Coke's Breaking Dawn

Chapter 1 - Balok

First thing you have to know: Coliebookwormmonsterand LukasMcDrake wrote this together, in a spurt of randomness/boredness during our three-hour long class (basically). The original version of this, however, is only four notebook pages long. When we decided this was random enough for Wattpad (or whatever), we also decided we must extend it in order to appease readers. So this story may seem ultimately short, but just remember that this is an extended version of an even shorter story.

Another note: Each chapter is written entirely by one or the other of us. To signify which person wrote what, we will bold Coliebookwormmonster's chapters, and leave LukasMcDrake's chapters normal. Having said this, hopefully you can guess who wrote this chapter, and any future chapters. If not... Whatever. :P Does it really matter?

Anyway... Enjoy!

Chapter 1 - Balok

"This is the beginning of a story."

Balok paused in reading the inscriptions on the ancient tablet, wondering what that statement had to do with anything. Pushing aside his ponderings on the scriptural text, he read on to the next paragraph.

"My boyfriend broke up with me yesterday. I was, like, so totally heartbroken. I decided to rip his pictures to shreds, act like a constipated pig in the middle of a forest, and seriously contemplate on other ways to make myself appear pathetic to those reading my story. Blah blah blah..."

An inhabitant of the heavens, Balok was able to perceive the meaning of the eloquent inscriptions, deciphering their true significance. The tablet prophesied that the world was going to end unless someone was stopped from spilling their Coke on the ground.

Balok sighed, wondering how this could ever be stopped from coming to pass. According to the text, it was "like, so totally serious." It would be very hard to halt this catastrophe's progression.

He glanced over the cloudy cliff he was sitting next to, observing the Earth. Stupidity lapped off the planet, threatening to infect the rest of the galaxy, and continue onward on its march to annihilation.

This world was helpless to resist. Helpless...unless he took steps himself to ensure Earth’s safety. As the famous proverb went: The only way to do something right was to do it yourself.

Setting the tablet down, Balok hesitated a moment, considering the distance. Then, he threw himself into the air, waiting, expecting a bird to peck him in the eye on his way down to Earth.
