Ahem: This is a remake of the story Tsuresara, which many, many people liked. However, we (do0m and I) feel this was one of our weaker fics, after writing Then There Were None. So we have decided to rewrite the entire story!
Note: The basic storyline may be extended, characters will change, and the overall wording/progression will be different. If you would like to cling to the fluff of the original, go ahead. We will keep that one up too however, we are going to try to add a degree of realism, as well as kill the inherent evils of the Mary-Sue.
The sun was merciless; Alexia shielded her eyes from the heat, fanning herself. Even the short walk to her best friend's house made her sweat. Especially since Alexia was wearing sleeves (though, thankfully, not long).
Wiping her forehead for what must have been the fifth time in one minute, Alexia hurried to the door of Lane's house. Basking in the shade for a few moments, Alexia opened the door, knowing she needed no invitation. "Lane! Mops!"
"Don't call me that!" Moppet huffed, staring at her Nintendo screen.
"Tough love." Alexia replied, rubbing Moppet's head. "Where's Lane?"
"In the kitchen." Moppet licked her lips. "Do you think she's making more... CAKE?"
Alexia rolled her eyes, chuckling. "We need to talk about your dietary plans, Moppet. Because I can tell you've already had three or more pieces of cake today."
Lane poked her head around the doorway to the kitchen. "We need to talk about yours, Alexia Tyra Johnson! You're too skinny! We're in puberty!" She said with a scowl.
"Not everybody can eat like a bear and still maintain proper weight levels. That will forever be your talent." Alexia pointed out.
"Excuses excuses." Lane walked into the living room, wearing an apron covered in flour. Wiping her hands on the apron, she ruffled Alexia's hair.
"I told you, don't do that." Alexia muttered. "I hate having to redo ponytails." She quickly untied her hair, combing it with her fingers before placing it back in its usual ponytail.
"Yep, that's why it's so much fun!" Lane insisted. A timer rang and Lane shot back into the kitchen. A moment later she presented a large cake. "White chocolate almond, anyone?"
"OHHHH! ME, ME!" Moppet squealed, running forward.
"She's had enough sugar." Alexia said. "Why don't we just have a whipped cream fight?"
"Sorry, my parents said no more fights with whipped cream until we start paying for it." Lane replied, apologetic.
"Damn it." Alexia cursed, flopping onto the couch. "I'm officially bored. Doctor Who doesn't return until Christmas, and everything fun is reserved for the school year."
"Touché." Lane admitted, putting the cake down and sitting down on a chair. She grabbed the remote, turning on the T.V.
"Can we play Legos? Pretty please?" Moppet begged.
"No." Alexia and Lane chorused.
"We played that for a month." Alexia groaned, lying on the couch upside-down. "I can only be a Jamaican advisor for so long."
"But you ALMOST got Lane to laugh! Try again, please?" Moppet insisted.
Sighing, Alexia morphed her voice. "'Eh, mon! Tryin' to cut us a bad deal, mon?"
Moppet burst out laughing, while Lane was forced to cover her mouth to prevent the other two from seeing the corners of her mouth twitch. "She is! She is!" Moppet yelled, laughing.
"Quit it, both of you." Lane scolded, though she used an amused tone.
"Well, that cured the boredom for about..." Alexia checked her watch. "Thirty seconds."
"Ah well." Lane murmured, sinking into the couch.
"I can provide entertainment!" Moppet put in.
"How? Can we throw the cake at you?" Alexia muttered.
"Hey! No wasting perfectly good cake!" Lane fired back.
"No, here!" Moppet took out her ancient, flip cell phone and began fiddling with wires.
"Yeah right." Alexia whispered, staring at the ceiling.
Lane ignored both until she realized her sister was crossing several wires from her phone's charger and the T.V. She paled when Moppet plugged the wire into the T.V. and started to plug the other end into her phone. "MOPPET, DON'T-"
It was too late. Moppet plugged in the wires, and there was a rush of wind as a portal opened in the T.V. The three girls had barely a moment of clarity before they were sucked into the portal.
In a different dimension...
The portal opened, spitting the three girls into a forest near twilight. All were unconscious until Alexia groaned. "Moppet, I'm going to murder you."
"No, you're not." Lane replied, grunting. She rose, holding her chest. "Ouch."
"Sorry." Moppet squeaked, getting up as well before looking at the others. "AHHHHHHH! WE'RE LEGO! AHHHHHH-"
Moppet's scream was cut off, as Alexia slammed a branch from the ground into Moppet's face, who passed out.
"Did you have to do that?" Lane asked, raising her eyebrow.
"Yes. Do you have anything in your pockets?" Alexia responded. "We'll need everything we've got."
Nodding, Lane drug into her pockets. She frowned slightly, trying to get to the bottom of her pockets but failing. Finally, she put her entire arm into the pocket, grunting before producing a short broadsword. "Um... that breaks the laws of physics, right?"
"Let me try!" Alexia searched her own pockets before producing a katana along with its sheath. "Sweet! Anything else?"
Lane got to the bottom of her pockets, producing a bottle with a green skull, another short sword, and a few coins. "What kind of poison is this?" Lane murmured, trying to find a label.
"Let's not find out. First off, it's getting dark." Alexia noted. "Wake up Moppet and see if you can find somewhere for shelter. Or a source of water."
"On it." Lane picked up Moppet, giving her a quick piggyback.
A few hours later, Alexia returned with a plump rabbit and a few wild plants. "Anyone know how to skin a rabbit?"
"Uh... kind of?" Lane replied, grabbing the rabbit. She took out a sharp knife and after making several holes in the skin managed to separate meat from skin. Moppet took a bucket filled with water, and the trio cooked the rabbit and plants over a small fire.
"Okay, we're in some weird dimension where we're Lego, the laws of physics don't apply to our pockets, and we have about zero ideas on where we are." Alexia said, finishing her soup.
"Not very heartening." Lane noted, gulping down her soup. "Although I think we can all agree to blame Moppet."
"Hey!" Moppet protested.
"You crossed the wires, and you were the one who sent us here." Lane pointed out.
"Speaking of which, shouldn't we be in a T.V. show?" Alexia asked.
"Ooh! If we're in Doctor Who, I can meet a Dalek!" Lane squealed.
"Lane, even if we were in Doctor Who we would be on some random planet and not Lego. There would be a very small likelihood of us meeting the Doctor." Alexia told her.
"Way to crush my dream." Lane mumbled.
"Lane, I don't wanna meet a Dalek!" Moppet whimpered.
"Ditto. I plan to live to the age of, say, sixty?" Alexia put in.
"Fiiiiiine." Lane pouted.
"Listen, until we know exactly where we are, we'd better take watches. I'll go first." Alexia got up, leaning against the cave entrance. She took out her katana, looking at it.
Wonder if our Lego game physics apply here. Alexia murmured. Worth a shot, I suppose.
She concentrated on her sword, and after a moment water burst forth from the blade. Alexia yelped, and the water fell from the katana, splattering onto the ground. Lane ran outside, looking at Alexia. "Everything alright?"
"I think... I think water just burst out from my sword." Alexia replied, confused but smiling.
"Wow... Lego physics are here..." Lane murmured.
"Oh! Do I have powers, do I have powers?" Moppet squealed.
"Um... try concentrating. If you feel something, that's good." Alexia explained.
Moppet closed her eyes then shouted. "I feel it! I feel-" She burped, and dropped her head, ashamed.
"Well..." Alexia murmured, raising her eyebrow. "I don't think that counts."
"Aw." Moppet pouted. She sat on the ground, hanging her head. "What can I control?"
"We'll find out tomorrow. The sun's setting." Alexia replied, shielding her eyes.
"Huh... it's not that bright..." Moppet whispered, squinting. The sun flashed brightly, and all three girls were forced to close their eyes as they were wreathed in light.
"Okay..." Lane groaned, rubbing her eyes. "Be careful with that, would you?"
"S-sure." Moppet said, nodding. Moppet and Lane returned to the cave, while Alexia sat down.
Well... this has been an eventful day. She thought to herself. But when I said I wanted to not be bored, this isn't what I meant. Alexia sighed. We'll need to be careful.
