The Love of Clouds and Laptops

(A/N: Hello! I've thought of a new Naruto fanfiction! It was really weird how I thought up of this fanfiction. It was during Italian class yesterday and what triggered me to think up this fanfic? I don't know. Well, I hope you like this story as much as you like my other stories. Oh, and don't worry, My Life With You fans! I'll still work on that story while I do this one! Now I have two stories to work on! Yay, me!)

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto except for my OC, Dani Shields

Enjoy!!

Chapter 1

A Magical Computer?

“Tee, hee! We should go mini golfing every weekend!” a girl with shoulder length wavy blond hair beamed to a girl with waist length black hair.

“Yeah, we should!” the other girl agreed, smiling and giggling.

I’m being ignored…yet again….Typical day…. I thought, glaring at the two laughing girls facing each other while munching onto their sandwiches on low carb bread. I sighed heavily as I grabbed my messenger bag and headed out of the crowded, noisy cafeteria. It’s the same damn thing every day…. I thought again as I scaled up the stairs to the third floor. Screw it. I’ve got some writing to do anyway. Who needs them…?

I finally reached to the library and sat on a chair of a secluded table. I whipped out my laptop from my bag and started typing away. The entire room was mute except for the clicking sounds of my fingertips pressing onto the keys of the keyboard rapidly. It was music to my ears.

My name is Dani Shields, age fifteen and a sophmore in high school. I'm considered one of the geniuses in my class, for my grades were superior than the majority of the students in my grade. I’m pretty short compared to the majority of the students in my school. I’m roughly five feet even, and I’m neither sickly underweight or severely overweight. I’m just a few pounds overweight, I’d say about three or five pounds.

I’m considered to be…average, a plain Jane. I have short chestnut brown hair that reaches to my mid neck. I used to have flowing long hair that reached to my waist, but I got tired of it and it became a burden that it was always in the way, so I chopped it all off to my neck. That was about two years ago and I haven’t grown my hair out since.

A lot of people had complimented me on my eyes, but I don’t see why the color of the sky is anything special. I’m not gorgeous, but I’m not hideous. Back to my previous statement, I’m a plain Jane. I usually wear glasses during class since I don’t really have the best eyesight. For attire, I usually wear a simple pair of jeans, sneakers, and a hoody of any color except for pink, nothing flashy or expensive like the clothes most of my classmates wear.

Why don’t we pull my whole physical appearance description aside, shall we? I’m really not much to look at, so why did I even bother? Anyways, I’m an over achiever. I’ll admit that. Each night, I’d be up in my bedroom sitting on my bed doing homework while my bed swarmed with textbooks and papers. I get straight A’s and I’m one of the top students of my class, quite possibly the whole school.

My dream is to be a writer; both for my love of writing and to have people recognize me and not discard me like a piece of scrap paper. I never had many friends from the start of my educational years and I still don’t now. I get pretty lonely easily, but I try not to show it.

Those two girls I was sitting with earlier during lunch are my friends Jessie and Natalie…or so I thought they were my friends. Jessie was the girl who had the wavy blond hair. I met her in my junior high school years. We used to talk all the time, but recently, she’s been ignoring me for no apparent reason whatsoever. I’m not sure why she is, but what do I care? I don’t find it as much of a loss and on top of it, I didn’t do anything wrong. Jessie pretty much hates everyone for no reason at all, out of spite or jealously. Now, really, how can someone have so much hate in them? Is her life really that horrible? I guess no one will ever know.

The other girl with the black hair was Natalie. I met her in my elementary school years and she and I used to be best friends. We used to be so close because of our common interests until Jessie came into the picture. Natalie talks to me sometimes, but most of the time, she would ignore me even when Jessie wasn’t around. So I pretty much lost two of my only friends. How so? I don’t know nor do I care. Well, that’s enough about my life.

“Dani?” a kind voice whispered gently beside me.

I discontinued typing and looked up, only to find Ms. Dillon, the school librarian. “Oh, hey, Ms. Dillon,” I greeted.

“Hello, Dani,” she smiled. She looked at my laptop screen with curiosity. “Still working on that novel of yours?” she questioned. As a reply, I merely nodded as I continued typing away. “I’m sure you’ll make a splendid novelist,” Ms. Dillon supported. “And I’m sure everyone will recognize you.” Soon after she said that, I stopped typing, saved my story, closed out of Microsoft Word, and shut down my laptop. “Oh! Did I say something that made you—?”

“The bell’s about to ring,” I interrupted, sitting motionlessly in my seat. The school bell interrupted the few seconds of silence, signaling me to get to class. I placed my laptop in my bag and started to walk out of the library. “See ya later, Ms. Dillon,” I called as I walked down the hallway to my next class.

Later that day….

The bell that signaled the end of the school day finally rang. The doors of each classroom flung open as a herd of students stampeded their way out of the school rejoicing the start of a long weekend. As for me, I remained neutral through my walk down the hallway. I really wish these guys would just chill out, I mean, it’s just a three-day weekend…. I thought as I sighed heavily. I had just walked passed the entrance to the library when….

“Hey, Dani! Dani, over here!” an obnoxious voice called from the library. I peeked into the room and groaned forcefully at the sight I saw. It was a boy with spiked up brown hair wearing skater clothes who was sitting on a chair in front of one of the computers. A skateboard was positioned by his feet. It was none other than my annoying next-door neighbor and friend, Roger.

I sighed heavily once again. “Roger….” I greeted rather dully.

“Hey, Dani! You’re smart, aren’t cha! Listen, the computer I was using froze and I was wonderin’ if you can help me out?” Roger asked, pointing to the still computer screen.

I sighed once again as I shook my head in pity. “Honestly, Roger, what am I gonna do with you?” I asked, shoving him out of the seat and sitting down. I did all I could do to fix the computer, but nothing worked. “Hm…that’s a predicament….” I muttered, staring questionably at the computer screen. “What the hell did you do, Roger, go on a pornography site?” I assumed.

“Oh, ha, ha, very funny, Dani….” Roger muttered in sarcasm.

I ignored Roger’s sarcastic remark as I continued to stare at the computer screen. It was odd….Usually, I was able to fix a frozen computer with ease, but now…. “Hm….” I started, squinting a bit. “Dammit!” I cursed, punching the computer screen lightly. At that action, a small spark popped out of the screen. Eventually, a huge jolt of lightning popped out of the screen and covered my entire body. I screeched in agony as I struggled to break free from the lightning, but failed to do so.

“Dani!” Roger hollered, trying to grab me, but got shocked in the process.

“Roger! Roger, help me!” I cried as I suddenly felt the lightning pulling me into the computer screen. I shut my eyes tightly, expecting the worse as I felt myself being pulled into the computer screen….

“Uh…wh-what…?” I started as I drowsily flutter my eyes open. As my eyes finally opened, I looked around and found myself out in the outdoors…of a 2-D animated world. “Wha-what the—?” I stammered as I slowly stood up and looked around. I was standing as the entrance of a village in a cartoon-like world. “How did—? What the—?” I stuttered. Just then, I looked down and was started to see that I had become a cartoon myself. The artwork done on me was beautifully detailed and it was then when I realized…. “Holy shit! I’m in an anime!” I gasped loudly to the heavens above.

(A/N: Yes, I know, the first chapter is very short. Ah, well. Anyways, I'll work on the next chapter as well as chapter 20 of My Life With You. Hope you all enjoyed this story! Read and review, please!)
