"What?" Stef asked, "this is such bullshit, how are we supposed to even find the rich stuff if there isn't no rich stuff?!"
I sat on the rock that was in the back of me, "I thought you believed in it?" Mikey asked "well, I don't anymore alright, I just wanna go home now.." I put my hands in my pockets. "I agree one hundred percent with June.. man Mikey what are we even doing here? We're gonna get ourselves killed.." Brand sighed.
"You know I always used to believe that when you threw your money in.. It'd become your wish." Andi says. I saw Mikey and Data talk about the coins, they were shoving it in each other's pockets
Then Stef walked to them, telling them that it was somebody else's wish and dreams.
"Yeah... but you know what? I wished that my mom and dad wouldn't work so hard, and that they would have enough money to pay for our house.. But It never came true.. so what's the point anyway?" I asked the gang, they all gave me a sad expression, "and right here.. this one? This was my wish.. and it never came true. I'm taking them back... I'm taking them all back" Mouth held up a coin. Then dived into the water, searching for the rest of the coins

My feet was in the water, I didn't care about my shoes getting wet at this point. All I could ever care about is going home and eating, I need food!!
The sound of a quarter or whatever the hell that was, hit the rock that was under the well.
It caught all of our attention.
I didn't know who it was, Andi ran to the rock, climbing on top of it.

"Hey! Whose down there?" A voice called
"Troy?" Andi asked
oh man..
"Andi?" Troy chuckled "yes Troy it's me, can you please send down the bucket and the rope?"
"What the hell are you doing at the bottom of a well??"
"Don't ask any stupid questions, we're stuck down here. just send down the bucket and the rope!" Andi shouts,
"See guys? Wishes do come true." I heard him say. "Now I'll just work my magic, and Andi will feel pleasure later on."
I felt disgusted on how he spoke to his friends about Andi, I mean.. like I don't hate Andi or anything. she shouldn't be treated like this, she deserves to be treated with respect!
I walked to the rock, as I climbed onto there I looked up and saw Troy with his minions.
"Hey asshole for brains!" I yelled "don't disrespect her like that! She's an amazing girl who has feelings, And you're just a jock who is an idiot. Now you can either send down the goddamn bucket and rope or you can get a real beating. Pick it!"
Everyone in this area gasped.
"just send the bucket down Troy." I heard one of the teenagers say, Troy groaned.
"You're so dead June."
•••
The bucket was finally down. Andi was the first one to go in, since brand was in charge and he picked who to go first.
"Chester Copperpot, Chester Copperpot.. Chester Copperpot.." I heard Mikey whisper.
"Chester Copperpot!" He shouted, we all turned our heads to Mikey. "Don't you guys see? Don't you guys realize? He was a pro! He never made it this far.. look how far we've come guys, we got a chance." Mikey said, he stared at all of us. "if he didn't make it out Mikey, what makes our gang so special? We won't make it out alive." I said, while I put my hand on my hip

"And a chance at what Mikey? Getting killed? Look if we keep going someone's gonna get hurt real bad.. maybe even dead." Andi says "besides we gotta get to the police."
"Maybe chunk got to the police" Mikey says, staring at Andi. "What if chunks dead?"
"Don't say that! Never say that, Goonies Never Say Die!"
"I'm not a goonie.. I want to go home." Andi said, tying the rope around her body.
Mikey looked down "I forgot... but still! Don't you realize? The next time you see the sky.. it'll be over in another town, the next time you take a test.. it'll be in some other school. Our parents, they want the best stuff for us. But right now they gotta do what's right for them, cause it's their time.. Their Time! Up there, but down here.. it's our time, Our Time.. our time down here.."
we all looked at each other.
"That's all gonna be over, if we ride troys bucket."
I sighed, looking at Jon. He had a smile on his face, he then nodded.
I climbed down, standing by Mikey,
"goonies or not.. we stick together." I said glancing at Mikey.
He had a smile on his face, "see.. come on guys."
Andi got off the bucket, taking off Troy's sweater placing it onto the bucket.
We could hear Troy yell something, but I didn't know what it was.

Tale of Family - Book 1 - WIP
The world is peaceful in 2063. Fusion reactor and Diamon battery had taken care of the energetical problem. Countries were stable. Automation was everywhere. Life wasn't hard anymore, at least not in the United States of Europe. Summer break is about to start and, finally, Zoe will turn 18 and be able to play the game, Binding Fate. A simple video game, a vrmmo, but what swam under its surface wasn't simple. Power, fame and money were but the tip of the iceberg... State: Hiatus because I've an idea for another story. Quick F.A.Q. : - Yuri/female homosexual relation? Yes.- Yaoi/male homosexual relation? Maybe.- Explicit Sexual Content? Maybe.- Full Fledged Tragedy? No. Never, ever ever.- Body Modification/Body Horror? Yes. (Note: what one person think is body horror can be acceptable for someone else. If you want to see to what length I can go, read a bit of The Other Labyrinth. However, I won't go as high as quickly in the body mod/horror, so relax.- Gore? Hell yeah! I love gore! spraying blood and viscera etc...- Torture? Hurgh... maybe? Idk. Not at the start at the very least.- Memory loss/erasing? No, or at least not permanently. I basically hate this trope because it's like taking out all the character grow from a character, destroying everything that makes them what and who they are. so no.- Overpowered protagonist? You will see mufufu...- Will characters stay relevant seeing how numerous they are? YES, MOTHERFUCKING YES, I hate when characters relevance decay over time for no good reasons ^^'- Plot Armor? First of all, a definition: "Sometimes referred to as "Script Immunity" or a "Character Shield", Plot Armor is when a main character's life and health are safeguarded by the fact that he's the one person who can't be removed from the story. Therefore, whenever Bob is in a situation where he could be killed (or at the least very seriously injured), he comes out unharmed with no logical, in-universe explanation." (courtesy of https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlotArmor I love you guys ^^) So now that this is said, do my characters have plot armour? No, because I always have an in-universe explanation, even if you don't know it yet ^^ Something is illogical or don't make sense? Read more, the answer is surely in the story ^u^- Balanced system? If you want to crush numbers and have a perfect equation balancing all the system, that's not the story for you. The system is more like a living being, and the rewards aren't forcibly tied to the level of the player. In fact, the system is purposely unbalanced ^^' Author's note: My goal here is to write a slow-paced story revolving around the bonds linking the characters, be them family, friends or lovers. Fight will be part of it, but I intend to build an actual interesting world before making truly large-scale battle happen, because the bigger a battle is, the larger its causes and effects are. I also aim at telling a story about how the characters actually help each other becoming stronger, more stable and happier. I particularly despise the lone MC type that becomes so powerful that every other character of the current setting become irrelevant beside being hostage targets, so this will not happen. I also like crafting, arrays, blacksmithing etc... so there may be crafting. Another thing I like is management game like sim-city or the like, so this while also appears, keeping in mind that I like MC's that make people around them stronger... For the tropers around here, a list of tropes that I like to use (note that I may not use all of them ^^) (this list will be updated as I dive deeper and deeper into our dear trope wiki.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BodyHorror- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SealedGoodInACan- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouAreNotAlone- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ZombieAdvocate (In particular since I see a lot of things that aren't human as worthy to live and to live with)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasLovedOnes- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasStandards- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeelFaceTurn- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CorruptTheCutie (Note: being corrupted don't mean you're a villain, only different than before.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DefectingForLove (Of course.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VillainousRescue- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InterspeciesAdoption (For the same reasons as zombie advocate, since I love family stuff)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrokenBird (to go with corrupt the cutie if it's a girl)Cover: "The Bard" by John Martin, 1817.

The Curio Shoppe
Kellan Klein is an ordinary college student with an average, if traumatic and painful past. Everyone grows up grappling with depression and anxiety that seem to be genetic in a house with parents that, while loving, fight all the time and have weird ideas about what kids should and shouldn't do, right? Everyone deals with bullying, racism, judgement on their romantic inclinations and their family's economic status and just general shittiness, right? All of Kellan's friends sure did, and for all of them, entertaiment media were a welcome escape from their painful, dreary lives. After all, who wouldn't want to sail the seas with Monkey D. Luffy and the Strawhats, or help Meng Hao con increasingly powerful and influential people, or join Cecil Harvey and his friends on their weird journey to save the world, or make friends with Peter Parker while pretending to not know he was everyone's favorite wall-crawling superhero? Kellan certainly wanted to, and while he pursued college to seek out a career he saw himself enjoying, something felt inexplicably empty about his life. So when a decidely sinister force kidnaps him and the prettiest man he's ever seen saves his life and offers him his wildest dreams, Kellan becomes the shopkeeper of a mysterious, dimension hopping shop, complete with a system that helps him acquire items. abilities, materials, and other cool shit to stock it with, as well as some other neat perks. Will Kellan become a boring overpowered MC, like the kind from web fiction that he reads to sate his boredom? Will he keep his generally kind, sweet nature despite the shit he's gone through and will go through, or will he inexplicably become a scary, violent, irrational arrogant douchebag? Will he use his newfound abilities to explore the multiverse and improve the lives of himself and others, or will he become his own antithesis, a purely mercantile jerk obsessed with money and profit, with no concern for anything that doesn't help or hurt his business? Find out in The Curio Shoppe! Author's note: Please suggest possible setting he could visit in the comments. I'll gather ones i'm familiar with, and at the end of every arc, a poll will be held to decide the next location he visits. There will be polls for other purposes, and I might not always go with the poll winner if I feel one of the other options is more fun to read/write about. I will not use the settings of other RRL writers without their permission.Do not ask for that, unless the author in question gives permission. Most settings he visits will be slightly AU in some way or another, but please remind me if I drift too far from canon unintentionally or characterize a character wrongly. This work will eventually fit all tags I selected once he visits universes suited to those tags, so don't ask when or where a given tag is coming. I do not own the cover art, it belongs to Nicholas Belanger Thiel, and I will stop using it if he asks me to. Kellan doesn't look like the old man on the cover, though once he acquires a disguise-type ability he may occasionally use that appearance. The tapir, however, will be a thing, as despite looking like a failed attempt at an elephant, tapirs are cool and this dragon finds them to be kinda cute. The art, along with more of Nicholas's pieces, can be found at https://www.artstation.com/artwork/51bXz
