Hello and welcome to the first chapter of 'What the hell happened to my living room'. This is an OC insert story and will hopefully not be a direct copy of the film/s.
This story is a group effort but is primarily written by me (Diamond1502) with the other two (EstelleK and HarmonyB) sometimes supplying ideas for the humour sections - a prime example is the Megatron conversation which was based off a real conversation we had about him.
Yes, this had been posted up before but I took it down and edited it a bit since Mr Mystery guy was no longer needed (AKA I had no bloody idea what we were going to do with him)
Just a little warning there will be language. I mean they're teenage girls I'm pretty sure with all of the stuff that will be happening they will swear. It's not a major thing but I would recommend this as a 14+ kinda thing.
Okay now that that's over and done with please enjoy, the action doesn't start really until the next chapter so please just bear that in mind before thinking 'nuh-uh I'm not reading anymore of this it's boring as hell' just remember we all have to start out somewhere :)
What the hell happened to my living room!
Chapter 1: Well…this is new.
Location: Australia
Time: 2000 hours
A car pulled out of a driveway leaving 3 girls standing and waving at the quickly disappearing car. The tallest girl and oldest girl, who had recently turned 17 and got her driving licence, turned towards the two younger girls, both 15 years of age, with a huge smile on her face. "Well now that they're finally gone" she said referring to their parents who had just driven off to the local pub for a 'Dentist convention' which apparently just so happened to be coincidently held at the pub, "I suppose we should go in before we catch a cold and then we can have that fun we have planned to have for sooo long." Adelina Whitney said with excitement to her younger sister, Darcie, and their best friend, Kate Johnson, whose house they were currently at. The girls turned to enter the two story house.
Dark ominous clouds gathered in the sky covering anything bathed in the light from the moon and the sky itself in a large blanket of darkness, the wind started to pick up and rain started to fall. Kate looked up and the quickly advancing clouds and rain before shivering and closing the door, making sure multiple times that is was locked. She sighed and went to join her friends in her spacious living room. Adelina and Darcie, being the great sisters they were, were fighting over what movie they were going to watch first for the movie marathon they had planned. Kate watched for a few seconds before interrupting then, "How about you two go get the blankets and pillows and start building the fort while I pick a movie, since you two seem unable to do that, and get us some grub." Her British accent changing to the Scottish/Irish hybrid it usually changed to when she got somewhat pissed off. With many sarcastic 'yes mother's' and grumbling, Adelina and Darcie got up to scavenge for the many blankets and pillows located all over the house. Kate shook her head, she loved her friends, she had known them for about 5 years, and she smiled at the thought of that their friendship was able to survive those horrid first years as a teenager, when practically everything changes. She could still remember the day she first met Darcie.
Flashback
Kate arrived at her new school in Australia; she had just moved from England with her family, she was nervous about making friends, What if they didn't like her? What if they made fun of her accent? What if…. What if… The thoughts had been buzzing through her head constantly in her head as she followed her new principle into her new classroom. All heads had turned to face her, most with warm welcoming smiles, while others simply had a look that said they really didn't give a damn about the new kid. The group of popular girls immediately 'claimed' Kate, but rejected her soon after, after finding her too different for them. Kate had been sitting by herself at lunch; too shy to try and make friends. She had been considering feigning being ill so she could go home, that was until a somewhat energetic Darcie Whitney ran up and introduced herself. The action had startled Kate, but she went with it and found out that she and Darcie actually got along well.
Over the year, Kate's and Darcie's parents became friends and Darcie's sister started to become more involved with the girls, the girls soon became an inseparable force and made promises to each other that that was how it was going to stay.
End of Flashback
Kate zoned back into reality after hearing scuffling from upstairs, she guessed that the sisters were fighting over a blanket or pillow, hell, it was probably both. Every time they had a movie marathon night they would play a game of where the person to collect the most blankets and pillows for their fort got first dibs on the snacks. With Darcie and Adelina being siblings it often got very competitive.
Kate walked into the kitchen and grabbed a few huge bags of popcorn and emptied them into equally huge bowls, she then proceeded to grab a few bags of sweets from the fridge and empty them into 3 smaller bowls. She walked into the living room balancing the many bowls of sugary goodness in her arms, as soon as she stepped in she would have been tackled down by an over excited Darcie if Adelina hadn't of grabbed hold of her arms. In the centre of the room was a mountain of pillows and blankets. The next ten minutes was spent building a fort the Queen would be proud of.
Outside darker clouds gathered still and the first rumble of thunder could be heard roaring from the heavens and flashes of lightning shot across the sky, temporarily illuminating it.
Back inside the girls had settled down and were watching the first of many movies while munching on their sugary treats. Near the end of the first movie, The Mummy, the lights flickered on and off and a clash of thunder shook the house. Kate got up, leaving the other two to watch the movie, and went over to the family computer to check the weather radar. Once the page had loaded it was like the whole screen was covered in dark red with black spots, basically meaning that they were in form one hell of a storm. Unfortunately for Kate, the siblings and well everyone in the area, the largest black dot was directly on them. Thunder rattled the windows and doors while lightning lit the sky as if it was the sun merely for a second or two. Kate shouted at the siblings over the thunder to unplug everything. They groaned in unison; they had just started watching Transformers, with lots of exaggerated sighs they helped each other up and unplugged the TV and the other electrical appliance around it before dashing upstairs to unplug everything in the bedrooms while Kate did downstairs.
Kate pulled out the last power cord and watched the computer screen fade, taking the red and black splodges with it. She sighed and went to wait for Darcie and Adelina to re-appear at the bottom of the stairs, the siblings in question were currently arguing over who would win in a fight against each other, marshmallow man from Ghostbusters against Harry potter. Their debate continued as they walked down the stairs only to be disrupted by Kate.
"As much as that would be interesting to see, ya' made sure everything is unplugged upstairs?" Kate asked them, since the last thing she wanted was a bolt of lightning to hit the house and an electric fire starts.
"Or course we did, we wouldn't want out poor Katie's house to blow up." Darcie replied slick with sarcasm.
"Call me Katie once more and I swear I will call you Arsey. Am I clear?" She said completely serious while looking right into her eyes. Darcie bought her hand up to her forehead in a salute style while saying very seriously, "Yes ma'am!" They were silent for a few seconds before bursting out laughing.
The trio walked back into the living room hoping to find an alternative source of entertainment for the night, they walked through the door only to stop and stare at the TV. Kate turned towards Darcie and Adelina feeling a little unsure. "I thought you two unplugged the TV." Her eyes close to twitching.
"We did, I unplugged it with my own hands," Adelina responded her voice shaking a little, "Darcie, go over and check it will you."
Darcie, who had just been standing there mouth open and extremely confused, nodded and went to check behind the TV. A few seconds later her head popped back up; her face looking as if she had seen a ghost. "Err… guys, the TV is definitely unplugged, no doubt about it." Darcie said while pulling up two power cables, both clearly leading to the two appliances that had remained on despite lacking a power source. Adelina was the first to speak, though not very loud, "You don't think it'll play do you?" She asked, her voice almost a whisper.
"Well I guess there's only one way to find out." Kate said as she grabbed the DVD player remote. She pushed down the play button and jumped back in surprise as the movie on the TV continued to play.
"Holy shit! That is so creepy!" Darcie exclaimed, hopping from one foot to the other out of pure excitement. She then sat down in the fort and got comfy. "I don't know about you two, but I'm not passing up a free show no matter how creepy it is." She called out to the two girls who had just been standing there mouths open out of amazement and shock. Kate shrugged and went to join Darcie in the fort, Adelina followed suit a few seconds later.
Later
Time: 2330
"Have you guys ever thought about why Megatron is evil?" Kate suddenly asked when they got up to watching the part of the film where Megatron was shown frozen under Hoover dam.
"Not really" answered Adelina while Darcie shook her head.
"Well…. A few weeks ago I was drawing a doodle of him and I thought 'what a horrible looking face' and then I realised it. Megatron is like a ten thousand year old virgin." Kate explained with a huge grin on her face. Adelina smirked at the idea while Darcie outright laughed.
"S-so you mean … to say that old Megsy is evil just 'cause he c-can't get laid!" Darcie said while laughing so hard she looked as if she could pass out any second.
Kate shrugged, "Pretty much, I mean who would want to go near, let alone have sex, with someone who has a face only a mother could love?"
"I don't think even Megsy mum could even come close to loving that face." Darcie replied before catching her breath.
"So true." Adelina muttered, sending them all into a fit of laughter.
"Craaaappp! Now I really have to pee! I blame you Darcie!" Kate whined, she had just got into in the right position and she so was warm!
"What are you blaming me for? You were the one who bought it up!" Darcie whined back.
"Yeah, but now I have to move!" Kate grumbled.
"Just go and piss and if we're feeling generous we'll pause it for you before the battle of Mission city." Adelina sighed getting sick of trying to listen over the other two bickering.
Kate grumbled as she got up, internally swearing like a sailor when the cold air hit her warm skin. The walk down to the bathroom was uneventful, save the fact that the house shook from forces of Mother Nature outside. Kate relieved herself with much relief since the pressure on her bladder was gone; she washed her hands humming tunes to herself.
She heard her phone bleep from her room and went to check it out; she grabbed her phone off her bed and read the text from her parents.
Just checking if you girls are okay. Storms picking up a bit, so we won't be here for much longer. Love you lots, mum. Xxxxxxx
Kate sat down on her bed and replied.
We're okay, we'll see you soon. Love you too xxxxxxx
She then shoved her phone into the back pocket of the jeans she was wearing and returned to the living room and got comfy in the fort again and continued to watch the movie, which had indeed been paused before the battle of Mission city.
The girls continued to watch the movie, rewinding it when it neared the end; they didn't dare try to change the disk just in case their good luck ended and they were stuck without the TV. Before long all of them got heavy eyes and eventually each one of them dropped off asleep.
The storm outside raged on; an unstoppable force. The lightning strikes were becoming a constant thing, a few seconds between each strike while thunder rumbled. A bolt of electricity hit a field from across the street and set it ablaze, with minutes it was all burnt. Another bolt hit the top of the Johnson house, causing the TV and DVD player to blow up in sparks. Those sparks rained down onto the sleeping girls and set the blankets and pillows alight, the fire had no mercy and burnt anything and everything that was it its way. Lightning continued to strike down, causing the garden and other parts of the house to burn. Before long the house collapsed crushing everything underneath it.
Location: Unknown
Time: 0800 hours
Darcie was the first to wake up her eyes a little fuzzy from just waking up; she lifted her head from the pillow it had been buried in, she blinked a few times and sat up; ignoring her sore protesting muscles. The pain from her muscles convinced her that she wasn't in a dream or at least she was pretty sure it wasn't a dream. She leaned over and started tapping Kate on the arm.
"Kate…" Darcie slurred out, trying not to go back to sleep.
"What…." A muffled voice replied.
"I think I'm seeing things." Darcie said still slurring slightly.
"Why…" Kate replied while pulling a blanket over her head to go back to sleep, the blanket she had been pulling was the one Adelina had been using to cover her body, so a still asleep Adelina tugged the blanket back and shuffled into another bunch of blankets before murmuring something and proceeding to snore quietly without a care in the world.
"I dunno…. Maybe my mind is playing with me…. Nighty night…" Darcie then collapsed back onto her makeshift blanket bed, covered her head with a blanket and immediately fell asleep.
Kate, whose head had remained sandwiched between two pillows fell back into a light sleep. She was happily sleeping until she heard something snuffling, she ignored it and tried to get back to sleep. The snuffling got closer and Kate felt something moist and rough go across her face multiple times. She opened her eyes to see a small Chihuahua with a blue gem studded collar licking her face. She blinked before screaming and scooting across the floor to get away from the mutt. "Ew! Ew! EW!" She shrieked as she wiped her face trying to get the dog saliva off. She then looked up from the tiny barking dog; she blinked a few times, not fully registering what she was seeing. It took her a few seconds to process what she saw; needless to say she wasn't tired anymore.
"Holy shit…. What the hell happened to my living room?" She shouted alarmed. The tiny rodent of a dog took this as an invitation to bark even louder, essentially further waking up the siblings.
Darcie once again sat up groaning, she blinked a few times; waking herself up. She looked around at the unfamiliar room before muttering/groaning, "Damn, I thought this was some fucked up dream…"
Kate scoffed, "You can say that again."
I hope you enjoyed that. The next chapter will be out within the next few days since it had to be re-written.
Reviews would be nice, constructive criticism is even better and flames, as the other two like to put it, will be used to roast marshmallows. (To be honest I don't see what's so good about roasted marshmallows...)
