A/N: Alright, ladies and gentlemen! The Wishmaker Project is officially underway! This is just something random that came to mind after watching the movie 'Big'. I'll let you know, humor is far from my main genre of writing, as my readers should know XD, but I'll try my best to make this 'humorous'. Don't forget to leave reviews! This is in no way related to my other stories. This may or may not be continued depending on responses.
The Wishmaker ProjectChapter 1
Prologue: So You Wish It, So Shall It Be
He couldn't believe they managed to drag him here. A carnival, of all things! It wasn't that Kiyomaro didn't enjoy having fun, he just disliked carnivals. Especially the annoying, overly tall beings with bright red hair known as...
Clowns…Kiyomaro thought to himself with a shudder. He knew they were around; he had to be careful to avoid them.
"Unu, Kiyomaro!" Gash whined impatiently. Kiyomaro looked down at the demon; who now held a yellow balloon animal in the shape of a giraffe in his hand. "Look, Kiyomaro! It's a long necked horse!" Animal Balloons meant clowns. Kiyomaro shuddered slightly.
"It's called a Giraffe, Gash!" Tio said matter-of-factly, her arms crossed. "And they're not horses, everyone knows they're dinosaurs!"
Dinosaurs? Come on, Tio, you're supposed to be the smart one. Kiyomaro thought to himself. He wouldn't dare say it to the pink haired Demon; after all, he needed his head attached to his neck, and knowing Tio, she'd rip it off at the mention of any sort of insult. He was about to open his mouth to correct the two when Megumi's voice beat him to it.
"No, I thought they were Camels…" Megumi said thoughtfully.
"Actually, their closest relation is a Camel." Kiyomaro stated absentmindedly. "But they have their own family; I think it's Giraffidae…"
"Told you it was a horse! Everyone knows camel are horses!" Gash said to Tio.
"Are not! Didn't you hear Kiyomaro? They're Giraff─" Tio tried. She tried pronouncing it again before looking to Kiyomaro, aggravated. "What was it again?"
"Never mind, it's not important. A giraffe is a giraffe," Kiyomaro said uncomfortably. "Let's just go…" He started walking when something red and fluffy caught his eye.
To his left, a child was waiting impatiently for a clown with big red hair to make an animal balloon. Kiyomaro looked away quickly, steadily getting nervous. It's a man in a suit. It's a man in a suit. He repeated to himself. It helped a little, but never for long. Ever since seeing a movie about a homicidal clown at a young age, he was scarred for life.
"You alright, Kiyomaro?" Megumi asked as if sensing his nervousness. "You tensed up suddenly."
"Y-yeah! Of course!" Kiyomaro said. "Let's go over there," Scared of clowns and yet I face a Demon like walk in the park. He thought bitterly to himself. How pathetic can I get?
"Hey, Megumi! It's a wish-maker!" Tio exclaimed, pointing to a booth where an old, crooked woman sat with a crystal ball and a deck of cards before her. Kiyomaro rolled his eyes.
A wish-maker? Please! They don't actually believe in that! He thought incredulously.
"Megumi, let's go make a wish!" Tio continued.
"Alright, alright. You don't mind, do you, Kiyomaro?" Megumi asked.
Kiyomaro sighed and walked toward them. At least it was away from the clown. That was really all he was concerned about. He looked at the old woman as he stopped behind Gash. Her hair was white and tied in a tight bun behind her head. She wore an extravagant headpiece, and a dress to match, and had way too much jewelry on for one person. A sign atop the booth read "Wish Granter".
"I think she's busy," Kiyomaro said uncomfortably, watching her sift through her deck of cards.
"Not at all, boy," The woman said, not looking up from her cards. "Please, leave the money and make your wish. It will be granted."
"Kiyomaro! I want to make a wish!" Gash said with excitement.
"A wish? What do you want to wish for?" Kiyomaro asked. He watched the Demon consider it for several moments before looking at Megumi. Gash moved to Tio and whispered in her ear.
"Why would you want to wish something so dumb?" Tio asked.
"Well don't you want to as well?"
Tio went silent. "See! You wish for it too!" Gash continued. They looked at each other for a moment in silence.
"Alright!" They said. Their book owners placed the money on the table "We wish we could change places with our partners," They stated at the same time. The humans looked at them with surprise. Change places? Why?
"Does the other party oblige?" The woman asked. They looked at each other and smiled. Why not play into their little fantasy?
"Yeah," They said in unison and they placed the money on the table.
"So you wish it, so shall it be," She said, waving her hand in front of them.
A/N: A few things: I don't know if Kiyomaro is really afraid of clowns, but I thought it would be a fun little tidbit to add. Most of you should know what the mentioned 'homicidal clown movie' is. Cookies if you name it in your review, which I hope you won't forget to make!
