Adalie (Ad-uh-lee)
It means Noble One in French! I really like my name, because it is unique and creative! Just like me! It is short, sweet and rolls off the tongue easily.
22
The perfect age!
Adalie is a very down to earth, level headed, and calm bean. She has a tendency to take everything seriously and doesn't read into anything. You will usually find her curled up in her plush chair with her laptop, typing away at her newest novel. In her books, she writes about worlds that she wishes were real. She molds them to her liking, creates a few characters with her over-active imagination and she's off and running! Adalie is one of those typical shy beans who sits in the corner, all alone, and doesn't go out of her way to make conversation. But, she will talk with people if they start it. Wanting somebody she can relate to, most of her friends are little beans. She enjoys entertaining them with her elaborate tales of adventures!

The day before my little sister, Toffee was due to hatch, I got into a very heated argument with my parents. Being young and stupid, I thought I would teach them a lesson and I ran away! I muttered angrily a vow that I would soon come to regret bitterly... I had earlier come to know about my distant cousin who lived in the far away land of USA!!!, so obviously, guess where I was headed... Still fueled by my petty anger, I hitchhiked my way ALL the way from Paris to the US... (I snuck on board an areoplane... Don't ask -.-) When I got there, I had to search through the vast span of the Big Apple! Which confuses me, because there is not any overly large apples there! *shrugs* But after two long and disgusting months of searching high and low for my cousin, did I finally find him! Apparently, he lived in a pent house in the top of a toothpick building! (you know... The tall, skinny, and pointy ones?) I walked in to the door and was floored by the sheer size of the interior! The vast ceilings opened up to giant crystal chandeliers that glinted and sparkled as the light bounced off in an array of colors. After I picked my jaw up off the floor, I trotted over to the desk, and in my thick French accent and the best English I could muster, I asked her where room 156 was. She looked me over and with a snort she pointed to the ellie vator. I stared in awe at all of the lit buttons, unable to contain myself, I dragged my paws over all of them with a satisfactory resounding click! Little did I know, but because I did that, it took that darn ellie vator about 45 minutes just to climb 10 platforms! After the light beeped at me again, I stepped out of the confounded moving box and peered down the corridor. At the end of the hall, the golden number on the door caught my attention. There it was! Room 156! I eagerly grabbed my pack and bounded up to the door. Bang bang bang! I knocked on the knocker and after about a minute the door is opened by a disheveled looking bean with his glasses askew and his hair was quite rumpled. I was so excited, I blurted "Hi!I'myourcousinwhoyoudon'tevenknowfromParis!Hai!CanIcomestaywithyoucuzIranaway?Ohgood!That'sgreat! And I'm Adalie by the way..." I brushed by him with my bag and set it on a very comfy looking futon in the middle of the room. He stammered "erm... Hey! That's MY bed!" as he stomped over and whisked my bag off of the bed and onto the floor with a resounding plop. And after the rocky start of our meeting, we forged a very strong bond and he showed me his writing ways. I stayed with him in his pent house until my first novel was published. It was a hit! The copies were flying off the shelves so fast the publisher went into overdrive! With the earnings from my book and the bit of money I got from my piggy bank, I had just enough money to escape my new found fame. But where would I go?! I had been debating about going back to see my parents again for years, and to apologize for all of the grief I had caused them by my disappearance. I decided I would by a two way ticket from NYC to Paris. I was so excited! When the day of the departure came, I was nervous and elated. This would be the first time I would go on a plane ride and not be clinging on for dear life to the wheels the whole way! ^u^ The flight attendants treated me like royalty and were at my beck and call. I got to try this funny drink called Champagne that tickled my nose and made me feel silly. When we landed, apparently the press had been notified and there was a crowd waiting at the bottom of the stairs. I shielded my eyes from the flashes of the camera and ran for the back of the crowd. In the back, there was a bean, all grown up, that looked strangely like me! She cocked her head and looked at me quizzically and said "Sissy?" I was astonished, "Toffee?!" "SISSYYYYY!!!!" she squalled as she engulfed me in the biggest hug ever. My eyes teared up at the thought that I had finally been reunited with my sister. I hugged her back and said "I missed you little one!" As I held her close. She wrenched free of my clutches and grabbed my paw as she ran towards the airport. Inside, were my parents! Many tearful hugs were exchanged and apologies as well. My mom gave me a hug and directed me towards the awaiting car. She said "I think you've had enough excitement for one day, un petite mange! <3" We headded home in the car and they said "Now, Adalie, let's hear of your adventures abroad!" -timeskip- So now I am a well-known published author, with over 20 fantasy novels out. I make enough money to support my whole family and then some! So, that's my story... Now what's yours?
Carbon calls it a quirk, I call it an annoyance! When ever I see a button, I must push it! When I go to the toy store, and I see all of the "Try me!" buttons on the toys, I cannot help myself but push them all! (which results in annoyed glares from the other patrons as all of the 40 Elmos on the shelf do the Hokey Pokey each about 1 second behind each other... Then, about an hour after I leave, the alarm clocks in the housewares section go off just as the timers in the cooking section stop...) I SWEAR! I'm not purposely causing trouble! *innocent face, followed by a smirk* Just what ever you do... DO NOT put me in an elevator with other people! All those floor buttons! ouo Hobby shops are another big no no for me! -smirks evilly-
