Prologue

White. Everything was white. You shut your eyes tightly. Fuzzy shapes of red and blue and yellow just seemed to swirl behind your eyelids.

A buzzing noise was making your head spin even worse.

Did I faint? You thought briefly. You were sitting in your history class the last thing you remembered.

"Uuughhh..." You muttered. The buzzing noise faded slightly and you heard faraway voices.

"What is she wearing...?"

"Macao, stop ogling her."

"I am NOT!"

There was the muffled sound of a punch.

"Look, she's coming round!"

You blinked and opened your eyes, the blurry shapes morphing into figures. You found yourself looking up into the faces of some familiar people. However, they were so far from belonging in front of you. They were from your favourite anime, Fairy Tail. Of the people around you, you only recognised a few. Macao was there, as was his buddy, you forgot his name. The one with the pipe. Your favourites, Gray, Natsu, Erza, Lucy, Gajeel and the rest were nowhere to be seen.

"Dear god, how hard did I hit my head?" You groaned.

"We don't know. You just sort of appeared in the middle of the room."

You rubbed your eyes, sitting up.

"I must've hit my head really really hard. You all look like Fairy Tail people."

"Fairy Tail...people?" The one who looked like Macao said. "You know of our guild?"

"Funny, guys. Just get me to the doctors or whatever, because what I'm seeing right now is super trippy."

"What do you mean? This is real..."

You looked around. The last thing you remembered was your class. This was definitely not your class. It didn't smell like it either. It smelt of liquor and some kind of metal. It most definitely looked like Fairy Tail. But that was impossible. Fairy Tail was a story. Your favourite story, admittedly, but still a story.

"This is...real?" You asked shakily.

"Welcome to Fairy Tail." The one with the pipe, whose name you now recalled to be Wakaba, said.

"What happened to this place?" It looked considerably dirtier that it had ever appeared in the anime.

"Everything..." One of them said miserably. It did look awful. It must be Natsu, you figured. Him and Gray were fighting and that's why it looked trashed. If this was indeed Fairy Tail and you really were in some crazy anime fantasyland, you knew enough about those two to convince them to trust you. Plus, they were probably the ones most likely to help you.

"I...I'm looking for a Natsu Dragneel." You said hesitantly. Someone sniffled from behind Wakaba and they all looked downcast.

"I'm afraid he is...gone." Macao said grimly.

"Gone? But this is Fairy Tail, right?" You blurted, feeling panicked.

"They've been gone for five years. Five years." He clenched his fists.

Five years. Oh no...Tenrou? You thought. The island. They're still there. Looking around, all of the main characters were missing. Natsu, Gray, Mirajane, the Master. Reedus was slimmer and Droy was fat. I've come to this place during that time skip..when Fairy Tail was a place of grief, not safety. But you had no idea how to get home.

"What's your name?" A boy's voice said. He pushed his way past Macao and knelt down next to you. Romeo...

"I'm _. And I think I might need some help."
