Simultaneously, the two norns popped out
of their eggs. (Imagine sharing YOUR exact birthday and time with 17 people
in YOUR home) They were quickly named Zackie and Leanne. They engaged in
conversation immediately. (I.e.: Goo? Ba. Bibble? Ba. & other strikingly
advanced words..) From then on, they were Norn buds forever. They decided
to explore, so they left the hives and rode the elevator to the movies.
“Just some boring travelogue” said Leanne. Zackie agreed, and pushed
the button. The music room! Fascinating. Exclaims of “Hey Leanne!
Dig these drums!” and “This harp is exquisite!” were heard. (Well, not
really.) Then they discovered the trumpet. Leanne blew into
it. “Not really my song.” she said. Zackie tried. “Fun though!” he
said. They decided to take it with them. Kissing and giggling, they
entered the cellar. Zackie noticed some green cups on the shelf.
“Hey! Look!” he said. “Wonder what they are…” He picked one up and looked
at it. It appeared to contain a liquid. “Gee. I wonder if its that sweet
stuff that comes out of the jars?” he said. “I dunno Zackie, but I think
we should leave it.” Said Leanne “It’s dripping out of that thing over
there, so it can’t be the sticky stuff.” “Well, I’m going to try
it anyway.” Said Zackie. Leanne tried to grab the cup, but Zackie
managed to drink its contents. “Well?” said Leanne. “I bet
it wasn’t sticky stuff was it?” She tapped her foot impatiently. “Noooo…”
said Zackie “its geally rood though… I mean ready gool… I mean…. Hic!!”
“What the heck are you doing?!” Said Leanne, confused as she watched Zackie
stumble around the cellar. “Its sumfin ‘bout this stuff…” he mumbled.
“ Oh, honestly” said Leanne. “Come on, stupid”. Leanne dragged Zackie into
the elevator and pushed the green button. By now Zackie was starting
to recover. “Whoa” he said. “I think I’m gonna barf”. “Don’t worry.” Said
Leanne. “You can’t barf.” Zackie lay down and went to sleep, while
Leanne tried not to as she watched the movie. Soon she drifted off
and started snoring. Zackie woke up. “Ahhh…” he said. “What a nice
nap! Since Leanne is asleep, I’m going to explore”. And with that, he set
off on the raft across the pool. He found himself in a tunnel with
lots of windows. Everywhere he looked, there was water crashing around
him. “But I’m not wet!” he thought. “Groovy!” He decided to take a closer
look, so he rode the elevator down to the ground. There, he saw lots
of floating thingys that made bubbles. “Pretty” said the hand. “Pretty”
repeated Zackie. He tried to go into the tunnel to his left, but
there appeared to be some kind of force field there. He went back up in
the elevator to the cannon. He pushed it…BANG! Zackie jumped back
“Afraid!” he said. Still shaken up, he went over to the well. Disappointed,
he found it contained no liquid. Bored, he went up to the top of
the lighthouse. He played with the telescope for a while then went
back to the pool with the raft. “Norn!” he called, looking for Leanne.
“I’m over here, dummy!” She replied. Zackie smiled and crossed the pool.
“You won’t believe what I’ve seen!” He said. Zackie proceeded to
tell Leanne about his journey, not even noticing when his little Norn friend
fell fast asleep.
