The office is relatively empty for lunch. Fanfic is writing at her desk and Wattpad walks over.

Wattpad: Hey, Fanfic. Me and the girls were planning on going to lunch. Want to come with?

Fanfic: That sentence was a grammatical nightmare. And what do you mean by "The girls"?

Wattpad: Oh, you know, shipper's island. Tumblr, DevA, etc.

Fanfic: Sorry. Someone tried to republish "My Immortal". Have fun, though.

Wattpad: Thanks. *leaves*

Fanfic: Okay, back to work. *typing* *looks at notebook* *typing* *looks at notebook* I guess I could take a short writing break.

A Chance Encounter by Fanfiction Dot Net

Chapter 1

It was Fauna North's first day at the embassy and she could hardly wait. She had been training for this day ever since the sixth grade. She gazed out at the stars passing by her window, knowing very well that they were millions of light years away, and the only things for miles were space junk.

Mrs. North: Are you sure you want to do this?

Fauna: Yes, mom. I'm sure.

Mrs. North: I can turn the ship around, if you want me to. It's only 230,000 miles back to Earth.

Fauna: 230,092 miles to be exact. And I'm fine!

Mrs. North: I know, I just... worry sometimes. Promise you'll text me every night?

Fauna: I promise.

Fauna got out of the car and smiled. Her mother hugged her and departed. Finally, Fauna was ready for her life to begin.

*theme song*

Clev: Cool story bro.

Fanfic: Ah!

Firefox: Sorry, Fanfic. It was my turn to watch Clev and she got away from me. Carry on with your writing.

Fauna walked up to the welcome desk. There was a young teen with bubble gum pink hair sitting at a chair.

Clover: Hi! I'm Clover! I run reception here at Cyberspace embassy. You must be new. I'll call someone to give you a tour. Enjoy your stay!

Fauna: Thanks, Clover.

Clover: *explodes*

Fauna: I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING I SWEAR!

Finxley: Relax. She's a self destructive robot who does that literally all the time. I'll call the Janitors and tech supervisors. They'll patch her back up.

Fauna: Thanks, I guess.

Fauna followed Finxley around the many levels of the embassy. First they stopped at the gaming division, where employees designed challenges for the trainees. Next, they went to the moderator division, who controlled all actions in Cyberspace. Finxley and her boyfriend Croto worked there, as well as Irving Endleton and Saffron. Finally, they reached the place where they stationed new recruits. Finxley left.

A group of people stood in the center.

Fauna: (awkwardly) Hi, uh, I'm Fauna, and, uh, I'm new.

"Oh god, did I really just say that?" Fauna thought. She had never been good at meeting new people, usually scaring them away with her knowledge of fandoms.

She was, surprisingly, accepted quickly into the group. There was Tory, who was obsessed with fandoms and had bright blue hair, as well as Gulliver, who knew the answer to almost any question. He was in love with Yasmine, who wanted very much to be like him, but couldn't live up to his perfection. But she was okay with it, unlike Benjamin, who hated Gulliver's guts. There was also-

Fanfic: (real world) *looks up* Am I introducing too many characters at once?

Facebook: Idk, are you?

Fanfic: Shouldn't you be out taking a selfie or expressing your dumb political opinion or covering up a murder or something?

Facebook: (suddenly fearful) Who told you that?

Fanfic: Tumblr did. Why?

Facebook: I AM GOING TO GET THAT B**** BACK!!!!1!

Twitter: Omg what happened?!?!?!?!

Facebook: Nothing, I just want the universe to leave me alone ;( *they leave*

Fanfic: That was weird. *goes back to writing*

Faith was the absolute worst of the new people Fauna met. She had spray tanned skin, bleached blonde hair, and large bulbous lips like Flappy Bird. She was also enemies with Tory. At the embassy, new recruits have to battle each other before they can be accepted into the army. When Faith had battled her then boyfriend Mitchell, she had murdered him on the spot, or so Tory said. She now was dating a chair.

Fauna: Wow. There's a ton of people here.

Tiana: Honey, you don't know the half of it. There's a meet and greet tonight for all of year 1-3 recruits. It's nothing too serious, just think of it as a school dance.

Tiana was Faith's best friend, and had a very short attention span.

Fauna sheepishly looked at the ground.

Fauna: A school dance? Idk...

Tiana: I'm going. And the rest of us are. This is my offer, take it or leave it.

Fauna: I guess. Couldn't hurt.

Tiana: Awesome!!!! #PARTY!

End of Chapter 1.

Fanfic: *looks at clock* I still have plenty of time.

Chapter 2

Fauna had been stressing about the dance all day. Granted, it wasn't actually a dance, but it may as well be. As a very awkward introvert, she had never gone to any school dances. Well, except that one time...

But that one time would be too much to think about. It was only her first day; she couldn't cry because she was "scared" yet. She walked the halls of the trainee floor, not sure what she was expecting to find.

Fauna: Hey, Tory?

Tory: What is it this time?

Fauna: This is the first time I've ever asked you for something.

Tory: Sorry. It's just that people *cough*Yasmine*cough* often summon me with that. It gets kind of annoying. Anyways, what did you need?

Fauna: I need a dress. I'm always wearing the same boring, grey sweatshirt, and I wanted to look nice for once.

Fanfic: *looks up* Is it grey or gray?

Google: That depends. Are you British or American?

Fanfic: American.

Google: Gray.

Fanfic: What about in Canada?

Google: Hmm... I don't know. I remember Tumblr made a text post a while back saying "grEHy", but that can't be right...

Fanfic: *goes back to writing*

Tory: Sorry, kid. I know almost nothing about the fashion industry, and if I ever act like I do, run, because it isn't me. It's Caitlyn.

Fauna: What?

Tory: Don't ask, it's a long story. But I do know someone who is, like, amazing at sewing and stuff. She lives just down the hall. Come on!

Tory and Fauna walked together down the hall. As they walked, Fauna studied Tory's appearance. It was an odd look. She wasn't especially attractive, but she seemed confident, so that made her features stand out, striking fear into the hearts of men. And in Tory's mind, if you struck fear into the hearts of men, you succeeded.

Tory: We're here. *knocks on door three times*

Penny: *opens door* Hi, Tory!

Even if Tory hadn't told her about it, Fauna would be able to guess Penny was into DIY crafts. There were pencils, thread, and other supplies sticking out of her hair, as well as bundles of fabric in the basket she was holding.

Tory: Hey, Penny. Listen, this is a new recruit here. She wants a dress. Can you do that?

Penny: Sure! What would you like?

Fauna: Something simple. But still aesthetically pleasing.

Penny: Don't worry. What'd you say your name was?

Fauna: Fauna Dorothy North. Thanks. 

*two hours later*

It was almost time for the dance. Fauna was trying on a galaxy patterned, purple and blue dress. It matched both her hair and eye color.

Her hair had only been brown for the first ten years of her life. After that, she had random parts dyed blue and indigo. Her eyes had always been that way, for some odd, inexplicable  reason.

The dress was perfect. Fauna gathered her things and ran to Tory's room.

Tory: Well, look who's Cinderella-ing!

Fauna: Thanks! You look nice too!

Tory: It's trash bags.

Fauna: Oh.

Tory: Now, promise not to run off on me and leave me alone there. I hate it when people leave me at parties.

Fauna: I won't leave you, I promise.

Fauna arrived at the party and was immediately nervous. So many people were there! Gulliver with Yasmine, Faith with Vinnie, and Tiana and Yaron. Fauna stood awkwardly in the corner.

Tory: Fauna, come over here! I want you to meet my friends!

Fauna: *walks over*

Tory: This is Penny,

Penny: Hi!

Tory: Delilah,

Delilah: Just call me DelA.

Tory: Quinto,

Quinto: What's your favorite color?

Tory: Iggy,

Iggy: Your face is my aesthetic. #nofilter

Fauna: Okay...

Tory: And that's it.

Fauna: They're nice.

Tory: Yeah. Now, I'm still not over that season finale. I mean-

Fauna awkwardly third wheeled a group of five people. She knew everything they're talking about and liked everyone, but was just really awkward. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a beautiful girl in a short orange dress.

Fauna: BRB, Tory, okay?

Tory: Okay.

Fauna walked over and tried to talk to the girl.

Fauna: Hey. I'm Fauna. What's your name?

Winifred: Winifred Patterson. Nice to meet you.

Fauna: Are you a first year?

Winifred: Yeah. Actually, yesterday was my first day.

Fauna: Really? Cool. Today was mine.

Winifred: Wow. How do you like it here?

Fauna stared at the girl--Winifred's--face. Her eyes were the same brown as a Hershey kiss, and her hair the color of a cup of coffee just after you poured the cream in. Her hair was also pulled back into a low ponytail, extremely thick with her voluptuous hair. She had a long nose, but unlike most people, it didn't make any of her other features look small. Her lips were covered in a peach colored lip gloss, which shined in the light. Her dress was white and orange, and only covered one shoulder. Fauna thought long and hard about her answer. 

Fauna: It wasn't great (a pause) But it's getting better.

Fauna and Winifred stayed together the rest of the night, talking and laughing. Eventually when the subject turned to fanfiction, they were absorbed back into Tory's group, but still split into their own separate duo. They were inseparable from the minute they met.

Until this happened:

Finxley: *walks onstage* Hello to all new recruits! This is the moment you've all been waiting for, our announcement for which two newbies will have to face off in an epic space battle for dominance!

Tory: *whispers* Sounds like a cliche bxb fanfiction, if you ask me.

Finxley: It is NOT that. Anyways, I will now draw two names from the fish bowl. Let's see... *fishes for a piece of paper* Fauna North!

Fauna was ecstatic. She had been training for this for years! Tory, Penny, Delilah, Iggy, Quinto, and Winifred congratulated her as she walked onstage. Finxley shook her hand and pulled another name.

As Fauna looked over the audience, she started noticing how many of these people she wouldn't mind fighting. In fact, all of them she could take. All of them, except one.

And a fearful look spread across her face as she heard that one name, the one person she could never hurt.

Finxley: Winifred Patterson.

End of chapter 2

Fanfic: *sees a few coworkers coming back to work (not shipper's island)* I can't stop here! Things just got interesting!

Chapter 3

Fauna ran back to her room as soon as the applause swelled. "No. This couldn't be!" she thought. Winifred was her one true friend, and, if all went according to plan, more than that soon. She locked herself in her room and sat against the door, crying.

Someone pounded on the door.

Tory's voice: Hey! Open up! It's me, Tory!

Fauna: Go away.

Tory: No! They need you for the beginning ceremony!

Fauna: Tell them I'm not coming. I want to go home. I wish I had never met any of you.

Tory: That's not the spirit! *door opens*

Fauna: WHAT? How did you get in here?

Tory: I wasn't going to pick your lock, but you forced me to. Now come on!

Fauna awkwardly went along with the rest of the night's events. She couldn't even bare to look at Winifred, who was trying to catch her attention. It had been love at first sight, if such a thing existed. Now, it could possibly end in one killing the other, or at least maiming. No, love was a tricky thing not to be trusted and it had no place in her heart anymore.

Sadly, you can't just hope for love to be gone and have it happen. Fauna succumbed to the same feelings later when Winifred asked if they could walk back to Fauna's room together.

Winifred: You know, I realized something. Just because we're going to be competitors doesn't mean we can't be friends. It's not like they've genetically programmed us to feel a certain way towards each other.

Fauna: Don't say that. It might give Gulliver an idea. But of course we can still be friends!

They hugged, and it was amazing.

The next day they started training. Hand to hand combat, piloting, and training with many other various weapons. It was quite brutal. Winifred and Fauna still met up every night to gossip and talk about their training. Eventually, Tory, Penny, Iggy, and Delilah started shipping it, much to Winifred's distaste. Fauna, though she pretended the opposite, couldn't care less.

A full week after training had begun, Winifred asked Fauna a question.

Winifred: Hey, could I stay the night at your place today? They found some weird space mold in my dorm and need to have it tested.

Fauna: Sure! You can come over to my place any time!

Winifred: Thanks. And who knows, maybe we can have a cliche, middle-school sleepover. Paint our nails, talk about boys...

Fauna: Right. Boys.

Before she knew it, 9:00 was here, and Winifred was at the door. They mostly just watched TV and stuff for the first three hours, but everyone know that in a sleepover, things get crazy after midnight.

Winifred: So, do you like anyone?

Fauna lied.

Fauna: No.

Winifred: I like someone.

Fauna: Who?

Winifred: Well, I have a crush on literally every member of 1D, but I also like Wilkes.

Wilkes was a young, white haired man who looked like a stereotypical anime villain. He thought he knew everything, but his information and knowledge could be easily manipulated. For example, he thought our current Vice President was secretly a unicorn.

Fauna: Seriously? Wilkes?

Winifred: What can I say, I like anime guys. Also, he's like the only hot guy here.

Fauna: There's more to this life than boys.

Winifred: I guess.

*awkward silence*

Winifred: Can I ask you and awkward favor?

Fauna: What?

Winifred: Can I kiss you?

Fauna: (flustered) What? Why? I mean- What?

Winifred: I've never kissed a girl, and I also want to hear if I'm good at kissing before I try to win over Wilkes.

Fanfic: (in real world) Oh god, am I really writing this? Well, none of my friends are back yet, and she isn't either.

Fauna: Okay. Sure. Yup.

They kissed, and it was electric. Fauna's mind was full of every fictional character she'd ever had a crush on as she felt Winifred's soft lips on hers. Winifred's mind, however, was blank.

Winifred pulled her head back and jumped up. She started to collect her things.

Winifred: Oh god oh god oh god... What am I doing? No. There is so many problems with this. First there's Wilkes, what if he thinks I don't like him? What if he thinks I like YOU? No. And also, we're on opposing sides! It was one thing to be friends, but now this... No! Do me a favor and NEVER mention this again. Are we clear?

Fauna was heartbroken, but still managed to keep it together.

Fauna: No problem.

For the next few days, Winifred and Fauna avoided each other. Neither wanted to bring up what had happened. But her friends still kept shipping, screaming "FAUNAFRED! FAUNAFRED!"  when they passed. They felt like the Phan of the embassy. And Fauna perfectly matched the 2012 Dan aesthetic.

Fauna frequently cried herself to sleep during the next few weeks. I know it sounds cliche, but her heart was broken, and she might accidentally kill her best friend and crush in a couple of months. Meanwhile, Winifred had asked out Wilkes, and he'd said yes. But Winifred still lay awake some nights, thinking of how good Fauna's lips had felt on hers, deep down in her heart knowing she'd made a mistake.

End of Chapter 3

Fanfic: Well, I guess this might be getting a little too romantic to be worked on with most of the office here. I'm going to get my lunch. Tumblr?

Tumblr: What?

Fanfic: Hold my calls. And if anyone asks where I am, start crying about your OTP.

Tumblr: Which one? I have so many.

Fanfic: Idk, pick one! I don't want to starve! *leaves*

Tumblr: Watfic it is, then. *overhears gossip* NETFLIX ISN'T SHOWING DOCTOR WHO ANYMORE?! Sorry, gtg for just one second! *runs*

Wattpad: (On answering machine) Hey, Fanfic? The snow's really bad out here, and my car is kind of... stuck. Don't worry, Everyone else took a different car, but I need you to drive me back to work. Also, we need to talk. *end of message*

*empty desk*

Wikipedia: *walking by* *stops* *picks up papers* *reads story* Oh I have GOT to show people this! *runs off*
