The Adventures of FridayNext and UniCorn, Part I - The Road Less Travelled By

Once upon a time there were two friends called FridayNext and UniCorn. They were going about their lives wondering if nothing really exciting was ever going to happen in their lives.

One day on a day like any other, they decided to go for a ride on their bikes. FridayNext had gotten a new fancy bike and was anxious to try it out. They drove along talking and laughing, and FridayNext was leading the way. All of a sudden, she sees a little path that she never noticed before…

UniCorn: …and then I was like…
FridayNext: TURN RIGHT!
UniCorn: What? Shit!
FridayNext: Wooaa – watch out!
***CRASH!***
UniCorn: Crap!
FridayNext: *laughing hysterically, but still standing* Where did you go?
UniCorn: *from a nearby bush* Shut up and get me out of here

When UniCorn got out of the bush, she realized that the wheel of her bike had been broken in the crash. They briefly considered placing UniCorn on the back of FridayNext’s bike, but opted against it.

FridayNext: What do you mean you don’t want to?
UniCorn: I’ll scrape my knees because you’re so short and your bikes so tiny
FridayNext: Why are you always so mean to me?
UniCorn: Relax, I know size can be daunting, but I love you

They left their bikes by the side of the path and decided to walk instead. Walking down the path, FridayNext realized that she didn’t recognize anything. As they went on, the path almost disappeared and the trees seemed to narrow around them shutting out the sunlight with their dense crowns. They walked for a while in silence, taking care not to stumble on the roots.

UniCorn: Where are we going?
FridayNext: I don’t know – I’ve never been here before
UniCorn: How reassuring – does that mean that we are lost?
FridayNext: Of course not, we can always follow the path back

At that moment, they both looked back and to their amazement saw that there were no path behind them, only trees and bushes.

FridayNext: Erhm, right, so that means we are lost
UniCorn: Great, Friday. Really great
FridayNext: Come on, we are bound to hit a road at some point, it’s not like we’re in the middle of some fairytale forest or anything
UniCorn: Good, ‘cause I don’t do nature – I’m a city girl all the way

Little did they know that when they decided to turn down that path, it would be the beginning of an adventure unlike any other.
