In Japan, four girls who just graduated High School from Ryoo High sat along a small table in the living room of the Izumi household. The girls were watching the weather channel until the smallest of the four Konata decided to speak up to the other three occupants.
"Man, I can't believe we actually managed to graduate. I mean it's been a few days, but it fells like it's been forever."
Kagami looked slightly annoyed but decided to poke a jab back at the resident otaku. "Really huh? I'm even more surprised that you actually managed to do so at all. Considering how you always copied my homework."With a small pout on her face, Konata replied, "Aww come on Kagami, you know you liked how I always came over."
Knowing her friends were about to possibly get into another argument, Miyuki quickly asked Konata a question. "Isumi-san, I noticed you were reading a book earlier. What was it about?"
With a cat like smirk upon her face, Konata replied, "Oh that, well I had these in my desk drawer for a while. This is my seventh time reading them. Oh and yeah, I nearly forgot to say that these are the Harry Potter books."
Tsukasa spoke up and quickly said, "Aren't those books the story a wizard boy who goes to a wizard school?"
Kagami spoke up and said, "There's a lot more to it then that Tsukasa, but that is the gist of it."
Miyuki turned to the weather channel as the weather lady spoke and turned up the volume to listen in.
"That Umbridge lady pisses me off." Kagami said flatly. "And I haven't even read the books." Konata smirked.
"She pisses everyone off, trust me." She replied.
"Harry's living situation disturbs me." Miyuki said softly.
"Why's that?" Tsukasa asked, tilting her head.
"Think about it...His life couldn't have been easy growing up. He had to do all the chores, his family hated him, he was forced to wear hand-me downs when they very clearly had the money to buy him new clothes...He was living in an abusive household. He should have far more emotional issues than they portray in the books, shouldn't he?"
Crossing her arms as she thought, Konata then spoke up as she turned to Miyuki, "Yeah, your right. Harry would have had a rougher childhood that what are portrayed in the cannon books." Looking quickly and pointing at the TV, Konata said, "Everyone take a look at this. Don't those weather patterns seem a bit off on the map even by the what that the weather lady is saying?"
Kagami looked at the map and replied with her two cents into the conversation. "I may not be a weather expert or anything, but I do know something is really off with the pattern."
"RRRIIIINNNGGG!"
Kagami grabbed her phone from her pocket and quickly answered. "Hello? Mom... Okay we'll get back as quickly as we can." Looking over to her sister and her friends, she quickly said, "Sorry Konata, Miyuki...our mother called and asked us to return as quickly as possible."Looking back at Tsukasa, both sisters got up and proceeded to the door. After putting on their shoes the two of them left the house.
A few moments of hearing nothing but silence, Konata was getting ready to start up another conversation with her remaining guest when she heard a loud crackling ripping sound coming from outside. Both occupants were about to decide on what to do until they heard Tsukasa's voice.
"KAAAAGGGAAAMMMIII!"
Quickly bolting up and running out the door, the girls saw Tsukasa hanging on for dear life on a bike rail several houses down as a electrical rip in space was trying to pull her in. Konata and Miyuki ran down to where their friend was and managed to grab her just as her hands slipped.
Using the bike rail for body support, Konata yelled instructions to Miyuki over the roaring of the rip. "What ever this thing is Miyuki-san, we cant let go of Tsukasa!" Nodding in acknowledgment to her friend's statement Miyuki pulled harder. As soon as it looked liked the girls were about pull their friend to safety, a large piece of loose debris hit them in the back of their legs causing them to loose their footing as they were soon sucked into the rip. Moments later, the rip slowed down and collapsed leaving nothing of it's existence.
At first, falling through the vast, empty void was the most terrifying thing any of them had ever experienced. The speed at which they were falling, the lack of anything around them, the echoes of their voices...
But after a while, it got...boring.
"...So are we just gonna keep falling forever?" Konata asked.
"I'm hungry." Tsukasa said. "Did anyone bring any food?"
"Sorry, I guess none of us brought our "emergency bottomless void" kit." Kagami replied flatly.
"Everyone will be so worried about is..." Miyuki said somberly.
"Whatever happens, I hope we get back soon. My online friends will worry." Konata said calmly.
"HOW CAN YOU CARE ABOUT PEOPLE YOU MET ONLINE AT A TIME LIKE THIS?!" Kagami yelled.
"Oh hey, it's that candy bar I lost last week! It was in my pocket the whole time!" Tsukasa giggled. "That's embarrassing..."
"Mind sharing that?" Konata asked.
"But...I bought it..."
"We're floating in a void, we kinda need to eat at some point." Kagami said.
"Yes...Not dying would be nice." Miyuki agreed. Tsukasa pouted.
"Okay..." She broke off pieces of chocolate and handed them out to her friends.
"Ugh...Mars bar? Really?" Konata asked. "Get a Kit Kat next time."
"I wasn't thinking I'd have to share it..." Tsukasa replied sheepishly.
"Um...girls?" Miyuki said softly.
"Still, always be prepared for stuff like this to happen." Konata replied.
"Girls..."
"In what world are you living in where THIS is something you should prepare for?" Kagami asked flatly.
"Girls...?"
"I miss my Mars bar..." Tsukasa lamented.
"GIRLS!"
"Yeesh, no need to shout, we're all right here." Konata replied.
"Sorry...But look. Is that the other end of the portal? There's a town..." The other three girls turned to see that their friend was correct. They were about to fall through a hole and into someone's yard.
"Oh boy, brace yourselves!" Konata yelled. The girls cringed, then grunted as they finally landed on solid ground and rolled, getting caught up in a pile in the garden.
"Well that was something..." Konata said, shaking dirt out of her hair.
"It was kinda fun once you get around the scary parts..." Tsukasa said.
"Now how will we get back?" Miyuki asked.
Silence.
"Um...Kagami?" Konata called out.
"MMMMMMMMMPH!"
The three girls realized that they were all lying on their friend. Instantly, they jumped off to reveal that Kagami had been unlucky enough to both wind up on the bottom of the pile, and her head had gotten stuck in the dirt of the garden when Konata landed on it.
"Whoops! Sorry Kagami." Konata apologized as she grabbed her friend's arm. A couple of yanks later, Kagami was unstuck from the hole in the ground.
While Konata was being hit in the head by Kagami and Tsukasa who could only wince at seeing the poor abuse of her friend's head, Miyuki got up and looked around at the scenery trying to get a sense of at where they possibly could have fallen from. Moments later she around to see another possible argument, with a sigh she got there attention
"Umm girls? I don't seem to recognize the current location we are at right now."
Kagami looked annoyed and said, "Well of course you wouldn't recognize it Miyuki. We just literally fallen out of something straight out of one of Konata's manga or a SciFi film."
Konata stopped rubbing her head bumps as she heard the comment Kagami had just said and replied, "In other words Kagami, your saying that we traveled to another possible universe. Considering how popular that tends to be in Scifi films and shows, id say that possibility is really high right now."
Looking down at her feet Tsukasa tried to digest what was being said and asked, " Does that mean we don't have a way home? What's going to happen to our parents?"
Staring at Tsukasa, the girls tried to think on what to say. Konata spoke up saying, "I really don't like saying this, but Tsukasa here is right. If we really did go through into another dimension, then does mean we are stuck here."
Adjusting her glasses, Miyuki said, "And as for our parents, I really don't know. More than likely, we would have missing pictures allover Japan."
Kagami sighed in frustration. "I don't know about you guys, but I case you haven't noticed we are in someone's backyard."
As the girls began to think on what to do, they heard a sudden siren from a police car go off. They looked in front of them and saw an officer get out of his car and took a loud speaker and said, "Hey you lot, you four are on private property owned by the late Izumi family. I need you four to come quietly with me to the station."
Blinking at the sudden difference in language then they were used to, the girls had several thoughts going through their heads at that moment.
"Izumi family...? What the heck is going on hear?" Konata thought in confusion. While the other three thought, "Is he speaking English?"
With another sigh, Kagami told them to fallow the officer's instructions and went to him. The officer then called in another car to help transport them to the station. When the other car arrived, the twins went into the second vehicle while Konata and Miyuki went with the first officer.
45 minutes later...
"88 bottles of pop on the wall, 88 bottles of pop..."
"For the last time, Tsukasa, it's BEER." Konata corrected.
"Yeah, but...I like pop better. Beer is gross." Tsukasa replied sheepishly.
"I agree." Miyuki chipped in. "Beer has a very unappealing taste to me..."
"Guys...Need I remind you that we were just ARRESTED?!" Kagami exclaimed.
"Lighten up, Kagami." Konata waved a hand dismissively. "We can explain that it was all a big misunderstanding and be done with it!"
"Oh? And pray tell, what if they don't believe us?"
"Then we're screwed!"
"DON'T ACT SO CASUAL ABOUT IT!"
"Oh...Hello, officer." The other three girls turned at Miyuki's words and saw the officer who had arrested them step into the up a chair the officer sat down and pulled out some files. Opening the files, some records where pulled out. Giving the records to the girls they looked at the picture in it. Each of the girls proceeded to their best imitation of a goldfish at seeing the picture and thought silently to themselves.
'What the hell!? Why is Konata in this record?' Thought Kagami in confusion
'Well, we are in a different universe...so I guess it's possible. But what do I say to this' Thought Konata
'What is this!?' Miyuki thought as her brain nearly got deep fried from panicking
Getting over her shock, Tsukasa thought as she looked at the picture, 'Aww, Kona-chan looks so cute in this picture.'
Letting the girls give him back the picture, the officer placed it back in the file and set it to the side. He opened his mouth to speak getting the girl's attention.
"As you can see, Miss. Izumi here is from a rich family that moved here to England from Japan. She went missing years ago and her just late father has just past several months back leaving her the fortune and the estate. Right now, we are wondering how you three mysterious girls found her inside her own yard."
Knowing her friends couldn't think of anything to say on that, Konata decide to speak up as soon as she saw all eyes on her. "Long story short sir...Well, I found myself in really remote part of Japan that the government doesn't really bother with without any memory of who or where wasfrom. I was found by a nice lady who took care of me. I became friends with these three about a week later after I arrived. Up till now, I was traveling with them after I gained my full memories several months back. We had just arrived in my families estate several moments before you arrived."
The officer thought for a moment and said, "That makes scenes considering there are several places on Earth that do have hidden spots the governments never bothered to map or place on records. It would make sense that Japan would have one as well." With a sigh the officer, asked Konata to remain in the room as he escorted the other three to another room to create official documents for British citizenship with the help from a layer and a case worker.
Several hours later the door opened with three seeing a sleeping Konata with her head on the table drooling. With a light chuckle, the officer proceeded to wake her up and said, "Miss. Izumi, we are going to take you and your friends to your estate. Please follow me."
Another twenty minutes had past until they arrived back at the estate and drove up to the mansion. The officer quickly pulled out a pair of keys and opened the front door. Turning back to Konata, the keys were given to her and said, "Welcome home Miss. Izumi." The officer then drove off.
Turning back to her friends, Konata proceeded to say, "Well lets check it out." With a shrug the other three walked in with her.
The girls were instantly impressed by what they saw.
"Whoa! This is a palace!" Konata said, awe-struck.
"You don't even do anything, and you get to live in a mansion." Kagami said, her shoulders sagging. "You have all the luck, don't you?"
"It's massive..." Miyuiki breathed. "...Um...Girls? Where's Tsukasa?"
"WHEEEEEEE!" The three girls looked over to see Tsukasa was sliding down the banister of the stairs.
"Tsukasa, be careful! You're gonna-"
SMASH!
"...Crash..."
With a frustrated look plastered on her face, Kagami walked over to her sister and helped her up. Turning around to face her friends, Kagami then proceeded to say, "Alright, we're in this mansion now. So let's try to find some rooms to stay in for the night."
With no objections, the group began walking around through the lower floor of the building opening and closing doors that led to other small rooms or in one set case, a basement. Looking around the room that she was in walking past old furniture letting her hand drape over furniture that were covered in the white sheets, Konata turned to her left as she saw a bookshelf filled with books along with several pictures in frames. Taking down one of the pictures she noted that it showed an alternate version of her parents showing off that Kanata's pregnet belly as Konata's dad was grinning like a loon. Putting the picture back where she found it, Konata began walking back to her friends.
Fifteen minutes later the girls huddled back together in the main room as they sat in the old couches and recliners. Miyuki cleared her throat and started the conversation. "Did anyone find the bedrooms anywhere?"
Getting a negative from Kagami, Miyuki looked toward Konata who replied, "Negative Captain! All I found was another empty room filled old furniture covered in those old sheets and an old picture of the alternate versions of my parents."
Sighing as she looked toward Tsukasa for some information. Tsukasa answered, "Well...I haven't found the bedrooms." She then looked somewhat excited as she continued speaking. "But I did find the kitchen. It's missing food though except for some non perishable foods like rice." Tsukasa stopped and thought for a moment and asked, "Um...correct me if I'm wrong...but in most mansions, don't they normally have the bedrooms upstairs?" A silent period past by as the other girls proceeded to register Tsukasa's comment and ultimately face palmed.
"OF ALL STUPID THINGS THAT HAPPED TO US RECENTLY! DID WE REALLY FORGET THAT!?" Kagami yelled at her owned stupidity. Unfortunately the other occupants of the room weren't fairing much better of not thinking of that solution. After calming Kagami down the girls went up the stairs into the upper hallway.
The rooms didn't have too much difference in appearance, so it wasn't really hard to decide who got which room. They all came with a bed, a couple dressers and a bedside table. Simple fare.
"So now what?" Tsukasa asked. Then her stomach grumbled and she blushed. "Um..Can we eat now? I'm hungry..."
"Well, I checked the fridge and cupboards earlier. No one's been living here for a while, so I came up empty." Konata replied with a shrug.
"Awww, what are we gonna eat theeeeen?" Tsukasa whined.
"Relax. Konata's rich now." Kagami replied bitterly. "We can buy groceries..."
"Oh yeah. I'm rich. Forgot about that..."
"THAT IS NOT SOMETHING YOU FORGET!"
"Then it's decided." Miyuki said with a close-eyed smiled. "Let's go grocery shopping!"
Walking back down the stairs and out the front door, the girls proceeded to walk down the side walk until Konata remembered something. "Hey do any of you remember any locations on the way to the police station when we were being taken there?"
Bringing her finger to her lips as she thought, Miyuki suddenly smiled and replied, "Actually Izumi-san, I seem remember an old looking market store on the road just past this block."
While Tsukasa clapped in happiness, Kagami just smiled and said, "I don't know what we would do without you if you weren't here with us Miyuki. But I for one am sure glad you are here."
The girls walked down the block and came across a fork in the road. Miyuki pointed to the left and was about to walk down road when Konata pointed up to the street sign and gasped, "Wha..wha..wha...WHAT!?" Konata exclaimed
"Konata! Calm down! What is going on with you?" asked Kagami who jumped back at Konata's sudden out burst.
Not trusting her own mouth at that moment, Konata just pointed at the street sign causing the other three to do the same. Several moments past as similar but not quite so loud gasps were heard as their own minds heard understood what their own eyes were seeing. Looking down the road, Konata noticed just like in the books she read, Privet Drive was full of nothing but houses that looked exactly the same. Turning back to her group, she said, "Okay this day is really getting weird."
Tsukasa looked between both Kagami and Miyuki and asked, "Should take a quick look? If this is the book's world shouldn't we just check up on Harry?"
Kagami looked at her sister and said, "Unless something happens out of the ordinary, we can't just walk onto that property. That would be trespassing."
Adjusting her glasses, Miyuki replied, "Actually, we can still take a look as we quickly walk the sidewalk as we wouldn't be suspicious."
Sighing in defeat, Kagami agreed. The girls then began walking down the once fictional street.
"This is amazing!" Konata said excitedly as they walked. "I can't believe we're in a fictional world! I wonder if I can get into Dragon Ball Z, or Mortal Kombat or something..."
"Let's NOT do that." Kagami replied flatly. "I'd rather live in a semi-normal fictional universe, thank you very much."
"This place is so boring!" Tsukasa whined. "No variety!"
"Girls... I don't know why...but I have a very bad feeling..." Miyuki said softly.
"Why's that?" Konata asked.
"Let's call it...woman's intuition." Miyuki replied.
"There's nothing going on here, Miyuki, so don't you worry-" Tsukasa was interrupted when a scream sounded through the air.
It was a child's scream. Coming from Number 4 Privet Drive.
"What the...?" Turning to her side, Konata said, "Miyuki-san, I'm really starting to think what you said about the books "Sugar-coating" Harry's life with the Dursleys. We need to get to him now." Quickly turning back to Kagami, Konata then asked her... "Kagami, you need to get to a phone at a store quickly now." Seeing Kagami quickly running off to the opposite road, Konata looked back at Miyuki and Tsukasa and said, "We don't know how bad it's going to be but I want you both keep Harry away from whoever is doing this to him. I'll distract whoever is doing it." Getting a nod from both of them, the trio ran up to the front door.
As Miyuki knocked on the front door, the sounds suddenly stopped. Sounds of someone being shoved into something along with a whimper as something was slammed shut. Sounds of the door being unlocked sounded through the air and was suddenly rudely opened only for a giant overweight walrus to look down at them.
"What do you lots wa..."
Unfortunately for Mr. Dursley, he was quickly interrupted by shout of "HADOKEN!" as a blue fireball blasted him back through the air and into the kitchen table. As Miyuki and Tsukasa were watching in disbelief, Konata looked back toward them and said, "CUPBOARD UNDER STAIRS NOW!" Vernon was getting up and looked at who he perceived to be a small child that had the ability to do magic. He snarled, "MORE OF YOU DAMNED FREAKS?! I WON'T HAVE IT ANY MORE! YOU AND MY FREAK OF A NEPHEW WILL DIE TONIGHT NOW!"
Vernon grabbed a table leg and started swinging it at Konata who managed to dodge the swings and retaliated with a Tatsumaki Senpukyaku (Hurricane Kick) which knocked the table leg out of his hand while doing some damage to his face. Vernon was on a full on rampage and completely berserk as he brought his giant meaty fist back and swung downward only to meet a fist to his jaw as he heard a shout of "SHORYUKEN!" causing him to fall back onto the wooden floor unconscious.
Looking back at the now trio, Konata sighed in relief as they were okay. The four left the house as police sirens and ambulances drove up. The passenger side door of one of the police cruisers reveled Kagami with the same cop from earlier that day arriving to meet them. Several paramedics come up to them and took Harry to the ambulance and quick discovered that he needed medical treatment fast.
Quickly coming to a decision, Konata said to her friends, "Tsukasa...Miyuki-san, I want you both to go with Harry to the hospital and stay there. It may not seem like it, but I got some stuff to get done now."
Tilting her head in confusion, Tsukasa asked, "What stuff?"
With a genuine smile, Konata just replied, "Several things that I need Kagami with me to help me with."
Nodding in acceptance, the duo left with the ambulance leaving the cop, Konata and Kagami standing there as other officers dragged an arrested unconscious Vernon Dursley into another cruiser and drive off.
"I guess it seems I'm am now assigned to you four for your protection after all this crap that happened today. Any way since we might as well get to know one another, I'm officer Ed Flinch at your service. You said you had other things you needed to do right? I'll take you where you need to go after you answer some questions at the station." The trio then left the scene not knowing a cat was watching the whole thing. The cat soon morphed into an elderly woman and left with a loud "CRACK!" leaving the street completely silent for the rest of that night.
