The Companion Files: Dani and Ali mission one; part one
It began much like any other day. Jr. Companion Daniel-ica refused to wake up. Not phased in the least Jr. Companion-in-training Ali ripped the sheets off her slumbering master/sister. The thing was, Dani refused to let go of the sheets. So in the end Ali dragged her resolutely slumbering sister off the bed and down the hall to the kitchen by way of the sheets she was still clinging to. When that didn't wake Dani Ali shot her with the spray bottle kept on the counter for extra slow mornings. Dani awoke in an explosion of noise and flying fists, convinced that she was under attack from Great Potato knows what.
"Back off you singing geese! You can't have my pot roast and I will bite your nose!"
"Morning!" Alex said cheerfully. Unlike Dani, she had no troubles waking up. Dani shook the water out if her short brown-ish blond-ish hair and attempted to rub the sleep from her sometimes gray, green, or blue eyes, which gave her an overall eccentric and changing look.
"Morning my ass!" Dani grumbled as she stalked over to the fridge in search of food. Alex helpfully handed her a plate of toast and eggs, trying to keep her away from her favorite weapons, artichokes, for as long as possible.
Being Dani's younger sister, most people would expect Ali to be the shorter of the two, but much to Dani's dismay, they were both about five four. For a while Dani had tried desperately to stop Ali's steady growth, she had thrown her into a trash compactor, tied bricks to her head, and taped her to the ceiling (Only Dani could fathom why duct taping someone to the ceiling could stop growth, and she's not telling) all to no avail. So eventually she had just given up on the entire thing, but not after Ali had spent the better part of a month on the ceiling. The similarities did not end with height either. Ali had more chocolate-y brown hair, which at the moment she was keeping short, and wintery blue eyes. All in all, Ali seemed to be the less unsure of the two. She had an eye color that didn't change with each new shirt, and her hair knew that it was brown.
"What training do you have planned for today?" Ali asked while Dani munched on her breakfast.
"Well first we will have a little target practice, then we will be conducting a reflex test, and then if we have time we will have another cross-town shootout." Dani said, cheering at the prospect of all the fun planned for the day. Ali however, was less than pleased. The last cross-town shootout had been decidedly not fun. And for good reason. Being pelted by artichokes for hours on end was both painful and humiliating. Then again, that was the last thing planned, so maybe Dani would forget.
By now Dani had finished her late breakfast and was rummaging through the fridge, looking for her artichokes. Ali hopped back to her bedroom to get her favorite weapon, a 'Spud Launcher' as she fondly called it, but more commonly known as a potato rocket.
They trooped outside and stood poised in the small hedged in front lawn, waiting for a target to walk by. You see, to most people pedestrians and neighbors are just that. To a companion, they are target practice.
"AAH! THIS IS SUCH A SLOW MORNING!!!" Ali shouted, losing interest when no one walked by.
"Well Ali, it's Sunday. What do you expect! Don't worry, things will pick up when church lets out." Dani said confidently.
Ali cackled evilly, taking up her post with renewed interest, eyeing the church that was conveniently located across the street.
Not long after, the church doors swung open, and people rushed frantically to their cars, being very familiar with the habits of the Jr. Companions. Dani launched the first volley of a seemingly inexhaustible supply of artichokes. Ali aimed her spud launcher, taking out her first target.
Almost fifteen minuets later, Dani took the results of today's practice. They were as follows: 12 minor injuries, 15 unconscious, a stunned herring, and a terrified priest. Not bad, Ali's aim was improving.
"Now for some reflex tests!" Dani shouted, grabbing Ali and throwing her at a Daffodil truck barreling down the street. Ali flipped mid flight and landed on the windshield. On a whim, she glomped it, and then stared to lick it. The driver was so startled he drove the truck into the front window of a nearby home. Ali, of course, used her Jedi powers to jump off the windshield just before the explosion. She ran up to Dani, striking a victorious pose, only to be hit by an artichoke.
"Lets get a snack." Dani said as Ali rubbed the lump growing on her forehead. So they went inside, Ali grabbing a snickers and Dani grabbing a bottle of Salsa.
Dani battled the salsa jar for a bit, concentrating all her strength, comparable to that of a jellybean as Agent Anita once kindly put it, on the lid of the stubborn jar. After about fifteen minuets of her fruitless struggle Ali had had enough and popped it open for her in a matter of seconds. Even though she was mad at Dani, it was still painful to watch her older sister loose a fight with a bottle of salsa.
"You shouldn't eat so much salt. Salsa isn't a snack." Ali said primly, trying to pay Dani back for throwing that last artichoke at her, and remind her that opening the jar was an act of charity, not forgiveness.
"You're right." Dani said, "IT'S A MEAL!!!!" and with that she threw another artichoke at Ali. The Snickers was knocked out of her hand, and landed in the other room with a splash.
"NOOOO!!!" Ali screamed rushing into the bathroom after it. Dani followed calmly, only to see Ali with her head in the toilet, searching for her snickers.
"Ali get your head out of the toilet, it's not becoming." Dani said, hoping that Ali wouldn't listen to, or couldn't her the warning.
When only bubbles let the toilet, Dani gleefully flushed it. Only, instead of Ali yelling because the Snickers was gone, they both got sucked in.
Hey! This is my first Fanfic, so I really would like it if you could tell me what you think...nicely. Other than that,
