-The MIA Chronicles- By: Violet Dawson
"Ouch!"
"Oof!"
"Yeah, hi, that's me your sitting on."
And a various assortment of other words that meant basically the same thing were coming from the ungraceful heap that Anna, Allyce and Jenna had landed in when they finally made it into Celeste's window. Obviously their Sue powers had yet to kick in.
"Good evening ladies, I've been expecting you," Came a voice clear as tinkling bells though it had a slightly mocking tone to it. Enter Celeste Clearwater.
Anna saw the wheels in Jenna's head turning and kept a hand on her shoulder as they untangled themselves, giving her the 'revenge is best served cold' look. Jenna nodded, but refused to give up the happy mental images of Celeste doused in lighter fluid and fed to a balrog. She really wasn't fond of the woman.
Celeste, oblivious to the reason Jenna was smiling oddly at her, continued talking as if she were with a group of friends instead of three distressed teens. "We have a lot of work to do and very little time to do it in I'm afraid. I had a feeling things might not go smoothly once the students figured out who you were. But not to worry, I've taken the liberty of making arrangements for the three of you and you'll be in canon by tomorrow morning."
Anna joined Jenna in her happy thoughts and, by the look on her face, Allyce would be enlisting in the 'I hate Celeste club' sooner than later. Opening the door, Celeste ushered in Sues 1, 2 and 3 and three very un- Suelike girls that Anna and Allyce didn't recognize.
"May I present Mary, Cassie and Jan, the brilliant minds who created your plots!" Celeste announced excitedly.
Jenna looked them up and down; they all looked basically the same, three short pimply-faced pre-teens with greasy black hair, cut into identical pixie styles. They're identity slowly seeped into her mind; they were MarySue authors.
MarySue authors, the hormone over-run, canon-disregarding pre-teens who wrote the stories that the MIA used for their assignments. That could only mean one thing; Jenna thought logically, the world was ending.
Each of the Authors was holding a thick manuscript with a three-sentence title on the first page. At a nod from Celeste, they walked up to Allyce, Anna and Jenna and handed each of them one of the stories with a reverence unknown to those who haven't written a sappy romance fic.
"The Authors have been working tirelessly to create the perfect plots for you to enter. These scenarios have been tested to perfection, every line, every detail, every subtle bat of an eye has been written specially to correspond with the preferences of your target canonical. Each plot is a work of genius and WILL BE FOLLOWED TO THE LETTER. Any questions?" Celeste asked with her trademark smirk.
The three girls shook their heads and said their prayers. Here they thought they'd be set loose in the canon (which was bad enough) but they were expected to follow a script? Written by a fangirl? What had they ever done to fate to deserve this? As if following some unknown script, a Sue walked up to each of the girls and neuralized them.
... "It's not as bad as all that Miss Rusnak, now come and try in on and it'll all be over soon."
"Then you put it on and I'll sit over there and tell you it's not so bad."
"Now Miss Rusnak, be reasonable."
"Allyce? Reasonable? Ha!"
"Shut up Jenna."
Anna's foggy mind started to register what was going on, but opening her eyes to confirm what she heard only provided her with a nice view of the purple elephants. This time they were in a conga line. Great.
"Miss Donavan, good you're awake, step this way if you would." Came the all to familiar voice of Sue #2.
Anna waved goodbye to her purple friends and tried to sit up and comply. The last thing she needed was to be neuralized again, purple elephants may be fun but she was pretty sure they weren't entirely healthy. Then again being a MarySue wasn't entirely healthy either. She was going to need major therapy when this was all over.
"Allyce dear, just try it on then we'll go play with the nice weapons ok?" said Anna the voice of reason, now fully alert.
Allyce looked from Sue #1, to Anna and then over to Jenna who was still cracking up. Grabbing the hanger and happily kicking Jenna on her way into the fitting room, Allyce complied.
Anna patted herself on the back for getting Allyce into a dressing room, she took the hanger Sue #2 was holding out to her and walked into one of the small rooms herself. That left Jenna alone with the three Sues, never a good place to be.
"Remember this?" grinned Sue #1 holding up the dress they'd been working on before Jenna most literally ran into Allyce.
"What? No way, no how, nuh uh. I'm not getting back into that...that...that...thing!" Jenna yelled, but she already knew she'd lost.
"Now Jenna, be reasonable." Allyce said through the door and Jenna could hear her smirk even though she couldn't see it. Sighing and resigning to the whims of fate, she snatched the hanger and joined her friends in the dressing rooms.
Several minutes, sighs, mumbles and groans later Jenna had finally gotten into what would go down in history as the MarySue Monstrosity. Allyce and Anna were sitting in the wardrobe department waiting for her.
Allyce, being somewhat closer to fate's good side then either of her friends was happily sitting in the corner in jeans and a black t-shirt. (The Sues had wisely dropped the idea of the pink dress they'd been trying to get her into) Anna didn't seem too unhappy in her Slayers canonical clothes either and was mumbling something about glomping Xelloss.
Counting to three and ready to kick the first person that dared to laugh, Jenna opened the dressing room door. Now to their credit, her friends tried, they really did...for about five seconds.
"You...look....ridiculous!" Allyce managed to get out between laughing spells.
"Well, I'm sure that dress will attract something, definitely not Legolas, but something." Anna stated in what was supposed to be matter-of-fact tone then joined Allyce in her snickering fit.
Jenna waddled over to Sue #3, taking a detour to kick the laughers on the way, and stuck a finger in her face. "I can't walk, I can't move, I can't even breathe! Could you please explain to me how exactly I'm supposed to hike a crossed Middle Earth in this thing?"
That was all it took to send Anna and Allyce into another fit of giggles. Jenna would have gone over and kicked them again, but she seriously doubted she could walk that far, so she contented herself with grabbing a nearby shoe and throwing it in their general direction. She missed.
Jenna didn't like the gleam she saw in Allyce's eyes as they walked into the weapons center; come to think of it she didn't like the gleam in Anna's eyes either. But she did like air, and now that she'd managed to work the Sues down to a skirt instead of that Valar-aweful thing she'd had on before, she could have some again. Yes, air really was a marvelous invention that you didn't think about until you couldn't have any for an extended period of time.
"Jenna! Look at this!"
Anna's voice broke through her thoughts just as she was about to write an air appreciation speech. Oh well, she could always write it later, maybe for Raimer's class. She looked over to where Anna happily held a long whip between her hands. If she had ever wondered about it, this proved her friends weren't the most normal people on earth. But she loved them anyways, which was a good thing because normal people scared her as almost as much as she scared them.
"Don't touch that!" The panicked voice of Sue #1 cut off Jenna's thoughts of having normal friends once and for all.
She looked up just in time to see Allyce reverently put down the biggest gun she'd even seen. While her friends nearly danced around the weapon center, she stood silently in the corner and watched. She was getting that sickening feeling in her stomach again and this time it wasn't from eating too much chocolate frosting.
"Miss Williams, if you'll follow me, I'll give you what you need." Sue #3 didn't wait for an answer but started walking and Jenna had no choice but to follow. If she didn't know better, she'd swear the Sue had planned it that way.
They stopped in front of a beautifully carved armoire and Sue #3 proudly flung open the doors. Inside, were a bow, arrows, sword and pack as well as some smaller things Jenna didn't recognize. All the weapons were horrible over-decorated and she guessed that any Middle Earth resident would take one look at them and fall into hysterics. But there was a bigger problem.
"Um...yeah, slight problem."
"Yes Miss Williams?"
"I'm still mastering walking in a straight line and you expect me to be able to shoot that?" Jenna asked, pointing at the bow.
"Oh! That's not a problem! You'll get full Sue powers when you enter the canon." The Sue laughed.
Jenna nodded, said something along the lines of 'why didn't I think of that?' and listened as she was clued into what some of the less identifiable things were. "This goes behind your ear and enables you to understand what is being said, regardless of what language it's being said in. Oh, and swallow this."
Jenna looked warily at the small pill in the Sue's hand. "It's the verbal component that links with the ear piece." Jenna nodded and took it from her. "Finally, this is your pager."
"Pager? Doesn't canon mean anything to you people?" Jenna groaned.
Ignoring Jenna completely, Sue #3 continued; "You'll be able to get in touch with Celeste or the agents in the field at any time." Jenna shut up as she realized this meant she could talk with Anna and Allyce. Glad for small blessings she listened to the noise around her. Little hums and squeals of delight proved that Allyce and Anna were also receiving their gear. And all the while the ache in Jenna's stomach grew.
"I really wish you wouldn't do that because it makes me rather upset."
"Yes, Allyce is right and I feel the same way."
Or at least that was the meaning of what Anna and Allyce had been belting out since being sent to the SueSpa. Their versions made the Sues look like overdone lobsters. But at least counting the shades of red they were turning gave Jenna something to do while Sue #3 dyed her hair. Copper this time. Fun. Allyce had been given a highlighting treatment that left her with red streaks. Anna was still winning the battle against being recolored.
"Done, now walk this way." Sue #3 announced proudly. These girls really needed a life outside the MIA.
Next came drying, styling and a semi-permanent make-up job. Here Allyce broke the legal limit of four letter words in one sentence. Jenna was embarrassed, Anna was impressed. As finishing touch, Jenna got a pair of 'elven vision' contacts. Lucky Jenna. They actually did nothing to improve her sight and made her run into more then her normal quota of walls. She must be on fate's really bad list; there was just no other explaniation. There was a bright side though; things certainly couldn't get any worse. Oh wait...yes they could, here came Sue #3 with a neurliazer.
A/N: Well what did you think? I for one am proud of the length of this chapter. But it took *forever and a day* to finish, oh well, it's here now. The next chapters will be the one on one accounts of each of our characters. Miss Anna will write her and Allyce's chapters and lucky you, you still get to read my writing through my chapters. My loyal reviewers can expect their chocolate to be delivered by snowman...seeing as I've gotten so much lately. Click this to be taken to a fic I'm in! http://fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1079409
