Okay so here's the thing, this is mt first time writing a story, so please be nice, and for now i'm writing on my iPad.
Anyway, so i been rewatching Recess and i just watched the episode First Name Ashley, and it got me thinking, what if the Ashleys had managed to break down Spinelli and demoralize her, aka turn her completely into on of them, looks and personality, what would her parents say and what would her friends think.
And in this story the Ashleys are smart enough to change their rule so that it must be at least four Ashleys who can invite others to join them, so Spinelli's friends aren't allowed to join, and therefor can't get the Ashleys to kick out Spinelli.
Anyway, there might be a time jump somewhere, but i haven't figured out the entire story just yet, so please bear with me and please do reviews and come with ideas and I'll see if i want to include them.
So, here's the story.
Chapter 1: Transformation Begins
Spinelli was busy playing with her friends when the Ashleys suddenly appeared before them.
"What do you want?" Spinelli said while looking in disgust at the Ashleys.
The four Ashleys glanced towards each other before looking back at Spinelli. "I, Ashley A, invite you, Ashley S, to be our new sister." The remaining Ashleys clapped their hands. After Randall revealed Spinelli's first name to the entire playground, the girls realized that they needed Spinelli to join them. If they let her continue to wander around the way she was, she would ruin the Ashley name. Their plan was to completely demoralize Spinelli and transform her into one of them. It was the only way to keep the Ashley name pristine and proper.
Spinelli started laughing. "Yeah right. Send in the clown powder puff."
Ashley B spoke up, "Actually, Ashley S, you, like, don't have a choice."
"Like, what?" Spinelli was starting to get annoyed.
Ashley A reached into her skirt pocket and withdrew the Playground Constitution. "It states here that any kid named Ashley must join their club if invited by another member of the Ashleys."
"But that can't be right!" Spinelli said while looking horrified at the thought of joining the Ashleys.
Gretchen reached for the constitution which Ashley A handed to her with a smirk.
"I'm afraid it's true, Spinelli. It says so right here."
Ashley A started speaking again. "Then I guess it's, like, official. You're one of us."
"One of us."
"One of us."
"One of us."
Spinelli started to back away, screaming. "No! You'll never take alive!" But before she could take another step, she was caught by two girls who were already dragging her to the Ashley Clubhouse.
"Let me go!" screamed Spinelli.
Ashley A started speaking. "Come on, Ashley S, you'll just love our clubhouse."
Meanwhile, Spinelli's friends watched on in shock. Gretchen was the first one to break the silence. "Boy, talk about peer pressure."
Outside the clubhouse Spinelli asked. "This is your clubhouse?" She looked at the pile of old tires in shock.
"As if." Ashley A corrected her before she unlocked a tire and crawled inside it. "This is our clubhouse." She remarked when Spinelli entered the room, stunned at the sight of the massive underground structure. "It's remarkable what one can do with a few accessories."
Spinelli was impressed with the club's interior. "Wow. This is amazing—Hey. What's going on here? Why are you looking at me like that?!" She went from being awed by their clubhouse to being frightened at the way the four Ashleys were smiling at her.
"Don't worry Ashley S, it's a good thing." They said in unison. The second course of action in making Spinelli one of them was altering her entire appearance. The beanie, leather jacket and bulky boots needed to go.
Spinelli knew what they were planning. A makeover was about to commence. She was getting terrified.
"Stop it! No! No!" She screamed before they attacked her.
"Don't worry Ashley S, soon you'll look a lot better." Ashley A exclaimed. All of them were thrilled at the
idea of giving Spinelli a makeover.
In her panic-stricken state, the girls had ripped off Spinelli's jacket and hat before forcing her into a bathrobe. Once the robe was on, she was dragged to a chair and tied to it. Around the chair were several large tables lined with hair, nail and makeup products.
Man, this is torture. Spinelli thought. She was an Ashley and there was no way out of this nightmare.
Soon the rubber bands holding her pigtails together were removed. "Just you wait Ashley S. As soon as we'll be done with you, you'll love your new look." Ashley Q said as she worked on her hair. However, Spinelli's hair was proving to be a difficult mess for Ashley Q.
"Like, don't you ever comb your hair?" Ashley Q hissed as she forced a thick brush through Spinelli's hair, making her cringe. It was hurting her scalp. But she couldn't say much, seeing as how Ashley A was attacking her face with multiple powders and brushes. If that wasn't enough, Ashley T was working on her nails, and Ashley B was finding a new outfit for her to wear.
While working on Spinelli's face, Ashley A started plucking her eyebrows.
"Ow. That hurts!"
Ashley B then returned, carrying a brand-new outfit for Spinelli. It was a checkered skirt and jacket with cute black pumps and knee length white socks.
Spinelli clearly didn't like the outfit and looked at it in disgust. "Wait. I have to wear that? What happened to my clothes."
"Oh. We threw them out." Ashley B said. "Now that you're one of us, you won't be needing those low-class clothes."
Finally, the other Ashleys were done working on Spinelli.
"Here. Try it on." Ashley A exclaimed, clearly referring to the outfit.
"No. I will never wear that stuff! I'll look like you!"
"Oh, don't be so dramatic Ashley S, that's, like, the point. You're one of us now, so it's only fitting that you look like us," Ashley A said.
Ashley B chimed in. "You wear what we pick out for you. It's part of our club rules."
Spinelli sighed clearly feeling defeated and went to put on her new outfit.
When she stepped back into the room, the Ashleys starting gushing.
"Oh. It's so cute!"
"It's, like, so you." Ashley Q stated as Ashley T nodded her head.
"Red is, like, so your color."
"…I guess so." Spinelli said feeling down. She was already missing her old clothes and old friends.
"So, do you, like, want to see what you look like now?" Ashley A exclaimed joyfully as she walked Spinelli to a full-length mirror.
Spinelli looked in shock at what she saw in the mirror. She looked nothing like herself. Her beanie and pigtails were replaced with a red headband. Her hair was styled into a straight bob that nearly touched her jaw. Her eyebrows were plucked into the perfect arch and her entire face was covered with makeup. Her eyelashes were coated with ample mascara making them pop. Her face was lined with powder and her cheeks were coated in a light dusty rose. Her lips were painted a bright red with a touch of lip gloss covering them, making them sparkle. If that wasn't enough, her nails were perfectly manicured and painted a bright red that matched her lipstick.
As Spinelli looked in the mirror, the Ashleys smiled clearly proud of their work. "Wow. We're, like, so good," Ashley A said.
"I look like you," Spinelli said, shocked.
"I know you, like, look so much better. Who would've thought that you could look like the rest of us?" Ashley A exclaimed. "Now that your makeover is complete. It's time to introduce the new you to the rest of the playground. Don't worry, you'll learn to love it."
As Ashley A and the other Ashleys crawled out, Ashley A started talking. "Kids of the playground, I present to you, Ashley S."
Spinelli then emerged, making everyone gasp.
As the Ashleys smiled, most of the other kids including her friends, looked shocked aside from Randall who couldn't stop laughing. "Spinelli in a dress? That's so funny!"
Spinelli went from sad to upset in a matter of seconds. "Ahh! Let me at him!" She was close to attacking Randall until Ashley A and Ashley B held her back by her arms.
"I think we, like, have a little more work to do." Ashley A said as she and Ashley B dragged Spinelli back into the clubhouse.
Meanwhile Ashley Q started speaking while gazing towards T.J. and the others. "In case any of you have something planned, just so you're, like, informed, we, like, changed our membership rules. From now on, if there are more kids named Ashley they, like, have to be invited by at least two or more Ashleys before membership can even be considered."
Ashley T then spoke up. "So, like, forget it if you guys have anything planned. Ashley S is now one of us, and there is nothing you can do about it." The two of them then returned to the clubhouse to help Ashley A and Ashley B in the preparation of transforming Spinelli into one of them.
Back in the clubhouse, Ashley A started explaining things to Spinelli. "Now that you're one of us, you can't go attacking people, Ashley S. It's, like, not lady-like. We're just helping you discover your true potential. You're an Ashley. An Ashley! Ashleys, like, don't attack people, or, like, play football or any of the gross stuff you used to do."
"Yeah." Ashley T said. "We play with dolls and have tea parties. We read fashion magazines, go shopping, have slumber parties, get our nails, makeup and hair done."
"We like gossiping about others too, so you might as well get used to it." Ashley A concluded.
Ashley Q then continued. "So, I think you're, like, ready for phase two in your transformation."
Spinelli looked skeptical. "What's phrase two?"
"Easy." Ashley B said. "My Fuzzy Unicorn. Lucky for you, we have every episode."
Oh joy, I can't wait. Spinelli thought sarcastically to herself.
Meanwhile, outside the Ashley clubhouse, Spinelli's friends were outside trying to come up with a plan.
"What are we going to do?" Gus said.
"Oh, how sad. We lost a friend!" Mikey said in a poetic way.
"Well, we can't change their rules, and we can't change our names as they'll likely not invite us even if we did." Gretchen realized sadly.
"C'mon Teej, you always have a plan," Vince spoke urgently, hoping T.J. would know how to save Spinelli.
"Guys, if the Ashleys won't let us talk to Spinelli, then I guess there is only one person who can override their rule: King Bob. We need to see King Bob." T.J said as the others gasped.
Next chapter the gang sees king Bob, wondering what he will do about it, while Spinelli's transformation into an Ashley continues.
