What a small potion can do...

[Stefan Bauwens]

Here's a story written by Eternal Mametchi Fan and myself. Enjoy.

On Tamagotchi Planet, Melodytchi was in her room playing her violin.

When suddenly Mametchi came running in.

“Try this,” he said, and he handed her a potion.

“What is it,” Melodytchi asked, putting down her violin.

“Just drink it!”, he exclaimed.

“No! Not before you tell me what it is!”, she protested.

“You just gotta trust me on this.”, Mametchi insisted.

Melodytchi was still reluctant, but she finally gave in.

“I’m not going to die, am I?”

“Of course not, it’ll just make something cool happen!” Mametchi replied.

Melodytchi took the glass with the potion from Mametchi’s hands.

And she cautiously took a sip. It didn’t taste too bad, so she drank the whole glass in a matter of seconds.

“Hmm, tasted like apple juice!”, she responded.

Nothing happened for a while. Then suddenly, Melodytchi started to feel dizzy.

“What did you do? AAAAAAGH!”

Mametchi stepped smiling back as Melodytchi dropped the glass, making it smash on the floor. She started to grow bigger and bigger.

“My glass!”, Mametchi shouted.

“That probably costs as much as a pencil.”

“To heck with your glass. What’s happening with me?!”, she yelled at poor Mametchi.

Before Mametchi could reply… **CRASH** Melodytchi was so big she smashed through the ceiling!

“Isn’t this beautiful?”, Mametchi asked her.

But there was a side effect to his “beautiful” potion… Melodytchi’s eyes glowed red.

“Eh, this isn’t what I had planned”, Mametchi though as he began to worry.

“Could I have made a miscalculation?”

“Must destroy Tamagotchi Town!” Melodytchi declared.

“Oh heck no!”, Mametchi shouted. “You’re getting out of control! The potion is negatively affecting you!”

“Must kill!”, said Melodytchi as she took a giant step through the village.

“Why can’t you stay put… Girls, you’ll never understand them...”, Mametchi mumbled.

Melodytchi grabbed Memetchi, who ignorantly was walking through Tamagotchi Town.

“EEEEK! AAAAAH”, Memetchi fainted.

“Dead already?!”, Melodytchi said in surprise and dropped her. Luckily she fell in the pool outside Tamagotchi School.

Melodytchi quickly grabbed a new victim. This time it was Lovelitchi.

“Aagh. Melodytchi, what happened to you? You’re so big! And your eyes?!”

But Melodytchi didn’t recognise her best friend.

“You must die!” Melodytchi told her, squeezing her tighter.

“Aagh. Melodytchi, you must recognise me. We’re best Tama-Friends! Let me go!”, she yelled.

But the blood-red eyes of Melodytchi proved she didn’t know her. Lovelitchi screamed as Melodytchi threw her away. Such a fall would definitely kill a Tama.

But then, a fluffy pink shape flew over and caught Lovelitchi just in time. It was Hapihapitchi!

“Thanks, Hapihapitchi!” Lovelitchi said and she gave her a chocolate.

“Er, no thanks. I hate those.”

In the meantime Giant Melodytchi had destroyed the school. All the students and teachers were running for their lives as Melodytchi brought down her fists, demolishing Tamagotchi School. Then she stomped it into rubble.

“Who would have thought that a girl could be that strong?”, Mametchi wondered, not caring about much else.

Memetchi, who had regained consciousness and still was wet from the pool ran to Mametchi.

“How did Melodytchi get like this? I have a feeling you’ve got something do with this Professor Failure.”

“Erm.. me?” Mametchi asked, acting surprised?

“Don’t hide it. What must we do to stop her from destroying everything?”

Mametchi scratched his head. “Um, I’m not sure. I might have to make a new potion that will return her to her normal size!”

“Then what are you waiting for? Quick, before she destroys your house too!”, Memetchi exclaimed.

“But I haven’t worked out how to make the potion yet! I’ll need yours and Kuchipatchi’s help to get the right ingredients in time.”

“You can count on it!”, Memetchi replied eager to help.

“Okay,” said Mametchi, and the two of them went off to Kuchipatchi’s house. Kuchipatchi was outside, staring in shock at Melodytchi, who was now ripping up trees.

“Kuchipatchi!” Memetchi called as they reached him.

“What is it-tchi?”, Kuchipatchi replied. He was clearly in shock.

“Mametchi needs our help to find ingredients for a potion to make Melodytchi back to normal. Now quick! Come and help! We’ve got no time to lose!”

Kuchipatchi quickly came out of his house.

“What must we find, Mametchi?”

Mametchi pondered for a moment. “We’ll need three things: The petals of a Patchi Flower, a Guruguru Clover, and most importantly the nails of a snail.”

“The nails of a snail?”, Memetchi and Kuchipatchi both asked.

“I meant, the shell. And the snail mustn’t be living in it anymore too!”, Mametchi replied, calming their worried looks.

And the two went off into the woods to find what Mametchi had asked for, while he went back to his house to get everything else ready.

Meanwhile, Melodytchi was still wreaking havoc in Tamagotchi Town. Now she was at the beach. All the Tamagotchi were shocked when they saw her stomping towards them. They screamed and ran away. Some of the Tamagotchis were still swimming and surfing in the water. Melodytchi stomped her enormous foot in the water with a huge splash, sending the swimmers and surfers everywhere.

“Wimps”, she remarked and she gave a loud growl.

“We’ve got to hurry, Kuchipatchi! We’ve already found the shell of a snail, but we still have to find the other objects!”, Memetchi said, frustrated.

“I’m too hungry too keep looking-tchi!” Kuchipatchi moaned.

Memetchi sighed and began looking around for a Guruguru Clover or a Patchi Flower.

“What’s a Guruguru Clover anyway-tchi?”

“It’s a rare type of clover with swirls patterns on the leaves. Like my hair!” Memetchi explained.

“Oh, but then I just saw one-tchi!”, Kuchipatchi said.

“Where?”

Kuchipatchi lead her to the place where he thought he had seen one.

“Yay, you’re right! See, you can be helpful sometimes after all!”, Memetchi said with joy.

“Quick, all we need is the Patchi Flower. It’s a green kind of flower that can only be found in Patchi Forest.

“But I forgot the way-tchi!”, Kuchipatchi said to Memetchi.

“What?! You’re the only one who knows the way!”

Kuchipatchi looked guilty. “I uh, guess we should have brought a map-tchi.”

“You’ve got to remember something of the road to it?”

“Um, I remember there was a large tree stump with toadstools growing around it-tchi.”

“Hmm, that rings a bell. I think I’ve seen it in the past”, Memetchi said and they continued their search.

Back in the city, giant Melodytchi was getting tired of destroying all the houses, so she decided to sit down. She sat right on Memetchi house, crushing it.

“AAAGH”, Memetchi shouted.

“What is it-tchi?”, asked Kuchipatchi.

“I don’t know. It just feels like something really bad happened to me. Like a part of my heart has vanished.”, she replied.

“I’m not so sure about that-tchi,” Kuchipatchi muttered. “Let’s just keep looking for the Patchi Flower.”

“Yes--Hey, isn’t that the large tree?”, Memetchi said.

“Yes, it is! It’s got mushrooms and everything”, replied Kuchipatchi

“Let’s go then! We shouldn’t be far off!”

Meanwhile Mametchi was in his room, setting everything up that he would need to create the potion. He glanced out the window and he could see the giant Melodytchi, not too far off in the distance. He hoped Memetchi and Kuchipatchi would come back in time.

“This is it! This is Patchi Forest!”, Kuchipatchi exclaimed after they had just passed a sign saying exactly the same.

“The flower can’t be too far off!”, Memetchi said. “Quickly lets find it, because who knows what Giant Melodytchi is up to!”

She was right about worrying about her; Melodytchi had just started to hunt Mametchi down.

“Need to kill!”, she repeatedly shouted.

Mametchi had quickly ran out of his house to distract her, else she might destroy his lab, which was crucial to making the cure to bring Melodytchi back to normal.

Looking around, he spotted a small useless Tama-child just standing there watching him run.

“Get the out of the way! Can’t you see I’m running away from something?!”

“You scared of a girl, Mametchi?”, Imotchi replied.

These kids nowadays! Always knowing everything better. How dare they to speak to the older, much cooler Tama’s like himself.

“You would be scared too if she was chasing you. Look how big she is!” Mametchi retorted.

“Nah, we’re friends. She would never chase me.”

Mametchi was surprised, but realised it must be because Imotchi had a pink bow.

“Well tell her to stop!”, Mametchi yelled(like a girl).

“Haha, you really are a yellow-belly aren’t you. Alright, MELODYTCHI STOP CHASING MAMETCHI!”, she yelled so giant Melodytchi would hear it.

Melodytchi stopped and stared at Imotchi in surprise. The red glow in her eyes faded. “Wh-what…?” she asked, confused.

“STOP CHASING MAMETCHI…”

“Why would I chase Mametchi?”, Melodytchi said calmly as she hypnotizingly looked at Imotchi’s pink bow.

Then she turned her gaze back to Mametchi and the red glow re-appeared instantly.

“STOP IT MELODYTCHI!”, Imotchi said again, making Melodtchi turn again to her.

“I think you better run now!”, Imotchi whispered to Mametchi.

Mametchi listened right away, and quickly was out of sight. He decided that he should go look for Memetchi and Kuchipatchi to see how they were doing.

“We’re never going to find that flower-tchi!”, Kuchipatchi said.

“I know it’s hard Kuchipatchi, but we’ve got to keep on looking.”, Memetchi replied.

But it was already starting to get dark and she knew if they wouldn’t find the Patchi Flower soon, they would have to return home without it.

“Hey, I think I heard something-tchi!”, Kuchipatchi suddenly said.

“I think I heard it too!”, Memetchi replied.

“M.. maybe it’s a w… wild animal that wants to eat us-tchi!”, Kuchipatchi stammered.

“D… don’t think such thoughts, Kuchipatchi! H.. hehe. I’m sure there’s nothing”, Memetchi said, but she too was getting scared.

Then at once Mametchi, who appeared from out of a bush came running towards them.

“Oh, it’s just you! You frightened us, Mametchi!”, Kuchipatchi said.

“And, have you found all the items yet? Melodytchi is really making a mess!”, Mametchi said.

“No, we haven’t! We found the snail shell and the GuruGuru Clover, but we’re still looking for the flower!”, Memetchi explained.

“I’ll help you guys! We really got to hurry, since it’s getting dark.”, Mametchi said.

So the three friends continued the search for the Patchi-Flower together.

But it wasn’t for long that the night appeared.

“We have to go home without it!”, they concluded.

Our three heroes returned to Tamagotchi Town and were surprised to hear no great sounds from giant Melodytchi.

“Where is she?”, Memetchi exclaimed.

“I don’t know. But she can’t be far off”, Mametchi said.

“It’s so dark-tchi. I hope she isn’t hiding-tchi”, Kuchipatchi frightenedly said.

So Mametchi quickly ran to his home to look for a flashlight to go and find Melodytchi. She was a monster, but they couldn’t let her freeze to death.

Mametchi, Memetchi and Kuchipatchi then went searching through the ruins of Tamagotchi Town, hoping to find her.

“Where are all the other Tama’s actually?”, Memetchi asked.

“Before I left to get you guys I told them to go and hide in the Tama-Mountains. They should be fine.”, Mametchi replied.

“That’s good-tchi,” said Kuchipatchi. “I hope my family is okay-tchi!”

“I wouldn’t worry about them. But let’s keep looking for Melodytchi!”, Mametchi urged.

Then suddenly all three of them were shocked by a sound; a weird kind of groan.

“It’s coming from behind that house!”, Memetchi exclaimed.

“I don’t dare to look-tchi”, Kuchipatchi said.

“You better go Mametchi. I’ll stay with Kuchipatchi so he doesn’t get afraid”, Memetchi proposed.

“Hmm. Fine! You guys are just cowards.”

So Mametchi went round the house on his own.

After some silence Kuchipatchi and Memetchi heard him laugh.

“Haha! Quickly guys! It’s all fine. Come here!”, he said.

And so they did and that’s where they saw her: Melodytchi. But she no longer was a giant, she was shrinking back to her normal size, whilst the red glow in her eyes faded.

“The potion stopped working from itself! I should have known this!”, Mametchi noticed.

“Ur, wha--where am I?”, Melodytchi asked. She was back to normal.

“You were a giant! Mametchi had given you a potion, but it had some side-effects. Actually, it didn’t have any positive ones.”, Memetchi explained.

“Oh…”, Melodytchi murmured. “I hope I didn’t do anything wrong…”

“Well, since you were clearly not in control of what you were doing, we’ll forgive you! Haha!’, Mametchi said.

And they all laughed.

The End.
