Paper Kids: Paper comes to life












                    Chapter 1: Paper awakens! Surprise, surprise...





Jeffery loved to draw things whenever he has the time, his mother often has to keep her notebook away from him so he doesn't draw on her paper. One day he decided to draw characters for him to play with, his mother was able to cut them out and glue them on printing paper for him. With his new friends he felt like this was going to be fun, yet deep down he wanted them to talk and come alive.

"Jeffery" Said his mother opening the door slowly. "It's dinner time besides its getting late and bedtime will come right after dear, come on your father is waiting for you as well as your big sister." Jeffery left his room heading for the Dining Room downstairs.

After dinner he was in his bed looking at the stars, wondering if asking for a wish would solve everything he seeks. His mother told him that you can't always wish for things to happen, sometimes you have to do the work for the wish to come true. Yet he still believed that a wish could bring anything your way, you just had to believe in it enough for it to work.

"Bright star...bright star up above, please grant a simple wish for me. Don't be shy and hide your light from my sight, all I ask is for one wish and just one for tonight."

Closing his eyes he stood there giving the star the very wish he wanted, yet his mother came in to see him to bed. As she tucked him in he held a marble that was his favorite out of the bunch, he placed it on the stand next to his bed softly before his mother kissed him goodnight.

"Goodnight, Jeffery!" Said his mother as she cut off the light. "Goodnight, mom!" Jeffery slowly closed his eyes and went to sleep as the night went on.

However as he was sleeping something else was happening as well, the marble that was on the nightstand was slowly lifting up into the air. it was starting to glow a soft light from within the marble itself, it was heading towards the paper characters he created two hours ago, A strange dust came from it as it sprinkled like magic powder on the dolls, it didn't stop until it hit the final one softly and with easy. Once the light was over the marble fell to the floor rolling away, it was too dark to look for the marble so it can be only found at day.

It was finally morning and the birds were singing softly, the sun rose as Jeffery was happily still sleeping in his bed. For the most part things were quiet in his room as the sun seeped in, then all of a sudden a tiny voice called for someone to get up.

"Jeffery...Jeffery?" The young boy started to stir around in his bed.

"Jeffery, when are you going to get up?" He opened his eyes to hear the voice clearly.

Looking around Jeffery was trying to find where the voice was coming from, answering back he got a surprise as soon as he looked on his bed.

"Hey, who's calling my name?" He spoke looking around his room.

"I did Jeffery, look down here!" Jeffery looked down to see a paper drawing of his standing by itself.

"W-Who are you?!?!" He said looking surprised. The paper figure smiled as she spoke to Jeffery happily, maybe his wish finally cam true after all.

"Hi, there! My name is June and I'm happy to see you Jeffery, finally we get to meet each other after all." Jeffery scratched his head just a bit.

"But how did you come to life that easily June, my mom told me wishes don't come over night." He spoke still surprised by the events so far.

"Well when you wished upon that star you were holding the marble of life, every paper kid knows that the marble of life is the key to our existence." Jeffery looked around as she spoke swiftly.

"Oh no!" Said, Jeffery. "The marble I always have it with me before I go to bed, if I cant find it then I wont be able to fight the night monsters." June came right beside him to give him a little bit of ease.

"Don't worry, Jeffery!" Said, June "We are going to help you out finding the marble of life in here, trust me my friends are here as well and they want to introduce themselves." Jeffery looked to find more paper kids.

"Hey, Jeff! I'm Amy and Were going to help you with the monsters, the marble of life will scare them away when you have it. There are about six of us with you today, there names are: June, James, Tia, Tommy, and Jane...and I make sixth paper kid here." Jeffery smiled feeling a little bit better.

Suddenly his mother opened the door and Jeffery started to panic a little.

"Jeffery, good morning!" His mother spoke as she opened the door. "Who are you talking to in here? I could have swore I heard a tiny voice a moment ago, anyway how did you sleep?" Jeffery smiled trying to hid his friends from his mother's sight.

"Good morning, mom!" Said, Jeffery. "I slept well last night and I had a good dream too, I was talking to myself if you heard those tiny voices." Jeffery smiled awkwardly as his mother left the room softly.

June popped out from under the bed looking a bit sad, yet Jeffery had good intentions of hiding them under the bed. His mom couldn't know that they were alive for she would freak, so for the moment they had to stay out of her sight.

"Sorry about that June, my mom cant know you guys can talk." Said, Jeffery.

June didn't give an response she simply nodded, for the most part this will be their little secret. Know that he is awakened he can finally look for his marble, however his mother called them quickly ending the search.

"Jeffery, breakfast is ready!" Popping up, Jeffery opened the door to leave the room.

"Ok everybody, please hear me out!" Said, Jeffery. "My mom can't see you exploring the whole house, so if you can try to stay in my room for the time being. If you get bored you can explore in here, but please be careful there are many dangers in my home. Paper Kids anything can hurt you if your not careful, I got to go my mom is coming to check on me...See Ya!" Jeffery left the room quietly.

However it wasn't long before one of the kids wanted to explore, Tia was a very zippy person who sometimes will get herself in trouble.

"Tia, wait!" Said, June. "We aren't supposed to leave the area, remember?" Tia looked back giving a mischievous smile.

"Don't worry, June!" Said, Tia. "Were going to be just fine exploring Jeffery's home, besides we can't find the marble of life if we don't leave the place. Come on the door is slightly cracked so we can push it together, I wonder what we will find out here?" June nodded slowly with a bad feeling in her gut.

The six of them worked together to push open the door, although they weren't strong that were able to push open enough to get out. One by one they left his room looking at the strange world, although just a few hours old they were spunky. They slowly went down the stairs starting their adventures with a bang, however there might be one person that will defiantly freak out.

Jeffery finished breakfast heading back to his room to play, little did he know that his friends were already gone. As he approached his room the door was cracked open, opening the door he found that the paper kids snuck out of his room.

"Oh no!" Said, Jeffery. "Where did they all go to?" Sometimes wishing for things can be both good and bad, its finding them is going to be the toughest part for now.
