A/N: I have never really used the Zack/Kimi pairing before, have I? Well, this will be a story with two chapters about them.

In another story of mine I'll look further into the 'Kimi has a nightmare' plot.

Sweet Dreams

Part One: Kimi's Dream

Kira felt that if Kimi came to her screaming one more time, her top would burst. The poor three-year old girl had recently been having horrid nightmares. She would often describe them in detail before breaking down, crying. It wasn't that Kira didn't feel bad for her own daughter. Of course she felt bad. It was just that Kimi not only was interrupting her sleep, she also occasionally spoke in her sleep. Kira did have work at the Java Lava in the mornings, so this made her go to sleep later than usual.

Just as predicted, at one in the morning that night, Kimi ran into Kira and Chaz's bedroom, screaming, and crying. Kira had to refrain from sighing. "Not this again," she mumbled as she turned to face her daughter. Kimi was hugging Super thing extra tight.

"M-mommy," Kimi began. "This dream was horrible! I dreamded that this huge monster ated our house! He gulped it up, Mommy! Then he ran to Phil and Lil's house and he started eating their house too! So were homeless! Did I tell you that he ate Super thing too? And… and…"

"What happened next, Kimi san?" Kira said in a deadpan voice.

"Then I woke up and I was crying and screaming and – oh, Mommy, it was terrible!" Kimi exclaimed, hugging her mother.

Kira didn't see this as a big deal, although she knew that to a three-year old girl it probably would be. "It's okay, Kimi san, it was just a nightmare," Kira assured her daughter. "What's a nightmare?" Kimi asked, glancing up. "A bad dream," Kira explained. Kimi just nodded.

"C-Can I sleep in here tonight?" Kimi stuttered, still sniffing.

The woman couldn't help but feel guilty for what she was about to say. "I'm sorry Kimi san, but no," Kira told her. Kimi's eyes widened. "What? Why not?"

"Kimi, I'm sorry, but you can't come to me every time you have a nightmare," Kira explained. "What will you do when you're an old lady and you have a nightmare? You won't be able to come to me. Kimi san, you must learn to face this challenge of nightmares on your own from now on. "

Kira could sense that Kimi was about to start crying, so she gave her another piece of advice. "Remember, sweetie, dream sweet dreams," Kira told her. "Dream about something or someone that makes you happy. Don't think bad; think good."

The three-year old girl nodded, still seemingly unsure, and tugged Super Thing tightly.

She walked back to her room and hopped into the bed. Slowly, she closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
