Guest: lol I can only write so fast! XD Some days I don't have time to write at all!
Dalek: He was going to ask if I thought it'd be weird if we were to be a couple, since people joke about it all the time anyway.
That Guest Person: lol I'd never hit a kid. That's why I said if she were 18...I've been in my share of scraps before and I'm pretty sure she could fight back lol.
One Turbo-Tastic Day at a Time
"But...we were supposed to go to the movies this weekend."
I immediately felt sick to my stomach. Ahh, I can't believe I forgot about that! We were supposed to go see the new Iron Man movie tomorrow. I guess Turbs could tell by the guilty look on my face that I had in fact forgotten. He was already sitting on the couch and he turned his head away from me and glared at the currently turned-off television, crossing his arms across his chest. Great.
"Aww come on, Turbs, don't be like that," I tried to reason with him. "We can still go Sunday after I come home."
He didn't say anything or even move. Sigh. Fine, if he's going to act like a baby then I'm not going to stick around and deal with it. He flip-flops between acting like a normal person and then going back into "spoiled brat" mode. It's so aggravating! Though I have to admit, it probably is my fault for making him act like this since I did forget about our dat-
NO. It was not ever a date. Just a day out...with my friend...nothing more. I need to get out of here.
"Turbs, please, don't make this difficult," I was partially pleading with him, not wanting to leave with him being mad at me. "I'm sorry this was last minute and I'm sorry I forgot, okay?"
He relaxed his shoulders and turned his head just enough to barely look at me. Then he sighed and looked away again before rubbing his face. "All right, fine, I forgive you."
Phew! I went past the couch and mussed his hair up a little bit, earning a small whine of protest from him. "Thanks, Turbs, see ya Sunday! Don't forget to feed and water Kitty while I'm gone."
"Got it," he said flatly, turning his head to watch me open the door a bit.
"Oh, and if you get really bored, you can do your little essays," I joked at him, not really thinking he would do it. "You can pick the movies. Oh and I'm taking my laptop with me so you can't get online and burn up the cash. Bye!"
I shut the door so I didn't get to see or hear his reaction. I felt immediately relief at being out of the apartment. I was really worried that he was going to hold a grudge. Okay well, guess I'm off to Texas now!
Turbo's POV
Pah! Who does she think she is! Abandoning me for a weekend and then telling me to do homework. She must be out of her mind. I have plenty of other stuff to do besides that. In fact, it'll be nice to have a few days to myself. I never get any alone time. Yeah, I think I'll drive around for a while, then play some video games, then eat and take a nap. I'll just do that 'til she comes home. Ha! Homework. Pfft. Like I'd ever get so bored that I would succumb to doing THAT.
One Hour Later...
My fuel tank was only a quarter full and I'm feeling too lazy to go by the gas station. None of my racing games are appealing to me right now. I need to get some new ones, I've already beaten them all and unlocked all the turbo-tastic bonuses and extras. My eyes wandered to the dvd drawer.
Nah! I'm not that desperate yet. Gonna take a nap now. Don't bug me.
"Blondie's" POV
Well I arrived in Texas A-Okay. Lucky for me, I saved money by going on one of those hotel websites and snagged up a deal on a room. I threw my two bags on the brown thin carpet and inspected my weekend getaway retreat. Typical hotel room: outdated large flowery bedspread that looks like it came from the '80s, bland walls with stains on them that I'm sure I don't know what to know what caused them, a fluorescent lamp that burns too bright in the bathroom, the air conditioner that always runs too cold, and a corded telephone by the bed. The only thing that looks like it came from this century is the big flat screen television. Go figure.
But let's look at the bright side! I get a whole weekend of no responsibilities, antique shopping, and room service! And I can sleep in a bed without having to worry about getting interrupted. Yeah, this is gonna be great.
Except for the whole going to the class reunion thing. Oy. Not sure if I really want to see those people again. I heard my phone buzz and thought that surely Turbs didn't already need to be bothering me about something already. Then again...oh no, it's just Bestie.
Bestie: what up?
Me: in texas for high school class reunion
Bestie: O.o why? we're the same age and my class isnt doing 1 til nxt year?
Me: special circumstances dont ask
Bestie: is turby-kins w/ u? ;)
Me: NO
Bestie: aww he's home alone?
Me: hes a grown man, he can handle it
Bestie: i bet u 2 will miss each other
Me: shut up
I'm not gonna miss the Turbs. Nope. In fact, I won't even text him this whole weekend...unless he texts first of course. No need to be rude.
Turbo's POV
Another Hour Later...
I woke up from my nap feeling remarkably refreshed. Good naps are hard to come by sometimes. I imagine it's time for supper and-
WHAT, it's only been another hour? That means...Blondie's only been gone for TWO HOURS? This is just turbo-freakin-tastic. I'm going to lose my mind if the rest of this weekend goes like this!
My eyes went back to the dvd drawer. Grrrrr! You know what, I forgot I already wrote an essay in secret for Lady and the Tramp. I have the paper hiding under one of the couch cushions. Hehe. She won't ever know that I already did it a long time ago. I'm so smart. I'm glad I thought of doing that.
I wonder how many she wants me to do though? Maybe I should do an extra one just in case she expects me to have more than one done over the weekend.
I sat myself down in front of the cursed dvd drawer, my hand grasping the handle and I pulled the thing open. Wow, she organized these things in order in what year they came out in theatres. She's pretty good at that organizing stuff. She even folds my clothes when they're done drying. They always smell like lavender...
Oh right, the movies. Hmm...Sleeping Beauty. Ha, I bet she just sleeps through the whole thing. Easiest essay ever! That's what I call turbo-tastic!
An Hour and a Half Later...
Riiiiight...I was mistaken in thinking that this was only going to be about some sleeping blondie. Not MY Blondie, that is, but a different one.
So we begin our tale with what looks to be a birthday party for the new princess named Aurora. What is the point of throwing a party for a baby, she's not going to remember it. Anyway, everyone in the kingdom shows up because I guess it's been a while since they've seen a baby and forgot what one looked like. During this thing, Aurora gets betrothed to this little boy named Phillip who is a prince in a neighboring kingdom. Which means they have no choice but to marry each other later on when they are of proper age.
I think that's pretty stupid. What if you grow up and you hate each other? Marriage is supposed to be about love, isn't it? Instead, they're treating it as though it's some property exchange, just giving their kid away like a cow or something. But then, I guess since Disney couples tend to fall in love after a mere THREE DAYS of knowing each other, I guess these arranged marriage victims can just wait 72 hours and then have little hearts floating around them.
Besides getting a husband hand-chosen for her, Aurora (say that five times fast) also gets visited by three grandma-looking fairies that I'm going to call Red, Green and Blue. Red is the leader of the trio and she bestows the gift of...take a wild guess...BEAUTY. So...does that mean she would naturally have grown to be a homely looking girl if not for Red's gift? That's kinda cheating isn't it? Green gives her the gift of song...which means we're probably going to hear her sing in this movie. GREAT. It's Blue's turn to bless the brat when suddenly-
BOOM!
The Mistress of All Evil shows up! Maleficent herself, ladies and gentlemen! Even I am not stupid enough to say anything bad about this broad. She is after all considered one of the leaders of the Disney Villains...wait. Wait wait wait. THIS is the movie she's from? She's from a movie about a sleeping blondie? Are you serious? Huh. Never would've guessed. Oh well.
So Maleficent is ticked off because she didn't get invited to the baby's party. Gee, I don't think I'd be complaining, sister. I'd be GLAD if I got left off the invite list for that particular occasion. But I guess she feels the need to troll people so for punishment, she curses the kid to DIE. Yeah, and it's this kinda crazy scenario too. Basically, when Aurora turns sixteen, she will come across a spinning wheel (whatever THAT is...guess Blondie would know) and she'll prick her finger on the needle part and it will kill her. Wow that's some needle! Why a spinning wheel though? What's so special about that particular furniture? Why not just run her over with a car? Oh wait, they don't have cars yet in this time period.
Anywho, so Maleficent gets away with her strange birthday curse and disappears into thin air. I tell ya, even though I have no clue why she's so upset over not getting an invite to this thing, she definitely knows how to make an appearance. Blue decides to help ease the curse by having Aurora fall into a deep sleep when she pricks her finger and not dying...and she can only wake up with true love's first kiss. Okay is that the only way to break spells? Gah, I can't imagine what would've happened if Vanellope had needed to have a true love kiss. She's freakin' nine years old that would've been odd.
Speaking of her, I guess she isn't so bad...for a little kid. At least I don't have to apologize. That takes a lot of weight off my shoulders.
Anyway, these three fairies aren't as powerful as Mal so that's all they can do. The king orders all the spinning wheels in the kingdom be destroyed...hang on let me Google what that is...
ahh Blondie, you took the laptop! How dare you! Let me text her...
You know what? I WON'T text her. Nope. Not gonna happen. She'll think I can't take care of myself or some malarkey like that. I'll show her!
Um...let me call Blondie's Mom...no, her sister. Mom kinda scares me sometimes. Even though she's kinda hot for her age. Don't tell Blondie I said that...though by saying that, it means Blondie herself is gonna look nice when she gets that old...I'm going to have to edit this thing before I let her read this. Dear sweet Walt. Actually, let me text Blondie's Sis, that's faster...
Five minutes later...
Okay, according to Blondie's Sis, a spinning wheel is what they used to make clothes back then. So in that case, if they destroy all of them, how are they going to make new clothes? They can't run around naked everywhere. Apparently the three fairies see that this plan will not work so they talk the royal couple into giving their brat up and they hide her away in the woods where they all pretend to be peasants for sixteen years, even renaming the baby as "Briar Rose". Wow, what a hippie name. And I know what hippies are because of that creepy store we went in that one time.
We fast forward to sixteen years later and Maleficent is ticked because they can't find Aurora anywhere. Turns out her stupid henchmen have been searching for a BABY the entire time! They weren't taking into account that she aged at all! Gee, what morons. That's how I felt when Wynchell and Duncan couldn't find Vanellope after she got her kart. Dough-headed buffoons...
Anyway, so it's Aurora's sixteen birthday finally and the three fairies shoo her away into the woods to go pick berries so they can work on her cake and new dress. They've been having to do things without magic all these years so Aurora won't learn the truth and now that she's gone, they get a little crazy fighting over how to do things. Aurora, who has grown up to be a lovely young lady that likes to sing to her animal friends (do ALL princesses sing to the animals?!) and she tells them that she dreams of falling in love and that she has a man that visits her in her dreams...
So she dreams that the Boogie Man comes to see her? That's kinda creepy...
Meanwhile, Prince Phillip, who has grown into a handsome young man, hears her singing and eventually finds Aurora. The two of them have no clue that they are the person that they are betrothed to and never even tell each other their names. Well that was stupid. How is he supposed to call you, woman?! They fall in love pretty much immediately...not even gonna comment on the ridiculousness of that...but she freaks out for no reason and runs away to go home and says she can't see him again. Oooookay...so you just throw yourself on the first man you've ever met in your life and then run away? Why are you women so confusing?! We do not understand these games you play!
Okay on the other side of the forest, Maleficent sent her pet raven out to find Aurora instead and the bird gets distracted by the magic fight between the three fairies at their cottage. The raven figures out what is going on and flies off to alert Maleficent of what it found. How? I don't know because the bird doesn't talk. Aurora comes home and starts blabbing about this wonderful man she met in the woods...well if he was so wonderful, why didn't you at least GIVE HIM YOUR NAME. Or at least let him walk you home. Good grief! The fairies realize that they must tell her the truth and she finds out that she is actually a princess and is to wed Prince Phillip. Of course, since she doesn't know her Mystery Man's name, she believes she is marrying a total stranger and is completely heartbroken when she realizes she can never see Mystery Man again...even though she kinda told him that she couldn't ever see him again anyway.
Women. They never know what they want until it's too late.
At the same time, Phillip informs his father that he's in love with a peasant girl and refuses to hear anything his dad has to say on the matter of his betrothal. He then runs off (or rides off on his horse, rather) to go and find the girl's cottage in the woods despite her having told him to stay away. Persistent lad, isn't he? At least he's actively pursuing her instead of No-Name in Snow White's movie. That dude had just wandered up after all the work had been done and stole her away from her dwarf friends. Jerk.
So off they go to the castle! The mood is somber because Aurora believes she has to marry someone she knows nothing about, has to leave the only home she's ever known, gets slammed with the idea that she's royalty, and basically has her life go in the opposite direction that she thought it would go. I know how she feels learning the truth about life in a blunt manner such as that. It sucks.
What also sucks was getting interrupted yesterday. Stupid phone. Oh well, probably for the best. I might have freaked her out or worse, got rejected. That would've been the opposite of turbo-tastic. Besides, she had just got through telling me about some jerk ex-boyfriend of hers, that would've been stupid of me to ask if she-
Never mind.
When the heck does the sleeping blondie go to sleep anyway? Is this another one of those movies that lies to me? I'm looking at YOU, Dumbo. Err, I mean "J.J.", ha.
The fairies STUPIDLY leave Aurora alone in a room in the castle via a hypnotizing green ball of light. Okay now THIS is more like it. This is really creepy to watch. There's no dialogue, just this eerie music and the look on Aurora's face while being entranced is freaky as heck. Maleficent is of course in control of all this and she leads her away up these dark stairwells and magically creates her own spinning wheel. So destroying all of them sixteen years ago did NOTHING. Fools! She's the Mistress of All Evil! You idiots didn't think she'd have her own spinning wheel? You didn't think that she'd assume that you'd destroy all of them? Morons!
Aurora, still in trance mode, touches the needle and BAM. She's out like a light. The fairies show up horrified and Maleficent rubs it in their faces that they're all stupid and that she has won despite everything the fairies have done. The fairies place the now sleeping blondie on a bed in the tower and decide to put everybody else in the castle to sleep until the curse is broken. Not sure why...but anyway, right before he goes to sleep, Phillip's dad is overheard telling Aurora's dad that Phillip fell in love with a peasant girl out in the woods. The fairies realize that Phillip is the guy that Aurora had met in the woods and that neither of them knew who the other was, obviously.
While all this is going on Phillip has been captured by Maleficent's henchmen to prevent him for breaking the spell. No idea how Maleficent found out that Aurora was simply asleep and not dead but...whatever. She throws him in the dungeon of her own castle and taunts him by saying that she will release him when he is an elderly man and too old to have a proper relationship with his love, who he now realizes is really Aurora, the girl he's betrothed too. Wow that really sucks for that guy! His beloved is in danger and he has no way of doing anything about it...all because the crazy lady didn't get an invite to the baby shower. Talk about issues...don't tell Mal I said that, she'll kill me. For real.
The fairies show up, who had used their detective skills to track Phillip down, and they release him from his chains and give him the...listen to this...Sword of Truth and the Shield of Virtue. What in the name of Litwak, are you serious? That is...those are the DUMBEST names for weapons I've ever heard! How about the Sword of I'm-Going-Kill-You-With-The-Pointy-End and the Shield of Haha-You-Can't-Touch-Me? Is the sword going to make her unable to lie or something? When you stab her, if you do, will she spout out truths about the universe? Why is it called that? WHY?
The fairies help Phillip fight his way out of Maleficent's domain and heads for the castle to save the sleeping blondie. Mal is outraged at this and surrounds the entire castle with giant thorn bushes. He fights his way through them with ease thanks to his trusty TRUTHFUL sword and this only makes Mal more angry. She shows up in person to deal with him herself and-
TURNS INTO A DRAGON! Holy codes, that is turbo-tastic! Look at that, she looks AWESOME. And she even declares that she's got the powers of HELL on her side! Does any other Disney Villain have that privilege? Well, except that Hades jerk...I'm still mad at that guy...but yeah, she has everything going for her until-
Phillip stabs her in the heart with the Toothpick of Truth. And she dies. Well. That was rather anti-climatic. She had the powers of Hell to use, couldn't she have made her dragon skin impenetrable?
Regardless, I like this Phillip guy more than Prince No-Name from Snow White's movie. At least this dude does something besides show up and sing and then kiss a chick he thought was dead. Speaking of that, Phillip runs up the tower steps and does the true love kiss thing and wakes the sleeping blondie up. See, this guy already knew that she wasn't dead so it's not gross that he kisses her awake. Oh and since they are obviously each others' true loves, otherwise she would've stayed asleep, they get married and the castle wakes up and everyone lives happily ever after. The end.
Well, it was better than Snow White's movie. Even though Maleficent's reasons for wanting Aurora dead was dumber than the Nameless Queen's reason for wanting Snow dead. But Mal is cool because she turned into a DRAGON and not some lame old hag. And at least the two lovebirds did more than just speak two words to each other before falling in love, even if it did happen fast. Yeah. It wasn't that bad I guess.
I wonder what Blondie's doing...not the sleeping one, the other one. I haven't heard from her in a while. I thought she'd at least let me know she got there okay.
Meanwhile, in Texas...
"Blondie's" POV
Room service is awesome! Okay, not really, all I did was order pizza and they delivered it here. I consider that the same thing. I wonder what the Turbs is up to? I guess he's all right or else he would've called or texted. I'm kind of surprised he hasn't yet. Fine, two can play at that game. I can ignore him just as well as he can ignore me, so ha!
Let's see what should I do today? Class Reunion isn't until tomorrow evening. Hmm. I don't really feel like venturing out and going shopping just yet. I'll probably do that tomorrow morning so I won't be so jittery before the reunion starts. I'm kinda nervous about seeing those people again. Maybe I can leave it early and no one will notice.
Guess I'll use the hotel wi-fi and do my usual online surfing. That should kill a lot of time.
I can't believe that jerk hasn't even texted me at all. I guess that's my "punishment" for ditching him this weekend. Well, I'd already apologized and said we could do the movie thing on Sunday so he can just get over it.
Several Hours Later...
Turbo's POV
This is driving me crazy. I'm actually WORRIED now. What if she had an accident or something and she CAN'T call? What if she's in a ditch somewhere in a coma? I know that's a terrible thing to think but I've been in plenty of crashes before and I'm not sure if she has.
Blondie's POV
You know what, what if the reason he hasn't called or anything is because he can't? Great, now I'm worried. I can feel myself get into panic attack mode. Did I ever show him how to use the fire extinguisher? Or give him a list of emergency contact numbers in case the plumbing goes out or something equally terrible?
No no no, do not even think about contacting him first! Don't do it. Don't.
Buzz Buzz Buzz
My heart leapt in my throat when I heard my phone go off. And I'd be lying if I said I didn't almost trip out of the chair I was sitting in at the breakfast table in the room and tear my purse apart looking for my phone. Ha, I knew he couldn't last a day without talking to me! Little punk.
Sis: u make it 2 texas ok?
I felt my heart sink all the way to my stomach. "Disappointed" would be an understatement at how I felt in that moment.
Me: yeah
I threw my phone back in my purse, sighing dejectedly. Wait, why am I getting so upset about this? I came out here to get away from Turbs, not to worry about him and expect phone calls or whatever. I'm feeling rather stupid now. He's a big boy, he can handle himself. Why would he bother contacting me if he didn't need anything anyway?
I'm going to bed and hopefully wake up with a sane mind.
You know, it's eerily lonesome being in this strange place by myself.
Turbo's POV
Buzz Buzz Buzz
FINALLY! It's about time. I got a good mind not to even reply to it due to all the worry and stress she put on me.
Random Idiot: hey dude wassup?
Wrong number. Of course. Figures. I'm both disappointed and angry at the same time.
Me: wrong number, meathead
Random Idiot: oh. well who is this then?
Me: I'm the person that's gonna infect your phone with a virus if you don't bug off, loser
I didn't hear from him again.
I feel like an idiot. Of course she isn't going to talk to me because she has no reason to. Whatever, I don't care. I'm getting to deep into this. I need to go to bed. Leave me alone.
It's kinda lonely in here without another person around.
