Gertrude Turns Good

After seeing Steve get credit for almost killing me, Jacky Jane and I shot up and started yelling at Steve saying things like he’s absolutely revolting, skinny and lanky, he’s got yellow teeth (not like mine are any better), and that he’s not fit to be a hero and save people. But then it hit me. The pain I saw in Steve’s eyes as we were calling him names reminded me of when I was a young girl and the girls down the street picked on me every day. I realized that Steve wasn’t a loser, I was! I didn’t need to destroy everyone that crossed my path, and I didn’t even need to be evil. My mother raised me better than that. So I decided to pull a quick one on Jacky Jane and join Steve’s side to prevent her from getting the sword. Us two paired together made us seem too intimidating for Jacky Jane and she ran off. Steve and I realized how good of a team we make, and I realized I really didn’t mean all the things I said about him. We ended up falling in love and are known as the city’s power couple, just like in the movies.

Gertrude Reaches the Golden Sword

As Jacky Jane and I were attempting to destroy each other, I noticed that time was ticking and I needed to get to the sword as soon as possible. So as Jacky Jane was in the middle of grabbing another weapon to use against me, I bolted. I ran and ran as fast as I could, and she followed. Steve also tried following us to break up the fight but we are just too strong for him. Finally, I reached the last step before the sword, and as I’m about to reach for it, Steve attempts to prevent us from getting it by throwing a brick at both Jacky J. and me. I must’ve been out for at least 20 minutes. But I woke up to the worst sight I’ve ever seen in my life. Villagers cheering Steve on like he’s some sort of hero for almost killing me.

Gertrude’s Encounter with Jacky Jane and Steve

As I was following my map, I noticed I was passing other people on the trails headed in the same direction. I said, “not today fellas” and destroyed everyone that crossed my path, assuming that they were after the sword as well. I guess not only was everyone in the mood to get the sword today, but everyone was in the mood to ruin me- especially Jacky Jane. Jacky Jane was ferocious. She tried using every single weapon she had on me and I did the same thing back to her. It seemed like a never-ending battle until Steve came along to ruin everything. Steve is like the town’s local hero or whatever they call him. He tried to be a peacemaker and everything telling us that we need to stop fighting because it’s affecting other innocent people or something like that. But of course I wasn’t going to listen to Steve, so I kept fighting Jacky Jane because that witch was in my way.

Gertrude’s Idea

I was just taking my daily stroll in the deep dark forest and decided that it was a beautiful day to do something evil. I thought to myself, “no one has ever dared to go after the golden sword”. Legend has it that the sword holds enough power to give the holder whatever he or she wants. I want to rule the world, so why haven’t I thought of going after the sword earlier? I then decided to pack some necessary things before I head out on my journey.

The Rest is History

Some know me as naturally being manipulative, cunning, or even evil. That’s how I got the name “Sneaky Pawn Boi”. But honestly, I’d say that I’m a pretty lovable person- which is why I don’t understand why people hate me for no apparent reason at all. I have the dramatic/unique hand gestures and words that I believe can move any crowd, but in the end, they all still hate me.

For example, one time I found a rare treasure called the “theet” and was told to take it to the Tri State Portal have it checked out. But some lady cut me off while waiting in line. I convinced her that the Tri State Portal was a time traveling device and she went inside… and was never seen again, not knowing where it leads to. Proving that I’m kind of an asshole. But then I turned around and saw the most evil human ever that did the same thing. It was love at first sight, and the rest is history because this was the only person that hasn’t rejected me.

Bikini Bottom

Prompt: If you could abandon this life/planet/universe to join any fantasy world, which would it be and why?

If I were to abandon this perfect life living in Tokyo and working for McDonald’s, I could totally imagine myself in Bikini Bottom because there is not a care in the world down there. I would then get a job at Weenie Hut Jrs. because contrary to popular belief, their pay is spectacular. I would then move into my leather boot home with my pet snail right on the edge of Goo Lagoon so I can get that not so fresh underwater sea breeze. I know what you’re thinking though, ‘why don’t you want to live near Spongebob, Patrick, and Squidward?’ I wouldn’t want to live near the iconic trio because that neighborhood has more drama than this season of the bachelor. And it’s Squidward’s fault.

Ludi Littleland – She’s the Man

Someone asked me what my favorite movie was, and it took me a while to think because I had so many amazing ones flowing through my mind. But if I had to choose my absolute favorite one, it would have to be She’s The Man. The movie has the world’s best actor and actress in it, like Channing Tatum and Amanda Bynes. My favorite part of the movie is when Duke (Channing Tatum) had a tampon up his nose to stop his nose bleed because Viola (Amanda Bynes) told him that’s the reason why she had them in her bag, while she was disguised as her brother. Honestly, Amanda Bynes is hands down the best actress I’ve ever seen. Never seen anyone else like her before. I’m surprised the movie didn’t win an Oscar. I am emotionally hurt and betrayed that it only got 43% on Rotten Tomatoes… movie critics don’t know what a good movie is now a days. Even though everyone else hates the movie, She’s the Man will always have a special place in my heart. ❤

Tokyo Drift(ers)

By: Ludi Littleland

The other day I decided to take a break from making paper airplanes and flying to Hollywood to stalk celebrities so I could have a night out with my dearest friends Taldo Watfonso, Geranna Alger, and Calence Lundpatrick. We all decided to meet up at the Imperial Palace around 6 because Calence really wanted to stop and smell the roses and tour the emperor’s residence. I’ve already been there at least 32 times because some of my favorite stars like to go there as well.

After a long 2 hours of moping around the Imperial palace, Taldo, Geranna, and I decided to stop at Ben Fiddich for some relaxing cocktails and drinks. Calence is extremely stubborn and refused to go lounge with us and decided to get wasted by himself at The Tokyo Whiskey Library. We didn’t even have a chance to get some dinner together with the whole group! 😦 But after only an hour of what was supposed to be a chill night at Ben Fiddich, Taldo downed multiple bloody marys (where the vodka was replaced with MOONSHINE)!! I wasn’t expecting to babysit tonight but this is what it has come to. Thank God Calence called and said to meet him at the Robot Restaurant.

Geranna and I then had to drag stumbling Taldo to the Robot Restaurant because he was aggressively upset that Calence did not agree to buy him his happy meal from McDonald’s (which I could’ve given him an amazing discount since I’m a McDonald’s Writer). We finally got to the Robot Restaurant and they almost didn’t seat us because of Taldo. But I pressed a few buttons on our hostess and reprogrammed her into letting us sit down and eat. I really needed to take the edge off of tonight so I had one… or more.

The rest of the night I remember in chunks but I was more worried about all my friends getting back safely. Calence said he would take care of Taldo for the rest of the night, and I woke up in my cozy bed thinking about what we’ll all be doing next weekend.
