THE TEAR POPPING, DIMENSIONS SPANNING, AND ABSURDLY RANDOM ADVENTURES OF MAGES.!

A/N: Salutations, dear readers! So, I was just minding my business and drafting the next three chapters of The Fallen Four when suddenly, an idea popped into my head. "Hm… I subconsciously think of AUs from time to time, and I kinda feel bad whenever I don't use them, causing them to get lost in my sea of memories. Why don't I make a for-fun fanfic about exploring these AUs with the canon dimension jumper MAGES.?!"

So here we are now, at the Author's Note for the prologue of MAGES.' Tear Popping Adventure! (that's just the shortened title; the real title is right up there) I already have a few admittedly weird AUs I plan on using here, but if you, yes you the reader, have an AU idea you'd like to see (kinda) realized, shoot me PM detailing it, and I might just use it. Because let's be real here, there's only so much creative and functioning AUs one can make up XD. Anyways, so sorry for the rather long A/N!

Let's begin our multidimensional adventure!

Re;Superdimension: The Tear Popping Prologue for a Tear Popping Adventure!

A crowd surrounded the mad magician, a colorful array of emotions each gracing their all too familiar faces. Today was the day she finally said goodbye.

Today was the day MAGES. was finally leaving them.

Looking at everyone one by one, the mad magician smiled. They were all such nice friends, the short time she spent with them notwithstanding. "It was an amusing ride, all of you. Sadly however, I, the mad magician MAGES., must be going elsewhere in my search for the legendary Doc Tear Popper."

She struck the grassy surface of the hill they were on with the end of her trusty mage staff, causing reality to bend, twist, and contort behind her before bursting open with the appropriate visual effects one would expect to see. It's not like this narrator is just lazy to detail what the effects looked like, but it was quite the mental sight it was.

"Never forget us, MAGES.!"

"Please visit us again!"

"Good luck with your search!"

Goodbyes and good lucks bombarded MAGES. as she slowly floated backwards toward the dimensional rift she created. As the rift's edges sluggishly began to close in on her, the mad magician managed to smirk and say one last line to them one last time.

"I wish we cross paths again, my friends of this dimension."

With a loud yet muffled explosion-like sound, the rift closed, leaving MAGES. floating inside a psychedelic and unfathomable place. A place detached from space and time that only those with specific abilities could access, much less stay within it in prolonged periods of perceived time. It was the zone outside dimensions.

"…" The mad magician's body squirmed in its place, any movement she tried to execute becoming a monumental task for her to do.

"One can never really get used to moving in a glorified vat of honey…" MAGES. thought as she slowly but surely tried lifting her staff up her head. Being in an area that was beyond the grasp of conventional laws, a lot of things behaved differently here. One of these drastic breaks include the extremely thick, liquid-like state of the area. There aren't any actual liquids (or any known liquid, if one were to ask her) inside, but that's not something the mad magician finds the need to know at all. Besides, it keeps on taking her a minute or two of her perceived time to lift her staff up anyway. If it were any longer than that, she would've probably thought of a way to alter this zone's state.

"Dimension Tripper."

An encore of similar visual effects mixed with the trippy coloration of the zone as the area around her began to twist and rip itself apart, the mad magician making herself another dimensional rift. Making haste in the slowest way possible, MAGES.' aloof expression hid the fact that her determination to succeed in her lifetime quest was at maximum throttle.

"I will find you this time… Wherever you may be, whatever I may have to do, I will get to drink you once more…"

L/A/N: Underlined sentences are thoughts and/or imagination spots, by the way. Also, I've come to love the phrase Tear Popping, despite it sounding so silly. :D
