*Juliet's POV*
It was just an insipid, snow-ridden night in the middle of January. The month where the snow morphs from a beauty to a burden, and spirit is completely nonexistent. The month where you feel most trapped in this "winter wonderland"… and face it, you're praying for the grass to come back.
This month was when I first came upon the journey, at the naïve age of merely 10.
I had walked out to get the mail, for it was a stupid Saturday when I had not much to do at all. I had heard the rustling of the mail lady's feet, so… boredom enhanced my curiosity in such a petty thing.
I looked down to find a package. One that almost seemed to have its fair share of bumps and dents… and was addressed to me.
I took it inside and pierced it with a knife, then delicately opened the flaps.
I was not prepared to be sucked in. I was not prepared for a new sort of gravity to yank me into a portal that seemed to pierce the fabrics of time and space.
No, I'm serious. Out of thin air, some weird hole opened up above the opening of the box. I was only able to see it for a second. It appeared to twinkle with the dots of a million stars, but I couldn't really think much of it.
The next thing I knew, I was flung through something with a force that could make me and something else into a black hole, then ended up confusedly looking around at new surroundings, freaking out to the max.
Why was the sky as blue as it should have been? Why was the grass an unwavering green, sporting an almost animatic-like shadow?
Most importantly… why were there mushroom-like trees growing off in the distance?
Author's note: It's not the best piece of work… but this is certainly going to be one hell of a crossover! It's based on only part of my adolescence. I've been in love with MANY fictional characters over the years, so… that's what gave me this idea.
