A Dummy's Lady - A Goosebumps Fanfiction {Completed}

Realization

"Hey, are you okay?"

I slowly opened my eyes, and I found myself staring at a teenager, who was staring back at me. I suddenly realized that I was lying on the ground. "What in the world happened?" I whispered to myself.

"Here. Let me help you," the teen said, interrupting my thoughts. He extended his hands towards me, waiting for me to take ahold of them. Without hesitation, I immediately grabbed both of his hands and hoisted myself up. Then I quickly let go of them.

I started to blush. I felt so embarrassed.

This was not a good idea. Why did I even sneak out of the house?

To make new friends.

No. I cannot make friends here. As a matter of fact, I cannot make friends anywhere!

Not now. Not ever.

'Cause I am different. I am special.

I am just plain weird.

"Thanks," I said softly to the teenager. I turned and started walking away from him...wait. I stopped and turned back to the teenager, who was furiously waving at me, smiling with glee.

That teen looks familiar. Where have I seen him?

I observed him, my brown eyes looking up and down. The teen had brown hair and was wearing a gray suit with a tie.

"Slappy?!" I suddenly exclaimed.

No. Not Slappy. Slappy wears a bowtie, not a tie.

Whoa. Where did that come from?

I cupped my hands around my mouth. "Who do they call you?" I called to him. The teenager tilted his head to the side, his face twisted in confusion. He looked at me funny, as if I were some sort of alien.

Awkward.

"Are you talking about who my friends call me?" he finally answered. My palms started sweating, and I blushed even harder. "Yes," I replied, trying not to stammer.

The teen shrugged his shoulders and chuckled to himself. "Oh, well, my name is Champ," he stated.

My eyes widened. My muscles tightened.

Did he just say that his name was Champ?

No, of course not. I misheard him.

"Champ!"

Out of the blue, three other teenagers ran over to this 'Champ' guy. I recognized two of them.

Zach and Hannah...Zach and Hannah?!

"Champ, sweetie. Hannah, Zach, and I are going to the ice cream parlor," the third teen told him. "Want to come?"

This third teen had long, blond hair - longer than mine. She wore a purple dress that came down to her knees and a black belt around her waist.

"Taylor --" the 'Champ' guy started.

I was going to get their attention and introduce myself, but instead:

"I am in the Goosebumps universe?!"

Well, at least I got their attention.
