Prologue - The Castle of Dreams Once - and this is considered a forbidden legend in some areas, so don't let me catch you telling it, ya hear? - there was this magnificent castle. Now, it wasn't made of the same material all around, you see. It was made of various different things. Thingamabobs, gadgets, you name it, and it was part of the castle. Some thought the castle a mirage, others... Well, they had been inside of it. They could tell you it was no such thing. Inside this castle lived two witches. Now, we're not talking ugly witches that are fat and have warts (although one may try and convince you she does, she doesn't.) No, we're talking women who could do anything. The profession they chose was Dream Weaving, which is when a person asks for a certain thing to happen - good or bad - and they must pay a price in return for the dream. Oh, the names of the witches? Well, I figured you would never ask. They were Totoro Spirit and Twilight Wanderer, but they went by Toto and Twi respectively. It's just a whole lot easier to refer to them by. Day in and day out, they granted dreams. This is their story. Chapter 1 - Orange Underware is Perfect for an Outfit Now that you've heard a bit of their story, are you even remotely interested? Sure ya are! Or obviously you wouldn't have made it this far. I'll give you a cookie for it later. Now, where was I? Ah yes. This is the story of Toto and Twi. While they were very happy owning their Castle of Dreams, the same thing can get boring if you do it over and over, ya know? So, one day, over dinner, Twi proposed they get out into the world so they could see the sights and grant dreams. Hopefully. Business had been a little dry lately. Just as Toto was about to respond, a customer rang the ancient doorbell out front. "Got it..." Toto replied quietly, not knowing it was a customer. Twi kept eating as Toto reached the door. "Hi, my name's Zboy. I came here for my drea-" "NO WAY! You aren't a customer. It's been too long since our last one... And he's in the celler... I mean, uh. What could you possibly want?" Toto freaked out. She looked Zboy up and down. He was wearing an orange jumpsuit, and he looked just too good to be true. "Well, I... I want to be a Super Hero again." A... Super Hero? "Wait... You're the famous Z-Ster! Come in with me. We gotta speak with Twi. She'll wanna see you." With that, Toto led Zboy into the kitchen. Twi was scarfing down some food in the fridge when Toto snuck up on her. "Twi... What do you think you are doing?" Twi squeaked and dropped some milk. "I was... Uh, making expired chocolate milk." Toto sighed. "Nevermind that. Look at this latest customer." Twi saw Zboy and squealed. "Y-You're... Super Z-Ster! Can I have your autograph? Please please please please please!?" Zboy seemed to bask in the glory for a second before he slumped over. "That's the problem. I'm not a Super Hero anymore..." "Oh, well don't worry about that, silly! The reason you found this run down place is because we can grant your dream for you!" Twi crooned. "I keep telling you the reason it is so run down is because you don't let Jason out of his cage enough to fix it..." "Nonsense." Twi said. "He keeps escaping whenever I let him out anyway." "Anyhow." Toto said, cutting Twi short. "We can make you a Super Hero again. But with a price." "Yeah!" Twi spoke up. "I'll... Hmm, I'll take your autograph. And if you have a pair of orange boxers, I want them!" "Huh...?" Zboy asked, utterly confused. "Twi always asks for weird payments. Don't worry about her. I, personally, want oranges. So I can make something with them." "That's a weird payment... But I like it! I wish grocery stores asked for this kinda payment..." Zboy wished. Twi shrugged, clearly wishing that too, and wiggled her pinky finger. Toto wiggled her eyebrows, and BOOM! Zboy was wearing a brand spanking new Super Hero outfit... Made of underware. Will Zboy like this new costume? Did Jason escape from his cage again? Are grocery stores ever going to accept that kinda easy payment? Stay tuned to find out. :P |

No one commented and I didn't want to double post... Ah well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalatounge.gif) I just now got an idea for it.
Chapter Seven - Zen's Dream "It's going to take a lot of food to feed these people... Novi, we should prepare." Tyler said to the bear. They agreed and went inside Noviwan's cave to get enough food gathered for their party. "So where should we go first?" Twi asked. "Well." HMR said. "I need some things from my condo in the village. Along with check up on my friend Walbert. I don't like to leave him for very long because he gets in trouble a lot..." Twi nodded, because she did too, just a different kind of trouble. "So your name is Zen, huh?" Toto asked Zen. "Yep. And this is my pet duck." She pointed out a cute yellow duckling that no one noticed until now. "Aww. How cute." Zboy reached his hand out, but Zen smacked it away. "Watch it. He eats people. I trained him myself." Zen said proudly. No one touched the duck after that. Everyone waited in silence for a while, but good old Twi didn't like that, so she broke it. "Sooo... Zen, do you have a dream? Surely you do. Nearly everyone does." Zen thought about it for a moment. "Well, sort of..." "Tell me about it! Toto and I are sisters, and we grant peoples dreams!" Zen was quiet for a little longer, finally, she spoke. "Well... I used to have a little sister. She lived in a tank in our living room... But then one day she died. My mother burned the evidence, because the government didn't know about her... But really, that made no sense. She was born just like everyone else! My dream is to find out what happened to her." Twi thought about it for a minute before speaking up. "Our payment to grant your dream is that you travel with us for a certain amount of time. It is certain that if you do, you will find out about your sister. Until then, Toto and I can be your sisters! I'll be your twin, 'kay?" Zen grinned from ear to ear and nodded. "Yeah! I'll come with you guys, and definitely let you be my sisters!" Does that duck really eat people? What happened to Zen's sister? What awaits our heros in the village? Tune in to find out. :P Also, haha, I tried making it longer, Nee-chan. Didn't work out. |
