Quote:Chapter 4: Friendship Grows...?

I walked home with pain in my hands. The pain was so great that I often felt dizzy and weak. The only thing that kept me walking was the joy from knowing that the wound I got was from saving the lives of my soon-to-be friends. It kinda felt like a battle scar for warriors.

I slowly walked through the whole Strawberryland, passed the Huckleberry Briar and Blackberry Bushes, until I finally arrived at my home. As I pressed the hidden button that unhid the ladder into my home, I realized that getting into my home would be so difficult because of this wound. I attempted it anyway, because there are no other way to get into my home.

I put my grip on the ladder, and quickly released it because it gave me even greater pain. After many failed attempts of putting my grip on the ladder, I realized that I was stuck outside my home, and I started to regret my home being a tree house with a ladder instead of stairs like that orange-shaped tree house.

Knowing that I got stuck outside, I had no choice other than looking for help. I slowly walked through Blackberry Bushes, but in the middle of Huckleberry Briar I once again felt dizzy and weak. This time I couldn't endure it and finally collapsed.

I didn't know how long I have been unconcious, but when I woke up I was on a comfortable bed. Someone had wrapped the wounds on my hands with bandage, although the wrapping was quite messy. I looked around, still sitting on the bed, and I heard a voice.

"Finally awake? Good morning. You have slept for a whole night," said that voice. Then someone whom I recognized as one of the five kids, the only male one to be exact, came to me.

"Umm... Yes..." I replied.

"Haven't seen you before. What's your name?" He asked.

"...Blackberry Bun..." I replied.

"Welcome to my fort, Blackberry Bun. I'm Huckleberry Pie, but you can call me Huck for short," He said. "Yesterday, while I was looking for some huckleberries I found you unconcious. I brought you here and took care of your hands, although I was not good at it,"

His words explained the messy wrapping I was having. Then he walked away and came back bringing a plate of berries.

"Here, have some," he offered. I took one and ate it. It tasted good, like the blackberries I have been having. "By the way, how come your hands got wounded so bad?"

"...Exploded invention..." I answered.

"Invention? Are you an inventor like Ginger Snap?" He asked curiously, which gave me the answer that the girl in fuschia jacket was named Ginger Snap and was also an inventor.

"Yes..." I answered.

"Cool! May I visit your house someday?" He asked.

"We can do that right now," I replied.

"But your hands...?" He wondered.

"One of my inventions is a device which can heal wounds. The sooner I get there, the better," I replied, which made me wonder how I could say those words without hesitation.

So both of us walked through Blackberry Bushes until we arrived in front of a large tree where my house was hidden. The ladder was still unhid because I forgot to press the button once again to hide it. This time the pain was not as severe as before so I could climb into my house just fine.

Inside my house, I went towards the "Successful Invention" shelf while Huck was looking around. I took a metal sphere from the shelf, put it on the table at the center of the house, and turned it on. The sphere radiated blue aura and I put my hands on it. A moment later, the blue aura faded away. I opened the bandage on my hands and saw that my hands have been healed. Better yet, it seemed like the wounds had never been there before. Huck witnessed all that happened and was astonished.

"Glad that I have made this Phoenix Tear," I said. "Too bad it can only be used once a week at most,"

I took the device and went to put it back in the shelf. As I was doing that, Huck asked me, "What is this?" with his hand going to touch the broken Time Remote.

"NO! DON'T!" I shouted, but it was too late. He got zapped by the aftermath of the Time Remote. I then regretted forgetting to put it into the "Danger! Do not touch!" shelf.

"Whoa! What was that?" He asked.

"Umm, something for playing pranks," I lied.

Some hours later, Huck went home. I carefully put Time Remote's aftermath into the place it should be, and checked the Time Monitor. I saw that the Time Remote would mess his memory up and...

"In five minutes he will forget about me and everything that happened here?!!" I shouted.

Well, what's done is done. I turned the Time Monitor off with a deep sigh...

Quote:Chapter 3: Telekinator

I have finished making the device capable of seeing through time, which I named as Time Monitor. I turned it on and observed what the Time Remote's overcharge button had caused. Then I saw that it had re-written the memory of all Strawberryland residents. It had made them lost their memories of their human friends so they only knew that they had been living only with their pets. However, I also saw that two weeks after, they re-introduced each other so I didn't need to go back to the timeline to fix things.

A few days later, I finished another device. This one was capable of moving objects without touching the object. Since the ability was similar to what people named as telekinesis, I named the device as Telekinator.

"Time to test it," I thought, walking out of my house.

I tried using the Telekinator on a small stone, and it worked fine. Then I tested it on a larger rock, and it still worked fine. I tried it on another rock, which was big and heavy, but this time it didn't work. I tried lifting the rock while the Telekinator was still used on it, and I could lift it quite easily. Then I came to a conclusion that the Telekinator had a weight limit on the target object. If the target is heavier than the weight limit, the Telekinator will only lighten the target's weight by its limit. Further research assured me that the weight limit was 22.7 kilograms. I thought that it was quite small, but I couldn't find a way to increase the limit so I had to just live with it.

Having nothing to do for the rest of the day, I tried going to the center of Strawberryland. Who knows, maybe I would get to become friend with those kids. I was still inconfident but I had to try or else nothing would get done.

I walked around and finally found them gathering together with a talking horse. I only watched them from afar since I got struck by inconfidence. I couldn't hear anything they were talking about, but I saw the girl in fuschia jacket suddenly had a globe on her hands, and the globe disappeared soon after.

"Is that girl capable of making devices too?" I wondered. I saw them leaving and I followed them slowly.

They arrived in front of an old bridge that seemed ready to collapse anytime soon. My thought was further strengthened, seeing that a slight touch by the fuschia girl made one board cracked and fell down. However, I saw the strawberry girl walking towards the bridge.

"The bridge won't hold," I thought, quickly taking the Telekinator from my pocket and used it on her. The Telekinator lightened her so the bridge still managed to sustain the weight. Other kids followed her and I did the same to each of them. However, when the talking horse took the turn, the Telekinator couldn't lighten her enough that the bridge cracked. I was quite worried, but the kids saved her in the end. After they left, I followed them slowly once again.

I stopped following after I saw them crossing a sea with a raft. There was no way I could follow them, so I decided to go back home. However, after crossing the old bridge again, I remembered that I needed to lighten them when they come back, so I rested behind a bush and waited.

Quite a while after, i finally saw them coming back, but without the horse. I wondered but there was no time to wonder because this time they attempted to cross the bridge together. That meant the Telekinator's power would be divided among them. I could only hope the bridge would still hold.

When they were halfway through the bridge, there was a large tree stump, brought by the river's current, charging fast towards them. I had to stop the tree so I quickly used the Telekinator on the tree and pressed the overcharge button, which I almost always had made on all my devices. I stopped the tree just in time, but the fact that the kids were no longer lightened, and the shockwave made by a sudden complete stop, made the part of the bridge where the kids were standing fell down.

I didn't know what happened to them, but I was sure that if I let the tree go, the kids would surely be in a worse trouble than now. I kept the tree in its place, ignoring the fact that the Telekinator started to overheat and burned my hands. I tried to endure the pain, but in the end the Telekinator itself couldn't endure. It exploded right on my hands, severely injuring them. However, I was more worried on the kids so I ran downstream as fast as I could, only to see them saved by the talking horse just in time. I was relieved and wanted to approach them, but I had to go home and take care of my wounds first.

While walking home, I suddenly realized what a fool I was. I could just use the overcharge button on the kids to save them immediately. But what's done is done, and I kept walking home, with pain on my hands...

Quote:Chapter 2: Continuity Error

I have finished another of my inventions. This time I made a remote capable of sending someone through time, although only to the past. This device I had named as Time Remote had number buttons, a red button, a green button, and a purple button. I pressed some number buttons followed by the green button, and there was a blinding light covering me.

When I realized it, I was in the middle of a storm at night. It was raining hard and lightnings strike loudly. I quickly took a capsule-like device from my pocket, threw it upwards, and it exploded creating a light dome which protected me from the rain.

"This should do it," I thought, when I heard a sound of a dog howling, followed by a familiar shout.

"Great galloping gooseberries!" I heard the shout. I recognized it as the same voice the girl in strawberry hat has. I wanted to go to the source of the voice but the light dome was static. It was not made to be able to move.

"Remind me to make it mobile next time," I spoke to myself, which sounded silly.

The time remote needed to recharge its energy, so I had no other choice but to spend the night right at the place I was standing. I fell asleep quite easily there anyway.

At the next day I woke up, the storm was no more. The sun was shining brightly and the light dome has reverted back into a capsule, which I then put into my pocket. However, the Time Remote still needed some time to absorb sunlight to recharge its energy so I decided to walk around.

"So this is one month ago? Not much different of course," I thought, walking towards the source of the voice I had heard. I found a strawberry-shaped house, which was obviously the strawberry girl's house in my thinking.

I continued walking around without approaching the house because I had to keep myself from causing a time paradox, so I had to avoid meeting any people there.

After some while, I checked the Time Remote and saw that it was ready to use. I pressed the red button to take me home, and a blinding light covered me.

When I realized it, I once again was in the middle of a storm at night. But this time I was in a forest. The light dome capsule was still unusable so I had to look for a shelter. Gladly I found a hollow tree so I entered its hole and sat inside.

"Next time I should bring more than just one Paraplu," I spoke to myself, which again, sounded silly. "Now I wonder why the red button didn't bring me home. Did I make a mistake in the making again?"

While waiting, I heard sounds of kids shouting. The sounds seemed like the kids were calling names. I tried to focus my hearing so I could hear them more clearly.

"Custard... and... Pupcake...?" I thought.

I wanted to go out and see what was happening, but I couldn't stand the rain so I kept sitting inside the hollow tree and fell asleep there due to the side effect of time-travelling.

When I woke up, it was already in the middle of the day. The Time Remote was ready to use again, but seeing what happened before, I doubted it. That meant I had to use the overcharge button. I actually didn't want to use it since the massive amount of energy from it might cause bad thing to happen there.

"I had no other choice..." I thought, pressing the red and purple button at the same time. Once again, a blinding light covered me.

When I realized it, I was already home at the correct timeline. I carefully put the Time Remote, which was then full of electricity waves around it, on a table. I was hoping that the overcharge button didn't cause any significant trouble to the past.

I was still worried though, so I started making a device capable of seeing through time and everything related to the Time Remote. Still, I could only hope I wouldn't see something bad from it.

Quote:Chapter 1: Growing Better All The Time

It was a sunny day when I was sitting in front of my desk, finishing my invention. Sometimes I could hear cheerings of children outside, and whenever it happened, I felt something strange. Something that made me feel like joining them.

"Is this what they call as lonely...?" I wondered.

But I couldn't go. I was afraid that they would call me a weirdo. Who wouldn't call a boy who wears dark outfit even though it's sunny outside, wears thick glasses, and prefers secluding himself making "weird devices", a weirdo?

I continued my work until I finally finished the device. A small radar-shaped device which is capable of driving birds away from an area around it.

"This will be useful for farmers," I thought. "Now time to put it into practice"

I walked out of my house, which is a tree house perfectly hidden by the leaves, walked past Blackberry Bushes, through the Huckleberry Briar, and finally I was in the outfield. Once again I heard a cheering of children so I quickly went hiding behind a bush. I looked around and saw five kids, four girls and one boy to be exact, running by. I decided to follow them quietly, but I ended up losing their track. Getting tired, I sat down under a tree to take some rest, only to fall asleep a few minutes later.

I didn't know how long I was asleep. The only thing I knew was that when I woke up, I saw the five kids walking back carrying gardening equipments, and a little bit dirty with dirt covering their clothes. Seeing those gave me a hunch that I've got an opportunity to test my device.

I walked to the way they came from, and ended up seeing an area of land which has been plowed and marked with flower signs. Just as I had thought, they intended to make a garden there. I picked the device from my pocket, put it in the middle of the area, and turned it on.

"Now birds won't come eating the seeds," I thought. "Time to go home and let nature takes care of itself,"

A few days later, I went to the area to check the progress. I arrived there quite in the early morning, only to see the area devastated by a legion of crows.

"What's wrong with the device? I made it to drive birds away, not to attract crows!" I wondered, rushing into the legion to find the device and turn it off.

After I had turned the device off, all the crows went away. But I was sure that some of them would return. I looked around, seeing an area that was ruined because of my own fault for not testing it in my place first.

"If the kids find out that this is all my fault, they all will hate me for sure," I thought, leaving the place quickly.

At home I took a look at the device and discovered that I really had made a mistake in the making. As the result, the device worked the opposite way of what it was supposed to be. It took some while but I managed to fix the problem. Then I took a different device from my shelf, and left home carrying the two devices.

I walked to the area once again to drive the rest of the crows away from the field so I could use the other device. However, when I arrived there I saw the five kids driving away the crows using scarecrows modeled like themselves.

"Old fashioned way. Simple but effective," I thought, feeling relieved that they themselves had solved the problem I have caused. "There's no need to use Scarecrow then. I'll just use Nature's Blessing from here without their knowing,"

I took the other device from my pocket, planted it on the ground, and turned it on. The device glowed a green aura and made all seeds on the area grow before the kids' eyes. I could hear the girl in strawberry hat shouting "Great galloping gooseberries!"

I left the place, feeling sure that someday I would be friends with them. But not for now since I was still not confident about it.

Well, due to what it seemed to be "a series of unfortunate events", I had to start over from scratch and move to another server, courtesy of Chris Philips from The GTA Place. No action is needed on your part, except for re-registering (if you're an existing user) and telling everyone about the server move.

Donations of any amount are also welcome, as we do need funds for the site's hosting costs. While I can find a freely-available server for this place, I'm afraid that most of them are a little, uh, unreliable, and some of them shut down after a few months, being that they promise too much, and yet they aren't able to hold up to it.

May this year be a good one!
