Cheddar: YAY! A STORY WITH ME IN IT! YAY!

Chapter 1

I walked home from another day in summer school. I was your average fifteen year old girl who was nothing special. I was known as one of the outcasts in popular terms but I had my own group of friends to hang out with and I didn't really care about the popular people because they're always so snotty. As I walked along the small quiet paved streets towards my house I realized that I was being followed. As I quickened my pace the person behind me did too. Before long I realized that I was in a part of the block that was unfamiliar the trees were all twisted and they had no leaves. The houses were all black and dreary as the wind passed through them they moaned. I noticed a group of older boys waiting at the corner as I came up to them they all stopped me.

"Hey there," one of them said to me. "Where are you going in such a rush?"

"N—none of you business!" I faltered. The guy that had been following me caught up.

"Hey boss look what we found!" another guy said. The guy who was following me grabbed my arms.

"You're coming with us." The leader demanded as he led me away and into his own abandoned house. They threw me into a room and locked the door behind them. "You are all mine…" he said as he approached me.

"NO!" I screamed as I hit him. I ran past him and tried the door.

"Wench! You'll pay…" he said as he pulled out a knife and headed for me. "I said YOU ARE MINE!" he bellowed. The next thing I knew I felt steel running through my body and then I was falling. I never hit the ground. I opened my eyes as I was falling. I saw lots and lots of water and as I neared it a saw what seemed to be a circus on the sea.

Buggy the clown was laughing his head off. He'd found another cursed fruit and he was going to be rich.

"HEY ALVIDA!" he screamed at the top of his lungs. Alvida held her hands up to her ears.

"Buggy… I'm only two feet away from you…" she said in her thick southern accent. "But what do you want Buggy?" she asked.

"BRING OUT THE RUM ALVIDA DARLING! I'VE FOUND A FRUIT AND WE'RE GUNNA BE RICH!" he screamed his crew whooped and hollered as he held it up victoriously. It was a small round white fruit with light blue markings on it. Alvida pouted.

"I am not your pack mule! Cabaji! YOU GET IT!" she barked at buggy's first mate. He grumbled but then went off to get the rum. As Cabaji rolled out the rum and took off the top one of the crew men pointed to the sky.

"LOOK CAPTAIN BUGGY SIR!" he shouted Buggy's head snapped up. Something was falling out of the sky.

"Well what is it?" he asked puzzled. "It's not a bird but here it comes!" Buggy shouted as it crashed into the barrel of rum.

The next thing I knew I was in a barrel full of booze. I came up gasping for breath sputtering out the foul tasting liquid. I wiped my eyes and looked around. It truly was a circus on the sea; I was looking into the face of a clown with a really big red nose.

"Um… Hello?" I said as I tried to smile and wave. But I couldn't see as this huge clown was right in my face. I was terrified of clowns.

"Who are you?" he barked.

"Ch—Chelsea SIR!" I said quickly as to not incur the wrath of the evil clown. I shivered at the thought of him honking his nose at me.

"Look Buggy you're scaring the poor girl!" Alvida said as she pushed away the big clown. I looked up at her she was beautiful.

"Wow! Some one else who's from the south!" I smiled as I got out of the barrel. My white shirt for my uniform was soaked all the men gaped at me. I noticed. "You are perverted pirates…" I snorted at them. Alvida took me into her room and got me into some clean dry clothes. I came out wearing an even shorter skirt and a corset top. I don't admit this often but my friends all tell me I have a good figure.

So as I stepped out of the door the men were all drooling. Buggy even gaped. "Ugh… too bad I have to wear hose…" I sighed as I walked past him.

"What did you say about my NOSE?" he screamed. I froze in terror as he grabbed me with his hands, except as I turned around they weren't connected to his body. I screamed.

"I didn't say any thing Mr. Buggy the pirate SIR!" I whimpered as he brought me closer to his face. "Please don't honk your nose at me! I'm terrified of clowns!" I whimpered some more. Buggy's vein popped.

"TIE HER TO THE MAST AND NO FOOD OR WATER FOR THREE DAYS!" he bellowed. Cabaji and Mohji grabbed me and ran like heck to the mast and tied me up.

"Wha---?" I started to cry. "I'm sorry! Mr. Captain Buggy sir I'm SORRY!" I sobbed. Mohji came over to me and patted my head.

"Don't cry… here's Richie to cheer you up!" he said and then he whistled loudly and a huge lion comes bounding up to him, purring loudly. "Give her a kiss Richie." Mohji told the lion. The lion licked his chops and opened his mouth wide. "RICHIE! Not THAT kind of kiss!" Mohji said angrily. The lion hung his head and stuck out its tongue and licked the side of my face. I giggled at the fact that he was just a big kitten wanting some love, and that there was lion slobber all over my face, 'cause not many people, except Siegfried and Roy, well they do tigers, get to say they were kissed by a lion and LIVED! Richie sat back on his hind legs curled up and went to sleep. My tummy growled.

"Oh…No…" I moaned and the three days went by like slugs. After the third day I grumbled as Buggy came to untie me.

"Okay," he told me as he pulled out a dagger. I flinched as he sliced the ropes. I got up slowly and then bolted for the kitchen. But as I ran I passed Buggy's room and the door was open so I looked in and saw the huge fruit he was talking about earlier. Being as hungry as I was I went in and ate it. Then I dashed off to the kitchen to eat more. As I ran I noticed that the hall was getting smaller and smaller. Finally I bumped my head on the ceiling. I screamed and Buggy ran in and saw me floating and he screamed.

"AH! YOU ATE THE CURSED FRUIT I STOLE!"

"AH! I'M FLOATING!" I screamed. Then I realized that if I could control it I would be off his ship forever! So I zoomed above him and out the door and I flew off with him shouting below me.

I flew high in the clouds realizing what it was like to be a bird. Then suddenly I began to fall. I didn't know why I just started to fall. I screamed and screamed hoping that the flying ability would come back but it didn't and I was falling again.
