Disclaimer: I own only my real-life friends in this series! -evil laughter-
It was a nice, regular Saturday. Peggy, Emily, Lisa, and Douglas were at Isuzu's house, watching her open the shiny new Kingdom Hearts game.
Isuzu had long, black hair with silver highlights, and wore jeans and a black sleeveless shirt that said "I'M INSANE. GET OVER IT." in bold white letters on the front.
Peggy had black hair with blue tips, and sported a dark blue blouse with khaki pants that reached down to her knees.
Brown hair with sandy highlights was what Emily had, and she wore a white skirt and a purple shirt that said "DOGS RULE, YOU DROOL." on it.
Lisa had short dark brown hair with purple highlights, and had on a dark, jungle green dressy tank top and a light colored pair of shorts.
What Douglas had was short, neat black hair with silver highlights like Isuzu's, and a black tennis shirt that read "I PWN YOU AT TENNIS!!! HAHAHAHA!" with white shorts. He had a look on his face that suggested a low IQ...something he probably did have.
Isuzu gazed at the Kingdom Hearts CD. "Shiny…" Suddenly, she jumped up. "I'm hungry," she said, "I'm gonna go get some cookies, ok?" Without waiting for an answer, she jumped up and ran to the kitchen.
"Why don't we put in the CD and start the game?" Douglas asked after a few minutes.
"Sure, why not?" Peggy agreed. They started up the PlayStation 2, and clicked on 'New Game' on the title screen. "Let's pick Easy mode," she said, clicking on it. "Vibration on…hey, what's this?"
The screen now read, 'How many players?' and had numbers from 1-10 below it.
Lisa checked the box. "It says, for single player…" she said quietly. Of course, everyone's just STUPID that way and ignored her.
"Who cares, just pick 4," Emily said. "There are 4 of us here, anyways."
Peggy clicked on '4' and the game started. Suddenly, with a big WHOOSH, all of the 4 friends got sucked up into the TV.
---------------------------------------------------------
Isuzu came back, carrying cookies on a plate. She noticed the screen of the TV. "How nice, they started it for me," she thought out loud. Isuzu looked around, but saw none of her friends in the room. "Peggy?" she called. "Emily? Lisa? Douglas?"
She shrugged, thinking that they must be playing a trick on her, as always. Isuzu picked up the box, and started reading the small manual that came with it.
"The Destiny Islands are a beautiful paradise where children's laughter abounds. Day after day, Peggy, Emily, Lisa, and Douglas talk and dre-" Isuzu stopped suddenly. She read the line again, only to find the same thing. "Something strange's going on…" she whispered.
Isuzu looked at the screen again, noticing now 4 small figures lying on the ground. She grasped the TV. "PEGGY! EMILY! LISA! DOUGLAS!"
They stirred slowly, looking around them with confused faces. "Huh?..." Emily muttered. They all looked up, and saw Isuzu in the air, floating around. "MOMMY!" Douglas screamed like a girl and hid behind Peggy. Peggy, in turn, slapped him.
"Geez, it's only Isuzu," Peggy said. Isuzu looked at them. "You can see me!" she exclaimed. "Yup." Emily confirmed. "Are you really here?" Lisa asked curiously. "Because I don't think floating around is really natural, you know…"
Isuzu looked at all of them. "Well…you guys are somehow in that new game I just bought…ya know, Kingdom Hearts? And I'm…outside of the TV…controlling you guys, I guess...so I'm not really in the game!"
Douglas, by now, had fainted, and Peggy was slapping him continuously. Douglas, though, woke up as Isuzu finished talking. "WE'RE STUCK IN A VIDEO GAME!" He screamed. Peggy, Lisa, and Emily looked at each other. "Let's not tell him, or he's gonna drive us crazy by screaming all the time," Lisa whispered to the other two. They nodded in agreement.
Peggy looked at Douglas, still screaming in fear. "No, Doug, we're just at…er…Monkey Land, and we're in the COOLEST ride, Monkey…Monkey…" Lisa finished the sentence "…Monkey food."
Douglas stopped screaming, and looked at Peggy. "Food?" he whispered. "Um…yeah, food!" Peggy answered meekly. Douglas, after a heartbeat, started singing his theme song. "FOOD IS GOOD, VERY VERY GOOD…" Suddenly, he was cut off by a mysterious voice that echoed around them.
"So much to do, so little time…Take your time. Don't be afraid. The door is still shut. Now, step forward. Can you do it?"
Douglas screamed like a girl again, and hid behind Peggy. Emily kicked him, and thrust him forward. "Well, CAN you step forward, Douglas?" Emily smirked. "Something's coming…" Lisa warned them. Suddenly, four stones appear, and on top of them are a sword, a long curved sword, a staff, and a bow with arrows.
"If you give it form… It will give you strength. Choose well." The voice spoke.
Douglas was already approaching the sword. "Shiny…" he said, and grabbed it. "Is this the power you seek?" the voice asked. "Shiny…" Douglas repeated. The voice for once seemed confused, and said, "Er…I'll take that as a yes. Now, what will you give up in exchange?" Douglas looked around, and approached the staff. He took it in his hand, and chucked it to the other side of the platform they were on. "I think that's a yes…" the voice said.
Lisa now stepped forward, chose the bow and arrows, and gave up the sword. Emily chose the staff, gave up the long curved sword, and Peggy chose the long curved sword and gave up the bow and arrows.
After they had finished choosing, the stones disappeared, and the floor shattered. "MOMMMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY I DON'T WANNAAAAA DIEEEEEEEE!" Douglas screamed. They landed on the platform with the portrait of Cinderella on it. "You okay?" Isuzu shouted from above. "Yeah…" Peggy answered. Suddenly, the weapons they had chosen appeared in their hands. "You have gained the power to fight." The voice said to them.
Lisa shot an arrow, missing Emily's head by an inch. Emily turned and looked at Lisa. "Er…sorry, Emily…" Lisa hesitantly said. She went and picked up her arrow, putting it back into her leather container. "All right! You've got it. Use this power to protect yourself and others." The voice boomed. Suddenly, small black creatures appeared, attacking all four of the group.
Douglas, of course, had had too much scare, and fainted. Peggy knocked him with the flat of her blade. All of a sudden, Emily started to fight the creatures, knocking them all out. "Whoa…you're good!" Lisa said. "That wasn't me, though!" Emily protested. "I just started whacking those ugly little things…"
"This is fun!" Isuzu exclaimed from above. Emily looked at her slowly. "You…were controlling ME!" Emily shouted the last part. "Well yeah, what else do I do?" Isuzu argued. "I DO have the controller, you know…" Emily shrugged. "Well, just don't do anything funny with me." She said hotly.
Just as Emily stopped talking, the voice started once again. "The closer you get to light…the greater your shadow becomes..."
The 4 of them looked back (Douglas just waking up), and saw their shadow rise and form into another one of those black creatures, this one much larger than the rest, towering above them. "But don't be afraid…don't forget…" the voice continued.
They ran to the side of the platform, almost falling off. All 4 had no choice but to face the ugly thing. This time, Lisa began to shoot arrows, Isuzu controlling her. Emily, Peggy, and Douglas fought the creature as well, on their own. After a few minutes, the creature fell down. A black pool appeared beneath the 4 friends. "But don't be afraid…you hold the mightiest weapon of all…" The quartet was being swallowed up rapidly…they were struggling to get out…escape…
"So don't forget: You are the one who will open the door…" the voice echoed and diminished slowly. Peggy flailed her arms around wildly…she was sinking into the darkness…and then all was dark.
