A/N: Hey all… I decided to write out my writer's block. I just started to write this and found it interesting enough to put it here, on Hopefully I'll inspire myself to write something for a chapter 10 for "The Superb". Plus, in reading the finished chapters, I laughed and chuckled a few times. You may find this kinda funny too. It's semi-funny and semi-serious at the same time. An unusual take for me to get rid of writer's block. Rated T due to some brief language. I have a bit of a foul mouth when expressing anger.
The Writer's Block
Chapter 1: The Weirdness Begins
What's up? I'm Marianne. Wha? You want my last name? Why? What's the point?
Sure, there's no Yeerks or evil aliens after me. I just want to get on with what happened. Heh heh, it's a really weird story…
Not too long ago, I discovered I had somewhat of a writer's block. I haven't even started a chapter 10 for the Animorphs story I had started to rewrite in after not touching it for a few years. "The Superb" was the title. It still is. Yeah, you heard me. I'm a writer. I love to write. I even plan to become an actual author one day.
So, I was in the computer room downstairs, on the internet. I was about to just write something, anything, when I heard a bunch of muffled voices upstairs, along with other noise. I had to go see what was going on, so I went upstairs, after signing off the internet. I left the computer on though.
My feet pounded up the two sets of stairs as fast as I could make them go. "Ow," I heard a voice say. Sounded like some kid that was in a room down the hall. Another voice spoke up a split second later. "Hey, ow! Get off Ax! You're standing on my leg!" A moment of silence as I cautiously crept by the wall. "Marco, are you okay?" asked a girl's voice. "I'm swell. I love the feeling of ten pound hooves on me," the other voice said in sarcasm. I stopped. The names sounded all too familiar. Ax, Marco… Nuh-uh. No way. It wasn't possible.
"Is everyone okay," yet another kid's voice asked. That had to be Jake. Oh God, I couldn't believe I'm accepting the fact that THE ANIMOPRHS were here. In my house! It was a good thing my parents were at work. They're both teachers. Mom being a substitute and Dad as a regular high school teacher.
One by one, most of them said yes. Their voices were coming from the bookroom! It's a small room to the right of my bedroom. It's used as mostly an attic. My bookshelf is in there, and I have a lot of books. Most I'm so lazy to pick up and read. So that's why I call it the bookroom.
I know Tobias and Ax had to be there too, but I guess their thought speech could only be heard by Jake, Marco, Cassie, and Rachel. I was up against the wall, feeling a bit freaked out. Who wouldn't be! I only thought the kids were just fiction that seemed real enough.
Finally, I stepped into the doorway, and knowing that the bookroom was small, it was full of human kids, one Andalite, and one red tailed hawk. Jake, Cassie, Marco, Ax, and Rachel were just getting up from off the floor. It was Tobias that noticed me first, as soon as I poked my head into the door way. He was fluttering around the room. A few of his feathers came off. His sudden movements scared me as I stumbled back. I felt my back hit the wall. The tall brown haired boy, Jake, gave the others an order. "Quick, grab her before she gets away! She could be a Controller!" Ow, my back… That was smart of me to jerk backwards like that.
It all happened too fast. Soon, I felt something hit the side of my head. WHAM! That's all I could remember before I blacked out.
