AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Oh my geez! It's my first story! o.o so, be nice on me? xD I swear it'll get better, so you don't have to worry! My friend and I are writing this, so... there will be some difference in the writing styles... & sorry that we couldn't be the same. _ But yeah. The OC's are based off of us -because we cool like that, bro!-

Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Basket-story and characters. BUT I do own Maria Nite and Sam Moone!


"Maria, Maria, Maria!" someone was yelling.

Maria Nite stirred from her nap and saw her best friend, Sam Moone, jumping on the single bed. "What do you want, Sammie?" she groaned.

"I want to draw more Fruits Basket!" Sam grinned from ear to ear.

It wasn't too long when Maria and Sam were introduced to the anime. They finished watching the whole thing in less than a week, seeing how marvelous it was. Like any other anime fan, they desired to be in the world of the best series: Fruits Basket. They would do anything that involved this anime. They would cosplay, draw different characters, read a lot of fan fictions of their favorite pairings, etc.

Maria grinned at her best friend, or more so, big sister. Sam was her first best friend since elementary school. After Maria's mom perished in a plane crash, she was left with her dad for a while. Her father soon drank, mourning over his wife's demise, and always yelled at Maria for resembling his wife too much. Things got worse, so he left Maria out in the streets. Maria knew that she couldn't just live in the streets, so she made quick decisions. She started working at a bookstore because she loved books, and was able to pay for her own little apartment. After Sam had found out that Maria had been living on her own, she offered her to reside in her little house in the woods. It was then when Maria found out that Sam ran from her home and started living in the small, yet comfy house. Not wanting to 'be a burden,' Maria stuck with her job and promised to pay half of the house payment. It was only later on in the year where both of the girls started to become sister-like and live comfortably in their home.

"Geez, onee-chan. Fine. We can start drawing after you read at least a volume or two of the manga!" Maria laughed when she saw Sam's pouting face.

The black-haired girl was silent for a while, thinking about it, until she muttered out an okay.

After the okay, Maria asked Sam to dress in warm clothes. Maria was already wearing a grey turtleneck, that made her silver eyes and highlights stand out, and brown leggings. When Sam came out, she was in black skinny jeans, a black shirt, and a red hoodie, which blended nicely with her red high-lights.

Maria excitedly grabbed her onee-chan's hand, took one of the Fruits Basket volume and led her outside. "Nee-chan, hold this for a second."

Her big sister nodded and took the volume from her hands. Sam observed as her little copper-haired sister climbed up a ladder from the side of the house.

"Throw the manga up, please!"

Sam did as she was told and saw Maria catch the manga from the top of the roof. She rolled her eyes, knowing that they will be up on the roof, again. It wasn't the first time that they had been on the roof. It was kind of like their little base.

"C'mon up, Sam! It's nice up here!" squealed an eager Maria.

Sighing, the black-haired girl climbed up the ladder and plopped herself by the cheerful girl. She watched as her imouto flip through the pages until she stopped where they left off which was only on the first chapter. Maria had already read the manga, but she wanted to start in the beginning for Sam, who was new to the written series. It was a difference the two had. Maria would read the manga, while Sam would only watch the anime. Sam listened as her imouto read the characters' dialogues out loud. Slowly, her eyes started to droop and she fell fast asleep.

"That was a funny part," Maria was laughing, "right, onee-chan?"

After a while with no response, the copper-haired girl turned to see her big 'sister' fast asleep. Maria giggled, carelessly throwing the manga aside, and poked the sleeping girl. This only made Sam twist and turn to the edge of the roof. Maria stared wide-eyed and tried to get her conscious before she fell.

"Nee-chan! Sam-chan!"

"What do you want?!" Sam snapped as she woke up. She was never good when she was awoken.

Before Maria could warn her, Sam had slipped off the roof. Both girls screamed, waiting for a crash that never came. Maria opened her closed eyes and saw that her sister was nowhere to be seen. She only saw the manga out on the ground, open. Not thinking, she tilted all the way over and fell towards a never-ending ground.


"Oof! Maria, please get off of me!" someone snarled.

Maria opened her eyes to see that she fell on top of Sam. She scurried off, landing on the soft patch of grass, and noticed that something looked different about her nee-chan.

Sam, still being snappy after being awaken, yelled, "What are you staring a-"

She was cut off by a scream. It took her awhile to notice that Maria had anime-like eyes. Suddenly, her eyes started to widen as she saw that her imouto looked like she was from an anime! Maria had taken a notice earlier, so she was just freaking out on the ground.

"Uhm, hello?" an unfamiliar voice called.

The two girls turned their heads to see a boy who seemed around their age and who resembled so much like Yuki Sohma from Fruits Basket.

"Y-Yuki?" Maria stuttered, while Sam just stared at him with a shocked expression.

"Excuse me?" he said.

Oh my gosh, he has his voice! It's fracking Yuki Sohma! Sam thought. This was so much of a shock for her that she started screaming and held onto Maria.

*poof*

A screech rang through Sam's ears. When she went to see what Maria was screaming about, she looked at the reflection from a nearby lake to see a black wolf who was actually herself, Sam.

"Oh my gosh, what the hay," Sam barked, running around in circles, "why am I a wolf? What's going on here? Oh my gosh!"

Maria grabbed Yuki's shirt collar and shook him, "You've got to help us! Please! We don't know what's going o-"

She couldn't finish her sentence because all of a sudden, Maria had turned into a fox.

The wolf stopped in her tracks and silently gawked at the idle fox. As if all of a sudden, both animals were barking and running around. Then, the two crashed into each other, making them both unconscious. Yuki, still not sure what was happening, had the wolf over his right shoulder and the fox on his other. He started trudging back to Shigure's house, hoping for an explanation.


Yayayay~ So... how did I do? Hopefully I did well. I have already some more to this, but... I have to at least start with a chapter, hai? (yes?) ;) Review please! It'll make me a happy panda! Shanks!

P.S. for those also wondering how the two changed, (thanks Athena for reminding me to explain!) the answers will be further in the story... so... yeah. NO FEARS! I know what I'm doing. ;)
