Okay, so I have gotten permission from the original author of 'Real Life' and I am now in the process of re-writing it and continuing it. However, due to FanFiction having strict rules about copy-right and possession, I am continuing this story starting from chapter 3. I highly encourage you to check out the original author; name below. Type in search box.

I woke up to someone prodding me in the side.

"Wake up, Raven! Training starts in about 10 minutes and you're going to be late if you don't get your butt moving! Sensei's going to be mad, by the way, if you don't get up now!" Nya, my roommate, screamed, pulling my arm. I fell to the floor and groaned, not liking being woken up. I look at the clock on our nightstand.

"5:20?! I never wake up this early! Then again, I shouldn't be surprised..." I hissed out angrily, especially because it's so darn early!

"Deal with the time! Just get your butt up and movin'!" Nya sang, pulling me up to my feet. I stumbled, still kinda groggy from sleep, then suddenly realized that if I don't get my butt to the training room, Sensei's gonna hit me on the head with his staff! Don't panic, don't panic...

"Thank you for waking me up, Nya! I really don't look forward to getting hit on the head!" I chirped, quickly getting my dark purple kimono on. I thought about brushing my hair, but decided against it. Who cares how I look before if I'm going to get all sweaty afterwards?

"Gotta run; bye!" I said, running out of our room. I ran to where I was supposed to go, then took a deep breath and jogged outside into the cool and somewhat humid air. I laughed when I saw Jay getting chased around by Kai, Cole getting smacked in the face by Lloyd, and Zane just shaking his head at their display. I walked over to him, glad that there is someone sane I can actually talk to.

"Hello, Zane." I greeted, standing next to him. He turned towards me.

"Greetings, Raven. It's a lovely day, wouldn't you agree?" He greeted in his formal fashion. I chuckled inwardly and nodded.

'He's so formal; it's like he's the only one here with a full sanity bar!' I thought, gazing up. I saw a cloud that looked like a cat and smiled. I like cats.

"BOYS! STOP YOUR ROUGHHOUSING!" I jumped when I heard Sensei Wu shout at Jay and Kai. He then hit them on the head with his staff. They grunted and rubbed their heads with their hands, pouting. I had to stop myself from laughing.

"As you well know," Sensei started, "Raven has mastered spinjitzu yesterday while you were on that mission. Raven, would you care to show them?" He ask-wait no ordered. I shuddered internally at his tone and nervously walked forward. I had butterflies in my stomach; I never really was one for showing off anything in front of an audience.

"Ninja-GO!" I screamed, starting to spin. I closed my eyes, opened them after a couple of seconds, and saw myself in the middle of a dark purple tornado. I was amazed by the colour of it, and kept spinning for a few more seconds. After what I deemed was acceptable, I stopped. I felt a little dizzy, so I slightly stumbled on my way back to where I was standing. The guys clapped and I blushed.

"I loved that colour!" Jay, being the childish person he is, smiled his goofy smile and hugged me for whatever reason. I felt the gazes of Lloyd and Kai burn on me and wondered if they were just glaring at Jay. At that moment, I heard a weird, buzzing sound and realized that was Nya.

"Um, guys? You might want to have a look at this I found..." She nervously said. What could she have found? We rushed to the control room, panicking.

"What did you find!?" Cole, Lloyd, and Sensei demanded once we were there. Nya turned around with a weird looking scroll in her hands. At least, it SEEMED like a scroll... It looked familiar, too... Strange...

"It's a scroll! A creature I don't recognize brought it to me!" She explained. It looked so familiar... So familiar... But I can't place it...

"I can't exactly unroll it... Zane? Help me out?" I was shocked; Nya was an expert at unrolling hard-to-roll scrolls!

She handed it to him, and he tried all he could but could not get it to unroll. He then scanned it to see an explanation for why that is, and his eyes widened.

"It's protected by a strange magical force. It is the same element as me, but I can not get it to open. This is a strange scroll, indeed." He said, his tone betraying his shock. We all stared at him with stunned faces for a whole minute until I finally remembered what looked so familiar about that scroll.

"I think I know how to open it!" I blurted. Everyone's heads whipped towards me, surprised.

"Why did you not say anything before, Raven?" Zane asked me.

"Because I only just remembered. Hand me the scroll." I said. He gave me it. I studied the parchment in which the words were written on closely, slowly tracing the outside of the seal that bound it together. It was blue with an old-looking oak tree in the middle. It had a face; it only had one eye. I knew who this was.

"You see this seal, right?" I asked, showing it to them. They nodded.

"Well, the oak tree in the middle is actually a talking tree." I began. They gasped.

"Wait, really!?" Jay jumped up and down in excitement. I nodded. Zane looked at me with a confused look while everyone else went nuts.

"Raven, I was not aware that trees could talk." He stated. I gave him a curt nod, letting him know I heard over the chaos.

"EVERYBODY, SHUT UP!" I yelled. They snapped their gazes towards me with fearful looks on their faces. I understood their silence; I was not normally like this.

"Okay: So, here's the thing: This scroll is not of this world." I said. They gasped again.

"Raven... You are not lying to us, are you?" Sensei Wu asked. I shook my head and he narrowed his eyes.

"I know the name of the world. Well, it's kind of like ours; it has different 'side-worlds' if you want to put it that way. The one the tree is in is the main world; much like Ninjago. It has, as I said, 'side-worlds,' which are similar to the 16 realms." I explained. They all nodded in understanding.

"But why was the scroll sent here?" Lloyd asked.

"I'm coming to that," I replied. "The main world... I suppose you should know its name...

"Its called Wizard City. Weird, I know, but that is what it is called. The headmaster of the schools there lives in the Commons; the center, or starting point, if you will." I added when they gave me confused faces.

"What is the headmaster's name?" Sensei Wu asked me.

"Ambrose, if I remember correctly." I answered.

"He sounds wise." Zane commented.

"He sounds like he has a pet owl that talks and has a graduation hat on." Kai snorted.

"You're right, actually," I said. He gaped at me.

"He actually has a pet owl that talks and wears a graduation cap?!" Jay was jumping up and down again.

"Yeah. His name is Gamma. He has an odd accent, but he is still understandable." I continued.

"Oooo I like that name..." Nya said.

"Wait. I think I have heard of Gamma. But, Raven, is he not part of an online game? How is a scroll from a game able to come here?" Zane inquired. I gulped.

"I...I don't know..." I responded, stammering.

"But, since it has been able to reach us, it must be something important. It was probably written by Ambrose himself..." I said after a few minutes of uncomfortable silence.

I made sure everyone was watching before I placed it on the center table. I traced the edges of it, softly gliding my fingers over the wrinkled parchment. My hands suddenly glowed an ice-blue, and so did the scroll. I concentrated on pouring my energy into breaking the seal, and I felt weak after I had done it. I slumped on the table, trying to catch my breath. Lloyd pulled a chair over and had me sit down. He then handed me the scroll. It was unsealed. I weakly unrolled it and looked at the writing.

"That writing looks foreign... Can you understand it?" Cole asked over my shoulder.

"Y-Yeah... I can..." I replied.

"It says..

'Dear my faithful student..."

HAHHAHAHAHHAHA CLIFFHANGER! And yes, major hints point to the multiplayer game Wizard101. I know, it may seem cheesy, but I have some plans on the ninja+Raven going on an adventure there ;)

Hope you enjoyed! This took me like an hour so it is probably bad xD

PEACE
