Chapter 1
Okay, the last chapter was sort of a test to see how it operated, and I was pleased with the results. It was sort of on the short side of a writing though, and I plan to make these longer than the first chapter. It might be a little before the next chapter though,I want to get close to those guy's reactions and such as close as possible so they don't
seem to OOC. I'm still getting used to this, so forgive some errors and such.
Now thats done, on to the next chapter of 'To Change A Future'!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Saipher's P.O.V continued~
When I arrived at Nina's, I sort of expected her reaction to my luggage bags.
"Wha? Why are packed like you are moving in to Mount Everest near the peak?"
Behind me was two vacation bags. One with my clothes, soap, tooth brush,camping supplies,emergency kit,extra food,ext. ,basically everything needed to live in comfort for about a month without worrying of food and water. The second one though...was filled with technology and entertainment to the point to where it looked like one wrong move and the whole thing explodes.
Yea...I was that bad,especially in entertainment. But I have a good reason for all this.
You see, Nina here doesn't have to much technology available to her all the time, other than her phone which is with her 24/7. Other than the tech shortage, the house its self was bare of all outlets other than in the some in the kitchen. All of which were used to power everyday items like the stove, a microwave, the refrigerator, and a mini griller that we couldn't unplug thanks to strict only other outlet was in Nina's room, which only had one working outlet in it, and used only to charge her phone.
Now you see my problem.
Now my (not so) small solar powered outlet with wifi and almost 20 outlets on it doesn't seem all ridiculous. Plus they don't even have a good T.V., forcing me to bring a portable dvd player that acts like a dual HD T.V. to watch a marathon of anime back to back.
"Um..."
Nina continued as she saw what was inside it,along with kitty cat needs for Mittens, it contained a certain 'bad luck' charm we picked up earlier. That its self caused her to pause, and she stuttered even more as she saw my emergency items and stuff I usually didn't bring to these types of things forced inside it.
"Okay, now I might know what your thinking." I started off to my explanation of this.
"...You better not be doing what I think you are doing." She answered in a deadpan tone.
Drats, she's figured me out quickly, too quickly.
She continued. "This isn't some fan fiction that we have read about.(Haha, the irony)
This is real life, and none of those ridiculous outcomes can happen. Besides, we aren't luck enough for that to happen to us."
Wow, dream crusher much. But not for normal reasons. Well played Nina, well played.
"Well, I am staying for a while, and it is one of those sleep overs."
"But I am still not convinced you need all that for a weekend long one."
"...I brought all 800 and up episodes of one piece, and all to most recent manga, all on one flash drive." I hung said flash drive in front of my face, grabbing her attention to the 108 GB storage unit.
She continued to glare at me, still not convinced.
"...I also brought Minecraft, Mega Man Remix, Plants Vs. Zombies,those party games you like so much, and my iPad with even more stuff for an all nighter or two here."
"...Fine, I get it." Thank gosh I finally convinced her to keep my stuff here.
"But, why do you have all this paper, and did you bring those movies I asked for?"
I was about to panic until those last few words, thank gosh that was all I need to explain. I couldn't keep getting these lies out of my ass 'd become unbelievable at this rate.
"You know I like to draw, and I brought that and a little extra just in case."
She finally took it, and just in time to. Me and Mittens were both getting bored just standing in the door way for that long.
-Later That Day-
"So, why bring the charm? If it won't do anything, because I know it won't, isn't just dead weight? Seriously thought, why didn't you back break? That bag's like 20 pounds! I could barley carry it into the living room, much less to your house."
"Eh, I have been working on my muscles thanks to my back pack, and I was walking here. I didn't want to tear a tendon this early in my life."
We where sitting in her bedroom on the second floor. Once I got situated to my spot in it, with mittens drinking contently from her now permanent water bowl in the corner, I took out a soda from the fridge and acted as cooly as I weather took a turn for the worst from a nice and sunny day that seemed perfect for a stroll in the park into typhoon typical weather with winds strong enough to knock over trees,rain pounding into windows and cars, and lot and lots of thunder.
Makes me wonder why my cat was calm through the whole thing.
I had taken out the small charm and put it on the bedside table as we played Minecraft on our respective tablet and phone's. I was still waiting for something to happen to it,like it having a white glow or something,no matter how much nina denied that it wouldn't do something.
"So, want to watch the first episode of one piece in english dub later?"I asked, getting impatient with the silence between us.
"Wait, which one?"
"FUNimation, duh. Who would want the 4kids dud with no violence and such?It would be so boring to!"
"Thank gosh that hasn't changed a bit."
A few seconds went by before I got an even better idea.
"Would you rather watch what happened with the ASL? But with subtitles because they haven't gotten to dubbing it yet."
"Okay, thats fine with me." Yes,the answer I was waiting for, and so my plan went to affect.
-Later-
Finally we had gotten to the point where we had spent daylight gaming it away in the darkness of my best friend's bedroom, and had just finished re-watching the ASL past on my mini was the middle of the night, and while many people thought it was late, we were just getting started.
*HACK* My cat all of a sudden started to sound like she was going to throw up a hair ball or actually throw up any second. With my quick instincts, I pulled her outside the room onto the wooden floor. I didn't want her to ruin Nina's carpet. Personally, I thought cleaning wooden floor was easier to clean than carpet, thanks to all my experience in taking care of a young cat.
"Okay, what did your cat do this time." Nina didn't like the fact that we would have to clean up after her all the time, but she did it anyways because she like Mittens to much. That cat always got people to like her with her ' jump into anyone's' lap habits, her 'pet my soft brown fur' persistence to me and others, and her cuteness act. Which included laying on the ground anywhere, joining us on anime marathons, and being bratty but cute at the same time.
Sometimes I really regret spoiling my animal that much.
Sadly thats the price to pay for a cute cat that doesn't like fish and loves the water.
Weird, I know.
"I don't know, but I think she is finished now.I really hope she didn't make a big mess this time."
I went to get her from the outside, to only see her licking her paw and cutely rubbing it on her face to clean herself, and thankfully nothing on the floor.I picked her up from the floor to carry her back into the room.
"So, what did she do?" My friend asked, bracing for worst case scenarios to happen.
"She didn't do anything." I answered unsure of the cause.
"It must have been a false alarm" She finished my thought.
"Huh," I answered pleasantly surprised."She usually does something whenever she starts up, even when it's small. She doesn't do false alarms unless she chokes on some-"I stop, because I was trying to find the cause of Mittens gaging, and found the source.
Some weird looking 'water' in her water bowl. Though it couldn't be water, because it had a weird looking texture and a 'dirty' looking color to it.
"What do mean she doesn't do false ala-" She cut off as well, want to see why I stopped and finding the source too.
We both stared at the water for 5 seconds before I started ranting.
"What did you DO!"
"I didn't do anything! I checked before you came, and it was still water then. I know there is no chemicals here."
We both knew that last part well ,with Nina's parents very strict about safety, they 'teenaged' proofed the whole house with complicated locks we couldn't even get into if we tried out the reason why she has little technology there to begin with.
Before I could come up with a something else though, a lightning bolt came close to the house. Way to close to the house as it took the electricity out, taking our source of light other than the mini HD out and shaking the house to its foundation.
The cat still wasn't all.
Lucky me, no claws equals no pain.
Out of the corner of my eye though, I saw the faint glow of something on the bedside table.
Where I had last put the straw hat's charm.
Oh yea. In you face Nina!
I was still victory dancing in my mind as the (Dubbed in my mind) 'Possible dimensional travel' glow steadily started to get brighter and brighter, to the point it was visible to Nina from halfway cross the room.
I was merrily putting all the stuff I had taken out of my luggage bags back in quickly as I could as Nina was still processing the fact that this was happening at all. I had finished putting all my stuff up and went to her closet to get her fully packed travel back pack out as she started getting histarical, over the shock and surprise of the glow and panicking on what to do next.
"WHAT! WHY ARE WE NOT TRING TO RUN RIGHT NOW?!"
"Because, you know as well as I do that running won't do anything to stop this." I answered as plainly as I could, scoping everything I brought up(Still keeping Mittens in my arms) and looking ready to go some where.
She stared at me for a bit before giving in.
"Alright, alright. So what are you doing now?" She asked honestly.
"I am waiting for this charm to start blinding us with light. I had a gut feeling this would happen, and got ready for it. Having everything I would need to survive for a little while. So grab your bag and a few other things you want to keep. This might be the last time you see any of this for a while." I answered her as I grabbed the bowl, dumping the contaminants into her bathroom toilet and flushing it down. She joined me in the bathroom as I did this.
"Okay, you being so calm about this is creeping me out a lot." She said this as she grabbed her bag and put some shampoos and conditioners, along with some mouth wash, a ton of allergy medicine that could last her decades easily, her contacts, and a few other thing she thought she could only get here.
"Well, being calm and collected is better than panicking and being unprepared for this." I finished saying as I re-entered the living room and sitting on her bed.
"I guess?" *Sign*" Your right, this is better."She placed her head on her hand.
"See what I mean now?" The charm started to beam as bright as the sun in our faces. And luckily we had both finished grabbing what we wanted for this adventure.
"Well" I started as the charm got impossibly bright for both of us."Grab my hand so we both end up in the same place." My mind was swarming on what could go wrong with this, and that was the best option I could come with.
Nina did this, and just in time to, because the next second we knew it, the whole room turned bright and everything was gone into a void of white.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Soon-
I had woken up, with my cat on my chest and Nina on my side. Except...she looked like she was when she was five.
"Wha?"
That all I got out as they both started to wake up, and started speaking immediately as the noticed where we where.
We where in the middle of a forest clearing, with all the stuff we had grabbed on us thankfully the same.
But as I took in our location, I noticed something. Something big.
"The Fuck?" "Um, I didn't sign up for this. At all."
Not one, but two voices said this at once. And while one was higher than usual,I didn't recognize the other.
Me and Nina stared at my cat, because we didn't miss that Mittens just said something.
We really should have expected something like that, but the big thing I noticed now was the fact everything now looked anime-ish.
Eh, weirder things have happened when dimensional traveling.
'What just happen?!'
"..." I looked wide eyed, because I just had a thought that wasn't mine.
This just gets weirder and weirder, doesn't it?
Okay, so I had an idea that because we both held hands, we could share thoughts now. 'Cool' is what I thought of that fact.
"Okay, lets not freak out." I said, directing the comment more for Mittens than Nina.
"Wah!" Mittens responded and started to squirm around, trying to make sense of all this.
"Really?" Nina decided to comment all of a sudden.
"..."I said nothing as I noticed some one in the bushes near the end of the rather small clearing we landed in.
That some one looked like a kid.
A strangely familiar kid.
This was going to be a long day, wasn't it?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~O.O~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm tired, well, finally finished. I hope this doesn't become habit to submit this late at night. Well, enjoy!
