First & Second Chapter of Merry Chobot Released! Read it here!
Merry was a strange chobot. She didn't like socialising, she didn't like hanging out in cafe st and most of all, She hated christmas. Her name would've suggested that she loved it! But she thought it was the most terrible thing in the world!
"Too many smiling faces" she muttered under her breath, as she saw some popular Chobots buying gifts for each other. She described it like putting moldy cheese in you're mouth, discusting.
A day before Christmas, Merry was planing what she would do on Christmas day, She knew it would be horrible, But she decided to make a list of reasons she should to go to the celebrations, and reasons she shouldn't go, to see what she should do..Other than sitting in the corner all day.
"Reasons why I shouldn't go" she read to herself, "It will be horrible, Too much noise, Little kids screaming, Smiling faces and I would rather sit back and read a book"
Hm, Pretty good reasons, she thought and she ticked the box she had drawn next to it.
"Reasons why I should go, I need clothes, Catch rain, Could rain rare items, Lots of yummy food I couldn't make myself and I have read all the books in my book case,
Oh no! she thought, This is a really hard one! I need new clothes, I spent all my money on a new couch yesterday, What will I do?
Although she didn't want to go, it seemed like a good idea to get some new clothes.
Do not draw attention to yourself, She wrote in big letters across the page, Get the rain, Get some food and leave for home.
Merry even headed out to the shop, where she bought some big headphones, Just incase it was too noisy. After a while of browsing, she checked her watch, 6:30?! she didn't realise it had got so late! She hurried home quickly in the cold weather, just as snow started to fall down from the dark sky.
As the sun set over the Floating Islands, Merry sat down in her house and ate cold leftover Pepperoni Pizza. She wondered what she was in for, if she could stick to her list, or if she would get new clothes,Then, after a long night of thinking, Merry fell asleep.
Merry woke up. For a second she forgot it was Christmas, but then she looked out the window and saw the park's christmas tree lighting up in the white sky and she remembered everything! Food,rain, popular chobots, party, celebrations, santa! Santa? Merry remembered how Santa had came the night before.She hopped out of bed and ran as fast as she could to the door of her home, (Merry hadn't set up a tree, She never did) There were 2 parcels, one small, one big. Save the surprise till last she thought and opened the small package. It was a beautiful small gold necklace with a small bell with her name ingraved into it. Merry thought it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen and put it on straight away, even thought she still had her pyjamas on. Then she picked up the big box and carefully opened it. Merry's face lit up. It was the collection of The Red Gumboot books that she had wanted ever since she was 4 years old. She touched the red bindings, They where real, They even looked like the originals, pristine, worth thousands of bugs. She looked through the books until She got to the last one. stopped, there was a beautiful, rust and black coloured notebook, with gold lacing.
"Its beautiful" she whispered, stroking the gold lace...
"Brrrr" the cold dusty air had traveled into her small house and sent a chill up her spine. She decided to go have a shower ,even if she was only going for the food and the rain, she wanted to look good. Merry shut her front door, picked up her presents, and went to the bathroom. She got into the shower, She stood in the shower for a long time, washing her hair until it was the silkiest it had ever been in, until finally, she got out and tied it in to a loose side pony tale. Then she started to deside on clothes,Merry put on her peachy coloured jumper, black scarf and a blue and white skirt.
"Ah" she sighed as she finally sat down for a cup of hot chocolate, she had stayed up almost up till mid night last night and she was agsausted. She looked at her watch, WHAT!, she thought, its almost 10 am! I'm going to miss the celebrations! and with that she got her gloves and beanie and ran out the door, to the park.
