Best Friends with Benefits

chapter 1: Friends

The sky was filled with colors as the sun set. A girl with waist length straight blonde hair stared at the sky as she rested upon a delicate hill carrying her delicate body. Her face bore bright green eyes with a deep pale face and had lips red as blood. She was rather short, but had long legs, rather longer than certain others.

She wore a crimson red dress with a pitch black corset which was odd for someone of her time and generation to wear such an ensemble, but she didn't care or mind. She also wore black high-heeled boots which seemed reminiscent of a certain someone of a certain galaxy.

The poor girl grew up in Denton, but never really fit in. She's mostly in Denton because her adoptive parents were from there and they raised her there since they found her. She never knew her real parents, but the ones she had never felt like true parents, she just felt like she didn't belong. She didn't even sound like them, she developed a unique accent which made her sound like she was a vampire of some sorts.

She took in some night air and blew some out, relaxing herself. She slowly closed her eyes as the only things left in the distance were the sounds of crickets chirping and her thoughts. Since her eyes were closed, she did not notice a figure moving toward the hill out of the nearby woods.

From behind, there came a short pale skinned girl with raven hair reaching her shoulders. Other than her hair, she looked like a young boy complete with a dark-colored sweater, pants and sneakers. Although she looked human, she most certinately was not. The other girl on the hill's attire caught her off guard as she watched in secret, hoping to welcome, yet not provoke the stranger. She went over in wonder if she would stir or make a noise, worried of losing the opportunity to make a friend or playmate.

The blonde girl continued to lay in her spot for a while. After about five minutes, she sat up at the now darker sky. One of her pale hands ran through her hair as she suddenly chuckled and sat up.

"The moon is truly vonderful tonight," she muttered to herself in her thick accent. She then sensed a presence, feeling like she wasn't alone. She turned to the new girl's direction with curiosity. "Hello?" she called out.

The other girl hid behind the tree. She felt very, very terrifyingly shy. She came out, staring at the ground.

"I'm sorry for spying on you..." she said in a shallow, whisper like voice and stared in the other girl's bright green eyes with frightening nervousness. "Are you alone tonight...? I... I am... I..." She stammered as she looked at the girl and shrugged her shoulders. She was not as social and casual as her father who was a very important figure to some folks.

The blonde girl looked at the raven haired girl with a small smile. "It is okay," she spoke after forced silence. "I do not mind. My name is Miracle." her voice was soft and delicate as waterfalls. She carefully and slowly walked toward the nervous girl, trying not to distress or frighten her. "Vhat is your name?" she asked with a still soft smile. She walked over a few steps away from the shy girl.

The girl nervously stroked her hair as she held it and looked directly at Miracle. "L-Little Precious Furter..." the future royal to Transsexual replied.

She wasn't as forceful as the other people in her family. She wanted to have new friends and real friends, she almost never told anyone her name back home because they knew her father and grandmother well. She figured though since she was in a strange world, no one would recognize her, but she felt like she recognized her new-found friend.

Miracle smiled, her face not changing very much at all. "Nice to meet you, Little Precious," she greeted politely. She gently took one of LP's hands without warning and shook it lightly. LP felt confused of this strange ritual. "There, now we are properly acquainted." Miracle added, finishing shaking the black-haired girl's hand.

Miracle's face curved into a very friendly smile.

"Do you live around here?" she asked, planning to take LP where she lived. Even though she had never met LP, she felt as if she had heard her name Furter somewhere before, she couldn't place where she had heard it from before however.

LP wasn't sure whether to be honest or not. She was hiding away in her current location, but she knew if she told an Earthling, or at least she thought Miracle was an Earthling, such a story. She would be in serious danger including the intergalactic urban legend of Area 51. LP had lies thought up in her brain after stunned, awkward silence.

"I... yes..." LP gulped. "Maybe we could go to your house. My f-f-father is on business and he said I could go out and make friends...We just moved in..." LP stepped back nervously and shuffled her shoulders, hoping the stranger took her story well.

"Vell Brad doesn't come out of his room at night," Miracle thought, pressing a finger to her chin. "And Janet likes to sit in the kitchen and talk to her friends about him... But if you can handle that, let's go." she shrugged.

Miracle was happy she could make a new friend, but seeing as the girl was nervous and didn't want to scare her off, she kept her manner calm. She then offered LP a coy, yet excited smile.

"Just vait until you see my room." she told her in an equally coy voice.

LP felt like she knew the names Brad and Janet somewhere before, but she wasn't sure where. She looked back anxiously in a certain direction. She then looked back at Miracle shyly and gulped. "Okay... let's go..." LP smiled nervously.
