"What? No you're not!"
"Note the 'my story.' I can be whoever I want to."
"Why would you want to be Zalle?"
"Because I like that name, ok? It's so sweet! Like, Sally but with a Z."
"What happened to Tif—"
"Don't mention that!"
This is the story of when I was alone.
"Wh—"
"Stop interrupting!"
"But when were you alone? The name, I can understand. But the story? Are you at least going to tell something true?"
"I was alone. Maybe you forgot, but . . . remember last year?"
"Oh, when you took off to—"
"Yep."
"And Fa—"
"Don't ruin it! It's my story, I—Josh!"
"Jeez, ok. And I'm Josh now? Great."
This is the story of what happened to me—how I found my family, how I lost a friend, how I gained a lover, and most of all . . . how I saved the world.
"Actually, you did not save the world. You—"
"My story! And really, I did save the world because if I hadn't done that then . . . you know what, you're ruining my story!"
"Ok, whatever. I'm leaving. This is getting out of hand."
"Good riddance."
"See ya later, N—"
"Don't say it!"
"See ya later, 'Zalle.'"
If there's one thing I've never known, it's normalcy. For awhile it was all I longed for. But this journey changed everything. Being different doesn't always mean being a freak. Sometimes it does, but sometimes it means so much more. Sometimes, it means being the only one who can save the world.
Ok, here's my traditional Author's Note. :):) I had to put it at the bottom so readers can get the full effect of the whole "I am Zalle, this is my story." "What? No you're not." sort of thing. Lol. Anywho, if you couldn't guess, this is the prologue to my newest MR story. Lol. I know I'm having enough trouble updating on whatever other ones I have going but this just came to me and I thought it was funny so I decided to use it. I really hope you all can tell who the two people speaking here are. I put plenty enough clues. :) Ok, well, off I go to bake some cookies! Maybe if I get enough reviews I'll actually write and post the next chapter in less time than normal..."normal" being, what, six months. ;) Really, though, reviews do help me along! I can't wait to get further into N--I mean Zalle's quest!!!
