The Great Tales of QLS

3 ~ The First Door

It's been a few hours of walking.

And when I say—or actually, type— "hours", I actually mean it's been barely over thirty minutes. The entire group has pretty much gone crazy at this point. More than they already have. Given that Claudia is the calm but destructive type, Usako is a fierce weeb, Sophie is a wheezing master of Irish swears, Olivia is done with everyone's shit, and Shaye... she's, uh, Shaye. The only thing that makes Cookie any bad at this point is her sudden ability to look at people, and contort her cartoon face to look like "-3-".

   Usako shivers as the short, pale girl made that face. "That's both...awesome, and freakin horrifying."

   Cookie takes her coonskin hat off her head and then bows as they walk. She then puts it back on, her face returning to normal with large blue grey eyes, a bright blue ring in the centre of them.

   The two behind them, Olivia's legs were shaking as she carried her younger sister on her back, who has refused to get off for the entire walk so far.

   "I... fucking hate this," Olivia huffs between determined breaths.

   Sophie drags her feet, rolling her eyes up at the spiralling sky. "I'm BORED." She looks to her blonde haired companion walking beside her. "Shaye, do something funny."

   Shaye takes out her earbuds, the only thing other than her phone she got to bring down here. Luckily it had been plugged in at the time so it spiralled down with them. Her edgy music was the only thing keeping her sane from everything happening along with the constant chatter.

   "Uh," Shaye starts. She can never think of anything off the top.

   "Heh heh," Claudia laughs calmly but evilly. Shaye turns behind her to see Claudia snickering from on top of Olivia's back. Olivia looked at her like with eyes that said "End me".

   It hit her. Shaye turns to look ahead of her.

   "Hey, Olivia, you took chemistry too. What would you call two units of helium?"

   Olivia goes silent. Her brain was trying to think of why Shaye would randomly ask such a irrelevant question. With Olivia's thoughts so deep, she, with the power of script, forgot how shaky her legs were, lost her footing, and then fell onto her face in the soft green grass. Claudia falls down with her and makes Olivia's fall into the dirt no better.

Everyone quickly turns around, alarmed by the sudden "Oof" and thud in dirt. They stare as Olivia is trapped under Claudia. Cookie rushes to pick Olivia's head out of the grass while Claudia rolled off her.

   "Uber review two stars," Claudia whined before sitting up, clutching her head.

   Usasko helped Claudia to her feet while Cookie helped Olivia up. Olivia fixes her glasses, fuming.

   "How didn't you break those?" Cookie asks, eyes narrowed I'm confusion. "Do you know what? Never mind. We're literally in a different dimension we got sucked into by our phones."

   Sophie places her hands on her head. "Not to mention we all happened to be victims."

   "My top question right now is... what was the answer to Shaye's joke?" Usako says, face serious despite her voice sounding like she was about to crack up laughing.

   Shaye presses her fingers together. Creepily smiling. "Hee hee."

   Everyone stares for a moment. Sophie then wheezes, followed by Cookie and Olivia. Usako took a moment, but also caught on.

   "Micheal Jackson, really?"

   Note from the author, don't google any "Hee Hee memes". You will find results of Micheal Jackson with particularly disturbing pictures of his bleached face with red lipstick on. He's the like the fucking Joker from the Dark Knight. Both died to drug overdose, but one of them weren't a fucking asshole of a human.
