So I posted a poll for you guys to decide what I should write next. The most popular was what if the SE crew somehow ended up in a fairy tail! This is what I came up with...
"What are reading Maka-chan?" Tsubaki asked her best friend one day during class.
"It's a book my mama sent me." It was a medium sized leather bound book. It had two gold rings at the top of the spine and in curly gold font said 'A Tale of Many'.
"What's it about?" Liz asked while lazily sitting next to her.
"It is a book full of fairy tales. Its really interesting." Maka smiled up at the older girl and marked her place.
"Fairy tails? I love those!" Patti yelled while stifling loud giggles. Liz raised a well groomed brow at her younger sister, but let the action go.
"That is lovely Maka." Tsubaki clasped her hands in front of her chest and smiled, her midnight blue eyes twinkling.
"Yes, I really enjoy it!"
"What're you going on about?" Soul sat on the other side of her and leaned back, propping his feet up on the desk.
"Just a book Mama sent me." Soul glanced at the brown book and shrugged.
"Alright." Soul rested his hands behind his head and pulled the tan sweatband he always wore down over his eyes.
"Your god has arrived!" When no one looked up Black Star jumped onto the desk in front of them and grabbed Makas book. "What could be more interesting than me?!" Maka stood up and tried reaching for her book.
"Give it back Black Star!" Maka jumped up just as he lifted it out of reach. Black star flipped through a few pages, scanning over the pictures on them.
"Hey! Look at this!" Black Star jumped off the desk and every huddled around him to see what was so interesting. The obnoxious boy pointed to a small picture and the room fell silent. Maka snatched the book away to see what was so special about the page. She looked at the picture and gasped. The small picture was of a vast green landscape. Large trees edged the border and in the center sat a group of people. They were dressed in elegant dresses and well trimmed suits. A tall woman with black hair sitting on a hoarse, a girl with bright green eyes holding the reins, a man with white hair chatting with a pail golden eyed boy, a blue haired boy hanging from one of the trees while a blonde girl looked on and laughed,a brown haired girl by her side.
"This is... us?" Maka dropped the book as her friends looked on. The pages began flipping by some unknown force until they stopped on the first page. It was a picture of a large stone castle. Red banners hung from the sides and a drawbridge sat in the front. A few soldiers were placed around it along with a big garden. A large light emitted from the picture and time seemed to stop. Everyone convered their eyes as a burst of wind surrounded them. Maka felt like she was falling. When she opened her eyes, she was no longer in the classroom. A bright blue sky covered as far as she could see. Gray clouds drifted by as she sat up. The air smelled strange. Kid was the next one to move. He looked around at the trees and open hills that surrounded them.
"Maka, where are we?" His golden eyes landed on their unmoving friends.
"I'm... not sure Kid." She stood up and noticed something red sticking out over the top of one of the hills. Maka stood on her tip toes, but couldn't see much.
"Mmm..." Soul rolled over and clutched his aching head." Wha happened?" Liz began to stir next to him and soon everyone was up.
"Where are we?" Black Star looked around.
"I think, I think we may be in my book." Maka glanced around at her friends shocked faces.
"That's not possible. Right?" Nobody seemed to agree, but they didn't disagree either.
"Well we won't figure anything out standing here." Maka trudged up the hill, but paused at the top. Crisp air whipped at her hair and coat as she looked on at the sight in front of her. A huge castle sat about 50 feet ahead of them. Smoke poured out of the windows and into the sky. People ran from its charred walls,their screams echoing in the wind. Maka ran into the crowd of people,her friends not far behind. Soul reached out for her and no sooner had he grabbed her hand when a burly man shoved her out of the way and into a pile of hay. They both landed in it sending chunks of straw everywhere. When Maka popped her head out of the pile Tsubaki was leaning over, her arm outstretched. Maka grabbed her hand and was heaved up, Black Star did the same for Soul.
"Guys! Over here!" Liz was off to the side ushering them towards an alley.
"What is it?" Liz slapped a hand over Black Stars mouth.
"We need a change in wardrobe. We stick out to much." Everyone looked down at their clothes and then at the people rushing by. Patti looked around and suddenly began pointing a jumping.
"Look sis!" Liz turned to see what was so exciting. Patti was pointing towards a small clothing shop.
"Perfect!" Liz removed her hat, tie, and lipstick. Tsubaki draped a small sack around her shoulders and soon Liz had disappeared into the store. The shop keeper was an old timid man. After about five minutes Liz popped out of the door and waved them over.
"Are you sure there isn't something we can do?" Maka asked while a short woman measured her waist.
"Oh no, it's fine." The man leaned on his cane. When everyone stepped out of their changing rooms the man smiled. "That looks much better." Makas dress was a light beige with a green skirt that stopped mid calf. The puffy sleeves were mid cut and tied at the cuff. Tsubaki and Liz both wore floor length brown dresses, but Tsubakis was darker. Liz had paired hers with a light green sash that was all bunched up while Tsubaki chose a simple white half apron. Patti skipped out in a gray dress. The sleeves were short and her pink skirt only went past her knees. Liz whistled when the boys stepped out. Soul had in dark brown trousers and a white dress shirt that buttoned up the front. He had rolled the sleeves up to his elbows. Black Star was in simple grey pants and a loose green shirt. Kids attire consisted of black pants and a black dress shirt, much like Souls.
"Much better." Liz clapped her hands and gave the man a look." Thanks."
"No, thank you miss." Everyone raised a brow but Liz just brushed it off. She lead them back outside and Soul stepped forward.
"So how'd you get this for free?" She smirked.
"Who said I got it for free. By the way, I hope you guys didn't want your clothes back." Liz took a few steps back as realization set in.
"You sold our clothes?" Tsubaki asked.
"Hey, he said they were 'interesting and foreign'. At least now we don't look like a walking freak show. Oh, here." Liz tossed them all a pair of shoes. The girls brown flats, the boys leather dress shoes. Black Star chose to go bare foot. Something about the shoes being too "old mannish". Maka looked up at the burning castle.
"We need to figure out what is going on, and I have a feeling there is the best place to start." The group began their journey to the castle, determination in their eyes.
Well, it's done. Not sure if I like it or not. What do you guys think? Should I continue it? Please review! ~Sky
