My Fake World by Mani Gmelin (best fiction novels TXT) 📖

know how to fly a plane!"
"We could learn online. Drive to some place that they would do that if there were humans there, get a plane up in the air, and we could take turns flying the plane and skydiving."
"I think that would be awesome," I agreed. "But it would be dangerous, and I highly doubt this is a dream. I don't want to die."
"We're not gonna die if we know what we're doing..."
"Fine. We'll give it a try. But If I die, and you are still alive, and make it out of this world, you better carry my body out with you and tell them to write on my obituary, "Killed by doing what stupid friend NeeNee told me to when we were in a world with nobody on it but us."
"If I did that, I would sound mental, and it might not fit on the paper."






WE'RE GOING SKYDIVING!

NeeNee and I started going back towards my house, and looked up, "Online courses on how to fly a plane," on my computer once we got there.
A ton of results came up, and I clicked on the one that looked the most professional.
"Lets hope this plan doesn't go down the crapper." NeeNee said.
"What?"
"It's okay if it does though, because if we can't do this, let's, like, go scubadiving."
"Why do all the things you want us to do end with diving? I don't even like regular diving."
"Does it really matter if all my cool ideas end with "diving"?"
"Not really, but still, I don't like diving."
"Whatever. Let's just start training."
I looked at the computer clock. It was 9:58 am.
"We should be done training by..." I looked at the training course information."about two weeks from now."
"Two weeks?!" NeeNee doesn't really like waiting. "That's a long time!"
"Not really. I'd rather train on an online course for two weeks and know how to fly a plane without a "fall, boom, boom...and we're dead"."
"We're not gonna die." NeeNee remarked, though I had a bad feeling that I totally didn't believe that. "If we do take this online course on how to fly a plane, skydiving is easy. You just jump and pull that string before you go "splat" on the ground."
"The possibility of "splatting" is the scariest part to me."
"What about if whichever one of us flying the plane does something wrong and we start falling to our death."
"You seriously had to put that thought in my mind?!"
"Oh. Well, that probably won't happen if we know how to fly the plane. Duh."
"Probably?! I really don't think we should do this NeeNee."
"We'll be fine. Just purchase the damn training course."
I clicked the "purchase" button and it loaded another page. When the page was done loading it said, "Thank you for purchasing, "learn how to drive a plane like a pro" you may now start your training." Then it had a button that said "start training."

"Yes, awesome. Now we can finally skydive." NeeNee said after a grueling week of learning how to drive a plane on our computer.
"But we still haven't actually flown a plane. We could still die."
"Well then, lets go get a plane and fly it. It'll be our practice run."
"A practice run?! It's not a "practice run" if we still have a high possibility of dieing! And where are we going to get a plane anyway? I am NOT letting you drive us to like, the airport to steal a plane."
"It's not stealing if there is nobody on earth. Nobody owns it."
"Fine... I can't believe I'm letting you do this."
NeeNee rubbed her hands together anxiously.
NeeNee said, "I can't believe it either!" then let out one of her extremely high pitch giggles that annoys the crap out of me.

We arrived at the airport to do what I'm still going to call, "steal a plane," thankfully unharmed or dead. I still don't trust NeeNee with driving completely. NeeNee ran in front of me into the airport. I finally caught up with her, and we found the place where all the planes are. We found a little jet and got inside. I made sure that there were parachutes, something that NeeNee would've forgotten to do.
"I can't believe it! You're skydiving first though. I'll fly the plane."
"I don't want to skydive first! I trust myself more with flying the plane."
"You can't even drive a car. Who got us here? That's right, me. I think jumping out of a plane and pulling a string is easier than flying a plane. So how about you jump out first, okay?"
"You can't just tell me what to do! You don't think I can fly a plane better than you? You can't even make scrambled eggs!"
"I've never had to make scrambled eggs before. That's why I never learned how to make them!"
"Oh, so I guess you don't like cooking then? Well then I hate you!"
"Oh no you did not just say what I think you did. Not everyone has to like the same boring stuff that you like!"
"Cooking is not boring! It's also a wonderful skill to have!"
"Well I don't care about cooking, and that's just to bad."
"Fine. What do I care if you like cooking or not?"
"I don't know."
"I don't know either."
"Okay. So I'm still gonna skydive first?"
"Yep."
"Ugh..."
I got in the plane fully and went to the back of it. I put one of the parachute packs on and sat in the seat right by the part of the plane that opens up to jump out of it. I was crossing my fingers and even toes that she wouldn't kill us before I even got to jump out. NeeNee sat in the pilot's seat, since she was the pilot, and buckled her seat belt.
"You better not kill us." I said.
"I won't don't worry."

She started the plane and I held onto my seat. She actually got us in the air, even though we only had like twenty feet of distance between the plane and the ground. She pointed the plane straight up, to a point where if I got up out of my seat and started walking on the floor of the plane, I would've just proved the law of gravity wrong.
"NeeNee!!! Make the plane straight again! We're like 10,000 feet up!" I yelled.
"How do you know we're that high up?"
"Because it looks like it. A LOT."
"Okay. I'll make the plane straight."
NeeNee pulled a lever to make the plane straight again. I could finally breath.
"Thank god! That was really scary!"
"Pssh. No it wasn't."
"Yes it was!"
"Whatever. I'm gonna open the back so you can jump now."
"No, wait! When do I pull the the string again?"
"You pull it when the houses down below look more like tiny squares and less like dots."
NeeNee opened the back of the plane behind me. I looked down and felt nauseus.
"Do I have to jump?"
"If you don't jump, you'll have to fly the plane, and then you'll have an even bigger chance of dieing."
"Okay I'll jump."
"I promise It'll be awesome once you're falling."
"Please don't refer to it as falling."
"Okay. You can jump now."
I looked down again and my stomach felt bad. But I closed my eyes and jumped. I could feel the wind wiping through my hair. I was falling. It was so cool, NeeNee was right. Then I opened my eyes to see if I should pull the string to let the parachute out yet. I opened my eyes and the houses looked like medium sized squares! I pulled the string and nothing happened. Not even a slit jolt upwards. I was really scared. Was I going to die? I pulled it again. Nothing happened.
"Oh my god. I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! I'm to young to die!"
I literally had my whole life play before my eyes. Everything was getting bigger and bigger. I closed my eyes knowing my time had come. Meanwhile, NeeNee was up flying the plane and lost control of it, spiriling towards the ground, like me, except I was falling. Five minutes later, I knew I should've been dead already. Then I opened my eyes, wondering if I was in heaven and I felt nothing when I died because it was so fast. It wasn't all white when I opened my eyes, so It couldn't have been heaven. Don't even think that I went to hell instead. It actually kind of looked like concrete. I turned around onto my back, and someone was leaning over me. It wasn't NeeNee.


I DON'T BELIEVE YOU...

"Ahhhhhhh!!!" I jumped up. "Who the hell are you?!"
"Hey, no need to get all pissed off at me. I didn't do anything."
"Where's NeeNee?!"
I saw someone get out of a screwed up (as in crashed and on fire) plane, and it turned out to be NeeNee.
"I'm right here. And I can't believe I'm not dead. Why aren't you dead Meredith?"
"I have no idea." I answered her. "But I also have no idea who this is." I pointed to the girl who seemed to come out of nowhere.
"You can't die in this world, you know. And why I'm here and no one else is, is because you thought of me. You just don't know me. You must have thought of someone that looked like me, so I appeared." The girl said.
"So, pretty much since I didn't think of anyone, no one is here other than NeeNee and I? And, if I think of someone, they'll appear here out of thin air?"
"Yup. Exactly what I'm saying. Strange, isn't it?"
"Got that right. I can't believe this." NeeNee said.
"Oh, yeah. You can also think of anything and it will appear. And if you think of somewhere you'll be transported there. If you want to have anyone come with you, just hold their hand."
"Just hold their hand like they do in movies? Cool. But how do I know you're telling the truth? And do you have a name?" I asked the girl.
"Of course I don't have a name silly! You didn't think of a name for me, and I'm not someone you know who already has a name." She patted me on my head.
"Wow," NeeNee said once she was by us. "Meredith must've thought of her mom at the same time she thought of you, 'cause your as annoying as her mother."
"Hey! Don't make fun of my mom!" I said. "But yeah," I faced the girl. "I agree with her." I said as I pointed to NeeNee.
"Okay..." said the girl. "By the way, you can name me if you want to Meredith."
"Fine. Your name's Natasha. Can I try out my thinking powers now?"
"Yeah, sure."
"Who do you think I should bring here NeeNee?"
"Definitely Sammy. She would be so excited. But, does it like bring the actual person here? Do they like, disappear from the regular world and everyone gets freaked out 'cause they just pretty much evaporated?"
Before I could say, "I don't know," "Natasha" answered NeeNee.
"Oh, no. I figured you might wonder that. It looks like they just started daydreaming. Even if they're walking. They just stop and stand and stare off into space. Not as bad as evaporating, is it?"
"I guess not." NeeNee said.
"Okay. I'll think about Sammy then." I
