Hiya. I was reading another story about a girl from another time ending up in this film, so now I'm doing my own take. I have a completely different take on the story, though.

Summary: Lucy Karen Remote is a 1999 teenager, who finds herself in the unreleased film "The Emperor's New Groove". When she finds herself the girl on the end of the line of possible brides, Kuzco chooses her. At her demand, he spends time with her, so Yzma, driven by not only anger at Kuzco but a wish to rule, makes sure to poison Lucy too. How will she change the story?

I walked along the streets briskly, Ipod ear-buds in my ears, listening to Ricky Martin. I was going to meet my best friends at the movie theatre to see the new teen flick, 10 Things I Hate About You. One of my friends, Jessica, had said it was based on a Shakespeare play about some tough chick. I liked the sound of that so me and Jess, plus Anna, Tiffany, Megan, Taylor and Alex were going to meet up and see it.

I was a little worried about leaving my dad at home. I had to, of course, but ever since my mom's death four years ago, he's been depressed. He never even got the slightest bit over it, and was still living in the past. I still missed her, of course, but I didn't self-pity myself for four years.

By the time I got to the cinema, Jess and Alex had arrived. Taylor and Megan turned up at the same time. They were always like mind twins, dressing in a similar way and appearing at the same time. Today they were both in jeans and they both had their hair loose. Megan had light brown hair, and Taylor's hair was much darker, but still nowhere near black. Anna soon made her appearance, but Tiff had picked the wrong time to turn up and appeared one minute before the movie began, so once we got tickets, Coke and sweets, we slipped in as the opening music turned to a Joan Jett song and heroine Kat Stratford made an appearance.

Two hours later, the seven of us walked out of the cinema.

"It's so sweet, that story." sighed Megan, the romantic.

"You know, Luce," said Jess, "Kat is so like you."

I smiled. That was a compliment. "If I'm Kat, you're Mandella." Mandella was Kat's best friend. She was obsessed with Shakespeare.

"But seriously, it's true." Alex agreed. "You're feminist, you're smart, you can dance, and you don't care what you say to anyone."

At the time, Tiff had stopped to look at a brightly coloured movie poster, so we all had a look.

Anna pulled a face. "Disney? Come on, they lost their cult the minute they released Pocahontas."

"You mean Tarzan." Taylor corrected. We'd all been seven or eight when the Disney Renessaince began with The Little Mermaid, but it was nearing 2000 and another dark period, and the new millenium was making Disney hope for a comeback. As little kids, we'd grown up with old stuff, when Walt Disney himself was still alive, because everything else was boring. The best thing that came out after The Jungle Book and before Who Framed Roger Rabbit was The Rescuers and that came way below the standard of their Fifties movies.

This poster was of a new film, The Emperor's New Groove.

"Hey, I saw a trailer of that film recently." Anna said. "My little sister was watching the Disney Channel and they advertised their new animated feature. It said something about a young emperor with an evil advisor, and in most scenes, there was an animal, a llama or something. It looks like something out of Brazil, or somewhere in South America."

I studied the poster. "Yeah, that's a llama with a headdress." I said. There were three other characters in the picture. "Wanna bet that's the advisor?" I asked, pointing to a woman in purple.

"Disney is so colour-predjudiced." laughed Tiff. "It's because purple can symbolize insanity."

I leant against the poster. Or tried to. I started to go right through the poster. My friends looked puzzled, and tried to take action, but like a vaccumm, something on the other side of the poster pulled me right in, and I was standing on the end of a line of girls. I was surprised to see all six of the others looked like my friends with black hair and wearing dresses instead of the shorts and skirts we mostly wore.

A young man with shoulder-length black hair and a golden headress on his head was standing in front of the line. He couldn't have been much older than me, only about eighteen, but still old enough to be more of a man than a boy. He was looking critically at the girl on the other end of the line, who looked like Alex. He went along the line, which seemed to go Alex, Tiff, Megan, Jess, Taylor, Anna, and finally me.

The man looked at each of us, addressing each of my friends' clones with a comment, making them gasp each time, and me gasp too. He was kind of cute, easy on the eyes, but he was really blunt! "Hate your hair, not likely, yikes, yikes, yikes," he said, insulting first Alex, then Tiff, then having the same reaction to Megan and Tay, of course, as well as Jess. Then he looked at the Anna-lookalike. "And, let me guess, you have a great personality."

When he looked away, I cleared my throat pointedly and as a reflex, he glanced back up. "Oh, wait a second!" he said, grinning. "This one is different to all the others!" He stood in front of me, carefully studying my face, which made me feel a little uncomfortable. "Hm, pretty good height for someone like me, strange hairstyle, but I kind of like it." My hair was in a ponytail, and it seemed strange for this time. My friend's doubles all had hair that looked similar to dreadlocks. He tilted his head to one side. "Unusual look, but maybe it's a good thing." he mused out loud. He turned to a short man standing nervously by. "I was just about to ask you if this was the best you could find, since it didn't seem good enough (the girl next to this one seemed the only one up to my lowest standards at least), but this one is actually pretty good. What is her name?"

"Would you prefer to test her voice out first?" the nervous short guy inquired. "That may decide whether you'd choose her." It suddenly occurred to me that I had no idea why I was in this thing. I took in everything again. Then I looked at Headdress Man again. It occurred to me that his headdress was like the poster one on the llama.

No way! I'd just fallen into the world of this new film that hadn't come out yet?
