Two girls descended down stares into their family basement. Cobwebs came into contact with their faces and hands as they went further down.
"Ugh, It's so disgrossting down here..." One said. She was the younger and shorter of the two.
"Well then, hurry up! I don't want to be down here as much as you do!" The other one replied. She was the taller and older sister.
A floorboard creaked, stopping them in their tracks.
"It-it's just the floor..." The older sister said.
"I know!" The younger one said. "I'm not a baby!"
They continued down to the bottom. They searched around for a light switch. When they finally found it, they switched it on. They coughed as dust rose and the cobwebs appeared. They hurried over to a corner of the room, dodging spiders, cobwebs, and boxes along the way. The younger one reached the little locked box first, picking it up and placing a key into the lock.
As she opened the box, the older one reached in and pulled out two folded pieces of paper. She handed one to her sister. They sat the box down and opened the papers, reading them.
They were old and stiff, but the writing was still visible. They were wishlists from five years ago. The older girl laughed.
"Ha. I had weird wishes when I was younger. Any of yours come true?" Her sister shrugged.
"I don't know and I don't care." She replied, handing the box over.
"Mine didn't come true either. There weren't many that would come true anyway. Heh, go into an anime. That would've been cool if it'd happened. Imagine. Wouldn't it be cool if we could go into the Soul Eater world?"
"Yeah. It'd be fun to mess with Kid."
"You, maybe, but personally, I don't want to get shot."
"I'd think it'd be worth it."
"Well, not me. I want to keep my body parts intact, thank you. But I'd like to meet Maka. Maybe become friends with her. And we could learn cool fighting techniques." Her sister shrugged, then turned away.
She started to run after her when she stopped and looked down into the box. She reached in and pulled out two stones that'd somehow appeared in the box.
"Um... Rena..." Rena turned, a bored expression on her face.
"What do you want? Afraid of the ity bity spiders?" Rena asked. Her sister shook her head, then held up the stones. The stones glowed despite the lack of light down there. Rena walked over and took a stone. They were identical in every way but the color, which one was blue and one was red.
Rena tried to hand the red stone back to her sister, but it dropped, hitting her sister's hand and bouncing to the floor instead. Her sister dropped her blue stone also. As the two stones hit the floor, they shattered, the blue one into eight pieces, the red one into ten. The sisters gasped as they bent down to pick the shards up.
"Wait, where'd one of the blue shards go?" The older sister asked. "I could have sworn I picked up eight, but I have seven now..." She felt her arm get pinched and turned to her sister. "That hurt! Why'd you do that?!" Rena looked at her in annoyance.
"Do what?"
"Pinch me!"
"I didn't pinch you, Carry." Carry frowned, then turned to look for the blue shard. Her sister turned to leave again.
"Hey! I said I didn't pinch you!" Rena yelled at Carry. Carry turned.
"Now look who's talking. I didn't pinch you either. They stared at each other when they both flinched several times. "OK, I know that wasn't you. But what's pinching me?" They looked around. Rena smiled evilly.
"Maybe it's spiders..." She teased. Carry screeched. She didn't like spiders... Suddenly, the wind picked up around them and they fell through the floorboards, into a blue portal.
"This is definitely not spiders!" Carry yelled as she got sucked into nothingness.
