A/N: Hi everyone! Sorry for everyone who thought that was
the last chapter, but, well, it's not! I'm a LONG way from being done with
this. But anyway, I have Jade here with me today!
Jade: Why did you bring me here?
MT: Because, I created you, and I can do whatever I want with you *evil grin*
Jade: -_-; Whatever, can I get back to my story now?
MT: No! I'm not done with you yet!
Jade: What now!?
MT: A reviewer says that you are 'very selfish, pushy, tackless and a show-off' What
do you have to say about this?
Jade: First off, I would like to say thanx *bows* I try *grins* However I doubt
that was meant to be a complement, in which case I would like to say {censored}
And they spelled tactless wrong! Geez!
MT: o.O Jade! Who said you could talk like that!?!?
Jade: Uhh… apparently not the censors *points up*
MT: Good! (I think I'm starting to agree, pushy, tactless…)
Jade: You'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking *Gives
MiyokoTribal the death glare*
MT: I do have a backspace button you know *hovering her finger menacingly over
it* Jade: No! Don't delete
me! I'll be good! I promise!
MT: Good, now get back to your story.
Jade: Yeah, yeah…
~*~*~*~*~
Jade sat staring blankly at her room; she still held the Playstation's wire in her hand.
"W-what? What happened?"
The true realization hit her when the wire shocked her again, it was still held
firmly to her small T.V. She let out a small yelp and let go, that's when she
knew, she was really back home…
(But, was it all just a dream? I wish
I'd never woken up…)
A pain in her hand caused her to flinch, she lifted her hand and examined her
palm, the same place she'd been cut by that dagger. The cut was still there, on
her right hand. It was deep, and cut from just below her index finger, diagonal
down to the opposite end of her palm.
"It… It wasn't a dream!?" She gasped
and touched her cheek where the ice had cut her, and it was still bleeding.
She jumped to her feet, and ran downstairs,
where her father was having breakfast.
"Dad! Dad, what day is it!?"
**** Jade's P.O.V ****
"It's Monday, you're gonna be late for
school… did you put that thing away?"
I couldn't believe it… it was the same day! Didn't he notice my cuts though? Or
the dagger I'd stuck through the belt loop in my jeans?
"Umm, Dad?" He looked up at me. "Er… my
hand really hurts…" I held up my hand and showed him the cut.
"Put some ice on it." And that was all
he said! I had this huge gash in my hand and all he can say is 'put ice on it.'
I didn't even bother with ice, the
truth is that I was just trying to get out of going to school; the cut didn't
even hurt anymore.
"Why'd I have to come back…?" And why'd
I have to go to school!? That's the last thing I wanted to do after coming back
from Gaia! School… the place I most hated… well, at least I could tell my
friends about what happened, not that they'd believe me, but I didn't care. I
had to tell someone.
When I finally got to school, I
realized how dull everything was. Boring color, boring people, nothing ever
changed…
"I gotta get outta here…"
All day in class I didn't pay attention to anything the teachers said, I was
too busy thinking about a world I'd probably never go back to.
At lunch I met up with my friends. I wasn't hungry, so I
just sat there the whole time, waiting for everyone else to finish their lunch
so I could tell them what happened… but how come no one was noticing my huge
cut??? Not one word of 'what happened?' but sure enough, as soon as one kid got
a paper cut, everyone was swarming around in a bustle of 'what happened's and
'are you all right's.
I cleared my throat and put the palm
side of my hand up trying to draw attention to it… no one cared.
"Umm, you guys?"
Everyone looked at me, "Yeah, what's up?"
"Well, it's my hand…" I showed them the
cut, and they shrugged as if it was nothing new.
"Something happened this morning, and
it was really weird…"
Suddenly I had everyone's attention, and continued, "Well, my dad got mad at me
because I was playing really early this morning… and he gave me a weeks
restriction from my Playstation."
"Yeah, so? That happens to me all the
time."
"Well, somehow I got in my game…
and that's how I got this cut…"
Everyone broke out laughing, I knew they wouldn't believe me…
"Jade, you've had that cut since you
were little! You shouldn't make up stories you know."
"W-wha…? What are you talking about?"
Since I was little? What did they mean?
"But I just got it
this morning! And it hurt really bad!" I tried to restrain from crying.
"Sure you did Jadie." No one said much
to me for the rest of the day. Why were things so different?
I walked home that day, but when I got
back, no one was there. I shrugged it off and headed up to my room. This would
be easier without any witnesses to tell Dad I hadn't put the game away.
"Ok," I sighed, "there's gotta be a way
to get back right?"
The screen still showed the ending screen, and as long as it was still broken,
I could still go back… right?
I reached out for the color coded wires
again, and jumped back as it shocked me just as it had earlier. Before trying
again, there were a few things I wanted to take with me. There are some things
you just need when wandering around a strange world. I grabbed one of my
sister's 'mini backpacks' and had just enough room to pack a toothbrush and a
few other things.
"I wish I could bring my CD player…" I glanced longingly at
the huge stereo system. "No way that'd fit…"
Then I remembered my sister's portable
one.
(Well, if I come back the same time I left… she wont miss it.) I searched
through her room and finally found the thing. (Batteries…) No way it'd work if
I didn't have those.
I ran downstairs to my dad's workroom where he had a battery powered, battery
charger. {OOC: pretty neat huh?}
Perfect, I could use charged batteries to charge not charged batteries. *Phew*
this is getting exhausting just to think about. @_@
I grabbed my bundle of various anime/game CDs and frantically tried to stuff
them into the small bag.
"Blast! It wont fit!" {OOC: Yes, I
really do say 'blast' -_- it's an old habit} I re-counted my CD's and found…
"Linkin Park??? Who the heck is Linkin Park!?"
I put the CD away in my sister's room,
and continued my stuffing. I tossed the now bulging bag over my shoulder and
proceeded to probe the wires on the Playstation. After a while, a blue light
erupted from the system, and everything went black once more.
A/N: Well, now we know a bit more about me; yes, I really do say blast -_- I've
watched Outlaw Star a few too many times… and also, I take my CDs everywhere.
We go out to dinner, I've got the CDs, we go to the park, I've got the CDs…
we're practically inseparable ^_^ In fact, right now I'm listening to them!
*Humming Sora from Escaflowne* I was also thinking about changing the title, I've
been listening to 'Change the World' all day (luv that song) and the new title
is stuck in my head. If I do decide to change it, the new title will be 'I Want
To Change The World' Tell me what you think in reviews. Arigatou!
