Tacky Hat Shop
And
Howl's Moving CastleEd: Hello people! Welcome to the first Tacky Hat Shop fan fiction! This is our first Howl fic, so please don't blame us to horrible.
Jinx: I don't care what they think of the fic. After all, we haven't decided on a title yet.
Ed: True. Anyway. I'm Edward. I have other nicknames that will be seen in this fan fiction. And I'm a girl, okay?
Jinx: And I'm Jinx. I shall say no more.
Ryuko: I'm Ryuko. The saner one at times.
Ed: What? Are you saying I'm not sane?
Ryuko: Yes.
Hikari: I'm Hikari, I have a sister named-
Neko: Neko! That's me! (Smiles)
Jinx: Now let's get this show on the road!
Everyone: HELL YEAH!
"…When the hell did that house get there?" asked Ryuko after a while of silence on Hikari's front porch. Hikari, Neko, Jinx, and Ed looked up at the house that was randomly pointed out by Ryuko. The house did not fit in with all the other houses in the neighborhood. Instead of having that nice kind of European countryside look, it looked like an apartment building that was poorly built.
"Hikari…Why didn't you tell us they were building a new place? We could have watched or…not cause…an accident happen." Ed said.
"But it wasn't here yesterday!" Hikari exclaimed, her little sister Neko nodding her head in agreement, "We would have known!"
"Yeah! Whenever they build a new place, it's so damn loud." Neko added on.
"Well, let's go in."
"Whaaat?" The girls turned to Ryuko, who just shrugged and said, "Why not? If it's a new house, then no one lives there yet. We'll just slip inside and have a look around."
There was only a moment's pause ant then Ed let out a battle cry of "Charge!" and burst into the strange new house. The rest of the group followed suit in a less disruptive way.
"Is it me," Jinx said to the others while Ed "charged" her way to the new house, "Or does Edward NOT have a sense of doing things quietly?"
"I don't think 'quite' is in her vocabulary, Jinx." Ryuko replied.
Jinx only nodded and followed Ryuko into the cramped interior of the building. It was a dump. Cobwebs covered the ceiling, books stacked high on any flat surface and a number of questionable items lay in various dust piles around the limited walking space.
"Funny," Neko said," it looked bigger on the outside…"
Ed was just stared wide-eyed at the site.
"Ed?" Hikari waved a hand in front of Ed but she didn't respond. "Oh Ed! Earth to Ed!"
"It's no use Hikari," Jinx said to her while looking at the ash filled fireplace. "You know she has a weekly clean up of her room."
It was true. As messy as a person Ed was, there was points of time were she HAD to clean. This house was terrible. No. Beyond terrible.
"So…d-dirty…" Ed's voice was barely a whisper. As Ryuko and Hikari quickly restrained her, Jinx went to inspect the strange circle by the door they had come in. Neko however, got quite a surprise when she went upstairs.
The came a surprised shout from upstairs, followed by Neko's girlish scream. A few seconds later, she ran down the stairs followed closely by a young boy.
The boy stopped when he was the rest of the pack, blinked, and then said, "What are you doing here!"
Meanwhile Jinx was standing by the door, opening and closing. She laughed and said, "OMYGOD! This door leads to different places!"
Attracted by the prospect of a door leading to different places, they all ran over to the door and started playing with it, opening it to different places. However, when they turned it to the black colour, they were greeted with a black nothingness, and, like all teens would do, they poked it.
"Oooh…Smokey…" Hikari went. Ed poked it for a while too but then she remembered …the dirty-ness.
"GAH! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" Ed cried out. She ran up to the boy, grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him like a rag doll. "WHIT IS WRONG WITH YOU! DON'T YOU KNOW HOW TO CLEAN!"
"Waah! Ed! Stop!" Jinx called to her along with the others trying to stop Ed. Then Hikari tackled Ed and the boy. And when we say tackled, we mean "Jackie-Chan-Charlie's Angel –gonna- kick- your- ass tackled.
"Got her!" cried Hikari triumphantly.
"No you don't! You've got me!" the poor boy was trapped in Hikari's head lock-o-doom.
"Whoops… then who's got Ed?" asked Hikari, without relinquishing her hold on the boy.
"CLEAN!" Ed was busy zooming around, dusting and sweeping like mad.
Ryuko gave an audible sigh, "Well, as long as she's happy. Jinx, get away from the door!"
"Hey!" shouted the boy, "Will someone tell this crazy girl to let me go!"
"…Do…fires…have…eyes?" Neko asked leaning close to the fireplace.
Ryuko turned around, "Don't be any idiot, Neko. Fires only have eyes when you're smoking crack."
Hikari then turned around, forgetting the poor boy that had been in a headlock. "Did you find a crack stash I swear! You're able to sniff that stuff out like a security hound!"
"Hey! I'm the only one who's allowed to smoke around here!" someone said.
Naturally, they looked around for the voice that just happened to come out of nowhere.
"The fire, idiots!" the same voice yelled.
Then, at the same time, "HOLY SHIT! It talks!"
A lone voice then spoke out, "Where's Jinx?"
To be counted...
Ryuko: There's the first chapter. The second one will be up in a few days.
Ed: Or after this goes up. I've got nothing better to do anyway.
Ryuko: True.
Hikari: Please Review! We love to hear your ideas/ opinions!
Jinx and Neko: See you next time!
