In a small town a young girl was asleep in her bed, snuggled under the covers. As she slept she dreamt.
She sat in a meadow of flowers on a gentle hill, her short blond hair billowing in the wind and her green eyes sparkled in the sun. It was beautiful. She lay back on the soft grass and gazed up at the clouds, relaxing in the suns warmth. Behind her a shadow approached, inching closer and closer, but she was unaware. It came so close it could just reach out and touch her, it leaned in, arms outstretched and- "BOO!"
"AAAAAH!" fully awake now, she fell into a heap of blankets, sheets and pillows on the floor. "Darkrai!" she scolded, glaring at the shadow that now stood in her room. "No scaring me like that."
"Aww come on Amy, it's so much fun! And besides, it's the first day of our adventure! The professor will be waiting." Darkrai responded. He was indeed what appeared to be a shadow, with white billowing hair and a collar of red spikes around his neck. His hair covered one of his sparkling blue eyes and seemed to float behind him.
"Crap, you're right! I need to get dressed and get ready and, oh I need a shower, we need to pack-"
"Calm down, one thing at a time. Just shower and get dressed, I'll be downstairs." with that the dark being promptly melted into the floorboards and disappeared. Sighing, Amelia made her way towards the shower and began preparing.
Amelia all but ran down the stairs and into the kitchen, almost tripping and falling on her face in the process.
"Hey Amy!" greeted her mother when she made it to the bottom. "Darkrai packed your bag and there's berries for breakfast."
"Thanks mom, thanks Darkrai." she said in a rush as she grabbed some Bluck and Pecha berries off the table and ran towards the door.
"Come on Darkrai, love you mom!" Darkrai floated over and handed Amy her bag before following her out the door.
"Love you too sweetie!" her mom yelled after her as she disappeared out into the street.
