I'm ripping off Titantic, using the name of a Disney movie, and playing with 1013's M&S. So sue me. ( Ducking and covering head) Not really! Please! Summury: What if the FTF toys have the spirit of their likeness? Part 1: "Our very element": Summury: A tragic parting.(AngstGrin!) Notes: Geez, the write-up is longer than the story part! you say. But I am writing this on a Windows 3.1 laptop that has a _very_ small hard drive.... About this story: Weird, right? Well, my mom inspired me. See, a couple of days ago my mom, dad, and I went to the pet store. There is a Kay-Bee right next to it and in the discount bin outside there was one pair of FTF plastic figurines for 4.99 each, marked down from 16.99 each. We didn't get them, but my mom went back to see if they were still there as a Christmas gift to me, being as I have the soundtrack,video,and full novelization by CC. But they only had Scully. She searched the whole entire bin. Someone bought Mulder and not Scully. About the kids names: Rachel, the hero,(part 2) and Tobias, the ' villian' are named after my two favorite characters in Animorphs. Dedicated to: Mom, my inspiration, David & Gillian, who look really bad in plastic but great in real life, and my friends ( and proofers/critics ) Allison, Erin, and Jessie. And to K.A. and Jake whoever and wherever you are. **************************************************************************** Toy Story- Part One- Our Very Element (1/1) **************************************************************************** We were so close and yet so far. Sitting amongst the ruins of the holiday, shoppers cast disinterested looks at us as they dug in the discount bin. We weren't Teletubbies or Beenie Babies so they did not notice us. We could still talk to one another, but we could not touch. We were seperated by our very element. Plastic. Suddenly, interest. "Mommy,mommy,look! It's FGI man Mulderrr!" the child slurred. "The one from T.V.!" "No,Tobias." "Pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaassse?!?!?!?!?" "No." "WAHHAHAHHAHAHAHH!" "Stop! Tobias! Stop it! Now!" Tobias stuck his bottom lip out. "Not until I get Mulderrr." "I can't." "WAHAHA-" "Shut up already! Fine! Just stop!" "Yeah!" The mother reached into the discount bin and grabbed him. "Mulder!" I rasped in inauitable toy-talk. "Scully!Scully!Scully!" "MULDER!" "Promise me you'll find me, Scully! Promise me you'll go on!" "I'll never let go, Mulder. I'll never let go." "Scully! Scully........" ********************************************************* Mulder was vaguely aware as the young blond-haired boy clutched his box. Then, a frightful red light, blindingly radiant, passed over him. "Stupid thing." The cashier muttered. Again, the laser passed over his plastic shell. BEEP! " Five twenty-three, please." He heard a horrid crashing sound as the coins fell into the metal drawer. Then, he was falling. He landed, fully intact, in a white, shifting pocket. "Come on , Tobias." The child was rooting though the discount bin. "Hey ma! It's Godzilla!" "I already got you Mulder." "WA-" "Okay, okay. Geez." A few minutes later, a huge plastic dinosaur fell in the bag beside him. Suddenly, Mulder wished he was alone. ******************* Merry Christmas and Happy Kwanza! Thanks for reading! Stay tuned for Part 2- "Abducted and Rescued"- After Christmas! littlee86@yahoo.com
