A Tale of Twisted Fate // Love Live Sunshine Fanfic

"Say...Aren't you gonna introduce yourself?" Chika–No, Dolly asks. Tilting her head.

Riko surprised at the question, had a hard time responding "O-Oh um, My name is—" Suddenly an unfamiliar name slips through her tongue "Lily Rosenapfel."

'Why did I say that name? I don't even know anyone named that...'

"Lily Rosenapfel....Lily Rosenapfel....Lily Rosenapfel..." Dolly continues muttering her name, writing it in the palm of her hand.

"Um...what are you doing?" Riko asks, confused. "I'm writing your name in the palm in my hand so I don't forget! My dad told me I was always forgetful and he taught me this trick!"

"Uh-huh..." Riko takes a glance again at her surroundings. Clear skies, green grass, fresh air, butterflies and birds flying about around them. It felt so surreal and enchanting.

"If you don't mind me asking...where are we exactly?" She asks. "Hm? We're in Evergreen Meadow....I think?" Dolly replied, quite unsure. "No-I mean...what country are we in?" Riko rephrased herself. "Oh! Neo Azure Lume!"

'Neo Azure Lume...? I've never heard of such a place...but it sounds more like a place in a storybook than in real life.'

"WAH! I just remembered something!" Dolly jumped in realization. "Eh? Wh-What is it!?" Riko asks in a panicked tone as she was startled. "I need to look for Tori and Teucer!" Dolly exclaims, curling her hands into fists in frustration.

"Tori and...Teucer?" Riko says in confusion. "They're my puppies! Oh god...where are they!? They couldn't have run off too far would they!?" Dolly bites her thumb, worried. 

The two girls heard barking from a distance. "That bark...THAT MUST BE THEM! Come on Lily!" Dolly grabs Riko's hand abruptly. "H-Hey! Slow down...!" Riko cries out trying to match Dolly's pace.

Once she caught up to her, Riko sees Dolly cuddling one of the puppies in her arms. "There you are! I was getting worried that you might've gotten lost!" She exclaimed as the puppy licked her cheek, before putting it down.

The 2 puppies bark happily while playing what looks like a golden ball. The ball was designed with glittery purple sparkles that reminded Riko of a certain senpai. Despite it looking like a literal ball of gold, it was bouncy...like an actual ball.

'Must've been expensive...' Riko thought. The ball suddently rolled towards her, and she picks it up. One of the puppies approaches her with a bark, startling her.

"Eep!" Riko instictively raises the ball towards her head, as if trying to defend herself. "Please don't hurt me...!" She pleads with a small voice.

"Oh! You found them Lily! C'mere little guys...!" Dolly kneels onto the grass to let the puppies back into her little basket. It seems that she was oblivious to the fact Riko was afraid of them.

"I'd love to chat more but I better keep going! Gotta follow the yellow brick road!" Dolly chuckles. "Ah, wait!" Riko tried calling out to her but she already ran off.

"Huh...I'm stuck here I guess..." Riko bounces the ball as she tries to think of something. "Hey stop that!!!" A tiny voice yells at her. "Oh! I'm sorry...!" She tried looking for the source but sees no one.

"Down here, puh-rincess!" The voice exclaimed. Riko takes a
closer look at one of the flowers and finds a tiny You sitting on top. "You...?
