This is my first fanfic, so it's probably really bad...
I DO NOT OWN EARTHBOUND OR ANY OF IT'S CHARACTERS (I wish I did though)
Earthbound:
Jeff's Story
Some people think boarding school would be fun. It could, but not if you've lived in one your whole life. My name is Jeff Andonuts, and I've lived in Snowwood Boarding School for as long as I can remember. I know my dad is working somewhere near Stonehenge, but only from the occasional letter he send me; I have no memory of actually meeting him. The only thing close to family I have is my roommate, Tony, who likes me in a creepy sort of way. He's a good friend though. Sometimes I wish I could leave this place and go see the rest of the world. All I know about the world I learned from books. I'm the best and smartest person here, but I always feel like there's something more important I have to do.
"…Jeff?"
"Hey Tony." Tony came in, closing the door behind him. He looked a little worried.
"You've seemed really depressed lately. What's wrong?"
"…It's nothing…"
"Jeff, I know you better than anyone else, I can tell something's wrong. You never act like this." Damn, why does he need to know so badly? I didn't want to tell anyone my plans.
"I'm waiting for a good time, then I'm running away from the school." If nobody knew, it would make leaving easier.
"What!? Why would you do that?" Tony was confused and shocked, why did he even care?
"I feel like there's something I have to do. I've been having these weird dreams lately, about a girl and three boys. I can only make out one face, and it's me. It has to mean something." They were strange dreams, there were three shadowy figures; a girl with a dress, long hair and a ribbon, a boy with a baseball hat and a backpack, a boy with a long ponytail, and me.
"Wow, that's weird. But you don't know anything for sure. What if you leave and you never meet these people?"
"I'll take that chance. But I'll meet them, I know I will."
"You sound pretty sure about this. Just tell me before you leave, okay?"
"Alright. Oh wow, it's late. We should probably get some sleep."
"Oh man, you're right! Night then." Tony got into bed and was asleep in a matter of seconds.
"…Night"
…Hello?
Another dream, the girl was talking to me this time, which never happened before.
I am a friend you have never met, my name is Paula. I'm here with my friend, Ness.
Paula and Ness? Suddenly, two of the shadows in my dream became visible. The girl, Paula, had a pink dress, blonde hair, she also seemed to have a frying pan strapped to her back; one of the boys, Ness, had a red baseball hat, black hair, a striped yellow and blue t-shirt, blue pants and a baseball bat strapped to his back. The fourth shadow remained as it was.
Please, if you can hear me, please answer…
"He-hello?"
Oh good, I was afraid you couldn't hear me.
"Uh… What's going on? Am I dreaming?"
No, at least I hope not, we're trapped and we need help. …What's your name anyway?
"Oh! Sorry, my name's Jeff." Then I realized, I was awake, I hadn't fallen asleep yet.
"Oh man, this isn't a dream. Where are you? How can I help?"
Jeff, we're in Threek. We went into a hotel and were attacked by zombies.
"…"
Ness thought it would be a good idea; also it might have something to do with the zombie girl…
"Zombies?" this was getting weird.
Threek has a zombie problem. Ness thought we should help the people out. Now we're stuck somewhere, the door is locked, and we can't blast it open.
"Well guess I have no choice but to help out. I've been waiting for a good time to leave this place, and this is probably a good time." Finally, a reason to leave this place.
I'm sorry I can't really help you, but I appreciate this a lot.
Hello? You said your name's Jeff, right? It was a boy's voice.
"Yeah, you're Ness?"
Yeah, I'm not sure if you know this yet, but we're traveling to find 8 sacred spots in order to save the world. I was told that me and three other people would travel together. There's me and Paula, and probably you at this point, and another boy.
"So that's what my dreams meant…"
You've had dreams too? Guess you really are one of the 'Chosen Four'.
"'Chosen Four',huh? Well, I better get going if I want to leave before anyone wakes up."
Heh, okay then. Guess we'll be seeing you soon enough. The voice vanished.
I sat up, I got some stuff together in a small bag, and before I left the room, I decided to wake Tony.
"Tony?"
"Hungh? Jeff? What's going on?"
"You asked me to tell you when I decided to leave."
"What? Now?" Tony seemed surprised that I was leaved so soon, "Well, let me help you get out of here, okay?"
"Alright."
"And tell me what happened so suddenly." Guess he had a right to know. So I told him about the conversation I had with Paula and Ness.
"Wow… that's kinda weird don't you think?"
"I really don't actually."
"How do you know it wasn't a prank call?"
"Tony…"
"What?"
"THEY WERE TALKING INTO MY MIND."
"Oh."
"Well, I'm leaving this place for good."
"Well," Tony said as he got up, "Let's break outta the school!"
"Just don't make to much noise, okay?"
So, what do you think? Please review so the next chapter's better!
