Chapter One
Aurora POV

Well, this sucks. Want to know why? I'm at a sleepover with my four best friends. They're all off playing some game of some sort on XBox. And it's common knowledge that I can't play my way out of a paper bag. Heh. That's a funny expression. I don't get it. But that's not the point at this current moment in time. I guess I should tell you about my friends, huh?

First of all, Xynthe. She is the perverted nutso of the group. She has wavy, shoulder-length brown hair, with slightly faded red streaks and mint green eyes.

Next comes Annie. She has caramel-colored hair that falls to her waist in glossy sheets. Damn her and her perfect hair. She is the fashionista of the gang...whatever that means.

Jade. Jade Jade Jade Jade Jade. What to say...she has dirty blonde hair that reaches just past her shoulder blades, and pale blue eyes. She's tall and smart and funny. That's Miss Perfect for you.

And, last but not least, Kay-Lyn. Kay-Lyn is my cousin. How, we aren't quite sure, but we know we're related. However, we look nothing alike. She has bushy, near-black hair, along with heavily lidded dark eyes. She's a bit taller than me, and wears a red hoodie every day. No excuses.

Now, while they were all off playing their games, I was lying in my sleeping bag, daydreaming of Yuki...he was my absolute favourite character from Fruits Basket. That's actually a spiel between Kayly and myself. We always fight over who's better, Yuki or Kyo? Even though we're kidding, I think we both seriously have issues. Arguing over people who weren't real? Pfft. What idiots were we? But, of course, every story has its twist...
-----------------------
After having drifted into sleep, I dreamed of ponies and rainbows and butterflies...yeah, right.

My dream was actually pretty strange. I was seated atop a gigantic throne, with a golden gown flowing around me, the billowing folds of fabric extending down the many stairs of my throne, until finally reaching the bottom. At the bottom, there was a parade of some sort. There were clowns, ballet-dancing hippos...even a rubber chicken.

"Aurora! Aurora! Let down your skirt!" I heard someone call. Sounded like Yuki.

'What the hell? I'm not undressing for him.' I thought, watching as he began climbing up the skirt of my dress. Well, to make a long story short, it ended with Yuki making it to the top of my Petticoat Mountain and reaching out to me. We embraced, but he didn't transform. That was a pretty great dream. Then, I woke up.Really pathetic ending, I know. But after waking, I gasped. My eyes went wide, and I swear my heart stopped...

"Yuki!" I breathed. This wasn't possible. Not in the least. There is no way that I was standing in front of an anime character. No way at all. I looked down at my hands. I was a drawing. I was a drawing on paper.

"You know my name?...I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't know yours. Do you go to my school? I must have never met you." he replied calmly, fixing me with his violet stare. My mouth fell open.

'Great. I've gone crazy. I'm seeing things. And they're talking to me.' I thought frantically. How did I end up there? Withthe one and only Prince Yuki? I couldn't handle it. I felt dizzy.

"How...how did I get here?"

"I found you in the woods...it was raining, so I brought you inside. I hope you don't mind, I had a friend of mine change your clothes..."

"Tohru?"

"You know her, too?"

"Of course I do!"

Yuki blinked. We were getting nowhere. I looked down. I was wearing some of Yuki's clothes, and my hair was soaking wet.

"Do you really turn into the rat?" I asked, struck by a whim that maybe things weren't the same way as they were in the series. Yuki's mouth fell open.

"How did you...?" he asked, trailing off. I simply smirked. Then, I heard a shout from somewhere else in the house. A shout that sounded an awful lot like Kayly...
