Author's Note/ Disclaimer: Nope, don't own Animorphs. Not mine. Actually, I
never even really intended on posting this, but I'm bored, so I figured I
might as well put it up. Yeah, I'm aware that it's probably a Mary Sue, so
don't take this seriously. Flames will be laughed at, 'cause no one said
you have to read it. If ya do, though, you know you wanna review. ^_^ More
chappies will probably come soon.
Prologue
Dani sat in the window seat of her room. She had had to fight her younger brother bitterly for this room when they first moved in a few weeks ago, but she had gotten it. Nothing could keep her from a window seat. A true window seat, that is, the kind that had a sitting place right next to the window, so she could lay her head against the glass. And that was what she happened to be doing right then. Her knees were half-drawn to her chest, her black laptop propped up against them. A Word document was open on the screens, showing what she had once called an Inuyasha fanfic. She would probably end up deleting it tonight. She didn't like the way it was going. It seemed she never liked the way her stories ended up going. She'd delete them all, if Bri would let her. She smiled at that.
Bri was her best friend, in some ways her complete opposite, and in other ways her twin. One thing they shared was a love for writing. Bri seemed to have this thing about deleting stories, however. No matter how long they sat there, growing dust, Bri would never delete them, even if she knew she'd never write in them again. It made her computer slow as hell, but, hey, it wasn't Dani's problem. She didn't have to attempt to surf the 'net on a backed-up computer.
But it wasn't the stories Dani was thinking of now. Or maybe, in a way it was. She had the house alone for the time being, so she was occupying herself by staring out her window and the stars and thinking vast, profound thoughts. Or, at least, attempting to think vast profound thoughts. She didn't really think she was succeeding. Her mind kept flashing scenes of the things her stories were based off: books, movies, TV shows, animes..The usual. And, though she didn't really obsess over it as much as her best friend did, she still couldn't help but wonder what it would be like..Greenish blue eyes caught the motion of a shooting star and, before she could stop herself, she thought, I wish for a new life...
*****
About fifteen minutes away, Bri was sitting on a tree branch over looking the pool in her backyard. Her legs dangled over the edge of the branch but were really too short to reach the ground. A small wooden platform, less than two feet all around, was fixed to the branch to her side. A few books were scattered across it, 'Narcissus in Chains' by Laurell Hamilton, and four or five Animorphs books. One of the Animorph books was lying open, marking the girl's place. A flashlight was in her hand, giving a clue as to what she had been doing. The flashlight was clicked off, though, and she was staring up at the night sky.
Her contact lavender eyes scanned the sky, locating the constellation of Orion, and her lips tugged slightly in a small version of a smile. For some reason, she felt better when she saw it. She called it her constellation, but she didn't really know why she liked Orion. But it didn't really matter. She was really only thinking about it so that she wouldn't think of other things. Like how much she'd rather be somewhere else. By all appearances, she was a normal girl. Lived with her parents, younger brother and sister, got good grades, played the piano and guitar, loved animals..But she wanted something more out of life than just boring routine. She wanted to do something with her life, to accomplish something meaningful. So when she died, she wouldn't feel as if her life had been a waste.
She shook her head, trying to force herself away from those thoughts. She thought them whenever she had a moment to be alone.And she hated it. No matter how much she wanted it, nothing was going to change. It was rather pointless dwelling on dreams that couldn't come true. She glanced over at the Animorph book and grinned. She had been considering writing a fanfic.Her best friend would kill her if she did, though. Dani had always hated that book series.Said she could never get into them, didn't like the alien plot line, or something like that. Whatever. Sometimes her best friend could be closed-minded when it came to trying things. It always took her forever to convince Dani to try and do something.
Bri was just about to pick up her book and start reading again when something made her turn her head towards the sky. She wasn't sure exactly what it was, but she suddenly had a need to look up, to see the stars. Her eyes flicked upward just in time, as a shooting star shot by right overhead. Bri smiled softly and made her wish. I wish to be in another world.something like the Animorph realm.. She thought, although really she would be happy in any of the worlds that her favorite stories took place in. But, Animorphs was on her mind, and so it was Animorphs she thought of. With that, she gathered her books and started back inside. If she wanted to get any sleep before school she had better do it now.
