A Different World
Wendy was skipping happily on her way to the guild when she tripped and fell flat on her face. Slowly, the Sky Dragon Slayer got up to her knees only to see two people unconscious in front of her. One was a girl and the other a boy. Wendy quickly got up and ran to them to see if they were injured. As she checked them she couldn't find anything wrong with them. Meanwhile, Carla was sent to the Fairy Tail Guild to get help from the other wizards. There was no way she could leave these people just lying there unconscious. What if something happened to them?!
After about five minutes, Wendy could hear her friends running her way. Natsu was the first to reach her. "Hey Wendy are you ok?", Natsu asked as he peered down at the unconscious pair. "Yes. I'm fine. They are the ones that need help, not me", Wendy responded. Erza, Gray, and Lucy soon joined them. "I believe the best thing to do would be to take them to the Master. He will know what to do best. Guys carry them to the guild", Erza stated as she looking towards Gray and Natsu. She found it very strange that there would be people passed out so close to the guild. Magnolia was a very safe town. There was some petty thief but nothing more unless someone was trying to pick a fight with Fairy tail. Lucy looked at the people and then Erza before she started to talk "I don't recognize them. Do you Erza?", Lucy asked. The Requip Wizard simply shook her head no.
Gray started to bend down to pick up the girl, but stopped short when he got a good look at her. Gray was used to seeing beautiful women. There were many at the guild. However, this girl was something else. For a bit he contemplated the idea that the girl was simply an angel that had fallen from the heavens. He very gently started to pick up the girl in his arms and carried her bridal style. "Ice cube! Why do you get to carry the light girl and I'm stuck with this heavy guy?", Natsu asked him in an irritated voice. "Just carry him flame breath!", was Gray's response. "Enough! We need to get them to the guild!", Erza said sternly. Natsu quickly threw the guy over his shoulder and started running towards the guild.
Master Makarov was informed of the unconscious pair and had Team Natsu place them in the guild infirmary. "So Wendy, are they injured? Is there a reason as to why they are unconscious?", asked the Master. "They have no injuries that I can find. I have already checked them. I don't know why they are unconscious. I don't think that it is a side effect of a magic spell either", responded Wendy with a worried look on her face. The Master nodded, "Erza, just have someone guarding them. We do not know if they are friend or foe. As soon as they wake up let me know", he said.
Gray was put on guard duty. He was standing at the door of the infirmary. He had originally been standing guard by the beds but his eyes kept finding their way to the sleeping girl. He didn't want her to wake up to him staring at her. That was not the first impression he wanted to make. The strangers started to stir. "Hey, Natsu get everyone. They are waking up", Gray yelled at Natsu as he got ready to attack in case it was needed. They did not know if these people were dangerous.
The girl was the first to wake up. Her chocolate orbs searched the room. "Huh… What happened? Where am I?" she asked as she took in her surroundings. She then noticed the boy that was lying on the bed next to her. "Micah! Wake up! Are you ok?" the girl yelled as she practically fell off the bed and made her was to the sleeping boy. Micah slowly opened his eyes. "Lina. I'm fine just a really bad headache. Urg. Feels like a bad hangover" he answered her with a smirk. Lina looked relieved at him and went to touch his shoulder and give it a light push.
The pair was so busy talking to each other that they failed to notice that they had been joined by six people. "Ahem", master said almost feeling guilty for disturbing their guests, almost. Micah and Lina looked up. Micah jumped out of bed and to stand protectively in front of Lina. Erza has her sword drawn and Gray was ready to attack them with his ice make magic. Micah was the first to speak "Hey I don't know what is going on here but we don't want any trouble", he says with his hands up in from of him signaling that is not planning to do anything. The Master signals Gray and Erza to stand down. They do as the are told. "Son, you two aren't in any trouble. One of my kids found you passed out in the middle of town. We decided to take you in until you came to", responded the Master. Both Lina and Micah looked down at the short man that was speaking to them. They noticed that the rest of the people seemed to listen to everything he was saying. The next to speak was Lina, "So you are saying that someone found us passed out outside? Where are we exactly?" The short man answered her, "Oh I'm sorry. Where are my manners? I'm Master Makarov and these are Erza, Gray, Natsu, Lucy, and Wendy who was the one that found you", the master said as he moved his hand in front the person's name he called. "As for where you are, you are in the town of Magnolia". "Magnolia? What state would that be?" asks Micah very confused. "This is the town of Magnolia, in the country of Fiore. I do not know what you mean by state", the master answers, confusion evident in his voice. "Is there any way we could look at a map? That may be a better way for us to figure out where we are. By the way I'm Lina and this is my friend Micah", Lina responded sweetly. The master had Erza get a map. Both Lina and Micah looked at it. "Lina?" asked Micah a little bothered. "I know. I don't recognize anything either. Do you remember what happened? How did we end up passing out?" Lina asked while peering at Micah. "No", was all he said.
While the pair was talking and looking at the map, Gray was observing them carefully. They seemed to be really close. He wondered what their relationship could be. Before he had more time to ponder the thought. The master spoke "It is ok if you are unsure of where you are now. We will try to help you make it back home. But tell me are you magic users? If so what kind of magic do you use?"Micah and Lina now looked at the man like he had lost his mind. "Magic… Magic as in what a magician uses?" asked Micah. "No son. Magic that wizards use", the master simply responded. "You're kidding right?" asked Lina. Everyone looked at each other with flabbergasted expressions. Gray decided that it would be a good idea to do a demonstration. "Ice make map", he said as he created an exact replica of the one that Erza had given them. "No way! Magic doesn't exist", said Micah. "I know we probably just fell asleep watching a movie or something", added Lina. "OK pinch me", requested Micah. Lina did as she was asked. Micah cried out in pain. "I guess we aren't dreaming after all".
"Hey grandpa, do you think they are from another place like Edolas maybe?" asked Natsu. The master looked at everyone in the room. "From the little that I have heard so far it seems like that is more and more the case. I will go get Freed and Levy. Meanwhile, Wendy check them again and this time check to see if they have magic in their bodies. Gray stay with Wendy. The rest of you come with me", after saying that the master exited the room. Lina watched the old man leave and then glanced briefly towards Gray and Wendy. "Micah, I think we are very far from home", she said while looking at Micah. "Yeah, worlds away even", responded Micah while squeezing her hand lightly.
