Beginning at the End


Ok, I really don't know where to start so we'll just start at the beginning of the end...Once upon a time, there was a girl with long red hair who lived in a land called Happy Valley. She was a very happy girl, I mean, who wouldn't be happy in a place called happy valley. For the most part this girl loved her home, but she kept having a feelig that she needed to go explore the world outside of her little bubble. So one day, she packed up her belongings, said good bye to her family and her cat Lucy and traveled to a land far far away. After traveling for a long time, she stumbled upon a city which was very opposite from Happy Valley. Infact, some people have been known to call this land Sin City or The Muddy (refering to its complete lack of vegetation, of coarse). This girl felt very out of place in Sin City, but she decided to stay so she could experience different things and so she could learn more about the corporate world. Well, sadly, the girl found that the corporate world was a harsh one. People didn't care about eachother like they did in Happy Valley. It was very hard for her to stay in The Muddy and she missed her family and her cat Lucy.




As time passed, the girl lost her job, found another one, got laid off from that job, and ended up finding another one that was even better than the first. She traded her long beautiful red locks for a more stylish look (short and dark). She bought her first car, then was in her first car accident ever, she broke her foot, and she learned to deal with living in a city of scortching conditions and without plants. Life was tricky, but the girl learned to make the best of it because she had great friends who had also traveled with her to Sin City.




Meanwhile, there was a boy who lived in the beautiful city of Orlando Florida. To this day it will never quite be understood why he wanted to leave this oasis of a place, except that he had a feeling, like the girl, that he needed to abandon his comfort zone, and start a new life. He traveled and he traveled and he traveled and finally he ended up in The Muddy. It was very different from Florida, with its dry heat and its lack of water, but the boy liked it. It was a change of scenery. He too found a job and began an exciting new life in the muddy.




One day the boy and his sister, who had traveled with him, went to explore more of the city, when they came upon a group of young people, like themselves, who were having a picnick and playing in the sun. "Come join us!" the group shouted to the boy and his sister.... and so they did.


And that was when the girl met the boy. It was his dark hair and his dark eyes that caught her attention first. But he had a great smile too. She was giddy and out going and he liked frizbee and so they got to know eachother a little better that day... and have been friends ever since.


The boy and the girl had many adventures. They went through a lot together as they battled life in a city like "The Muddy", but they were there for eachother through the thick and the thin and they became very close.


The girl started to realize the reason she needed to leave her home in happy valley. She needed to go through the experiences she did, and she needed the boy in her life. He realized the same and they decided that life wouldn't be very meaningful if they couldn't help eachother through it....so they decided to make it permanent. The beginning of a whole new adventure together and the end of a chapter of their lives that had only been the precurser to the rest of eternity.


THE END.... OR THE BEGINNING
