Once, there was a boy; a happy, playful lad. He had plenty of candies and toys, but nothing made him glad. Lonely, was he. Alone until the end, this he did not want to be, so then, he prayed for a friend.

"I want a friend," he prayed, "to play with at the park, and with me he'll always stay to protect me from the dark. I want someone whom I can love and be loved in return. I want someone sent from above who'll teach me and will learn."

Then right at once, a sound was heard from right behind the bushes. Then out came a colored bird, then towards him, it rushes.

A plant, a snail, a doggish-cat thing; the epitome of the word "cute". A hawk, a lion, a giraffe that stings; all very powerful brutes. At this, he smiled, new friends he had to run with and be wild. The boy, he knew, no longer had a reason to be sad. He'd ride on top of Halberd's back then sleep on Kooma's arm. And then the Kyroos would be ready to attack to protect him from all harm.

Too bad, one day they were no more. The boy was left alone for he had opened his eyes to the bore of the world he had originally known. The boy, then cried all day and night and grieved for friends he lost. And then, in anger, with all his might, into sleep he tossed. Alone, he was, until he heard a very familiar sound, the sound he had heard at the start. He smiled then turned around, for he knew that forever, they were in his heart.


Since I was extremely busy with schoolwork for the past 3 months and had no time to write fanfics, I decided to start with something light to shake off all the "rust" and to stimulate my brain and veer it away from numbers and equations.
Hopefully, since it's already summer, I'll be able to continue writing again and finish what I started.

So, anyways, yeah, a very lighthearted Dream Eater fanfic :D I've always wanted to write one XD I tried to make it rhyme as much as possible to make it more "childish".

EDIT: Thank you to Emerald Ashes for the feedback :)
