Well, I'm not exactly--dead, what do you mean? See, although you guys THOUGHT I was dead, I never actually died. They switched baskets in the marketplace. So where have I been all this time, you wonder?
I was over at my friend Nickel's house one day back in the middle of July. It was evening, and we were waiting for the pizza dude. And then we got a phone call from my mom. It was nothing too important; she merely wanted to tell us that the house had caught fire, most of the damage was in my room, no one had been inside, thank God, yada yada yada. Oh, and one other thing--the lightning bolt that had started the whole mess had zapped the computer. We had no computer, no internet, and no Indyfan.
No Indyfan...no Indyfan...the words echoed, somehow, in my head. No Indyfan...no--"NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" I screamed. Nickel looked confused. "No what?" she asked. "No time to lose!" I replied. "We must find a computer--NOW."
And so,we got on a plane to go look for a new computer. There were only a few other passengers on the plane. I looked at them curiously. This one lady with bleached hair sat behind me,resting peacefully. I could tell that hair color wasn't real. Why any brunette would want to turn their hair blonde is beyond me. I looked across the aisle. There wa this guy, who was also napping, his face hidden by his hat. He was dressed really weird, like some kind of a lion tamer or something. Then there was this short Chinese kid who was asleep. Our only other companions were a bunch of noisy chickens.
I looked at the front of the plane. I blinked. I looked again. Hadn't there been 2 people up there a moment ago, flying the plane? They must have been the ones who jumped out while I was wondering what the lion tamer's face looked like. Suddenly, the plane was full of chaos. The short Chinese kid shouted that there were no more parachutes, the lion tamer got a life raft and told Shorty to get their stuff, and the blonde screamed something about how we weren't sinking,we were crashing. Then they were gone. I headed for the front of the plane, Nickel following. I sat down, looked at the huge mountain we were about to crash into, and then got control of the plane, flying safely over the mountain. Those 3 should have stuck around, instead of taking off in a flying boat.
"I didn't know you could fly a plane," Nickel said, sounding both surprised and relieved. "Fly, yes. Land--no," I answered casually.
I did manage a nice landing. A nice crash-landing, to be fair, but neither of us were hurt, and I had reached our destination, the Middle of Nowhere, a large island in the middle of the Nowhere Ocean.
Middle of Nowhere was inhabited by the natives, people called the Hovitos. The Hovito princess, Ulla, was the best friend of my evil twin, indies gurl, who had moved out here several years ago.
"How will we recognize this indies gurl when we see him?" Nickel wondered aloud. "Uh, indies gurl is a her, not a him. Remember, that identical twin I never told you about?" "Oh, yes, that indies gurl, I do remember. I knew that name sounded familiar. So anyway, how will we recognize her?"
Just then we heard a voice behind us. "Indy's Girl? Is that you?"
We turned around. Nickel exclaimed, "Amazing! She looks just like you! You're identical!"
I chose to ignore that comment. Just pretend you never heard it, I told myself, and maybe it will go away
"I knew it was you. You have my eyes." "And your ears," I said. "And I believe the rest also belongs to you."
"So what brings you here, anyhow?" "I need one of the computers our father collected, before he gave them all to you."
For some reason, she tried to hit me. I saw it coming and ducked just in time. Nickel must have been hungry, because that was some knuckle sandwich she got!
"I've learned to hate you in the last 10 years," indies gurl said to me.
Had it really been that long? "Sheesh, what did I do?" I wanted to know.
"I don't know, but just get out! I don't ever want to see your face again!"
"Then don't look in the mirror," I said under my breath. Nickel must have been famished. 2 knuckle sandwiches in one day!
