Hey everyone again. I hope this fanfiction goes well.

This chapter is slightly longer than the first one, because it has more things happening, duh. Anyways, so "our heroine" (my heroine, maybe. your 'Mary Sue', probably.) wakes up and finds out that something is wrong...

And please don't kill me if Luna's last name is weird, I couldn't find a good one and/or I didn't really care.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own BLEACH.


"Luna! Wake up, you're late!!!"

"Huh?" Luna rubbed her eyes groggily and blinked at the blurry figure that was trying to pull her out of bed. "Mom?"

"Who do you think it is, Santa Clause?! Come on, get up!"

"Ok, ok, I'm coming." Luna sat up and took an indifferent look at the alarm clock as her mother pounded downstairs.

7:36.

She blinked slowly and took a second look at the alarm clock.

7:37.

"Waugggghh!!!!! I'm late!!!" Luna ran into the bathroom, used it (no description required, I'm assuming), ran out, and started looking for her clothes. School starts in 20 minutes!!! I'll never get there in time! Damn, where's my clothes?!

"Mom! Where did you put my clothes?"

"Your uniform's on the chair, Luna!!"

With that she stopped. Uniform? But I don't wear a…And there it was, draped over the computer chair. It looked oddly familiar, though. However, Luna didn't have time to think. At that moment her mom yelled again. "Come on Luna! You don't want to be late for your first day at a new school, do you?!"

What the…? New school??? Nevertheless, she hurriedly pulled on her uniform and ran downstairs.

Luna found her mom running around in the kitchen trying to throw together a breakfast for her. She took this moment to ask, "Uh, Mom, what do you mean 'new school'?"

Her mother looked at her in exasperation. "What are you talking about? Now hurry up and eat your breakfast! On second thought"—she looked at the clock on the wall—"take your breakfast and go!" She started pushing Luna out the door, and stuffed a bagel into her daughter's mouth. "Here's your food and your bag! You got 15 minutes before school starts! Hurry! Oh, and don't forget your umbrella!"

"But Mom…" Luna almost choked on the bagel. She finally managed to swallow it and, taking a deep breath, yelled, "MOM! WHERE'S MY SCHOOL!! AND WHEN DID I TRANSFE…" She stopped in mid-sentence and stared at her mother. She had been speaking in…Japanese?! And Luna understood it!

"Mom, when did you learn to speak Japanese?" She gasped and clapped a hand over her mouth. "When did I learn to speak Japanese?!"

Her mother gave her a bewildered expression. "What the heck are you talking about? You transferred to Karakura 1st High School just today! And we've lived in Japan for 11 years now…are you okay???"

"Uh…I'm fine," Luna stammered. Right?

"Well, if you say so. Anyway, hurry up and go, you're wasting valuable time! The school's a couple blocks from here, you'll be able to see it. I have to go prepare your father's lunch. See you later!" She pushed Luna out of the doorway and shut the door. Luna stood there for a moment, staring blankly at the unfamiliar street in front of her. Karakura??? The bright sunlight of the blue sky brought her to her senses. She quickly shaded herself from the UV rays with the umbrella, and started walking toward a relatively large building in the distance. When she got to the street she turned to look back, and realized that this wasn't her house.

Well then, what the hell happened to me??? As soon as she thought it, she knew the answer. "Oh, no frickin' way…" Luna started running towards the school, through a familiar maze of walls and fences, as fast as she could. "It can't be, it can't be, it can't be!" She repeated, her heart pounding with every step. She ignored the glances of people walking past her and continued sprinting. In about 5 minutes, she reached the courtyard of Karakura 1st High School (with a sign in front that said the name in BIG letters). Her repetitions had gotten louder and louder until she was almost yelling them, but now she was completely silent, staring in awe at the high school, which looked exactly like the one from…

"BLEACH?!?!?!?!?!?!"

As soon as the shout left her throat, she realized that almost everyone in the courtyard was staring at the extremely pale girl who had just arrived panting under a large black umbrella. Despite her astonishment, Luna felt herself growing redder under everyone's scrutinizing/blank gaze, and wished she had brought her hat. She instinctively shaded herself from view with the umbrella and fumbled with her bag to find out what class she was in. She pulled out a slightly crumpled paper with her name on it—Luna Douglas (well, at least that was still her name). Luna scanned the paper until she found her class number: 2-1.

Okay…She looked up cautiously and saw that most of the people had stopped staring at her, so she tried to ignore the ones who were. She quickly walked into the building and, heaving a sigh of relief at the absence of sunlight and the smaller number of penetrating gazes, she closed her umbrella and climbed up the stairs until she reached the 2nd floor.

Luna walked down the hallway until she got to the sign saying "2-1". She was about to walk in right away when she stopped and remembered exactly whose school this was. She gulped and, bracing herself for impact, timidly peeked into the classroom.

At first, the bright light from the windows made her squint a little in pain, but her eyes slowly adjusted to the room and its contents. And the first thing she saw was a tall kid sitting on his desk near the middle of the room. A tall kid with bright orange hair. He was surrounded by a few people who looked as familiar to her as her family.

Luna had swung her head back out of the doorframe so fast her hair whipped her in the face. She barely noticed, though, because her heart was pounding so hard. With her heartbeat in her eardrums, she tried to get ahold of herself. Come on, Luna. It's just a dream right? She pinched herself hard and, suppressing a yelp, thought even harder, OK, it's not a dream then, it's not a dream.

Luna slid onto the floor and held her head in her hands. What happened? This must be a joke right? They're just cosplaying right?!

Sure, mocked a little voice in the back of her head, them and the whole town.

She let out a groan, but could really hardly contain her excitement. She was in Karakura Town! The real Karakura Town! And just a few steps away were the real Ichigo and Co.! Luna had to bite her lip to keep from yelling out loud in delight. Finally she stood up. Okay, calm down, Luna. You've got to keep calm. The teacher will probably make you introduce yourself to the class, and you don't want to wig out in front of everybody there, dessho?...Wait, "dessho"? I even thought in Japanese! Urgh!! Luna slapped a hand to her forehead.

The bell suddenly rang, and Luna was about to enter the class with the other students that were filing in when someone put a hand on her shoulder. She turned around to see the teacher smiling at her. "You're Luna Douglas, right? Sorry, but I need you to stand outside for a moment until I can introduce you to the class."

"Uh, r-right!" Luna stammered again. The teacher laughed and said, "Aw, don't worry, you'll be fine! This is a pretty nice class, after all. And if anyone gives you any trouble, just talk to me and I'll punch their lights out!"

She really does say weird things, Luna thought (refer to Bleach chapter 183).

The teacher, Ms. Ochi (ah, finally found that name) left Luna to fidget alone in the hall. She listened closely when she took attendance (she passed over the people she already knew were there), and her heart skipped a beat every time she heard a name she knew so well.

"Kurosaki?"

"Yeah, I'm here." Skip. Good God, he even sounded like anime Ichigo!!

"Madarame?" What the heck, they're up to that chapter already?

"Yeah, yeah."

"Come on, at least say 'here', Madarame-kun."

She heard a spluttering, and then a mumbled, "Fine, 'here'." Luna couldn't keep a straight face.

"That's better! Yasutora?"

"Here." Skip. Oh boy.

"And, yeah, everyone else is here too. Okay!" Luna heard the teacher put her book down and say brightly, "Okay everyone, I've got some exciting news for you again! We have, da-da-da-da, another cute new transfer student!"

"Sensei, calling the guy transfer students "cute" doesn't sound right."

"Oh be quiet, Keigo. Anyways, come in Luna-chan!"

Luna took in a huge breath to quell her thundering heart and stepped into the classroom, her eyes lowered. Instantly she felt everyone's eyes become glued to her. When she looked up, she saw clearly, for the first time, the Bleach characters all looking back at her. Most of them were surprised. Keigo had an especially strange look on his face that made her even shakier. Luna felt her face turn several shades of red and her voice froze up.

After a few seconds of eternity, the teacher asked, "Uh, Luna-chan, why don't you introduce yourself now?"

Luna snapped out of her trance and said quickly, "Oh, er, uh—Hi everybody! My name, uh, my name is Luna Douglas. I used to live in America (so she saw on the paper from before). It's—it's really nice to meet you!" Then she did a low bow and straightened up, keeping her eyes away from everyone else's, which, if you don't realize, was an amazing feat.

"Good job, Luna-chan! Alright, I think we'll have you sit next to…Hirako-kun there. Is your eyesight fine from there?"

Luna almost jumped at his name, but said, "Um, yeah, that's fine!" Shinji, big-creepy-grin Shinji was giving her a... big creepy grin and exaggeratingly waving his arm in her direction. She waved back tentatively and went to sit down.

When she sat down on his right, he grinned happily (almost TOO happily) and said, "Welcome to Karakura, Luna! I hope we can be friends!" Luna gave him a small smile and said softly, "Uh, thanks, er, Hirako."

"Oi, Shinji, you're freaking her out," said Ichigo (ICHIGO PEOPLE, ICHIGO!) from Shinji's left. He saluted in Luna's direction with that ever-present angry face and said, "Yo, I'm Kurosaki Ichigo."

"Uh, hey Kurosaki!" She raised her hand in greeting and smiled to ease her increasing tension.

"Tch. I'm the one freakin' her out? You're the one who always has scowling mode on."

"Well at least I don't give people such big creepy grins!"

Ms. Ochi tapped the board and said, "Hey you two, class has started. Shut up and pay attention!"

Luna could not stop smiling. But still, she wondered, if this was based on her wish, then where was… Her thoughts were cut off by a sudden knocking at the door (now closed).

Ms. Ochi went over to it and opened it to someone outside that she could not see.

"Ah, there you are, Schiffer! Try not to be late next time." Luna froze.

And Ulquiorra Schiffer stepped through the doorway.


Well how was it? Tada. Woohoo. Yippee. Yeah, sorry about that XD. I'm pretty nervous about this fanfiction. It would have been a cliffy if I hadn't uploaded the next chapter so fast, hahas.

Oh yeah, and kudos to whoever figured out big-creepy-grin Shinji was going to give Luna a big creepy grin.
