HOWL'S MOVING EMOTIONS
CHAPTER ONE
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Howl's Moving Castle Rights, or anything related to that. I'm just some bored fanfic writer who wishes I had something to do with Howl's Moving Castle, as it is a wonderful story.
The Start of Something Bad
"Markl, could you please give Calcifer another log? He IS getting a bit dimmer..." Sophie Hatter said from the upstairs. Her and her "significant other", Howl the great wizard of the wastes were attempting to clean out a room for the both of them.
"Yeah, it's gettin' hard to breath! C'mon! It's like me cutting off your supply of air! Do a guy a favor!" Calcifer whined from the hearth.
"Okay, okay!" Markl cried from the backyard. With the new yard, rooms and space, Markl was always busy outside, either practicing his magic, or playing with Suliman's dog. It was a glorious life for a young boy.
"I don't know, Howl...That wallpaper looks better with...THIS carpet..." Sophie said upstairs, pointing at pictures in a book, Howl hovering over her, his hands on her shoulders.
"Ah, I see...You mean...THIS one?" Howl said, flicking his wrist. Just then, a new wallpaper and carpet appeared where the old one had just been spread.
"Yes...Although...THAT one DOES match the windows, but brown and red are dreadful together..." Sophie said nonchalantly, with her hand still on her chin, eyes glued to the book, her back leaning against Howl.
"Well, we could always change the window panes, and then--''
"Hey, come quick, look at it! You have to see, you have to see!" Markl skidded into their room, his face aglow with excitement, and slight worry.
Markl bounded down the stairs, almost tripping at the last step.
"Easy, Tiger!" Calcifer said, his eyes following the young and wreck less boy.
Sophie and Howl followed, only not running, just curiously walking towards the door where Markl was headed.
"See! See it! Look, look!" Markl said, turning back into the doorway, tugging on Sophie's dress.
Howl began to say, "Easy there, calm down...", but he was cut short by his mouth falling agape.
Sophie had the same expression on her face.
"Calcifer, get moving. 100 miles southeast, as far away from her as possible. We've got ourselves another war."
After notes: Eh, sorry, it is remarkebly short...But seriously, it took me five minutes to jot this down...XP...But don't worry, I'm going to try to get some more up tonight. 6/18/06
