My stepmom, Jessica, or Jess, and I were at her dad's house, watching our favorite anime, or mine at least, Fruits Basket. This was our about third time watching the anime, and I was just finishing up the manga. Jess yawned. "I wish they came out with a second season, I always hate it when it ends." she complained, reclining her chair. I took my hair out of its ponytail. "Everything has to come to an end…" I said, getting out of my chair and turning the Wii off that we were watching the anime on." I wish we were in the anime, then it would never come to an end." I wished, walking into the kitchen. Jessica followed me. " In your dreams!" she scoffed. I let out a huge yawn. "Erg, it's pretty late, I'm gonna hit the hay, 'kay?" I informed, stumbling toward the couch. She and I were house-sitting the place 'till her dad came back from vacation, so I claimed the comfy couch as my bed." Yeah, I'm gonna go to bed, too." She went into the spare bedroom as I took a blanket off the couch and snuggled under it. I closed my eyes, thinking about an orange cat chasing a little gray rat… Jessica's P.O.V. For some reason, the bed felt really hard. Then I heard a loud scream. My eyes snapped open and I sat up, stiff as a board. I gasped in horror. I was not in my bed, I was on the ground in the middle of a forest that looked vaguely familiar. Then I noticed everything looked animated, but in 3D form, which was pretty cool when I thought about it. I heard another scream. I looked over to see Alyssa hugging her knees, convincing herself it's all a dream. She looked animated too. I quickly examined her. She still had her normally straight reddish-orange hair, now to the small of her back, silky and poofy. Her eyes were now a bright blue, a lot brighter than her usually dark blue eyes, and they were big and cute. She was still wearing the same outfit as before, a white t-shirt and frayed thigh length shorts; she hated short clothes, with a black and pink checkered jacket. Then I noticed something else. She had grown greatly, about three or four more inches, so she was about 5'4. She looked a lot older too, sixteen to be exact. She looked at me with her cute blue eyes, confusion clouding her face. "J-jess, look around..." she mumbled. She pointed to the left from where her head was in between her knees. I turned my head to the left and gasped again. Right in front of us was Shigure's house. THE Shigure Sohma. FROM FRUITS BASKET. " .GOD." I exclaimed, putting my hand to my mouth, stifling another gasp. Alyssa looked up from her knees again. She looked surprisingly calm, compared to my freaked out state. "We're in Fruits Basket." She stated simply, standing up and brushing her shorts off. I stood up too, brushing off my dark blue jeans and grey polo shirt. I reached back to grab my hair to find that it was still the normal hip length, but now had a reddish tone to it, almost like Alyssa's. I tied back into a normal sloppy ponytail. 'It's a dream, right?" I asked, though inwardly I was wishing it wasn't one. Though I've never told Alyssa, I too wished to be in Fruits Basket. "I don't think so, it seems too real." She answered. She suddenly stiffened…
