Well I noticed there weren't many stories for Stand By Me so I decided to contribute to the few writers who have made stories.
First chapter, baseline for the characters, unfortunately no Ace in this one, however he will be in the second one I can assure you!
All characters of Stand By Me belong to their rightful owners.
The characters of Alice, Abbii, Mizzy, Jane and Jessie (Along with old man Jones) belong to moi.
R&R!

"Hey I said beat it!" The angered man ran down his porch a double barrelled shotgun tightly clasped in his hands, in the near distance a group of teen kids could be seen running into the corn fields. One of the group was me. My name is Abbii Higgins; I'm an 18 year old high school dropout who resides in the small town of Castle Rock. I moved here around 2 months ago but decided to hang around on the outskirts of the town, staying away from the town centre. I had made some friends in the short amount of time that I had been here.
Mizzy was by far my best friend; she was a year younger than me, she had dark brown almost black hair, the fringe was a full block cut and the length of her hair reached just to her shoulders, her skin was a dark honey colour and her eyes were the darkest brown. She was a little on the short side but it made her extremely cute looking, she was a little pixie but she was a devilish one. We'd been inseparable from the moment we met and we had caused an endless amount of trouble since, especially to old man Jones, who lived in the corn field up the way.
However I and Mizzy seemed to have begun a small gang, consisting of identical twins; Jane and Jessie. They obviously both looked the same however the only thing that defined them, was their hair length; Jessie had hair down to her breasts and a fringe that swept to the right however Jane always had her hair up in either a bun or pony tail, and her fringe was also swept to the side. They both had the same light blue eyes and pink lips; they were in the middle of me and Mizzy for size. They were small but not pixie size. They were balls of mischief and always came up with ideas to disrupt the peace.

And then there was me, it's kind of hard to explain what you look like but I'll give it a go. Well I have blonde hair which is almost white; parted slightly on the left side, it reached to my belly button. I was quite tall at the height of 5'8" but had a thin body with curves in all the right places.

We ran through the fields hearing a gunshot directed to the air however we all ducked none the less, we stopped suddenly and all fell to our knees. We all looked to each other panting slightly; I looked to the muddy ground focusing my ears on the surrounding noises. We waited for a few seconds and just when we thought it was safe to move a bark echoed through the fields. "When did he get a dog?" Jessie harshly whispered her fear of dogs showing in the darkness of her eyes, Jane was quick to grab her hand and give it a reassuring squeeze. When we heard another bark I quickly deduced there was more than one dog. "Shit! We need to run now!" We all jumped up and quickly began running for the fences, as we skidded into them I swiftly gave a foot up for everyone. Looking round I caught the dogs jumping from the fields, it was a quick dash for them and they'd be at my feet. "Quick!" I yelled to Mizzy who was having trouble getting over, in a last ditched attempt I yelled an apology and shoved her up, with a tumble she fell over the side and into the arms of Jane and Jessie. Wasting no time I grabbed at the railings and jumped up, without a second to spare I hurled myself over just in time. The dogs attempted jumping over and digging under, bearing their sharp fangs and claws.

"That was too close." Mizzy had concluded and sighed wiping the mud from her butt, I was also doing the same and rubbing it because it was sore. "Guess we're not going to be fucking with old man Jones anymore…" We all sighed now that our main activity had been chased up the tree. We continued walking as the day had turned to early night, our route was still a long walk but we didn't mind walking it. Our first stop was for the twins, they lived on a respectable street; High Knights way. We waved them off as they went into their white picketed home; they were greeted by their mother who told them off somewhat. The next stop was for Mizzy, she lived on a street which was as people would say middle class, and it had families who had their troubles but nothing big; Mayway walk. I gave her a hug before she left and waved her off. Then I began my walk home. It was colder and darker now, but I didn't have that long to walk. However my street was a little more dangerous than the others, and named rightly so; Hella way. The street was darker than the others mostly due to the vandals who decided to smash the lights, the street was covered with litter and the houses were small and dark.

I shoved my hands in my pockets and continued to walk towards the end of the street, my house was in view and I quickened my pace a little, not that I wanted to get home, there was no one waiting for me. Pushing the whitish picket fence out of the way I groaned as it fell off its hinges and fell to the ground, I didn't bother trying to fix it and walked up the squeaky porch steps and took a tile from the house off to reveal a key. Taking it out and replacing the tile I opened the creaky door and walked in closing it behind me, I flicked the light on and it illuminated the dingy house. I sighed as I walked up the steps not being bothered to check my house, throwing my door open to my bedroom I wasted no time in throwing myself on the bed and drifting off to sleep.

The next day I woke to a succession of yells and bangs from next door; I rolled over wiping the dribble from my chin off and swung round planting my feet on the cold ground. I still had my clothes on from last night and my pants had gone hard with the mud on the butt area, I heaved a heavy sigh and decided I'd better get cleaned up. Standing up I proceeded in taking my muddy acid washed jeans off and throwing them in a corner, I then headed to my bathroom situated on the other side of the house. I was clad in only my long white t-shirt a black hoody and my black panties.

Entering the bathroom I was a little disgusted at how bad it looked, there were dirty towels and underwear on the floor along with half clean clothes hanging over the side of the bath. I shook my head and closed the door behind me, walking quickly over to my small sink I picked the razor from the side and walked over to the bath; picking up some cleanish looking towels, they'd have to do for now. I stripped down to nothing and jumped into the bath, I knew I didn't have long to shower in hot water so I made it quick. Having skill in showering quickly gave me just enough time before the shower started spurting cold water, I turned it off and grabbed the towels, wrapping one around my small body and the other on my head. I continued my daily morning routine, listening to the arguing neighbours, I made sure to brush my teeth and hair before finding some clean clothes and throwing them on. I found some high waisted acid washed shorts and threw them on, I also managed to find an acid washed denim shirt, I was long enough to almost cover my shorts.

Scavenging my own house for food was depressing, knowing I couldn't even feed myself sufficiently was annoying. I had no money and no job to fund my life. I was a poor excuse for a human being. Having to leave my house with a hungry tummy didn't exactly brighten my day, and neither did my converse which I only just noticed as I was putting them on that they'd need repairing…again. Walking down my street in the day time was a lot safer, however it was a dangerous street no matter what time of day it was, which is why my pace was the same as last night. I was heading to the usual meeting spot for the group, the broken light.

As I made my way I soon saw them in the distance, Jessie and Jane or as I liked to called them J J much to their dismay were clad in red and white polka dot summer skirts with white frilly blouses, which was unusual for them, and Mizzy was dressed up in an off the shoulder loose shirt and longer shorts than me, which was also a little unusual. Upon reaching them I greeted them with smiles. "What's with the up do chicks?" They all looked at each other and then down at themselves. "Mum made us wear it; she said it was a nice day…" Jessie started and Jane carried on. "And we better not get dirty or bother old man Jones again." Jessie and Jane shrugged their shoulders, I turned to Mizzy and she motioned to them. "They asked me to wear something nice, so they didn't feel weird." I looked down to my shit half cleaned clothes, and this didn't make me feel shit at all…I shrugged my shoulders and looked to them. "So since old man Jones is out of our to do list today, what shall we do?" We looked to each other and all shrugged our shoulders. "Maybe we could hang out at mine?" We looked to Mizzy and nodded our heads.

Mizzys' mum had let us hang around in their huge back garden, there was a huge tree house in the fields behind her garden that belonged to them, however she'd never told us about it. "Mizzy this place is awesome!" Jane started as we walked through the white picket fence. "Why didn't you tell us about it?" We looked to her as she shrugged her shoulders. "I thought you'd think it was stupid…" We all giggled lightly and quickly headed to the tree house, there was an area at the bottom of the tree which was flattened out. It would make an awesome camping area.

We spent most of the day just sitting at the base of the tree and talking about nothing in general. I had climbed up the tree house and looked inside; it was spacious and big enough to fit at least around ten people, it didn't have anything to sit on place anything but with some work it'd be an awesome place to hang out. I poked my head out of one of the 'windows' and called down. "Hey this'd be a pretty cool place to hang out; we should tidy it up a bit and add some things." They all nodded their heads and we agreed we should spruce it up…the rest of the day was spent doing the tree house and by the end it looked awesome. There were places to sit and we managed to make a few shelves to put things on. I was sitting back in one of the hammocks we'd made and looked around, Mizzy was laying on another hammock, Jane and Jessie were seated in some bean bags we'd stole from their brothers' bedroom. "Well I think this place looks pretty cool, we should hang around here from now on, what'd ya think?" We all agreed we'd hang around the tree house when we had nothing to do, but what were we supposed to do during the day, we couldn't just sit here all day. "Maybe we should go into town; it's not that far away. We could cut through your street Alice?" I shrugged my shoulders and nodded at Mizzys' idea. "Sure if you want."

We cut through my street as planned, however before we left Mizzy let me wash the clothes I was wearing, now I looked decent enough to be in public with the rest of the girls. When we got out of my street and into the town centre, the first place we headed to was a diner, Blue Point Diner to be specific. We walked in and looked around; the diner was bigger than it looked from the outside. There was a main bar where girls and boys were working delivering milkshakes and drinks to customers who were sitting at the bar, then there were other seats around the diner, some were open tables and others were booths half closed off to the middle of the diner. We chose to sit in one of the booths; we sat down and picked up the menus that had been dropped off by a roller skating girl with pig tails. "That could be you Alice!" Mizzy thought joking about my blonde hair, I scowled to her but we all continued laughing the joke off. After choosing what drinks we wanted we decided to explore the town more, so we got them to go. Jane and Jessie had strawberry and vanilla, Mizzy had toffee and I had a double chocolate with squirty cream.

Slurping out milkshakes we headed round the corner and looked for a place to hang out, Jane with her falcon eyes spotted a billiards bar across the road. "How about there?" She spoke with a mouth full of milkshake, we giggled at her and a blush spread across her cheeks. We walked over the road and wasted no time walking in getting away from the beating sun.

The billiards club wasn't as packed as the diner was; it was littered with some high school students and the odd old man who were just finishing their rounds from last night. As soon as you walked in the bar was to your left and took up the whole wall, the room was set out in two parts; the first part with the bar in it was mainly for adults, there were seats and tables around that part. The second part was further down the place, it was bigger than the drinking area and had booths much like the ones in the diner except these were older and wooden; there were two pool tables, some fruit machines and a juke box which was currently playing a song by The Human League; it was quiet enough but if you wanted to listen to it you could. We walked over to one of the booths and sat down drinking our milkshakes, and talking about music and random things. We hadn't realised how long we'd stayed until we noticed more people filling in, older men replaced the young high school students and soon the bar was full with happy old men.

Dadadadaaaaaaaa.
How fun was that? So remember stay tuned for the next chapter!~
