Okay readers. You probably know the story of Castle Rock's foursome Gordie LaChance, Chris Chambers, Teddy Duchamp, and Vern Tessio. And if you don't, then you're an idiot. If you're reading a Stand by Me fan fiction, then you might as well check out the movie before you read this. Otherwise, you won't understand a thing that's in my story. I'm just saying.
The ending of the movie was really sad, so I'm putting in this side story. Just like the narrator said "We talked into the night. The kind of talk that seemed important…until you discover girls." What happened when they did discover girls? When did Chris first fall in love? Did Gordie write a love story about a girl with whom he was infatuated with? Who was Teddy's first kiss? Was it possible that Vern got a date? Ok, the last one is sort of unlikely. Well, sort of unlikely.
So I decided to write a story about the boy's love lives while they still were young. It'll start out in the summer of 1957, about two years before the events in Stand by Me took place. The new characters (aw yeah I got kick-ass OCs!!!) are girls that bond with the LCDT foursome (LaChance, Chambers, Duchamp, and Tessio). They're all the same age as the boys.
The first girl that is introduced in this story is Lou. Her name's actually Louise, but she doesn't like being called that. She is an extremely carefree tomboy that is gifted with the ability of climbing up/over/under things, impersonating a boy, drawing, and running like the wind, which often leaves her friends panting and gasping for breath, usually yelling after her to slow down. But she's extremely resourceful and is a quick thinker.
Sam is…well…creative. Sometimes she tends to be a little ridiculous; especially when it comes to carrying some type of instrument everywhere she goes. But she isn't annoying, at least not always. Though sometimes at night while she and her friends are out camping and she's bored she'll start singing something random. Then they yell at her to be quiet and go to sleep.
The most extroverted of them all is Debbie, who is mildly eccentric and a bit bossy. Talkative and tangy, she's the most outgoing of the group. Yes, we all know who she's gonna end up with, but I'm gonna make it a little more interesting, if you know what I mean. She sometimes complains a lot, but most of the time she's patient enough. But you don't want to get her angry; believe me you don't.
Okay, Jimmie is the most introverted, yet somehow she seems to be the most entertaining of the group, especially with the fact that she can make any kind of joke, vulgar or not. She's the nicest, second in being resourceful compared to Lou. She doesn't like being subjected to doing stuff like telling a past story or being a guinea pig for the new milkshake flavor at the Diner. Beneath her quiet exterior lies the mind of a genius way ahead of her time.
Alright, guys. Feel free to check every now and then to see if I've added a new chapter or not. Don't worry; I'm not the type to make people wait…at least not much. So, hopefully you'll like my Stand by Me fan fiction, Just As Long As You Stand.
