Tucker: Take that!
Danny: Stop jumping around everywhere! How am I supposed to hit you if you keep moving?
Tucker: Thats kinda the point.
Sam: I'm sooo bored.
Me: Me too. Hey guys when do we get a turn on the Wii?
Danny: As soon as I kick his butt.
Tucker: NEVER!
Sam: This could go on forever.
(on t.v.) Game over. Winner player 1!
Tucker: YESH!
Danny: (groan)
The three visitors untangled themselves from their awkward position on the floor. I stared at what I always known to be fictional made up characters, no longer in a cartoon 2D form, but living breathing actual humans. They all still looked like they used to, the features the same, just with more texture, color... more realness. Its kinda hard to explain, you had to be there. Then breaking the silence Tucker started freaking out,
"Oh my gosh! Sam! Danny! You look so different." he looked down, "I look different!" He would've kept going but he glanced over at Danny, who was looking coldly at us, and decided it was time to shut up.
Danny slowly got to his feet keeping his eyes on us the whole time. I'm guessing he didn't know quite what to think of us, but so far it wasn't a very good opinion. I quickly noticed his clenched fist glowing green with energy. Just waiting for one of us to make a wrong move. Sam and Tucker got up as well, all three were dripping wet and a dark puddle was forming on the carpet where I sat a few minutes before. I couldn't just sit there, someone had to say something. I apparently stood up a little to fast and Danny shifted into a fighting stance, Sam's violet eyes widened and she moved closer to him slightly for back up.
"Hi, I'm Alex. Welcome to Planet Earth." I said stepping forward extending my hand for a shake.
Rachelyn hissed behind me, "He is from Amity Park not another planet!"
"Hey, how did you know we were from Amity Park?" Tucker asked accusingly.
"Uhh, well...you see...umm." I stammered, drawing back my unshaken hand.
"Its complicated." Rachelyn interjected, coming to stand next me.
Suddenly Danny spoke, "Why is it so complicated? Just tell us how you knew where we live." His tone of voice spoke volumes more, he obviously didn't trust us.
"You wouldn't believe us if we told you."
"Try me."
"Fine," I continued, "How shall I put this with out y'all freaking out? Basically we know everything about you. Like the fact that Danny is half ghost." I gestured a hand towards him.
Danny's green eyes widened, the other two looked anxiously back and forth between them. All of them wondering how a stranger knew about Danny's closely guarded secret.
"How did you know my name?"
"Like I said. I know everything." I smirked.
Rachelyn stepped out, "Yeah, we know where you live, who your parents are, where you go to school, how Danny got his powers, all the names of the ghost you fight." she said counting everything off on her fingers.
Tucker exclaimed, "This is just too freaky!"
Finally Sam spoke, "But how do you know?"
"Well, you see... because your life is a T.V. show." my answer was met with stunned silence, so I continued. "We were just watching it when all of the sudden the television was shaking and spewing sparks, then you three just fell out of it." More silence, and then... Tucker fainted.
Danny quickly knelt next to his friend trying to revive him. I rushed to get some water to dump on Tucker's face, while Rachelyn got towels so they could dry off. After Tucker woke up, all three used the towels to dry their clothes as best they could. Their hair no longer plastered to their faces, but still damp all the same. So I quickly ran back to my room to find some dry clothes for them. I tossed Danny and Tucker some jeans and t-shirts. Rachelyn already knowing Sam's taste, managed to find a goth assemblage, of black jeans, dark purple tank top, and black vest. Eh, it was the best we could come up with.
Danny figured that since we already knew his secret he might as well power down. It was kinda cool to watch as a bright ring of light encircled his body changing his dark jumpsuit to a t-shirt and jeans. His stark white hair now black, and the green eyes now sky blue. However cool it seemed in the cartoon, it was ten times better in real life.
We got to work and cleaned up the room a bit, miraculously the T.V. actually wasn't broken, but a few nick-naks were broken beyond repair. By this time my dogs were no longer afraid of our new guest and had stopped barking at them. Tucker had Harry the rat terrier in his face, Sam was petting our brown spotted dalmatian Chip, and Danny was marveling at the fact that Miss Brooks had only 3 legs. Just so I could get some peace I lured the dogs into the back room with some dog bones. When I got back we would get down to business, like trying to figure out what in the world was going on.
I dragged my bare feet on the soft tan carpet, glancing up at the pictures hanging on the walls. Pictures of foreign places, distant relatives, then more the more familiar face of my sister. A picture of her and I together, back before she had grown up and moved out. I gave a sigh, those days were over and it was time to focus on the now. No matter how bizarre it was. Its amazing how in only five minutes, my whole life got turned upside down.
Tucker: I would so not faint! Why did you write that?
Me: There needed to be some kind of distraction.
Tucker: (whining) But why me?
Sam: (knocks him over the head with the Wii lightsaber) Get over it!
Me: Ahh silence at last.
Please review. It will keep Tucker quiet and off Sam's nerves! So she won't kill him.
