Magic's POV
As I came home from school I eagerly threw my backpack down and practically jumped into the roller computer chair. I quickly logged into to FanFiction, and checked my inbox. No messages. I sighed and checked the 39 Clues Archive, which was the only one I read the stories and wrote in. No new stories.
What was wrong with people? How can all the fanfictioners on the 39 Clues Archive not make a new story in an entire seven and a half hours? Of course, I knew about the loading time, but how come no one had made a new story eight hours before? Once again, I sighed. What were my options now? I could write a story, but I didn't feel like it. I checked my inbox again, and wasn't surprised when there wasn't any new messages. Then there was the Great Tails Union Chatzy. Only a couple of people came on, and when they did it was almost never at the same time. I had been with the GTU for almost three weeks, and had had a grand total of two conversations on the thing.
Checking the Chatzy was addicting though, but unlike many other times, when I did this time I was rewarded.
LucianGurl39 and AmyCahill555 were both on. Incredible. I felt like either doing a happy dance or getting a camera and taking a picture. I said hi, and although it was awkward at first, we soon had a carefree conversation. After a couple of hours, I had to go have dinner. I rushed through it, barely tasting the food and giving the smallest answers possible to my mom's questions about how my day went.
After what felt like forever, I finally finished my food, and was allowed to play on the computer again. But, to my disappointment, both Amy and LG39 (those were their names on the Chatzy) had left. I knew I probably never get to talk to them as much as I did, but I was happy getting to know them. When I checked the Archive again, there was three new stories. I happily read them, and left reviews that reflected my mood. Right as I finished my last review, my mom told me it was time for bed, and I went upstairs immediately, which was very unlike me.
The next couple of days fell into a routine. Get home from school, check Chatzy, check inbox, check Archive. We missed each other by mere minutes now, and I learned to stay on the Chatzy for a couple minutes, not just get on and get off. The third day was when we all came on at the same time.
Amy and LG39 and I were all happy to see each other again, and we had another pointless conversation. The rest of the week past in the same routine, except it usually stopped after 'check Chatzy'. There was always someone on now, and I met ABetterNinjaThanDanCahill and Omg-KITTENS in that time.
Most of the conversations we had went like this:
LG39: So hey!
omg-KITTENS: Hey people!
LG39: Omg! There are people on!
NinjaCahill: Hey! You guys there?
NinjaCahill: OMG!
Amy joined the chat
NinjaCahill: Hi!
LG39: wow 3 ppl!
omg-KITTENS: Oh my goshness hi!
LG39: 4
NinjaCahill: xD
Eventually we got over the fact that other people were actually on, and we had normal conversations. Normal for a bunch of girls, that is. It went well for another couple of weeks, and I got to know Ninja, LG, Amy, and Kittens better. Then all of Hades broke loose.
Percy Jackson reference... Anyways,
Weird idea, I know. Yes, I do have an idea of where this is going, so don't ask. Now, for the sole reason that Sanity Optional said "Who will give awesome brain teasers that may or may not explode my brain?" I will be doing brain teasers for this story.
I'll start you guys out easy. Here you go:
Trains travel from London to Southampton all through the day, always on the same track, always going nonstop, and at the same speed. The two P.M. train took eighty minutes to complete the trip, but the four P.M. train took an hour and twenty minutes.
Why?
I have everyone who's in this 'okay' to include them, just so you know. Also, I know everyone who is in this pretty well, so everything they 'say' on the Chatzy is actually pretty accurate. Some of them even helped me keep them more IC.
Sincerely,
~Magic~
P.S. Fangirl reviews are appreciated, CC encouraged, and flames will be used to roast marshmallows for Ninja, LG, Amy, and Kittens since I gave up desserts for Lent.
