Chapter 1:
Wonderful scenery, an ordinary day that suddenly turned anything but, that's what you're expecting. This story does not start off that way though. Instead we begin with a storm, a storm is what started it all. Gray clouds covered the sky, lightning struck followed by the inevitable thunder. Gusts of wind whipped buckets of dust off the ground, carrying debris with it. That day Pamela was supposed to be walking home from school, but the poor fifteen year old couldn't see a thing due to the dust, and her light brown hair thrashing around her face. Her father, who worked at her high school as a math teacher, was sick that day and couldn't come to school with her. Luckily, she didn't live that far off from the school so her parents, reluctantly, were allowing her to walk. The thing was, she'd have probably been home already if it hadn't been for that darned storm! She also would've started cursing the winds had it not been for fear of swallowing a mouthful of sand. 'This is just...' she thought, internally growling.
Looking down she realized that she couldn't see the ground. Thinking back, she had noticed, you would notice the loss of pressure beneath your feet, she just never cared to address it as she would've rather ponder on her situation other than the missing rocks and dirt she was previously walking on. Yes, she was weird like that.
Looking up again, the dust and debris spiraled around Pamela in a sort of tornado. 'I'm dreaming,' she mused. That was the only explanation she could think of. The ground can't just disappear like that. You can't just stand up straight in a tornado unharmed. Are there even many tornadoes in the Mojave desert? 'Yes, I must've gotten hit in the head with a bucket or trash can and gotten knocked out and I am now dreaming.' She nodded her head at her own thought as if trying to confirm that was the reason. 'Now, all I have to do is wake up,' she clenched her eyes shut, repeating the last of her thought over and over. She willed herself to wake up.
In that moment the sound of the wind stopped, the thunder and lightning halted, everything went silent. Thinking that she had escaped her dream, Pamela opened her eyes slowly only to see nothing but darkness. Her sky blue eyes widened at the sight and she started shaking slightly. The girl who normally could control her feelings of either sadness or fear couldn't hold back her fright in this moment. Yes, she was scared of the dark, but here there was truly nothing but black. The girl started to think in hysterics. Ideas of how she was going to get home, questions of where she even was, wonders of if this was even a dream all raced through her mind at once. The chubby girl couldn't really handle her breathing in that moment either, so for the first time in her life she just fainted.
Pamela awoke to the sound of birds chirping and the sun shining down upon her. She opened her blue eyes to a sight she didn't quite understand. 'Grass? Trees? What am I doing in a forest?' Looking down to her feet she realized she was wearing something entirely different than that of which she was wearing the moment she fainted. 'Boots? Capris? A shirt that shows my stomach?!' Her eyes widened, 'I'm not fat anymore?!' Her shocked expression grew even more surprised when she looked to her chest, 'My boobs are freaking huge!' Her hand moved to her face. 'Where did all my acne go?!' Her hands moved to her hair. 'When did it grow so long?!' She shot up off the ground. 'What the hell is happening?!'
Pamela took a deep breath to calm herself. "Its okay Pamela, you're just crazy that's all," she murmured quietly to herself. Becoming completely silent after her little breakdown, she heard voices to the far right of her that sounded strangely familiar. Following the voices, they became more and more clear.
"C'mon Luce, just try, please?"
"Aye! You'll never catch a fish if you don't hold a rod, Lucy."
"I don't want of fish, Natsu! I only came because you and Happy wouldn't leave me alone!"
Pamela's mind reeled at their names. "It can't be..."
The teenager hid behind a nearby tree and peeked over at the trio she heard. The first thing she saw was a small blue cat with a green sack upon its back, sitting beside the river. Near it stood a boy with pink spiky hair wearing a scaly-looking scarf, a black waistcoat with gold lining and thick white trousers with black sandals. Standing next to him was a blonde whose hair was in two pigtails wearing a Heart Kruz cropped shirt, a short blue skirt, knee high navy blue socks, and black boots. The girl looked rather angrily at the other two, but in a more playfully annoyed sort of way rather than a serious one. Pamela hurriedly ducked behind the tree and pressed her back against it.
"No way," she breathlessly mumbled, "How is it possible?"
She knew these people, maybe not personally (how would you know fictional characters from an anime you watch?), but she did in fact know who they were. Natsu, Lucy, and Happy of one of the most famous shounen animes, Fairy Tail.
"This has to be a dream!" She whisper-shouted to herself, forgetting that one of them had enhanced hearing.
Deciding to check her suspicions, she turned to peek around the tree again, but found herself face to face with Natsu. He stood there with a protective glare on his face. "Who are you?" he asked her rather intensely. 'Not a dream,' she gulped.
"Uh-" she was cut off.
"Natsu calm down you're scaring her." Lucy came into view slightly smiling in acknowledgement to the stranger in front of her. Natsu's glare was soon replaced by a grin.
"Sorry 'bout that. It's just you don't smell right."
"Nastu!" Lucy whacked his head, "That's rude you know," the celestial mage scolded.
"Sorry, Luce, but it's the truth." He was once again hit in the head.
"I-it's okay…" came Pamela in a small voice, "but to answer your earlier question, I'm Pamela." The teen held out her hand in an attempt to shake hands with her favorite characters in the show.
"Hi, I'm Lucy, and that's Natsu and Happy." The blonde took her hand and shook it in a friendly way.
"Um, I actually already knew that," the words slipped out of the brunette's mouth.
"How did you know that?" Happy questioned in a cute-ish voice.
'Oh crap, that's right, of course they wouldn't know about a whole other world that practically stalks them! Think Pam, think of something that would make sense in this world.'
"I, uh, read a lot of Sorcerer Weekly! Yeah! That's how I know you! You guys are from the Fairy Tail guild right?"
"Yup! It's the best mage guild in all of Fiore!" Natsu exclaimed proudly.
"Yeah, I know, I'm a huge fan of your guild, from what I've read it seems really awesome. I actually came to Magnolia to visit the guild. I have a request."
'I'm lucky I came to this place I'm sure they could help me get back to my world,' she thought, 'but they're going to know I lied to them… My heroes probably won't trust me after this.'
"Oh, wanna come to the guild with us then? You could talk to Master about your request."
Pamela nodded her head and the trio-turned-quartet headed to the guild. The place that she wished so many times to be, but she knew she couldn't stay here. She needed to get home to the real world. That boring place, that was where her family and friends were probably worried for her. Deep down she knew that, but even so, she wanted to stay a bit longer. After all, it's not everyday that you get to be in your favorite anime.
