My House
I was having a very nice dream. I was with my friends, old and new, but then it turned
sour.
I saw them, taken away from me and changed.
I saw a figure beginning to form..."Who are you?" I demanded.
Before the figure showed himself, I awoke.
"WAKE UP!" Charmy shouted, shaking me violently.
"Hey, I'm up, I'm up." I said, although I didn't mind her shaking me so.
"Yeah, right. You know you enjoyed it. Just so you know, your the last one to wake, so
who knows what you're going to eat for breakfast."
It was my house, but jeez, she was acting like it was her's too.
"They way you act, its like we're married."
She just gave me that charming smile and headed downstairs.
"What did that dream mean?" I said outloud, walking down the stairs.
"I told you he was crazy." Rage said, "Look, he's talking to himself."
"You know, when you say something, it's best if the person doesn't hear it." I said,
giving Rage a decent punch.
"Besides, I'm letting you stay here. The least you can do is give me some credit."
"I think it's just so you can be with Charmy." Johnny said.
".....whatever, I'll let it slide this time."
I made my way to the fridge as quickly as possible, as I was turning a few shades red.
Charmy couldn't help but laugh seeing me like this.
"Be quiet Charmy, I may not see you, but I know you're laughing."
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
"Who could that be?" Emi said.
"Wait here, I'll find out."
I walked to the door, lightsaber in hand.
I hoped it really wasn't G.U.N.'s goons.
I opened the door and........
it was Sonic.
I fell down.
"What's wrong?" Sonic asked.
I stood up, "Nothing's wrong. What's up?"
"This came for you." he said, handing me a package.
"What the heck is it?" I said, walking into the living room.
"Uh, who's here?" Sonic asked.
"You wouldn't beleive me if I told you."
"Wait...I know, dude did you finally find someone?"
"Well, kinda, more like they found me."
"They?"
The DDR Crew picked that moment to walk out.
"Uh? Ryan? Am I seeing things?" Sonic said, pointing at them.
Emi was the first to notice Sonic.
"Oh, he's so cute!" she said, running and picking Sonic up, giving him a tight hug.
"Hey, come on, let go!" Sonic shouted.
Emi dropped him on the ground.
"You can talk?"
"No, you think. I'm not some pet, so please don't do that again."
"Sorry, care to explain what's going on?" Emi said, looking at me.
"Oh, I guess you guys don't know about my Earth too much. Besides humans, anthropomorphic animals coexist with us."
"Anthropomorphic?" Johnny said.
"It means human-like." Sonic explained.
"Oh, okay so whatcha got there?" Emi asked.
"Let's see." I said, opening the box.
Inside was some sort of glove, some gold chips shaped like DDR arrows, two cards, and
a video tape.
"Well, put the tape in and let's see what's on it."
I put the tape in and hit play.
On screen appeared the creator of DDR: Maximillian Konamison
"Greetings, and welcome. This is an invitation to the biggest and greatest DDR tournament the world has ever seen.
You have been selected as one of the few to participate in this game. Hmmm, it seems
there are more players then I had thought. I can easily fix that though."
The next thing we know, Maximillian snaps his fingers and enough gloves and arrows appear for each of us.
"Okay, did anyone else find that weird?" Rage asked.
"Do not worry, the details are on the enclosed card. And Ryan, I'll be looking forward
to meeting you the most. Farewell till then."
The tape shut off and we just stood there.
"So," I said, breaking the silence, "should we go?"
"It sounds like fun." Emi said.
"I'm always up for a challenge." Sonic said.
"This guy seems good, he might be a challenge." Rage said.
"You can count on our support...bzzt." Konsento said for both him and Zukin.
"Well, that just leaves you Charmy." I said.
"...well, I'd hate to be the only one not to go...I'm in."
"All right, we leave for....uh, what's the card say?"
Everyone fell over at me saying this.
"It says we meet at the Pier noon tommorow to take a feery to the DDRist Kingdom." Charmy said.
"Well, then we leave for the DDRist Kingdom tommorow."
This was going to be an interesting adventure, but something bothered me....
...how did Konamison know my name and it almost seemed as if he was contacting directly.
I had a feeling that this was going to be one hell of an adventure.....
