Chapter 1:
Every great story starts with a great adventure, and every great adventure starts with a long and sometimes strange tale. Well our story is no different. It started with our own little tale. A tale we thought wouldn't change a thing.
It all started at a high school in Pennsylvania. Five girls are waiting upstairs for their sixth friend to show up. Their was nothing special about these girls (aside from the fact they were all a little nuts.) They were perfectly normal. Well almost.
The first girl was the tallest of the group. She had her brown hair tied back in a ponytail and her blue eyes carried a bored expression. Her stick thin body was leaning against the locker lazily while her friends continued to ramble on.
The second girl was almost as tall as the first. Her shoulder length brown hair was tucked messily behind her ears and her teal eyes watched every cute, athletic boy that passed. She had a normal sized body and a somewhat out of this world look right now.
The third girl had hair that defied the laws of gravity! It was brown and tied in a sloppy bun. She had brown eyes that looked happy but held some worry in them.
Fourth comes a girl who looked positively demented. Though she was talking to her friends her green eyes held a mischievous look in them. She had golden hair down to mid back and had nails that could cause serious damage in one swipe.
Finally came a girl who looked like she just came out of Hot Topic (the store). She had charcoal black hair down to her butt and was wearing all black. She had grey eyes covered by glasses but they held happy yet depressed looks in them.
By order in which I described them they shall be called Kristen, Emma, Chelsea, Ashley, and Bri.
They were talking about Japan and Anime again, which Kristen was getting tired of so she tried to switch the subject.
"Has anyone seen Courtney today?" she asked edging them on to another subject. Luckily for her it worked.
"I saw her earlier," Emma said. "But she had forgotten my Titanic DVD in her locker so she had to go get it. Did you know that today marks the 93rd anniversary of the sinking of the great ship?" Emma said as her eyes turned back to the jock group.
"Fascinating…" Chelsea mumbled. "So how was everyone's night last night?" she asked as she contemplated whether or not to hit Emma for being an idiot. In the end her evilness won and she delivered her a very large smack to the skull.
"Well," Bri began. "Nan and Nanna have been giving me a headache all morning. When she got questioning look from all her friends she explained that Nan and Nanna were her alter ego's. Everyone shook their head like they understood and went back to talking until someone yelled behind Emma.
"Hey get out of my way! I want to get to my locker!" (Major jock) Travis McDougall exclaimed sending Emma about two feet into the air. When she came back down she turned and glared daggers at him. He just smirked.
"Oh come on Emma you know you like it when I sneak up on you like that." He said taking a few steps closer to her.
'If he's trying to intimidate me it's failing...' Emma thought. "The only thing I like about you Travis is when you leave me alone." She said turning her head.
"Fine go ahead and say whatever you want but you know you want some of this…" he said shaking his butt slightly.
'Grrr… I hate when they do that. Why must all jocks do that.' Emma thought as her eyes traveled down there for only a moment before snapping back up. 'You have got to learn to resist this Emma' a second voice in her head mused.
"You'll tell me your true feelings for me someday Emma." Travis said smirking as he walked away. Emma found her voice again and yelled after him.
"The day I say anything like that Travis is the day Chelsea becomes a crossdresser!" and at that moment Chelsea decided to walk up.
"You have no chance with him Emma. He's way out of your league." She said looking at her friend.
"I do not like him Chelsea!"
"Oh yeah what about Matt and Zack?" Chelsea said with a gleeful smirk.
"Never liked Zack and Matt was a one time thing I swear."
"The school seems to think differently."
"Well this school's idiotic." Emma said trying to finish this conversation quickly.
"Well I don't deny they have large muscles and probably…" Chelsea trailed off but Emma rolled her eyes and nodded her head as if to say she understood. Just then Courtney showed up.
"Hey guys! I found the Titanic DVD and I got this cool emergency whistle." Courtney was almost the exact opposite of Bri. She had bright blonde hair, happy blue eyes, and a ready for fun disposition. The only similarity was that they were about the same height.
Chelsea turned around to her newly arrived friend. "Hey I want to blow it!"
Emma, who had been in her own little world, thought Chelsea was still talking about the jocks and turned to her with a shocked expression. 00 "Chelsea!"
"What?" Chelsea asked until it dawned on her. "Oh no I was talking about the whistle not them." She added laughing.
"Why does everything you say sound perverted?" Emma asked and Chelsea shrugged. Courtney then decided to come and join the two.
"Hey Chelsea, hey Emma. Thanks for letting me borrow the Titanic DVD Emma, though I fell asleep during the second half so I'm lost on who dies." Courtney said grinning.
"Here's a hint blondie, everyone except Rose." Chelsea said.
"Seriously!"
"Yeah, all the hot guys die. It's so unfair." Emma sighed softly. "I would have loved to have been on the Titanic. It would have been so much fun."
"You mean until it was sinking and then you'd be crying like a baby." Chelsea added and Courtney tried to suppress a laugh without much luck.
"I think it would be pretty cool to be on the Titanic. I could probably stay alive until it completely went under." Ashley chimed in as she, Kristen, and Bri joined the group. They continued talking about it until they heard an annoying voice behind them.
"Please you'd be the first person to die." Came the persistent voice of Ashley's cousin Dalton. The girls turned toward the blonde boy and saw that he had brought the whole jock group with him. Most of these guys Emma knew and in her short life, had liked.
There was Travis, (you met him earlier) Matt, (Ashley's other cousin and Emma's latest crush) Ryan, ( he was a football star and had odd names for Chelsea, but she had some for him too) Richy, (had a huge afro on his head) Zack, (let's just say he and Emma fought A LOT!) and Dalton.(EVIL! hisses)
"Like you would do any better?" Ashley spat at him. He did a jocky smirk (you know the kind) and Ashley heard Emma mumble "jack-ass" in which Chelsea replied with a "flush".
"Awww poor little cousin. The sad thing is we could have outlived you on the Titanic even if you were the richest people on earth and we were the poorest. You may argue that but see we are guys, and guys are stronger than girls, and the strongest always survive." Dalton finished with a fake knowledgeable expression.
"You idiotic, weak, stupid little fool!" Ashley yelled as her temper rose. "You have no clue how much I wish we had a chance to prove you wrong, with as many witnesses as God could give us. Then we could put you in your rightful place." Ashley finished triumphantly, and now it was the girls turn to smirk.
The boy's semi-shocked expressions were quickly rid of and replaced with annoyingly cocky looks. "Awww look guys, the little girls are making wishes." Zack said annoyingly and with that the guys left leaving five out of the six girls steaming.
"You guys really need to learn to ignore them." Kristen said plain and simply. Within five minutes the rest of the group had calmed down.
"Speaking of ignoring, we've been ignoring the time. We have like two minutes until the late bell rings. We better hurry." Bri said motioning to a clock. The girls looked up and then took off at a sprint toward the nearest door.
"Hey this stupid door won't open!" Emma complained slamming all her weight into the one door.
"That's because you're opening the wrong one first." Ashley said shaking her head. She went to the other door and pushed, but it wouldn't budge either. "hey what's the deal?" Ashley wondered aloud.
"Come on their must be a key missing or something. Let's go to the other door." They traveled down the hallway only to find out that it wouldn't open either.
"Ok so…we're trapped?" Courtney asked.
"I guess, along with every other freshman in this school. Oh well they can't blame us for being late now can they?" Chelsea happily said as the late bell rang. The girls started laughing until a voice rang over everyone else.
A century ago many were lost
And so this is what you shall see
For a foolish wish you shall pay the cost
And the Titanic is where you shall be
"Uhhh…. Ok creepy voice much?" Kristen asked as all eyes turned up to the intercoms.
"Well at least nothing else happened…" Chelsea said regaining her cheerful composite. Just then white glitter started falling from the ceiling.
"You had to say something didn't you Chelsea?" Bri asked and got an "Eh.." as an answer.
"Well it's only white glitter right? I mean nothing else is happening." Right when Chelsea said that though people started falling over unconscious.
"Chelsea can you do me a favor?"
"Yes Emma?"
"Will you stop talking PLEASE!"
"Is there a gas leak or something?" asked Kristen as she began to sway back and forth. Without notice her, Bri, and Courtney fell over in the middle of the hallway.
"Oh great, now they're gone." Ashley said while rolling her eyes. Just then our favorite jock group decided to reappear.
"Ok cousin, what did you do?" Dalton yelled in Ashley's face, but her hatred and stubbornness kept her from flinching.
"What do you mean by that!"
"Oh please! Everyone knows you and your group of friends here, are always chanting stuff!"
"Oh shut up baka!"
"See, see. That's one of the words!"
"That wasn't a spell!"
"THEN WHAT WAS IT!"
"That," Matt said calmly "is the Japanese word for idiot or fool." Everyone was now looking at him oddly. 0o "What? Emma told me."
"Well you're freaks for talking like that. What do you have to say huh?"
"What I say," Emma said "Is that I think you just lost another of your friends." She motioned to the floor where Travis was now lying. She looked back to the jocks, "Aren't you going to check if he's ok?" She stared intently at them and then realized that the glitter was taking its effect. "Fine I'll check." She bent down. "Pulse, normal. No fever. Breathing rational." She looked back up to her friends.
"So whatever this stuff is just makes the people fall asleep?" Chelsea asked with a hint of doubt in her voice.
"It would appear so." Emma said shaking her head. "Chelsea?" she asked quietly.
"What Emma?"
"Night-night." And with that she fell right beside Travis.
"Fantastic." Ashley said sarcastically and went to move Emma.
"Don't Ashley!" Chelsea said abruptly.
"Why not?"
"I think this is where she'd like to be." Chelsea said with one of her evil smirks. "Now what about these guys?" she asked motioning to the jocks left standing but looked completely out of it. Ashley got up and started pushing Dalton on the shoulder.
"I don't care what Emma says. Blondie here would never let me push him around like this. It's like…"
"It's like their bodies are here but their minds are in a different dimension." Chelsea finished Ashley's thoughts. Ashley, who had been paying attention to Chelsea's response, accidentally pushed Dalton a little too hard and he fell backwards.
"Oops." She said sheepishly. " Chelsea shook her head and looked at the last three.
"Well help me set them down before you kill all of them."
"And that's a bad thing how?" Ashley said but still followed Chelsea's orders and moved over to her taller cousin. "Ok how am I supposed to get him to the floor?"
"You'll think of something." Chelsea said and put her hands on Ryan's and Richy's shoulders. Without notice she pulled and they both fell on their faces. "See!" she said happily. Ashley smiled and did the same. Unfortunately the girls didn't notice that all the glitter that had been in the boys hair was now floating around them.
"So now what do we do?" Ashley asked.
The girls looked at each other, grinned evilly, and fell backward.
For a foolish wish you shall pay the cost
And the Titanic is where you shall be
