Some Characters and 1 sentence to describe: Gianna- Main character, a strange kind of kid with brownish hair and brown eyes, not so popular. Annabelle- Gianna's twin, blonde hair and blue eyes, very popular. Allianna- Gianna's BFF, red hair and green eyes, also popular, but very sweet, unlike bratty Annabelle.

XD Thanks. "Mom!" I froze, and cut off my internal monolouge, opting to shout across the room instead. I ignored the grawring in pain ho bare baer bear, Allerie trying to duck tape my ceiling, and Annabelle crying over Sparky's memory. We had been in here for hours, and the AAF12 was growing ever nearer. "What is it now, sweetie?" my mom, the perfect mix of Annabelle and I, with brown hair and blue eyes, yelled, which she never does. "Where is Aiden?" I screeched, biting my lip and glancing around the room wildly. Allerie dropped the pink duck tape, Annabelle froze, and even Rae the ho bare baer bear seemed to be silent, besides whimpers of pain every now and then. "Aiden? Oh my god, where's Aiden?" my mom shot me a panic filled and absolutely worrried expression, and started sifting through the crap that I could proudly call my room. It was obvious that nobody knew where my baby brother was. I was wondering how you could loose a 5 month old, but that was another story to tell another time. Maybe later, I could get extremely bored, but it's not likely. Yeah, I don't know. Current Wordcount: Who knows. Procrastination: Hell yeah. I'll never finish at this rate. Title: Purple Elephants Dancing.

Word Count: Somewhere near 10,000 SO BEHIND Write or Die: 2000 words an hour, even. "Note to self: When sister turns into cat, remember to get translator," Annabelle sighed and crouched down near me. "Gianna, it's going to be okay, we WILL fix this." I sighed, and I knew that everything would get better, and NOTHING weird would happen. I actually believed myself for a moment. CRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAASH! That... was my ceiling. Again. I blinked up at the mess, and saw a girl fall out of a hovering cardboard box. She had real cat ears sticking out of her head, and a matching tail. "Someone called for a cat to human translator?" the girl asked, her tail curled up. "Yeah, I did, I guess," Annabelle squeaked, scared, "Who are you?" "YO! BETTS! IN HERE! BRING THE OTHERS!" The girl yelled up through the hole in my ceiling, then turned back to my sister. "What did you say? Oh, I'm Candy, and my friends Betty, Icon, Jakie, and PFA, along with Orwellbot and Jindla, are coming right now." she pointed through the hole where a hoarde of cardboard boxes, with rainbows trailing out the back, were lowering themselves into my room. One by one, the people stepped or fell out of the boxes, then approached to stand next to the girl, Candy, except for a robot-like person, who sipped his tea and stood against the back wall, and the youngest, who was too small to get out of the cardboard box. Candy retreated to get the little girl, who looked to be about 3 years old... certainly too young to be flying around in cardboard boxes with robots and teenagers... at least, they looked like teenagers, but for some of them, mainly one in a pink hoodie and a freaky mask, and one who was holding an ax and listening to its iPod, which was a chorus of... screaming children. Pleasant.
"Try it, Annie Belle!" I squealed, using my nickname for her. "It is so so so fun!" I did another arch and did flips, rolling over onto my back in the air. She tentatively followed, and did a cart wheel. Annabelle seemed to have fun, but you could never be sure. Allerie was next, strangely silent, with a grin of utmost happy and despair covering her tanned face. She didn't worry about anything, and I was so happy about that. Then, that girl Betty stepped off the porch, floating up, making sure to stab someone with a syringe. She totally ignored Jindla as she flew past, using her wings as a little helper for her small body. Orwellbot, who sounded like the soul of George Orwell in a robot's casings.... "He is," Candy said kindly, blinking at me. I wondered why she could hear me. "Oh, I can read minds, and shoot fire. Very, very hot fire." she nodded, and so did the rest of the group. Anyway, Orwell's bot floated over to Betty started saying stuff to her. I was curious, but I didn't go closer. I knew that they probably wanted their privacy. I caught the words "Pattonbot" "Rommelbot" and "Seussbot" in their conversation, along with a thing named "Mouppy", but I wasn't sure what they were. "Um, Pattonbot, Rommelbot, and Seussbot are all other bots, along with this... thing... Proto Badger. PROTO BADGER HAUNTS YOUR DREAMS," Candy's eyes shook. I wondered how this was possible, but no answer. "Mouppy is my murdered daughter. Betty and PFA are also her parents, along with a bunch of other people," she explained, blinking the shock out of her eyes,"I never knew that people wouldn't know any of this stuff." "So, Pattonbot is the soul of someone Patton, Rommelbot is the soul of General Rommel, and Seussbot is Dr. Seuss?" I inquired, blinking back some confusion,"Proto badger sounds scary, and you and... a lot of other people share a daughter? I thought you could only have 2 parents, not..." I didn't know how many. "10. Ten parents. It was a DNA experiment. Don't judge," Candy's eyes filled with tears, and the girl she called PFA walked up, and talked to her about something she called "Lamp". The girls kept on talking about something that made no sense, they called it a "NTWF" and a "Neopian Times Writers Forum." I didn't know what a Neopian Times was, much less what a NTWF was! They kept on talking like this, and I walked away, just to call everyone back a second later. "So where do you think we are?" I asked the group, who were all staring at me. "I'm pretty sure we're in hell," one person said, I could not figure out who for the life of me. "Nah, not hell. Just.... some place with, like, no, like, gravity. At all," Candy squeaked, and turned to PFA for help. They said something about a "Torkie" and a "Dahila" both of which sounded like names, but with these weirdos I could never be sure. "Do you think we're in Tabloid Town still?" Jindla's squeak came from way up in the air, where she was flying above our heads. I sighed, and had no idea what a "Tabloid Town" even was. "Jindla, get down from there!" Candy flew up, her... powerful wings, even though I didn't know she had wings, failing her as she chased after the young girl. "Jindla! Come back or we'll never get back to Tabloid Town OR the Taco! Ever!" The people that had come in cardboard boxes all gasped, blinking shock out of their eyes, even Jakie, who was still listening to that dang screaming children stuff. "I don't see the earth," PFA said quietly to the person next to her, who was Annabelle, and her eyes widened. "Me, neither! Where's the earth! Oh my god!" she screeched. I froze, staring like a maniac, and ended up just going along with what we were going to do in the first place, and figure out where we were by exploring. "Guys, everyone pick someone to go with," I said quietly. Annabelle grabbed my arm, I saw Jakie and Betty gravitating toward each other, PFA got Candy, and Icon was stuck with young Jindla. Allerie decided to go with Rae the ho bare baer bear, and my mom was still looking for my brother, inside. That left Orwellbot. He stepped toward Betty, said something about rolling dice, and then I said, "Okay, we are going to split up, take our respective groups, and look for any clues to where the heck we are. Sound good?" Everyone nodded, and Annabelle and I positively floated and walked to a random part of the place we were. "It was NOT an illusion! I saw it and you saw it!" Annabelle argued, "and I had every right to tell them! What is your PROBLEM today?" "If you haven't noticed, I had a crowd in my room, I'm totally behind on my NaNo, we lost our baby brother, I turned into a cat, I was stabbed with a syringe, my feet turned gold, and now, out of all the things that possibly could have happened, we're stuck on the moon with a bunch of crazy people who live in a frozen taco!" I screeched at her, absolutely losing my temper and making Candy, PFA, and Annabelle stare at me. I was so glad that no other people were around, they were all still exploring like I told them to. "Well I'm sorry you had a bad day. Don't take it out on everybody just because you are so mad," Annabelle sighed, angry at me. I knew exactly what I wanted to do, and that was punch her. I hated when she was like that, and then I realized that everyone hated when I was like this. I bit my tongue and just leaped away, gaining air with every arch. "I am so sorry about her behavior, guys. It will never happen again, I promise," I heard Annabelle mutter to Candy and PFA.
Yes I did mention NTWFers, and I did appear in my story
