Chapter One: A Land Without Wonder
"Ugh," Ace mumbled as he watched a feminine-looking person with saturated, light blonde hair and purple eyes. She had a few hardly noticeable freckles sprinkled across her nose. She stood at a decently average height, but seemed to be a little on the shorter side. She was badly dancing around as her 'advertisement', with a grin almost as big as her top hat.
"Stop," Ace interrupted.
Her smile quickly faded. "What?"
"Your dancing is ugly. So stop it," He said dryly.
He looked up at the big sign that said in a wonky font, "Wonderland But With More Wonder."
"What a professional name," He said sarcastically.
"I know, right?" The girl smirked as she tightened her bow tie, then flamboyantly stuck out her hand. "Would you like to be the first person to try my amusement park? I worked on it for a long time with my… friends!"
"The whole thing seems sketchy." He looked around, peering at all the wet metal in the distance from the rain.
The girl continued smiling uselessly. "My name is Brubles."
He scrunched his nose up. "Brubles?"
"Well, that's not my real name. But it's the name I gave myself." She smiled proudly.
"Join us." A slightly taller girl with brunette hair and brown eyes stood there, dressed in a pink and black suit with a dark teal suit jacket. She didn't look too threatening despite her serious look, but she did sound pretty scary at first.
"You heard her!" Brubles said cheerfully.
Ace jumped at the sudden person behind her, frightened. "Who's this?"
"You can call me Hotter!" The brunette girl suddenly smiled, also sticking out her hand, but Ace didn't bother to shake hers either.
"So, will you try our amusement park?" Brubles smiled dumbly.
"Fine." Ace sighed, stuffing his hands in his pockets as he started to walk around. It was eerily quiet, just carnival music in the distance with nobody here. It was foggy, and he could only really see the bright colors from the rides in front of him. He turned to the carousel, shrugging since that was an easy ride. He walked over and got on.
Brubles happily pulled a lever and it made a rough squeaking sound, before it finally started going.
Ace sat on the horse in crisscross applesauce, sucking on a lollipop as he sulked. "This is boring."
"Be careful, there, dear," Brubles grinned mischievously. "Sitting on it wrong might cause it to… malfunction."
Ace rolled his eyes. "Boo hoo." To make her mad, Ace turned around and sat on it backwards.
Suddenly the carousel shot up in the sky, and his horse lit on fire, twirling upside down.
Ace screamed, being thrown up in the air until the whole carousel broke and collapsed, sending him falling back, then suddenly, very peacefully, landing lightly in Hotter's arms.
Brubles smiled, taking off her top hat and dusting it off. "Can't say I didn't warn you."
Ace stared for a moment, before he blinked a couple of times and came back to reality, crawling out of Hotter's arms. "Sitting on it backwards caused it to do THAT?"
"Of course!" A very tall, muscular man said, with pink hair on one side and blond on the other. He also wore a top hat, but in vibrant rainbow colors. He smiled. "Don't tell me you really didn't actually expect that? Hah, ametur."
"OF COURSE I DIDN'T EXPECT THAT!" The scrawny boy yelled. "You guys are freaks! I'm leaving!" Ace stood up and tried to storm out, but the man grabbed him by his hoodie. Despite kicking his legs and squirming a little, the man still effortlessly held him.
"My name is Jacob Jay Bae," the tall man said. "But you can call me Jake. Or Jakey Boo. Whichever you prefer." He giggled like a little girl. "That's my impression of cute kawaii young girls."
"Let me go!" Ace screeched, causing his voice to crack even more.
"Bro, who's this new edgy racist?" A small, black-haired boy said as he walked over. "I bet he's a racist."
Hotter scoffed. "I can't believe that you bet he's a racist, considering you just called him an "edgy racist.'"
"No, I called him a new edgy racist," the boy corrected.
Hotter rolled her eyes.
Jake finally let go of Ace, who scrambled away from him.
"There's more of you?!?!" Ace pointed at the boy.
"There's three-hundred more of us," Brubles said with a grin.
"My name is Alex," the boy said, putting his hands on his hips. "Also known as the coolest one here. I'm just so cool like that."
"Nice to meet you Mr. Cool," Ace said sarcastically with disdain. "Where's the rest of the three-hundred losers?"
Brubles sighed and snapped her fingers.
Suddenly the place was crowded with loads of people… weird looking people.
There was a bald child, licking his
ginormous swirl lollipop. "Hey there buddy! I'm Nosepickerfart!"
There was a girl with hair that looked like bacon. You could probably eat it. "And my name is Moldy."
Ace scrunched up his nose at all of them. "…Ew."
"Those are just the side characters," Brubles waved her hand dismissively. "Meet the main group!"
Six other people appeared.
A hot girl with long blonde hair and green eyes waved. "My name is Belen, but this is only my first form…" She turned into a strange creature with a bird head but a cat body. "My secondary name is Pelican."
A scrawny boy with curly, dirty blonde hair and green eyes stood there blankly with a flat expression. "I'm Nick." He suddenly turned into applesauce. "But now I'm Applesauce."
"Such a creative secondary name," Ace mumbled.
A tall, muscular boy appeared with dark hair and teal eyes. "Wassup broski, I'm Cole." He turned into a cow… but not just a cow, specifically the cow emoji. No body or anything, just the cow emoji face. "But now my name is High Wizard."
Ace scoffed. "Seriously?"
"You better not make fun of me, boy…" Cole, the cow, or 'High Wizard' shook his head threateningly.
"I guess you could say you don't wanna have beef with him." Brubles laughed, and everybody else there laughed robotically, echoing with noise.
"I'm gonna make beef out of him!" Ace yelled.
Cole gasped, then all the others gasped robotically too.
Another muscular, tall boy with dark brown hair and brown eyes dusted off his trench coat. "I'm Scott," He tipped his fedora. "Probably not nice to meet you, Ace. Because… you're probably a SNAKE!"
Ace jumped at his yelling. "Oh, yeah, I totallyyyy look like a snake. Definitely."
"SARCASM?! THAT'S THE 50TH SIGN OF A SNAKE!"
"HUH?!" Ace yelled back.
"Ahem, anyways, let's talk about me now. This is my second form." Scott turned into a weird looking man, with a discolored, large eye but his other eye remained the same. He had dead snakes draped over his shoulders as if they were fashion. "My second form is named the Snake Hunter, because I am the ultimate Snake Hunter."
"Wow, the name totally wasn't self explanatory already," Ace rolled his eyes.
A relatively tall girl with light blonde hair and blue eyes appeared, smiling brightly. She seemed to be the only normal one here. "I'm Chloe!" She said cheerfully, before suddenly turning into a broom. "SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP."
Brubles leaned over to whisper in Ace's ear. "Her second form doesn't have a name, because she never told us it. She just says sweep."
"SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP," She yelled again in a monotone voice.
And finally, the sixth boy stood there with hands in his pockets and an awkward smile. He had dark, long curly hair. "My name is Ken… and well, I'm just… normal. I don't have a second form."
"I guess you could say he's just Ken." Brubles laughed by herself.
Ace side-eyed her. "Thanks Ken, for being normal."
Ken shook his head. "Oh, but that still doesn't make up for my chaotic personality."
Ace scrunched up his nose.
It went silent for a moment, before Brubles chuckled.
"Anyways," Brubles cleared her throat. "Let's go have some fun! That's what amusement parks are for, right?"
"YEAH!!!" They all cheered loudly, swarming around like a group of bees. New people kept flooding into the park, and Brubles seemed to know all of them.
Ace rolled his eyes. Nobody was actually going to this stupid park except all of Brubles' friends.
Ace got pushed and pulled through the crowd, which caused him to become even more annoyed.
Once he finally found his way through and got to the exit, he smiled a little and began to walk out, before Jake grabbed him again.
"We're selling free cake pops," Jake told him. "Want some?"
"NO!" Ace yelled. "I want to leave! It's against the law to keep me here."
Jake chuckled. "Law? Who cares about that." Jake started swinging Ace around, before suddenly throwing him.
"Catch ya on the flip!" He yelled as Ace was flying through the air.
Ace passed out in midair.
