Suddenly, the room seemed to be full of animals; Emmett was running in circles screaming, Edward's eyes got big and round and blank and he muttered some unknown language, Zuko was curled up in fetal position and rocking back and forth, muttering a similar unknown language, Jayfeather began stuffing himself with kittypet food in attempt to make himself like it, and Aang went into the Avatar State. Lindsay and Sammi stared at the chaos with wide eyes. "What do we do?" Sammi asked. "What can we do?" Lindsay replied, walking over to the couch. She sat down and turned on the TV. Suddenly a lightbulb appeared above Sammi's head. Eureka! Who says "eureka"? Um... I do? Well, you shouldn't... it's lame. What are you doing here anyway? I thought I told you to leave me alone! Too bad! "GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!" Sammi's scream grabbed the attention of all the characters. They snapped out of their craziness and turned to her. "Um... everything okay, Sammi?" Lindsay asked. "Yeah... I'm fine... OH! And I have an idea!" She stood there, grinning. "Would you like to share it with us?" Edward prompted. "Oh, right. Yes I would. Before I was so rudely interrupted, I thought of a way to hopefully show you guys what we mean about you coming from fictional universes." "OHHH! I see where you're going with this!" Lindsay jumped up and down. "Well, I don't," Zuko added. "Can we just get this over with?" "Okay Mr. GrumpyPants, prepare to be amazed," Lindsay said. She started flipping channels on the TV. "You come here too, Aang," Sammi said. Finally Lindsay found Avatar. "Oh hey it's the finale!" Sammi exclaimed. It was just where Sokka, Suki, Zuko, Katara, and Toph went to meet Jun. "Whoa... what... how..." Aang stammered. "I don't understand," Zuko sighed, shaking his head. "You don't exist in this world," Sammi started. "None of you do. Everyone believes that you're just fictional characters made up by some TV producers or authors. You and your lives were drawn up and written out to entertain people." "Aang and Zuko are from a cartoon TV show called Avatar: The Last Airbender," Lindsay added. "Edward and Emmett are from a book series called The Twilight Saga, and Jayfeather is from a book series called Warriors." "By the way, guys... you should know that Lindsay and I are just as weirded out as all of you. We didn't see this coming. I mean, it's awesome, but a shocker. And not everyone in this universe will welcome you like we did, so as long as you're staying here - however long that may be - we have to keep an extremely low profile." "We're staying here?" Edward asked, looking baffled. "Well where else are we supposed to go?" Emmett pointed out lightly. Edward ran his fingers through his hair. "But, our family... and Bella." He turned to his brother, a look of desperation in his eyes. "I can't just leave her. She's not safe... she won't know what's going on... and who's supposed to tuck her in at night?! You can be damn sure that I'm not letting no stinking werewolf tuck my Bell-Bell in, no sir!" "Calm down buddy, it'll be okay, I pro-" "I need to be alone." After cutting off his brother, Edward fumbled off down the hall way. "Someone's PMS-ing..." Lindsay mumbled in a sing-song voice. "Is he gonna be okay?" Sammi wondered. "Yeah, he'll be fine. He just needs a good hun-- cry! He just needs a good cry," Emmett caught himself. "Emmett. We know you're vampires, remember? We read the books about you," Lindsay reminded him. "Oh, yeah..."

After Zuko had come out of his mini panic attack he glanced up at Lindsay and Sammi. "Why is there purple stuff coming from the sky then?" Sammi and Lindsay shared a quick glance. "We have no idea. It must have something to do with the fictional worlds coming together or some crazy shiz like that." Lindsay shrugged. "How will we get back?" He demanded. "I don't know!" Lindsay shouted finally snapping. "At first I thought this was cool but now it's just freaking me out!" She shook her head. "I need sometime to think." She decided and headed off in the direction of Sammi's room. She lay alone in there for awhile staring at the ceiling wondering what to do with her new friends. Not that she could count the emo group of guys as her friends but- wait, GUYS. All the people that had come through so far were guys. Did that mean anything or was that just a coinsidince? "Hey um, Lindsay?" The door creaked open and she looked over to see Aang peaking through the door. "I just wanted to come make sure you were okay. Zuko freaked out and ran downstairs, Sammi followed him and Emmett went to find Edward. So, I fiqured that I'd check on you." She smiled at him. "I'm fine. I just needed to clear my head. I'm still trying to fiqure everything out, but I'm coming up short. How about you?" He laughed lightly. "No luck. I'm just as confused as you are." She sighed. "I wish that we could have a at least a hint as of what is going to happen next." Aang nodded in understanding. "Yeah when I was fighting Ozai, I-" Lindsay gasped. "WAIT." Aang blinked in confusion. "What?" "If you guys are here, that means that bad guys could be here too. Bad guys from all different kinds of places, with powers and evil plans. People like Ozai." She realized for the first time. Aang's eyes widened. They were in for more than anyone could have imagened.

When Zuko bolted downstairs Sammi followed him immediately. She knew Lindsay would be okay. Her friend just needed some time to think. She reached the bottom of the steps and looked around for Zuko. Her downstairs basement was fairly small. It was kind of like a second livingroom. There were three sections, all connected by doors; the first section was the one you entered right into from the stairway - it had couches, a TV, her father's fancy fishtank and the computer; another was her older sister's former bedroom; and the last was more garage-y, with the washing machine & dryer and tool-like things. This third part also had a garage door leading outside. Sammi spotted Zuko sitting very stiffly on a dark blue airmchair against the wall. She walked over and quietly sat down the matching couch. "Do you want to talk?" she asked him. He just sat there looking straight ahead. She tried again. "Would you rather I left you alone?" He looked at her now. "No, you're okay. This is all just kind of overwhelming, you know? I have to think about it." "Oh. I understand. I'm pretty confused too. Like Lindsay said, at first I thought this would be fun but it's actually kind of serious." "It's very serious." "Yeah." There was a bit of an awkward pause and Sammi was about to leave Zuko to his thoughts, but he began to speak again. "I mean, I'm supposed to be Fire Lord right now. An entire nation is going to wake up tomorrow morning or whatever time it is there and realize that their leader is just gone. Everyone is going to think that I got scared and ran away. I've been Fire lord for barely a month and I've already failed." "You didn't fail. None of this is your fault," Sammi insisted. "And who is going to believe that? Who's going to believe any of this?!" He raised his voice a bit, and his face was more angry than glum now. "What am I supposed to tell everyone? That I was spontaneously projected into another universe where I don't even exist? Is that was I should say to the people that are relying on me? The people that need me and that I am responsible for?!" Sammi knew that Zuko was just letting out his frustration and wasn't actually angry at her, though she couldn't help but feel hurt by the way he was yelling. She swallowed hard and stood up to leave. "Sammi, wait." She waited. "I'm just... under a lot of pressure right now. There are people in my nation who haven't fully forgiven me yet. Some of them are literally just waiting for me to screw up. They don't believe I've changed. I just don't want to prove them right. I'm not angry at you. I'm sorry." "Apology accepted," she answered, grinning. "Just don't ever yell at me like that again, mm'kay? Mm'kay. Now let's go see what the others are up to."

"What is Starclan's name is that thing?" Lindsay sighed. On top of all this other crap, teaching Jayfeather to be a kittypet was not going well. "For the last time, it's a scratching post. You use it to sharpen your claws." She explained for the third time. "That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. I want to use a tree!" He hissed. "Fine you want to go back outside in the purple snow, be my guest!" She motioned to the door even though she knew he couldn't see. He grumbled in annoyance and began to try out the post. She let out a long sigh and sent Aang a half smile. She walked over to where he was sitting on the couch and plopped down next to him. "I wonder what everyone is doing?" She wondered. "They've been gone for a while." "Just give them some time to think." Aang advised. She nodded and Jayfeather came over to sit on the floor by them. "So I was thinking about Sammi's forest theory." He meowed as he settled down next to them. "What about it?" Lindsay asked. "If you have to be in a forest to get sent here, where is the rest of my clan?" He meowed. That threw her. "Maybe the forest theory isn't right, it's just a theory after all." "Well I think it's time we find a new theory." He grumbled. Suddenly Emmett came bounding down the hall, followed by a very grumpy looking Edward. "Sup?- Hey I never did get your names." Emmett asked lounging on the only open couch in the room. "Oh right!" Lindsay gasped doing a face palm. "How rude of me! I'm Lindsay. This is Aang." She motioned to him. "And that's Jayfeather." She pointed at the cat. "Why can he talk?" Edward demanded. "Why can you talk?" Jayfeather hissed. "Ohhhh touche!" Emmett laughed. "I don't know," Lindsay admitted. "I don't know the answers to any of your questions, to be honest, and I know that must be frustrating for you all, but we have to do our best to figure out whats going on." "Well we aren't going to get much done by sitting here and waiting for something to happen!" Jayfeather complained. "He's right. He have to go outside and get to the bottom of this." Sammi's voice came as she entered the room, with Zuko behind her. Lindsay chuckled. "Okay 1. You totally just sounded like Fred from Scooby Doo. 2. Edward and Emmett, meet Sammi and Zuko. 3. ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FLIPPING MIND I'M NOT GOING OUTSIDE!" "What other choice do we have?" She asked. "I guess your right, but what are we going to do about it. It's not like we all have super powers!"she motioned to their company. Sammi sighed. "I know, I know. Let's just start by figuring out what the purple stuff is." Lindsay sighed, "Fine. Let's move out troops!" She made her way over to the door, Aang and Sammi following. Everyone else seemed to linger inside. "Hey do you want to return to your own universes or what?" She complained. That out everyone moving out the door. Outside, the sky was an eerie indigo color and the ground was blanketed in the strange purple stuff. Sammi poked it with her finger. "It's so weird, it feels like snow, but it isn't cold!" Meanwhile Aang was waving his hands over it. After a few moments he began to look frustrated. Lindsay giggled. "Aang what are you doing?" He ignored her question. "I can't bend it! It isn't even water!"

Sammi's jaw dropped. "Seriously?! Then what the hell is it?!" Aang just shook his head. "I... I don't know! I've never seen anything like this before." Sammi sighed deeply. She hadn't seen anything like this before, either. None of them had. All she knew was that this could not be good. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but something about the purple substance felt dark and ominous, like some kind of warning. "Does it feel... off to you guys?" she wondered aloud. "What do you mean?" Lindsay asked. "I mean, does anything about this purple stuff feel weirdly to you, in a bad way?" "Oh, well, yeah," her friend replied. "I thought about it before but I wasn't quite sure." "I feel it," Zuko chimed in. Emmett and Edward nodded. "The stuff falling from the sky isn't any of the elements. There is definitely something wrong with it," Aang agreed. "We need to get to the bottom of this," Jayfeather insisted. The rest of the group muttered their agreements and it fell silent - but only for a moment. "What is this purple shit?!" A shrill voice came from the trees next to Sammi's house. Everyone looked over to their right to see a girl appearing to be around the age of seventeen. Her long blonde hair fell about her as she struggled to get through branches. She was definitely not dressed for winter in her black high-heeled ankle boots, mini skirt, and pink t-shirt. "Um, a little help here would be nice!" she called over to the group. Emmett rushed over using his vampire-speed and pushed the tree branches out of the way for the girl, allowing her to have a clear path. "Thank you." She didn't say it like she meant it. She strutted (or more accurately, attempted to strut but ended up tripping up in the snow) to Sammi and her new friends, Emmett trailing behind her. When she got to them she pushed her hair out of her face and took a short, loud breath. "Now, before I get into another unattractive jam and need to request help from a human again, would any of you be so kind to tell me where the fuck I am?" Sammi looked to Lindsay and could tell they were thinking the same thing. Aphrodite. Then another thought. She is not going to respond well when we tell her that she's a fictional character...

Lindsay threw her hands in the air. "That's it! I give up!" Sammi sent her a serious look but Lindsay shook her head. "Nope, I was okay with Jayfeather, and even Aang and Zuko. But then the Vampires start showing up? Seriously? And if they're here where is Darth Vader and the Jedi? Are there going to be Transformers joining us too? I'm kind of freaking out here!" "Hey I'm not a Vampyre, I'm a Prophetess." Aphrodite corrected. "Oh whoop de-doo! As if that makes a difference!" Lindsay groaned. "I don't understand, who is this?" Aang asked. "Aphrodite, meet Aang, Zuko, Jayfeather, Edward, Emmett and Sammi. Guys meet Aphrodite." She introduced them. "How the hell do you know who I am? And who are you anyway?" She demanded. "I'm Lindsay, and I'm running this shindig! ...Well Sammi's helping..." She trailed off. Aphrodite's eyes narrowed, "You're obviously not fledglings..." "Obviously." Lindsay agreed. "Then what are you?" She asked pointedly. "Well, Jayfeather's a talking cat, Zuko and Aang can do magic kungfu, Edward and Emmett are Vampires with an I, and me and Sammi are humans. Welcome to the party." Suddenly a new voice came, "Hey is that Aphrodite over there?" "Yeah, I think it is her." Another agreed. "Come on lets go see what she's doing!" Said a third. Lindsay groaned. "There has to be more!" Sammi rolled her eyes at her, "Lindsay I know this is confusing, but be polite!" The three newcomers appeared from the woods, a blonde with crazy red tattoos, a boy with dark brown hair, and a blonde boy. "Why do you losers have to show up everywhere?" Aphrodite complained. The blonde girl ignored her and greeted her company. "Hey ya'll, I see you've met my friend Aphrodite. She can be a bit nasty at sometimes don't take it to personal." "Stevie Rae." Lindsay and Sammi had already known, but they easily confirmed it with her accent in place. "Wow, how do ya'll know my name?" She wondered. "Do you know my name?" The blonde boy cut in with a high excited voice. "Jack!" Sammi squealed. Lindsay snorted at her friend but smiled anyway and motioned to the dark haired boy, "And Damien." "How do you know this?" Damien asked fascinated. Everyone in Sammi and Lindsay's group exchanged nervous glances. "You might want to sit down for this." Sammi warned.

"So we're... we're not real?" Jack's voice was unusually flat as he, Damien, and Stevie Rae flipped through a House of Night book. Sammi and Lindsay had just finished explaining everything to them and Aphrodite. The other fictional characters even chimed in a few times to help, as if they were used to it by now. "Didn't you hear them, Gay Boy?" Aphrodite retorted, searching Sammi's kitchen cabinets (probably for anything alcoholic). "We're FICTIONAL. I would re-cap on the definition but I'm sure Mr. I Know Everything can tell you. Ohmigod, is there no wine in this universe?!" Sammi realized that Aphrodite was not as fun in real life. She wondered how the other characters would get along with her and got a sudden mental image of Jayfeather scratching her eyes out. She sat down on the floor next to Jack, Damien, Stevie Rae, and Lindsay, who was still explaining things to them. "It's gonna be okay guys," her friend assured the three. "We don't know what this purple stuff is or who's behind this universe-clashing but we're going to find out." "Yeah," Sammi added. "With all of our different strengths combined we're bound to be the ones to stop all this." "You really think so?" Jack sniffled. "Of course they do, honey," Damien said in attempt to soothe his boyfriend. It seemed to be working. "It's going to be alright." "Awww, them two are cuter than a kitten in a barrel of cotton, ain't they?" Stevie Rae commented. Everyone giggled except for Jayfeather, who just scowled and licked his chest fur self-consciously. There was a new sense of calm in the air, making everyone feel a little more hopeful. Lindsay sighed. "The only thing that could make this moment better is Damon Salvatore!" Ding-dong! the doorbell signaled. "Oh, I wonder who that could be!" Lindsay ran to the front door and threw it open to reveal a stunning yet slightly rugged-looking guy, aged at about 23, wearing neat black jeans and a casual jacket that made Sammi want to die. He smirked, his ice blue eyes flashing, and asked casually, "May I come in?"

Lindsay shook Sammi's shoulders like a madwoman. "LET HIM IN!" Sammi sputtered, "Ummm, co-come in..." He smirked, "Why thank you," And pushed past them into the living room. Aphrodite came back in from the kitchen with a bottle of wine that looked like it was at least 10 years old, and eyed Damon up and down before asking, "Okay, who the hell is this?" Zuko and Aang looked between Damon then Lindsay and Sammi with disproving looks on their faces. Damon was beginning to look confused now, "Are you guys having a party or something? Who are all you people?" Lindsay managed to stop ogling him for enough time to introduce herself. "Um, I'm Lindsay and this is Sammi. It's her house. This is Damien, Jack, Aphrodite, Stevie Rae, Aang, Zuko, Edward, Emmett, and Jayfeather." She motioned to everyone. "You do realize that I forgot all of your names the moment you said them." He snatched the whine bottle from Aphrodite and took a gulp. She stared at him with a face that clearly said, Oh no you didn't. Lindsay couldn't help but giggle. "So," he said lounging on Sammi's couch like he belonged there. "Is anyone going to tell me what is with the purple snow or tell me how I ended up in your front yard?" Lindsay and Sammi sighed. They just finished this story not five minutes ago. Sammi looked at Lindsay, "Do you have any episodes of Vampire Diaries on your ipod?" Lindsay scurried down the hall to get her i pod. She pulled up an episode and handed it to Damon. "What does this have to do with anything?" He muttered under his breath. After a few seconds of him watching, he appeared on screen. He was so surprised he dropped the ipod. "What the hell do you stalk me or something?" "Damon-" Sammi began. "I don't have any other way to tell you this but, you're a fictional character." He stared at her for a few moments before saying, "I know that I may be so good looking it's hard to comprehend I'm real but-" "Your name is Damon Salvatore, you have a brother named Stefan who you don't get along with, you're favorite color is black, you are an acholic, and a vampire." Lindsay cut in. Damon's mouth hung open, "How-" "There is a book series and a TV show based you you." Sammi sighed, "You're a fictional character, you're not the only one here either, these guys are all in the same boat as you. They are all from books, movies, and tv shows." Damon just stared at them like they were insane for a few moments. Then he just shrugged and took another gulp of wine. Lindsay snorted. "That went well."

Sammi took a deep breath in and then exhaled very slowly. So everyone knew. She hoped there weren't any more characters coming anytime soon. This was already a train wreck waiting to happen. She looked around the livingroom. It seemed like the tension in there was thick enough to slice with a knife. No one could really sit or stand still, they had to at least tap their foot or rub their arm, do anything but nothing. She swallowed her discomfort and went to get Lindsay, who was in the dining room trying to coax Jayfeather into eating kittypet food. "Just try it! It's awesome, I swear." "Why don't you eat it, then?" "Because I'm a human, duh. Now, eat!" "Never!" The warrior shook his head in disgust. Lindsay sighed. "I tried." "Jayfeather, you can go outside and find a squirrel or something if you want," Sammi suggested. "I suppose it will have to do," he said flatly. Sammi slid open the back door and he ran out quickly. She left it slightly open for him to return later. "So, what now?" Lindsay asked. "I wanted to talk to you about that... how do we go about all of this?" Her friend shrugged, then her face lit up and she ran into the living room. Sammi followed and watched as Lindsay cupped her hands around her mouth and announced loudly, "FAMILY MEETING!" All the characters stopped chatting and stared at Lindsay and Sammi with quizzical looks on their faces. "Good, now that I have your attention, we'd like to, uh..." "...Discuss some things," Sammi finished for her. "Yeah. I was going to say that. So to get right down to business, here's what we need to do: find out who is behind all this purple crap/universe clashing and why, combine our awesome diverse strengths, and BEAT THAT SUCKER DOWN!" Lindsay said enthusiastically. Sammi shook her head in disbelief but knew what her friend said was right. All of this couldn't be happening on its own; there must be someone or something doing it, and that force must be stopped. "So first-" "Whoa whoa, what's with the blonde chick? She doesn't look so hot," Damon interrupted, staring over at Aphrodite. "Aphrodite, look at me, are you okay?" Jack asked, waving his hand in front of her face. She was pale-white, her blue eyes quickly turning red and mouth hanging half-open. Her body began to shake violently and Damien and Jack lowered her to the ground. "What's wrong?!" Aang asked in horror. A wave of realization passed over Stevie Rae's face, and the usual joyful tone she spoke with was not present in her voice when she said, "Aphrodite's having a vision."
