(Different Times AU) Felicia's Story Book 1

Silence. Complete silence. Nobody wanted to talk. At least at first.

The silence was broken by the tall man saying "I think dis is de time we introduce ourselves."

"So who wants to go first? Any takers?", the pink girl asked.

We all looked around at each others faces waiting for someone to speak up.

Anybody?, I thought.

"I'll go 1st!", the littlest boy exclaimed.

We all formed a circle and the boy took a big step forward.

"I'm Zachary James, I'm 2 years old, people call me smart for an ankle-biter", he spoke.

"What time are you from?", the tall man asked.

Zach shrugged.

"From the looks of the greasy hair, I'm guessing...the 1950s?", I replied.

"Ohhh, so that's why my mom and dad always mention something like that. It's 1952 to be exact."

"Cool, are there any important folks in your times? Besides your parents of course", the flapper girl questioned.

"Well, there is this chick I love, her name's Mary Ellen. She may be a year older than me but we seem meant to be", Zach replied.

"Awww!", we all said.

A 2 year old in love, eh?, I thought, so adorable!

"Also do bad guys count as important people?", Zach questioned.

"Yeah, if you see them a lot", the green boy replied as simple as he could.

"Well...there's this creepy nurse I have, her name is Poppy-"

Poppy. Poppy. Poppy.

The echoing of her name in my head drowned out everything else Zach had said. I knew a nurse named Poppy as well back in my SuperElle years. She was a dream demon who hated my guts and always looked for vengeance. Now that he mentions it, she did speak with some weird slang. She did used to be human. I guess that's in the 1950s.

"Um, you, are you ok?", Zach pointed at me, noticing my scared face.

"I know a creepy nurse named Poppy too", I muttered.

"Ain't that a bite, that sucks", Zach commented. "Anything else you wanna know?".

"Maybe...what's your favorite place to hang out or eat?", the indigo girl asked.

"I like Dairy Queen and McDonald's", he replied. "And mostly, I play outside with my pals".

I like Dairy Queen and McDonald's too, I thought.

"Anything else?", Zachary waited for someone to answer. Impatiently quickly he then replied "Alright, who wants to go next?".

"I will", the orange girl volunteered.

When Zach took a step back in the circle, the girl stepped forward.

"I'm Mimzy Addams, I'm 13 years old, and I'm known to be a wonderful flapper girl who has a...troublesome side", she explained. "By the way, I'm from the grand year of 1929!".

She happily made a pose with her arms stretched out and her left leg bent.

"Away from my mom and a nuisance of a little sister, I've performed in many places I can't even count. An important person in my life is Alastor. He's the most famous radio spokesperson in New Orleans."
