"Yamino…. I'm
just gonna go for a walk alright?"
"Just come back before
dinner."
"Of course!"
First mistake.
--
"Hi Verdandi! You're looking
lovely as usual."
"… Your buddy Thor doesn't think
that."
"Th-Thor?!"
--
Second mistake.
--
"We-well I'm sure he does… he
just doesn't say anything…because your beauty is breathtaking!"
"…Then how is it you're able to speak…Hm…?"
"Oh Verdandi you know that one."
"Oh yes… Of course
I do… Listen, I'm in a surprisingly good mood so I'm going to
play a game with you."
"Good mood…?"
--
Third Strike. You're out.
--
The next thing Loki
knew he was sitting next to a tree and he was very, very,
tired.
He glanced up groggily to see Verdandi still there only
her attire had changed and she was holding a book and reciting a
poem. The poem just went over the little boys head though.
His
own clothes were upsetting him. There were ruffles. And his pants
must have puffed up or something because his hands that were on his
lap were a good several inches higher then they should have been.
He
still had his bow… but it was smaller… and the collar of his top
only came to his shoulders.
Now if only he had the strength to
look down…
He tried to see and saw nothing but blue and sighed.
He was too tired…
Verdandi was still talking but to him it was coming out all meshed together as his senses were obviously leaving him…what was that furry thing curled up next to him? Was that Fenrir?
He shut his eyes for a moment and then shot right
up at the sound of a bell.
Was Verdandi screwing with him or
what?!
"Oh no…!"
Loki pushed himself up off the tree
and noticed Fenrir had launched up as well, quietly though…
(Obviously this couldn't be the real Fenrir.)
But what
shocked him the most was he saw Yamino running towards them.
Only…
he was small. Very small Yamino… About half of Loki's size
actually… And he did look kind of chubby…
"Oh my god…They
chibified Yamino…." Loki murmured before standing up and walking
towards his son- well, at least half way. Yamino was still running
towards them.
"Yamino- its okay, we'll fix this.
Alright, calm down." Loki started but was shocked when Yamino ran
past him and towards the bushes and trees that Loki knew had
not been there before!
"Yamino…?! Yamino where are you
going?!"
Loki started to run after his son and realizing what ever it was he was dressed in was rather hard to move in he finally decided to look down.
"……………………………………….."
He had to stop momentarily just so he wouldn't trip on
something.
Why was he in a blue and white maids dress?
"I'm late! I'm late! I'm late for the mail-order
convention!"
Fenrir chased after Yamino who was running off
with little white rabbit ears on his head and Loki felt his brain
virtually explode.
"I guess this means I have to follow him…" He murmured to himself before running after his two sons.
Less then a minute later Loki found himself falling through
the rabbit hole and so it began.
The quiet Fenrir stayed
behind.
Damn.
"woo…
pretty colors…" Loki murmured to himself while falling down the
hole.
"This scene really is too long-- Yamino!"
Loki thumped his head down onto the tile floor- that really shouldn't have been there that low beneath the ground- and watched as Yamino, his little white rabbit ran through one door.
Of
course, when Loki managed to get to his feet and open this one
door, there was another behind it.
And Another.
And
Another.
and-
"GOD DAMN IT! I BLAST YOU WITH LAEVATIN NOW!"
And so he did.
And through the many doors he went
while getting a bit of charcoal in his hair.
"Honestly… Verdandi must love this movie…" He sighed when he came out to the room with the odd colored walls and the door behind the curtain.
He walked up to the door and poked at the knob to find quite shockingly that it was pink.
"Don't twist my nose like that!" The
doorknob then looked shocked and its little pig like sounds came out
frantically. "Oh my god I'm talking! Wait. No. That's normal
here." Gullinbrusti said to himself before looking up at Loki.
"What do you want?"
Loki raised a brow and sat down on the
floor.
"I want to find my son who just ran through here."
"How can a girl your age have a son!?"
"…. Can you just
let me through?"
Gullinbrusti looked annoyed at having the
subject changed but sighed, "You can't fit through here. You're
too big!"
"Then how am I supposed to get through!?" Loki
shouted suddenly. Verdandi was gonna get it later.
"Well, you could try the potion on the table."
The table and
potion dropped out of nowhere and Loki walked up to it.
"Judging
by the fact Verdandi made this world I wouldn't be surprised if
this was poisoned… or worse… gave me boobs."
Gullinbrusti
raised a brow- Don't ask. "What was that?"
"Nothing…
Talking to myself… All sane people do it you know." Loki stated a
little louder before picking up the bottle and raising it to his
lips. "I have no other choice…" And he drank it.
"Maybe
I drank a little too much…" Loki squeaked when he realized how
small he had gotten…
"Well at least I'm the right size…"
The emerald eyed boy walked over to the door and sighed. "Can
I go through now?"
Gullinbrusti blinked and then burst out
laughing. "Oh! I forgot to tell you! I'm locked!"
Loki
narrowed his eyes and summoned his staff again. "You lock? I
blast."
The pigs eyes went wide and he shook his head as best a
doorknob could and glanced up at the table again.
"N-no! The key's right up there!"
Loki turned around and saw the
key materialize out of nowhere.
"That was not there before! And
I'm too small to reach it now you dumb ass!"
"Well you
could try the box…"
"You know… I'm really sick of
things just materializing out of nowhere… This can't be healthy."
Loki murmured as he thumbed around the box of cookies that had just
appeared before him.
He picked a cookie up and growled something
inaudible and wonderfully colorful under his breath before taking a
bite of it and growing incredibly large.
"And there is no more
of the shrinky potion left… right?" Loki hissed, kicking the
doorknob in the face.
Gullinbrusti squealed in annoyance and
pointed out the bottle again.
"Lovely…." The ginger haired
boy picked up the bottle again, never necessarily needing the key,
and drank it.
"I'm just gonna blast you open instead."
Hopefully Freyr isn't in this world… or he'll probably
kill me for breaking his pig.
He'd been
walking… and somehow ended up floating away in the bottle of the
shrinky potion in a large sea.
How this happened? Verdandi wanted
to keep going with this wonderland theme apparently…
"Oh god Mayura stop singing…" Loki found himself murmuring absentmindedly, just as a wave came up over his head and he came pouring out of the bottle onto the sand.
Mayura was standing
up on a rock playing with a campfire while strange creatures
danced/ran around the rock.
"Oh Loki…! You'll never get
dry that way!" Just as she said this another wave came crashing in
and everyone below the rock got soaked.
"How could I possibly
get dry like this…?!"
"Well I'm dry." Mayura pouted.
"You have to run around with them. Go! Don't be a party pooper
Loki."
Loki's eye twitched as another wave came in and he
found himself being carried by one of the monsters.
He sat there for a moment, cursing himself, when he saw Yamino turn up on an umbrella.
"I'm late! I'm late!" The snake with the rabbit ears on his head shouted, before running off again.
"Ack! Yamino! Let me go you weird creature thing you!"
"You're not gonna get dry like that Loki!"
But Loki ignored her and jumped off of the creature and into the woods after his son.
"HOLY CRAP…! WHAT HAS SHE DONE TO YOU!?" Loki shrieked.
He'd apparently lost Yamino in the woods and went to looking around trees and bushes before he walked right into Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum...
"Urd! Skuld!" Loki squeaked.
"How rude!" Skuld stated
dramatically.
"Somebody doesn't know how to properly visit
someone." Urd nodded.
"We shall have to teach him some
manners."
A good hour later Loki was dizzy and ready to
fall over.
"Just let me leave!" He shouted suddenly when Urd
and Skuld stopped him yet again before another pass through the
trees. Urd blinked. "Why?"
"….Because I need to get out
of this dream!"
"Why?" Skuld stated.
"….Because
this is fricken insane!"
"Why?" They both barked.
Loki
twitched and raised his hand ready to summon his staff again when
Skuld whispered something to Urd.
"If she's so upset with
this world why is she here?"
"Must be curious… remember
who else was curious?"
"Ah… The oysters….The oysters
where curious."
Urd and Skuld looked shocked and pulled
apart with a sad sigh.
"Oh! The poor oysters…!" They
cried.
Loki sighed and turned to look at them again. "What
happened to the oysters…?"
"Oh you wouldn't want to know
about that." Skuld murmured.
"You're much to busy." Urd
nodded.
Loki twitched again. "Fine… You know what? I don't
want to know about the fricken oysters." He stated, and started
walking off again.
"Well! It's the story of the
carpenter and the walrus."
"…Or the curious oysters…!"
God damn it.
The scene seemed to melt around him and he saw
Kotaru and Narugami walking along the beach.
"Kotaru…!
We have to work on cleaning this beach."
"WORK!? Uh… no…"
Kotaru whacked Narugami with a cane he pulled out of nowhere and he
went flying towards the water where he saw the oysters, each with a
separate teenage girls face on it.
"Oh… food…"
Narugami laughed when he brought his head out of the water.
Kotaru blinked at him and walked towards the ocean.
"Oh…Food…How
convenient…" All the girls coed and giggled at the site of the
blond and Kotaru smiled charmingly at them.
"Hello ladies like to spend some time with me?" Kotaru grinned and the girls smiled and followed him out of the water.
"Good girls."
Narugami glared at him and turned around to start picking up
random pieces of wood. He then pulled a script out of his pocket and
raised a brow.
"I'm supposed to build this magically tiny yet
spacious shack in about three seconds…?! Okay Verdandi. I'm sorry
for what ever it is I did to you…but please- AHH!!" Just then
lightning struck and Thor was where it hit.
First there was the
incredibly pain and then Thor sat there and sighed. "It's just
cruel to use my own element against me you know…" He whimpered
before picking up the hammer and nails and getting to work. It took
him a little longer but he managed to cut it down in a few minutes…
Maybe the electric shock had energized him as well as depressed him.
Meanwhile, Kotaru flirted with the girls and when the building was done he happily lead them into the shack.
They
all sat down to dinner and Narugami was asked to go get the bread.
He glared at them all before wondering off to go get it as he was
the only one that knew how the story was going to end. He made sure
to pop his head out just before Kotaru could try and eat one of the
oysters and made some random comment about the food.
Kotaru
nodded absentmindedly before Thor ran off back to the kitchen and
Kotaru picked up all the little oysters in his arms.
"Dinner's all for me…" He looked up thoughtfully though.
"Damn… I'm gonna get fat." He pouted before looking down at
the oysters again.
"Oh well. That girl with the bell is kind
of scary. So! What ever…"
Narugami came out and asked for the oysters and when he got no answer he looked up at Kotaru who had the shells piled in front of him.
"Eheh… I was hungry?"
"Ya. I know you were hungry. And now I get to whack you with
Mjollnir."
The scene melted away and Skuld and Urd smiled.
"Another story! Another!" Skuld giggled.
Urd rolled
her eyes but she started dancing and singing with her little sister
anyway.
Loki ignored them.
"Ya. That was amusing. If I
find Narugami again I know he and Kotaru are actually in their right
mind…Alright. I'm leaving now. Bye girls…" He murmured to
himself as the other two obviously weren't listening.
He
tripped on trough a few more trees and came to a bright village
setting.
"Spica…! Spica…!"
"Yamino!" Loki shouted suddenly when he heard Yamino shouting his
mother's name.
He ran towards the house he had heard the sound
from just as Yamino ran out of the house.
At the site of Loki
though, he ran back towards him.
"Spica…! What are you doing
out here Spica…?" Yamino started. Loki raised a brow.
"Now
I'm Spica?"
"I can't find my name tag for the
convention! Go inside and find it for me!"
Loki glared at his
son as he was shoved into the house. "Now I'm taking orders from
you!? No. I want to go home!"
But the door slammed shut and
Yamino was waiting outside.
Loki growled something inaudible
under his breath again and started searching the house for the bloody
name tag.
He walked into a brightly colored room- as every room
in the house was brightly colored- and realized he was hungry.
"Fuck. Just watch. They're gonna have those stupid 'try me'
cookies now aren't they!?" Loki cursed. And just then he saw the
box of cookies sitting on the dresser.
"Ugg… fine… The
cookies are supposed to make me bigger right… maybe it will be
wiser if I got out of the house and ate it." He picked up the
cookie and brought it up to his mouth to look at it closer.
Unfortunately there was a great crash from outside that alarmed
him so much he jumped and he ended up swallowing the tiny cookie.
"Fucking hell."
Loki heard Yamino shout about how long it
was taking by the point where his head hit the ceiling.
"I'm
gonna break the house and then Yamino's gonna wig out call me a
monster and ask someone to try and exterminate me. Lovely."
As this was done (As you can tell I'm getting incredibly irritated
with how long this is taking…)
Loki twitched when he heard
Mayura's voice giggling about how mysterious the monster was.
"So you'll get the monster out right?" Yamino asked.
Mayura
blinked at him and laughed. "Uh… no…? We'll get someone else
to do it! Narugami!"
Loki blinked and tried to see out
the window when he heard the boy's name.
Maybe Narugami, now
that he wasn't excluded to the dream within the dream, could help
him?
Narugami checked his script again and sighed. "Yes
Mayura?"
Mayura smiled. "Ever been in a chimney before?"
"A few of my part time jobs have asked me of this ya."
"Alright then, go in there and pull the monster out of the
chimney." Mayura giggled and pushed him up to the house. The Ladder
he'd been holding was fixed up to lean against the chimney and he
started up.
He choked when he saw Loki though.
"Loki!"
He shrieked almost falling down the ladder.
Mayura caught him
with a surprisingly odd strength for a girl her age compared to
Narugami and walked up the ladder with him.
"Aw Now, now, no
need to be afraid Narugami" She went all the way to the top and
stuffed him into the chimney.
"Yes! I'm gonna be able to
talk to NaruKami now!" Loki nodded, shaking the house a bit. Just
then Thor came crashing down the chimney and the soot tickled Loki's
senses.
"Shit. I'm gonna sneeze." And he did.
Narugami
went flying out of the chimney and into the sky.
Mayura and
Yamino watched him disappear into the clouds and Mayura murmured a
slight prayer while Loki sighed.
"Sorry Naru…"
"Now what?!" Yamino asked desperately.
Mayura shrugged.
"Uhm… I dunno…" She pulled a match out of nowhere and stared
at it for a moment before giggling again.
"I know! We'll
burn down your house and the monster!"
Yamino nodded
enthusiastically. "Oh yes! We'll burn the house and the monster-
wait. The house…?!"
Mayura got to work picking up all the
wood around the yard to build up at the bottom of the house while
Loki was starting to get a little alarmed.
"No! Mayura!
What are you doing with my mail-order genuine Tiki hut torches?!"
Yamino shrieked disapprovingly.
Mayura went on with her business,
ignoring Yaminos protests and Loki's growing concern.
"How
am I getting out of this…?" Loki muttered to himself. He looked
out the window and saw that there were carrots growing in the field.
"If I eat something maybe I'll shrink again…" He sighed
and reached out with one of his currently huge hands and picked up a
carrot before Yamino could stop him- as he did try to stop him.
Loki
was forced to pick up his squirming tiny son as he needed the carrot.
"I need to eat something Yamino."
"Well you're not
going to eat me!" Yamino shouted waving the carrot like a sword.
Loki raised a brow. "Well of course not! I need the carrot." He
barked, before raising his head and biting the carrot.
Yamino squeaked, thinking that his hand had been bitten off before Loki began to shrink and dropped Yamino onto the ground where he landed with his pocket watch out on his hand.
Yamino glanced at the watch and
jumped up dramatically running towards the door again.
"I'm
late! Mail-order convention! Wait for me!" Yamino squeaked before
running out of the house.
Loki meanwhile was the size of a
mouse and running across the room towards the door.
"No!
Yamino you will get me out of this world now!" He hissed,
but Yamino was long gone.
He walked past Mayura who was still
trying to light the fire under the house as her match hadn't burnt
it well enough and she didn't have anymore so just to amuse her-
and perhaps himself a little more, he stopped and poked her, pulling
out Laevatein.
"Oh! Loki. You're tiny- Hey, do you have
a light?"
"Actually I do."
Let's burn down Yamino's imaginary house…Just because I need to take my frustration out on something…
(Now I as
author have ever right to skip scenes so Good bye flowers! I found
you boring in the movie and can't think of anything interesting
enough to mess around with, with all those fricken flowers- there are
just too many of them! NO WAY!)
(Ps: Although
Heimdall would have made a great PMS-ing flower….)
"I'm not
a fricken weed! I think you guys have had enough of that anyway…
fricken stoners."
Pretty smoke
clouds…
Loki murmured to himself as he continued trudging
through the grass and looked up to see nothing but smoke in the shape
of oddly deformed letters.
And was that- No…
No… It
couldn't be… Verdandi would do that…not her...
Loki walked off towards the sound of the familiar voice and in the direction that the smoke was coming from and he was met face to face with his pink haired daughter holding onto a hookah and humming a rather odd song.
"And I thought the flowers were bad… Hel! Put that down that's bad for you!"
Hel glanced at
him and raised a brow. "Excuse me…? Who are you?"
"Oh
dear lord… Hel… Tell me you're sane in this thing."
"Nope Daddy. I'm not sane. Now who are you?"
"But you
just called me daddy!"
"Because I'm not sane. Now
recite."
"Say what now?"
"Nope! It goes like this
daddy" Hel smiled.
How does the little crocodile
improve his shining tail
and pour the water of the Nile on ever
golden scale.
How cheerfully he seems to grin,
how neatly
spreads his claws,
and welcomes little fishes in
with Gentle
smiling jaws
"That's... wonderful… what does it
have to do with anything…?" Loki smiled patiently at his daughter
as she glared at him and pouted.
"I fixed it myself."
"Of course you did darling…"
"Now who are you!?"
Loki sighed.
"Oh I give up… just behave yourself alright?"
He murmured before walking off through the grass again.
Hel's
lovely green irises widened and she climbed up a rather large blade
of grass, "Oh wait! Father! Father I have something I need to tell
you! Come back…!"
Loki sighed.
His daughter was calling
him…
Maybe I should go back…
And so he turned
around and started back to find his baby girl.
"Hel…?"
By
the time he made it back Hel was laying on her back with her hookah
and glaring at the sky.
"Daddy left me alone. Daddy is a
jerk."
"Yes… Daddy is horrible, and daddy is sorry. Now
what is it that you wanted to say?"
Hel glared at him as
she sat upright and took another huff of her hookah.
"What
does daddy want currently?"
Loki raised a brow.
"Well… It would be nice to be taller…"
"Why?"
"Because… Being this size kind of sucks… The flowers can beat
me up."
Hel of course wasn't paying attention to the last
bit. "OH! So being my size sucks?! Daddy is so horrible!" She
shouted, her face getting red in her anger. She started puffing on
her hookah again drastically before a smoke cloud appeared.
"Oh Hel! That really isn't healthy stop it!" Loki shouted over
the haze of her huffing and he blew the smoke away.
And she was
gone.
"No… Hel…?" He looked around. "Hel!?"
"But I have a few words of advice…" her voice sounded from
above him.
Loki glanced up and saw his daughter with nice dark
green butterfly wings coming out of her back.
"One side makes
you grow taller and the other makes you grow smaller!"
Loki
glanced at her skeptically, "What do you mean?"
"The
mushroom of course…! Now Goodbye father…!" She mumbled loudly
before fluttering off.
"Lovely…" he picked at the mushroom until he had a piece from each side in his hands and with a sigh he took a bite from one side.
After growing rather large
and having a fight with a bird he bit the other one and shrunk back
to about three inches.
"Alright… All in moderation now…"
And finally Loki found himself back in the right size.
"Now
what…!"
He walked towards
the fork in the road- or the path or what ever it was he was on and
glanced at the trees.
How could anyone possibly navigate
themselves around here?!
And why do they have to keep singing!?
Wait a minute… I know that voice too… I don't suppose Verdandi could have simply taken his image too…
He
glanced up towards the voice and saw two triangular cat ears a
familiar hair style and a single red eye looking so very amused up in
a tree.
"Hiya Loki." The face appeared and a very bushy
purple tail flashed across the branch and the rest of the slender
body appeared.
Heimdall was lying on his stomach on the branch, one hand hanging off towards the ground and his legs were crossed, his tail swishing playfully.
"If I didn't know
you weren't in your right mind I would so be mocking you right
now."
"Ah… mock if you will. I am in my right mind. But
you're in a dress. I just have ears and a tail." Heimdall
laughed. Loki twitched and stepped back.
"So you,
Narugami, and Kotaru are being bribed?"
"Where did you get
bribed from? Narugami is being blackmailed for upsetting her and
Kotaru was just to sidetrack you. He's not really here. But Hel is-
oh she asked for this."
"Then what are you here for?"
Loki murmured skeptically.
Heimdall raised his head thoughtfully
and turned over on his back, bending his knees and pulling them up so
he could lean his tail against them while petting it.
"Well,
you don't have any proof them I'm actually here- I could be like
Kotaru. Or I could be like Naru. Perhaps I am being bribed. But- I'm
the Cheshire cat after all. What can you assume from me in the real
world? Let alone what you can assume from me as the Cheshire cat."
Heimdall grinned, purring slightly before he pulled at his tail and
played with it like a ball of yarn- it was long enough for this to be
done with out hurting him.
"So in other words… I can't
trust a word you say…"
"Well you can… but you have to
pay attention to what you trust and what you don't… Like… I can
say…" Heimdall jumped out of the tree, very cat like indeed, and
practically floated towards Loki.
He held up one ungloved hand
and lightly grabbed Loki's chin, making sure not to hurt him with
his claws.
"I can say…" He repeated, leaning close enough
that Loki could feel his breath, "I love you…"
Loki choked,
his face having already started to turn pink at the simply touch was
now a deep crimson. "Wh-"
Heimdall pulled back suddenly and
through laughs stated, "And you would never know if I meant it or
not! Because I'm Heimdall and the Cheshire cat in a world Verdandi
made to torture people who upset her. Gee… if this is just to
torture you… I wonder how you're feeling right now…" The
purple cat person grinned and pressed his body up close to Loki's
and circled around him, once again, rather cat like.
Loki's face was practically burning and he tried to get away but kept getting circled.
"Anyway…" Heimdall murmured, finally
deciding enough was enough and disappearing, reappearing into another
tree to take on another laid back yet rather seductive pose as he lay
across a branch.
"If you were wondering…He ran that way…"
He said, pointing in a random direction.
"He?" Loki gasped
out, so glad to be in better conditions.
"The white rabbit."
"Yamino did?!"
"Who did?"
"Yamino."
"Who's
Yamino?"
"Uh… the white Rabbit?"
"White rabbit?"
"But you just said-"
"Who said?"
"YOU!"
"You?"
Perhaps he was too flustered to really get mad… Loki just sighed.
"Can you stand on your head?" Heimdall
giggled suddenly.
It was slightly upsetting to see Heimdall's
body actually stand on his head but Loki had to ignore this.
Heimdall was the Cheshire cat.
"Interesting really-"
"But if I were searching for a white rabbit I'd ask the mad
hatter… Well, these are just lines. I wouldn't ask the mad hatter
if I were you." Heimdall stated honestly perhaps. Because, while
Loki didn't know who everyone's character was, Heimdall did.
"I don't think I want to talk to anyone mad right now…" Loki
shook his head.
Heimdall nodded-his head back on his body.
"Of course- well, I guess there is the March hare… Now, I'd
rather talk to her… but she's really just as bad."
"I
think I'll go to her…"
"And by just as bad I mean she's
mad too."
"But I don't want to go about mad people!"
Loki squeaked desperately. He'd had enough with these weirdos!
Heimdall shrugged.
"Well sucks to be you then. We're all mad
here." He smiled and started playing with his tail again. "After
all I'm not all here myself." The cat grinned, pieces of him
disappearing as he spoke.
He was humming the odd song he
originally been singing until he was nothing but the patronizing
smile. Soon that too disappeared and Loki nearly slammed his head
into a tree.
"If this continues exactly like the movie I
suppose I'll be seeing you later Heimdall." The boy in the maids
dress stated with a sigh before walking in a random direction. Who
ever he got to first- or, well, by now he was sure they'd be
together…
Now who were they…?
Who was left? But then…
that wasn't going to help… Narugami was used twice…
'Well,' Loki thought as he heard the familiar music for
the 'un-birthday' party, 'time to find out.'

Author's note: Ya, I planned

on Dusk (An original story) before I lose my inspiration and I don't
really want to waste my time writing a story no one's gonna read so
if you want me to finish it review. K? Good. I'm off to go write.
Ps. I will always be a HeimdallxLoki fan. :P
