"Crash! Where do you keep all of your food?!" Aniela yelled from the kitchen.
"In the refrigerator, where most normal people do." Crash replied from the living room.
"I know that! There ain't no good food in your refrigerator! The best stuff you got is some eggs!" The female yelled back.
"I like eggs." Nahtanoj said from the living room.
"No one asked for your opinion Nahtanoj!" The female said as she returned to the living room, giving up on her search for food. "Crash, your food sucks."
"Hey, hey, no one comes to your house and says your food sucks." Crash said as Aniela plopped down between the two boys.
"That's because my food doesn't suck." She replied. "We have tortillas!"
"You're Mexican! It doesn't count!" Nahtanoj said.
"Who's side are you on anyway!?" Aniela asked. "You know what, just whatever. Let's watch some anime before I kill someone." She took the laptop off the coffee table in front of them.
"What are we gonna watch?" Crash asked.
"That's a very good question." Aniela said as she began to scroll through the list of anime. "We're watching subs by the way. Dubs are stupid."
"You're stupid." Crash mumbled.
"Your face is stupid." Aniela growled.
Crash rolled his eyes. "Clearly."
"Can we just get to the anime?" Nahtonaj asked impatiently.
"Alright, alright, calm your face." Aniela finally decided what anime they were going to watch. "There, now play!" She said and clicked the play button but nothing happened. "Come on buddy work." She said and clicked the play button again.
"What are we watching, or well trying to watch?" Crash asked.
"Fairy Tail." Aniela replied as she began to spam the play button.
"Don't kill the button." Nahtanoj said.
"If it plays, then I won't." She replied as she became impatient with the computer. "Gaaaahhhh! Come on work!"
"Give me the laptop." Crash said taking it out of her hands.
"Well then! Rude!" Aniela said as she crossed her arms.
"Yeah, yeah." Crash said and clicked the play button. It didn't play but it did do something interesting. The screen turned white and shone very brightly.
"What the flip?! What did you do to the laptop?!" Aniela said as she snatched the laptop back.
"Now you've done it." Nahtanoj said.
"I didn't do anything! I just clicked the play button!" Crash said.
Aniela started pressing all sorts of key combinations, trying to see if she could get the computer to respond.
"Come on buddy, don't fail me now." She begged.
"Here let me take a look at it." Nahtanoj said as he reached for the computer.
"No! For all I know you could make it explode!" Aniela said and brought the computer close to her. Then she felt something tug at her arm. "What the flip cakes?" She looked at her arm. Part of her sleeve was being sucked into the computer screen. "WHAT THE…?!" Before she could even finish the sentence she was sucked into the computer. She instinctively grabbed on to the closest thing to her, which happened to be Nahtanoj. Nahtanoj instinctively grabbed onto Crash and thus they were all sucked into the computer. They spiraled down into the white space while screaming their lungs out, neither of them noticing that their grips tightened tenfold. Suddenly everything went black.
THUD
"Owww, my head." Crash said as he opened his eyes.
"Meh ribs." Aniela groaned as she sat up.
"Where are we?" Crash asked as he took in the forest they landed in.
"I don't know." She said and began dust herself off.
Crash stood up and looked around. The trees reached as far as he could see. It seemed endless.
"Wait, where's Nahtanoj?" He asked and turned to Aniela.
"Right here." Nahtanoj groaned as he rolled out of some bushes.
"Well at least he landed on some bushes." Aniela said as she stood up.
"What happened exactly?" Crash asked.
"I don't even know. All I know is one moment I'm yelling at you guys and the next I'm face planting the ground." Aniela said.
"We should probably find someone and ask them where we are." Nahtanoj suggested.
"Yeah, we can figure out how we got here once we know where we are." Crash said as he looked around, trying to decide where exactly they wanted to go.
"I vote that way." Aniela said and pointed in a random direction.
"Why that way?" Nahtanoj asked.
"Just cause it looks safe." Aniela said with a shrug.
"How does it look safe?" Crash asked.
"Dunno, it just does." Aniela said and began to walk in that direction. "Come on."
"Wait, do you even know where you're going?" Crash asked and took a step towards her.
"Nope." She responded.
"Then why…" Nahtanoj trailed off.
"It makes sense if you don't think about it." She said. "Anyway just trust me this time around. I have a good feeling about it."
"If you have a good feeling about it then it only leads to violence." Nahtanoj mumbled.
"Violence isn't the answer." Crash said.
"Violence is always the answer." Aniela chimed.
"No its not."
"Yes it is."
"No its not."
"Yes it is."
"No its not."
"Yes it is."
"No its not."
"Yes it is."
"Gaahhh, Shut up!" Nahtanoj screamed.
"No, you shut up!" Aniela yelled.
"Why are we yelling?!" Crash asked.
"I don't know." Nahtanoj yelled back.
"Potatoes!" Aniela yelled.
"Potahtoes!" Nahtanoj yelled as he pulled out a potato out his pocket.
"… Why do you have a potato?" Crash asked.
"I was gonna bake it." Nahtanoj said with a shrug.
"… I'm taking that potato." Aniela said with a slight glare.
Nahtanoj put it back in his pocket and slowly inched away. "Preeecccciiiooouuuussss."
"Aren't we supposed to be looking for some way to get out of here?" Crash asked.
"Oh yeah… I forgot about that." Aniela said and looked around. "How did we get here in the first place?"
"We fell out the sky." Nahtanoj said.
"How is that even possible?"
"It's not."
"Then…"
"Don't think about it and it'll make sense." Crash said and walked passed by them.
Aniela and Nahtanoj caught up to their friend and walked in silence for a few minutes.
"Am I the only that's starting to think that we're not in Alabama anymore?" Aniela said as she looked at the trees around her.
"Why do you think that?" Crash asked.
"That's a good question." Aniela said as she rubbed the back of her neck.
Crash sighed. "Idiot."
Before She could respond Nahtanoj cut in.
"I think she has a point." He said.
"She does?" Crash asked while raising an eyebrow.
"I do?" Aniela said tilting her head slightly. "I mean, of course I do!" She said proudly. "Uh... what point exactly do I have?"
"Idiot." Crash said under his breath.
"I heard that!" Aniela growled.
"Guys, let me finish!" Nahtanoj said.
The two fell silent but continued to send each other death glares.
"Anyway, as I was saying." Nahtanoj said, catching their attention. "Aniela might might have a point. The trees aren't familiar at all, they don't look like the usual trees we see." He pointed out. The other two looked around, noticing that he was right. These weren't the usual trees with low branches to climb or the scrawny trees that never seem to end. These were different.
"You're right." Crash said as he turned back to Nahtanoj. "Then where do exactly do you think we are?"
"Don't know." He said with a shrug.
"Let's go find civilization." Aniela said with a sigh. "The sooner we find a town the sooner we can beg someone for a ride home."
They walked in silence. Each trying to figure out how exactly they got into their predicament and how to get out of their predicament. Unfortunately, neither of them could figure it out. It didn't make any sense. One moment they're inside a house and the next they're outside. Not to mention that it doesn't even remotely look like they're in their home state anymore.
"Hey, look!" Aniela said pointing towards her right. "I found a town!" Without waiting for a reply from them she took off.
"Hey! Wait up!" Crash said as he ran after her.
"Don't leave me!" Nahtanoj said as he ran after them.
Once Aniela reached the opening she stopped dead in her tracks. Crash nearly ran into her. Unfortunately Nahtanoj wasn't as quick to stop. The two boys were knocked over and landed face first into the ground.
"Owww." Crash groaned as he rubbed his head.
"Why did you stop?" Nahtanoj groaned as he rubbed his side.
"I don't think we're in Alabama anymore." She said as she pointed up.
The two looked up to see what she was pointing at. On a sign in big bold letters were the words "WELCOME TO MAGNOLIA"
"Magnolia?" Crash said as his eyebrows furrowed.
"Is there town name Magnolia in the United States?" Nahtanoj asked.
"I really hope there is." Aniela said as she started to walk into the town.
"Where are you going?" Crash asked.
"Dunno, but Imma ask someone where exactly we are." She said as she headed into the town. The two boys followed her. "Uhm, excuse me, sir." She said as she grabbed the attention of a cabbage vender.
"What can I do for you?" The man responded.
"Uh, well, you see, we got lost while we were… hiking… with our group of people… and uhm…we would like to know where we are." She said trying to piece up a believable lie.
"Ah, well, you're in the Town of Magnolia in the Land of Fiore!" He said.
"… Oh… uhm, thanks…" She said and walked back over to the other two.
"Well, we are we?" Crash asked as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"Ah, well…. According to the cabbage guy, we're in the Town of Magnolia in the Land of Fiore."
"The Land of Fiore? As in Fairy Tail?" Nahtanoj asked.
"No way, there's no way possible." Crash said.
"Well, I can't think of any other place called Fiore." Aniela said.
The suddenly the crowds around them began to get loud and started yelling out.
"It's Gildarts!"
"Gildarts is back!"
The trio exchanged glances of confusion.
"Magnolia is changing into a Gildarts shift. All the townspeople quickly get to your set position. I'll repeat. Magnolia is changing into a Gildarts shift. All the townspeople quickly get to your set position."
Soon all the townspeople were running around in random directions.
"Uhm... I say we follow the crowd!" Aniela said as she linked arms with Crash and Nahtanoj. "Onwards!" She said and dragged them away.
"We don't need your help to walk." Crash said as he yanked his arm away.
"Well, I was just making sure you don't get lost!" Aniela said. "But, whatever, if you guys get lost it's not my fault."
"Like you know the town any better than we do." Crash said as the ground began to shift.
"Guys, we should hurry up." Nahtanoj said.
"Good idea." Aniela said and once again dragged them to some random building where everyone seemed to be hiding.
"What now?" Nahtanoj asked.
"Dunno." Aniela shrugged. "Crash, any ideas?"
Crash thought about it for a moment as he looked out the window of the building. "Okay, so we somehow ended up in the Fairy Tail dimension and we have no idea how to get back." He said mostly to himself.
"Basically." Aniela said.
"Do you think the guild would help us?" Crash asked.
"Probably." Nahtanoj said. "I mean, they are the good guys."
"Yeah, but do any of them have a type of magic that could help us?" Aniela asked.
"Well, Jellal did keep the portal that sucked up Fairy Tail closed for awhile." Crash said.
"This is true, but when does he even show up?" Aniela asked. "I don't even remember half the plot. Well, I do, but I don't."
"Same here." Nahtanoj said.
"So then what do we do?" Crash asked.
The trio stayed silent for a moment.
"I don't think it'll hurt to ask." Aniela said with a shrug.
"Yeah, but what will we do if they can't help us?" Nahtanoj asked.
"That's a good question that will be answered later." She said as she headed out the door and peered down the side of the wall. "Oh… that's pretty high up."
"What is?" Crash asked.
Aniela nearly jumped out her skin and clung to a pole nearby.
"Idiot." Crash said.
"Shut up!" Aniela said as she let go of the pole.
"So, which way?" Nahtanoj asked.
"That way!" Aniela said as she began to skip in the direction of the guild.
"Don't fall over the edge." Crash said with a smirk.
Aniela stopped skipping and clung to the wall.
"Shut up!" She growled as she inched her way towards the guild.
"How did you know she was scared of heights?" Nahtanoj asked.
"I didn't." Crash said with a shrug.
"… Well played." Nahtanoj said as he looked over his shoulder to see Aniela still clinging to the wall and mumbling to herself.
"You guys are total butt heads!" She said.
"Whatever." Crash said. "Just hurry up or we'll drag you."
"Well, maybe you shouldn't have reminded me about how high up I was!" She shot back.
"Well, maybe, you should get over your fear of heights."
"I'll do that when I find it necessary!"
"Isn't it necessary now?" Nahtanoj asked.
"Shut up! No one asked for your opinion!" Aniela growled.
"It's okay, Nahtanoj, I care for your opinion." Crash said.
"No one cares about your elbows!" Aniela said.
"What?" Nahtanoj asked.
"Exactly." Aniela said triumphantly.
"Anyway, hurry up, Aniela! You're taking too long." Crash said from several feet ahead of the two of them.
"It's not my fault!" Aniela shouted.
"Sure it's not." Crash said as he rolled his eyes and turned to walk back towards her. "Nahtanoj, take her legs and I'll take her arms."
"What?! No! Don't you dare listen to him! I'll bite your face off!" Aniela said as she pressed herself further into the wall.
Nahtanoj raised an eyebrow. "I'd rather not have my face bitten off."
"Eh, she won't do anything." Crash said as he stopped beside Nahtanoj and slapped his back. "Come on or else we'll never make it to the guild."
"Okay! Okay! I get it!" Aniela said as she realized that they weren't kidding about dragging her to the guild. "Jeesh, talk about pushy." She said as she parted from the wall. "Someone didn't get their cup of coffee this morning."
"See, it wasn't that hard, was it?" Crash said with a smirk spread across his face as they began to walk towards the guild.
"Yes it was! I almost died!" Aniela complained.
"I doubt it." Nahtanoj mumbled.
"Well, you weren't the one that almost had a heart attack!" She said.
"Almost doesn't count." Crash commented.
Aniela let out an aggravated sigh. "You guys are such butts. Why couldn't have I been dragged into this place with some other people?"
"Stop your whining." Crash said.
Aneila grumbled to herself but stayed quiet. After a few minutes they finally reached the guild, which looked more majestic in person.
"So, how do we get down?" Crash asked as he carefully looked down the edge. It was pretty high up but not to the point that they would break something if they fell.
"We jump down!" Aniela chimed as she pushed Crash over the edge. He let out a yelp of surprise and a bit of terror. He managed to land safely but soon after face planted the ground because of his shoe laces.
"You didn't kill him did you?" Nahtanoj asked as he looked over the edge.
"Of course not!" Aniela said with a smile that didn't look all that reassuring. "Your turn!" She said as she also pushed him down. Nahtanoj, like his friend, also let out a yelp of surprise and terror. However, unfortunately for them, he landed on Crash.
Aniela smiled down at them. "Hm, not as ninja as you claim to be." She said as she sat on the edge and jumped down. She landed swiftly with a smirk plastered on her face.
"I'm going to kill you." Crash growled.
"Ah, but didn't you say it yourself? Violence isn't the answer." Aniela said. "Ahhh, revenge is sweet." She thought to herself while smirking down at the two boys.
