The Dakota Choose Your Own Adventure!

Summary:

Have you ever wanted to be Dakota?
Of course you have!
This is a story that is written by me, but the choices are made by a lovely collection of my dear Dakotas!

Chapter 1

Notes:

Basically the way this story works is that over on my Tumblr The-Autumn-Pixie

https://www.tumblr.com/the-autumn-pixie?source=share

Over there I am running continuous polls to decide what happens next in the story.

If you want to join in on the decision making that please do!

If you just want to read along than that's all good too!

I'm going to put what the choices were at the beginning of each chapter along with what percent of votes each choice got. I'm also going to put what the choices are for the current poll in the notes.

Just a heads up, the chapters will be short and end at slightly awkward places because the end of the chapters aren't really chapters per say, they're just where the next choice needs to be made.

Hope this all makes sense!
And I hope you all enjoy!

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

You wake up early in the morning.

The sun isn't up, but the sky is that light blue colour that means it will be soon. 

It can't be later than five in the morning and you wonder briefly what woke you up- Then you remember it was your turn to sleep on the couch and apparently you fell asleep on the remote, it had been poking into your side all night but apparently it took until now for the discomfort to be bad enough to wake you up.

You toss the remote onto the floor and fall back onto the couch with a sigh.

The bed is way more comfortable.

But you and Cavendish could only afford a place with one bed.

Failing to protect pistachios did not pay well.

So now you simply had to take turns sleeping in the bed.

It was inconvenient to say the least…

Especially because whenever Cavendish asked if he could have an extra night in the bed you can't help but say, ‘sure’.

You've been sleeping out on the couch for almost a full week.

But it's Cavendish, What're you gonna do?

Notes:

Actually.

That's a good question, what are you gonna do?

1. I'm just going back to sleep.

2. I think I'm gonna get a snack and turn on some TV (next poll would decide what to watch)

3. You know what? I'm tired of sleeping on the couch, I'm getting into bed with Cavendish.

4. I don't wanna sleep on the couch, I'm gonna find somewhere else to sleep (next poll would decide where you sleep instead)

5.The remote wasn't the only thing that woke me up. I had another dream about Cavendish dying… I'm just gonna go make sure he's alive. You can take someone's pulse without waking them up, right?

6. I’m already up, maybe I'll start on breakfast for me and Cav. I don't care if it's five am.

7. I wanna go for a walk (next poll would decide destination)

8. I think I'll make a phone call (next poll would decide who you call)

9. I think I'll just look out the window.

10. I'm just gonna start singing ‘I’m going to the zoo’ and see how long it takes to wake up Cavendish.
