Whoo *waves flag*, this fanfic is going to be a special one. I'm going to write one chapter, draw one chapter in a comic, write one chapter etc. That makes the fanfic a bit longer & I don't have to translate moves and expressions so much, what's kinda difficult to me. So here, tah-dah.
Chapter 1 : The Lost Whatnots
Raven Tooth ticked with her bloodred polished nails on the desk, what sounded like it rained inside the little house she lived.
She hated the world. She hated herself. ´Why´, she thought, ´do I have to be like I am? I'm trying to find myself, but the way I'm living now I'm only losing myself.'
That was true. As a real whatnot teen Raven wanted to find out her identity. Together with her friends Zara and Flynn she had been indie, emo, scene, hippie and everything between it. But none of those styles were really like she wanted to be.
And since the gang became Gothic, she wondered if she was just a girl-next-door, that she just was a poser with doing all these things.
She felt like she had to cry, when suddenly a heavy-metal tune sounded through the room. Her cellphone. Raven saw Zara called her.
"Y-yes?", she asked. "I wanna talk to you", Zara said, "now. Please come to the city center."
Half an hour later. Raven Tooth, Zacharia Ullmer and Flynn McFoxx were standing in front of the city hall which was exactly the middle of the small town they were living in.
"And what did you want us to talk about, Zara?" The Scottish whatnot wobbled on her two army-booted feet.
Zara smiled. "You all would agree with me if I say this is not what we want."
"Yup. I can't stand skirts." Raven sighed and fiddled with one finger in her pink curls.
"I have got an idea. It is small, but it can be something." With an euphoric move Zara pulled a paper out of her pocket.
"What's this? 'The electric mayhem again performing in the muppet theatre.' Yes, and what's with this advertorial?" Raven rolled her eyes. Zara was always very impulsive and reckless. Another reason why she didn't get good results at school. All of them didn't.
"Look at the picture, Ravy." Zara pointed to the picture next to the text.
"Ehh, yeah? Those are muppets who made it, Zara. We can't start a band or something. Nobody wants a whatnot Goth band. We're just Lost Whatnots, those are all over the world."
"Look at THEM!" Zara pointed to the round face of the keyboard player.
"That's- Hey Ravy, he looks a bit like you! Green skin, orange nose... Only his hair is orange. And that guy looks like-- wait a second, Zacharia! That guy looks like you with sunglasses on and blue hair! And that guy, gee." Flynn blushed. "He looks a bit, umm, like me."
Raven realized what Zara was after. They all looked like someone from that cute muppet band. And Flynn had a friend who looked just like the yellow girl, only he was a boy and he didn't wear eyeshadow and lipstick. And herself, she knew a girl who was totally fond of nearly all boys at the world, she looked a bit like the insane-looking drummer.
"Zara," she said, "you are a genius."
"Oh, I already knew that." Zara smiled arrogant.
"Guys," Flynn said, "this means we found a good identity!"
They began to laugh and run around the place. "We found it! Finally!"
A few days later Zara was standing in front of the house of Raven.
"You know," Zara said, "I did do some research, and I know which instruments we have to play. We've got a lot of work to do. I already did mine."
She took off the cap she was wearing and Raven saw Zara's long, straight, black hair was changed into short, curling, blue hair.
"Your turn," she smiled. "I managed the colours."
"Umm, Zara... I don't know if this is such a good idea." Raven was sitting in front of the mirror in her room, a towel around her just coloured hair.
"Me neither, but I did just do what seemed good to me. Look." Zara pulled away the towel.
Raven saw that her pink hair turned the colour of fresh carrots. She swallowed.
End of chapter 1
Note: About the lost whatnots, I suppose that, if muppets were real(but that's the world we're writing fanfics in), there would be a few whatnots/background muppets who don't stay around the theatre but move to other parts of the world and start a new life there, just like humans.
In this case, Raven, Zacharia and Flynn are the children of those 'pioneers', and they're called the 'lost whatnots', because none of the muppet in and around the theatre knows about their existence.
If that sounded boring, I've got more muppet theories which will be convenient in the next chapters, so... ;P
