Of Hearts and Mirrors
Ch.1- A Fateful Encounter
A/N: I don't own FOP, but I do own the plot. Angela belongs to me, Anti-Cobalt belongs to my friend Supertoilet, and Ryan belongs to my honey Heartlesslayer. You can check out my deviantart page for illustrations I did for this fic :3

Angela glared out her bedroom window, watching her fellow pixies fly around doing their daily things. A look at the house may seem dull and ordinary to a regular person, but this pixie's bedroom was anything but dull and boring. Numerous posters of the famous Anti-Cobalt hung on the ceiling and the walls nearby, clothes were draped over the closet knobs, and stuffed animals littered one of the corners of her bedrooms, offering a cosy seat to their owner. But the thing was, she wasn't happy with the life she was living...she was tired of being dull and boring. She sighed before she thought of an idea.
"I'M TIRED OF STAYING HERE! I'M GONNA RUN AWAY TO FAIRY WORLD!" She pinged away.
Fairy World...
"...Man it's boring today." A young fairy named Ryan sat on the Fairy World sign, wearing a burgundy shirt and black jeans. He was about to fall asleep right out of boredom, when he heard a sound of someone poofing...or pinging out of nowhere. The pixie girl appeared below the Fairy World sign and slowly looked around before she flew towards the city. She didn't see Ryan on the sign, and neither did he see her below him.
"...What was that?" He jumped off the sign, landed on his feet and wondered before he made his way towards the city as well.
"...WOW! It's sooo... colorful!" She said in awe as she looked at the sights around her. Fairies stare at her gray clothes.
Angela: she accidentally bumps into a large fairy, who turns around and cracks his knuckles. "Um...hi?"
"HEY! We don't like dull parasites like you scrapping up our turf!" The fairy growled.
"...Uh...s...sorry." She flew away from him and grumbled under her breath about fairies and bad hygiene. More fairies stared at her and whispered to each other and she passed by. In the meantime, Ryan was still searching.
"What was that sound?" Angela quickly got upset as she realized that even more faires were staring and talking about her.
"...It's like they think I'm a freak!" She didn't notice a truck zooming towards her as she started crossing the road. Ryan turned his head, just in time to see a truck heading towards a pixie girl he never seen before.
"...What the!" He ran in and pushed Angela off of the road, causing them to roll on the grass. As they stopped at the bottom of the hill, she shook her head and blinked before she realized that a fairy was on top of her.
"...W...what? Get off me!" She growled, hitting him in the shoulder. Ryan glared at her before he got off, dusting grass off his shirt.
"Is that how you thank people for saving your life?" He asked in irritation.
"You saved my life? I thought you were the type to let me get run over." Angela snapped back sarcastically.
"Well people should help each other out, whether they're fairy, human or pixie." He shot back, unable to believe she wasn't grateful for saving her life.
"...HA! You just don't want a blemish on your criminal record!" She sneered. Ryan's eyebrows furrowed.
"What criminal record?" Angela scooted away from him.
"Everyone has some type of record." She answered smartly.
"...Well not me, why would I commit a crime in the first place?" He asked. She stared at him for a second, unable to think of any answer.
"...I dunno...but someday you will!" She huffed as she got up and brushed off her clothes.
"Now if you excuse me, I'm off to find a place to stay the night." She said. Ryan snorted.
"Good luck, do you think any fairy here will let you stay the night here in Fairy World?" He smirked.
"Not unless I threaten to take over Fairy World!" The fairy boy burst out laughing at her statement.
"...You?" Angela narrowed her eyes and pushed him to the side with her cell phone angrily.
"...You just watch, fairy. You'll be a pixie by the end of the day." She threatened as she started walking away. Ryan scoffed at her and folded his arms.
"Pfft, yeah right...no pixie can turn me into one of them, I'm too stubborn to be one, so what makes you think you can do anything about it?" Angela turned back coldly.
"I'm different." The fairy raised an eyebrow.
"How?" The pixie girl walked back to him.
"First of all, you don't need to know, and second, think of it as meeting your future dictator." She said haughtily.
"Lady, if you couldn't tell where you were going, you would make one lousy dictator." Ryan pointed out. She gritted her teeth.
"Look fairy! Anything my brother and HP can do, I can do better!" She took off from the ground, but managed to run smack into a lamppost.
"You really need help...uh, what's your name lady?" Angela rubbed her nose and scowled.
"None of your business, pal."
"...Oh, sorry if I offended you there, your future royal highness." Ryan said sarcastically, mocking her by bowing. She huffed and started walking down the street, though she had no clue where to go. He followed her shaking his head in pity.
"...There you go again, you don't have a clue where you're going."
"...I...I do! I'm uh...heading towards F.U.N!"
"...Right...do you even know where that is?" He asked as he caught up to her. She pointed somewhere and laughed triumphantly.
"There!" She was pointing at a familiar white building with a very colorful sign.
"...That's the Fairy World SPA." He said flatly. She glanced at him before she snootily walked ahead of him.
"...That's where I was heading...I need a massage anyway." After a few seconds of trying to ignore him, she looked back.
"...And why are you following me? Are you a stalker!"
"Lady, you're gonna get yourself killed out here by yourself, so I figured I'll come along since I got nothing better to do. ...Besides, I can't wait to see you blow it." He smirked.
"...I don't need you!" She yelled, pointing her phone at him like a sword.
"Oh I think you will lady." He said, pointing the cell antenna away from him. Angela glared at him for a few minutes before she finally made a run. Ryan sighed, and followed her but doesn't make an effort to catch up
"...GO AWAY!" she yelled as she glanced behind her and saw that the fairy was still following her.
"...You talking to me? I'm just minding my own business." He said nonchantlantly.
"...Don't make me go over there and smack you!"
"I'm not even doing anything lady, you're fine." He said, holding his hands up. Angela glared at him once more before she ducked into an alley and hid behind the dumpster. She thought she was safe until she heard that voice again. This time from above.
"...You call that a hiding place lady?" She jumped in surprise but pointed up at the fairy boy to hide it.
"STALKER!" She accused. Ryan rolled his eyes.
"Lady, if I was stalking, I'd be trying to take your clothes off." The pixie girl gasped.
"PERVERT!" She screeched as he crossed his arms.
"Like I said, you're not gonna survive out here."
"Anddddd...you followed me just to tell me this?" She asked, an eyebrow lifting up as she started for the entrance of the alley.
"You could've avoided all of this if you just went back home and stay there." He suggested as he followed her on the edge of the building.
"I DON'T WANT TO GO HOME YOU JERK!" She yelled up at him.
"...It's better than being killed by some gangster fairies out here or being harassed by a real pervert." He answered as he jumped down in front of her.
"I can hold off my own!"
"...Oh really? Then how come you can't get rid of a "stalker" like me?" He asked dully. Angela looked around before she spotted a brick on the ground. She picked it up and hurled it him. Ryan moved his head and dodged the brick.
"That's all?" He chuckled.
"Look, just leave me alone, and I'll leave you alone." She said, picking up another brick as if to throw it again.
"If I leave you alone, you'll be at a disadvantage out here. Who'll save you next time when you're about to be run over?" He asked.
"...Well it's not like anyone cares here...they hate pixies anyway." Angela mumbled as she turned away from him, dropping the brick.
"...Like yourself?"
"Duh, what else am I? I don't see any fairies wearing gray, now do I?" Angela leered. Ryan stared at her for a few seconds before he threw his hands up in frustration.
"...Oh brother, I'm not gonna waste my time any more. ...I'm outta here. Don't come crying to me if you get thugged, mugged or raped out here." He snapped before he walked away.
"...FINE!" Angela yelled after him, and angrily stomped in the other direction. But even though they were practically at each other's throats, they couldn't help but think about each other.
