My name's Brooke, well, Brooklyn, and I live in Springsteen. It's a small town, but big compared to the towns near it. Nothing like Nesterfield, but it's really far away. Anyway, we live right by some mountains. It's very peaceful. Enough about that though. It's boring and everyone knows it!

Well, my two friends, Violet, Evoynne, and I love just strolling around town. We get a lot of tourists because of our view of the mountains. Of course, other towns have a view as well, but we have all the shows and shops.

Today was just like any other day. Violet, Evoynne, and I walked through town. I glanced at people walking around. "How do you like that guys hair?" I asked, pointing to a guy with black hair that stuck straight out from the back of his head. We burst out laughing. "Oh, shh! Here he comes!" Evoynne whisper-yelled. We covered our mouths as he walked by. Once he was out of earshot, we burst out laughing.

Violet looked around and turned back to us. "OMG, that girl over there has these crazy implants in her arm! Take a look!" She told us. Evoynne and I looked. She had alligator bumps! We laughed again. We had way too much fun with this stuff. Suddenly, an idea sprang to my head. "Hey! It's a three day weekend! Wanna explore the mountains?" I asked them. The shook their heads. "Superstitious." I muttered. "Fine. I'll go on my own." I said stubbornly. Evoynne sighed. "I guess I'll go with you." She said. "Well… good luck!" Violet told us. "Look, don't tell anyone we're climbing the mountains. I have my phone." I told her.

Let me tell you a bit about me. I have long, black hair with a pink streak. (Black and pink are the colour schemes with me.) I always wear black and pink things. Today, I'm wearing a black skirt with a bright, neon pink, sleeveless shirt. I always wear my top hat. It's black with a pink stripe. I love my top hat. I also usually wear high heels, unless I have to wear flats, then I wear Converse. I do have a favored dress. Short, black, with a big pink bow. Some people may find it tacky, I find it cute.

Evoynne looks almost exactly like me except her hair is weird. She has short pink hair with a black streak. She always wears pink and black things. Today, she's wearing a bright, neon pink pair of pants with a black T-shirt. She always wears a pink bow. She usually wears flats, unless there's a special occasion.

We set off toward the mountains. I pulled out my pink and black I-Phone 3G. I had my backpack with my laptop, CD's, and make-up. I always wear fairly heavy black eyeliner, pink eye shadow, and black lip stick. I also paint my nails with a pattern of pink, black, pink, black, ect.

Soon. We were at the foot of the mountains. Springsteen wasn't far from the mountains at all. I looked up one. It was a pretty long way up. Evoynne looked worried. "Come on. Let's go." I said. I started climbing. "Wait! Brooke, think about this! We don't have the equipment to climb this! We could die!" Evoynne told me. "We'll just go as far as we can without equipment. Then, we'll come back down." I told her. She sighed and we began to climb. It wasn't as hard as I'd thought it would be. It was a different story for Evoynne, though. I guess I'm just a natural. I thought to myself. I smiled at the thought.

"Broke We have to turn back! I can't climb any farther!" Evoynne yelled to me. "You can! I'm gonna go a little but farther!" I yelled back to her. She yelled something else, but I didn't hear. I was too far ahead.

It was a couple of hours later when I finally reached the top of the mountain. I saw land beyond it. I gasped. What is this? How did no one ever know about it? Suddenly, a bright, fast-moving light narrowly missed my head. I gasped and turned. There were people flying towards me on things that can only be described as personal airplanes with no roofs. I gasped. One reached out his arm and I was snatched away into the sky.

That's the end of chapter one! This is my first fanfic and I'll gladly take critical comments, suggestions, and praises. I need at least one review to continue!
