Lex: Hey guys, what's new?

Authoress: Not much, it's been surprisingly quiet around here lately...

nite train: ... Where's m3At?

Authoress and Lex: That explains it.

m3At (walking up): Hey now, that was a little uncalled for, don't you think?

nite train: Hey man, where've you been?

m3At: Well I didn't turn into a pony, so don't ask about that.

nite train: ... What?

Lex and Authoress: HE SAID DON'T ASK!

nite train: Er... Sorry!

Lex: Guys! I did have a reason for coming over here you know!

nite train: Oh, sorry bout that, what is it?

Lex: Well, while I was writing the new chapter of Crossover, I found a page in my notebook with a map on it! (holds up a piece of paper) I have no idea where it came from!

m3At: What? Let me see that! (grabs paper) This is a treasure map!

nite train: What seriously? (leans closer to look)

Authoress: Let me see! (leans in closer to look)

m3At: Look at this, "In order to find the ultimate treasure, follow the map and face the three challenges."

nite train: What's that at the top? Is that a giant snake?

Authoress: SNAKE? WHY WOULD THERE BE A SNAKE? ARE WE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGHT A SNAKE?

m3At: Yeah, no kidding, I'm with Authoress!

nite train: Oh come on, guys, even if we did have to fight a snake, we could take care of it easy!

Lex: nite train's right, but we can't do it today, we'll have to start tomorrow.

m3At: Aw, why?

(to self)Lex: cuz i havent written the adventure yet...

nite train: What was that?

Lex: NOTHING! It's just... because, okay? We need to, you know, get supplies and stuff.

m3At, nite train, and Authoress: Okay, fine...

Lex: I don't own m3At, nite train, Authoress, or Soul Eater, but I do own my OC's.

The Next Morning Back Star's House

"Rise and shine sleepyheads!" A loud voice boomed into the guest room where Gavin Marcus and Jules were sleeping.

"UGHHHH!" Jules and Marcus groaned, covering their heads with their blankets. "Go back to sleep weirdo!"

Gavin sat up and yawned. "What time is it?" he asked. He looked to the source of the voice.

It was Black Star, who yelled, "Get up already! It's already 6 in the morning!"

"Weirdo!" came the muffled yell from Jules's bunk.

"Geez, guys, I'm starting to get the idea that you don't want to train with me…" Black Star pouted, sticking out his bottom lip.

"Weirdo!" this time it came from Marcus's bunk.

Gavin stood up and stretched. "I appreciate the wake up call, Black Star, but it's probably best to let these two sleep. They're not what you would call 'morning people.'"

He walked out, pushing Black Star with him and closing the door behind them.

"So you'll train with me?" Black Star asked, excited.

"I don't know about that, but I could certainly go for a cup of tea and some breakfast."

The two walked out to the back garden where Tsubaki was already stretching. Gavin sat down at a patio table. Some tea had been set out.

"Are the others not coming?" Tsubaki asked.

"No, they decided to catch up on their sleep instead," Gavin said and smiled.

Tsubaki chuckled.

2 hours later

Gavin returned from the house, having just used the bathroom.

"GAVIN, WATCH OUT!" Black Star shouted as Tsubaki in shruiken mode hurdled toward him.

Gavin gasped. His hand flew up like lightning. And… He… Caught… It…

"How…" Gavin said in awe.

"Dude that was awesome!" Black Star yelled, running up to him.

"Gavin, how did you do that? I thought you didn't have any training?" Tsubaki asked in surprise.

"I don't! The closest I've come is fencing with my brother!" he choked out.

"What's going on?" Jules yawned as she and Marcus walked through the still open sliding door.

Gavin handed Tsubaki back to Black Star, who threw her up in the air as she changed back to her human form.

"Gavin, how did you do that?" she asked.

"Wait, what did Sir Suave-a-lot do now?" Marcus asked.

Tsubaki explained what happened.

"Well it wasn't THAT impressive," Black Star added. "I could've done the same thing, easy."

"Uh, guys? Can I talk to you in the other room?" Jules asked. She pulled them inside before they could answer and slid the door shut behind them.

"Jeez, what is it?" Marcus asked.

"I have a theory. Maybe this is part of being, y'know, from where we're from."

"I'm afraid I don't understand," Gavin said.

"Like, we each have hidden talents that won't reveal themselves until they're needed." Jules explained.

"Well that doesn't sound right, we couldn't do this back home, why would we be able to do it now?" Marcus asked.

"It makes sense if you think about it," Jules continued. "We're in completely different bodies now that we're in a different world."

"DIFFERENT WORLD?" came a yell from the other side of the door.

"What the…" Marcus said as he slid it open.

Black Star was on the ground. It looked like he had fallen backwards, and was now scooting backwards towards Tsubaki, who looked very confused.

"ALIENS!" he yelled, pointing at them.

"What." All three said in disbelief.

"Black Star. For God's sake, we are not aliens," Gavin said, rubbing his temples.

"I heard you talking!"

"Black Star what have I told you about eavesdropping?" Tsubaki scolded.

"I guess we'd better tell them the truth," Jules said. "It can only make things easier at this point."

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Gavin asked. "He doesn't seem like the type to keep secrets."

"I trust him," she said simply. "Guys, we're not from around here. We're from another dimension."

"Wait, what?" Black Star said.

"Yup." Marcus added. "We come from a different world without weapons or meisters."

"No weapons or mesiters?" Black Star exclaimed. "Who protects people from witches?"

"We don't have witches either," Gavin said.

"All in all, it's a much more boring place than this." Jules said.

"Albeit safer…" Gavin added under his breath.

"But you can't tell anyone about this!" Marcus said. "We're on a secret mission."

Black Star winked. "Your secret's safe with me!"

"What, seriously?" Marcus asked. "Just like that? I thought that would take a lot more convincing…"

"Yup! I got your guys' back!" he said.

"And I won't tell anyone either," Tsubaki added.

Jules rushed up and hugged Tsubaki and Black Star. "Thanks."

"Say… What time is it?" Gavin asked.

"Almost 8:30, why?" Marcus replied.

"We're supposed to meet Cel after breakfast, we should go soon so we don't miss her."

"You're right," Jules called back over her shoulder. Gavin smiled. Marcus hit him. Jules shook her head. "Thanks again for your guys' help." She gave Black Star a peck on the check, and then jogged away grabbing the boys' arms and pulling them away before they could protest.

Black star blushed. "Humph!" He said, crossing his arms. Tsubaki laughed.

Lex: Okay guys the chapter's over. Everybody packed?

nite train: I am!

Authoress: Me too!

m3At: Same here!

Lex: Okay, let me just grab a couple of things and talk to the reader and I'll meet you outside!

Everybody else: Okay!

Hey everyone! Thanks for sticking with me, I was glad to get this out, even if it is a day late and a little shorter than I was hoping for. In case you were wondering, my high school's musical went wonderfully, and now I am DONE! D-O-N-E DONE! This weekend is contest for Choir as well, and after that I will TONS more free time to dedicate to you wonderful readers! And now about the Author's Notes. I realized that I should probably get some sort of sub-storyline going in here instead of just making them up as I go like normally. So we are going on a treasure hunt! But you're probably wondering, where'd the map come from? Well here's where's you guys come in. I want one of you guys to have a guest appearance as the maker of the map. All you have to do is leave a review and say why you made the map and what your intentions were. You can make yourself a good guy or a bad guy, it's up to you and you can decide what the prize is too, but for that I want you to PM me or email me at so that it stays a secret to everyone else! Now it might happen that I like one person's character ideas and another person's prize idea. Well then you both win! I hope lots of you enter this "contest" and show your support! Something like this would really get me back into writing again! Don't worry about running out of time to enter, you'll have at least a month and a half. I wish you happiness in your lives, fictional, factual or otherwise! L^3
