Chapter 1
*****************************************************************
We are introduced to our heroines, Kate and Amanda. Bored to death of traditional Iliad tales, and by their dull Civ-Lit teachers, both muse (MUSE! HA!) what it would be like if the Iliad ever occurred in real life. (I dunno why I rated this PG-13...I just did. For language. So NEH!)
We see two girls chilling in the choir room at BHS. The weather is shitty, and it looks like a storm is coming. We see two girls. One is a petite with jet black hair (AKA KATE) and the other is a tall brunette with pale skin.(AKA AMANDA) Both are busy: Kate, is drawing, while Amanda is busy rocking out to Led Zeppelin, which is playing on a boom box inside the room.
************************************************************
Kate:-looks up from sketch pad- Hey, Amanda...ever think that...-glares-
Amanda: - Continues to sing along, because she can't hear Kate-Many times I've lied and many times I've listened.......-jams to air guitar-
Kate: AMANDA!!!!!!!!!
Amanda: Oh! Sorry! -Goes to turn boom box off, and promptly falls on her face, and proceeds to take a bow- Ow! I think my sneakers are to big....maybe I'm just a klutz.
Kate: You're reading the Iliad, right? In Civ-Lit?
Amanda: Yeah, I love it, I've read it before.
Kate: This school really MURDERS the Iliad. -She then scribbles on sketch pad, creating a work of art that will eventually sell for more than 1 million dollars-
Amanda: I know. I wonder what it would be like if the Iliad REALLY happened, instead of it being just a myth.....
*The wind picks up and hail begins to fall*
MOOO!
Kate: Did you hear that?!?!
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
All of a sudden, a massive tornado hits the town of Branford. A cow crashes through the wall and knocks both Kate and Amanda unconscious, before landing safely on the abundance of stuffed animals in the corner of the room.
As they wake up, they realize they are not in Branford anymore. The weather too bright, too sunny, and the absence of car dealerships tells them that they are in a place over the hills and far away.
************************************************************************
Amanda: -Rubs head, before proceeding to roll over and lay face down on ground- Ugh. That was painful.....
Kate:-stands up- You're telling me.........Hey, look, the Parthenon!
Amanda:-Stands Up- Oh, I love that Diner!
Kate: Not the Diner, dumbass, the actual PARTHENON! We're in Greece! And it looks like we're in Ancient Greece considering no overweight middle-aged tourists around.
*DUH DUN DUHHH* Proceed to Chapter 2...yeah I know this story blows..*
