Summary: Gabriel is curious about the other versions of his friends and sets out to learn some information about them directly from his six alternative versions of himself as he wants to discover how they differ from their main counterparts from his world.
Before you read this chapter, I would like to say that the OCS that appear in this story belong to their original creators including mine ocs. I don't own them, they belong to their original owners. I only own my OCS and AUs. Thank you.
Disclaimer: This story that I wrote is a different alternative universe of the Magical World meaning that my Magical World universe is not exactly the same universe as TheDragonSaver Magical World universe series.
Edited (July 5, 2023): Fixing Toren's counterparts, and some descriptions I decided to add.
Edited 2 (August 17, 2023): I just now realized that Countryside!Silver's named was suppose to be "Salvador" not "Salvatore". I didn't realize until I look back.
With the introductions completed, the room was filled with lively conversations, laughter, and the clinking of silverware. The different versions of Gabriel shared stories, exchanged knowledge, and bonded over their shared similarities and unique experiences.
But this doesn't end there, Gabriel is also curious about his alternate versions of his friends, the Dream Keepers.
If there are a lot of alternative universes of himself, he wonders how the rest of his friends are in their worlds.
Gabriel cleared his throat, pretending to have a cough, to grab the attention of his alternate versions who were engrossed in their conversations. The room fell silent as everyone turned their gaze towards him. He flashed a mischievous smile before speaking up.
"Well, it seems we've had an amazing opportunity to learn about different versions of each other." He stated. "But I'm curious to know of my friends, the Dream Defenders in your respective universes."
The alternate versions of Gabriel exchanged confused glances, not surely what he meant by that.
"Who?" Gabe looks at him with an arch eyebrow.
Gabriel chuckled, realizing that his alternate versions might not be familiar with the concept of the Dream Defenders. He clarified his question for them.
"Sorry. In my world, the Dream Defenders are a group of my friends whose job and duty is to protect the magical world of Disney from evil and darkness. The main Dream Defenders team consists of me, along with five of my friends: Rachel Logan, Adam, Silver, and Toren. We work together to keep all the spirit of magic, dreams, and wishes alive."
Curious, Gavrino asked, "Who are they? What are their roles?"
"Rachel, my Co-leader of the group and my Right-Hand woman, is a sword mage, driven by a strong sense of justice. There is also Logan who is a natural-born warrior, especially when it comes to wrestling and sometimes video games. Then there's Adam who is a technology scientist and an adventurer, always up for a challenge and loves to travel around the world with his wife Melanie Ravenswood, the ghost bride of the Phantom Manor. Then Silver, who is all about royalty and being fancy, and lastly, Toren who is a prankster of the group and an eternal child at heart," Gabriel explained.
"That sounds like an interesting team," Gabriella remarked.
Gabriel nodded and pulled out his phone, displaying a group picture of the team together. "Here's a photo of us all together." He handed over his phone to Gavrino before he passed down from one to another.
"Fascinated…" Gabrionel rubs his bottom beak before passing the phone down to Gabriella in which she shared with Gabby who she then later passed down to Gabe.
He continued, addressing each of his alternate versions. "So, in your respective universes, are there any similar groups or individuals who take on a role similar to the Dream Defenders? I'm curious to know how my friends are in your worlds and what kind of adventures they embark on."
He gestured to each of his alternate versions, encouraging them to share their own versions of the Dream Defenders or any similar groups in their universes.
Gavrino scratched his head, deep in thought. "Hmm, in my universe, we don't have a specific group like the Dream Defenders, but we do have a team called the Starlight Sentinels." He told him. "We're a group of students at the Starlight Academy of Magic who work together to protect the academy and its students from any threats that arise."
He continued, "The Starlight Sentinels consist of me, Rach, Leo, Aaron, Silvano, and Oren. Each of us brings unique skills and powers to the team." Gavrino the. pointed to himself. "I am the leader of the Starlight Sentinels, and my power is music magic. I can channel my magic through music, using melodies and rhythms to create spells and manipulate the environment."
Gabriella leaned forward, intrigued. "That sounds awesome, Gavrino! What about the other members of the Starlight Sentinels? What are their powers?"
Gavrino smiled and continued, "First, there's Rach, a 14-year-old student who may be quiet in class but possesses a sharp tongue," Gavrino explained. "She stands up against bullies and twists their words to hurt them instead of their targets. Her mastery of the sword is unparalleled, a skill she has honed through years of training and discipline."
Gavrino's voice carried on as he spoke about Rach's love interest. "There is a fellow student named Paul Spelldom, who possesses the power of magic like a real magician," he added. "He likes to show off his magical skill to us and alway likes to flatter Rach."
Next, Gavrino introduced Leonardo, also known as Leo, who was his roommate when they first met. "Leo is rowdy and loves nothing more than a good wrestling match," Gavrino shared, a playful grin forming on his face. "His quick reflexes and strategic thinking make him a formidable wrestler, and he's able to take down opponents much larger than himself."
He continued, "There is this girl named Dallas, a anthropomorphic whale student with hydrokinesis powers, allowing her to control and manipulate water to her will. They first met when they were about to grab the last slice of pizza and the two began crushing each other."
Gavrino then turned his attention to Aaron, a bright student with a knack for engineering and mechanics. "While he doesn't have awesome power like us, he does have one skill in mind, engineering and mechanics. Aaron is always coming up with new inventions and builds things with his remarkable skills," Gavrino explained, a sense of admiration evident in his voice. "His creations, often named 'X 3000,' range from practical machines to whimsical contraptions. Some may malfunction catastrophically, but that never dampens his enthusiasm."
He smiled warmly as he spoke about Aaron's love interest. "I remember seeing Marley Ravenswood, with her magical voice, at the engineering fair and she was captivated by Aaron's inventions and his brilliant mind," Gavrino revealed. "Marley's singing and screams have the power to break glass, and she can even disorient and control the minds of her listeners with her melodic voice."
Gavrino's eyes lit up as he shared about Silvano, his shy and timid friend at the Academy. "Silvano is a romantic student who loves to read romance novels and daydreams in his own little world," Gavrino explained, a touch of protectiveness in his voice. "When I first met Silvano, he was being bullied due to his feminist interests, Rach, Leo, and I intervened and helped him find his courage, his voice, and how to stand up for himself and he became part of our group."
He continued, "Silvano's power is the ability to communicate with animals. He has a strong connection with the animal kingdom and can understand their language, forming bonds with various creatures. He has a crush on this redhead guy named Albert, who possesses the ability to manipulate electricity, creating a unique and electrifying connection between them. Silvano told me how he first met him when he was trying to get that sunk away from him and he stepped in."
Lastly, Gavrino introduced Oren, a mischievous prankster and Jaquin. "Oren, who goes by The/Them pronounce, is always up to some kind of prank or practical joke, but behind their mischievous nature, they have a kind heart," Gavrino shared, a fond smile on his face. "Their power allows them to see in the dark and have a heightened sense of smell, making Oren an excellent navigator and tracker."
He concluded, "There is also a magical student who is a dog named Barnett, a talented potion-maker, they first met when Oren is trying to make his potion for his assignment in class and Barnett steps in to help."
Gabriel listened attentively, nodding in understanding. "That sounds like a solid team, Gabrino. It's great to see how each member brings their unique skills to the table. I can imagine the Starlight Sentinels having exciting adventures while honing their magical abilities."
Gabrino smiled, appreciating Gabriel's enthusiasm. "Absolutely, Gabriel! We've had our fair share of adventures and challenges through our first year, but working together as a team has helped us overcome them. It's a lot of fun exploring the magical world of our academy and protecting it from any threats."
Once Gavrino was finished, Gabriel eagerly asked, "Who's next?"
Gabrian cleared his throat. "I believe I will go next."
Gabriel eagerly turned to Gabrian, ready to hear about his alternate universe and the members of his group. "Alright, Gabrian, it's your turn now. Tell us about your alternate universe and the members of your group."
Gabrian smiled and began describing his alternate universe. "In my universe, your Rachel goes by the name of Miss Raycine. She, 25 years old, serves as one of my wife Princess Jaslyn's two Ladies-in-waiting, but she is also a trusted friend and unofficial advisor to the Crown Princess." Gabrian shared. "She finds herself entangled in a secret relationship with Count Pedro de Spell, a member of the Royal Councils of Nodal, and their love transcends societal expectations."
Gabriel raised an eyebrow. "She is your wife's Lady-in-waiting? Oh wow, I never imagined Rachel to serve as the Princess attendant, that is something Silver would do if he was a female. What about my friend Logan's counterpart?"
Gabrian smiled and replied, "Logan's alternate persona is named Liam. He, 27 years old, serves as my Gentleman-in-waiting, accompanying me to various royal engagements and duties. We share a close bond and have even snuck out of the palace for some adventures in the town." He chuckled. "He is friends with Miss Raycine, and together, they strategize on how to get Jaslyn to like me and deeply in love with me."
Gabriel nodded, enjoying the development of each character's storyline. "And what about Adam's counterpart in this AU?"
Gabrian chuckled and said, "Ah, Andersen is the name of Adam's alternate persona, unlike your Adam, he is not a human but rather an anthropomorphic St. Bernard dog. He, 31 years old, works as my personal chauffeur and pilot, responsible for transporting me to different locations, especially during royal state visits out of the country." He responded. "But despite his lack of noble titles, he has become a good friend and is part of my inner circle. But he did fall in love with Miss Myering, the daughter of Lord Ravenswood and another Lady-in-waiting to Princess Jaslyn. Their connection blossomed despite differences in social standing, proving that love knows no bounds."
Gabriel smiled, fascinated by the intertwining relationships within the group. "What about Toren's counterpart?"
Gabrian nodded and shared, "In my world, Toren is known as Lord Aron. He, 19 years old, is an anthropomorphic jaguar who, in his past, belonged to the noble Soren family of the Isle called Zorro Sabre, part of the Magnolia Kingdom. Unfortunately, due to his strict parents', Baron Ven and Baroness Marcelina, disapproval of his coming out, he was disowned when he was 12 years old." He revealed a hint of sympathy in his voice. "However, Duke Vernando Valle Estrella, bless his kind heart, found him and adopted him as his third son." He said with a soft smile at the main Gabriel.
"Aron later became a trusted companion to Prince Santiago, the future King, and finds love in the form of Benedict, Santiago's Royal Attendant and Personal Secretary thanks to the Prince acting as his matchmaker." He continued on before adding, "The two have also recently entered a polycule with a village girl named Wisteria Coriz, Wendy Corduroy's counterpart."
Gabriel grinned, enthralled by the personal journeys of each character and their romantic relationship. "And what about Silver's counterpart?"
Gabrian's smile widened as he revealed, "Ah, in this universe, your friend Silver becomes Prince Santiago, the Príncipe Heredero de Magnolia, the Heir Prince of Magnolia and Regalia. He, 20 years old, is the first-ever royal prince in history to be openly gay, and his royal family fully supports him. From what I heard from my mother, Santiago began to fall in love with his childhood best friend, Antonio, who is the son of the Captain of the Royal Guard. Their friendship evolved into a tender romance when they got older, filled with shy confessions and unspoken affection."
Gabriel gasps at the royal version of Silver. "You mean, Silver is a Prince in your world?" Okay, yes, Silver is friends with the Disney Princesses who most are royalty while others aren't but are the members of the Disney Princess group. But he never imagined that Silver would be a Prince in Gabrian's world.
Gabrian nodded at him. "Yes, indeed. Silver is Prince Santiago, a prominent and beloved figure in the Latin America country called Magnolia Kingdom. He is known for his charm, grace, kindness, and his unyielding dedication to promoting equality and acceptance within the kingdom and beyond. I met the young prince when he was 4 years old and I just turned 10 years old two months after my birthday. We flew to Magnolia to enjoy our summer vacation and open up trade relations between Nodal and Magnolia as well." He stated. "Santiago's journey of self-discovery and the challenges he faces as a royal prince who is openly gay is a central theme of his own story."
Gabriel was captivated by the transformation of his friend Silver into this royal and influential figure. "That's…. Wow! I never would have imagined Silver as a prince, but it sounds like a powerful and inspiring role for him. And his royal family supports him wholeheartedly?"
Gabrian nodded again. "Yes, absolutely. King Roberto the III and his wife, Queen Consort Paulina, Santiago's parents, are strong advocates for acceptance and equality. They have raised Santiago to be confident in who he is and have instilled in him a deep sense of responsibility to use his position to create positive change. The 13 year old Princess Valentina, El Señora Regio Princessa, which translates to 'The Lady Royal Princess', and 8 years old Princess Amelia, Santiago's two younger sisters, are also a supportive and caring sibling, always standing by their older brother's side."
Gabriel couldn't help but smile at the thought of his friend Silver taking on such a noble and impactful role. "I'm sure he will make an incredible prince and future King one day. Your world sounds like a captivating world full of romance, friendship, and royalty. It's amazing to see how each of us has alternate versions in different universes, each with their own unique stories and adventures."
Gabrian nodded in agreement. "Indeed, Gabriel. The multiverse is vast and full of possibilities. It's fascinating to explore these alternate realities and discover the different paths our lives could have taken. It reminds us that our stories are not confined to a single universe but can unfold in countless ways."
Gabrionel took a sip of his wine, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. "Well, that's just the beginning, my raven friend. I have a few more alternate universes from my world to share with you all."
Gabriel nodded his head at him. "I can't wait to hear about them. Please, tell us about them." He gestures to the black panther guy. "The floor is all yours." He is ready to hear about the alternate versions of Rachel, Logan, Adam, Toren, and Silver in the Networld Universe.
Gabrionel nodded, taking another sip before delving into the next alternate universe. "In my universe, Rachel goes by the name of Rochelle. She's 21 years old and fits perfectly into the world of Bridgerton. She feels like she was born in the wrong time period, and she became close confidant with Daphne Bridgerton, the Duchess of Hastings, as both of their personalities resonate with each other. Rochelle embraces the romance, elegance, and societal intricacies of the Bridgerton world, and her presence adds a touch of modern charm to the mix."
Gabriel's eyes widened. "Interesting, Rachel in my world is never the romantic one at all. She is alway about keeping the magical world safe with her Maleficent's bane. Seeing her thrive in the world of Bridgerton is something that is unusual for her to be in it." He chuckled at the thought of Rachel being all doll up in layers of undergarments, jewels, curls, and acting like a proper lady of the Regency Era. "I can stop picturing her in those pretty gowns and attending lavish balls. I don't think she will be interested in dancing the night away in the arms of gentlemen if she went to the Bridgerton World."
Gabriel's attention shifted to Logan's counterpart. "And what about Logan? What role does he play in this crossover extravaganza?"
Gabrionel has mischievous in his eyes as he shared Logan's alternate persona. "In the Networld Universe, Logan becomes Leroy, a young man of 23 years who loves nothing more than the rush of danger and excitement. He fits perfectly into the world of Fast and Furious, where he can drive fast cars and pull off daring heists with his crew. Leroy is a skilled mechanic and driver, able to fix and customize cars to make them faster and more powerful than ever before. He's always up for a challenge and craves the adrenaline of high-speed pursuits."
Gabriel grinned, picturing his friend Logan in the heart-pounding world of fast cars and daring stunts and racing. "That's amazing! Logan has always been a strong one of my group, and being part of the Fast and Furious world suits him perfectly. I can imagine him pulling off incredible stunts and engaging in epic car chases. His skills as a mechanic will surely come in handy too."
Gabrian nodded, enjoying Gabriel's enthusiasm. "Absolutely, Leroy's expertise in cars will be invaluable in the Networld Universe. He'll be part of thrilling heists and exhilarating races, showcasing his bravery and resourcefulness."
Gabriel's curiosity then turned to Adam's counterpart. "And what about Adam? How does he fit into the Networld Universe?"
Gabrionel's smile widened as he revealed Adam's alternate persona. "In this crossover realm, Adam becomes Ashton, a mid-30 tech genius who is fascinated by the world of sci-fi and technology. He spends most of his time tinkering with gadgets and creating new inventions, which often come in handy when exploring new dimensions in the Networld Universe. He is a bit of a loner, preferring the company of machines and computers, but he's always willing to lend his expertise to help those in need. His inventions and technological know-how will be crucial in navigating the complexities of this interdimensional realm."
Gabriel nodded. "Ah, that sounds like Adam from my world! He's always been a tech whiz and a lover of all things sci-fi. I can imagine him bringing his unique gadgets and inventions into the Networld Universe and using them to unravel mysteries and overcome challenges. He'll definitely be the go-to person for any technological conundrum."
Gabrionel chuckled, seeing Gabriel's anticipation. "Indeed, Ashton's contributions will be invaluable. The Networld Universe offers a blend of genres and themes, allowing us to explore new frontiers and encounter unexpected adversaries. Ashton's knowledge and creativity will be put to the test as he ventures into uncharted territories."
Gabriel's curiosity then turned to Toren's counterpart. "And what about Toren? How does he fit into this grand crossover?"
Gabrian's expression softened as he spoke about Toren's alternate persona. "In the Networld Universe, Toren becomes Ernest, a 13-year-old kid with a child-like heart. He finds himself drawn to the world of cartoons and becomes a good friend of Ash Ketchum from the Pokémon series as he lives there. He becomes an integral part of Ash's journey across different regions and treated like a son by Delia and the Alola Professor namedKukui, considered a part of Ash's Kanto-Alola Family. Together, they embark on adventures together, catching Pokémon, and forge a deep bond of friendship."
Gabriel smiled, picturing Toren as a young jaguar navigating the colorful and whimsical world of cartoons. "Toren has always had a playful and youthful spirit, and being part of the cartoon world very much suits him at all. Him having fun and joining Ash on his Pokémon journey, must be incredible experiencing all the excitement and wonders that come with it."
Gabrionel nodded, his eyes filled with warmth. "Absolutely, Ernest's enthusiasm and child-like wonder will bring a lightheartedness to the adventures within the Networld Universe. His brother-like relationship with Ash will be a central part of his storyline, and together, they'll embark on thrilling quests and encounter a wide array of Pokémon and characters."
Gabriel's attention then turned to Silver's counterpart. "And what about Silver? How does he fit into this diverse and interconnected Networld Universe?"
Gabrionel's smile turned into a grin as he shared Silver's alternate persona. "Ah, in the Networld Universe, your friend Silver becomes Sterling, an 18-year-old Hispanic man, who resides in the real world but finds himself drawn into the world of Bridgerton." He revealed. "Sterling befriended Miss Penelope Featherington, who is also an insipid and shy wallflower. Together with Miss Penelope, Miss Edwina Sharma, who shares their love of romance, and Miss Rochelle, who also enjoys adventuring in the world of Bridgerton, Sterling becomes an intriguing figure in the high society of the Regency era." He then sip another wine from his cup before continuing on.
"Lady Danbury takes a particular interest in the young man, and on Pride Month, she sponsors him with the hope of finding a perfect gay love match. Sterling becomes the first-ever man to be named 'The Season Diamond' by Her Majesty, Queen Charlotte of Great Britain & Ireland."
Gabriel smiled at the thought of Silver being in the world of Bridgerton. "I had always imagined Silver being in the world of Bridgerton ever since that show came out on Netflix in 2020 and how much he loves to binge watch it a lot, that is something that he would definitely enjoy." He told Gabrionel. "Being part of the Regency era's high society and capturing the Queen's attention as 'The Season Diamond' is such an honor. I can imagine Sterling navigating the intricacies of high society, finding love, and making his mark in that elegant and romantic world."
Gabrionel nodded, pleased with Gabriel's reaction. "Yes, Sterling's journey in the Networld Universe will be filled with romance, intrigue, and self-discovery. His friendship with Miss Penelope, Miss Edwina, and Miss Rochelle will be a source of support and camaraderie as they navigate the societal expectations and challenges of the era. Sterling's unique perspective as an outsider in that world will provide an interesting dynamic."
Gabriel couldn't contain his thought of his friend Silver meeting with the Networld version of himself, invited to go to tea and especially dressing up together to attend an evening nightly ball. "I can't wait to see how Sterling's story unfolds! It sounds like a captivating adventure filled with romance, friendship, and the exploration of societal norms."
Gabrionel raised his glass, a glimmer of mischief in his eyes. "Indeed, my friend. Even Lady Whistledown has spoken about him in her Society Paper."
Gabriel paused. "Lady Whistledown?"
Gabrionel chuckled at Gabriel's reaction. "Yes, Lady Whistledown, a mysterious gossip columnist who unveils secrets and scandals of high society in the world of Bridgerton. She keeps a watchful eye on the happenings of the social elite and isn't afraid to reveal the truth in her Society Paper that some don't want others to know. It adds an extra layer of intrigue and drama to the already captivating world. If I remember, I do recall reading her newsletter and I discovered that Sterling began a friendship with Augustine. I do believe that I have discovered that he is the only one who has a love interest while the rest of them who I have mentioned before don't have one." He told him.
"My dear raven friend, if only I possessed Lady Whistledown's newsletter with me, I would gladly share it with you." He ends with a chuckle.
Right after he chuckled, an unexpected gust of wind blew through the Room of Alternate Universes. The gothic window that was supposed to be closed suddenly flung open, and to everyone's surprise, Lady Whistledown's newsletter came flying in, as if guided by an unseen hand.
The newsletter gracefully floated over to Gabriel above the table, everyone in the room looked up in astonishment and gasp as they watched the paper magically float above them. It landed neatly on his lap. Everyone in the room exchanged astonished glances, unable to comprehend the strange occurrence.
Gabriel, equally surprised, carefully picked up the newsletter. It was a beautifully designed scroll with elegant calligraphy, signed with Lady Whistledown's distinctive seal. He opened it and began to read aloud to everyone to hear:

Gabriel finished reading the newsletter, his eyes wide with astonishment, just then, the newsletter just magically vanished from his hands. The room fell into a moment of silence as everyone processed what had just occurred. Gabrionel looked around, with a sly and amusement mix expression on his face.
"Well, that was quite unexpected," he finally said with a soft chuckle, breaking the silence. "It seems that the room wanted us to know about Sterling's romantic endeavors in the Networld Universe by bringing in Lady Whisltedown's newsletter."
Gabriel couldn't help but chuckle along with Gabrionel, still amazed by the mysterious events that had just unfolded. "Right, it seems the room has a way of surprising us. Lady Whistledown's newsletter appears like that, it's almost as if the Room itself wanted us to know about Sterling's romantic journey. Love truly knows no boundaries, even across dimensions."
Gabrian then looks at Gabrionel. "Do you know who Lady Whistledown is? I have this odd feeling that…. you somehow already know her identity."
Gabrionel smiled mischievously, his eyes twinkling with secrets. "Ah, Your Royal Highness, Lady Whistledown is a mysterious figure indeed. She keeps her identity hidden, no one, not even in the World of Netflix knows who she is." He wink at him. "As for whether I know her true identity, well... let's just say I know who she is, but it wouldn't be proper of me to reveal such information. Lady Whistledown's anonymity adds to the intrigue and charm of her writings, don't you think?"
Gabriel soon realizes that Gabrionel wasn't going to reveal Lady Whistledown's identity. It is important for him, as guardian of his world, to ensure the balance and harmony between the various stories and characters. Meaning he can't change certain shows or movies with canon storyline even when others wish for alterations. Gabriel nodded understandingly, realizing that Gabrionel's role as a guardian prevents him from revealing certain information that could disrupt the balance of the stories. He respected Gabrionel's decision to keep Lady Whistledown's identity a secret, as it added to the mystery and allure of her character from the show.
To shift this conversation, Gabriel's eyes scan around the table. "Alright, who else hasn't had their turn?"
Azrael, his wolf counterpart from the Epic Universe, decided to have his go. "Since Gabriel already knows about his friends from my world. I don't mind sharing with you all." He said. The wolf cleared his throat and began to share his alternate versions of Gabriel's friends. "In my universe, the Universal Studios world, my friends and I are called Epic Enforcers." He started. "My group consists of Julie, Alex the Koopa, Osborn, Sora, and Goldie."
Everyone listened attentively as Azrael began describing the alternate versions of Gabriel's friends in the Universal Studios world.
"For starters, Julie is obsessed with the classic Universal Monsters, you know, Frankenstein, Count Dracula, all that and she is sort of a monster tamer, and that comes in handy whenever Halloween Horror Nights rolls around." He began. "She is married to Lawrence Stewart Talbot, the Wolf Man, in case any of you don't know"
Gabriel looks completely in surprise, the last time he and Logan enter his world, he never mentions Julie being married to Lawrence. "Wait, she is married?" He said to him, "You never told me and Logan that she's a married woman."
Azrael just simply shrugged his shoulders. "That is because by the time you two entered my world, she wasn't married. No one knew until the Universal Society's newspaper printed out and revealed that the couple secretly went to City Hall to wed and sign their marriage license."
He moved on to the description of Logan's counterpart. "Logan is represented by Alex the Koopa, the creature from Super Mario. Last thing you heard from me Gabriel is that he has partnered up with Cappy from one of Mario's adventures, and together they embark on thrilling fights and adventures. Alex is also training with Luffy to learn Haki and with the Furious Five to learn Kung Fu. He's always up for a challenge and ready to showcase his combat skills."
Gabriella's attention then turned to Adam's counterpart. "And what about Gabriel's version of Adam? How does he fit into your world?"
Azrael continued, revealing Adam's alternate persona. "In the Epic Universe, Adam is represented by Osborn, or Oz for short. He's a fierce Auror in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. When he's in the Wizarding World, he's dressed in Auror robes, showcasing his dedication to maintaining order and combating dark magic. But when he's in the Muggle World, he wears a modern-day British constable uniform. Oz is highly skilled in investigating dark artifacts and working with the Ministry of Magic's department of magical child welfare. However, being a Muggle-born, he's extremely reluctant to obliviate any Muggles due to modern technology making it nearly impossible to maintain the statute of secrecy." Azrael then revealed Oz's love interest, Marilyn Monroe. "Oz's heart has been captured by the timeless beauty of the famous Marilyn Monroe, and their connection transcends the boundaries of their respective worlds," Azrael explained, a touch of romance in his voice.
He then continued on with Goldie. "There is also Goldie who is a high-class-kind of person and is event organizer and helps plan events around the park and is friends with most ladies of the Epic Universe but is also Best Friend with the Ogre Princess Fiona from Shrek who taught her martial arts." He said before adding more info that Gabriel doesn't even know. "Last time I heard about Goldie, she was planning on becoming an actress like her idol Grace Kelly, with Marilyn Monroe serving as her acting teacher."
Lastly, Azrael's expression began to somewhat annoy as he began to describe Toren's alternate persona. "In the Universal Studios world, Toren becomes Sora, not the Kingdom Heart Sora, a different Sora." He clarified.
"He is the 18-year-old spirit of April Fools Day and an honorary member of the Guardians of Childhood in the Epic Universe. He's a founding member of our group, the Epic Enforcers, although we are still brainstorming a name." Azrael explained. "That kid is delightful in pulling childish pranks on the citizens of the Epic Universe and spreading laughter and joy wherever he goes. He has a mischievous and playful nature, always ready to make a good joke and bring a smile to people's faces."
But soon, Azrael let out a growl. "But make sure you don't become the victim of his… prank," he said to them. "Last time he prank me… well…."
Flashback:
Azrael, feeling refreshed after his shower, strolled down the lively streets of the Hollywood section in Universal Orlando park. As he passed by various visitors, he noticed their peculiar glances and odd expressions.
He did notice how the Ogre parents were taking their triplet, strap in their stroller, on a walk when they saw Azrael in the most shocking way. Shrek tries to conceal his laughter only to be scolded by his wife Fiona but also trying not to laugh like her husband as she turns her face away.
Paying little attention to their reactions, he approached Porsha, who was engrossed in her phone with her body leaning against the streetlamp.
"Hey, Porsha! How's your day going?" Azrael greeted her with a warm smile.
Porsha looked up from her phone, and her eyes widened and mouth dropped in shock. However, her surprise quickly transformed into uncontrollable laughter. She managed to compose herself long enough to take a picture of Azrael on her phone, still chuckling before falling to the ground.
"Why are you laughing, Porsha?" Azrael asked, slightly confused.
Porsha tried to control her laughter as she showed Azrael the picture while stomping her fist onto the concrete floor, and his eyes widened in disbelief. The image revealed his entire fur dyed a vibrant shade of pink. He couldn't believe what he was seeing and let out a mixture of surprise and annoyance.
"What in the world?" Azrael exclaimed, his voice a mix of shock and frustration. "How did this happen? Why is my fur pink?"
Just then, he heard a familiar sound of laughter coming from behind him. Azrael turned around and saw Sora, the mischievous 18-year-old spirit of April Fools Day, standing there with a mischievous grin on his face.
"Sora!" Azrael growled with frustration. "You're behind this, aren't you?"
Sora couldn't contain his laughter and nodded with mischief. "Oh, come on, Azrael! It was just a harmless prank. I may or may not have added a little pink dye to your shampoo. But don't worry, it won't last that long... maybe about two weeks!"
Sora continues to laugh, thoroughly amused by his successful prank, while Azrael walks away from him and Porsha, who was still dying of laughter on the ground, trying his best to ignore the amused looks from park visitors and folks and planning his revenge.
"Just you wait, Sora. Revenge will be sweet." He shouted out at him with his finger pointing at him. "YOU HEARD ME?!?! REVENGE WILL BE SWEET!!!" He vowed.
Flashback Ended
Back in the Room of Alternative Universes, Gabriel and his alternate version found themselves laughing uncontrollably at the recounting of Azrael's pink fur incident caused by Sora's prank.
Gabriel wiped away tears of laughter from his eyes, trying to catch his breath. "Oh, Azrael! I can't believe Sora got you like that. Pink fur? That's priceless!"
"I can only imagine the looks on everyone's faces when they saw you walking around with pink fur." Gavrino laughed.
Gabrionel chuckled and nodded in agreement. "Indeed, it must have been a memorable experience for everyone who encountered you that day."
Azrael, looking a bit disgruntled but trying not to let it show too much. "Alright, alright, you both had your laugh." He exclaims with a slight blush on his cheek. "But mark my words, Sora will pay for this one." He then murmured a sentence. "Can't believe that Porsha called me 'Barbie Wolf' for two weeks straight!"
As the laughter and camaraderie continued in the Room of Alternative Universes, Gabriel turned to the group and asked, "So, who's next to share their alternate versions?"
After a moment of silence, Gabe took a deep breath, feeling a bit nervous as he prepared to share about his friends from the Schooler Universe. He stood in front of the group, his confident demeanor shining through.
"Alright, everyone, let me tell you about my friends from the High School Au," Gabe began, his voice filled with enthusiasm. "In this universe, we're all attending Walt Disney High School. I started my years as a sophomore."
Gabe then began with Rachel's counterpart in the Schooler Universe. "Meet Raquel, she's a 17-year-old junior. She's one of the best singers in the choir class and recently decided to try her luck with the drama club. She's aiming to become more outgoing. Oh, and she has a friendly rivalry with Paxton, a well-known member of the Drama Club." He then started to chuckle. "The two would start to act like an old-grumpy-married couple."
Next, he talked about Logan's alternate version. "Luke is a 16-year-old sophomore too like me and a member of the Lionhearted Luchadores, our school's wrestling team. He's known for his strength and agility on the mat, but off the mat, he's a total goofball. He loves making everyone laugh and is always up for a challenge." Gabe revealed Luke's love interest, Demi, a sophomore and plus-size member of the girl swim team called the "Aquatic Maidens," trained by Coach Ariel. "Demi brings her own unique strength and determination to the team, and Luke is captivated by her spirit," Gabe explained, his voice carrying a touch of warmth.
Gabe then moved on to Adam's counterpart. "Alden is a 17-year-old sophomore with a passion for mechanical engineering. He's fascinated with how things work and spends a lot of his free time tinkering with machines. He's an incredibly smart and talented guy." He soon started to speak about a girl at school. "There is this girl named Melissa Ravenswood, a sophomore and member of the Cheerleading Team trained by Coach Dottie. She is having trouble with her science class so Coach Dottie decided to have Alden to tutor her, and soon, love began to blossom." Gabe described a hint of sweetness in his voice.
He continued with Toren's alternate persona. "Soren is a 14-year-old freshman and has an identical twin named Terra. They both go to our school together, but they have completely different personalities. Soren is an extrovert and is always ready to stand up against injustice. They have a unique perspective on the world, and their courage is inspiring." He then goes on about the Soren relationship. "His best friend is a student named Bacchus Dogg. Although, there's nothing much about their relationship whether or not if these two have a romantic feeling with each other or just good friends"
Finally, he introduced Silver's counterpart. "Lastly, there's Silvio. He's fifteen and a Hispanic freshman. Silvio was assigned female at birth but later realized he identified as male. With the support of his family, he underwent top surgery and began living as his true self. Silvio is a talented artist and uses his artwork to express himself. He's also a member of the Drama Club, fulfilling his dream of being involved in acting." Gabe shared, admiration evident in his tone. "He also has a crush on a handsome guy named Andy, a member of the football team known as the 'Mouseketeer Knights,' and we often tease him about his crush."
He paused for a moment, reflecting on the unique qualities of each of his friends. "These are my friends from the Schooler Universe, and together, we make up the Renaissance Renegades. We navigate the ups and downs of high school, supporting each other and making memories that will last a lifetime."
As Gabe finished describing his friends from the Schooler Universe, he couldn't help but feel proud of the unique and diverse group they formed as the Renaissance Renegades. Each of them brought their own talents, dreams, and challenges to the high school experience, creating a dynamic and supportive group.
"I'm lucky to have such incredible friends in this universe," Gabe said, a smile spreading across his face. "We may face different struggles and pursue different passions, but together, we make a formidable team."
Once Gabe finished his introduction, the room erupted into applause and cheers. The 6-year-old version of Gabriel, with his innocent and curious eyes, raised his hand enthusiastically. "I wanna go next! I wanna go next!" he said with excitement.
Gabriel smiled at his younger self. "Alright, little buddy, you're up next," he said encouragingly.
The younger version of Gabriel straightens his back, his small frame filled with enthusiasm and a sense of importance. He took a deep breath before beginning to describe his friends.
"First, there's Rae," he started, his voice filled with admiration as he began to describe Rachel's counterpart. "She's six years old, and she loves performing for everyone. She's a natural actress, always putting on shows for us and making us laugh. But she's also really caring and helps us when we need it."
The young Gabriel's eyes sparkled with excitement as he talked about Logan's alternate version. "And then there's Lincoln. He's six years old too, and he's always on the move. He loves to run, jump, and climb on everything. He's the best adventure buddy I could ask for."
He paused for a moment, collecting his thoughts, before continuing with Adam's counterpart. "Aidan is also six years old. He's really smart and loves to learn new things. He's always asking questions and exploring the world around us. He's like our own little scientist."
The young Gabriel's mischievous smile appeared as he described Toren's alternate persona. "Torre is a jaquin boy and is five years old just like me, and he's always up to something. He's mischievous and loves to play tricks on us, but he's also really charming and can make anyone smile."
Finally, he came to Silver's counterpart. "Sylveon is five years old, and he's really gentle and loves animals. He enjoys spending time in the garden and taking care of hurt animals with Miss Cindy. He's like a little prince."
Gabriel couldn't help but be filled with nostalgia as he listened to his younger self talking about his friends from the Kiddie Universe. The bond they shared at such a young age was heartwarming and precious.
As the young Gabriel finished his descriptions, the room was filled with applause and smiles. The alternate versions of Gabriel's friends were truly diverse and unique, Gabby even said that they were nicknamed the "Toddler Troupes" by Mary Poppins who run the Daycare in the Kiddie Universe.
Gabriel approached his younger self and ruffled his hair affectionately. "Well done, little Gabe. You've shared about our friends so beautifully. They're lucky to have you as their friend."
Gabriel couldn't help but feel a swell of pride and affection for his younger self. The bond between the different versions of himself and his friends continued to grow stronger as they shared their stories and celebrated the uniqueness of each universe.
"Now," Gabriel said, "who's ready to hear the next alternate universe of my friends? Let's keep this journey through the multiverse going!" And with that, the room filled with anticipation and excitement for the next story to unfold.
Gabrio, raised his hand eagerly. Gabrio had a calm and gentle demeanor, a reflection of the peaceful and close-knit community they lived in. Gabriel nodded at him, a small smile playing on his beak, and motioned for Gabrio to speak about his friends in his world.
"In the Countryside Universe, let me introduce you to Rosalind," Gabrio began to speak. "She's a seventeen-year-old anthropomorphic gray squirrel who works at the Sheriff Department as an apprentice to Sheriff Woody Pride. Alongside his Deputy Sheriff Jessie Anderson, Rosalind strives to bring justice to our town and stop any criminals."
He paused, imagining Rosalind's determination as she worked to uphold the law. "Rosalind's also quite adventurous and has a soft spot for exploring new places. She's always up for a challenge, and her bravery inspires everyone around her." He explained. "One day, while on patrol, she encounters anthropomorphic duck named Powell, a rebellious troublemaker known for his graffiti around town and was placed behind bars. Despite their differences and how much Powell likes to annoy her, they find themselves drawn to each other."
Gabrio then moved on to Logan's counterpart in their Countryside Universe. "Next up is Lucas," he said with a fond smile. "He's a seventeen-year-old anthropomorphic brown coyote who never backs down from a dare. Lucas is the life of the party, always bringing up the energy wherever he goes. But beneath his rebellious nature, he's fiercely loyal to his friends and volunteers." He shared a smile on his beak. "He likes to eat at 'Tiana's Diner' with an anthropomorphic whale waitress girl named Daria, who works there and lives with her Aunt Dory, who happens to be a teacher at Pixie Hollow Kindergarten. The two like to hang out and have conversations with each other and especially became good friends."
He took a moment to appreciate Lucas's playful and caring nature before shifting the focus to Adam's alternate version. "Alan, who's a twenty-one human guy, is our go-to guy for mechanical repairs who works at Mater's Mechanic Repair Shop," Gabrio explained. "He maintains vehicles like cars, trucks, and tractors, fixing and repairing any machines that need attention. His skills are invaluable to the community, and he takes pride in his work." He then goes on. "He was later sent to the Ravenswood home to help fix Henry Ravenswood's (the owner of the successful Ravenswood Winery) car. There he met his daughter, Melinda Ravenswood, who offered him grape juice while he was working on her dad's car." Gabe explains to Gabriel. "As much as they love each other, their relationship has to remain a secret since her dad wouldn't approve of his daughter dating someone."
Gabrio paused once more, allowing the image of Alan diligently repairing machinery to settle in everyone's minds. "Now, let me tell you about Ren," he continued, excitement lacing his voice. "He's a thirteen-year-old anthropomorphic Jaquin kid and is quite the prankster in our town of Everbloom. Ren is the third biological son of Mayor Victor Vallestrella, but sadly, his mother, Margot Vallestrella, passed away shortly after his birth. Luckily, his godmother, Marian Hood, has been there for him, acting as his mother figure."
Gabrio smiled warmly as he imagined Ren's mischievous spirit, bringing laughter to their small community. "Finally, there's Salvador," he said, his tone filled with admiration. "He's fifteen years old and comes from a Hispanic homesteading family. They work on their small farm-ranch called 'Willow Ranchette,' where they take care of animals and perform various tasks around their home, like harvesting and planting."
He continued, "Salvador has a deep connection to his family's land and heritage, and he's an incredibly hardworking individual. His dedication to his responsibilities is truly inspiring." He describes with a sense of appreciation for their hard work evident in his voice. "The Family also met August, who was sent from the UK to help out at the ranch by his dad who happened to know Salvador's dad. I found out that August began to develop a romantic feeling with Salvador and eventually fell in love but he doesn't have the courage to tell him." He explained. "He doesn't know that I know. Of course, there is someone else in the competition to win Salvador's heart, an anthropomorphic white deer guy named Stuart who works at the Library called Sorcerer's Tome Hall and is good friends with Salvador." Gabrio reveals a possible romance between two individuals that are pursuing or involved in a romantic relationship with the same guy. "Stuart confesses to me in Town how much he loves Salvador and how much of a hardworking guy he is but he and August become rivals once they learn that one of them loves Salvador so they view each other as a competitor and see which one of them can win Salvador's heart."
Gabrio concluded his introduction, standing tall and proud in his seat. "And these are my friends from the Countryside Universe, and together, we form the Cavalier Crusaders," he said with a sense of camaraderie. "We support and uplift each other in our peaceful town, making sure we have a strong impact in our community and helping others around town."
As Gabrio finished speaking, the room filled with applause and appreciative smiles. Each of his friends from the Countryside Universe brought their unique qualities and stories to the group, enriching their experiences in their tranquil town. Gabriel couldn't help but feel a sense of unity and connection with his alternate versions and their incredible friends.
Gabriella, the genderbend counterpart of Gabriel, raised her hand to signify that she was ready to share about her friends from the Genderbend Universe. Gabriel smiled warmly, encouraging her to share her story.
"Okay boys!" Gabriella, fixing herself up. "Since I am the last one to go. Allow me to introduce you to my friends from the Genderbend Universe," Gabriella began, her voice filled with enthusiasm. "First up is Raymond, who is essentially the male version of Rachel. Raymond shares many of Rachel's qualities, but he also carries a secret than she has been hiding for the sake of everyone around her."
Gabriella's eyes sparkled with intrigue as she continued, "Raymond is someone who has a deeper understanding of the world around him and is fiercely protective of his loved ones. He shares a special bond with Portia de Spell, his wife, and is a devoted stepfather to Lennon, and an uncle to Jamesette, his niece."
She paused for a moment, allowing the image of Raymond's complex character to sink in, before moving on to Logan's genderbend counterpart. "Next is Logana," Gabriella said, a hint of admiration in her voice. "She is a warrior at heart, particularly when it comes to wrestling and even video games. Logana's determination and strength make her a formidable opponent, and she never backs down from a challenge."
Gabriella's eyes gleamed with excitement as she shared about Logan's counterpart, envisioning Logana's fierce spirit. "She has a boyfriend named Destin, a whale boy who shares his passion for physical pursuits and is his perfect match in both strength and spirit," she added.
Gabriella then shifted her focus to Adam's alternate version in the Genderbend Universe. "Next we have Addison," she continued, her voice tinged with admiration. "She is a technology wiz and an adventurer at heart. Addison loves to travel the world, exploring different places and experiencing diverse cultures. Her curiosity and expertise in technology make her an invaluable asset to her friends."
A smile graced Gabriella's face as she imagined Addison's adventurous spirit. "Melchior Jackson, formerly known as Melchior Ravenswood, is her loving husband and the Ghost Groom of the Phantom Manor," she added, emphasizing the unique bond between Addison and Melchior.
Gabriella then proceeded to introduce Toren's counterpart in the Genderbend Universe. "Meet Sera," she said, her voice filled with warmth. "She is a Jaquin girl and was adopted by Queen Veraga and her sons, Princess Skyla and Nica. Later, she was also adopted by Sir Marvin and Lady Robyn Hood, who raised her as their own." Her eyes shone with affection as she continued, "Sera's adventurous spirit and loyalty to her loved ones make her a true force to be reckoned with. Her love interest is Barka from The Owl House, and together they navigate the challenges of their world with courage and determination."
Finally, Gabriella turned her attention to Silver's counterpart in the Genderbend Universe. "Last but certainly not least is Silverina," she said, a genuine smile adorning her face. "Silverina is a Hispanic lesbian and shares a deep bond of friendship with the male versions of the Disney Princesses." Gabriella's voice continued on, "Her past love interest was Stagarina, but her current girlfriend is Lady Antonia, the daughter of the 7th Duke Vivino Draventon. Silverina's love and support for her friends and her unwavering dedication to her own identity make her a cherished member of our group."
As Gabriella finished speaking, the room filled with applause and appreciation for the diverse and captivating stories shared by each member of the Dream Defenders. Gabriella's introduction of her friends from the Genderbend Universe showcased the unique personalities and relationships that contributed to the group's strength and unity. The bonds they shared transcended traditional gender roles, embracing a world where everyone's identity and experiences were celebrated and cherished.
Gabriel, deeply touched by Gabriella's storytelling and the incredible alternate versions of their friends, looks at her to express his gratitude. "Thank you, Gabriella, for sharing these amazing tales about your friend from your alternate universe," he began, his voice filled with genuine appreciation. "Through your stories, we have been able to glimpse into the lives of our friends and see the incredible individuals they become in these different realities."
Gabriel turned to face everyone around the table. "I am grateful for each and every one of you who shared your stories," he said, his voice resonating with sincerity. "You have allowed us to explore the diverse facets of our friends' personalities and witness the unique paths they tread in these different worlds."
With a warm smile, Gabriel continued, "It's fascinating to see how my friends' experiences and relationships differ in each universe, yet their essence and the strength of their bonds remain constant. Love, friendship, and loyalty transcend any realm or dimension."
Gabriel expressed his voice with such affection. "I am honored to stand among such incredible individuals and call you all my friends," he said. "Your stories have enriched our understanding of one another, fostering a deeper connection and appreciation for the unique journeys we all undertake."
Gabriel paused for a moment, allowing the weight of his gratitude to settle upon them. "Let us continue to celebrate and cherish the diverse tapestry of our friendships," he concluded, his voice ringing with determination. "May we always be inspired by the boundless possibilities that exist within our shared stories, and may our bones grow stronger as we navigate the countless adventures that lie ahead."
As Gabriel finished his heartfelt words, the room filled with a sense of unity and camaraderie. The friends from different worlds stood together, appreciating the remarkable tapestry woven by their interconnected stories. With a renewed sense of purpose, they prepared to embark on new adventures, confident in the unbreakable bonds they shared.
The legacy of their friendship, now enriched by the tales of their alter egos, would continue to flourish, transcending the boundaries of time, space, and alternate realities.
But… this is far from over yet. There is one thing that he has in mind and that is one creature that he loves so dearly to his heart and sticks by him through thick and thin. One creature that he desperately to know how his special someone is in different universe and that someone:
