Hi! OMG I love Arthur and Ariadne so much, I just had to write a fanfic about them. K, hope ya like it! :D

Chapter 1

I was a normal college student studying architecture in Paris, France. I was in love with the beautiful French city. I lived in a small Parisian apartment only five minutes away from my classes. My favorite teacher was Miles.

I was listening to one of Professor Miles' lectures, again, on a lazy spring day. Even though I'd rather be outside, reading a good book or sketching random buildings in sight, I knew that this had to happen first.

After the lecture, Miles came up to me, a gleam in his eyes. Another man was standing beside him.

"Mr. Cobb has a job offer to discuss with you," Miles told me.

I started to smile. This was good.

We went to a local café down the street. I was really confused about all this dreaming stuff.

"How do you know this isn't a dream?" he asked suddenly. And then everything started blowing up. Not explosions, but fruits in a fruit stand was explode and there would be fruit everywhere. This was extremely weird. And then, when I least expected it, something exploded from behind me, hitting me square in the head, and the world went black.

I woke up to find myself lying on a lawn chair in a small warehouse. "Woah."

I looked around and saw another man, younger than Cobb, though probably a bit older than me, leaning against the wall, looking outside. He was handsome, if I had to say so myself, with his slicked back hair and dark eyes. He fit perfectly into the saying "tall and dark and handsome."

I bet he noticed me looking at him, cause he smirked at me in a such a way that it made me blush.

Cobb woke up a minute later. He got up and spun a top on a table with a silver briefcase.

"Oh by the way, Ariadne, this is our point man, Arthur, one of the best out there." Cobb patted Arthur on the back and ruffled his hair. Arthur laughed, but I saw him straighten his vest and tie and smooth his hair when Cobb wasn't looking. I knew he was the immaculate, serious, smart type.

"You must be our potential architect," Arthur said to me, a small grin on his handsome face. He held out a hand, which I shook lightly.

I looked down at his watch while shaking his hand. "It's only four o'clock?"

"Yeah," he answered.

"But I'd say that I was talking to Cobb for an hour," I said.

"Hour in the dream, five minutes in reality," he told me.

"Wow."

"Well, your mind functions faster in the dream than it does in the real world," said Arthur.

"Okay, let's go under one more time before you decide," said Cobb, getting ready.

Arthur inserted the needle into my wrist gently. Then, just before I was out, I felt his hand behind my back, guiding me so I wouldn't fall too hard into the back of the chair.

I was in the city again, only walking and not near the café.

"I guess I thought that the dream space would be all about the visual, but, it's more about the feel of it," I said to Cobb.

"My question is, what happens when you start messing with the physics of it all?"

We stopped walking. There was a loud creaking noise. And then I saw half the city fold over on top of us. But the other half of the city fit in perfectly with the other. "It's something, isn't it?" I said.

"Yes it is," he said, still looking up at the upside down part of the city. Everything was functioning normally up there, surprisingly. But after all, it was a dream. And when I started walking vertically, I was blown away by what I could do here.

But as we walked further, I noticed that all the people were staring at me as I passed by them. It was kind of freaking me out inside. "Why are they all looking at me?" I asked.

"Because my subconscious feels that someone else is creating this world. The more you change things, the quicker the projections start to converge them," he said.

"Converge?" I asked, looking behind me to look at him.

"They sense the foreign nature of the dreamer. They attack like white blood cells fighting an infection."

"They're going to attack us?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.

"No." He paused for a couple seconds. "Just you," he said so quietly it was barely audible.

OMG, cliffhanger! Thanks for reading the first chapter, I'm definitely going to continue, it will be an eventual Arthur and Ariadne, it's just too soon right now! Please review! And I promise to add more to the story as soon as I can, cause school really takes away time from my stories :P!
