CHAPTER 2
Author's Note: Thanks for the good reviews!
Anyway, it's been almost a year since I started writing this fic, almost never to update it again. But here it is. Chapter 2! Remember, donut take this fanfic too seriously, and even if it's supposed to be a remake of bad fanfiction, well, C'ren is still a Mary Sue, and I still made it read a bit like a trollfic, sans rude author's notes and bad spelling. Huzzah!
For the first time in what seemed to be an eternity of sensory deprivation, I have felt texture, a rather slimy one. I realized that I was tangled in giant kelp leaves. I struggled for a while to untangle myself, and when my lithe, flexible body slipped through the vines, I noticed a light at the end of what seemed to be a tunnel in a kelp forest.
Furthermore, I observed that I couldn't float (or swim) freely anymore, going up and down through the waters with the help of buoyancy. I was bound to the rather sandy ground, and yet, I knew that I was still underwater. I looked around to see if there was anybody else around, but I was all alone.
I decided to walk towards the door-shaped light at the end of the kelp-tunnel. I walked in a straightforward path, knowing that doing this is one thing I should do in situations when I get lost. But then again, with the violations of the laws of physics that I have seen recently, this might not work. But I thought to myself that it doesn't hurt to try, right?
When I eventually reached the end of the tunnel, there was a vast, almost-endless expanse of what seemed to be a barren wasteland of white sand right in front of me. I looked back and saw the kelp, seeming like tall grasses in a field. I've never felt so small, considering that I tower over most people at five feet, ten inches tall. I was probably sent by what I have realized is a rift in time and space to a strange new land where everything is bigger than me.
After I've finished looking up in astonishment at the sky, the crepuscular rays of the sun refracted by the waters, and the giant kelp, I looked down and finally observed that there is a paved road in a scale that was appropriate to the human proportions.
I tried to look for any signs of intelligent life, aside from the road that was perfectly paved on sand, and myself, of course. I tried to scope the entire horizon for a road sign. I found one on the left side facing the wasteland, and I walked towards it, curious about the types of life that might inhabit this new dimension that I have just discovered completely by accident.
I remembered that I have seen a neon sign welcoming me to Atlantis, so I assumed that the types of life down here would consist of anthropomorphic aquatic animals and mermaids. But much to my surprise, I saw a red bus that resembled a submarine travel through the road, and humans were inside it… humans who looked just like the ones in the land above! The road sign, which is, strangely, a bus stop in the middle of nowhere, was also written in English. The bus stopped to let me in, and when I got up on the bus, everyone started to stare at me in surprise. Perhaps they knew that I was from another land, because they have never seen me before.
"She's beautiful," whispered a man to his friend who was seated right next to him.
"And she has curves in all the right places," said his friend.
"Who knew that even the people down here were perverts who love to check women out?" I thought. Yeah, probably because my diving suit is skin-tight and has a deep v-neck that shows off my cleavage, simply because I can pull it off fabulously. So, I just smiled at them and took a seat next to a nice-looking young man with blond hair and blue eyes just like me. He wore a white, button-up shirt with a red tie, khaki pants, and black shoes. He had a suitcase with him with a sticker of jellyfish on it.
"Hello," he said to me with a convivial smile. "Where did you come from, anyway? As for me, I just came from Jellyfish Fields to, well, go jellyfishing. It's just something I do every Sunday. And by the way, I'm Bob. And you are?"
"C'ren Bleber," I replied. "I'm not related to Justin Bleber-"
"Did you say Justin Bleber?" Bob interrupted, seemingly astonished with what I have just told him. Wait, he KNOWS Justin Bleber!? But how? "Oh my Neptune, he IS one of the biggest stars in ALL of Atlantis!"
Everyone in the bus then stared at us, probably because we were making too much noise when there were people who wanted to sleep. But then again, simply hearing his name makes the (figurative) butterflies in my stomach flutter uncontrollably.
