YC: Self-insert, yup!! ^_^ For various reasons I'll be using our friend's nicknames which come pretty close to an actual name anyway. Here's a little chart-thing to help you remember:

Meg$= YC or...me XD

Cara= One of my bestest friends.

Beckerz= Another of mah bestest friends. :D Who comes in later because....BECAUSE! xP

I won't stick my brother in here since he's 20 and he might beat the crap out of me if I try to "capture his essence" in a Trigun fan-fiction.

Ok! Not fancy at all but resourceful. ; There ya go!! And...I prefer to use Meg since Meg$ is kind of tedious to keep typing alot. I honestly HATE that name(Meg), but hey, you get stuck with it when your real name's Margret. (Welsh for shrewd and clever. Mwahahaha!)

First Chapter: The Cliche' DVD Player Accident

********

"When I was just a little girl my momma used to tuck me in to bed and she read me a story. It always was about a princess in distress and how a guy would save her and end up with the glory. I'd lie in bed and think about the person I wanted to be. Then one day I realized the fairy-tale life wasn't for me." Meg bobbed her head to the beat as she sat in front of her tv watching a commertial break on the Disney channel. The song finished and the program went back to Kim Possible.

"YEAH! Go Rufus!!" Meg shot her fist into the air. Something caught her eye out of the window. "Whoa, what the crap is up with the sky?" she got up and looked out. The grey clouds she could see past the thick ring of trees outside her yard were almost black. It was April around six o'clock, and this wasn't natural for Tennessee weather. "Oh shiznit. I'd better check the weather channel. Looks nasty." she cleared her dad's huge workboots and landed back in the chair and changed the channel. The satilite was blinking on and off, and it took alot longer to get the weather forcast. Finally Meg reached the channel and pressed the blue select button. The screen flickered in and out but the sound remained basicly audible.

"And now for the local forcast," the guy said. Meg sighed with relief. She had made it. She checked out the window again and the wind was picking up and the trees swayed almost at 90 degree angles. (May I remind you that the trees around my house are very tall and very thin. I also live on top of a hill ; This is based off the freak storm in April when I lost our old computer to a rogue lightning bolt. NOOO WINDOWS 98 BABEH!! WHY'D YOU HAVE TO DIE?!)

"Eek." she jumped back into the chair. Eagerly she awaited the forcast for the Middle-Tennessee area.

"Strong winds below sixty miles an hour, 120% chance of rain, and severe T-storms all night. Tornado watches are in effect for Williamson County, Hickman County, Wilson County, Davidson County,....." the list went on. Meg heard rain start pouring outside. She sighed and turned off the tv. Living out in the middle of the country on top of a hill wasn't exaclty good during an extremely severe freak thunderstorm. Meg went upstairs to her room and searched out all of her flashlights. The power was expected to go out this far out of town with such a storm, so she found all the candles and the lighter too.

"Hey Cara your coming right?" she had her cell phone. The power had already gone out as well as the phonelines, and it was around seven. Meg's parents were out of town for almost two months, and her brother was up in his room sleeping until he had to go to work, but in this weather there wasn't much chance for that.

"Yeah, I'm on your driveway now. Mom's driving us. Mind if she stays here for a while? I don't think she's exited about going down the hill in this weather." her friend answered.

"Hehehe. Sure, that's fine. Yeah, I see you guys. Just run towards the door, its open. And we have towels."

"Alright, thanks!" Cara hung up. Meg opened the door and two dripping people dove into the house. "So," she said. "Anyone up for a movie on the PS2? We have this generator for emergencies and I hooked the TV and the Playstation 2 up to it. So we can play games or watch something. How bout it?" Meg seemed oblivious to the fact that Cara and her mother were soaking wet. Cara and her mother looked at each other. Meg sighed. "I'm joking. Hurry upstairs, there's a bunch of towels and junk layed out and clothes that you could wear until these are dry. Happy?" they nodded and trudged up the stairs.

*fourty minutes later*

"Man, this is great! Watching Lord of the Rings on a large screen tv and eating popcorn with rootbeer, during a freak thunderstorm! This chance doesn't come very often." Meg leaned back and munched on more popcorn. Cara pulled out a bag of candy. "Want some?" she offered.

"Yeah! Break out the sugar-stash baby! We neeeeed sugar!!" Meg returned to the tv screen. Cara dumped the candy on both of their laps since they were sitting next to each other and had a blanket over each of them because it was freezing cold.

*three hours and thirty minutes later*

"SUGAR! SUGAR! SUGAR!" Cara bounced still sitting on the couch. After finishing "The Fellowship" Meg had put in her Trigun DVD. They had watched one episode, the first one. It was going to be a Trigun-one-sit marathon. Cara's mother was taking a nap in the guest room.

"Oooooh can we skip to the episode where Wolfwood comes in? Or maybe, all the way up to "Live Through"?" Meg was shaking too from so much energy. Cara sighed. "Well....I think Knives rules, even though he creeps me out...alot."

"Along with everything else! I thought Legato scared you." Meg switched around the menu absent-mindedly.

"He does!!" Cara shuddered. "But...but......why?" Meg persisted.

"He's evil!!"

"NO! He's not evil! Just misguided!" Meg joked. "Hehehehe...sure. He wants to kill everyone then." Cara kept fishing around for an excuse.

"Nah, that's Knives, Legato's just willing to do anything for Knives. Haven't you noticed Legato's fondness to children?" Meg popped more pocky into her mouth. "errr...." Cara looked skeptical.

"Like when he made all those adults wander out of the towns. He left the kids."

"And?"

"And in that one episode, 'Diablo', Legato gives a kid a hotdog and fuzzes her head. I think that should count. Shouldn't it?"

"No.....oh fine. But not the one where Chapel dies. That one's...creepy. I just wanna see Knivesu." Cara leaned back. "YAY!" Meg said happily. She was about to push the Eject button when Cara came over and started poking her and doing her trademark Smeagol impressions in Meg's ear.

"Its MIIIINE! Yesss, yesss, its ours, isn't it, Precious? Master betrays us...." it went on.

"GAH! Man, that's so NOT cool!!"

"Master betrays us! WHY Master?"

"I'm NOT Frodo!!"

"Stupid FAT hobbit!!"

"Shut UP, man!"

Meg was still trying to press the button and push Cara off when a bolt of lightning hit the generator outside. A sudden jolt of pain and energy coursed forcefully through both the girls and they blacked out.

*later*

"Huh...what the...." Meg's eyes fluttered open to bright sunlight and sand blowing gently through the air. Sunlight, she thought. Sand? WHAT? She felt Cara next to her. "Cara, Cara, wake up man! Something freakish just happened!!" Meg took Cara by the shoulders and shook the living hell out of her. Cara mumbled. "No.....did we fall asleep? Good. No more Legato. Is my mom still here?" she said thickly. "NO!! JUST WAKE UP ALREADY GEEZ!! SOMETHING WEIRD HAPPENED AND I'M FREAKING OUT!!" Meg slapped Cara across the face slightly. Cara jerked up, and looked around. "BLAH! Sunlight! It buuurns! Sand? Sunlight? What the--" Cara stood up visibly shaking, and looking around feverishly.

"Cara check out the sun...s! Two... oh...my.....freaking Lords of Exploding Chickens! WE'RE ON GUNSMOKE!!" Meg shuddered, unable to take in what had just happened. Cara looked up, sheilding her eyes and saw the suns. She gaped open-mouthed, and started mouthing wordlessly. "I'd find this really cool if I wasn't about to DIE!!" Cara leaned on Meg for support. Meg sighed. "Well you haven't seen all the episodes yet, and I'll I need to do is see the rest of 'Live Through' and the last three and I'll be finished. Thank the Almighty E. Chicken Lords. Come on, if we're going to be zapped to a world in anime we might as well make the most of it."

Meg helped Cara up to the top of the dune and they looked all around. "You know what?" Cara said. "This is just like those stories on FanFiction.net! Its like....a cliche DVD player accident. Too weird. Good thing I was wearing my CD player case/CD case which happens to have your CD's and player in it. And tons of batteries. YAY Lord of the Rings soundtracks!! Praise your Mightly Lords of Chicken or...uhh..yeah!"

"Funny," Meg said as they walked towards the tell-tale signs of a town. She could see the bulb's glare in the distance, and the prayed they'd make it safely. "Hand me my CD player, would ya? I left my CD in there."

"Okie dokie."

YC: GOTTA have your music! That part with the CD's was a little cheesey, but I can't imagine being anywhere without my CD player. I mean, I take it everywhere inside my bag/purse/tomboy-backpack/thing. o_O; And yes, Cara and I ARE both insane to some point, and fans of Lord of the Rings. ^_^

Cara: UNKLE KENNIE!

YC: AHHHHH! STOP CALLING ME THAT!! I'M NOT A GUY! AND I CAN'T FENCE!!

Cara: You can fence with socks, remember?

YC: O.O I told you NEVER to speak of that!!

Cara: Preeeeeeeeciousssssss

YC: BANANNA!

Cara: EEK!

YC: First REAL self insert. I'm more serious at times in weird freaky situations if you haven't noticed. Being insane doesn't cancel out being slightly responsible for my age!! ^_^ Which by the way, I'm only 13, almost 14. WHOO! R&R! TANKS!

Cara: WHERE?

YC: oO;
