PairingsInAHat: The Fanfic Thread. [K(G), R,H]

TheWebbuilder

Yeah, I have completely lost my mind. I'm basically going to write two versions of each pairing, one will be serious the other pure crack...

Someone explain to me why I'm doing this, since the stories are going to stink worse than the unknown goop in the refrigerator? Ah well, up first we have BeastManxMedi, along with FortexSlur.

Up first, BeastManxMedi! Otherwise known as 'BeastMan the stalker'. Serious.

Begin!

He beat me at everything...

It infuriated me. No matter how much Dark Power I drew upon, I could never destroy that meddling blue pipsqueak... He destroyed me in battle; not once, but three times.

And the strange thing is that that doesn't matter to me anymore...

What matters is that he beat me again-

At love.

After our last encounter, I lay battered and bruised in the deep reaches of the UnderNet. I was struggling just to maintain my life... It was torture to border that close to deletion, at any given moment I could slip over the edge and be gone from existence.

I craved the Dark Power, knowing full well that it would both save and destroy me. But that was my fate, I lived to taste that power. That Power made me who I was and what I am, it was the only thing that mattered to me.

Until that day...

How much time had passed I don't know, but I had regained enough of my strength to walk and move. No longer was I a helpless rat on the floor. I ventured out of the UnderNet, trying to decide just how to exact my revenge on that pest, as well as to find a Dark Chip to relieve my suffering.

I stepped out into the outside Network, trying to find out where I was.

And then I saw her... If only I had known what I was getting myself into.

She was a white female Navi, dressed in blue and white. Her hair was dark, and framed both sides of her face in their long locks, the rest was gathered up into a high bun, and kept in check with a white hairband.

I stopped studying her. She was just walking down the Network's path, doing nothing but talking with her unecessary Net Op.

And then terror descended her in the form of a massive BigBrute. The massive virus attacked her without any warning with his deadly breath.

She slid to one side, and launched what looked like several cold pills in reply.

Intrigued, I watched the battle. The little white one held her own, dealing more damage to the BigBrute than she received. The battle continued for several seconds, until the Beast managed a lucky shot that slammed into her chest and sent her flying backward.

The girl hit the ground head-first. I could tell that she had lost consciousness almost immediately.

The Brute crackled in glee and moved in for the kill.

To this day I don't know if I understand what posessed me to do what I did.

Without hesitation I leapt into the fight, my claws eager for the joy of combat and the feel of an enemy's life ebbing away. I bounded forward, touching down between the girl and the Brute before launching myself at the virus. I let out a snarl as I raked my left claws raking acrossed it's face.

The Brute gargled in surprise- it was the last thing that it ever did. The next second my right hand shot forward, skewering the beast through the chest.

I locked eyes with the BigBrute, drawing a sense of satisfaction from it's deletion. This was all that mattered, one beast destroying another.

And then I pulled my claw back as the Brute exploded in a shower of pixils.

A soft moan drew my attention, and I turned to find that it had come from that girl. She was waking up, even from this distance I could see her eyes opening.

For a moment, I was tempted to stay- to let her know that I had saved her... That annoyed me, why did I care if she knew what I had done? I had joined in the fight for the sake of fighting, not to save her hide. Besides, I couldn't stay- if they found out that I was still alive then it would ruin my revenge... And then there was that annoying pain in my side, it was signalling that I needed a Dark Chip- and needed one soon.

I couldn't take the chance, I bounded away and back into the shadows- puzzled over my actions but confident that nothing like this would happen again. All I needed was a Dark Chip and everything would be fine.

If it had only been that simple.

The next day the same thing happened. I was heading back to that sniveling Dark Chip dealer when I came to that same area of Network- and there she was again. Everything was the same, she was just walking down the path without a care in the world.

I crept back into the shadows, unwilling to reveal myself- yet unable to take my eyes off of her.

The next day I found myself at that section of Network. I was early. Again I watched that Navi walk down the path- and this time I heard her name.

Her name was Medi.

The fourth day I wasn't even thinking about Dark Chips, I was there waiting on Medi to pass me by.

Time and again I was tempted to reveal myself. I didn't understand it. Why was I caring what she thought? Why did I want her to notice me?

Did I... have feelings for her?

The Dark Chips, they had stopped satisfying me. No matter how many I abused they didn't give me the same high as they perviously had... Was it because I was desiring something else?

Was I desiring the love of another?

The love of Medi?

About a month passed, I continued to try and understand these feelings. I never failed to show up and watch for Medi, and she never failed to appear.

I wish that it had stayed that way...

I was nervous, I had finally worked up the nerve to go up and talk to Medi. I was afraid, and that was something foreign to me. But I had no choice, I was dieing to talk to Medi, to hear her voice...

I was dieing for her to love me as I loved her.

She came around the bend, and stepped down the path.

I steadied myself and took a step out of the shadows.

She noticed me almost immediately, and stopped. I.... I think she was wondering who I was and what I wanted with her.

But then HE showed up. He defeated me again... This time for the affection of Medi.

RockMan!

The blue pest stepped off of a nearby portal and instantly his eyes were locking onto me.

I growled in disbelief. Not here! not now! Medi! I had to talk to her!

The pest screamed a warning to Medi, telling her to take cover.

I tried to tell him that I meant no harm...

Then a shot from the RockBuster ripped through me. I stumbled back in shock, feeling the pain from the wound welling up inside of me.

Anger ignited within me, this was what I got for caring! For feeling for Medi I had grown weak, pathetic, I had sunk to the level of those foolish Net Op loving Net Navis I had sworn to destroy! With a scream of fury I launched myself at RockMan- I'd rip him to shreds!

And I lost... just like always...

Yet the damage inflicted by RockMan is nothing compared to the ache that eats at me from inside. As I slipped off, just barely avoiding deletion, I looked over my shoulder-

Medi... my Medi... She was thanking RockMan for his help. Her eyes... you could see it in her eyes... She was in love but not with me... she would never know how I felt, all she would know was the devotion of RockMan.

It made me sick.

And that's why I'm here... lying on the floor of the UnderNet... Dark Chips both saving and destroying my life.

Dark Chips are all I have...

All there is for a tortured soul like me...

End Fic!

Next: FortexSlur! Otherwise known as 'Dear Annie'.

Slur sighed, she despised what she was about to do... but she had no other choice.

That face, these feelings, it was all driving her insane. This was something she couldn't talk with Duo about. Putting aside the fact that he was her boss and there were some things that a lackey didn't discuss with her employer; Duo was considered male, and she needed to talk to another female about these conflicting feelings.

And there was only one other female on this forsaken planet that would understand. Besides, it wasn't like she could write to 'Dear Annie' and ask for advice... No, this was something that she had to do.

The white and green Navi sighed as she drifted deeper into the UnderNet. This had never happened before, why would it happen now?

Why did that face haunt her? It was a face of hate, rage, anger... and yet... there was something deeper, something underneath the anger. It was something bordering on... helpless desire.

Slur shook her head to clear her thoughts and touched down on the cold, grimy floor of the UnderNet. Her target should be up ahead. With resigned steps, the Navi trudged forward.

A short walk later and Slur had found her target. Boldly Slur stepped into the room.

"You are Slur."

The green and white Navi stopped in her tracks. Her eyes danced about, trying to pinpoint the source of that ancient voice. She didn't succeed.

"You are Slur." The voice prompted again.

"I... am." Slur nodded.

Almost in response, a shaft of light exploded from the floor in front of the Asteroid Navi. Slur instinctively threw her hands over her eyes to try and protect herself from the harsh illumination, a moment later and the light had solidified into the form of a NetNavi.

"Serenade..." The Asteroid Navi gasped.

"It is I." The Undernet lord accepted the name. "Why hast thou sought me?"

"I..." For a second, Slur's resolve wavered. Was she really about to reveal her deepest feelings to a complete stranger? That was sheer insanity... But what else could she do? It wasn't like she could write to 'Dear Annie' about this problem.

With a sigh of defeat, Slur began revealing her troubles.

"I... I'm afraid that I have feelings for someone..." The Asteroid Navi winced as the words left her mouth. "Feelings that shouldn't exist."

"What feelings doest thou speak of?"

"Strong feelings... for a Navi I once banished to your realm." Slur's voice cracked slightly. "These shouldn't exist... I have never felt them before... I don't.. I don't know what to do with them."

"Please explain," Serenade studied the Asteroid Navi feircely, making Slur more than a little uneasy. "What hast caused thou to feel in this manner?"

Slur closed her eyes, wondering why she had ever thought that coming here would help.

"I don't know."

"Thou dost know." The Undernet lord's eyes drilled into Slur's, almost seeming to pierce right into the Asteroid Navi's mind and read all of the thoughts and desires located there. "Until thou is willing to acknowledge thine reasons, I cannot help thee."

The Asteroid Navi swallowed, and then paused to examine herself.

"It's because... It's because he pretends to be strong and hateful..." Slur looked up suddenly, "He pretends to be angry to cover the hurt and despair that he feels. He needs someone to show him the path back to the light..."

"And doest thou love him enough to be that one?"

The Asteroid Navi paused for a moment, then lifted her eyes to gaze steadily to meet Serenade's. "I do."

"Then thou must wait here." With those words, Serenade vanished from sight.

A few moments later, Serenade returned... with another Net Navi at her side.

Slur's eyes widened in actual disbelief. That Net Navi beside Slur... that cloak, those fins, that face... he was none other than Forte!

"Forte hast felt the same connection that thou hast for him." Serenade explained. "He also came to seek mine aid... Just as thou didst."

At this point, Serenade abruptly vanished.

Forte and Slur eyeballed each other for several seconds in silence. Eventually, Slur broke the silence.

"Forte, I... I care for you..."

"So I gathered." The solo Navi muttered uneasily. "I... I..."

Silence.

More silence.

Eventually Forte spoke up.

"When I saw how dedicated you were... When your inner strength and loyalty... Deep down inside... I desire someone..."

"I want to be yours." Slur interjected. "When I saw your pain and confusion... you stirred something in me that I had long believed to be dead... I want to get to know you, and to show you the path back to the light... But moreso... I want us to be friends... and maybe more than that."

"I don't want your sympathy..." Forte grumbled. "I want... I want... a friend... One who will stand by me... But I fear... that I may feel for you stronger than a friend should."

"So do I." Slur replied.

Another moment of silence passed.

Then Slur extended her hand.

Forte glanced at his newfound companion, and then put his palm in hers.

"So... what's the End Area pagoda?" Slur smiled ackwardly.

"... A virtual fuedal castle in the Internet." Forte tried to smile, but the best he managed was a weak grin. "About this time of day it is deserted... Would... would you like to see it?"

"I would..."

A short distance away, Serenade smiled as the two newfound lovebirds logged out of the UnderNet. The Undernet lord smirked, rubbed her hands together, and then turned back to an open dialogue window where she began working on her next 'Dear Annie' article.

End!

Tomorrow: The crackfic versions.

Feel free to tell me how badly these stunk. -_-U

I honestly thought the last one was supposed to be crackfic...

But it's insanely fun. And insanity is good.

Oh, and I still can't believe that you wrote this.

Razz

EDIT: Whoops, the last one WAS on crack. *hides in corner*

Absolutely loved the Beastman x Medi one... Forte x Slur came out well, but not as funny as Beastman x Medi...

Seriously, nice work. Why not write a few more?

TheWebbuilder · Posted: Tue Nov 01, 2005 3:58 pm Post subject:

Warning: This ficlet is almost 100% pure crack.
Pairing: ShadeMan x Ring.

Begin!

“Come on, BrightMan, are you sure that this tie is straight?” ShadeMan leaned forward to study his image in the mirror.

“Of course I‘m sure! Come on, bud, check it out!” The electrical Navi whipped his antennae forward and plugged them into the mirror, allowing the mirror to light up like a vanity table. Hastily BrightMan examined the Net Navi and nodded his approval. “Just calm down, it‘s just pre-wedding jitters. Every groom as them.”

“But you’re sure-”

“Of course, I‘m sure!” BrightMan nodded eagerly. “They made me the Fashion Coordinator for your wedding because of my rugged good looks, trust me on this, you look fine!”

“I hope so…” ShadeMan turned and began pacing in a large circle. “Am I ready for this, BrightMan? This is a huge commitment, what if-”

“Stop your blubbering, de puku, and do this like a man- err, bat.” BubbleMan, the Best Man, waddled over to the other two. “You‘re head over heels in love with Ring, so what‘s the hang-up, de puku?”

ShadeMan tried to loosen his collar, but his oversized hands weren’t very well suited to the job. Instead, he just avoided ripped his coat down the back.

“Graaaaaah!” The screeched screeched. “I can‘t go through with this! I‘m not ready… What if my Dark Chip habits drive Ring away from me? What if this isn‘t true love? What-?”

By now, ShadeMan’s arms were waving around in frantic circles as he worked himself up into a frenzy. At one point, BrightMan had to duck to avoid becoming a headless Fashion Coordinator.

A short distance away, Ring was also driving herself (and those around her) crazy.

“Roll, you‘ve got to talk me out of this!” Ring kept shifting her weight from one foot to another, making life difficult for Rhythm and Roll who were trying to make a last minute repair to the bride’s dress.

“Why? You‘re doing a good enough job of that on your own.” Roll commented. “Ring calm down, you‘re just making yourself upset…”

“I‘m not upset! I‘m crazy!” Ring jerked her hands up and shook them in mid-air to emphasize her point. “I‘m not ready for this! I need more time!”

“Hold still!” Medi bellowed at the frantic Ring.

“Or you’ll to need time, all right- time to find a new dress!” Rhythm tried to keep the fabric still as she desperately tried to fix the hem of the garment.

“Get me out of this thing!” Ring twirled around, causing Rhythm and Roll to ‘MEEP!’ as the fabric was jerked out of their hands. “There can‘t be a wedding, we‘re not ready for this!”

“Ring!’ Roll stood up and grabbed the girl’s shoulders. “Listen to me!”

The bride didn’t listen, instead she kept trying to wriggle out of her gown.

“RING!!” Medi and Roll shouted.

No response.

Rhythm rolled her eyes and then pointed to a random spot on the floor and screamed. “RATTON!!”

“EEEP!” With a freaked scream, Ring wound up perched on Roll’s shoulders- an impressive feat when you’re half-dressed and dealing with a dress train of several feet. “Where? Where is it? Kill it! Kill it! KEEEL EEET!”

“Ring.” Medi eyed the readers with a ‘what-can-you-do?’ expression before turning back to the task at hand.

“Yes?” Ring continued to balance herself on the now-straining-to-support-Ring’s-weight Roll.

“There was no Ratton. We just needed your attention.”

“What?” The bride slowly climbed off of Roll- who collapsed to the ground, too tired to stand.

“Why did you come this far with ShadeMan?” Medi asked. “Why did you get engaged and decide to get married?”

“Because… because we thought we loved each other.”

“You thought?” Rhythm paused helping Roll to her feet to shoot a glance at the bride. “Ring, calm down and think for a moment. How do you really feel about Batsy?”

“Hey, only I call him ‘Batsy‘.” Medi retorted before blinking in surprise at the forcefulness of her words.

At this point, Rhythm, Roll, and Ring rolled their eyes in unison.

“Look, if you can go down there, look ShadeMan straight in the eyes and tell him that you don‘t love him and that you don‘t want to be married, we won‘t stop you.” Roll said.

And back at the Darkloids, they were dealing with problems of their own.

“And that was my new frying pan…” BurnerMan bemoaned his dish’s fate. “It‘s been in my family for generations…”

The other Darkloids glanced at BurnerMan and face-faulted.

“It was the only way to calm ShadeMan down, de puku.” BubbleMan jabbered while pointing to the unconscious form of ShadeMan., who was now sporting a nice red lump on the back of his head.

“Check it out! I think he‘s waking up!” BrightMan gulped. “You think he‘ll be in a bad mood when he gets up?”

“Oh, my head…” ShadeMan groaned and slowly sat upright. “What hit me?”

“There’s no time for this.” BrightMan replied. “You‘re about to go get married!”

“Married!?” ShadeMan’s eyes widened. “But-”

“Here we go again…” BubbleMan rolled his eyes. “Look, de puku, you‘ve told us all that you‘re madly in love with her, de puku..”

“Just go down there, and look at Ring.” BurnerMan added. “If you manage to say that you‘re not in love after that… well, we‘ll let you walk out of here.”

A few minutes later and ShadeMan and Ring were ready for the big event, and had met each other in the hallway.

Ring slowly walked up to ShadeMan… and as promised took a good look at ShadeMan.

ShadeMan also looked into Ring’s eyes, and immediately realized why he was going through with this wedding.

“ShadeMan… There‘s… There is something that I must tell you.” Ring looked at the Darkloid.

“And that is?”

“I…” Ring looked at ShadeMan, and then felt her insides melt all over again. “I love you…”

“So do I, Ring.” ShadeMan smiled gently, “So do I.”

End!

I have one thing to say about this ficlet...

Bleh. x_x
