A Fruits Basket Story

Chapter 1: "O.O"

"PENELOPE!!!!!" screamed Tabitha.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME, WOMAN?!" hollered Penelope.

"Hurry up! I thought you wanted to watch the movie with us!" yelled Tabitha.

"I do! But you have to be patient 'cuz I'm trying to get something!" Penelope yelled back.

"Fine! I'll give you five more minutes!" said Tabitha.

"Thank you!" said Penelope.

Sometimes Penelope just couldn't stand Tabitha. And sometimes...Tabitha just couldn't stand Penelope.

Tabitha's friend, Marina, had brought over a brand new DVD that she just got from her parents - A Fruits Basket Movie. "Ok, I'm ready..." said Penelope.

"Well it's about time lil' sis..." said Tabitha.

Marina put in the DVD and pushed "play".

Penelope didn't understand the movie at all. So, she quietly got up and snuck upstairs to bed. Tabitha fell asleep a little later, about over half of the movie. Marina just sat there, eating popcorn. After the movie had finally finished, Marina got up to stop the movie, when all of a sudden, the electricity went out!

Marina couldn't see where the "eject" button on the DVD was. All of a sudden, the clock started ticking. She looked up at the clock and the hand was spinning faster and faster. "Marina! Wake up already!" yelled an unfamiliar voice.

All of a sudden Marina felt a hard slap across the face. Marina's face got red from the slap and she looked around to find the culprit who slapped her. "Marina! Marina! WAKE UP!!!!!" screamed a familiar voice.

*SPLASH* Ice cold water was dumped on her, and she screamed. Marina opened her eyes to see that Tabitha and Penelope were looking at her with worry. "What happened?" asked Marina.

"You tell me...you're the one who started kicking and screaming," said Penelope.

Tabitha hit Penelope on the head. "Ow...What was that for?" asked Penelope, as she rubbed her head.

"She was just having a bad dream," said Tabitha.

Tabitha told Marina that she fell asleep in the middle of the movie, and woke up to Marina kicking and screaming. The girls sat and thought for a moment, then got up and stopped the movie. It was only midnight, so they all went back to bed.

Around 2 A.M., Penelope woke up to the sound of someone screaming, "AAAHHAAAHHHAAAAHHHHH!!!"

She sat up kind of fast, and ended up hitting her head on something. She rolled her eyes and groaned. Then she fell back to sleep. "AAAAHHH!!!"

Penelope opened her eyes and sat up again - only to hit her head...again...she fell back to sleep again..."AAAAHHHAAAHAAAAAHHH!!!!!"

Penelope, once again, sat up kind of fast, and hit her head...once again...She sleeply looked around, and fell on her back to fall asleep again. The same thing happens a couple more times *and it never gets old...hahaha...e.o*

Finally, Penelope couldn't take it anymore, so she got up and stormed downstairs. She swung the front door open and right there, was a strange little girl running around in circles screaming "AAAAHHHAAHAAAAHHHHH!!!" over and over again. Penelope just stood there and stared at the strange girl. But after a little while, it got annoying. "YOU!" she said in a dark and scary voice, and pointed at the little girl.

The girl froze and became silent. Her eyes widened and she took a big gulp. Without knowing, Penelope, had just crushed a baseball into dust. And when she looked closely at the little girls face, she noticed that the girl was looking at her hand. Penelope looked at her hand and saw that there was the baseball's remains. She looked down and saw that there was a baseball bat lying on the ground. She picked it up, "AAAAAHHHAAAHHAAAAAHHHH!!!!!" the little girl screamed and ran off *she thought Penelope was going to hit her* Penelope stood there for a moment - dumbfounded. Then she rolled her eyes and walked back into the house to put away the baseball bat.

When Penelope got inside, both Tabitha and Marina were standing by a window. They turned to face her, their eyes wide and mouth wide-open. "Wh-Wha-What was th-that all a-ab-b-bout?" asked Tabitha.

"What? Oh that? Well, uh...um...uh..." Penelope thought, "nothing?"

"Nothing? You call crushing a baseball and hitting a little girl - who somehow looked like that one girl named Tohru from Fruits Basket now that I think about it - with a baseball bat, NOTHING?" asked Tabitha.

"Uh...yeah..." blushed Penelope.

"Oh, ok!" smiled Tabitha.

Marina looked at Tabitha with disbelief, "...".
