Ash's POV

I wake up. I am lying on a cold crunchy heap. I pick up a handful. It's snow. A million questions are running through my mind. Where am I? Why am I here? What is that weird monster thing over there? Why is it coming towards me with a murderous look on its face? Why is it reaching out about to attack me? I scream and dart out of the way just in time as it barrels past. I see some stairs made of red pavers. Why red pavers? I sprint up the stairs as fast as my legs will carry me and collapse gasping as the top. A group of very surprised looking children stare at me, as though I am an alien from outer space, to be exact. Why are they doing that? Anyway... I push open the gate and they all take a few cautious steps back.

"Hey can you maybe help me out here." I ask still gasping for air to feel my starving lungs. They just stare. "Hello? I am still here." One of the older boys nudges a younger girl with pretty black hair that shines in the feeble sunlight and bright green eyes. Like grass. She runs off and returns a few minutes later with a superior looking man. He looks a lot like a teacher. That's when I notice all the kids are wearing the same clothing. It's a red blazer with a white shirt underneath. They have a blueish tie and gold buttons. I am starting to like this uniform. (I think it's a uniform.) The boys have long trousers with a gold trim at the bottom, while the girls have a skirt, also with a gold trim at the bottom. The man walks over to me and scrutinises me. I feel uncomfortable and start shifting from foot to foot. He places a gloved hand on my shoulder to keep me still and stares directly into my eyes.

"Welcome to Swimedimples Academy," is all he says before leading me away from the other children who are staring at me, deciding whether to like me or not I am guessing.

Corrine's POV

Awww reality go away I like hanging out in my little unconscious bubble. That stupid little slither of reality wormed its way into my bubble and pop! I wake up in a winter wonderland. I begin to shiver in my thin cotton pyjamas and look around for some kind of civilisation. I soon spot one in the distance and try to stand up to go to it but my legs have gone all frozen and just collapse when I try to stand. I'm guessing my lips have turned blue when I spot a tree quite close to me. If I could just crawl over to it...

**********

Quite a while later I make it to the tree and use it to support myself as I attempt to stand. The first few times I fail miserably, but, on what feels like the a millionth time I manage to stand.

"Yay!" I shout, glad that I can stand up again.

********

After walk/stumbling for a looooong time I make it to the building when something lands on me from behind. Sharp claws dig into my back and I scream. I can feel the warm, sticky blood running down my back. I am going to die. Just at that moment a small girl with vibrant turquoise hair and bright blue eyes comes out of nowhere and hits whatever is on top of me with a really cool looking wand. It jumps off me and I turn my head to look at it. It's a yellow wolf wearing some kind of blue rags. The beast roars again as the girl hits it. After about two minutes of her hitting it it just disappears. I'm guessing it's dead.

"Are you ok?" She asks coming over to me.

"Uh... No, not really." My vision is getting a bit fuzzy. She leans over and examines my back.

"Omg! This is bad! We have to get you to the nurses immediately!" I don't really feel in the mood for walking to nurses so I just continues to lay there when a purple haired girl comes out. Boy, everyone in this world thingo sure has weird hair colours.

"Aqua wha-" And the world goes black.

Hope's POV

Come on! First, I wake up super early. Second, I get warped to another place. Thirdly, in this other place I wake up on top of a toilet! I mean come on! Who gets warped to another world and wakes up on top of a toilet?! I sneak out of the cubicle and that's when I see the sign. Boy's bathrooms! This is just getting better and better. I leave the bathrooms and try to get as far away from them as possible. I continue walking when I run into someone. I fall onto the floor and look up to see who I had crashed into. It's an old man. He is wearing purple robes and has silvery hair and a silvery beard. He looks down at me. We just stare at each other for a while when I decide this it getting really awkward and I break the silence.

"Ummmm......" Yep, really professional of me. "How old are you? 89?"

"I'm the headmaster of this school."

"Ohhhhhh... Um... You um........ You uhh look really young... Yep totally..." Well, this is awkward. Wait school?!

"What do you mean school?"

"I mean this is a school called Swinedimples Academy." That's when it clicks. The school, me previously play dragon quest 9 and the fact that the school has the same name as the school in dragon quest 9. I have gone to another world, or into the game. My brain starts freaking out and I nearly start screaming. I start flapping my arms and jumping up and down and the headmaster just stares. I guess not even an young 89 year old could figure out why I was flapping around and jumping.

"Omg yay! Wait! No! Wait yay! Yayayayayay! Nooooo!" I scream running around, still not sure what to think.

A bit later I manage to pull myself together.

"Um Mr Headmaster sir, I was wondering if I could, you know, sign up."

"Sure!" He says brightly, "We always want new students." I smile in relief. I did NOT want to be stuck in this world as some poor dude at Dourbridge.

"Thanks sir... Um... I kinda need a uniform."

"Yes I will organise for that to be arranged. There should be something your size." This principal is epic! I just show up and he signs me up and gets me a uniform.

"Thank you!" I say, trying to contain my joy. I go to leave when the principal rests his hand on my shoulder.

"We should get you a dormitory hm?"

"Oh yes!"

"Room 42. Here's map but if you need any help just ask the students, they would be more than happy to help."

Yes thank you!!!" I shout before sprinting down the corridor and begin finding my room.

Lena's POV

Urgh. The ground beneath me is cold, hard and wet. I quickly jump up, the feeling of icy water seeping through your pyjamas is not nice. The landscape is quiet and still, with a thick layer of snow covering the ground. I hear weak chirping coming from behind me and I turn to look where it is coming from. There is a tiny yellow bird on the ground.

"Aww are you ok?" I ask scooping it up. Now there is one thing I absolutely hate, seeing animals in pain. I hear a stronger louder chirping coming from above. It's the baby birds mother. I carefully cradle the bird and can just reach high enough to let is slip into the nest. The bird chirps appreciatively and I smile in delight. I love helping all animals. I turn around when something barrels into me.

I scream as I feel strong arms grab me and lift me up off the ground.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!!" I scream as it squishes me in its strong grip. It falters.

I scream again. It drops me. I stand there in shock for a second before sprinting away from it.

How did I do that? I turn and see a boy hacking at the monster with a sword. So that's why it dropped me. He yells and bring his sword in an arc onto the monsters shoulder and it disappears without a trace. I gasp. What was that? He jogs over to me.

"You k?" He asks.

"Uh... Yeah I'm... Fine."

"You wanna come with me?" He asks.

"Uh... Sure." He grabs my hand and pulls me towards some sort of building place.

"Oh by the way, my name is Jake," he says. He winks then pulls me towards a big building.
