It all started with a dream.
With all the hectic things going on Shirou expected it to be another dream about the fire that haunted him. He never expected to have a dream about girls of all things, such a typical teenager thing was just...well it wasn't odd it just seemed to come at a bad time. The Holy Grail War was underway, it was all Shirou could do to survive against the relentless other Masters and their Servants. It was not a time to do anything at leisure, so it was odd that his mind seemed to linger on the opposite sex.
Prior to the Holy Grail War there were a couple notable females in his life, Sakura and Taiga. They'd become something of his family over the years. Sakura was an increasingly attractive younger student and Taiga, a teacher, evolved into something of an elderly sister role. Then the War started and suddenly Shirou found himself surrounded by all these special girls. Rin Tohsaka, the perfect idol at his school now stayed with him and fought alongside him. Ilyasviel Von Einsbern, master magus and one of the most likely to win the war. The servant Rider, quiet and intimidating yet her beauty was still mesmerizing. Caster, whose face remained unknown to Shirou but radiated power and weakness at the same time. And then there was the most important one, the one who Shirou could never get off of his mind: Saber.
Saber was...different from anything he'd ever met. She was strong yet frail. Stern but kind. Human but at the same time otherworldly. She was a one of kind woman. How he got such a Servant he didn't know. But to him she was a person first and then a Servant, not vice-versa.
Perhaps it was that thought process that explained the dream. All these people, attractive in their own ways, be they enemies or friends just looked like people right now. Shirou stood before them all. Relationships, past events, none of that mattered. All that seemed relevant was the fact he was a man, and they were women. Maybe his frustrated teenage libido was just affecting his dreams, but the reason didn't change their presence.
Carefully Shirou took a step forward to Saber, her stern eyes were uncharacteristically shy. "Shirou..." Her voice sounded frail, like she would crack at any second and do something.
"You're going to pick her over me?!" A voice shouted from the side, Shirou stared dumbfoundedly at Tohsaka. "Idiot! Don't you know quality?"
"That's precisely why he won't pick you." A young voice mockingly stated. Shirou's gaze turned to Ilya. "Shirou wants to be with me!"
"If that were true..." A monotone voice broke in, now on the opposite side was Rider. "Why am I even here?"
"The same could be said for me." Caster chirped in.
"I already live with him!" A shy voice exclaimed, behind Shirou Sakura was blushing profusely. Beside her was Taiga who was strangely silent.
"Shirou."
"Huh?" The young man looked back to Saber. She looked confused.
"You...pick me right?"
"Who's it going to be Shirou?"
"Yeah! Go ahead and tell em!"
The voices began to conglomerate. The women surrounding Shirou seem to inch closer and closer until he finally just screamed."
"Aah!!'
A small shout left his lips, he was alone again, in his room. "Just a dream..." Relief flooded into him. The memories of his nightmare quickly began to vanish. "I wonder what that was all about?" Shirou's hand reached up to scratch his scalp but something felt off. His room was really dark for some reason it seemed a lot more spacious. Everything looked different too. It still felt like his room but...it was off. As he kept looking around Shirou noticed an opening on his ceiling, outside it looked bright as day. "Couldn't be..." Shirou had a sneaking feeling in his gut. He approached the wall and gripped it, it was soft like a cushion. Eyes narrowed the young man climbed up to follow his instincts.
"There's just no way..."
He neared the top and suddenly the area looked a lot more familiar. His room looked exactly as he left it, with one major difference.
"I shrunk?!"
Sure enough, the room was now a massive plain that would take hours to cross. Shirou couldn't have been more than a couple inches tall. Beneath him were his blankets he just crawled from. "What di- Whe-How?!" After failing to form several questions he finally settled on that one word. The alarm to his house didn't go off. No one was around him. So why was he shrunken?!
The questions quickly lost their significance. Loud footsteps came from the outside. Shirou noticed his room door sliding open. A female figure stepped in...
