Elizabeth walked through the portal with her friend Jasper. When they got to Fairy Tail, everyone greeted Jasper the way they had Elizabeth - as if they knew him before.
"Hey, Hikari! Oh! You're...Ryo! You haven't been to the guild in forever, Ryo!"
"Hi Hikari! Hi Ryo."
So his Fairy Tail name must be Ryo. I wonder how long before he catches on I'm Hikari?
Ryo? Japer wondered. That must be my name here. And Elizabeth...where's...HOLY -! Elizabeth is Hikari?
Hikari smiled at Ryo. Ryo looked shocked. It felt like a dream to him.
"Hey Ryo, wanna talk to Natsu?" Hikari offered.
"YES!" There were stars in Ryo's eyes. He was excited.
Hikari and Ryo walked over to Natsu.
"Hey, Natsu!" Hikari said.
"Oh, hi Hikari! I didn't even notice you come in here! RYO! You're here too? That's great!"
Ryo couldn't believe all his favorite "characters" from Fairy Tail were now his friends. He was awestruck.
"Hey, Natsu! Yeah, Hikari and I...came in together." Ryo looked at Hikari, as if to ask "Was that okay, Eliz- Hikari? Did I mess up? He's not suspicious, is he?"
"Well, cool! Glad you're here, both of you!"
Suddenly, Lucy came up to Natsu.
"Hey Natsu! Ready to go on that mission you promised to go with me? I really need the rent money!"
"Oh yeah! Yeah, just give me a sec."
Happy flew up to Natsu. "Aye! Lucy, this is Ryo. He hasn't really shown up at the guild a lot, so you haven't been introduced yet."
"Hey, Ryo. I'm Lucy. Friend of Hikari? She's really cool!"
"Lucy. Yeah, Hikari is really amazing."
"In llllllllllooooveeeee!"
"SHUT YOUR TRAP!" Hikari yelled.
"A-Aye!" If there were two people Happy was scared of, it was Erza and Hikari. Natsu and Gray were, too, but nobody else was. Well, sometimes people were terrified of Erza, but Hikari was a little less...terrifying. However, the difference between them was small for Natsu, Happy, and Gray. Hikari laughed.
"Happy. Were you bothering Hikari and Ryo?" Erza came in, as if on cue. Happy said nothing.
"Don't worry, Erza. I got him this time." Hikari smiled as she snatched Happy.
"Aaah! Natsu, help me! Hikari's got me!"
"WHY YOU, YOU, LITTLE..."
Happy screamed.
"You annoying little cat!" Hikari smiled and hugged Happy.
Happy looked shocked. Is Hikari in a good mood?
If J- Ryo. Gotta get used to that. If Ryo weren't here, I would have kicked him to the moon and back. I don't want to traumatize him too much, though, now that he knows it isn't just a cartoon.
Natsu, Happy, and Lucy left. Time froze again, and Hikari and Ryo left.
When they got back through the portal, though...
"Did that just happen?" Jasper cried. "Is it really real? Is this a dream? Are you really Hikari Myst?"
"Shhh!" Elizabeth replied. "People can hear you. Time's been unfrozen since we got back."
"Oh, right, sorry. What the heck just happened?" Jasper whispered.
"You went into the world of Fairy Tail and became Ryo. I went with you and I became Hikari. Yes, I am the real Hikari. Yes, really."
"WOW!"
"Volume!"
"Right. Wow..."
Recess ended. Jasper and Elizabeth walked back inside the school.
When Elizabeth got home from school, she went straight to her room. She decided to write in her diary early, because what had happened made her feel so many things. She wasn't sure she should have done something like that, because of how it could have turned out.
Dear diary,
Today, I went to Fairy Tail as usual. But unlike usual, I took Jasper with me! I don't think that was a good idea, but it turned out fine! Nobody died, the world didn't explode, he's here now...but there was still the possibility of that not being the outcome. What if someone had died? What if the world had exploded? What if he hadn't gotten back here? More importantly, is he going to ask me stuff now about being Hikari? I still don't know if I regret letting him in on the secret, though. He had fun, I had fun, and now I don't have to watch what I say around him anymore! I can talk about how much fun I had in Fairy Tail with him!
