A novel I'm working on. I'll post a few chaps...because I'm curious...
Any similarities between any real person(whether living or dead...) /someone else's characters and my characters is purely coincidental...blah blah blah...
Any allusions to my L&S fandom,however,is not.
Chapter one:
Blue Lights.
It was a dark, cold, wet night in the downtown part of New York. Definitely not the best time to be wandering the streets...of course..when was it EVER a good time for a young girl to wander the streets of NYC alone?
And yet,this was Lorraine's life. She knew every alley like the back of her hand. Who was ok,and who you couldn't trust with one hair on your head.
Lorraine was pretty much a criminal in a sense. She could strip a car of it's parts in ten minutes flat. Lorraine sold any good parts she could find for money.
Dressed in all black,she pulled out her crowbar and began working on a Mercedes.
Suddenly a bright blue light filled her eyes.
"What the-!?"
~
"Grr...c'mon..c'mon...YES! I just beat the Martians from level 60! WHOOO!" young Leonard Ptanski cheered. "Sweet. I rock."
"LEONARD! Get up here! Dinnertime!"
"Comin' Ma." he called.
All throughout dinner,all Leonard could think about was his game.
"What happens next? I MUST find out...tonight!"
After supper he tossed his algebra homework aside and began playing. A little blue dot appeared on the screen.
"Hey! Dumb Xbox...behave!"
The light slowly became bigger and bigger.....
"AH!"

In northern New York...
Mariah stared out the window at the rain falling down.
"Hmm..."
She walked over to her CD player and kicked it on.
"Feel the rain on your skin.." it played.
Mariah began to dance. "Whee!" she looked at herself in the mirror. So graceful,not the prettiest girl in the world,but at least she wasn't clumsy.
"The rest is still unwritten." she crooned.
"Ah." Mariah sighed happily."So pretty. I love love the rain. Hey....what's that?"
A blue raindrop floated closer and closer to her. "EEK!"
Mariah dropped to the floor and cowered.
The blue drop grew until its light consumed the whole room.

(back to the inner city)
Devon sat staring out the window. Miffed because the storm had canceled his basketball game.
"Man..and it was the semi-finals too! Darn it."
He pouted. The game was his life. Nothing else mattered,besides his parents,of course.
"Hey..." he spied a black figure approaching his mom's car."HEY YOU! BACK OFF!" he cried,hollering out the window. A blue light beam flashed and the figure was gone.
"Holy smokes..."
The light then approached him.
"Oh snap." He dove under his bed. No use.
The blue light flashed again.

Hearing Voices
Blue flash.Then complete darkness. Lorraine slowly stood up and then backed into a wall. Once her eyes adjusted to the dark, she looked around the room,which was seemingly empty,minus a glowing blue orb in the middle.
"I knew it... I finally been abducted by aliens." she murmured.
"Where...where am I?" Mariah whimpered. She wasn't too fond of the dark,nor of that eery blue light.
"AH! C'mon! I was about to beat level 61!" Leonard groaned,still holding the Xbox controller in his hand.
"This ain't happenin', this ain't happenin..." Devon muttered.
"Oh,but it is..." another voice said.
"Who da heck are you?" Lorraine asked,unafraid.
"Who I am....that is unimportant. What matters now is who YOU are."
"Huh?" asked Mariah.
"I'm Leonard Ptanski." said the first boy.
"Can we have some light in here?" Devon said.
"Certainly!"
The lights turned on slowly,allowing the kids eyes to easily adjust.
Now they could see each other.
Lorraine was a mix of everything. She appeared to be mulatto with a bit of Hispanic in her. She had long wavy brown hair and blue eyes.
She was clad in black from head to toe.
The term "White and Nerdy" described Leonard perfectly. He had skin almost the color of sour cream,really skinny arms and he dressed like a member of geek squad. He had red hair,gray eyes and was covered in freckles.
Mariah was a small built girl. She had long blonde hair and deep brown eyes.
She was very sweet looking.
Devon was your typical black basketball fanatic. He had short tight fuzzy curls on his head. He was wearing long baggy pants,baggy shirt and Nike high tops.
"Hey goregeous." Leonard said teasingly to Lorraine.
"Shuddup noird." she told him.
"Now now now! None of that!" the voice said. "You four need to get along for this mission."
"Mission?" Mariah queried.
"Yes,the ring has chosen you four...."
"Ring? What ring?" Devon asked.
"Yeah...Voice... what the heck are we here for?" Lorraine interjected.
The voice sighed. "Legend of old tells of four very different heroes and a ring that will bring them together. On your hands you each see a small silver ring. This ring is just a small version of the large one. These rings shall enable you to travel through time, space,help you vanish,fly and even sense evil."
"Cool." Mariah said. "Just like Lord of the rings. The one Elven knife sensed Orcs!"
"Yes,with the little rings to guide you,you shall journey to other worlds and fight evil."
"Hey! This is just like in Kingdom Hearts where Sora..." Leonard began.
"Geek." Lorraine interrupted,rolling her eyes.
"Lorraine. Stop." voice said.
"Sorry."
"Wow...." Mariah was still taking it all in.
"So,you mean to tell me that us four kids are gonna travel across time,space and other dimensions,kick evil butt,get some jewelry and like...save the universe or somethin'?" Devon asked.
"Hmm...precisely."
"But why us?" Lorraine asked.
"I know not of what the ring has in mind. I just give the orders."
"Too freaky. This is like some movie I watched on the Sci-Fi channel last night.I gotta be dreamin'." Devon said.
"No,you're quite awake." Voice reassured him.
"Do our parents know we're gone?" Mariah queried.
"No. For time stands still where you are now."
"Just like in Narnia!" she gasped.
"Wow,youse must read alot." Lorraine said.
"And you must not,for your English is atrocious." Leonard declared.
"Oh...dat may be...but my punch is far woise." she retorted.
"Cut it out!" Voice said again. "Ay yi yi,you two MUST behave or else the world as we know it will cease to exist."
"Meep." Devon said. "Leonard...can we call you Leon?"
"Yeah."
"Cool. I'm Devon."
"I'm Mariah." the blonde spoke.
"And...that Ninja over there already said my name...." Lorraine glared questioningly in Voice's general direction.
"I know because The Ring told me."
"And...how did it know?"
"Just...knew."
"Stalker."
"No,destiny."
"Whatever."
"I'm hungry,and I gotta go." Devon said.
"Go? You're going nowhere young man." Voice reprimanded.
"No man...I gotta go..."
"What?"
"He means he's gotta pee." Lorraine said.
"You have a letter?"
Lorraine smacked her forehead. "He's gotta empty his bladder or else you'll have bodily fluid all over the place."
"Ew." Voice said. "The FAUR is behind that door to your right."
"FAUR?" Devon asked.
"I believe it's called a restroom where you're from."
"Ah. Thanks!" he made a beeline for that room.
"Now...about food..." Lorraine said. "I'm starving too."
"I'll get the nourishment,hold your...hair on..." said the voice.
"Hair?" Mariah was confused.
"Maybe it was pants...."
"Yeah...it's pants."
