EARTH
As Emma and Aria sat in Ordinary Emma's room, the atmosphere was tense with anticipation. Aria's impatience was palpable, evident in the way she fidgeted with the edge of the bedsheet.

"How long are we going to wait? We've been here for ages," Aria muttered, her voice tinged with frustration. "Do you really think it will work?"

Emma glanced at Aria, her expression determined despite the uncertainty swirling within her. "Do we have any other option? All we can do is wait," she replied softly, her eyes fixed on the large wall mirror in front of them.

Suddenly, the room was bathed in a soft, ethereal glow emanating from the mirror. It shimmered with an otherworldly light, casting dancing shadows across the walls.

Aria gasped, her eyes widening in wonder. "What is it?" she whispered, her voice barely audible over the gentle hum of magic in the air.

Emma's heart raced with anticipation as she stood up, her gaze locked on the radiant mirror. "It's happening. It's Emma," she murmured, her voice filled with a mixture of excitement and trepidation. "Stay here. I'll talk to her first."

With cautious steps, Emma approached the mirror, her reflection wavering slightly in the luminous glow. As she drew closer, another figure materialized within the mirror - Emma.

The two Emmas stood facing each other, separated by the shimmering surface of the mirror. Time seemed to stand still as they regarded each other in silence, each lost in their own thoughts and emotions.

Ordinary Emma's eyes widened in disbelief as she took in the sight of her magical counterpart.

Magical Emma's gaze held a mix of curiosity and intrigue as she studied her counterpart. She had never encountered another version of herself before, and the encounter left her both fascinated and apprehensive.
For a moment, neither Emma spoke, the weight of their shared existence hanging heavy in the air between them. Then, finally, Magical Emma found her voice.

"So, I finally met you," she said, her tone tinged with a mix of curiosity and apprehension.

Ordinary Emma nodded slowly, her expression mirroring the uncertainty in Magical Emma's eyes. "Yes... same here," she replied softly.

Magical Emma shifted slightly, her gaze intense as she spoke. "Well, I don't think either of us are here to chat, so let's come to the point. How did you find the diary?"

Ordinary Emma hesitated for a moment before responding. "Angel Samuel said it was in your room, so while searching, I found it."

Magical Emma's eyes widened in surprise. "That means you read the future prediction," she remarked, her voice tinged with curiosity.

"Yes, but is it related to us?" Ordinary Emma asked, her brow furrowing with concern.

Magical Emma shrugged slightly, uncertainty flickering in her eyes. "I'm not sure. It may or may not be."

Ordinary Emma's mind raced with questions, her desire to return to her own world growing stronger by the second. "I want to return back to my own world," she stated firmly, her tone leaving no room for argument.

Magical Emma nodded in agreement, a flicker of determination crossing her features. "I'm also not excited to stay here," she admitted, her voice tinged with frustration.

"Tell me how to do so," Ordinary Emma pressed, her impatience evident in her tone.

Magical Emma sighed softly, running a hand through her hair in frustration. "Do you think I'm a magician?" she asked, her tone laced with sarcasm.

Ordinary Emma blinked in surprise, taken aback by the sudden shift in Magical Emma's demeanor. "Yes... you... are," she replied cautiously, unsure of where the conversation was heading.
