Yes, I have written a story like this before, but the main OC in this will be NOTHING like Madison Willis from "Two Worlds, One Life". This is basically a prologue (Even though I never write prologues or epilogues), so we'll be meeting some of the Gintama characters in the next chapter. Well, enjoy!
Chapter 1: Never click on ad's, no matter what they say
I was on the internet, watching the latest episode of Gintama. Actually, it was the last episode for the season (Yes, I was watching Gintama: Enchousen). I was sad that the anime was taking yet another hiatus, and I was hoping that the anime would continue after the second movie came out.
Wait a minute, you want me to introduce myself? Wow, I forgot to do that just now!
Anyway, my name is Christine Wardenhall. I had chest-length light-brown hair, and green eyes. For clothing, I was wearing a light-purple short-sleeved shirt, with a gray jacket, aqua-blue pants, and pink and white tennis shoes.
As I mentioned before, I was on the internet, watching Gintama. I was actually a huge fan of Gintama. It was my all-time favorite anime. What I loved about Gintama was the comedy, the action, and the characters. I had been obsessed with it for over two years, and I didn't think I was ever going to stop loving it.
Yes, I watched other action anime, but what I didn't like about some of them were the long fight scenes. I liked watching characters fight, but anime's such as Bleach or One Piece had fight scenes that were so long (And even when one fight was over, they were playing another fight scene), that they bored me to death.
When I started watching Gintama over two years ago, I thought it was going to be like those two other anime's I just mentioned. But I found out I was completely wrong. Gintama was sometimes episodic, and it didn't always focus on fight scenes. I was pretty glad at that; otherwise it would be yet another boring anime.
I finished watching the last episode of Gintama: Enchousen. I gave out a sigh, and thought, I really hope they won't end the anime when the second movie comes out.
I pulled my headphones off of my ears, and said to myself, "Now what? I'm bored again."
I pouted, but suddenly heard a voice enter my ears.
"Christine! I want you to help me find my book!"
I quickly turned around, and saw my older brother, Sean. Sean had short, brown hair, and also had green eyes. He was wearing a golden yellow short-sleeved shirt, with black linings on the end of the sleeves, black jeans, and white tennis shoes.
A frown appeared on my face, and I replied stubbornly, "Why do I have to? You're the one who lost your stupid book!"
"Don't call my book stupid! For your information, I love that book!"
I rolled my eyes, "Whatever. I'll help you, but don't expect me to find it."
Sean glared at me, but I stood up from my chair, and walked past him.
For the truth, I wasn't actually going to help him find his book. It really was his own fault for losing it in the first place. He should look for it all by himself.
I attempted to go hide in my parents' room, but unfortunately, Sean caught me quickly, and ordered, "Don't even try to hide. Help me look for my book, or else you won't be getting ice cream tonight."
I frowned at him once again, and muttered, "You suck, Sean."
"You always say that," He smirked as he headed down the stairs.
I followed after him, and we searched for his precious book.
We searched for a few minutes, and I looked under the chair, spotting the book. I blankly stared at the book, but pulled it out, and exclaimed, "Hey, grumpy! I found your dumb book!"
Sean glared at me once more, and exclaimed back, "I thought I told you to not call it dumb!"
Without warning my brother, I threw the book at him, and he widened his eyes in shock, but managed to grab it before it hit the ground.
Sean scowled, "Don't you ever throw my book! You may not care, but this is actually one of my all-time favorite books!"
I snickered, "You should be happy it's not broken." I skipped towards the stairs, and started to run up the staircase, but I noticed that Sean was chasing after me.
"You get back here, you little brat!" He growled.
I widened my eyes, and dashed up the stairs. As soon as I was at the top of the staircase, I ran into my room, and closed the door. I chuckled evilly, and thought, Haha, now you won't catch me!
I quickly sat down in my chair, and put my headphones back on. But, I just realized something.
Oh shit, I didn't lock my door.
Right after my thought, Sean opened my door, and gave me a hard glare. I raised a brow, and asked, "You're not going to do anything?"
Sean just cautioned, "I'm going to give you a warning. The next time you decide to throw my book, I'm going to tell dad!"
I rolled my eyes, and went back to my computer as he walked away. Sean was a very serious person, and he tended to boss me around frequently. Sure, he was older than me, but that didn't mean he could push me around, and tell me what to do. He's not our mom…or dad.
I was actually the complete opposite of him, because I was a cheerful person (And I will admit that I'm also childish). I rarely get serious, but when I do, I don't get as serious as Sean. To tell you the truth, he used to be as happy as me when he was a child. But our parents told him to get serious by the time he entered high school, because they once told him, 'If you keep goofing off, you'll never go to a good college, or get a good job'. My parents suck sometimes. They just had to destroy Sean's cheerful mood; he's never cheerful anymore. Such a shame.
Anyway, on my computer, I suddenly saw what looked to be an ad. I arched a brow, and mumbled, reading the words on the "ad", "'Click here if you wish to explore the Gintama world'…"
My eyes widened, and I thought, What the hell?! I've never seen this kind of ad before! Do I dare click it?
I called out my brother, "Sean! Come in here!"
"Huh? Now you want me to come into your room?" He questioned, sounding not too far away from my room.
"Just come in here! I want to show you something!"
Sean groaned, but entered my bedroom anyway. I pointed at the "ad" on the computer screen, and asked him, "Should I click this?"
Sean frowned, and asked back, "Why're you asking me? I don't watch anime."
"I know that. I'm just asking if I should click this. It says 'click if you wish you explore the Gintama world'."
A sigh escaped Sean's lips, and he told me, "Look, if you want to click it, that's fine. But if you get a virus, that's not my problem."
I gazed at the computer screen again, and hesitated before saying, "Let's hope a terrifying face won't pop up…"
I expected Sean to leave, but strangely, he didn't. Maybe he was just as curious as I was, but I was never so sure. He was, like I said, a serious person, after all.
Biting my lower lip, I moved the mouse, and when it was over the "ad", I clicked on it.
At first, nothing happened. I was glad no scary face popped up, but I frowned, and said, "Nothing's happening. This has to be a joke. I'm the one who should be making jokes, not this dumbass ad!"
Sean rolled his eyes, and replied, "First off, that doesn't make any sense. Secondly, no ad would actually 'bring you' into the world of anime."
"I know, but-" Before I could finish my sentence, my computer screen suddenly turned white.
Sean and I widened our eyes as we stared at the screen. I exclaimed, "What the hell?!"
Sean was about to ask me something, but light came out of my computer, and it was starting to suck us in. No, I wasn't kidding you! MY FUCKING COMPUTER WAS SUCKING US IN!
I tried pushing myself back, but the light sucked me even more. I grabbed onto the collar of Sean's shirt, and yelled, "HELP ME, SEAN! I DON'T WANT TO GO INTO MY COMPUTER SCREEN!"
Sean yelled back, "IT'S SUCKING ME IN, TOO! I CAN'T REALLY HELP YOU!"
"YOU SUCK…AGAIN!"
Soon, it sucked both of us in completely, and we were screaming our lungs out.
We were falling down this white portal (Seriously, all we saw right now was white), and I looked at Sean, who was holding his book tightly to his chest.
I yelled again, "YOU'RE STILL HOLDING THAT THING?! I EXPECTED YOU TO DROP IT!"
"HEY, I LOVE THIS BOOK! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY IT?!" Sean hollered.
Just then, we heard a feminine voice.
"Please stop yelling, you two."
My brother and I gasped, and we looked around, trying to find the voice, but we didn't see anybody.
The voice added, "Don't bother trying to look for me."
I frowned, but decided to ask the voice, "What the fuck's happening here?! Tell me that I'm dreaming!"
"Young lady, you're not dreaming. What's happening right now is real."
My lips parted in disbelief, and I told Sean, "Sean, pinch me!"
"Okay," He replied before pinching me on the arm.
I hissed, "Ow!"
"You asked for it."
I glared at him, but the feminine voice said, "Before you ask where you're going, I should let you know that you'll be heading into the Gintama world."
My eyes were as wide as saucers, and I asked, feeling dumbfounded, "G-Gintama world?"
"Yes. You'll be going into the Gintama world."
Sean's jaw dropped in utter shock, and he shouted, "WH-WHY?! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT GINTAMA IS! WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LET CHRISTINE GO?!"
"HEY!" I snapped.
The voice replied, "She pulled you in, so you were practically forced to go with her."
Sean frowned, and held his book tighter as I asked the voice another question, "But why did you decide to suck me into my computer screen?" Although I sounded calm, I demanded an answer.
"Well, you're a huge fan of Gintama, am I wrong?"
"Well, no…"
"Good. I sucked you in, because I could tell that you were wishing to go into the Gintama world. You wanted to know what it would be like in Edo, right?"
"Er, yeah, but how did you know that? Were you stalking me?!"
"No, Christine. I am actually one of the anime gods."
"ANIME GODS?!" Sean and I shouted at the same time. I loved anime with a passion, but this was seriously weird.
The voice responded, "Yes, I am an anime god. As an anime god, I look over millions of anime fans, including you. I've heard you wishing to go into the Gintama world a few times before I decided that now was the time."
Sean questioned in a bit of a stutter, "B-But will we ever go home?!"
"Yes, but not for a while. And I should let you know that time in your world has stopped. That means neither of you will age, even by a second, while you're in the other world."
I scratched my cheek, and asked, "Will I still poop, though?"
"Christine!" Sean exclaimed. "You shouldn't ask her that! That's disgusting!"
The anime god answered my question, anyway, "Although I agree that that's an inappropriate question, I can understand why you decided to ask me that. Yes, you will still need to go to the bathroom, but since you two won't be aging until you return, Christine won't be having periods."
"Really?!" I smiled. "Yay! Now I won't have to suffer through those horrible cramps! Well, until we return home, that is."
Sean frowned, "Christine, I seriously don't want to hear this. I'm a guy, you know."
I didn't reply, but I stuck my tongue out at him. Sean sighed, "Anyway, how long are we going to be in this world of…Gintama?"
"I cannot answer that right now," The voice answered. "But like I said, you'll be there for a while. I also won't tell you HOW you're going to return home, but I will say this. Don't get killed while you're there."
The voice suddenly disappeared. I held my chin, and murmured, "You know, I have been wishing to explore the Gintama world lately, so…" I looked at Sean, and finished, "…this is gonna be awesome!"
No sooner after I said that, we were falling down, faster than ever. Sean screamed, "WAAAAHHH! I DON'T WANNA DIE ALREADY!"
"YOU'RE NOT GONNA DIE!" I informed him. "SURE, WE'RE FALLING DOWN AT A HUNDRED PLUS MILES AN HOUR, BUT WE'LL BE LANDING SAFELY!"
"HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?! WE COULD DIE AT ANY SECOND! AREN'T YOU AT LEAST A BIT SCARED?!"
"NAH, I'M NOT SCARED! I'M NEVER SCARED!"
"CHRISTINE, YOU'RE SCARED OF SPIDERS AND BEES! DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE NOT SCARED!"
"OH, SHUT UP!"
Sean continued to scream. I screamed as well, only I was screaming with excitement.
I couldn't wait to explore the Gintama world. Man, this is gonna be so much fun.
Like I said, we'll be meeting some of the Gintama characters in the next chapter. And I have a question to ask. Do you want me to continue writing this in Christine's POV, or do you want me to write the rest of this story in 3rd POV? I'm thinking about writing the rest of this story in 3rd POV, but I kind of want you to decide also.
I know Christine's very immature, but I'll try to make her at least a little likable.
Hope you enjoyed the first chapter of "Trouble is my Middle Name!"! :)
