 Laurencia Hello! My name is Fanny O'Rear and I’m twelve years old. It’s my first day of school. I’m real excited, but nervous, cause I'm considered the school geek. I got glasses over the summer and I can’t brush my hair cause I have this huge rats nest in it. Well, it’s time for me to leave for school... ~j ...but I can't seem to find two matching shoes out of all the shoes we have in the house! Oh no! Now I'm going to have to wear my big brother's huge stinky tennis shoes, and everyone is going to say... MOO for President Look we have Ronald McDonald going to our school now. What a geek to wear those shoes with that outfit. DOesn't she know that this school has a dress code of... Mia Hello. My name is Katy Smith and I will be your school bully for the upcoming school year. *cracks her knuckles* Hand over your lunch money or I'll give you a knuckle sandwich, punk! wordsy "Oh my, what am I to do?" I have on my big brother's smelly old tennis shoes and I can't run away. But if she pounds me and breaks my new glasses, I won't be able to see to do my school work. What ever am I to do? thePookie Spider Pig I know what I'll do, I'll lay these four shovels in front of Katy. Hey, dumb-lookin'-slack-jawed-unibrow-dropped-too-many-times-doofus named Katy, take your pick! That should settle her gourd for a time while I escape in my oversized shoes. Jian~Ashen Katy with her tweeny muscles flexed them at poor Fanny, who looked around in fright as if escaping from a nanny. "Your lunch money or your life" was the threat Katy redoubled, then took a menacing step towards Fanny and the shovels... Laurencia Before Fanny could even think, she kicked one of the stinky tennis shoes and it went flying into dumb-lookin'Katy's face, knocking her out cold. Scared out of her mind, Fanny ran as fast as she could with one stinky tennis shoe and came upon a strange... ~j ... obese, grouchy teacher with a long and greasy toupee. Mr. Phelps, Fanny realized. The meanest, nastiest teacher in the school."Hey you! No running in the halls!" But Fanny turned down the next hallway, veering out if his reach, and the two of them... MOO for President careened into Lamar Jenkins, the high schools star quarterback, all-star basketball center and the photographer for the yearbook. Lamar was graceful carrying his school books, high priced camera and his lunchbox (the O.J Simpson collectible lunch box with matching thermos). He just grabbed Fanny and kept her from falling into another classmate, the ever-present... thePookie Spider Pig Mole-kid with his thick horn-rimmed glasses and obsiquious look of utter terror ever present upon his visage. Unfortunatly, being the jittery type and chosing this hallway and this moment to bring out his prize winning chemistry experiment for the Science Fair that afternoon he jumped and sent the beakers, vials, and various liquids crashing to the floor. "E-gads," Morris the Mole-kid shouted, ... wordsy as the vials and beakers broke and shattered the floor splashing their contents on to still stunned Fanny. Who begins to shreik in horror at the foaming floresence fluid that was eating it's way through the thin and flimzy material of her overly tight slacks. Jian~Ashen So little Fanny screamed and staggered to the floor, her body growing muscles where none existed before. When finally she stood up with an aching holler, she found to her surprise she was now three feet taller! Laurencia "EEEKS! shouted Fanny. What's happening to me?!" Fanny was now as tall as Lamar Jenkins, with three-inch whiskers covering her face and arms! "Lets go into the lab and I'll mix a potion that will take care of this problem." says Morris. So, they scurried off... ~j Fanny, crying in terror the entire time. But, as she discovered...."My glasses! I don't need my glasses anymore!" "Of course not," Morris replied, "because the experiment you just interrupted was my...." thePookie Spider Pig *incomprehensible psudo-Star Trek scientific babble deleted* and therefore you have exhibited a few of the traits I had hoped to test out on the rats over there, but since you've now become the test subject you will have to live in this cage. Fanny, taken aback and still screaming and she knew not why grabbed Morris the Mole-kid and shoved him into the over sized cage. "Hey," cried Morris ... wordsy You don't understand, it's not going to stop it's only began. The metamorphous once it's begun will run it course until it is done. And by then it'll be too late to change the course of this unknown fate. Laurencia "I..I..I don't care! I'm outta here!" Fanny runs down the hall, then trips over hair. "What the heck?" She could no longer run because her hair was so long...before she could get back up, Lamar Jenkins yelled, "Look, it's Cousin IT!" Fanny was horrified, she wobbled to her feet and hopped down the hall, out the building only to run into... ~j Mr. Phelps."All right. This is enough, loung lady. It's off to the Principal's Office for you!" But before he could steer her down the hall to her fate, Fanny gritted her teeth and.... MOO for President and grew fingernails that were nine inches long. These human daggers even scared Fanny and they made her hands weigh more than ten pounds each. Mr. Phelps had one of his assistants go find the school nurse at the dismay of Mole-kid, the boy scientist. thePookie Spider Pig Little did the nurse realize that I would be encumbered with heavy fingers that scratched the tile with an irritating scraping and hair that trailed off in all directions. "Who let that dog in here?" the nurse protested as she entered the office. "I'm a nurse, not a vet!" "Just fix her so we can get on with the day," groaned Mr. Phelps. "Yeah, I need a coiff and a manicure and could you bring me some nice smelling hand cream?" I said as I attempted to lift my arms but only managed to knock a plant over across the room with my fingernails. wordsy which continued to grow at an incredible rate."Oh woe is me" I cried in vain, "this surely will drive me completely insane". And as I wept and lay on the floor in walked the doctor through yon open door. "What is this?" he cried in alarm. Jian~Ashen "I think God did it," Fanny replied to his alarm, "to give me power over anyone who's ever done me harm." Adjusting to her newfound superhero-power fate, Fanny felt like she should wear a mask, outfit, and cape. Laurencia In just the short amount of time of being Cousin IT with finger nails weighing 10 pounds each, Fanny actually appreciated being the school geek and would do anything just to be herself."No nurse, manicurist or hair dresser is going to help this girl." says Mr. Phelps. A little voice in Fanny's head said, "Think good thoughts and click your finger nails together twice...repeat saying this to yourself and you will be fine." So, that is what Fanny did and then... ~j ... a small, wrinkled grizzly leprechaun popped out of the Band Aid box on the nurse's desk and hopped over to Fanny."I'm Smiley O'Rear and I'm here to help you!" he crowed in a gritty brogue. "O' Rear-- That's my last name too!" Fanny exclaimed. "Yes, yes, and I'm here to tell ye about our family secret!" "Family secret?!" gasped Fanny, and the leprechaun nodded his head, took his bubble pipe out of his teeth, and... MOO for President said, "O'Rear's have the golden gas when they eat a certain bean. Now I can't tell you the type of bean because I am here to send you on your quest to find the bean that will give you the golden gas... Now search high and low in cupboards, shelves and pantries and don't you stop until you find it. This golden gas will show you who your true friends are." Laurencia "I can’t find the golden gas…I can’t find it! Do I have true friends?” “Fanny, wake up, Fanny!” Mr. and Mrs. O’Rear kept saying. “Hmmm, what? What’s going on, where am I?” Fanny groggily asks. “You’re in the hospital Fanny, you stepped on a shovel and it hit you in the head and knocked you out cold." says Mr. & Mrs. O'Rear. "And of course you have friends, the older you get, the more you will realize who your true friends are. You will be lucky to have one true friend in your life time.” “I’m your friend.” Says Katy Smith lying in the bed right beside Fanny’s bed. You stick up for yourself and I like that.” The End The End! © Copyright 2004 Laurencia, ~j, MOO for President, Mia, wordsy, thePookie Spider Pig, Jian~Ashen, (known as GROUP). All rights reserved.
