It doesn't take a genius to see who my favorite Whyvillian is. In fact, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't even take an idiot. My favorite Whyvillian is a person who nobody would've expected a couple years ago. We're unlikely friends, I guess you could say. We have hardly anything in common, but we didn't become friends over night. It seems like it's just chemistry more than anything, how else would I be best friends with Dartanian?
I've known Darcy for a very long time. "Darcy" is Dartanian's name, by the way, I hope you made that obvious connection. Anyway, we "met" in about early to mid 2005. I remember because one of my real life friends, Myakia, gave me 1,000 clams to join Club Why for my birthday in January. There, at Club Why, I met Darcy. She was one of those people who amazingly transformed and went from Newbie status to Noble Veteran status very quickly. She nearly won the Halloween contest in 2004, only a few months after she started Whyville. Meanwhile, I had a hard time making it from "Newb" to "N00b" status.
One of the first things a newcomer would learn very quickly about Club Why in the year of 2005 was that the purple ottoman in the corner was reserved. You weren't supposed to sit in it because if you did, you'd get sat on top of, because that was Darcy's spot. Lot's of people had spots that they'd always sit in; Outgoing usually sat on the beanbag and someone else would occupy the red armchair. I don't really remember who else sat where. People like me, however, never got to make nearly as coveted reservations.
Enough with the technical history though. Why do I like Darcy so much? Well, for one, she's just so funny! Once, while we were bored and had nothing to do, a bunch of us decided to go around in someone's scion and abduct some innocent Newbies from the Beach and perform a number of bizarre surgeries. We were very professional, we had nurse hats any everything. Someone decorated their scion to look like an ambulance, it was pretty crazy. But of course, it wouldn't have been memorable without Darcy's facetious commentary.
A while later she introduced me to her friend Allison. But of course, she forgot to tell me it was Allison who was chatting with me on Darcy's account. Eventually I figured that out when she said "You have my permission to marry my friend." So, what better thing to do than to get engaged? So we got engaged, but of course, being the hardcore human rights and feminism activist that she is, she proposed to me. We didn't make any wedding arrangements, being 15 years old an 1800 miles apart, but it was awfully cool being able to say I was engaged to someone in Canada.
Once while in Trivia, Darcy and I were split up in the Greek theater. Having the most radiant love on Whyville, I guess, coolethan defied the laws of physics and sat us next to each other. Everyone was confused but nobody complained. We're like the cutest couple ever, man!
As I grew fonder and fonder of her extraordinary amounts of humility and diligence, it became increasingly apparent that she was the best friend I could ask for. There is no one else in the world like her. She's always the one to hold me to my own standards when I attempt to subdue them. She has a better perception of me than anyone, who else could constantly tolerate my wit, sarcasm, and nonsense? Who else could I make snarky comments to while being affronted by 7th graders? Who else can laugh at a joke, and identify its intent accordingly?
She continued to impress me until she announced she was dumping me in favor of a pirate named Gilligan. As it seems, my Rubik's cube skills were just not on par with his, and I was no longer bore the potential as a future husband in comparison. So we put our hilarious online relationship on halt and . . . I don't really know what happened between Darcy and him but it's probably too embarrassing.
I still respect Darcy more than any of my virtual comrades, because despite the above decision she still has the strongest desire of anyone I know to do what is right and improve her character. Her lack of body piercings, which she always brags about, is a good example of her prudence. I'll always have a special place in my heart for her and hopefully we'll remain best of friends for years to come.
