Chapter 1: Normal Day, School, House
The beginning of a normal day was easy and predictable. You get up, eat breakfast, brush your teeth, get clothes, go off to school or work, depending on your age.
Even for Ed Christensen had predicted this with his intelligence and vaguely dread it, however small it might be. But all it did was drive his curiosity to discover the new legend of the month.
The Curiosity of Eastern World; Gensokyo.
But sadly it was a mere fancy of his, because no matter how much Ed wishes so, things just never turn out the way he had wanted. So Ed had merely spend the rest of his time reading comics and had went out explore the little woods off behind the cul-de-sac, finding it rather serene in his own little ways.
He had planned to do so again after school today; it was Friday so he had the next two days and a half all to himself to do whatever had floated across his mind at the time.
It was time to go to school, and Ed wants to explore the woods as much as he can.
"Ooh, school's extra bad today," Eddy groaned. "I didn't even got wind of what our History teach even saying half the time."
"Eddy, you wouldn't be so lacking in school and academic performances if you would actually pay attention to the teacher for once!" Edd chastised, "AND you wouldn't have to come to my assistance for everything that involves academics!"
"Uh oh! Looks like Mr. Grumpy Dickens is grumpy!" Ed giggled childishly, "I like Eddy being grumpy! He makes me laugh like chickens does!"
The boy snorted and giggled softly and couldn't help but reaching into his backpack, intending to eat a chicken leg he had stowed away at lunch for later consumption.
Instead, his finger slipped on something not quite chicken-y as he thought; it felt wooden, rough and something else, like a linen ribbon or something. Before he could dwelt longer than this, his hand had already found what he was finding initially and pulled it out.
All thoughts of what he had felt was immediately purged from his mind and was now on eating the chicken leg, noisily smacking his lips and tossing out saliva as he did so, much to the general exasperation to his other friends.
"Ed! For goodness' sake, can you please eat a little less filthily? You're contaminating our seats and the ones in front of ours with your pathogens!" his mysophobic and neurotic friend cried out noisily in indignation.
"Sorry Double-D," Ed munched noisily, slurping up the small amounts of sauces that had fallen onto his hands, burping soon afterwards. "Ed's stuffed."
Edd merely sighed and muttered something, "Lovable oaf," before returning to a rather heated conversation with Eddy.
Ed had returned to staring out at the moving scenery with a smile on his lips.
He always does that when he's thinking of something.
Hello, FanFiction world! The name's Jack and yer reading my first story ever (lies lol)! Here's a couple things to know before going onward. It's not mandatory, but it's pretty important if you do so.
1. This isn't a Romance fanfic.
While you might expect that from the genre, Fantasy/Adventure, I just want to make it abundantly clear that this isn't a kissy-kissy make out fanfic. So while there may be some cutesy fluff schoolboy-and-girl crushes every now and then, there'll be no hot 'n sexy lovemaking any time soon.
2. I'm a little inexperienced and have a really weird schedule.
I have ADHD, so that means I update my stories at crazy weird days, like a Christmas chapter at New Year's Eve or something along those lines. Sometimes I'll go on and update one chapter with a three day gap between each on a good month, or go whole months without updating on a bad one. So just a quick headsup if that happens.
3. I'm a schoolboy.
I have a life, a school life, a family life, a social life, etc. etc... So if you notice I'm gone for a week or two, I'm probably on vacation or have a school assignment to worry about or even a family gathering from now and then. Luckily, they're few and far in between so you don't have to worry about them much. I'll usually give people a warning just before leaving to expect roughly how long I'll be gone for, but if I leave for a long time with no warning, consult Rule no. 2.
And that's pretty much it! If you're reading this right now, I'm happy that you took the time to read each sentences word for word to know what happens and what to expect of me and this fic. So until then, I'll meet you at the end of each chapter.
See you all at the next chapter, bye!
