A bright light streams in through your open blinds, shocking you into consciousness.

"Plume..." You mumble, pulling your covers higher, "Turn it off." Your checkered sheets are warm from the sun, lapsing you back into slumber.

Plume, your pristinely white Exceed flutters about the room, preparing herself for the day's activities. She ignores you, instead turning to make a louder racket, dropping pots and pans around you.

Your annoyance in your familiar finally coaxes you up, as the next time she flies by, you yank her tail. She cries out, "It's almost noon! You can't stay in bed forever!"

You grimace, throwing your covers over your flying cat. She fumbles around under them, before breaking free, frazzled. Your hair is a mess when you look in the mirror, and your nightgown hangs unbound over your near-bare shoulders.

Casually, as you are, you tell your Exceed to prepare herself by freshening up in the bathroom. She prances out the door, as you lock it, and poker-face yourself back into bed. You can hear the shock and banging on the wall.

___

Dressing in a simple white t-shirt, an ombre-styled red skirt, and a tennis cap, you sonder around the market, determined to get a good deal. You walk around for seemingly hours, until you finally reach a shadowy building.

"I really don't think it's a good idea to..." Your companion in a butterfly-patterned kimono dress starts, as you open the door and waltz into the shop.

"Who knows? They might have a good cape to match this-" You point to the crown clip your friend gave you. Your hair is always let loose, all but a few bobby pins keeping it fluffy and in-shape.

The shop owner greets you kindly, as you swagger over to a crisp, new mantle. It looks like a royal prince's- white body, red outline, coupling with a few grey streaks. You pick it up, realizing that it's incredibly light, almost like it isn't there...

Your eyes widen, and your upper lip twitches in a grin.

'Magic cape!'

Plume's head follows yours, surely coming to the same conclusion. She nods, urging you to test it out.

You carefully swing it on, your thoughts fill with 'invisible, invisible, invisible'.

"Uhhh... (Y/N)?" Plume ponders. You nuzzle your hand onto her head. Plume jumps back in surprise. "Gah!" she screams, unaware of your presence.

"Plume... get my purse."

___

Carefully placing every currency you have except for some loose change on the counter, you parade around the shop with your brand new cape. You watch the mirrors, admiring yourself, trying out different poses.

*CRASH*

A strong force rams into you.

It acts fast, switching your body with theirs, throwing you towards the open air. You can't help but notice it's rock-solid physique.

The mirrors shatter to pieces on the figure. They clatter upon the ground. A thousand years of bad luck, a voice says in your head.

"Are you okay?" The sharp black eyes ask. Blood streams down his freshly cut body.

"Natsu! I told you not to mess around!" A chirpy sound scolds.

The boy grins, as you examine both of the foreigners. Your savior wears an open vest, simple, tan pants, and a patterned white scarf. You cock your head at the fact that he openly displays his pecs and abs, sharly toned- not that you mind.
