A Simple Wish Version 3.1.1 Final by Shaun Garin Ah! My Goddess charecters are designed and owned by Kosuke Fujishima. Any other ones are owned by their own creators. This is one of my favorite type of writings : Self Insertion. I came upon this type of writing about half a year ago and was thrilled to find out the chaos in the series when it happened. Then came my favorite story, Foriegn Influence. True, it was not a self insertion but it was the best story I have read in my life. This led up to reading Oh My Brother and Oh My God stories written by Brett Handy and Christopher �God-boy� Angel. These writers have inspired me to do the �Self-gets-wish� deal. But this is a little different : I don�t become a god through any slip of the tongue, or something else like that. I may become immortal but that�s not my choice. I�d rather be a normal mortal who periodically reads Ah! My Goddess and other things like that, churning out several fan fics a month. Did I forget to mention that I�m living in a world where we know the Norns as anime charecters? Well, we thought they WERE anime charecters. Obviously, we were wrong. Enjoy. Oh, one other note, this is about a year after the series ends. Skuld is now physically 16 years old. Trust me, its better this way. - Shaun Garin 1/8/99 A Simple Wish Version 3.1.1 Final by Shaun Garin Chapter 1 : Divine Interaction A wish can turn your life about in a full three hundred and sixty turntable. I never knew how this would end, or perhaps, maybe I would never know. But for all that would happen, I�m happy. Not for myself, but for the people and lives I had touched. It all started on a Friday morning, November twenty, Ninteen Hundred and Ninty Eight.... *** I was bored. Immencely so. But that was about three months ago. Oh, I should introduce myself. I am Shaun Garin, Fan fic writer, Juinor at a Private School, seventeen years of age, and all around Pokemon enthusiast. Needless to say, my life was everything but Abnormal. That was until the wierd E-Mail I got a few months ago... *** Cursing the damned infernal Bill Gates for creating the Windows 3.1.1, I waited for god knows how long to let the freaking slow internet to load up. Somehow, I figured that Gates was totally on speed when he created the computers in the lab. Here I was, wainting for my mail page to load up in the screen, my feet propped up on the table and kicking the living snot out of Sabrina�s Psychic Pokemon when the web page finally loaded up. I quickly logged in and found a new message. I scrolled down the screen to find a simple message that said, Re : Reply I blinked. I stared. I blinked some more. <goddesshelp@sys.heaven.gov> message : Reply You are in luck. We�ll be right down for a wish consultation. I blinked. Again. For two more times. �No way,� I said, staring at the screen. �No friggin way. They can�t mean...Naw.� I logged off the terminal and grabbed my pack. Class was starting for second afternoon period. All throughout school, my mind was pacing back and forth in the small space I call a cerebrial cavity. �If that was legitimate, then something is about to happen. I�ve read stories about guys who become gods when they make a stupid wish. But this takes the cake. Either that or my whole life is one big fan fic. But the Goddess Relief Office? That�s nearly immposible. Unless the big guy upstairs has decided to make a multiverse out there. It�s theory is sound but the concept of one of the Goddesses coming to grant my wish is almost nil. Still, I hope its Urd,� the lecherous pinprick of my mind commented. I mentally smacked myself out of Perversion City and returned to listening to Mrs. Jeffery, my CALM 20 teacher. Or in my specific case, trying to catch that blasted little Abra. *** I yawned loudly as I walked to the bathroom. My parents were gone for the weekend to my cousins. Something about activities. Sadly, I had a banquet in the next day so I couldn�t go. My little brother and my grandmother were with me but they were never around. I turned on the shower and let it warm up to nearly scalding. As I started to remove my shirt, I just remembered something. Quickly, I kept my clothes on and peered into the shower. There was a swirling vortex in the filling tub. I backed out, just enough. That move in its entirity saved my skull. Literally. A pretty young girl, about 16 years old popped out of the hot water. She wore a long red coat, a white shirt and skirt, and had several bracelets on her writst. her head had a long length of ebony hair, it reaching down to the small of her back. On her face was three rounded triangular shaped blue markings with two on the underside of her brown eyes. In the center of them was a little yellow pinprick. On her back, I noticed with caution, was the proverbial mallet of the system debugger. Not a very nice thing to encounter up close and personally. She reacted normally. Well, normal as she does to people she gives wishes to. �AHHHHHH! PERVERT!!!� she screamed, bringing down the mallet in a vicious stroke. At least I was ready. Dodging to oneside of the vicious downward mallet strike, she regained enough sence to stop. �Uh? Oh I�m sorry! I reacted out of habit!� �That�s alright,� I chuckled. �But if you�re really sorry, then we should talk about the way you greet people.� She blushed, embarresed by my casting words. Soon, she snapped out of anylitical mode to start up her speech. �Oh, I�m Skuld, Goddess of the Future, Limited. I�m here to grant you a wish.� I laughed. What to do with a wish? A brief idea formed in my mind as the imaginary bucket of cold water came out of nowhere and hit a irrate Landon Nahorney, changing him into a small mouse. Skuld giggled and I reddened in embarasment. I forgot she could read minds while granting wishes. I grabbed my stuff and tossed them back inside my bedroom before saying, �Please wait in the living room.� Skuld pouted cutely. Wow, she�s devestating with that look. Never really appreciated how she looked outside of Anime and Manga. Rather cute girl. Skuld suddenly turned a shade of beet red. I noticed it and suddenly, I laughed nervously. She followed me downstairs and I asked, �Tea? I have herbal.� �Arigato.� Now, to be honest, I don�t understand a word of Japanese, no matter how much I watch Anime. To be completely honest, the only Japanese I knew was from anime. Little did I know that I was about to get a crash course in Japanese culture and language. *** �This is a nice home Shaun-san,� Skuld took a sip of her Peppermint tea and leaned back in the leather reclining love seat. I sat on the couch, my feet propped up as well. �Thanks. I like it.� She sat the mug down on her coaster and looked at me intently. �Have you decided yet?� I shrugged. �I thought of several hundred things I could wish for. But none of them interest me surprisingly. But I have an idea.� I sat my tea on the coaster and looked at her. �What would YOU wish for?� She nearly dropped her mug in surprise. M-me? No one�s asked me about what I want.� she dropped into silence. You could almost hear the computer data pouring into her mind. �I guess...� she started slowly but then she shook her head. �What is it?� I asked. I was curious. After all, she was the one who was granting me the wish, and I was offering it to her. Something was different from her point of view. �Well, being the Goddess of the Future is such a boring job.� Boring? That threw me for a loop. �I know what can happen in the future and this universe sucks. Nothing but Accention. I want something exciting to happen.� Something exciting? Well, perhaps that can be arranged. �I wish...for Skuld�s fondest wish to...� She looked up in surprise and shock. Mostly the latter. Her lips formed a silent thank you. �...come true.� I finished. She exploded in a coccon of bright white light as she rose up into the air. The beam of light lanced out into the night sky and she settled down after a minute. She looked at me and smiled. �Thank you. My wish, is granted.� *** In a small room, a computer terminal sat on a dust covered desk. With a flicker, it lit up with a blue light. Yggdrasil Login : G Password : ********* Status : Incoming wish Condition Red Switching to Yggdrasil interface AT Handshake aquired Universe crossover accomplished, switching to intermelding. Universe melding completed. Multiverse, abandon accention until Crystal Tokyo. Logoff. The computer turned off with a flicker and quickly, the multiverses around the one formerly known as 6544 became Multiverse Omega. *** I followed Skuld into the Temple where she stayed. Keiichi nearly had a heart attack when we both popped out of the furo water. You�d think a guy who had more problems than Ranma on a good day would get used to goddesses popping out of the wierdest places possible. Think about it. Soon, Belldandy, Urd and Keiichi sat at the table, Skuld and I sitting at the other side. Urd was half asleep and grumpier than a Snorlax that was just woken up. She brushed the locks of platinum hair from her face and stared me in the face. �So you�re Skuld�s first wish recipient, eh? Not very much to look at.� I growled under my breath. If it was one thing I hated most, it was people making fun of my height and weight. I may be sixty pounds overweight but I was energetic as hell. �That�s right,� I mumbled. Urd took one of her patented �This-is-going-to-be-good� looks upon her face. I knew that I should have started to sweat and twitch like Ranma after a beating but that didn�t happen. She slid over to me and called up a ball of mana energy in her hands. Skuld eyed her cautiously. �What are you doing?� she demanded. �Just giving loverboy a makeover.� she replied. Before we could sputter out the classic, �we are not lovers!� line from Ranma 1/2, I felt my body change. For once in my life, my equilibrium was off. It was off alright. Off by seventy pounds. My eyesight cleared and soon, I found myself staring into the very image of Sarryn Excalibur. Which, who by the way, was modeled after myself if I lost a lot of weight. My complexion, which was at best, worse than the Bearded Lady�s, had cleared up. I lost the bad eyesight and I actually grew some muscle tone. �Whoa...urg, that�ll wake you up in the morning.� I clenched my hands open and closed. I grinned as my clothing was incredibly loose on my body. I had to punch a new hole in the beltline to keep my jeans from falling off. Urd grinned, looking me over. �Not bad. I think I over did myself this time.� �Say, you acted like you knew us already,� Keiichi said. �Why is that?� I thought for a second. This was going to suck. �I only know the main charcters.� I took a long breath and began. �In my place you are all known as manga charecters in a comic drawn by Kosuke Fujishima. There are several OVA�s and manga episodes. You�re all very popular and frankly I have no idea how you are in my universe. Our universes must of merged or something like that.� I snorted. �...� �...� �...� �...� I grinned. �Don�t worry, I�ll explain everything in detail. Right now, it�s midnight in my home and I�d like to get to sleep.� Skuld jumped up. �I�ll escort you home.� I laughed. �You�d better. Otherwise I�d take forever swiming back.� I left, tossing a �see ya!� behind my back. *** �So you think he�s cute?� Skuld�s head snapped up and she shook it verhemately. �No! Where�d you get that idea?!� Urd grinned. �Well it was the way you were looking at him. He�s quite innocent, isn�t he?� her grin turned evil. �I�d like to �educate� him soon.� . Skuld slammed her mallet over her older sisters head. �DON�T YOU DARE!� She yelled. �IF IT�S ANYONE, IT�LL BE ME!� She stopped suddenly as Urd�s wide grin split her face. �Nice to see you grew up kid.� Urd left, chuckling all the way. This would be fun. A love potion here, a manipulative thought here, and they would be in bed in no time. Unfortunately for Urd, I have been pure for seventeen years and I was not about to loose it within the next few years. She didn�t know this. Skuld did. Skuld sank to her futon and fell asleep in her clothes. Soon, she entered a deep dream state. *** Across the seas, I got ready for the banquet when the doorbell rang. I shouted, �got it!� and ran to the front door. When I opened it my heart stopped. There stood Skuld in a evening dress, smiling shyly. �Um...hi Skuld. Whacha doing here?� I babbled. She smiled slightly wider. �Do you have a date for your banquet?� �Um...nope. Do you want to...� I trailed off. She grinned. �Come with you? Of course. I thought you�d never ask!� I grinned and let her in. �I�ll warm up the van. We�ll be leaving in a few minutes.� *** Across the seas, Urd was saturating her joy in Sake. She finally got her sister together with someone. Too bad that it took some bribery to get her to go. Through her drunken haze, she wondered what would happen AFTER the banquet? *** End Chapter 1 Notes : I intend this to be a Ranma/Akane/Belldandy/Keiichi complex. I�m admitting it, I�m obsessed with the cute goddess. I like Bell and Urd a lot but I like Skuld the most. Why? �Cause we�re practically the same age that�s why. I love the Ah! My Goddess series and that�s why I�m writing this fic. Besides, Ranma 1/2 plots are getting dull. Future plans include Pokemon 1/2, A Twist in Reality, and A Simple Wish Chapter 2. See you there! Revised notes : June 29 1999 I decided to change this one a bit, since the beginning is a bit weak.
