I've felt true happiness.

I've felt true compassion.

I've felt as though I could touch the sky.

I used to think this could only happen in Dreams, I found out later….I was right.

I looked at the night sky, seeing the stars twinkle and the moon shine. After the race back home it came out a three way tie, so we played rock paper scissor to see who'd pick the berries. I lost. After that, I trained a little before dinner and I'm now snuggled on the roof watching the stars as they take shapes. I could see Orion, the hunter, over the house like a hawk in the sky.

I sighed contently, life felt so right so perfect. I never would have thought life could be so perfect.

----I was holding a pillow to my head as tears wetted it, my sobs shaking my whole body fiercely. My heart felt it breaking like glass as the pain and sadness hit me.

I looked up at the reason I was crying, remembering the harsh words that pierced my heart, and the way they didn't even care my heart was breaking. I could feel myself becoming sick from how hard I was crying. I wished I could disappear.

I wanted to end it the sadness, the pain, the horrible pain of it all. I wanted to go some place where I could truly be happy and someone would never treat me like they did.

"I want to go home, a real home. One that I can smile more, laugh more, and never feel they way I do now."

I shook the memory a way; at least that wish came true. I could feel myself start to close my eyes when I felt myself being picked up by someone. I looked up and saw NiGHTS pick me up, his smile and a twinkle in his eyes. They always reminded me of big blue stars, always watching me and worrying about me.

"You shouldn't sleep out here, you'll catch a cold if you're not careful," he said, answering my unspoken question. I smiled, feeling slightly foolish, but thankful he would do this for me. He slowly brought me down to the ground and put me down. He went to turn a way to the house, but I grabbed his sleeve to stop him. He turned back to me, questioning then understanding when he saw my face. I wanted to watch the stars with him for a moment before I had to go to bed.

The moon shined bright as both NiGHTS and I stared at its beauty. I was happy I shared this moment with NiGHTS when we walked back into the house after watching the moon for another hour or so. The house was warm compared to the night air which warmed my body instantly.

"There you two are, I was worried what happened to you." Vanilla's voice came from the kitchen window as she brought two glasses of water over to us. We thanked her and I said I would retire to my room, they both wished me a good night and NiGHTS said he would see me at the dream gate. I smiled and nodded as I headed to my room, looking over at the room adjacent to mine.

I sneaked in and tucked in Cream and cheese and then Tails in the other bed. I then walked over to Espio in the chair and covered him with a blanket. I then tip-toed to my room and closed the door. I changed into my pajamas and snuggled into bed, my eyelids started to become heavy as a yawn escaped my lips.

Next thing I knew I was at the dream gate and saw Owl up ahead. I ran over to him and said hello as he rambled on about nightmarens in Nightopia. I looked around for NiGHTS before hands covered my eyes. I smiled and took them off my eyes as he flew in front of me with a smile. He landed in front of me as he held his hand.

"You ready?" He asked.

I nodded, "Always."

I covered my hands with his and could already feel myself dualizing with NiGHTS. We then flew off into Nightopia, where we went to collect the Ideya.

I never felt so happy in my life, but when I was with these guys I couldn't help but be happy. I love these guys more than life it self.
