Once Upon a Time, Part 1

[Masøn M.]

(Hah, never mind)

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

(Eh?)

[Masøn M.]

“Okay, although I AM kind of amazed, WHY IN THE BUTTERFLY APOCALYPSE WOULD YOU NOT SHOW US THAT BEFORE!” yelled Peter.

“First off, do not use the Butterfly Apocalypse’s name in vain. That was long before your time, and it is not something to joke about. Second, I simply forgot I had it… I have quite a few things, actually…”

“Can we just go?” asked Dawn quietly.

“Definitely,” responded Josiah. “However, I must warn you… This thing is kind of unpredictable… You never know where we’ll end up…”

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

“Who cares? I’M OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!!!!!” yelled the ecstatic Mason.”
They all piled into the oversized snowglobe, and Josiah took up the controls. They then disapparated… and they were in the interdimensional vortex.
“Was that a Police Box?” Peter said in wonder.
“Probably,” said Josiah.
“This is weird,” said Dawn. “How are you controlling the ship by wiggling the arms of the snowman?”
“No idea.”
“Great.”
“I thought so.”
“WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!” said Mason.

[Masøn M.]

As they were flying through space, Peter tried to calm his mind and think about everything that had taken place. It’d only been a few hours since he’d gone off, traveling to the city, lost his best friend, met new friends, and now traveling through time and space. It seemed impossible. Yet he thought back to what the old man had said. “You never know what tomorrow holds”.

“Maybe he’s right,” Peter thought to himself. “Maybe there’s more to my life than… than my little village, my dreams… Carlos…”

Suddenly, the snow globe began blinking red from some unknown light source.

“Uh… uh, don’t worry!” Josiah said, trying to reassure everyone but with nervousness in his voice. “Everything is under control! Nothing is wrong! We’re all safe. Definitely. This happens all the time!”

[Awkward Potato]

“Are you sure?” Dawn asked.

“Totally!” Josiah chuckled nervously. “Just a few…minor engine problems. Nothing to be concerned abo-OH NO!”

The lights in the snow globe instantly shut off. Everyone screamed but Josiah, who was frantically working the controls. Alerts flashed everywhere, blinking “systems damaged” and “abort mission.”

“Peter!” Josiah shouted. “Push that button!”

“The one that says “do not push?”

“Yes! And hurry!”

[Wileycoyote]

Hesitantly Peter pressed the button. Everything stopped, everything was quiet, everything was dark and cold.

Dawn started glowing,” what did the button do”

Josiah tried to put their mind at ease, but failed miserably, ” well I actually don’t know, an old friend taught me the old snow globe trick and told me never to push the button but, well, we were about to die anyways so whatever.”

Suddenly the globe started shaking gently, there was a vibrating sound and everything got really bright. Then trees started popping up, there was a bridge made out of giant pretzels over a huge stream of milk with gumdrops as rocks around the banks. The trees were actual peppermint trees, the grass was pink bubble gum strands, there was giant cookies and the air smelled amazing. In the distance stood a beautiful candy house.

But beyond the sky there was giants, it looked like they were in a shop of some sorts.

” Are you guys thinking what I am thinking” said Dawn.

” well I think that button shrunk us down into the snowglobe.” Said Mason worriedly.

Everyone glared at Josiah… ” why did you make me hit that button! Now we are trapped in a snowglobe!!”

” hey guys the bright side is I trapped us into a very deliciously delectable snowglobe.” Josiah said jumping on a giant marshmallow…

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

“…at least from your point of view. Ew. Why did I jump on this vile confection? I say, is that a rhubarb patch? Excellent!”
Josiah quickly strode towards the rhubarb patch.
“What is wrong with this wacko?” Dawn said
“Umm… you’re the one that’s glowing,” said Peter
“Oh. Good point.”

[wileycoyote]

“Maybe we could go check out that candy house!” Said Mason. He loved candy and that house looked like a dream come true.

” haven’t you heard of Hansel and Gretel? I doubt anything good will come from that house. ” Josiah answered.

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

“Oh. Right,” Mason said.
“But it’s to the left,” said Peter.
“Shut up.”
“Okay.”

[Dawn]

Dawn rolled her shoulders and took a breath. She, Josiah, and soon-to-be Peter were all Time-Lords, equipped with special powers. This next task should be simple enough But Mason…Dawn cast a side glance at Mason. He looked awfully familiar. She began glowing the off-white color of memory…

*It was the Butterfly Apocalypse. Kristen, the Eldest of the Time-Lords, in a bout of madness contrived the end of the world and create another where only she and one other would remain. The other Time-Lords, of course, thought this idea insane and tried to stop the Eldest. But the Eldest was too powerful. She used up all her magic and power to make sure the deadly butterflies were set free.
In a bout of desperation, Dawn cast a spell of powerful scent and bright color to attract the flying beauties. Then the other Time-Lords slew the butterflies, making sure the Eldest’s rash act could never be completed.*

Dawn glowed a faint blue as she remembered the next part.

*Kristen came towards Dawn, fury flashing in her eyes. Dawn, unawares, started concluding the spell of color and smell. Then to her surprise, she was wrenched aside as the Eldest’s eyes bored into hers.

“Listen to me, and listen well, my once-upon companion. I will hunt down all the Time-Lords, one by one, and I will kill them. No one will get between my love and I!”

With that, the Eldest took the spell that Dawn was finishing and attached it to Dawn. With a shriek, Dawn realized she was shining a bright, blinding purple light. The Eldest had covered her eyes, and Dawn fled to the hills. The other Time-Lords captured the weakened Kristen (it’s no small feat taking another’s spell and making it bend to your will) and bound her, setting the Attorney General in charge of her prison.*

Dawn grimaced at the memory. The side effect of Kristen’s revenge was that she glowed her emotions. When she fell in the cave (which shouldn’t have happened, but may have turned out useful) she began to glow the purple of fear. The more intense the emotion, the brighter the light. After a fair bit of time, she found she could deaden her emotions so she didn’t glow anymore.
However, all Time Lords are synergists. They gain more power being around each other. Which unfortunately made controlling her emotions and glowing almost impossible.

A shout stopped Dawn’s contemplation and she was slammed back into the present once more

[Awkward Potato]

(Oooh! I love it!)

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

(Uhh… I don’t think you can become a Time Lord? I thought it was a race.)

[wileycoyote]

(To be honest that time Lord one threw me off lol let me read it again. Is Kristen a bad guy then? Who was the curse on? Sorry)

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

(Yes, Kristen is evil. Kristen is usually evil. I was hoping we could eliminate that stereotype, but whatever. I think the curse was on Dawn.)

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

(By the way, Wiley, feel free to introduce yourself in either the Heyo I’m Super Chris thread, or the It’s a Me Explosive Yeast thread.

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

[Poulet Frit]

(YAY!!!!! I’M EVILLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!! oh I love how this is going!! Who is my love??)

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

(Ooh, I missed that part. This should be entertaining.)

[Awkward Potato]

(I think your love is Aaron Tveit, from Dawn’s butterfly apocalypse story. But I could be wrong.)

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

(But it would be funnier if it was somebody else.)

[Masøn M.]

(I feel like it’s my job to write in a love for Kristen now… But who…)

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

(Somebody awkward. Definitely somebody awkward.)

[Poulet Frit]

(Preferably not 5’5…)

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

(What?)

[Poulet Frit]

(…nevermind)

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

(I think I know what you meant, poor wording on my part, but do you really think we would do that?)

[Poulet Frit]

(Some people just like to watch the world burn)

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

(Staring at a single word seems pointless.)

[Poulet Frit]

(Check again. Thank you, edit button)
