DISCLAIMER: Fanfics are like LEGOs, y'know? Even when you build something out of them and say "I made this", you know that you didn't make the blocks. In plain English, I'm saying that this is my story, but not my characters, settings, etc. That's all Disney/SIP stuff.
"A New Dimension"
It was another run-of-the-mill day in Heatherfield, which naturally meant that the five Guardians of the Veil were recuperating from a recent joust with the forces of evil. For their illustrious leader, this recuperation took the form of a re-reading of a favorite book, The Wind in the Willows.
"Why do I like this story again?" Will asked.
"Because you like frogs", the author replied.
"But the guy in this story is a toad."
"Look, just read the book and stop breaking the fourth wall." The author continued poking at his keyboard. "And answer the phone."
"Wha..." Will was cut short by her phone ringing. She picked it up, muttering something about 'bloody fanfic authors'.
"Heya Will!" It was none other than Irma, Guardian of Water. "I need your help. Got this History assignment that's giving me fits. Can I drop by? I know you're better at this stuff..."
"Oh great, straight from a failed search for the Seal of Phobos to hammering meaning out of the exploits of a bunch of dead white guys. How could I resist?"
"Aww, please?" Irma played up her ingratiating tone of voice. "I'll make it worth your while, I promise! I've got some information I think you'd really like..."
"Huh? What's that?"
"You want to know? Great! I'll be over soon!" The smile on Irma's face just before she hung up could almost be heard through the phone.
"Fantastic", Will thought. Somehow she knew she'd have a headache before the night was over.
