Ben's Note of Sheer Awesome: I propose to you a question. Do you like the author's note up here? I personally like it both up here and at the bottom, because I can address my audience and give them the basic gist of the chapter here and do my little explanation and announcements below. Random question.
HI KCL! Guess what I got? More apple cider! Ha! You can keep the jug you stole form me earlier because I have a thirty gallon hate full of it!
Prompt 18: Crawl
Alistair didn't really know how he gets himself into weird situations.
Then he remembers that he's dating Kitty Cheshire, and everything makes sense.
Currently, he was crawling through a vent with Maddie Hatter crawling behind him. Why was this? It was quite simple, really. It all started that morning when they went to class.
Alistair always got his stuff done on time. It was just something he did. He had written a paper for that morning several days before and had it on hand. However, before he had to turn it in, he decided to draw a doodle on a sheet of paper.
He so happened to have the class with Kitty. He looked at her and noticed she was writing furiously. He smirked. It was typical of his girlfriend to write her papers right at the last second. Alistair didn't mind Kitty's rushedness. He thought it was kind of cute.
And thus, that was what he drew. He made sure it was perfect. After a few minutes of drawing it, he finished and sat back to admire it. It was of Kitty, her brow furrowed as she carefully wrote her paper. Alistair couldn't help but admire the pure cuteness he had captured in the drawing.
After a few classes had passed, Alistair had run into Maddie. Well, the truth was that she fell on top of him through an air vent. Alistair had groaned in pain and rubbed his head. "Maddie, what were you doing?" he groaned.
"Well, see, a toad flies only when the grasshopper swims," Maddie explained, slipping into Riddlish. Alistair, not being as fluent, took a moment to decipher it.
"Oh, you get to class faster through the vents," Alistair said, nodding. "That makes total sense."
"Exactly! Where are you going? Wait! Is there a party with tea somewhere that I missed?!" Maddie gasped. Alistair chuckled and shook his head.
"No, actually. I'm going off to see Kitty. I drew this of her earlier today and want to show her," he said, pulling the paper out of his pocket and handed it to Maddie. Maddie grabbed it, unfolded it, and look it over. A confused look appeared on her face.
"All I see is a well done paper on why Riddlish is the best language ever. Which it is, true, but I don't see Kitty anywhere mentioned. Alistair, did you forget about your girlfriend in your paper about Riddlish?" Maddie said with a pout. This confused Alistair and he grabbed the paper form Maddie. He paled.
"Curses!" he said. "I must have turned in the drawing in place of my paper!"
Maddie tapped her chin. "So Kitty's trapped underneath a stack of papers? Wait… homework papers?! OH NO! We have to rescue her Alistair!" Maddie suddenly grabbed Alistair and started shaking him. "Kitty's probably suffocating! Homework does that to people, you know!"
Alistair grabbed Maddie's hand and pushed them down. "No, not the real Kitty," Alistair said. "A drawing. And it's too late. Professor Nimble probably left the classroom by now."
Maddie formed a smirk, which set Alistair on edge. "Oh, we can catch him," she said. "The Maddie way!"
And thus why Alistair was now crawling through the vents with Maddie. "You sure we can catch him? Wouldn't it be faster to just run?" Alistair questioned.
"Nonsense! Only Cerise or Kitty herself could get to that room the normal way! Unless you are Kitty or Cerise, in which they would use their powers to get there instead of normal running," Maddie reasoned.
"If you say so," Alistair shrugged and turned a corner. The vent started to creak. "Um, Maddie? This vent doesn't sound like it'll hold us both?"
"No worries!" Maddie said. "The vent won't have two people crawling through it at the same time!" Alistair nodded and continued forward. However, he groaned as he felt a body jump on top of him. "So you can crawl for both of us instead!"
However, the increased weight was too much for the poor vent. The metal snapped and Alistair and Maddie fell out of it into a classroom. After a moment of daze, they looked up toward the front.
To see Kitty and Professor Nimble looking at them in confusion. "Um… Alistair? What's going on?" Kitty asked.
Alistair turned beat red and was about to come up with some story when Maddie said, "The origami structure only lasts when the bird eats its meal." As Kitty was better at Riddlish than Alistair, she got the message before Alistair did and blushed.
"Oh… so your the one who drew this," Kitty said, holding up the drawing of Kitty Alistair had drawn earlier. "Professor Nimble thought I had a stalker…"
Alistair blushed more as he stood up. He walked over to Professor Nimble and handed him his actual paper. "No, not a stalker! I just… wanted to capture your cuteness this morning."
Kitty smiled. "Aw, that's so sweet," she said.
"So wait. Let me get this straight. Kitty wasn't suffocating in a stack of homework?" Maddie asked. Kitty and Alistair laughed and shared a brief kiss as the exited the classroom.
BN: Raise of hands, who has those moments where you have a friend or boy/girlfriend where they are in the most perfect cute moment and have to draw them? Or take a picture, knowing how the world is going right now. I felt as though Alistair needed one of those moments. I mean, he is a guy, and guys (the good ones, anyway) tend to do things like that. Plus, I wanted a fun cameo with Maddie, since you seriously never know what you're going to get with her. Basically, this was more of the cute fun Kittystair that was kind of a one sided part. Kitty has so many chapters to herself, I wanted Alistair to have some of the attention this time.
Also, I have some news! The first loop chapter is up! It's a bit more serious than I wanted, but it should basically have the gist of what most loops will be like. (Only hopefully funnier.) I highly encourage fans to check that out, because guess what? There is no set chapter limit for that one! I'll right that one so long as people find it popular!
Like? Hate? Meh? Let me know in a review! Or don't! Either works!
