Chapter One: But I Wanna Go Home, I've Got to Go Home
~Mid-September, Year One of MCSM~
The portal key had been returned to its rightful owner, who headed to his portal to home. The two remaining YouTubers glanced at each other. They actually didn't need the portal key to head home, actually.
As a matter of fact, few select worlds' leaders had an 'Interworldly Homing Portal-key', or as Potterheads shortened it, 'portkey'. It would take them home, even through space and/or time to get there if needed.
The few select worlds had one thing in common – they had direct portals to other worlds. For example, Dogcraft and Bookcraft, SLW and Wonderberg, etc. And since they were the leaders of their respective home worlds, they were the ones in possession of the 'portkeys'.
A flat disc, small enough to fit into a palm. One had the image of a wolf sitting on a book on its central circle. The other had that of a sunkiss flower (symbolizing the joy and creativity) and a Lovely Jubbly Love-Love Petals (symbolizing friendship, kindness and passion) atop a cake. Yet as the 'portkey' was directly tied to the world itself, both flowers were at least 50% wilted and there was a fading (or was it the opposite?) arrow smack in the centre of the image.
Clutching the Interworldly Homing Portal-keys, they were transported directly home, only one of them to passion and peace and wishes granted. The other? To war escalated from daily-strengthening foes going too overboard. But it was home nonetheless.
Until mere hours before.
A/N: I'm guessing that you are wondering what happened next. This is based on a theory of mine, on what happened to the YouTubers. Be prepared for a heck lot of crying for the YouTubers' fates.
WARNING: This story's sequel takes place in one of the YouTubers' own Worlds, and it may cause a lot of confusion. I will be posting it on the MCSM/MC crossover section. A series of one-shots that take place in this AU will also be posted.
NOTE: Once again, please don't accuse me of rulebreaking. I will post the 'links' to the song lyrics online like I did for Hide and Seek.
Thanks for reading, and I will be posting the next chapter very, very soon, if I haven't already.
