Author's note,
Sorry for the delay. I'm been kinda busy the past few days. But here's the chapter!
Enjoy!
Chapter 2: Namine
One morning, in a nearby village, a young girl walked out of a cottage. She had blond hair and blue eyes and wore a white sleeveless lace dress and white sandals. Her name was Namine. As she crossed the bridge leading to the village, she began to sing.
Namine: Little town, it's a quiet village
Everyday, like the one before
Little town, full of little people
Waking up to say
Once she arrived in the village, various villagers opened the windows of their house to say:
Bonjour!
Bonjour!
Bonjour, bonjour, bonjour!
Namine: There goes the baker with his tray like always
The same old bread and rolls to sell
Every morning, just the same
Since the morning that we came
To this poor provincial town
Sophie arrived at Sam's bakery and Sam (Jimmy Neutron) greeted her, "Morning, Namine!"
"Good morning, Sam," Namine replied.
"Where ya off to?" He asked.
"The book shop," Namine said. "I just finished the most wonderful story about a island princess and a shapeshifting demi-god and-"
But Sam wasn't really listening, as he said, "Yeah, that's nice, yeah." Then he called, "Gertrude! The baguettes, hurry up, yeah!"
Namine shrugged and walked off.
Patty and Selma (The Simpsons): Look, there she goes
That girl is strange, no question
Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?
Mrs. Fowl (Jimmy Neutron): Never part of any crowd (Skwak!)
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew: Cause her head's up on some cloud (accidentally cutting off half of Beaker's hair, who double takes in surprise.)
Villagers: No denying she's a funny girl,
That Namine
As the villager sang, Namine hitched a ride on a wagon driven by Kristoff.
Kristoff: Hello
Anna: Good day
Kristoff: How is your family?
At the butcher shop…
Meg: Hello
Mung Daal: Good day
Meg: How is your wife?
Mung's grouchy wife, Truffles, glared at him in annoyance and then whacked him one upside the head with a rolling pin. Schnitzel just rolled his eyes and continued carrying a box of food.
Gloria (Madagascar): I need six eggs!
Rolf: That's too expensive
Namine: There must be more than this provincial life
Once the wagon arrived at the bookshop, Namine hopped off and entered it, greeted by a large man named Hagrid.
"Hello, Namine," Hagrid said.
"Good morning, Hagrid," Namine said. "I came to return the book I borrowed."
"Blimey! Yer finished already?"
Namine began to scan the shelves, as she said, "I couldn't put it down. Have you got anything new?"
"Not since yesterday." Hagrid said with a chuckle.
"That's alright," Namine said. "I'll borrow…" She found a book and took it off the shelf, as she said, "This one."
"That one," Hagrid said. "But yer read it twice!"
"Well, it's my favorite," Namine said. "Far off places, daring swordfights, magic spells, a prince in disguise!"
"Well, Namine," Hagrid said, giving the book to her, "if yer likes it all that much, it's yers."
"But sir," Namine said.
"Oh, I insists," Hagrid said.
"Thank you," Namine said, as she left the shop and passed Ed, Double D, and Eddy. "Thank you very much! Your bookstore make our corner of the world so big."
Ed, Double D, and Eddy: Look, there she goes
That girl is so peculiar!
I wonder if she's feeling well
Women: With a dreamy far-off look
Men: And her nose stuck in a book
Villagers: What a puzzle to the rest of us is Namine
Namine sat on the edge of a fountain, surrounded by sheep and a dog named Bitzer (Shaun the Sheep) and reading through her book.
Namine: Oh! Isn't this amazing?
It's my favorite part because you'll see
She then showed the sheep and dog a page with an illustrated picture.
Namine: Here's where she meets Prince Charming
But she won't discover that it's him Till Chapter 3
Suddenly, the sheep and Bitzer left as a farmer led them off while shouting in a bunch of gibberish.
As Namine walked off and continued reading her book, she passed the hat shop where Fru Fru and her dad, Mr. Big, were trying out different hats.
Fru Fru: Now, it's no wonder that her name means beauty
Her looks have got no parallel
Mr. Big: But, behind that fair facade
I'm afraid she's rather odd
Very different from the rest of us
Villagers: She's nothing like the rest of us
Yes, different from the rest of us is Namine
Above the village, a flock of geese were flying. Suddenly, one of them was shot and fell to the ground.
Down below, a weasel with brown fur, a dark brown nose, red eyes, and an white sleeveless shirt and black shorts with red-and-white stripes named Duke Weaselton yelled, "I've got it! I've got it, Hydron!" as he ran over and opened a sack for the goose to fall in. Unfortunately, he was a little off on where the goose landed, so it landed behind him. "Ah well," Weaselton shrugged, before he put the goose in the sack and said, "Wow, you didn't miss a shot, Hydron! You's th' greatest hunter in th' whole world!"
In the shadows, a teenage boy with green hair, and violet eyes wearing a brown jacket with no sleeves with a white shirt underneath with it black pants, and black fingerless gloves, who was obviously Hydron, blew the smoke away from a gun he was holding and said, as he came out, "I know."
"No beast alive stands a chance against ya," Duke Weaselton said, carrying Hydron's latest kill while following him. "Not to mention any girl fer that matter." He chuckled at that last remark.
"It's true, Weaselton," Hydron said. "And as a matter of fact, I've got my sights set on that one."
On 'that one,' he gestured to Namine, who was standing at a grocery stand.
"Wait, you means th' inventor's granddaughter?" asked Weaselton.
"She's the one," Hydron said with a smile. "The lucky girl I'm going to marry!"
"B-But she's," Duke Weaselton began.
"The most beautiful girl in town," Hydron interjected.
"Well, yeah, I knows, but-" Weaselton began, only to yelp in pain as Hydron's gun hit him in the face.
"And that makes her the best," Hydron continued. "And don't I deserve the best?"
"Well, yeah, of course ya do," Weaselton said, "but what I mean to sez is-"
Then Hydron began to sing.
Hydron: Right from the moment
When I met her, saw her
I said she's gorgeous and I fell
Hydron smirked, as he looked at his reflection in a pot, while failing to notice Namine passing him.
Here in town, there's only she
Who is beautiful as me
So I'm making plans to woo and marry Namine
Noticing Namine had left and was walking into the crowd, Hydron immediately began to follow her and passed three girls named Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze, and Sonata Dusk.
Adagio, Aria, and Sonata: Look there he goes
Isn't he dreamy
Mr. Hydron
Oh, he's so cute!
Be still, my heart
I'm hardly breathing
He's such a tall, dark, strong and handsome brute
As Hydron tried to get to Namine through the crowd, Namine easily walked through.
Villagers: Hello
Pardon
Good day
Mais oui
You call this bacon?
What lovely grapes
Some cheese
Ten yards
One pound
I'll get the knife
Hydron: Excuse me
Please let me through
Villagers: This bread
These fish
It's stale
They smell
Madam's mistaken
Namine: There must be more than this provincial life
Hydron: Just watch
I'm going to make Namine my wife
However, the villagers bunched up again, blocking Hydron from Namine. He struggled to find a way to Namine, before he climbed up onto the roof a nearby house.
Villagers: Look, there she goes
That girl is strange but special
A most peculiar young girl
It's a pity and a sin
She doesn't quite fit in
She really is a funny girl
A beauty but a funny girl
She really is a funny girl
That Namine
Bonjour
Bonjour
Bonjour, bonjour, bonjour, bonjour
Once Namine had reached the edge of town, she stopped and looked back, but the villagers went back to their business and Namine went back to her book. Just then, Hydron jumped in front of her.
"Hello, Namine," he said.
"Hello, Hydron," Namine replied, before Hydron took the book from her, much to her annoyance. "Hydron, may I have my book, please?"
"How can you read this?" Hydron said, looking through her book. "There's no pictures!"
"Well, there's a little something people use called imagination," Namine replied.
Hydron tossed the book aside and it landed in the mud.
"Namine," he said, "it's about time you got your head out of those books and start paying attention to more things-" here, he gave her a flashy smile, "like me." Adagio, Aria, and Sonata sighed romantically.
Namine knelt down and began to clean her book up, as Hydron added, "The whole town's talking about it. It's not right for a girl to read. Soon, she gets ideas…and then she starts thinking."
"Hydron," Namine said, once she had finished cleaning her book up and got up, "you are positively primeval."
"Why, thank you, Namine," Hydron said, putting a hand around her shoulder. "How about we walk down to the tavern and have a look at my hunting trophies?"
"Maybe some other time," Namine suggested, as Hydron led her away.
"What's wrong with her?" Adagio said in disbelief.
"She's crazy," Aria said, agreeing with Adagio.
"He's gorgeous," Sonata said happily.
Namine broke away from Hydron and said, "Please, Hydron, I can't. I have to get home and help my grandfather. Good-bye."
Weaselton, who had caught up to Hydron, burst into laughter and said, "Ha! That crazy old loon! At his age, he needs all the help he can get!"
Hydron and Weaselton laughed, until Namine said, angrily, "Don't talk about my grandfather that way!"
"Yeah," Hydron snapped at Duke Weaselton, taking Namine's side, "don't talk about her grandfather that way!" before he conked the weasel on the head.
"My grandfather's not crazy!" Namine said. "He's a genius!"
No sooner had she said that, an explosion occurred at the cottage and Namine quickly ran back to the house, as Hydron and Duke Weaselton laughed and Hydron slapped Weaselton on the back, causing the weasel to fall over.
As Namine ran, she passed some kids and animals who were minding their own business.
The first kid was a boy with blue eyes and brown hair in a swirling hairdo, wears a red shirt with a yellow neutron symbol in the middle, blue jeans, and white sneakers. His name was Jimmy Neutron. Beside him was a robot dog. His name was Goddard.
The second and third kids were boys as well . The second boy had tan skin and dark spiky brown hair. His eyes were brown, wore a turquoise ringer Ultra Lord t-shirt, black jeans, and a pair of turquoise and white hi-top sneakers. His name was Sheen Estevez, one of Jimmy's best friends. The third boy was a fat boy with peach skin and many freckles. He has a pair of small black eyes and red hair. He wears an orange-and-red-striped shirt, a pair of green pants (shown with suspenders), a pair of brown loafers, and glasses. His name is Carl Wheezer, another one of Jimmy's best friends.
The last two kids were both girls. The fourth girl had yellow hair made in a ponytail, green eyes, wore a striped fading-green halter shirt, lavender-pink Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars, and khaki pants. Her name was Cindy Vortex. The other girl was an African American girl with black hair, brown eyes, and wore a pink shirt, blue flared jeans and brown shoes. She was Libby Folfax, Cindy's best friend.
The animals with them were three cows, one male and two females, a mouse, a pig, a dog, a rooster, and a ferret.
The male cow had white fur with black spots and blue eyes. His name was Otis. The first female cow had light tan fur with dark tan spots, blue eyes, blonde hair that was braided with a purple ribbon at the end, and wore earrings. Her name was Abby, Otis's girlfriend. The second female cow had light brown fur with dark brown spots. She had a tuft of black hair, green eyes, and wore a ear tag on one of her ears. Her name was Bessy.
The mouse that was on Otis's shoulder had blue eyes and mainly has bluish-gray fur and has whitish-grey fur on his stomach. His name was Pip and he was Otis's best friend.
The pig had blue eyes and was pink. His name was Pig.
The dog was a white Border Collie with black spots and splotches on his forehead and half of his back and light brown eyes. His name was Duke.
The rooster was a skinny Rhode Island red rooster with blue eyes. His name was Peck.
The ferret had yellow fur, red eyes, red nose, and a crazy look on his face. His name was Freddy.
These guys and animals lived in the same town, and were Namine's friends as well. When they saw the explosion, they quickly got up and rushed after their friend.
Once Namine and her friends arrived at home, she opened the cellar and cringed as smoke poured out. In the basement, a short old man with white hair, a thick white mustache, and black eyes wearing a white shirt, an orange hoodie, orange shorts and an orange and blue striped jester hat named Makarov was stuck in a barrel, before he hopped around, freeing himself from the barrel. Near him was a strange contraption.
Namine coughed, as she and her friends went in and she said, "Grandpa?"
When Namine was little, her parents had died. So Makarov took her in and raised her well.
"Now, how did that happen?" Makarov muttered in frustration. "Doggone it!"
He proceeded to pull the barrel off his waist, along with his pants.
"I'll pretend I didn't see that." Otis said.
"Are you alright, grandpa?" asked Namine as her grandpa pulled his pants back up.
"I'm fine, but I'm about ready to give up on this hunk of junk," Makarov said, giving the machine a good kick.
"You always say that," Namine said.
"I mean it this time," Makarov said. "I'll never get this boneheaded contraption to work!"
"Yes, you will," Namine said, "and you'll win first prize at the fair tomorrow." But Makarov refused to listen, until Namine added, "Not to mention become a world famous inventor."
"You really believe that?" asked Makarov, with a raised eyebrow.
"I always have," Namine replied, "and so have all of my friends."
Her friends all nodded in agreement, except Sheen, who looked at his friends in confusion. "We do?"
Libby elbowed Sheen and he realized what they were talking about.
"Oh, yeah! We do!" Sheen said with a smile.
"Well then, what are we waiting for?" Makarov said with a smile. "I'll have this thing fixed in no time." He slid under the machine and said, "Jimmy, hand me that dog-legged clincher there…" Jimmy handed the tool to Makarov, who then asked Namine, "So, did you have a good time in town today?"
"I got a new book," Namine said, before she asked, "Grandpa, do you think I'm...odd?"
That caught Makarov's attention, as he said, "My granddaughter? Odd? Where would you get an idea like that?"
"Well, I don't know," Namine replied. "It's just I'm not sure I fit in here. There's no one I can really talk to."
"What about that Hydron?" Makarov asked. "He's a handsome fellow!"
Goddard made a throwing up noise at the mere mention of Hydron.
"Oh, he's handsome alright," Namine said, "not to mention rude and conceited and…Oh, grandpa, I just don't think he's the right one for me."
"Well, don't you worry," Makarov said. "This invention's going to be the start of a new life for us." He then came out from under the machine, as he said, "I think that's done it. Now, let's give it a try."
He started the machine up and it whirred to life, making Makarov and the others plug their ears as Namine braced herself. But the machine worked smoothly and chopped a block of wood, flinging it onto a pile of firewood.
"It works!" Namine said.
"It does?" Makarov said, unplugging his ears, and the others did the same. Makarov dodged a flying log and then said, "It does!"
"Huzzah!" Sheen said in joy. "We're rich, I tell you! Rich!"
"You did it!" Namine said, happily. "You really did it!"
"Hitch up Mudsdale, Namine," Makarov said. "I'm off to the fair!"
But then, two logs flew towards him and Sheen, bonking them on the head and knocking them out.
A while later, Namine and her friends saw Makarov off, as they waved to him and Namine said, "Good-bye, grandpa! Good luck!"
"Good-bye, Namine!" Makarov called, as he rode off on Mudsdale, who was hitched to the wagon carrying the machine. "Take care while I'm gone!"
What Makarov didn't know was that his plans were about to take a complete 180...
