Daycare Kids in Fairy Tail Origins

Chapter 1

AN: Hey guys this is a new story I'm starting. Since this is going to be confusing since there is both the regular FTO versions of Michael and Ritchie as well as the Daycare versions of Michael and Ritchie, we'll be referring to FTO Michael and Ritchie as Older Michael and Older Ritchie. Just makes it easier. One last thing before we get into the chapter, in the daycare world, I made it so Brandon's is Ritchie's older brother by five years so that we don't have someone unfamiliar for the kids to meet (or do we?) ALSO: The picture at the top was made by X1PandaFlamewX give her/him some love!

Michael and Ritchie woke up in a strange place. They weren't at the daycare anymore, but then, where were they? It was a long hall, they could see a little dining area as well as a trough with fire in it further down the hall. They didn't recognize this area. 

A few minutes later, they started hearing loud voices. 

"You sure that they said this was where they saw the lights coming from?" A familiar female voice asked. 

"Positive, not to mention I can feel through the shadows that there are a couple souls in there." Ritchie turned to Michael in surprise, that sounded like his voice!

"Lets go check out what it is then." Another familiar voice said. 

Five figures entered the hall they were in. Ritchie stood in front of Michael protectively after hearing the younger say. "Cousin Ritchie, I'm scared..."

Then the people came into view and the two groups could only stare at each other. Then Michael turned to Ritchie and asked. 

"Cousin Ritchie, am I hallucinating or is there an older version of me, a blue haired version of you, a darker version of Austin, a masked version of Bri, and an older version of Cousin Brandon standing in front of us?" 

"I was about to ask you the same thing." Ritchie told him. 

"Uh hello?" The older version of Michael asked. The two cousins looked at each other before Ritchie said stepping forward. "Greetings, my name is Ritchie and this is my Cousin Michael, it appears we've been spirited to another dimension or something."

"Hmmm, it does appear that these two have done the same thing we did." Brandon said to the older Ritchie. 

"Huh?" Ritchie asked. 

"Me and my brother went through a portal a long time ago that got us this dimension." Brandon explained. 

"But we never entered a portal?" Michael was confused. 

"Oh?" Older Ritchie asked. 

"Yeah, we were literally just sleeping and woke up here." Ritchie told him. 

"Oh gosh, godfather Austin is going to freak." Michael suddenly groaned as he leaned into his cousin's side. 

"Wait godfather?" The darker version of Austin asked in shock. 

"Yeah we were at his and Bri's daycare and well they're going to freak when they find out we're gone." Michael told him. 

"Correcation, godfather Austin is going to throw a party now that we're gone." Ritchie said with a smirk. 

"Nah, godfather Austin is too afraid of our fathers to throw a party." Michael shook his head. 

"I'm finding it hard to believe my younger self has Silver as a godfather." Older Michael admitted. 

"Hey I run a guild by myself, is it so hard to believe?" Silver demanded to know. 

"A guild does not equal children." Older Michael told him with a knowing look in his eyes. 

"To be fair, he and Bri have how many children in our dimension?" Ritchie turned to his cousin uncertain to the amount, not noticing Silver's blush or Bri's shocked look. 

"At least six but I think its actually more since Brady and Jaxton both mentioned having twins." Michael told him. 

"I have more than six kids in your dimension?" Silver asked still in shock before adding. "And I get together with Bri?"

The last question shocked the cousins the most out of anything they had encountered yet in this dimension. They weren't together here?

"You're not together in this world?" Ritchie asked, his shock showing very obviously. 

"Didn't think we'd find something more shocking than seeing other versions of ourselves." Michael admitted.

"The fact that we're not together is the most shocking part about all of this?" Bri asked in complete disbelief. 

"You don't understand, in our world, you two are the couple that everyone wants their relationship to be. Minimum fights, fluidness in working together, and constant love even after all the kids you've had. The fact that you're not in a relationship here is just weird." Michael informed her. 

"Its like if Brandon weren't my big brother! Completely insane." Ritchie tacked on. 

"We're twins..." Older Ritchie decided to cut into that and Ritchie looked at him in slight surprise. "Huh in my world, Brandon's about five years older than me."

"Huh." Older Ritchie didn't know what to say to that so instead he asked. "How old are you two?"

"I'm four, Ritchie is five." Michael told him. 

"You seem well spoken for four and five." Brandon commented. 

"Certified genius." Michael held up his hand. 

"I have to keep up with him." Ritchie said ruffling his cousin's hair. "Hey!"

The adults chuckled slightly at the indignant look on the small Michael's face. Michael straightened his hair before he turned to the adults. "Anyway, any idea how we can get home?"

Older Ritchie and Brandon got an uneasy look on their faces and the cousins both knew what that meant. "Let me guess, you don't know a way back."

"No, that would be something we'd have to research." Brandon said but the cousins both knew that look. They had seen it on their fathers' faces too often. 

Ritchie turned to Michael and whispered. "You got any ideas cousin?"

"Some, not very feasible though, I'll have to think on it more and see if my summoning power works here." Michael whispered back. (Quick AN: Michael's summoning power is based on how in the daycare series he occasionally goes into creative mode).

Ritchie nodded before Michael let out a yawn. The older of the two put an arm around the younger, even if he was feeling pretty tired himself. They were only kids afterall. He looked up at the adults and asked. "Do you know if there's somewhere we can sleep?"

The adults' eyes softened. Bri walked forward and offered her hand. Ritchie took it but then his eyes flickered to Michael, whose eyes had started to drift closed even as he tried to stay awake. Silver gently picked up the younger version of Michael and placed him on his hip. 

"Your house, love?" Silver asked quietly.

"For now." Bri nodded. 

AN: And that's it for the first chapter! I hope you guys enjoyed. I will say one thing though, this book will not be updated as often as my oneshot book, mostly because I have to really focus on the story for this one. My one shot book will still be updated regularly though!
