Strawberry Shortcake: Entry Into Berryland
By Jacob Davis
Prologue - Beamed into Berry Bitty City
My name is Jacob. I am a person who accidentally came to Berry Bitty City. Strawberry and her friends have took me in as if I was part of their humble city, however, I have no way to get back to my real home.
To better explain, here's how this whole thing started.
Las Vegas, Nevada – September 27, 2010
It all started when these new laser shrinking machines started popping up all over the country. My parents have decided to buy one of those machines from a Best Buy affiliate, and let's just say that it was quite big for its size. They bought it as we were preparing to move to Japan, due to the fact that pretty much everything needed to come with us! However, little did I know that one small accident that would happen to that machine can have a big impact on my life overall.
When the machine was brought up to the living room, Dad started the sequence right away, but although he failed to install one crucial part into the system, I couldn't tell him that there would be serious ramifications, because according to him, I was not the be-all and end-all of machinery or mechanics. I just let him do his thing, but then, when the shrinking process started, something very mysterious had happened.
The laser was aiming straight for me! My parents screamed, my brother was in a state of panic, and I was frozen in place when the beam hit me.
I never knew about the effects of lasers like this, but one thing I did know about most types of lasers was that they were a blinding hazard when pointed at my eyes! But this one wasn't your ordinary laser, oh no! This one wasn't as much a hazard as most lasers were at all. Instead of just shrinking me, it also broadcast my body straight down to the berry patch we had in the backyard. What would happen to me now? Death? Disintegration? Perhaps some nasty medical problems? Well, as it turned out, none of the above. Instead, I lost consciousness.
A few minutes later, I woke up, only to be greeted by some of the cutest faces I could have only seen on television.
A/N: I have initially used Google Drive to write the story, but I decided a full rewrite of the opening chapters was needed before I could put it up here. Please comment if you like it.
