Prologue

Celene lay on her bed, completely relaxed with her tablet in her hand. She had just tapped the YouTube app and was about to search for her favorite series. Her fingers pressed the keys R-W-B-Y and then she pressed search.

A playlist labeled RWBY binge was at the top of the page, and she tapped it. A content sigh left her mouth as the song This will be the day started playing.

An Hour Later...

She lay on the bed, content and comfortable in every way. Especially after re-watching Volumes one and two of RWBY. She looked out her window, to see a golden setting sun on the horizon, and the first stars of night appearing. The warm summer air swirled around her, and a thought occurred. School would be starting again soon, and the thought saddened her. She didn't want the feeling of freedom to end, but it would, inevitably, as it always had.

She swung her legs over the side of the bed and sat up, walking over to her window, and peering out it. The sun was all but gone, and the moon had taken its place in the sky. Next to it sat a single star.

Hmm. Celene thought to herself. Reminds me of something I heard when I was younger. What was it again? Oh right! Wishing upon a star.

As she stared up into the sky, she thought. It wouldn't hurt to at least try. So she got on her knees, and folded her hands into a prayer position. I can't believe I'm doing this... She started whispering "starlight, star bright. First star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight."

She looked back up at the moon and the single star, and wondered what she wanted most in the world, at that moment. Unfortunately, that was also the moment her brain decided to stop, and she didn't have any ideas. It tended to happen a lot with her...

She glanced back at her tablet, which hadn't automatically turned off yet, and it still on YouTube, paused on a scene in RWBY. And an idea popped into her head. She whispered, "I would love to be able to go to Remnant, and meet teams RWBY and JNPR. To interact with them, and become a part of their story."

She stood up, and turned towards the door. Upon walking closer to it, she could hear giggling and other various sounds from downstairs. My two little sisters will be going to bed soon. She remembered, and she suddenly realized how tired she was. As little feet ran up the steps, Celene turned off the lights, and shoved her tablet under her pillow. She put on her sleeping cap, which looked like a cartoon deer head. As blackness replaced all the color in her vision, her eyelids grew heavy. Someone opened the door to the bedroom (probably just one of her sisters), and she drifted off to sleep.

Someone, somewhere must've been listening when Celene made that wish. Because when she woke up, she most certainly wasn't in her room.

She was outside, on a street corner. And it was pretty late at night. Thanks to the streetlights, she was clearly able to observe her surroundings. She took a moment to look at her clothes. She was wearing a gray shirt with black pants. Her hair was as wavy and curly and frizzy as it had always been. There wasn't a mirror, but she could assume that her face and dark brown eyes had stayed the same. The sound of shattering glass drew her attention to a shop further down the street.

She started running in that direction, and nearly tripped on two objects. She picked them up and took a minute to examine them. A book she was reading earlier and her deer mask. She tucked them under arm and turned to run towards the shop. She could see the sign that had the name before she actually reached the shop. It read From Dust 'til Dawn.

Wait... Why was that so familiar... Oh God... No it can't be...

Remnant... But how did she get here. (Echoes in head) "I wish I may, I wish I might." Of course... She realized and face palmed. I can't believe it actually worked... She internally groaned.

"Lesson learned universe." Celene grumbled to herself. The words echoed in her head, a lesson she would never forget.

Be careful what you wish for...
