AN/ SPECIAL CHAPTER TIME!
Updating in 2017, what I have to say to you is this: Please enjoy this relic from 2012 (a simpler time) where a Very Young Rar greatly enjoyed mixing her OCs up with ftpverse's continuity, for the fun of it. As of 2017 I don't love these OCs much anymore and am thoroughly embarrassed by this chapter's existence, but. Deleting it messes up with my "everything's sorted by chapter number" sorting that I have going on other sites, so, here it remains.
It's not canon. It's not relevant to the plot. You can definitely skip it if you want. Or, read it, if you want... Whatever.
"Hello there, miss!" came a very kind voice. "Would you like a cup of tea?"
The girl frowned. It had been a while since she had been offered a cup of tea. She cocked her head to the side, noticing who had offered her the cup of tea. It was… Vexen? No, a Replica. She could just tell.
"One second, please," she said politely. She pulled a note book and a pen out of her pocket and started scribbling things down. This was how she thought; by writing crap and drawing random things. At least, that's how she figured out what Realm she had ended up in. It just helped.
"So… I seem to be in Castle Oblivion…" she muttered, drawing a doodle of the Castle. "But… it smells different… and feels different. A bit closer to home, actually. Maybe a bit too close to home…" She glanced up, taking note of all the Replicas that were in the room. "Vexen's not the only one around here… and it actually looks a bit different than I remember Castle Oblivion to look…" She scribbled another doodle of Castle Oblivion, with an arrow pointing from the first one. "In a parallel universe, maybe?" she wondered. "But which- oh!" Her eyes widened in excitement. "I'm here!" She quickly tore the page out of the notebook and tore it to shreds, stuffing some of the shreds in her mouth and chewing them before she spat them out into her hand. Taking the wad of wet shreds and the dry shreds she crumpled them together in a ball and then chucked it across the room before turning to the Vexen Replica.
"Yes!" she exclaimed. "I would absolutely love a cup of tea!"
"This way, then!" the Vexen Replica said, escorting her off.
"May I ask what number you are?" she said as he sat her down at a table.
"6!" he replied, all too happily.
Her smile faltered, and she took the cup of tea she was given warily. Now she was slightly suspicious. She wasn't expecting poison or anything… but… she knew 6 was insane. She had heard enough about him to-
She shook her head and then reached over, hand passing between the fabric of the dimension. After groping around for a second, her hand closed on the sleeve of someone's shirt.
"Get over here!" she called, tugging the person through.
Said person had brown hair and bright green eyes that seemed to be permanently formed into a scowl.
"What do you want?" he whined.
"I thought you would like a cup of tea, my dear friend Edd!" she replied happily, forcing him into a nearby chair.
Edd groaned. "I'm sick of tea…" he muttered, as 6 handed him a cup. 6 however, did not seem to hear his comment.
"I don't want to be alone with 6!" the girl hissed.
Edd rolled his eyes. "So you dragged me over?"
"Sure," the girl shrugged.
A boy with shaggy black hair and steel blue eyes walked over, looking very confused. He glanced between the girl and Edd, looking very sorry for them after a moment.
"I am extremely sorry," he said. "What World did 6 drag you from? I will get you back there immediately."
"Oh, no worries!" the girl laughed. "I found my way here myself."
"She dragged me over…" Edd muttered.
"Okay then!" the boy laughed. "My name's Joseph! Who are you?"
"No one of importance!" the girl replied with a grin. "That's Edd! I thought he would like to join us in a cup of tea. At least he would have some company."
Edd groaned and rubbed his head. "Hi Joseph…" he muttered.
"What's your name, though?" Joseph asked the girl, completely ignoring Edd.
"I can't tell you," the girl shrugged. "You would have about three different organizations, a few bounty hunters, and half of Spain after you. I wouldn't want to put you through that."
Joseph frowned, looking very confused. After a moment though, he just decided to go with this weirdness. "So that means I can't ask where you came from either, or how you got here?" he asked.
"Bingo!" the girl said with a grin.
"Well okay then," Joseph muttered. "Would you like some ice cream? I can go get you some."
"No thank you," the girl replied.
"I'll just be on my way then!" Joseph laughed, walking off.
"You should have taken his offer on the ice cream," Edd sighed.
"Be quiet!" the girl snapped, taking a sip of her tea. "Stop trying to be my conscious or I will send you back to your corner. I'm doing you a favor by dragging you over here."
Edd rolled his eyes.
"Would you like some more tea?" 6 asked, suddenly reminding everyone of his presence.
"Oh, not right now," the girl told him with a smile. "We're not done yet."
"Who are you!" came a rather demanding voice.
The girl turned and almost did a spit take. Of all people, she had not considered the fact that she would run into him. It was Riku! Riku! Of all people!
Well… wait… no…
The Riku Replica.
Must not… say anything… the girl told herself, closing her eyes. Can't freak him out. Can't freak him out!
"Oh this is going to be good," Edd mused, leaning back in his chair.
"What are you doing here?" Riku demanded, walking over.
"Now be nice," someone else scolded.
The girl opened her eyes, unable to believe her ears. It was Namine.
Well… I shouldn't be surprised… I am in THIS universe, after all.
"Who are you!" Riku demanded, yet again.
"I can't tell you," the girl replied just as Edd said about the same thing. She glanced over at him and rolled her eyes. "And don't give me that look!" she exclaimed, turning back to Riku, who was giving her that look. "I honestly can't tell you!"
"Why not?" he asked.
"If I told you-" the girl began, and then paused, reconsidering that statement. "I'd put Namine in danger if I told you," she said finally, a wicked grin threatening to show on her face, though she pushed it back down.
Riku's face softened, and the girl watched him with eyebrows raised. After a moment, she realized something and turned to Namine.
"No offense, Namine," she said politely. "However, it was the only thing I could tell him that he would actually listen to. I don't think he would listen if I told him that half of Spain would be after him. I don't think he'd care."
Namine laughed.
"Hang on…" Riku said slowly. "How do you know her name?" The glare was returning to his face, and the girl winced.
"Right…" she whispered to herself. "We hadn't introduced ourselves completely yet… my bad…"
"She knows me," Edd said.
The girl turned to him, shocked. However, Riku seemed to take this as a valid explanation.
"It's you!" he said after staring at Edd for a moment. "You're that stranger! I wondered if I would ever see you again… Do you realize just how much I want to thank you?"
Edd was rubbing his temples. "Yes…" he replied slowly. "You're thoughts are screaming it, trust me. Now calm down before you give me a headache. And, yes, by the way, I can read minds." He turned to glare at the girl. "This is why I liked staying in my corner!" he hissed. "I didn't get headaches there!"
The girl frowned. "Sorry…" she muttered. She turned back to Namine and Riku. "So! How's life been for you two? I wasn't sure if Edd's plan worked out or not."
The grin that grew on Riku's face was absolutely adorable, and the girl had to bite her tongue to prevent herself from squealing.
Not a good time to be a fangirl! she scolded herself.
Edd rolled his eyes.
"I think it worked out just fine," Riku said, glancing at Namine.
"I second that," Namine whispered.
"I'm leaving!" Edd exclaimed suddenly. "This is just-"
"They haven't said anything…" the girl whispered.
"Oh but they're thinking it!" Edd replied bitterly. In a rush of cold wind, he was gone.
Thinking what exactly, I wonder? the girl thought.
"Great, just when I absolutely needed to ask him something," she sighed, glaring at the spot that Edd and once occupied.
"What do you need to ask?" Namine asked.
The girl shook her head. "I can't ask you. I don't want to ruin anything. Where's Joseph? I suppose I could ask him…"
Riku frowned, but after getting a pointed glare from Namine, opened his mouth to call for Joseph.
The girl shook her head. "No worries, I've got it covered!" she laughed, and then reached off to the side, hand slipping through the fabric of the dimension again. After a second she grabbed onto the collar of Joseph's shirt and dragged him through.
"What just-" Joseph began, and then a grin grew on his face. "Can I do that again? That was fun!"
"Maybe later," the girl told him. "I have to ask you something." She turned to Riku and Namine. "Plug your ears and sing songs please! You can't hear this!"
They both returned that comment by staring at her as if she was insane. The girl rolled her eyes. "Go to another room then! This is terribly important that you don't hear!"
Riku raised his eyebrows.
The girl sighed. "Nevermind…" she sighed, standing up and pulling Joseph off to the side. She glanced over at Riku and Namine, and then turned back to Joseph. They couldn't quite hear what she said, but Joseph's reaction was rather surprising.
"What!" he exclaimed, rather loudly. "No! They haven't-"
The girl quickly covered his mouth before he got anymore of that sentence out. "Me and my big mouth…" she muttered. "I should have asked someone else. Listen, Joseph, you can't say anything about that, promise?"
Joseph nodded.
"Good," the girl said. "Cause if not, I will stick you between two dimensions, and it's definitely not fun after an hour."
Joseph nodded again.
"Right!" the girl exclaimed, letting go of him. "I need to go then! Me and my big mouth might let something else slip if I'm here to long. Riku, can you open a dark corridor for me? I don't care where to."
"I got it," Namine sighed, forming a dark corridor. Riku was too busy standing there gaping and confused.
"Thanks!" the girl laughed, skipping through.
And they never saw her again.
