Adventure Fantasy Funny

A few friend's such as B, Aerin and Kate were sitting on the couch and Watching the Wizard of Oz as it was Movie Friday. Aerin was humming 'over the rainbow' despite it being way past that part in the movie.

"Come on when can we watch something else? we've watched this like 5 or six times already" Bri asked her while eating some popcorn. She knew some others Like Itay would be there soon and she wasn't sure if they Liked this Movie or not.

"Sorry nope! Friday is My Day to pick the movie we watch you know that, and i say we watch the wizard of oz!" Aerin told the two of them. dang it i forgot that we have the days for each of us to pick! she sighed.

"Then when is My day?" Brooke asked as she entered the living room with some Popcorn. They all had days to pick a movie or show but everyone besides Aerin forgot when the day for them was.

Aerin continued to hum 'over the rainbow' but it was still way far in the movie now from when that song happened. Though she was paying attention to what everyone was saying because she then pointed to something like a Calender.

Brooke walked over to the Thing, was that always there? she didn't think it had been. "My day is on Sunday??" she asked, sounding surprised by learning this.

"What's the big deal with it Brookey? that's just two more days until you can pick." Kate asked a bit confused and she sat up. Kate's day was on Monday while B's day was on Tuesday.

Brooke started to take the Calender thing off the wall to bring it over to them when they then hear the doorbell ring a couple of times. Both B and Aerin seemed to shoot up after hearing the ringing and B paused the movie.

Brooke jumped back a bit startled by this as she dropped it to the floor. "Gosh! what was that about??" she asked the two and started to walk over to the front door. i mean their probably just excited a bit...

"who is it?" Aerin asked kind of shouting it since she was still laying on the Couch. maybe its him finally...hes been on vacation for a few months now she thought.

"Its me, Itay." They hear the voice say on the other side of the door a bit muffled. It wasn't just Itay, i mean he WAS alone but there were supposed to be a few more people coming like Nayab and Laiba.

Aerin sighed a little bit though she was still happy that someone else came that day. dang it i thought that it would be him...well i mean he's in France for a few more months, unless he came back a bit early.

B walked up to Brooke and opened the door since she had just been standing there for a few minutes now. "Heya Itay come on in" she told him with a small smile and opened the door wider.

"Where are the others? weren't they coming with you or something?" Kate then asked as Itay walked over and took some popcorn.

"They were but Nayab and the few others were busy so they'll come a bit later today, sorry." Itay told the three of them with a small smile. "Wizard of oz?" he then added asking it towards Aerin.

She didn't seem to respond though as she lay on the couch not looking at any of them, was she snoring?? "oh! um she's asleep..." Kate mumbled not sure what to do.

"rainbows...Novel...i wanna live on a rainbow..." Aerin mumbled in her sleep. well uh thats some of the weirdest sleep talking i've heard in a long time... Brooke thought to herself as they all just kinda watched this.

B decided to turn off the movie for the night, the others wouldn't go to sleep they just didn't wanna wake Aerin up. "wait no she's like a dad with the sports-" Kate started to say but B had already turned it off.

Aerin suddenly wakes up and sits up quickly her leg accidentally hit a few bottles of something on a table in front of them. The strange things in the bottles then suddenly poured out onto some books, it wouldn't have been so bad until they realized what happened.

The strange bottle things had poured down onto some of B's Novels along with a bit of Aerin's and Kates. "No no no! my stories!" B then ran over to all of them which seemed to be completely soaked now.

"Oh gosh! um im sorry we could try to clean..." Aerin started off when they then all noticed something strange. Bright lights were starting to shoot up from the soaked novels which were the same color as the things that had poured onto them.

None of them knew what was happening until it began to suck them all into something, were they going into the stories?? "Aw no...please let it be rainbows please let it be rainbows..." Aerin mumbled right as she got sucked in.

"oh no mrs Kate i don't feel so good...." B mumbled as she got sucked into the thing right after Aerin. oh gosh what's even going on??

"why....why did you have to quote infinity wa-" Both Kate and Brooke got sucked in at the same time only leaving Itay there now. well crap...what did those things even do to them?? are we gonna die or something?

"Hey guys we're finally here, sorry for the..." Nayab and Laiba entered the house but stopped when they saw Itay starting to Disappear. what did we just walk in on...?? laiba thought.

"yeah...nope! bye" Nayab then grabbed Laiba and picked her up, the two of them then left the house. i don't think we're gonna go back there for a little while...

"my...gosh....its beautiful!" Everyone heard Aerin say and she sounded close to crying from something. they all were in different areas of something when they then walked over to see what was going on.

Everyone gasped in shock in what they saw, they were IN B's demi-god story and they could even see some of Aerin's characters and Kates Characters walking around. she was right...it wa-...wow... B thought.

There were large and small rainbows in the sky they could see some people riding on them which must have been Harmony and Iris. well i guess that's the reason she said that, oh no is she going to ride one??

While Aerin began to go ride on a few rainbows without the characters noticing her the rest of them gathered behind a few trees. "What do we do?? we can't be here what if something bad happens??" B asked starting to freak out a little.

"Well we should just stay here for a bit longer to explore and then try to find a way to get outta this place." Itay said and put a hand on her shoulder. Everyone nods in Agreement.

Dude, I loved this story! Thanks for using my name in it. I liked how you showed us everyone's thoughts through italics, it was a good way to develop all the characters more since there are so many. I also thought it was cool how you didn't really describe the setting where they were watching the movie, it allowed me to use my own imagination. That being said, I thought there were a couple of missed opportunities to add in some cool description, like when the bottles of "something" get knocked over, what does that "something" look like. Cool...

Thank's im glad you did ^^ i mean you still fully appeared in it so it wasn't just your name, what else would i even call ya? I might even add some of YOUR characters in the next part as well at some point. I didn't really know how to describe the things so thats why i never really did. I've been wanting to do the little Infinity war reference for a little while and i guess your right ^^ there's still one other story i've made that i want ya to check out and leave feedback to which is "Crossover"

03:15 Sep 12, 2020

It would be really cool if you added in some of my characters, but no pressure, you've already got a pretty big cast. Don't worry about the description thing, it didn't ruin the story in any way. It's way too late here, so I'll just leave a like on "Crossover" and go check it out tomorrow. P.S I wrote four new stories this week, inspired by how much you manage to create and post every week. I'd love it if you went and checked them out!

I would say the description of the scenes. I liked reading about the friends, it almost felt like I knew them. I like the part after they realise Aerin's asleep. In my mind it was so funny and kinda sweet :)

Though I'm a little confused, earlier I told you to see if you could find my thing for the Reedsycast, and then you commented on this. I mean the thing I submitted a little while ago to be in your Reedsycast story, since you have a link to the quiz in your bio and all that.

Reply

15:23 Mar 06, 2021

Oh, wow. I'm stupid. I thought you meant your Reedsy Cast story. Ugh. Now that I know what you mean, I can answer your question. I do not have your response to my Reedsy Cast form. If it wouldn't be too much trouble, could you re-do it using the link in my bio?

16:38 Mar 06, 2021

Yeah, I actually just re-did it, and that's alright everyone makes mistakes. I probably should have said something else to make it a bit more clear. Though now that I did it again, could you go search for the response on the forms?

You invited me over so here I am. (That sounds like I'm at your house). I like that you put in Aerin and yourself and possibly someone else I don't know! It was funny that Aerin was asleep when she got sucked inside. I've told Sia this, and I'll tell you. The pillars of your story are all there, it's the grammar problems that make the story difficult to read. Don't forget capital letters, don't use too many ellipses points or exclamation marks, don't misuse commas. Here's one example: ""oh no mrs Kate i don't feel so good...." B mumbled ...

14:55 Sep 12, 2020

Aerin wasn't asleep when she got sucked in, she had been asleep but she woke up before she did so everyone was awake when they got sucked in. I know i still have to work on the Grammar and the few other things. Alright, i'll go back and edit/fix a few of those things real soon ^^ did you maybe have a favorite part?

I think... they'd explore for a bit, discover new and wacky things, and MAYBE go home. Then part three could be them as adults meeting up at work or something. I don't know, but that's what I'd do if I'd written this :)

Brooke thought to herself- emphasize how this is different from all the times she thinks to other people. That, or drop 'to herself; since such is the default condition for thinking. Again, you are spotty on capitalization- which might be catastrophic if you misspelled Laiba's name by misplacing her eye. Heinlein's "Number of the Beast" as well as The tales of Thursday Next by Jasper Fforde use worlds created by fiction. Even Twain's Connecticut Yankee has the protagonist moving into a world of fiction. So this is a strong tradition ...

Alright thank you ^^ i'll go to edit it soon, i actually did finish editing "Crossover" as well with the things you said. I just kinda felt like near the end is when they would be going into the book land, Though don't worry since part 2 will be longer and won't just have them quickly get back into the real world

I'm sorry but i forgot, i'll tell you when i remember the name. At first we had thought it was Mia Rigini though (or however you need to say it) because of how she was acting and how she said she was 'proud to say' that she was the down-voter in her Bio. But it turns out for some reason she was lying to get attention and other reason. I hate that crap though, she didn't have to do any of that stuff. (crap as referring to what she's been doing) but then recently a girl i forgot the name of said on i think one of Batools stories of how she was...

Wow, B.! This story was really good! And thanks for adding me! It means a lot to me and I appreciate it! The storyline itself was amazing, and I loved Aerin being obsessed with rainbows and riding them with Iris. Advice: You are definitely getting better with your grammar, but I can still spot little things here and there throughout the story. Also, when everyone was getting sucked into the books, maybe you should have added a bit more description. Other than that, perfect! -Brooke D.
