AN: This story is about three ravers. Guess what, this means the following have a huge impact on this: ecstasy and techno/trance/house/dance music. As to the former, I give no opinion on it. The story will view it in a positive light, but I want everyone to be aware that this story makes a few exceptions, the most extravagant being that my characters are getting it pure. In real life, you have no guarantees. So remember, if you do E, be careful, and please don't let my story convince you to use it, as I DO NOT WANT THAT. Anyway, this story is going to be a mega mix of crossovers, the rave element being from my own original story, which is an ongoing work. I am including some Final Fantasy games, Naruto, Yu Yu Hakusho, Inuyasha, and several others. I've decided to take a new turn with this, and any of you readers who wants to add in another arc with a new anime or re-visit one of them, feel free to send me your ideas, outlines, or even a complete story. All of it will be given due credit, of course.

Oh, the element that I'm using to mix these is from a movie. That movie is Time Bandits, although my reference to it is almost nothing. Just a black square basically.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the anime, games, movies, or books referenced. I do own Trei, Roy, and Silas. I do not own any music I specify to be done by another artist (although I probably remixed it at some point).

Artists that exist in real life, as well as their songs, will be italicized. If they do in fact exist and I don't italicize them, its pure coincidence, I'm not ripping off a name.

Chapter 1:

Go for it, and Look what Happens

Trei sat, waiting for his two friends. A pretty decent rave was happening not far from their usual hang out above the old apartment complex. He checked his pill bottle. Ten pills. More then enough, but he always carried a few extra. With his connection, he got them insanely cheap anyway, especially for pure MDMA. He saw a hand come over the top run of the rooftop ladder. When he saw green, he knew it was Roy.

"Yo." He said, jumping up onto the roof.

"Sup man. You ready for tonight?" Trei asked, watching the sun set.

"Hell yeah. Who's playing?"

"Railer, DJ Iza, Base Attack, Trill, DJ Morseil, and DJ Localle. But after Trill, the whole thing goes down hill. Morseil doesn't know how to work live, and Localle hasn't been good since his song Sparrow. It's really all he's got." Trei said.

"So we'll be out till about two? Fine by me. Where the hell is Silas?"

"Eh, you know he doesn't wake up until around seven thirty. Even then, he still has to get all of his other crap done. Homework and all that. I still don't know how he does it when he sleeps through school." Trei said. "He should be up here after dinner…he eats dinner at like eight, and its half past right now. I'd say any minute now."

"Nocturnal bat-boy, that's what he is." Roy said. They shared a good laugh at that.

"Heh, he likes the night better. So do I. Anyway, you might want to pop this now. Just one though. Strong stuff." Trei handed over a pill of ex. It would be about an hour and a half until Roy was in a very happy place. Trei popped two, he was a little more experienced and could handle an extra roll.

They sat for a few more minutes until after the sun finished setting and stars were visible, roughly 8:45. Then Silas arrived. Trei tossed him a pill, and the nocturnal young man caught it in his mouth, and swallowed.

"Nice to see you up. You get through that physics crap ok?"

"Didn't do it, but all I need to do is ace the test. I know the shit, I'm just lazy." Silas said, smiling. Trei stood up, and began rummaging through the small bag he had with him. "What else you got for us Trei?"

"VIP BITCHES!!!" Trei said happily, producing three VIP All Access passes to the club. His friends each grabbed one and gave him varying praises for the rest of the way to the club. One the way, a few people recognized them. That is something of an understatement actually; there was not a single person in the neighborhood that didn't know Trei's black, highlighted red hair, Roy's completely neon hair, and Silas' neon shirt and pants. They weren't a gang by any means, just very likeable. Everyone knew them, everyone liked them. If someone asked them how to explain their likeability, they would simply answer with the acronym they had come to live by. PLUR. Peace, love, unity, respect. They would leave that person to figure out the rest.

Once inside the club, the three were quick to jump into the rave. The upbeat instantly gave them a good feeling, and once they started moving with the throngs of people already dancing, their emotion could only be called bliss. Once the E kicked in, it was nothing short of pure ecstasy. To them, there was no feeling that could match the unity and openness one felt when at a rave and on the drug. For hours, they would simply let themselves move to music.

The highlight of the evening came when Base Attack hit the turntables and played Techno Rocker. He received the best reception of the evening, partly because Trei, Roy, Silas, and a few girls they had dug out of the party joined him on stage. The three were regulars at the club, and their presence was always very warmly received. Each of them was very much enjoying their respective rushes, and the result was some hardcore raving. Armed with a very large collection of glow sticks, they seemed to give the stage its own small laser show. The crowd seemed to be a sea in front of them, and the energy of it seemed to add to their own.

After they left, they continued to enjoy themselves above the apartment complex Trei lived in. Trei brought up his own turntable and mixer set, and gave them a demo of his own work. As the rush of the drug began to fade, the three simply sat down and began to talk about various elements of their life. The conversation ignored the usual omitted thoughts; each person said what they felt. No one was ridiculed for anything they said, because to them, that was the basis of what broke not only friendships, but made peace for the world an impossible dream. They were content then, to have their own small sphere of peace.

"You know, it would be amazing if more people could just see that there a better ways to enjoy ourselves then ridiculing others. I mean, we all have our faults right?" Roy said. Trei smiled and nodded back.

"Yeah. Seriously though, us three, we at least have it right." Trei said.

"I love you guys…platonically." Silas said. Trei and Roy laughed, but patted their friend on the back.

"Whatever happened to the time when you could go to a nightclub and find your parents rolling harder then you were?" Trei said. "That would be funny…" Roy laughed the hardest at the thought. His father was in the military. Then another realization popped into his head. He lived almost fifteen miles away. It was already three in the morning, and his military father woke up at four, on the hour. He had one hour.

"SHIT! I need to get home! NOW!" Roy said. Trei and Silas looked at him curious. It took them a few seconds to catch on.

"Oh fuck…do we know anyone with a car? Anyone who's up I mean." Trei said. Silas shook his head.

"No one who isn't at least as fucked up as we are. Roy, you are going to have to pray, and run. Very fast." Silas said.

"Hey, we're going with him Silas. No way we're letting him run down city streets in the middle of the night alone. Now c'mon, let's stop talking and move. Fire escape is the quickest way down!" Trei said. He packed up his DJ equipment, and bolted. Roy and Silas followed quickly.

The three were all in good shape, and were fairly quick, but they were no track stars. After two miles, Silas had already figured out that they weren't going to make it. He didn't flaunt it much, but he was the smart one of the group, not that any of them were idiotic, he just had a brain for numbers. That was the only reason he could sleep through school and still pass.

For Trei and himself, it was no big deal, being out late. Their parents didn't really care all that much. For Roy, it was a one way ticket to boot camp. He motioned for the group to stop.

"Guys, maybe we should just try to call a cab and then split on the guy when were close to Roy's place. We aren't going to make this run, we're already dead tired, or at least I am. Unless you know a damn good short cut, Roy is screwed." Silas said. Trei looked at his feet, thinking hard. He knew the city very well. Putting a mental map of it in his head, he figured out where they were. Matthias and Verwest. His eyes popped open. He did know one.

"Follow me, I think we can cut off a good twenty minutes if we take this alley up ahead…keep moving though, it isn't the safest place." Trei said, taking off. He got to the alley first, and when Roy and Silas caught up to him, they found him stopped dead in his tracks.

"What?!" Roy said, panicked.

"Either of you ever seen anything even remotely like this…" Trei said. Roy and Silas looked over his shoulder. What had stopped Trei was simply a big black square.

"What the hell is that thing?" Roy asked.

"Umm…when did our lives turn into a space odyssey?" Silas said. Trei walked up to the black object before him, and stuck out a hand. "What are you doing? That thing could be dangerous!" Silas yelled out. Trei put his hand to the blackness, and it went right through.

"This thing is some kind of hole. Like, a rip in…space or something." Trei was the imaginative one of the group, the creative one. He was also the adventurous one, and that trait was about to start him and his friends one a journey unlike any other. "I'm going for it!" Trei said. Roy and Silas were about to shout their objections, but the foolhardy Trei had already jumped, DJ gear and all.

"God damnit! What's he going to do know! That stuff he was carrying must way a shit load, if that 'hole' is just a little deep enough and doesn't land on something soft, he's boned!" Normally, Trei could handle a big fall. He practiced free-running, but with the gear in tow, he wouldn't be able to soften the fall. The two called out to him, but got no answer. Then the hole began to get smaller.

"FUCK IT! I am not leaving him…wherever the hell he is! This thing has to go somewhere, and if there's trouble, he's going to need us!" Roy said. Roy was the strongest of the group, and Trei had a knack for getting into trouble (obviously). Roy and Silas bailed him out of it, most of the time. Why he ended up the unofficial leader of their little group, they still couldn't work their heads around. Silas sighed.

"I hate it when this happens…let's do this." He said. They both jumped.

As it turns out, Trei did land on something soft. He was still a little dazed, the effects of the hole he assumed. He checked his gear, it was all ok. Then he sat up, and looked around. He was in an office, on a couch. And there was someone under him.

"Oh…you broke my fall. Thanks…oh shit…I landed…" Trei took a moment to look where he was sitting. "Fuck." Then said woman launched him into a wall, which he went right through. Trei shook his head, wondering why his bones weren't shattered, and why he didn't feel the pain of the impact. The woman was going after him for another strike, but as always, Silas and Roy came to his rescue, and landed right on her head. Trei thought she would be knocked out for sure, but she whirled on them and made two more holes in her wall.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!" Roy shouted. Silas just groaned. The sleepy woman started muttering something, and flicked on a light. Not bothering to look at who she was talking too, she started yelling.

"DAMNIT! You know I was drinking tonight? Why in hell would you do this Naru…WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?" The woman said, turning around in the middle of her sentence. "You had better have a DAMN good explanation for all this."

"Uhh…we have absolutely no idea what is going on. We didn't mean to wake you or anything…accident, you know?" Roy offered. It was the only pay off for having an intimidating father, he wasn't shaking in fear like Trei and Silas.

"I'm sure. You wanted to kill me in my sleep right? Nice try, but you three are so third rate it's not even funny. Who the hell would send Genin for this?" The woman said.

"What the fuck is a Genin?" Roy asked. Then the woman stopped for a second, studying the three boys. She laughed.

"Oh please…this is great…don't move, you can tell the whole story to our interrogator…Ibiki is going to have a lot of fun with this…" the woman said. Just then, the doors to the office burst open. The three looked, seeing a boy about their age.

"Did you see it?!" The boy yelled. The woman looked even more agitated.

"Now is not the time Naruto. These three just tried to kill me…and screwed up massively. An intelligence failure of epic proportions." She said.

"Never mind that! Kyuubi just laid something really heavy on me!" The boy, Naruto, said. Roy, who had learned to read people (another pay off of having his father be who he was), caught the tension rise on the woman's face.

"Do tell…these three aren't a problem." The woman said, waving them off.

"I think they might have something to do with it actually. Anyway, Kyuubi just told me that just a few minutes ago there was a hole in the universe! Right here!" Naruto yelled out.

"Explain…that makes no sense." The woman said.

"Well, look at those three. Do you know ANYONE who dresses like that? I mean, the whole glowing thing…the neon and all that…it attracts more attention then my old outfit. There's no way there from any shinobi village! And that clothing doesn't fit any village Ero-sennin took me to!" Naruto said. The woman actually seemed surprised.

"Well I'll be damned, you do have a brain in there. So what's this about a hole?"

"I didn't really get it when Kyuubi explained, but he just said something about a doorway…or something." Naruto said, smiling sheepishly. Tsunade whacked him on the head. Then Silas managed to speak up.

"I think I might have some idea of what we are dealing with…it's an unheard of phenomenon, but what we may be dealing with his a stable wormhole. We went through it, and ended up here. Sorry about the wake up. I know how it feels…" Silas said. He had enough problems with teachers trying to wake him up in class. Trei decided this was a good time to voice a very big problem.

"You know, I went through that thing hoping it would be like that book, A Wrinkle In Time…you know, bridge the distance, act of god kind of thing. So how exactly are we going to get Roy here home?" Silas and Roy just looked at Trei.

"Bro, I really don't think it matters at this point. We just ended up in an entirely different UNIVERSE. You of all people should get the gravity of this. I'm just glad this place even has oxygen, much less human beings who speak a language that we can…" Roy stopped. He just realized he wasn't speaking English. "What the fuck are we speaking anyway?"

"Japanese I think." Silas said. "I think we should sleep on it. You two can wake me up at six."

"Early for you isn't it?" Trei said.

"Are we forgetting someone?" The woman said angrily. "You just barged into my office, woke me up, making me fully aware of a massive hang over."

"Hey, we said we were sorry. Umm…who are you anyway?" Trei asked, once again starting to feel fear of the psycho-woman. Said person seemed a little surprised at the question. The blonde kid, Naruto, filled in for her.

"You're in Konoha, a village. She's the leader, the Hokage, Tsunade baa-chan! And I'm her…" the boy didn't have time to finish as he got another whack on the head.

"Don't call me that! Anyway, the brat here is Naruto. Welcome to my village…I guess…" The three ravers just looked at each other.

"Village…what the hell kind of backwards place…" Roy started to say. Silas interrupted him.

"Wait a minute. Earlier, I heard the word shinobi. As in ninja?" Silas asked. The woman, Tsunade, nodded.

"At least you know what that is. So…who are you three?" She asked.

"I'm Trei, the one with the neon hair is Roy, and the one decked out in the same color is Silas. Good to meet you." He said, standing up. Tsunade seemed to have cooled off. "Now seriously, what the fuck kind of vitamins are you one? I want me some of those…it's not everyday you get put through a wall…shouldn't my bones be shattered or something?" He asked. Tsunade just stared at him. "Ok…so I'm basically invincible here…that or everyone is just freaking impossible to kill around here."

"Right…I guess things like that work different…wherever it is you are from. I have to ask, does everyone dress like that? With the glowing sticks and the neon clothes?" Tsunade asked.

"Well, we were just at a rave…can't you tell? I mean damn, we have freaking pacifiers hanging from our necks…oh god no…" Trei said. "There's only one explanation for this." Silas and Roy's faces fell, realizing what Trei had. "You guys don't have raves do you…dear god. You people don't even have the faintest concept of it…of techno, house, PLUR, any of it. WHAT KIND OF INSANE PLACE IS THIS?!" He paused for a second, and sighed. "Oh brave new world that has such people in it…" He said, quoting Shakespeare, but in this case trying to reference Aldous Huxley's novel.

"We can all exchange stories in the morning." Tsunade said. I am tired, and I need more sleep to kill this hangover. Naruto, take them to your new place, it's big enough.

"Actually, Silas here is pretty much nocturnal. And he's the smart one…can we talk about this tomorrow night?" Trei said. Tsunade sighed.

"Fine. See you then." She said. Naruto then led the three away.

Once at the young shinobi's house, the three discussed their circumstances. Trei was just hung up on the fact that they didn't have a rave community. Roy was talking about how they were stuck in a village of people whose job was pretty much war, and he worried about having to put up with the military types. Silas actually had a valuable suggestion.

"Guys, we have no fucking idea where we are. As far we know, any of law of reality as we know means jack shit here. I mean, that lady shoved us through a wall and we didn't feel a thing. The only useful piece of information we know is that if we are dealing with a stable wormhole, it will eventually show up again. Furthermore, when it does, we know that someone can detect it. That Naruto kid. Our best bet is to stick around and chill until one shows up." Silas said.

"Well, we don't have a choice really. But hey, so long as were here, let's do some good. Spread the word and all that. So help me by the time we leave here, every person in this world will know what PLUR means. And of course, we'll have to start up raving. I can't go a week without partying at least once." Trei said. The other two nodded. With that, Roy and Trei dropped off to sleep. Silas would be awake until a little after sunrise.

"I think we may have what we always wanted…no more boundaries anymore. If we can go between worlds…hell, we might even manage a steady relationship or two." Silas said to himself.

Post Notes:

Again, this idea flew from a rave. I mean that literally. I was just dancing like crazy, and it jumped in there. I'm the type who MUST get a story started at the very least, so read, and tell me what you think. That Naruto section will last maybe five or six chapters, with some good humor, romance, and action happening.

CONTEST: In every chapter, I will work in a reference to techno, rave culture, DJ's...etc. If you can catch the hidden reference, you get to choose a pairing, or some other reasonable prize of your liking! Like priority on an addition to the story or something. I warn you, they are cleverly hidden!
