Story Fragment 1 

Written in...maybe early february? I can't really remember anymore. Basically this was ment to be ripley's intro. It takes place in a diffrent AU from the first set of stories with Wrandy and Cade, who both belong to TheQuandry. This bit was written with him, but I never finished it unfortunately. 

	It was late february, and Ripley Musca had just finished her second week at Eastwood Middle school, which in her opinion, had been a hellish experiance so far. She hated the fact that she'd have to move in the middle of the school year, and leave behind everyone she'd known back in Cicada Falls. She hated that she and her sister had been having to share the fold out couch bed while her father waited for their furniture to finish arriving, and she hated, that her father was too busy to spend a spare moment at home while he worked to get his new store in order for it's grand opening. 
	She hadn't even seen another insect outside of her family scince the move, and she really hated the way that everyone kept looking at her. Hadn't they ever seen a bug before?  She wished that her father had just waited til next year to make the stupid move, at least then she would be in highschool. At least it was Friday though, and she had two days to just relax and try to get herself together, maybe week three wouldn't be as bad as the first two had been. Her father kept telling her that this was an oppertunity to reinvent herself and make new freinds. Yeah right.
Ripley was a house fly. Thirteen years old, and short for her age. Her limbs were lanky, and 'weird' thanks to the fact that thanks to her insectoid anatomy, she resembled a ball jointed doll, the joints being a darker grey than the rest of her pale grey skin. Her little hands were quite strange, each with two fingers and a thumb, and her feet were also a bit odd having only two toes each.  Despite the fact she would be fourteen this summer, Ripley still hadn't developed any curves at all, and was still pancake-flat on her chest and had thinner hips than most of the boys she saw wandering around. 
	Ripley hated all the things that made her look buggy. She always had thought they made her look odd, but now that there wasn't another insect in sight, she wished more than anything that she could hide her oddities,including her long clear wings, and the chubby little gaster (** a gaster is technically the hindmost part of an ant, bee, or wasp, however I liked the term and will use it for ripley's tail from here on out.)  that sat just about her flat ass where a nice normal tail could have been.  She didn't like her compound blue-green eyes, or the odd proboscis that waited further down her throat either. She wondered if they had a surgery to make her look more normal. 
	Really,she thought she must be quite uglt with her overly large eyes, slim lips, and the small slitted bump that passed for her nose. At least she could hide some of her ugly mug with her hair, which after a good deal of begging, her father had allowed her to dye the toxic green colored she longed for, and had let her keep her choppy, punky hairsytyle that fell down to about her shoulders.  It made her feel just a little bit better, and a little bit more grown up that her father had refused to allow her younger sister Fenella to do the same. 
	 She had new clothes too, and that was very exciting, her dad even let her pick them all out on her own, and wearing one of her new outfits, made her feel a little less shitty about the weekl. She'd chosen a grey t-shirt, a tight pair of black skinny jeans, a lovely pleather jacket, complete with pins of her favorite bands, and a little glossy pair of black boots that had just a tiny bit of heel to them and lots and lots of straps. He'd also bought her the backpack she'd been coveting for months. Soft and flufft with large plush spikes all over the back. She'd wished she'd thought to ask him for some make up, as her face felt naked whens he saw all of the other girls in school wearing it. 
	Right now though, more than anything, Ripley just wanted to go home, forget about school, and maybe play some video games for a few hours. If she was lucky, maybe she'd even be able to talk her dad into taking her and Fen out for pizza.  As she walked, twords the bus station, She'd been refusing to take the school bus, she heard the familiar sound of a skateboard rolling up behind her, and turned to catch sight of the two boys that she often saw walking home in her direction. 
	Mounted on the skateboard which was rumbling twords her was Cade, a pretty white samoyed with fluffy white fur and sandy blond hair, and walking along side him was a small white mouse, with big front teeth,s oft loooking brown hair big blue eyes, and round framed glasses, he like ripley was small for his age. Wrandy was just doing his best to keep up with the boy on the board.
	Within a few seconds, Ripley found herself waylayed by the duo as they moved up along aside her. "Hey there." The mouse chirpped a greeting "you're new. We saw you in class, but you know she couldn't exactly say hi there, so we're going to say hi now."
"hi" Cade added with a smile and a small wave
	Ripley was a bit shocked when the boys suddently approched her, and she had to force a smile, as she was really very uncertain as to why they were talking to her. "Oh, uh, Hi. Yeah I started a couple of weeks ago...they just changed my schedual around today.." She llooked at the puppy, and then the mouse,, and began walking again. She really did want to get home. 

Story Fragment 2
The first story bit with Coal and his twin sister Candy. Candy is jelous and cranky about the amount of time that her brother has been spending with other girls online and proceeds to have a tantrum. Coal, as usual, ends up confused. 

"Coal. I've been watching you eat chips and stare at the computer for like three hours now. When are we gonna go?" 
His sisters high pitched whine pulled Coal out of his line of thought, and he had to pause for a moment to go over what she'd said to him in his head. "Oh, uh. Sorry." he looked over at his sister which were it not for her hair, would have been very much like looking into a mirror. His sister was scrawny, shortish (nevermind that she was slowly getting taller than him), and had pale brown fur.
"Sorry..I just wanna make sure that I've got everything right before we take off..I've gone over the list a few times but..you know it's better to be safe than sorry! We're gonna be gone for a whole week." Coal looked back at his computer, closed out of his games, and then looked back at the packing list he'd made "you get your laundry done? You got enough clean underwear and stuff..?"
"Uh, yeah. I managed, thanks Mom." His sister rolled over on his bed and looked at him. "We're just going over to our uncle's. It's  not like it's a huge deal or anything.." She rolled back onto her side and pulled his blanket up over her head. "Ugh. just hurry. I wanna have some fun tonight, an I know you wanna get home so you can finish that quest with your freinds."
"We could just stay in." Coal said, somewhat hopefully. "We don't nessisarily have to go out just becuse it's friday.."  he leaned back in his computer chair and looked at his sister again. "I mean.." he looked back at his pc "We've got all night,we could proubly score some of that new armor..and.."
"No Coal. I don't wanna stay in the house. it's acutally -nice- out. I wanna go do something."
Coal sighed. Usually if he pressed, the allure of video games was enough to get him out of having to deal with other people, but he knew when she got like this, it was impossible to change his sisters mind. Still he had to grumble about it, especially when he saw the name DocFly show up on his freinds list. "aaah..Ripley even just got on. You -love- Ripley." His sister, did not infact love Ripley, but she did like her well enough. He looked over at her again, hopeful if only vaugely.
His sister did not move from her pouting position. Darn. Coal sighed and then leaned over to send a quick 'txt me plz' to Ripley, before standing up. 
"You like that girl don't you?" Candy asked, her head still wrapped up in his blanket, and a strange, grumpy tone to her voice. "you get all stupid and excited whenever she or that monkey show up..." 
Coal blushed "It's not like that! It's just nice to have other people to game with once in awhile , and uh, Ripley's blog is cool. They have a lot of neat resturants and like..."
"Don't lie." Candy seethed from under the blanket. "Let's just go. Put some real pants on." She sat up and violently shoved the blanket onto the floor, just leaving it there as she stalked out of his room.
Coal stared after her having no idea at all what could have put his sister in such a sour mood. Sure, he had been talking to Ripley a lot lately, but it was fun! She was kinda cute..but that didn't matter at all, becuse he tottally wasn't intersted in her like that. Insects were not his thing, he was pretty sure about that. Even if they were cute, and liked games, and liked spooky stuff and posted lots of..really cool pictures of themselves on their blog, and even if she did live just like fourty-five minuets away from their uncle's house.
It certainly wasn't like Ripley was the only girl that he talked to. There were at -least- three other girls in their group not counting his cousin Kori and his sister. Ripley wasn't like, special to him or anything. Coal looked back at his friends list, and his heart sank a little more when he saw that Ripley had put up her away message without answering him. Oh well. 
Coal stumbled around his messy floor and moved to dig around in his banged up old dresser for some 'real pants' as apparently his sister was currently offended by his pajamas.
Five minuets later Coal was downstairs and dressed in a pair of formerly black jeans that were filled with holes at this point and a worn out black t-shirt that simply had red claw marks across the chest. His shoulder length near-black hair was unbrushed and messy, but he'd taken the time to put on his black dollar store eyeliner and shadow, which matched the chipped paint on his nails. He would have worn the lipgloss too, but, he had a nasty habit of sucking it off and making his teeth all black and messy and..that wasn't cute, so he figured he could go without for the moment. they weren't going anywhere good anyways. 

Story fragment 3
A much more recent story chunk. Uh, basically Coal is online friends with Ripley and they had been talking for years, and after she moved (which happened several months prior to this chunk) she finally lived close enough that he had a chance to meet her. Coal, of course had no idea how much ripley had changed over the past few months, or that she'd managed to aquire a boyfriend in that time. 

It had gone so much worse than he had expected. Coal knew that Ripley had been acting diffrently since the move, but, he never imagined that she could have changed so much. Was it all just becuse her mom left? Now he had two weeks at his uncle's house with nothing to do. She'd really added insult to injurying making him meet up with one of her other boyfriends. She'd always been so flirty with him, had he misread all of that?
Coal waited at the park and checked his phone again. His uncle and his sister were heading twords there to come and get him, but they were waiting on food, so he too would have to wait.  He flipped through his cellphone and looked at Ripley's number, and his thumb hovered momentairly over the delete button. He didn't even want to think about Ripley right now.  He sighed and picked at his nailpolish, chipping a few black specks off onto the sidewalk, and scuffed the filthy rubber toe of his old high-tops across it. He couldn't wait to get home and just log into his game and fucking forget about life for a few hours. 
Just as he was about to stuff his phone back into his pocket, it began to vibate in his hand, and he glanced at it quicky, the name BBananaBBaby popped up to the surface and he smiled faintly. At least not -everyone- had abadoned him. HIs phone vibrated again as he received yet another message. He flicked his thumb across the screen and his eyes darted over her words. 
'Nd ur hlz whr r u >3<
i kp dyin hr TT_TT'
Coal smiled. At least someone needed him. Even if it was just for his hot sexy healing spells. He waited for a few moments to reply and wrote back
"Do Better."
He shoved his phone back in his pocket and closed his eyes, sort of enjoying the warm comfortable weather. Summer vacation was going to be starting soon. No more cyberschool (not that he did his homework most of the time anyways), and he'd have all the time in the world to hang out with Banana, Candy, and the rest of the gang. He sighed and opened his eyes again.  The air felt a little bit damp, like it might rain..and that'd be nice. He hoped it did. Maybe tommrow he'd just sit around, eat snacks and have a private horror movie marathon. He felt his pocket vibrate again, but, for the moment he just ignored it.  He reeeaaaally wanted to talk to Banana, but, if he wanted til he got home he'd proubly have a nice backlog of messages from her that he'd be able to read at his leisure. His phone buzzed a few more times, and finally, his uncle's car rolled up, so he hopped off the little wall he had been sitting on, and hurried inside.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"you do better butthole." the tiny monkey grumbled when she got her response, and she shut her laptop. She was done playing that silly game for a few hours now anyways. She crawled on her hands and knees over to her bed, and stopped for just a moment to look at herself in the mirror. She needed a bath. Maybe tommorow. Proubly not.  She flopped on her belly and stared up at her bed. It was so close but so faraway. She sighed and just pulled her pillow down onto the floor and pressed her face into it and made a few annoyed muffled noises and kicked her legs. 
Blossom was eleven years old, nearly twelve though, she kept reminding herself. If uh, nearly counted as six months away, She was much shorter than her age would imply and as thin as a rake, all sharp angles and pointy edges, with nothing that provided her with the ablity to look 'girly' outside of her clothing choices. She had pale cream colored fur that would undoubtly bleach to a near white when she started getting too much sun,and her skin was a few sickly shades paler than that. She didn't like the term 'sickly' when it applied to her, but it wasn't untrue..she was sick a lot. She didn't like how stupidly breakable she was. 
The girl was only dressed in a pair of panties which read 'wensday' despite the fact it was now saturday and an undershirt which bore colorful cartoon ponies on the front, at the moment to attempt to stave off the filthy heat that was invading her cramped attic bedroom. The undershirt was torn, and the elastic on her panties had frayed, but she couldn't really afford new ones just yet. She reached back and snapped the fabric of her panties, which thanks to their state of decay, ment they did not snap back into palce,  before she leaned back a bit more so she could itch her bum and then flopped back out again. 
The girls scrawny under-developed body went taut as she stretched out as far as her short limbs would allow, and her long messy baby blond hair (that would soon be a beautiful pastel color of her choosing if she could only save up a few more dollars) fell into her face and down her back and her long tail twisted back behind her, and as best as she could, around her laptop to drag it over to her. and then she pulled it up and opened it again so she could look at her emails. spam, smap, penis enlargement, sale on clothes she still couldn't afford. Boring. item on her wishlist on sale, nooo she had to resist that. She wasn't even going to look. she didn't need new games right now. She needed cute hair. She pulled her slowly creeping panties out of her butt again and sighed before she just lifted her hips up and started to peel out of the damn things.  
"Uuuuggghhh.."Blossom rolled onto her back and then used her odd hand-like feet to peel the panties off and off of her way, before she flung them into her laundry corner. Her room was really kind of a sty but..she'd get to it, eventually. She was sticky and cranky and she just didn't know what to do with herself, so she punched her pillow a few times and then pulled out her laptop again. "Coaaaaaaaaaaaaal' she texted the beaver again, and then tilted her head. It seemed that she'd missed a message earlier in the day. She pulled up her chat screen and a wide smile broke out on her face "oooh! Sleepover!" She said excitedly as she read Ripley's invite to come and stay a few days with her. She'd get to meet most of the guild if everyone went, and that'd be baller. She giggled excitedly and shot up before she grabbed her pony-themed night shirt off the bed, pulled it on over her noggin and her large ears and sped off to go and ask permisson.
