I fell in love with the movie Annie (1999 flim). Then I realize that Anita is like Annie.
1. They are both orphans.
2. They are both rebels.
3. Well...hmmm everyone seems to fit the cast.
So anyways I also want to thank 1000GreenSun and her story: Beauty and the Best which is an Awsome TW/PG story! I really loved it and wanted to make a sorta movie/book story that features my own OC's as the main characters. So I give her credit for the idea. And I give credit to the directors who made Annie and Losh. X3 Enjoy!
-Ladyprotecta out!
P.S In the story there are actually two Annies. Anita And Andrew! X3
Anita sighed as she looked outside of her grimy window at the orphanage for special children. All around her young children just like her said their prayers, sang songs and told stories of their amazing lives before they were dropped down into the old building.
"Alright! All of you twerps, ta bed! Now!" shouted a lady with green hair.
The kids jumped off the bed and pulled the covers over their heads. The hag marched up and down the aisle checking each an every child. She stopped at Anita's.
"I'm watching you, you brat!" she hissed. She straighten up and march towards the door.
"Now to sleep all of you rats!"
"We love you, Miss. Emerald Empress!" they all chorused.
"Oh shut up!"
Anita shared a bed with her twin Andrew. "Hey Drew are you bored as I am?" she whispered.
"Duh!"
"Do you ever wish that- oh no Stella's crying again!" Anita jumped out of bed and rushed to the little five year old's side.
"There, there sweet heart! I promise!" she cooed, hugging the girl.
Stella cried, "I want out!"
"So do the rest of us," mumbled Zyx.
"Shut up, Z. Can't you see she's just a kid! Don't listen to'em girl, he's just grumpy," said Anita, "I want to be free too! That's why I'm breaking out tonight!"
The kids looked at her as they sat up and watched her march to the door. They begged her not to go.
"Sis! You'll be killed by Miss. EE!" hissed Drew.
"So what?"
"Sooo… I'm coming with you! We've been together since birth so we might as well face the same fate!"
The kids gasped as the twin rushed out the door and into the darkened hallways. Anita and Andrew tiptoed past the kitchen. The door to freedom was just in their grasp. Skittles could just imagine finding her parents once again.
As a baby, they left her and her brother on the steps of this wretched orphanage. Now they could escape and find them. She could see themselves running up the steps of some mansion or maybe a penthouse and seeing their mother gasping with tears of joy that would stick to her porcelain face and snowflakes in her hair. Their father would come out and his eyes would open widely as the smoke pipe would fall from his moustache mouth. Their arms would be opened wide as they welcomed their children home and promising them that they wouldn't leave them anymore.
Suddenly a horrid face of the green witch appeared in front of them. "Well I see the rat and her alibi trying to break out. Face it sweetie. Dreams are not real! This is the real world. You clean for me till you're adopted, which of course for you is …NEVER!"
Anita wanted to punch the life out of her but her brother pushed up the stairs as the evil hag followed them.
"NOW GET TO BED!"
"Good night, Miss. Emerald Empress!" they said together.
"Yeah, yeah!"
"We love you, Miss. Emerald Empress!"
Anita kicked the door opened and stood there with her brother as Emerald Empress turn on the lights blinding everyone.
"Up and Attem! Time ta clean, you ungrateful brats."
"But its only midnight!" said Oblinara, rubbing her eyes.
"Well you can get the work done faster. Then you can do more work down stairs!"
"We love you, Miss Emerald Empress!"
"But what about Breakfast," asked Redlo.
"There is no breakfast. Because of these Rebels, you're all punished. Now get to work!"
"Aw!" the kids marched to their buckets and threw water on floor and scrubbed till their slacks and skirts were soaking wet.
"The witch!" said Obi.
"The hag!" said Zyx.
"The witch hag with a big nose!" chanted Jordan and the other 34 kids joined in. They tore off their sheets and folded their mattresses. Stella stood on her bed.
"Fix my toes! Do the laundry! Clean the toilets!" she demanded, mocking the Emerald Empress. The kids grabbed their pillows and ran to her.
"Yes Miss. Emerald Empress!" they yelled as they batted her with their pillows. They chased her around the room and she jumped into laundry tub that would be taken by Mr. Kent soon. The Emerald Empress walked in, blowing her whistle as the kids got into like.
"Good Morning, Miss Emerald Empress!"
"Good Morning, Miss Emerald Empress!" shouted Stella from the tub.
"Good god!" screamed the witch as she ran to the tub and bashfully pulled the little girl out. The kids smirked and giggled. A man with slick black hair under a brown newspaper boy cap came in.
"Morning Kids!" he shouted.
"Good Morning, Mr. Kent!" they yelled back happily. They loved him. Sometimes when the Empress wasn't in the room, they would all huddle around him and he would tell them the gossips he heard from the rich people and ghost stories of his trips in rundown apartments. When he did night shifts, he would tiptoe into the room and slide candy under their pillows following a good pat on the head as he wished them a home that would bring them happiness.
"Clark, make it quick they're busy, hun," said the Empress as she turned her back on the kids. Anita nudged her brother as she climbed into the tub. The kids grinned and threw their sheets on top of her.
The Empress turned to them and the stood up straight and walked around checking every inch of the room. The kids lined up and stood next their beds looking like upset soldiers who here just to get killed and not get the honor they deserve.
"Roll call!" whistled the Empress. She walked down the line and stopped at Drew's bed.
"Where's ya sister?"
"Dunno. She loves to sneak off."
The Empress groaned and looked around. "Annie? Where are you?"
"Um… Miss. Emerald Empress, Annie ain't here!" laughed Ayla.
"Oh and where is she?" the Empress gave her a death look and she stopped laughing.
"Mr. Kent rolled her out with the Laundry!" howled Rochel as she fell to the floor laughing.
"Oh my god! What? Mr. Kent, wait! Oh god! I'm going to lose my job!" the Empress dashed out the door and ran after Mr. Kent's truck. The kids broke out in laughter and ran to the windows as their enemy ran down the street like a lunatic.
"STOP THAT TRUCK!" she yelled.
"Man sis! I hope you find our parents soon!" screamed Drew as he grabbed a pillow and hit Jordan with it. A snow of feathers fell to the floor as a game of Pillow fight started.
Anita was free but where to start looking. It was so cold that she had to keep running to warm herself. She stopped by a corn stand and stole a cob and ran down the street, skidding to a stop and hid in an alleyway.
She took shelter behind a few boxes. She placed her cob on her ragged skirt and sighed. Boy was she tired. She watched as some cops loaded a stray cat like animal into a truck. Almost seemed like her life. A shadow creep close and a vine like tentacle snatched her cob.
"Hey!"
A Drackoflora's head popped out and it gave puppy eyes as it gave her back her cob.
"Aww sorry. Here you can have half of my corn. She broke it into two and gave the half to the lonely Drackoflora. A sound of footsteps came running.
"Annie?" yelled a familiar voice.
"Drew?" she jumped up as a look alike of her in a boy version threw his arms around her.
"How are you?" he asked.
"Drew! Why are you here? How did you get out?"
"Jumped off the second story."
"The second story. You rascal!"
"Heh. Hey whose your pal?"
"Oh him? He's just a Dracoflora. I was sharing my meal with him. Frozen corn on the cob of course."
"Wow. Well since we're together, let's hit the road!"
"Hey you!"
They turned around and saw to policeman coming towards them. "Not you! The Drackoflora!"
"Uh sir he's ours!" said Drew.
"Yeah," Anita chimed in, "His name is…Spike!"
"Come here Spikey!" said Drew.
"Come here Spike."
The Drackoflora ran into Anita's arms and licked her and her brother's faces and they giggled. "Well then keep'em on a leash next time!" said the officer.
"Will do, sir," said Drew.
Yet they were separated from Spike a few hours after and were brought back to square 1: the dreadful poor house call the Orphanage.
"Ungrateful kids! You nearly cost me my job!" yelled the Empress.
"We love you, Miss Emerald Empress!"
"You two are going to be working all night and day! No rest, no food, no nothing!"
A knock on the door interrupted her ranting. She opened the door to see a young girl at the age of 17 standing there. She looked rich, noting her hair was neatly comb and styled to one side that it covered her left eye. She had on a violet coat and matching hat and had on black shoes.
"Wow, she's pretty!" said Anita.
"All them rich ladies are pretty," hissed Drew.
"Hello I'm Miss. Salu or "Violet" Digsby. Part of the Orphanage Board of New Metropolis."
"Oh my goodness. If it involves the girl hiding in the Laundry tub and the boy jumping out of the second story, I can explain!" the Empress stuttered.
The girl gave a confused look. "I'm sorry. You must have me mistaken for someone else. I am Mr. Querl Dox's personal secretary. You see Mr. Dox has requested to have an orphan come and live with him for a month." She smiled at the twins as they waved at her.
"Mr. Dox?"
"Yes…Mr. Dox."
"The Mr. Dox? Richest boy in New Metropolis. He made millions at age nine!"
"Yes. And he and his mother, Brianna Dox have requested to have an orphan live with him for Christmas. And I see two of them here."
"Oh Anita and Andrew, those are my kids. And they are monsters."
"Monsters? If this has something to Anita hiding in the Laundry tub and Andrew jumping out of the second story of this building I'll have the Board hear-"
"Fine. Take Annie."
"Oh no, I couldn't possibly take her away from her brother. Those two belong together as brother and sister. Mind if I take them both?"
"Fine. Two for one deal."
"Thank you. And where are their coats?"
"Coats? When do kids need coats?"
"Oh it's alright we'll buy some on the way to the mansion. We'll go to Burgundy's."
"Jimmy Crickets! Did you hear that brother? Were going to a designer store to get coats!" cried Anita. Violet giggled as she pushed them gently out the door.
"We're going on Vacation!" yelled Drew to the crowd of boys and girls. They cheered and wished them good luck.
After get their coats, Anita and Drew scuttled up the steps of the mansion with Miss. Violet following them, grinning and laughing as the kids exclaimed how big it is. They opened the doors and the children gasped in awe.
"First we'll clean the windows," said Anita.
"Then we'll wash the dishes," added Drew.
"Guys you wouldn't do that. The maids and butlers will handle that," laughed Violet.
"Really?"
"Yes now run along and get your new clothes that Miss Imra made for you. Then come down stairs for supper. Oh Miss. Dox!" Violet looked up and saw a lady with Jade skin with blond hair coming towards them.
"Yes, Miss Digsby?"
"Meet our guests, Anita and Andrew."
"It's a pleasure to meet you ma'am. You look pretty," the twins said at the same time then hurried off to their rooms.
"Oh twins! Oh Violet they are adorable, but you know that Querl-"
"Yes Miss Dox, I know that your son called for one child orphan but if I took one of them away then he or she would miss their sibling. We'll just have to wait till he is out of his studies."
"Yes, yes. Oh they're back so soon? Oh and look Salu, they have matching sailor suits! How adorable!"
"Goodness! Andrew you forgot your hat and Anita, your hair ribbon!" yelled Miss Imra as she waved them in the air. She quickly ran down the steps and placed that hat gently on Drew's head and tied Anita's hair back with a light blue ribbon. Just then a young man who looked like Brianna and was a few months older that Violet walked in. Imra, Brianna and Violet curtsied to him and Violet rushed up to him.
"Mr. Dox. Your guests have arrived," she said stumbling on her words.
"Guests? Violet, I only call for one guests, not two," he said in a low tone.
"Y-Yes but sir, if I took one away, that one twin would start to miss the other. They have grown up together you know."
"Fine. You kids tell me your names."
"I'm Andrew!" the boy bowed.
"And I'm Anita! You may call us Drew and Annie, sir," said the girl as she curtsied.
"Yes. Yes. Anyways, I have work to do in my office so no bickering, do I make myself clear?"
"Yes sir," the twins mumbled. Boy this was going to be a fun Christmas.
"Querl, can you please spend sometime with them while they are here?" asked Violet as she stopped him.
"I suppose, Miss Digsby. You are excused till 7:00 pm. That is all." Said Mr. Dox.
"Yes, sir." She backed away as the doors closed.
"Oh Violet, your face is red," said Imra.
"What? No!"
"She's been swooning over that boy since she became his personal secretary," giggled Imra.
"I'm his secretary! I have no time for love!"
"They have been childhood friends since they were little, then Querl or Brainy got rich and well before he moved into his mansion, he begged her to be his personal secretary that way they could still be friends. But ever since, their friendship sort of dissolve that he just notices her as a secretary," sighed Brianna.
"I'm not in love!" screamed Violet and she sauntered out of the room, her face red as ever.
"She's defiantly in love!" said Anita.
"Yup," added Drew.
They decided to plan out what they were going to do while they were here, so they skipped off to dinner, snicker and joking about how the Emerald Empress's face looked when they left. Boy, stunned and envious that hid under her messed up green hair and ragged clothes.
They had a wonderful dinner of pies, cakes of four layers, tea from Britain, and roasted chicken that was the size of a large bowl of Jello. Then off they went and curled up in their own soft-feathered beds, dreaming of their adventures they would have here, of the other kids finding homes, and of course finding their parents.
And now a word from Annie-
Skittles: I can't believe LadyProtecta did not use my name!
Drew: Um sis, You name is Anita or Annie!
Skittles: Duh But I want Skittles.
Me: Please don't kill me! I'll put it in I promise!
Spike: Yip yip
Me: isn't he suppose to be a Dracoflora?
Skittles: Yea but he thinks he's a dog. Oh great he swallowed his squeak toy again. Now he's got a neck that is shaped like a squeak toy.
Spike: Squeak Squeak
Me: 0 o 0''
