Okay so this is the start of the sequels, im just putting them here for simplicity. they're mainly gonna be one or two chapters long, with a couple longer ones. enjoy!

"We really should not be doing this."

"Those are the words of a coward." Was Lydia's cheerful response. "Now hush and help me pick a movie."

"I'm serious. Even if this does work, what if you're placed in danger?"

"That's why you're coming along!" Lydia pulled out Robin Hood. "Hmm."

"Pick one where it will be obvious if we're sent there, regardless of time period." Karen signed.

"Ah, yeah." Lydia pulled out a veggietales, squinted at it, then put it back. "Know what?" She grabbed a video game case from the next stack. "We're going to Sonic the Hedgehog."

"What?" Morro snatched the case out of her hand. "What in the-"

"Oh hush. It's just a preliminary test, we're not gonna hang out in a world full of anthropomorphic animals for very long. At least, not this visit." She mumbled. "Anyway, I'll be right back." Before Morro could protest, she'd jumped to her feet and ran upstairs.

"Hey mom!" She yelled as she grabbed a Sonic the Hedgehog comic book from her bookshelf. "I'm going to another dimension! I'll be back in like, 30 minutes max!"

"Okay?" Having gotten her permission, Lydia snatched the Realm Crystal from its' home in her closet and hurried back down into the basement.

"Alright!" She slid to a stop and took a deep breath. "Okay, uh, lemme try and find a safe place to teleport to." Catching her breath, she paged through the book, stopping on a page with a field bordered by forest. "Here we go."

"You are way too excited about this." Morro informed her.

"Shh." Holding the book in one hand, she lifted up the Realm Crystal in the other. "Y'all ready?" Karen gave her a thumbs-up, and Morro sighed.

"Yeah, let's go."

"Cool." Lydia glanced at the panel once more, the created a portal, glancing back to make sure Morro and Karen were paying attention before jumping through.

She tumbled out onto soft grass.

"Good sign." She noted as Karen faceplanted next to her.

"It's grass, Lydia. We could be anywhere." Morro floated down beside her.

"Well then, let's go check it out!" Lydia hopped to her feet, helping Karen up as the portal vanished behind them.

"Again, you're way too excited about this." Regardless, Morro floated along behind her as she and Karen marched towards the far end of the field.

They were on Angel Island.

"Okay, I guess this is real." Morro commented as they stared over the edge at the mainland far below them. Lydia let out a whoop.

"This is awesome! Who knows how many other fandoms are real? I'm gonna go EVERYWHERE!"

"Yeah, we don't know everything's real." Morro leaned over the edge to look.

"Guess we'll have to test each one!" Lydia chirped. "Back to Earth!"

"So, Shadow of the Colossus isn't real." Lydia reported as she stepped out of a portal back into her basement. "Karen, write that down." Karen scribbled something on a clipboard. "Gonna assume that means Ico isn't real too. Ooh, I'm gonna go check Middle Earth." She vanished into a portal again. Morro glanced at Karen.

"She is getting WAY too excited about this." Karen made a face at him, scribbling,

"Let her have fun."

"Mmph." Lydia popped back out.

"Lord of the Rings is real! I'm gonna go check Harry Potter." She stepped into another portal.

"I think you're just jealous of the fact that she's gonna meet all of her other fictional boyfriends now." Karen wrote. Morro blinked.

"Wait, what?" Lydia appeared again.

"Hogwarts is real!"

"Lydia, are you cheating on me?" Morro demanded. Lydia blinked.

"Uh, no?"

"Karen said something about your 'other fictional boyfriends'."

"Former fictional boyfriends, not current!" Lydia plopped down next to him on the couch. "Ugh, realm-hopping is hard on the body."

"Take a break." Morro slung an arm around her shoulders. "Why… are you so excited, exactly? About heading into a bunch of other dimensions? Isn't this one good enough?"

"Well…" she leaned into him. "It's kinda like the fictional-boyfriends thing. Like, there are a LOT of characters I've gotten attached to over the years - most in a Lloyd way, some in a you way. The idea of like, meeting them… it's like… it feels like I'm meeting an old friend." Morro glanced over at the piles of books and movies lying on the floor, organized by whether or not their universe was real.

"Guess you have a lot of friends." He commented after a moment. Lydia's face broke into a genuine smile.

"That's… a really nice way of putting it." Abruptly, she sat upright. "Ooh, I wonder if Kirby's real!" She hopped to her feet and disappeared into a portal again. Morro and Karen exchanged glances, then the latter shrugged, scribbling,

"You did something right. Congratulations."

"...thanks."

so yeah. send in fandoms for me to visit!
