[ WP ] At some point in their childhood , everyone reads a story that predicts their future . Today , yours starts coming true .

James had his story come true a month or so ago. It was some rendition of “ The Little Engine That Could. ” It was really sweet actually, perseverance won out in the end and James finally got that promotion he deserved. Cammy had hers happen as well. She was swept up by some “ prince charming ” and we haven ’ t heard from her since. “ Happily ever after ” I suppose? Mine hasn ’ t happened yet, and it ’ s getting tedious waiting. Most parents in this day and age monitor what their children read very strictly, since it ’ s common knowledge that one story a kid reads ends up coming true for them in the future. Generally, it ’ s all planned out. Sadly, my parents decided that wasn ’ t how they were going to raise me, which I guess is fair. Both of them were writers, so I got to read whatever drafts, manuscripts, or chapters they churned out, along with the authors they were inspired by. In theory, I could get just about any result out of this; from Poe ’ s “ The Fall of the House of Usher, ” to “ Green Eggs and Ham, ” or even get a sappy love story like “ The Fault in Our Stars. ” Whatever it was, I just wanted it to be over with as soon as possible so I could get on with my life. 
 
 The day it happened felt surreal. I woke up and instantly knew it was coming true. Nervous, ecstatic, and relieved all at once, I slowly got out of bed and ready to face the day. As soon as I stepped out my door, the sky went black, and there was this deafening humming sound. I looked up and saw the underbelly of the most magnificent space cruiser this side of the Kessel Run. It was the Millenium Falcon. This was it. This was my story. The Falcon landed feet from my house. I wanted to run to the ramp as it was descending, but I was too awestruck to move. As the door lowered, I saw David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor ready to greet me as I - wait. The Doctor? Oh no. Han Solo strode into the opening, one arm beckoning me towards the Falcon, the other he wrapped around David ’ s waist. This is what I was worried about. I had to board the ship. I dreaded who else I would find inside the Millennium Falcon. I had to go in though. My story has to come true. Goddamn it. Why did I have that slash fic phase?
