Elizabeth West. Named after her grandmother, Eliza Liz Beth, which was her grandmother's maiden name, Elizabeth took pride in her name. She cherished it and always told everyone how she got it. One day, when Elizabeth was 12, her grandmother died. Elizabeth never shared the origin of her name again.
However, this also caused something amazing to happen. Something Elizabeth never could have imagined. Elizabeth was watching her favorite anime, Fairy Tail, and everything was normal. Well, normal for her since her grandmother died. Elizabeth had lived with her parents, but her grandmother and grandfather also lived in her home. Her grandfather moved out after her grandmother died, because the house reminded him of her, so it was deathly quiet except for the voices of the anime characters.
Suddenly, everything stopped. Nothing around her was moving except for the characters on her laptop. Her mother didn't move as she held a plate in her hand under the sink. The sink wasn't moving, either. Her father wasn't turning the pages of the newspaper. He wasn't even blinking. Time had frozen! How? Elizabeth thought. And why? Why is Fairy Tail still running if time is frozen? More importantly...how am I moving? Elizabeth screamed, knowing nobody could hear her.
Slowly, a portal opened up. W-What's going on?
Elizabeth walked through the portal, hoping there would be an answer. The portal then transported her to Fairy Tail! I'm in Fairy Tail?! Elizabeth was both thrilled and horrified to be standing in the middle of the guild hall with a Fairy Tail guild mark! Everyone was saying hello to her, and she almost exploded with joy every time. However, in the world of Fairy Tail, as Elizabeth quickly realized, her name was Hikari. Hikari...something. What was her last name? Eventually, she figured it out. She was Hikari Myst, member of Fairy Tail and Team Natsu! How had she figured it out? Shifting between the Fairy Tail world and the "real" world several times! Yes, "Hikari" had been doing it for years. She also realized that the frozen time kept time from passing in the "real" world, so nobody would know she was gone. Now, she was 15.
One day, Elizabeth went to the guild to find Loke flirting with Lucy.
Hikari rolled her eyes. "Loke, how long are you gonna keep this up?"
"Hey, Hikari, aren't you looking fine today?" Loke had completely ditched Lucy.
"I'm not!" Hikari was about ready to punch him in the face. Being "Hikari" definitely had its downsides.
"Of course you're looking hot today, beautiful. Can I see more of that face tonight?"
"NEVER!"
Both Hikari and Lucy sighed.
"He's so annoying..."
"He is. I wish he would just pick a girl and stop being a flirt. It really gets on my nerves."
Time froze, and that was Hikari's cue. The "episode" was over, and she could go back to the "real" world. Hikari went through the portal and became normal Elizabeth again, not Hikari. She wished she could stay Hikari forever. However, now she was Elizabeth, and she was getting ready for school.
