Sally Acorn
***
What should I start with? Well, let's say... A long time ago... Oh! These βlong agoβ are already sitting in the liver! Tired of it!.. Letβs start our story more simply, because you will understand everything perfectly well. In general terms, far away in distant galaxies, in one of many universes, on one habitable planet, where life flourished and a colony developed, trusting both science and faith in God. In one of the magical families, there lived one girl. She was a chipmunk and her name was Sally. Her parents were Sonia the hedgehog and Mephiles the hedgehog. The daughter was, of course, adopted, and she knew this very well, judging by the fact that she was different in appearance from her parents. Only, unfortunately, even they themselves did not know who her real parents were, because her father accidentally found her all alone a long time ago. They thought that they had lost her, but her real parents were not found, and they decided to keep her. One early morning, when Sally was sixteen years old, she, as usual, decided to sleep longer in bed until her mother came in and started waking her up. β Wake up, sleepyhead! The star has long risen. But the chipmunk did not want to get up and wanted to sleep longer. β Five more minutes, mom. β Sally, youβre late, β mom says slyly and Sally opens her eyes sharply. β What? Oh no! β she abruptly got out of bed and began to take off her purple pajamas, and instead putting on blue boots on her feet - Why didnβt you wake me up earlier? Why didn't the alarm clock ring? - then the chipmunk suspected something β Wait! School ended a long time ago. The alarm didn't go off because I'm on vacation today. Mom, if you were just joking like that, itβs not funny. Mom immediately laughed. β Did you believe me? Yes? β I want to sleep longer, mom. Iβm going back to bed. β her daughter says, and without taking off her shoes, she goes to bed naked. β Sally, just go to bed early every night or youβll sleep out in the evening. You fell asleep at two in the morning yesterday. Why were you staying up late again? β I was reading, β Sally replies and points her finger at the book on the nightstand next to the alarm clock. Mom takes it in her hands and reads the title on the cover out loud. β Is magic a fairy tale or reality? O! Aren't you tired of this nonsense? β This is not nonsense at all, Mom. I have been interested in them since childhood and I know that they exist somewhere. And I will definitely find them, β says Sally. β Fine! Keep dreaming if it interests you so much. Am I against it? By the way, since you don't have to go to school today, will you help me in the restaurant? β Okay, mom. Without arguing with her, the chipmunk gets up and goes to the bathroom, washing her face with cold water to cheer herself up. Afterwards, she goes down the stairs to the kitchen, where the cooks and cleaners were already working. She puts on an apron and takes a notepad with a tray. β Sally, maybe youβll still wear a waitress costume? β asks one of the workers. β No, you know that I donβt like to wear clothes, even though Iβm a girl. Unless I can wear shoes or gloves, otherwise Iβm all covered in fur and not naked at all. Therefore, I have no need to be ashamed of my advantages, if they are already covered with fur. With these explanations, she walked out the door and began taking orders from customers. Most of the clients, which included not only humans, but also other anthropomorphic animals, were very polite and kind to Sally. Without hesitation, we paid in advance and ordered a variety of dishes and drinks from the menu. And someone even asked for a book of reviews and wrote words of praise. Mainly regarding such a good waitress. Considering the beauty of her beautiful body, which she is not shy in front of everyone. And they even wrote as a joke that if only they would hire more people like her to work for them. However, when someone Sally couldnβt stand walked into the restaurant, she immediately frowned. It was the badger Styx, who had been her sworn enemy since school. It was a badger in long jeans and a white jacket. She wore a blue bow on her head and glasses with hexagon-shaped lenses on her nose. She had always, in Sally's opinion, been an arrogant and selfish imagineer. In a bad mood, she approaches her and says: β Well, hello, savage. β A! You again? When will you finally get fired? β When will you stop coming here for lunch. β Sally answers seriously and takes out a notebook. β What do you need? β As always for me. You know it yourself. β Yeah. Dried cockroach soup. β Sally replies, but in fact she writes down her favorite dish in her notebook: βChicken and Potato Soup.β Then she brings her the same order β Nice to choke, Styx! β I love you too. β she mockingly answers her and eats her soup, and the others who heard this mistakenly thought that they were saying this to each other as a joke, after which they did not pay any attention to them and their relationship. And then, she also calmly takes orders and takes them to clients. She even tried to take everything into account so that the client was always satisfied. For example, if someone asked for a hamburger without onions, then they would make a hamburger without onions. But even if someone accidentally added onions, Sally would remove them and eat them herself. So to speak, as a small breakfast. When Sally was taking yet another dirty dish to the sink, where the janitor immediately began washing it with soap, the father himself entered the kitchen through the back door. It was a black and gray hedgehog with emerald eyes and mouth. β Good morning, my princess. β he says to Sally. β Good morning, dad. β she answers him and even hugs him. The cooks are moved by what they see, as always, and continue to work, preparing food β Dad, why canβt we temporarily close our cafe? β In what sense? β I thought that you and mom and I would go or go somewhere on vacation when I had my holidays. All friends at school will go outside the colony, for example to the desert or to one of the poles in the snowy wastelands, skiing or spending the night in tents in the deserts. Even Styx is thinking about going on vacation during the holidays. Why canβt we go somewhere or fly on vacation? β Unfortunately, we donβt like to rest. We like to work. And there is nowhere to go or fly on vacation, because on our planet so far, only our only city has been developed and is being built further. And then, who will we leave our cafe for storage to? Moreover, our cafe is the only one in the city and we have no competitors yet. Therefore, Iβm sorry, but Iβm afraid we wonβt be able to go anywhere outside our city. β It's a pity! β Sally was a little upset and decided to go back to work. But looking at the clock and realizing that it was already two minutes to twelve oβclock, it was time for afternoon tea. The chipmunk took off her apron, took out insoles for shoes on wheels from the bedside table under the stairs and attached them with straps to her boots, making them look like rollers. β Mom, dad, Iβll go for a walk while I have a break. She was already approaching the back door, but her mother stopped her. β Wait, since youβre going for a walk anyway, you canβt deliver one order to one person in Bananas Park in one go. The customer and his girlfriend went out for a picnic. He is a white-skinned guy in a blue cap, a red T-shirt with Batman on his chest and glasses, and his girlfriend has red hair and is black. β she said and handed two boxes to her daughter. One with cherry pie, and the other with ten balls of pizza, similar to koloboki. β Okay, mom. Iβll be quick. β says Sally and takes the boxes in her hands. Going outside, she looks at the star in the sky, which shines on the planet like the sun. Sally smiled and rejoiced at the new beautiful day, despite the fact that she would not go anywhere outside the city during the holidays. Taking her player, she inserts a disc with a song, turns on the music, puts on headphones and, listening to the music while riding on her rollerblades along the road, begins to sing: βͺ So many places βͺ βͺ So much to do βͺ βͺ Oh, how can I βͺ βͺ Be on time everywhere and everywhere? βͺ She turns right at the bend, almost crashing into a red Volga with a mustachioed guy. β What's happened? Hey! β he swore at her, but she did not hear him, she drove on and continued to sing: βͺ I find it a little funny, βͺ βͺ Not at all scary, but βͺ βͺ I want to sing with happine-e-ess! βͺ Having reached the arched bridge over another road, she slides to the left towards the railings and, holding them, looks at her entire beautiful city-colony. βͺ Orders to knock over your-and-and βͺ βͺ I'm not afra-a-aid, βͺ βͺ After all, Iβm faster than the wi-i-ind! βͺ She drove on, ignoring a couple of cars and taxis that honked their horns and nearly crashed into her. And the taxi driver shouted: β HEY, CAUTION!!! βͺ Drive away doubts: βͺ βͺ There's no use for them βͺ βͺ Forget about scientific thoughts! βͺ Continuing to move straight, she rides and dances along the ride. βͺ I know inside βͺ βͺ The light is burning bright, βͺ βͺ Always illuminating the dista-a-ant! βͺ She turns off the road and decides to take a shortcut through an alley with trash cans. At the same time, on the way, she saw how a healthy hooligan grabbed a guy with glasses and lifted him over the sidewalk, and wanted to hit him. She knocked him down on the way and moved on. The bespectacled man himself ran away at that time, and the bully stood up and did not know who to run after, the bespectacled man, or the girl on roller skates who pushed him. βͺ Faster, faster, faster, faster βͺ βͺ Faster, faster, faster, faster βͺ βͺ Faster, faster, faster, faster βͺ βͺ Faster, faster, faster β into the distance! βͺ Having driven through an alley and accidentally crossed the road at a red traffic light, together with two pedestrians. Then, she drove through the arch of the house onto the landing, where she stopped and looked around. She saw how one family, consisting of a mother, father and son, collected their things, got into the car and left. The boy himself, seeing Sally, even waved goodbye to her, and she waved back. βͺ My friends, βͺ βͺ You, as usual, I know, βͺ βͺ Will you answer my call βͺ βͺ After all, we canβt βͺ βͺ Closing your eyes, hiding behind βͺ βͺ A high, strong wa-a-all βͺ βͺ Our friendship is capable βͺ βͺ Change the whole world, βͺ βͺ So sing along with me-e-e! βͺ Then she drove on, turning through the right lane and driving along the road, grabbing the bumper of the truck with her right hand, and continuing to hold two boxes with orders with her left, looking around and continuing to sing: βͺ Drive away doubts βͺ βͺ There is no use for them! βͺ βͺ Go ahead, release the brake-e-es! βͺ βͺ Forget about your fears, βͺ βͺ Don't be afraid to take risks, βͺ βͺ And you can go wherever you wa-a-ant. βͺ She lets go of the truck and turns left towards the stairs. She jumps and, landing on the railing, slides down it, holding her balance with her hands holding the boxes. βͺ Faster, faster, faster, faster βͺ βͺ Faster, faster, faster, faster β into the distance! βͺ Jumping off the railing, she lands on the road and passes three people who jump to the sides. One of them even shouted: β WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING, GOAT!!! But she didnβt hear him and rode further along the path for cyclists and sang: βͺ Take a step sometimes βͺ βͺ Very scary, still, everyone βͺ βͺ Follow your dreams βͺ βͺ It's go-o-oing βͺ βͺ Let's go-o-o! βͺ βͺ O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o βͺ She spots an ice cream van driving by and grabs the bumper, rolling down the road with it. βͺ I'm flying like in a dream, βͺ βͺ I'm so happy βͺ βͺ And I feel like Iβm carrying further and fu-u-urther. βͺ βͺ Faster, faster, faster, faster βͺ βͺ Faster, faster, faster, faster βͺ βͺ Faster, faster, faster, faster βͺ βͺ Faster, faster, faster β into the distance! βͺ Letting go of the ice cream man's bumper, she turns off the road onto the grass and stops there, singing to the end. βͺ I'm rushing faster and faster into the distance! βͺ After passing a couple of trees, she finds the same couple that her mother described to her. A white-skinned man wearing a blue cap and a red T-shirt with Batman on his chest and black glasses with translucent lenses in the shape of the number seven. Lying next to him on a picnic blanket was his girlfriend. She was black, with long, flowing red hair. They apparently communicated about their tastes and interests. β Look, it seems we have an uninvited guest. β says the girl. The man turned around and saw the chipmunk with boxes, raising his right eyebrow. β Hello, did you order cherry pie with pizza? β Sally asks and hands the customer the boxes. He opens them and says: β Yes, we are. Well, you brought us food quickly, β the man replies and takes out a wallet with money, giving the chipmunk payment in the form of one hundred ruble bill. Sally was about to leave, but a black girl stopped her: β Wait! Would you like to try pizza too? β she asks, holding out her hand with one scoop of pizza. β Thank you. β Sally thanks, takes one ball and slowly walks home. On the way, she crossed the road, went out to another part of the park and lay down next to a tree, deciding to rest a little, admire nature and snack on a kolobok-shaped pizza, like an apple.***
She dozed off for half an hour until she heard some sounds of fighting, fighting and flashes. She became curious about what those sounds were and where they were coming from. Sally stood up and walked further into the thicket, where the sounds were coming from. Hiding behind a tree, she saw a living humanoid and some creatures similar to rabbits crossed with mosquitoes fighting on the lawn. Only without wings. An anthropomorphic purple cat fought and fought back. She herself was armed with a long scepter with a month at the end, around which five-pointed stars revolved. On her back she had translucent wings with sparkles in the shape of fire flames, and on her forehead was a red stone that looked like a ruby. She wore a purple sequined jumpsuit and a crown. There were even purple shoes. She fought off monsters that tried to attack and grab her. She beat some with her hands and feet, as well as with the scepter itself, and at others she shot back with shiny fireballs that looked like yellow stars, like the Sun. β Wow! β The chipmunk whispered to herself from what she saw. She couldn't believe her eyes what she just saw. It seemed like it was a real fairy who really fought with real monsters, but it seemed like it was just a spectacle for show. Maybe they're just filming a movie or TV series here? Then, a healthy green werehog hedgehog in a leather jacket came out to fight and tried to hit the fairy. However, the latter jumped back, absorbed the power of light and, with a bright flash, pushed the monster away from itself. β You better leave on good terms, villain, otherwise you will experience the wrath of the fairy of light. β said the cat, looking sternly at the were-hedgehog. She was not at all afraid of him, despite the huge difference in size. β Never! Give me your scepter or I will crush you and tear the wings off your back. β the wolf hedgehog threatened and stretched out his left arm, which was stretched out. He tried to grab the fairy in this way, but the latter jumped and flew up into the sky thanks to its wings. She absorbed some light into her scepter and, waving it, shot something like a fireball at the werehog. He got hit on the head with it and fell to the ground unconscious. β That's cool! β Sally accidentally said out loud and the fairy heard her voice. The chipmunk covered her mouth in fright, and the cat just smiled and waved her hand: β Hello. I assume you heard the sounds of fighting and came to watch me fight? β she asked her and went down to the ground, closer to her, and the chipmunk took a couple of steps back - Donβt be afraid. I won't harm you. β Is it true? Are you an actress? The fairy laughed and said: β No. Although I admit, as a child I dreamed of becoming an actress. β So... You... Are real... β A real fairy? β asked the cat to convince him of the question β Yes. I am real. My name is Blaze. β she greeted and extended her hand. Sally also wanted to introduce herself and offer hers, but she noticed how a hedgehog woke up behind her and ran towards her. β Turn around! β the chipmunk shouted, pointing her finger behind her back and jumped to the side, and Blaze just turned around and didnβt have time to think to dodge before the monster hit her and knocked her to the ground. He approached her and took her scepter. β Finally! β he said with a grin, and Sally picked up stones and began to throw them at the werehog. β Well, put it in its place, monster! The werehog throws down the scepter and approaches the girl threateningly slowly. β Do you really think you can defeat me by throwing stones at me? He extends his right hand, clenched into a fist, but misses and hits the tree, since Sally managed to dodge and even had enough agility to jump to the left when he tried to knock her down with his foot. β Monsters, take the scepter! β the werehog ordered the other mosquito rabbit monsters and they attacked Blaze, grabbing her legs and arms. She tried to fight them off. β Come on, get off me, you creatures! β she snapped. She couldnβt even shoot her light balls from her hands, since they deftly grabbed her arms and even her fingers, not allowing her to resist. β LET HER GO IMMEDIATELY!!! β the chipmunk ordered the hedgehog-beast, and he just grinned. β And if not? What will you do to me? Are you going to throw stones at me? Ha ha ha! I'm afraid, I'm afraid! β he said mockingly. These ridicule infuriated her and she extended her right hand, as if by reflex, and released a fireball from herself, which hit the hedgehog and knocked him to the ground. Sally widened her eyes in surprise and looked at her hand, from which a fireball flew out. And the hand itself was safe and sound. β I? Can I shoot fire? Then suddenly three monsters came at her from behind and tried to grab her, but Sally extended her hand in their direction and suddenly an orange shield formed around her, which, upon contact with the monsters, began to shock them, and then the monsters evaporated. The shield disappeared, and the chipmunk was even more surprised. Blaze, looking at this, was also surprised and even happy, despite the fact that she was now being held tightly. β Holy Sao! So you're not a mortal humanoid? It turns out that you are also a fairy? β she asked her, smiling. β I donβt know. β she quickly answered, took a stick and began to fight off the remaining monsters from the cat to help her free herself. Then she helped her up. β Thank you. β she thanked her, and then saw how the werehog stood up again and ran towards Sally, trying to attack her from behind. This time Blaze tried to save Sally from being hit by her enemy β LOOK OUT!!! The fairy pushed the mortal away and the werehog touched the fairy herself, pressing her to a tree and thereby hurting her, almost breaking her ribs. The cat fell to the ground and groaned in pain, unable to get up. Then, he grabs the chipmunk by the leg and lifts her above him. β Now Iβll break you like a porcelain vase. β werehog threatened. β Go blind you! β Sally answers, pulls herself up to his muzzle and, grabbing him by the head, presses her thumbs on his eyes, pushing them almost into his eye sockets. He screamed in pain, letting go of the girl, and moved back a little, clutching his eyes and almost crying. Sally ran up to Blaze and tried to help her. At that moment the cat was reincarnated. She no longer had wings on her back, and she was now wearing a purple cape with pink stripes, white pants and pink high heels. β Ah!... I can't fight him anymore. I'm too weak right now. You must defeat him yourself. β But how? I donβt know how to use my powers! β explained the chipmunk. She was right, because she did not know before that she herself was a fairy and tried her powers for the first time. β You can! You just need to transform into a fairy first, like me. β But how can I do this? β Just concentrate on your power that is inside you! Just imagine in your head that you can be reincarnated, and then say the word βChardixβ and you will immediately be reincarnated. All your strength will immediately come out. β The power is within me? β Sally didnβt believe it and thought about it. By this time, werehog had almost come to his senses, and by that time the chipmunk looked sternly at the monster and said, looking sternly at him. β Okay, Iβll try. β she answers and, closing her eyes, screams at the top of her lungs. β CHARDIX!!! The chipmunk immediately shone brightly and reincarnated. Now she looked outwardly different. She also developed flame-shaped wings on her back with holes like Swiss cheese. The girl herself was now dressed. Instead of a blue hoop, she was wearing blue shoes, blue and long jeans shorts that reached almost to her knees, a blue sleeveless vest with sequins that did not reach her stomach, and on her hands there were some kind of blue bracelets with rags in the shape of a Chinese dragon's head. Her fingers had beautiful, pink-painted nails, and her red hair wore a golden tiara. The green hedgehog came to his senses and just looking at the chipmunk, who had become a fairy, his eyes bulged. Sally, looking at herself, was surprised, but at the same time she even liked it. She looked sternly at the monster and said: β Get ready, big guy! Now I'll kick your butt! Werehog again picks up the scepter and decides to use it. β I have your power too, you stupid insect. Letβs see how you can fight your own kind, β the were-hedgehog answers, and waving the scepter like a whipping stick or a bamboo stick, he stabbed the empty end of the scepter into the ground. The hedgehog was enveloped in a green aura with sparkles of light. The power of the fairy of light enveloped the monster and absorbed all its power into it. The monster opens its eyes that glow white and, waving its scepter, it shoots a wave of light at the chipmunk. However, she was not afraid of this attack and managed to dodge the shock wave. Werehog swung again and pointed the end of the scepter at the fairy, trying to hit her with glowing balls. Sally dodged the first, second, third, and simply defended herself from the fourth, summoning a protective field for a couple of seconds, extending her right fist. The ball didnβt even have time to reach her and disappeared into the protective field. Then the monster plunged the scepter into the ground again and called upon great power of the power of light. A shock wave immediately flew out of it and should have knocked down the fairy. However, Sally again summoned a protective field and was simply blown back a little. Afterwards, she returned to her place in the battle. β And thatβs all you can do, you stupid monster? β I'm not a stupid monster! My name is Scourge! Scourge the Hedgehog! β he replies rudely, using the scepter like a stick, swinging and trying to just hit. However, the chipmunk flew up and dodged. β You canβt get me here without magic, weakling! β she joked. β Shut up! β Scourge shouted and gathered much more light magic into himself out of anger. Then, he shot a long beam of light at the fairy above. Sally didn't have time to dodge. She just stretched out both hands and began to release her beam, which consisted of fire. She pushed herself as hard as she could and shot the most powerful beam of fire, which was stronger than the beam of light and almost shortened it, reaching the werehog. Werehog also strained a little, and then his eyes immediately became covered with darkness. Black eyes, like empty eye sockets, shot dark rays from his eyes along the scepter. And no, these rays, despite the darkness, did not weaken the power of the scepter, but only strengthened it. Scourge even grinned, seeing that his beam of light was now stronger than the beam of fire and was lengthening. From light comes darkness, and from darkness comes light. The chipmunk widened her eyes and tried to shoot even harder, but her strength was not enough, and the beam of light almost reached her. β I... So... Easily... Won't... β straining even harder at the last moment and gritting her teeth, she was covered in fire. A fiery Chinese dragon came out of her and stood up for her, and she herself opened her eyes and shouted: β GIVE UP!!! The ray of fire became even stronger and began to descend again, overpowering the ray of light from the scepter. He quickly reached the werehog and delivered a blast wave that knocked the monster off his feet. At the same time, he drops the scepter towards the cat. The latter, smiling, looks at the chipmunk. The flame went away from the chipmunk and she sank a little down, looking menacingly at Scourge. One of the mosquito rabbits, bouncing off the tree, jumped over her and bit off a piece of the tip of Sally's hair with its sharp teeth. She didnβt even feel anything and didnβt have time to react. With the obtained piece of hair, he runs to the hand of the werehog, who, slightly weakened, gets to his feet. β We will meet again, nut-loving insect! β he said threateningly, and then he was enveloped in dark smoke and disappeared. β Theyβre finally gone. β Blaze rejoiced, getting to her feet. While she was lying on the ground, she managed to rest a little and gain at least physical strength. At that moment, Sally felt weak and lost consciousness and fell to the ground. Luckily, she wasn't that high and landed on dry grass. She also reincarnated back, taking on her previous appearance. β Oh no! You used too much of your strength. β the cat was afraid for the chipmunk, who ran to her aid. She ran up to it and examined it. She found her passport in her right blue boot. β We urgently need to get you home and put you to bed. I canβt reincarnate again right now. So weβll have to walk. β she added, put the passport back in her shoes and took her in her arms, like a bridegroom. β Hold on! I promise that you will live! And she ran with the chipmunk in her arms from the park to the city.At the same time
The green werehog hedgehog found himself in a kind of pocket dimension consisting of something like smoke. The glowing red eyes of three creatures appeared above. They noticed the hedgehog and turned to him: β Scourge, come forward!... You've let us down again. β It's not my fault, ladies. The scepter was already in my hands, but this nasty squirrel rat appeared and ruined everything. β Was it a humanoid from the colony that lived on that planet? β asked the first voice. β Not a simple humanoid, your villainy. She has dragon fire powers. With her help, she easily dealt with me and my monsters. β The powers of the dragonβs fire?... β asked the second voice. β So that cat isnβt the only one weβre looking for? There is another one who wields great power in the universe. β Scourge, can you describe what that, as you put it... Squirrel looked like? β asked the first voice. β Well, I spoke passionately about the squirrel rat. Out of anger. It was actually a chipmunk. A girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old. Red-haired, naked, wears blue boots, and even without her powers she almost defeated me, because she was very dexterous and evasive. I just tried to grab her or hit her before she had yet transformed into a fairy, but she deftly dodged and jumped away from me... She even grabbed me by the eyes and almost squeezed them out... If only you knew how painful it was for me then . I was even afraid that I would go blind after this. We didnβt agree with you that I would still have to fight with some fairies pretending to be ordinary mortals. β Interesting. β a third voice thought out loud. β I think this girl can be useful to us. We must also find her herself. β Well, don't worry about it! One of my monsters bit off a piece of this girl's hair. β werehog answers, taking the hair itself out of his pocket. β For us it may just be trash, but for a troll-hunter it is valuable evidence. β Fine! Then go back to planet Taraban and find this girl! - said the second voice, and then they said at the same time β Just donβt let us down this time!
