First Homestuck fanfiction, guys! I deserve an award! Not.

This fanfiction will be loosely based off "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by L. Frank Baum. However, things will be different from the original plot and this will definitely be a lot longer than the original story.

Enjoy!

The sun shines down on a Pacific Island. Everything seems calm, and a slight breeze is cooling everything down. The trees in the forest sway with the breeze, whispering secrets that no one knows and will ever know. A white tower gleams in the sunlight, towering over the forest but still a midget compared to the volcano a few miles away, and it is in there the adventure starts.

"Shit, there's a mistake here!"

Tanned fingers flew over a holographic keyboard as a thirteen-year-old girl scrambled to correct a mistake she had found in her coding. A white dog sat next to the girl dressed in a bright green dress and a white apron, staring intently at the screen as if he was searching for more mistakes that his owner had made.

"And... done!" Jade Harley grinned as she scrolled down the page, happily noting that no more mistakes were in the system. "I finally re-coded this thing, Bec!"

"Arf!"

"Yeah, I know, it was a total waste of time, but it was worth it!" Jade retorted to the indignant barking.

"Arf arf!"

"What? You want to eat again?! Becquerel, you just had your lunch!"

Bec looked slightly disappointed, but laid down next to Jade, indicating that he didn't want to fight.

"Oh, fine. Here you go!" Jade shook her head, smiling, as she un-captchalogued an irradiated steak and set it next to Bec.

Happy barking was heard from Jade's right as Bec wolfed down his lunch.

Jade quickly went over the program one last time as a last check.

"Should I start playing this, Bec?"

The game in question was in a CD that Jade had found upon exploring the frog temple that was East of the tower she called home. Becquerel had finally let her in the temple a few months ago (before that she would be teleported far away from it) and she had found the CD packet lying on the ground at the bottom-most floor. The paper was mouldy and kind of damp, but the disc itself was fine. Jade had picked up the CD and tried to install it on her lunchtop, but she found that some parts of the game were not working properly (if you even considered a blank black screen on a desktop as working). She had spent three months on this game, and now she wanted to play it.

However, she was uneasy about playing it. She didn't have the instructions for the game or anything! What if something went wrong?

Well, she just had to cross her fingers and hope for the best.

Without waiting for her dog's answer, Jade clicked the SBURB icon twice, leaned back into a cushion, and waited.

A downloading screen with spirographs appeared. Jade smiled to herself, satisfied that her programming had worked. It had actually worked!

Then, the screen went black.

"What the heck?" The girl furrowed her eyebrows as she leaned into the screen, then jumped back as neon green numbers suddenly popped up right in front of her eyes.

"What's with the countdown? Is this like torrent or something?" Jade questioned herself, then looked at Bec for an answer.

Bec did something that seemed vaguely like he was shrugging his shoulders. The girl groaned in frustration at her inability to understand her pet's answers to her questions - this, however, only happened very rarely.

"Can I at least open other things while this thing finishes counting down to , I don't know, the game itself?" Jade mumbled as she moved the countdown window to another holographic screen. She then proceeded to tap into a News program that had appeared on television.

"Breaking news," came the announcement. "Scientists have recently discovered multiple meteorites heading towards Earth. They say that there is a good chance that some meteorites will miss the planet altogether, but some will land in the ocean and most of them will land on an uninhibited island in the Pacific. Flights that are flying over that area are already cancelled for the next few days as - "

Wait, what?

Jade's eyes widened in shock as she opened up her web browser (Echidna, one of the best!) and searched the keyword "meteorites". She quickly clicked on a page that showed her where the hotspots were.

Shit.

Shit, shit, shit.

"Oh, no, Bec! What have I done?" Jade covered her temples with her hands as she glanced at the countdown to her left.

"It seems that the meteorites just... appeared out of nowhere!" A male voice broke into Jade's thoughts. "We don not know how this could have happened, but -"

"Oh, shut your mouth, Carlos!" Jade growled as she quickly noticed that the scientist speaking was one of her favourites. Now, however, she simply could not care. Jade closed the window on the talking scientist as she glanced at the countdown again.

Jade felt that slowly but surely, the temperature on her island was starting to rise.

"Well, I guess it couldn't hurt to go out and take a look, right Bec? Could be the last time we see this island anyway," Jade sighed. Pushing the lunchtop away, Jade moved so that there was no chance that she would hit the table that had been above her. She stood up and started walking towards the staircase in her room, mentally preparing for whatever she would see when she reached ground level. Hey, for all you know, everything could just be normal! Everything could be just a dream!

It definitely was not a dream. If it was, then it was a shitty one. Jade reached the second last floor with Bec behind her, grumbling about how she really needed to remake her transporters to withstand extreme heat, or at least repair them as soon as possible.

Well, if she ever got the chance.

The teenager walked out of the tower and clenched her eyes shut at the sudden brightness (wow, she really needed to fix the lighting on the first floor as well). However, her glasses immediately darkened and Jade was able to open her eyes in a few seconds. She decided to look up.

Meteorites.

Heading straight for her house.

HER HOUSE?!

Jade let out a scream as she saw the path of the meteorites clearly, making Bec jump and whimper in surprise.

"Oh, sorry Bec!" Jade quickly bent down to pet her dog and stroke his back. "Let's get back inside, now. Or should we evacuate?"

Becquerel seemed to shake his head when he heard the second suggestion.

"Bec, we will die if we don't get out of here! Those meteorites will kill us! We could just , I don't know, run to the frog temple, there's a chance we might survive!"

More shaking of his head.

"Becquerel Harley!"

"Grr..."

Jade sighed. "Fine, but if we die I'm so going to make you pay in the afterlife."

Bec motioned to Jade as if to say that he wouldn't really care.

"Bec, sometimes, you are insufferable! How did I deal with you for the last thirteen years?!" Jade shook her head as she resumed petting Bec. "Yes, Bec. For my own good."

00: 02: 31: 40_

"What am I going to do?"

Jade was back in her room, glancing occasionally at the countdown and at the news program that she had pulled up again. The program was now going on about some people winning something at some sport, and honestly, she could not really care about it. What was the fun in sports, anyway? Jade mused. Isn't competition between people bad?

Draw something?

Nah, she was horrible at that.

See to her plants?

Nope. She checked on them on the way up!

Sleep?

No. She had slept for fourteen hours straight the day before, and she was now wide awake anyway.

Jade ruffled her hair in frustration as Bec slept peacefully next to her.

"All cruise ships in the Pacific area are to quickly dock at the nearest country possible. Scientists say that the speed and the force of the meteorites would be enough to destroy an entire island and there will be tidal waves created. Locals in the Pacific Islands are now being moved to another country where they will be safe until the tidal waves..."

"This sounds bad, Becquerel. Really, really bad. We're going to die!" Jade yelped. "Oh wait, you're sleeping. Seriously?"

Jade slowly felt her eyes closing.

"Well, now that I think about it, it does seem like a good idea..."

00: 01: 00: 00_

She was dreaming. She knew this because she could not feel anything. She was walking down a golden road with three other people. They looked vaguely familiar, but how? She had lived alone on an island ever since she was born!

Walking, walking, walking. Then, suddenly, she was in a forest. A flash of bright green, and she was gunning down grey-skinned humans with cool-coloured blood. A flash of bright green, then a boy kissing her hand. A flash of green and then white humanoids with black eyes surrounded her with music playing in the golden background. Another flash of green, and a dark green monster wearing something that was flashing appeared in front of her.

Jade screamed, then woke up.

D : H : M : S

00: 00: 04: 13_

"Huh? What time is it?"

"Arf!"

"Oh, hey Bec- FOUR MINUTES LEFT?!" Jade shrieked. "Sorry, Bec."

A disgruntled look from Bec told Jade that the apology was not good enough for his own liking.

"Fine, you fatty," the girl mumbled, grabbing the cookerlizer above her head. Throwing in a steak, she sat and waited for the cookerlizer to finish irradiating the steak.

D : H : M : S

00: 00: 01: 05_

"To be honest, Bec, dying doesn't seem like such a bad idea after all," Jade commented somewhat casually, taking out the steak and tossing it to Bec. "Good dog, best friend!"

Bec finished the steak, then sat up and looked at his owner as if she was crazy.

"I know, I know. I'm just being positive about this, or at least I am trying to - oh God, it is so hot!" Jade stood up, banging her head on the bottom of the table in the process. "Ow!"

Rolling over to the wall on her right, Jade mentally cursed herself for being in such a bad place. Upon reaching the wall, she stood up and looked out of the only window.

"This is bad."

The view before her showed that everything was now tinted red, and it looked like smaller meteorites had smashed in the forest a few miles away, if the fire was anything to go by. Jade saw flaming rocks in the distance, heading towards her island.

An especially unpleasant landing make the house shake.

"Oh my god. Bec. You have to see this." Jade picked up her dog and set him on the windowsill. Bec, however, did not seem to like it, if jumping down from the windowsill and pushing her down to the floor was anything to go by.

"How many more minutes?"

D : H : M : S

00: 00: 00: 05_

"Oh, no!"

"Arf!"

D : H : M : S

00: 00: 00: 04_

"This is the end for us, isn't it, Bec?"

D : H : M : S

00: 00: 00: 03_

Bec seemed calm. Jade was freaking out.

D : H : M : S

00: 00: 00: 02_

"It was nice knowing this place, Bec," Jade said, leaning down on Becquerel's back.

"Woof!"

D : H : M : S

00: 00: 00: 01_

The countdown screen started to blink rapidly.

D : H : M : S

00: 00: 00: 00_

Meteorites fell on Jade Harley's home, and suddenly all went black.
