Chapter Text

 

You went to the dorm room after you realize it's already a long night.

 

┌──❀*̥˚───❀*̥˚─┐

 

Maybe if you can't find any of those shrouds. You can take a sleep on their air condition room. Grim probably gonna party and eat all night anyway.

 

When you passes the mirror of chamber, you found it locked but say no thoughts about it as you continue your way to the dorm of Ignihyde.

 

"Hey..." You starts as you open the door to the lobby of the dorm. You soon greeted by Ignihyde student who rather play games than party.

 

"Hey, Prefect Yuu." Few of your aacquaintance and folks that know your a #1 visitor of the shroud brothers waved at you.

 

"You all don't go to the party?" You look confuse to the students. They all made a face that says the same thing: disgusted. " Ew. We have a tournament for this game tonight either way." Dorm member C says before going back to the game his playing.

 

"Mk." You realize maybe that's the case why idia don't come. You were walking towards the shroud brothers room but then you heard someone yelled. "Big brother!? Where are you idia shroud..." You search for the sound of voice coming from. You saw Ortho coming out from the corner of the hallway, that leads to their room.

 

"Idia's out?" You question after a wave of greetings. The moment the robot kid spotted you, his eyes sparkle and float toward you. Currently his on his dorm uniform body gear.

 

"Yuu~ " he called out to you and soon his in front of you. " It's good nothing alarming happened to you." A screen appear before him, he seems to check if something wrong with you or not. He Found nothing wrong he seems more happy than before.

 

"Huh... Is there a danger I don't know about ?" You question him since he started the topic about you being in a good state as if something terrible could happen.

 

"....| Scanning authority to leak out private information. Prefect Yuu of another world.... 80%...| " You stared at him as he went full AI mode.

 

"Srl. You don't need to say it if you think it's private information." You interjected as he scan and analyzing if it's allowed or not. He stopped and stared at you with his golden orbs. " |

 

..Scanning cancelled.| ... Ehehe thanks Yuu! By the way... have you happen to see Big brother ?" He giggle as he change the topic.

 

"Nope. I was looking for the two of you and found no trace of you two... Until just now." Honestly, you wonder where the Top introvert went out when others don't leave the dorm room. Maybe he went to get a midnight snack or something.' you thought as the two of you went to look for Idia.

 

As you two walk in the hallway. Going out of the dorm to the school hall.

 

Ortho comes to a stop when you two stood in front of the mirror chamber with the black mirror inside.

 

"Hey Yuu..." You heard him start.

 

"Hmm?" You hummed a tone as you look at the youngest Shroud. " Do you know about the information of the magic tool use for the ball tonight don't only transform Humans, or fea to who they "wanted" or greatly "admire" but also spirit to ghost that once "human"." He said in a matter fact tone.

 

"It's a tool use since long ago but it's only able to use it's full potential in nights like this, a certain day that happen twice or times each decades...some times it happen once a century." He show you a hologram of today's date, it show it's a day blue comet that represents the Blue fairy from old tales.

 

"Wow..." Amaze about the fact that you only discovered about the event today, you can't help but think it's a good thing you experience it when you come to this world.

 

Through a thought comes in mind as you watch Ortho enter the room of mirror chamber.

 

"Can the mirror..." You wonder if it works to non human like a robot like Ortho.

 

"According to calculation the chances of it to be able to do that is... Quite low." He inspected the place before he stood in front of the mirror, he seems to he in a deep thought.

 

"Well... There's nothing wrong in trying out. There always possibility even it's under the impression of almost impossible..." You skip toward him and stood in front of the magic tool. He stared at you surprised as he takes his hand and guide him to the magic tool.

 

"Even if it's a short time. Wont you want to experience something rare as this? So who would you wanted to be Ortho?"

 

Smiling happily you waited for his reply.

 

He analyze your experience before he let out a chuckle.

 

"I do admire my big brother..." He seems to glow and star to transform to someone else but it stopped and he went back to normal. " instead of transformations... I wanted to use this chance to use another ability of the mirror instead. " He added as he stared at the magic tool.

 

Pouting as your not able to see the power of the mirror, you sigh yet your smile stayed.

 

"There's another use of this magic tool?"

 

"Do you know...Each person can only use it in their lifetime... But that fact is rather old and people would rather use their chances to be someone else at least they can experience to be someone they admire... Through the other use of this mirror is."

 

His gaze went downcast to your hand that still linked to his. You embarrassedly thought he don't like the hand holding but as you try to take your hand away, he grab it and intertwined your hands together.

 

"There's a hidden information about this magic tool...it's the fact. you can peak to the future with this tool. But only what the person wanted, can be seen by the said person." He stared at the glowing mirror.

 

"Ooh. That's very interesting. Should I look whats the lottery number tomorrow?" You joked as you stared at the mirror, a set of numbers appear and you quickly went to get a pen to write it down.

 

" HOLD UP HOLD UP. GEEZE..." you exclaimed as the mirror is giving the number in a fast speed. You only able to write the last three digit correctly. You sigh hopelessly, it seems you wasted your once a lifetime chances to use a magic tool.

 

"Yuu want to win the Lottery? I can help you find the possibility winning number using calculation and data analysis." You heard Ortho chuckle after he sigh hopelessly at your antics.

 

"Ehh... It supposed to be a joke. " You laugh at yourself. You can't do anything now anyway. Might as well what you get and get some money.

 

"So... What did you ask to see?" You wanted to learn what he wanted to see.

 

"Hehe. Don't you know the infamous words "curiosity kills the cat?" " He says with a teasing tone.

 

"But satisfactory brought it back to life." You added to his words. " You can give me a hint if you can't give all the juicy details." You don't want to force the dude and it's none of your business. Smh

 

"If you stay to see it... You could know what I saw." He seems cryptic about his words, you don't understand it either way. He don't plan to explain it either.

 

"Smh, ok let's go back searching for you brother then." You shrugs of the topic and start to go back to the main point of you two walking around the place.

 

"Oh, a dorm member says through communicator, that big brother went back to the dorm just now." He floats beside you. He seems to pause and stared at the digital screen in front of him.

 

"By the way, have you dance with anyone yet ? Did you enjoy the party ? I hope it's a fun time for you~" (Ortho)

 

"It's fun. People were in different faces, and acting out those characters." You thought about the silly moment your friends did earlier. Some scenes that the real deal wouldn't probably do.

 

"I don't dance with anyone. I probably gonna step on their feet ahaha." You joked as you both start to went out the room.

 

"Then you don't dance with anyone yet ? But it's a ball~ big brother wont let me join cause he says you have bunch of friends to accompany you, missing two would be fine. " He seems sad about idia words, yet it makes you more sad as those two who your hoping to join along won't really come to the ball no matter what. " ...sigh." you silently sigh at that sentence.

 

"Oh!" He seems to think of something, he land his feet to thr ground and slightly bow, looking up to you with what seems to be grinning, offering his hand.

 

"Would you care for a dance, Yuu?" He ask like a gentleman. " I have downloaded the tips to how to, so with me here. I'll guide the dance!" He cheerfully says as you giggle and accepted his hand.

 

As you two enjoy the moment You have failed to notice the magic tool showing an image of what Ortho saw.

 

A person unable to return home as they are stock in underworld. The story of Persephone surrounded by flowers in a dark place but Persephone face is someone else... Which is you. Someone is calling out for them who could be one of the shrouds as the flaming blue hair come into a view.

 

 

 

They reach out to Persephone who happily accept it and they soon run toward the glooming darkness of the unknown...the scene soon ended . The mirror cracks in it's the edges.

 

You two don't give a care as you dance away, away from the room while saying things that makes the other laugh. Enjoying the time, like there's no tomorrow.

 

'if you were to gaze to a future you WANTED and DESIRE to see. It could happen and you WILL FORCE it to happen. The tool can only do this once and be broken afterwards.' was one of the words Ortho never told you as you two went to jam with idia for the whole night. The news of the intruder and the possibility of them be the reason of why the old artifact/ magic tool broke apart soon spread out but such news never reach you because as the news was about to be shared, people who want to talk about it soon forgotten about it.

 

"Ahaha. So you went out with that outfit again?" You tease idia the next day, he only rolled his eyes and Ortho sighs.

 

"Smh, you normies don't understand the SSR gear I have." He says as he went and drop uno to the table. Smirking as he won again."Uno!"

 

"WHYYYY... AGAIN AGAIN..." (Yuu)

"I can help you, Yuu~" (Ortho)

"Tks, even if you two team up, you will lost " (Idia).

Your too busy enjoying your moment to care about the world after all.

 

3RD END:???

 

Would you like to choice again?

Notes:

Context: the blue fairy comet is also base from Pinocchio who turn a wooden boy to a real boy (ending 2), in Cinderella who could be say as FAIRY god mother could be blue from movie and that's where the midnight come from (almost everyone who become someone else or someone they admire). The spell only last till midnight but remember in sleeping beauty there's a fairy who somehow bless or see or something to the future (?) One of the three fairies that bless sleeping beauty made those adjustment that become a reality and change the curse (ending 3) what you wish thru it could be possible future or see through the future.
