The Case of the Crazy Fangirls
By Lemon Zinger and Demon Shuriken
Summary: Holmes and Watson get a visit from two fangirls. Will Elzi and Shuri manage to make friends with the detective and doctor, or drive them crazy?
The rain pattered on the windows of our sitting room as I sat warmly wrapped in my dressing gown in front of the fire. Holmes was sitting opposite, lighting his pipe before he settled back to scan the latest editions.
"Anything interesting?" I asked, resting my eyes after a long week. It was my first day off in nearly a month due to a bad winter full of cases of pneumonia.
"Nothing. London is as dull as it is wet." Holmes muttered around his pipe.
I was suddenly aware of a lot of noise coming from below. I looked over at Holmes.
"Are you expecting company?" I asked. To my surprise he shook his head no and in several long strides was at the window.
"Well?"
"Watson, there are two young ladies outside, and they are dressed in pants and shirts." Holmes said.
"What?" I asked looking up and rising.
Mrs. Hudson entered, looking thoroughly ruffled. "Mr. Holmes two… women are here to see you."
"We're ladies, don't make us sound old!" Called a voice from downstairs.
"Well, come on up then." Holmes called.
There was rushed stomping on the stairs before two young females appeared, dressed in odd clothing. Both had on blue pants made out of material I somewhat recognized as denim. One had on a pretty blue sweater and the other had a shirt with some writing and and unknown person on it.
They seemed to stare at us, mouths agape, for several moments before Holmes finally spoke..
"Can I help you?" He came over to shake their hands, but they just stared at him.
"It's really them." One of them, who had long brown hair, whispered. "This really worked."
"Are you alright?" I asked, my instincts telling me that our singular guests were not just unusually dressed, but that something else was not right.
"Well… we're okay, I mean physically." The one with curly hair said. They took turns finishing one another's sentences, speaking breathlessly.
"Shaken by this whole experience, naturally,"
"But we're really glad to meet you. Finally."
"You are Doctor Watson right?"
The last question was directed at me, and I nodded a little dumbfounded.
"Yes, and I am Sherlock Holmes." Holmes answered. He too, looked a little wary.
"Relax, we don't mean any harm. We're not armed."
"What are you doing here then?" Only later did I realize how silly the question was..
"We're… fans." The one with long hair said, after they exchanged a look. "Of the stories."
"But-" The other started, but was interrupted by her companion.
"Should we tell them?"
"We owe them some explanation."
"You better tell us something." Holmes growled.
"We're… not from around here."
"America, actually."
"I'm Shuri.." The one with curly hair said.
"And I'm Elzi." The other said.
"Those are peculiar names." Holmes said cautiously.
"Well, we are from the 21st Century."
