No I didn't invent FY. Duh. You probably already knew that… unless I'm yu watase in disguise… but I don't think she's Irish so NO I DIDN'T INVENT FY! That was easy enough!

The beginning

"Amy-chan!" The happy brunette bounced down the hallways. "Matte!"

Slowing her pace, but not stopping AJ scowled. "Don't call me that… and HURRY! We'll be late to history!"

"You'll be late to history! I'm in health ne?"

"hai hai."

The two continued, weaving their way through the halls of the school. The endless sounds of chattering echoed throughout the place, like a tunnel.

'Yes' AJ decided. 'A tunnel of sound.' She turned to her lagging friend. "Hurry up MJ!"

"I'm hurrying!" Although she was only shorter by an inch or so, her height must have been from the waist up considering her turtle-ish pace.

Normally cheery Ms. Candun, whom everyone loved, stood in the hallway, greeting her students over the hustle and bustle. Today however, the door was closed and the light inside dark and brooding.

A sign hung by the door. REPORT TO THE LECTURE HALL

They shared looks. "That's a little weird." MJ commented.

"Only a little." AJ shrugged, sticking her hands in the pockets of her army pants. "You can walk me to history now!"

"Lucky me!"

"Oh hush up. If you really hated me you wouldn't have told me to wait up."

MJ brushed her silky coffee rich hair (for which AJ would have died for) from her face. "Yes… but I show I love… by hate."

"You're just wonderful."

"I knew that!"

Modesty will get you everywhere.

"Oh wait! We're getting our MSA's test results today." MJ snapped. "Junior are supposed to report to the lecture hall to pick them up! I forgot!"

"Why didn't I hear about this?" AJ asked, confused.

"Because you always have your nose stuck in some manga whenever announcements are on?"

Puffing herself up, AJ attempted dignity. "Hey… I have better things to do then listen to Ray and John make chicken noises in the background of the pledge of allegiance of whatever."

"Suuuuuuure ya do…. So are you picking up your scores?" MJ asked as she gripped the door handle.

"I would do anything for the pleasure of your company… or to get out of history class."

With a laugh the two descended into the double doors…

And disappeared.

Ham Swanson, the class nerd, stared in shock. Then he took off his glasses, cleaned them on his starched white shirt, and scampered off to trig class.

After the initial screaming was over, MJ experimentally opened one blue orb, which was really all she could do because she and AJ were holding each other screaming, and AJ's hand was covering half of her face.

"W-what the….?"

AJ opened her eyes. "Are we dead? I knew Mr. V was going to murder me for not handing in those worksheets! I knew it! Now my parents won't know I was right! He really was an evil vampir-"

"AMY JOY MCDERMONT! Were not in heaven! Were in… in…" MJ trailed off

AJ opened her eyes and looked at the mess surrounding her feet.

"…your bedroom?" MJ finished in confusion.

"AHHH! We got sent to the bad place!" AJ cried.

"Would you get a grip?"

They were silent for a moment. It was at that point they realized that not only were they still hugging… which for AJ wasn't exactly abnormal, but MJ was actually hugging back. Stepping away from each other awkwardly, they collapsed onto AJ's messy unmade bed.

"Why are we here?"

"Maybe we just got amnesia and ya know… drove here and they forgot everything since fourth period." MJ suggested.

AJ glanced at her watch. "Nope. It's still ten thirty. No time has passed." She pushed the date button. "And it's still April 2nd."

"That's so… so…" MJ fell backward staring at the Edward Sizzorhands poster above the bed. "WEIRD!"

"That's usually how most things are." Replied an older voice."

Both girls jumped, hugging each other again. An old woman floating in mid air made them blink.

And blink.

And stare.

"You know Amy… for a moment I thought that strange ugly piñata Taiiskun you have hanging on the ceiling talked. " MJ said finally, in a relieved laughing way.

"Ha ha… that's not a piñata Mary Jane… that's the real deal." Said AJ miserably, covering her face in her hands.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?" Taiiskun growled at MJ before she could reply.

"I uh…"

AJ stared in horror at the old lady above her. Considering the amount of time her and MJ had spent memorizing the FY book, she had no trouble recognizing the old woman, who thankfully spoke in English.

"What… are you doing… in my bedroom?" AJ finally managed. "Hold on, let's backtrack… what am I doing in my bedroom!"

"Hrpm." Taiiskun snorted. "You were a pick me up… and… you call this dump a bedroom? My grandmother could do better."

"Dude… if YOU have a grandmother at your age, I really pity that woman." MJ muttered in defense.

"SILENCE." Her shout shoot the little shell ornament on AJ's shelf sending it tumbling to the floor. "You are familiar with the Fushigi Yuugi are you not?"

The girls simply stared. Their mouths opened to answer, however Taiiskun continued. "There has been a slight change in plans. Miaka Yuuki was in an automobile accident and is no longer able to become priestess."

"She's dead?" AJ asked. She couldn't help it.

Taiiskun glared. "Yes Miss. McDermont, she is dead. However… that leaves the roll unfulfilled. I was actually planning on just taking Miss. High for the part-"

"Me?" MJ squeaked.

"Of course. Your exactly like Miaka Yuuki. Brunette, eager to please, clumsy, unable to cook-"

"Excuse I can SO cook!"

"She really can." AJ confirmed. "It's me who can't cook."

"The POINT." Taiiskun stressed. "Is that while trying to secure the passage of Miss. High I accidentally picked up unwanted cargo as well… so I thought it best to drop you off here to prepare."

"So… I'm going too?" AJ asked.

Taiiskun sighed. "Yes."

"All RIGHT!" AJ jumped up, all former terror forgotten now that she realized what was happening. "Wait… what about our parents?"

Taiiskun shrugged. "They will not even realize you are gone. Each night you are gone they will assume that they have seen you go upstairs to bed or to another activity. I will look into this."

Amongst AJ's cheering and grabbing of random possessions which she began packing in a body bag, MJ spoke up.

"Wait… so I'm a substitute… basically?"

"It's cool!" AJ grabbed her by the shoulders. "Don't you get it… you get to meet TAMAHOME! And TASUKI! And… EVERYONE!"

"It's only Chichiri you're worried about!"

"WOULD YOU TWO HURRY UP?"

The two exchanged glances and scampered out the door, probably to the kitchen for food.

Taiiskun sighed, rubbing her temples. This was going to be a long few months.

It's funny how these things work out! I did one of these things before for a friend, may as well do another!

Muchsaddness4me: Yeah yeah… we all know how you work… you write a little then you give up!

IrishGirl17: Nonsense! That won't happen this time! grins

Muchsaddness4me: Suuuure it won't.

Anyway review please. I'd like a few before I continue.

Also, I know I spelled the head lady's name wrong... gomen! Someone tell me how to spell it please... I always mess it up!
