Hello there, Nights fans! How are all of you guys doin'? Well, this is my first NiGHTS fic. I'm hoping that this will become a series of funny stories about incidents that go on in the Nightmaren world. This episode was inspired by my dog Oakley, who has to get fixed soon. In many ways, he and Cerberus are a lot alike. They will lunge at anything and everything that moves, they have multiple personalities, and they are basically just eating machines. So…please wish my dog some luck. I don't exactly want to get him fixed, but he has and auto-immune issue. That means, whenever he gets sick, his body attacks his neck and he has a hard time moving his neck. And with an issue like that, we don't want him and some other female dog to have puppies that will possibly have the same problem. So…yeah. I'd like to point out that I own no one in this story but Charlotte, Griffin, Scereth, and Voltrificous. So, without further ado…read! O-O

The Nightmaren realm is a dark place. At first glance, one might think it to be very somber and solemn. To not have any happiness or excitement, and be very quiet-

"HELP! SOMEONE HELP! CERBERUS IS GOING ON A RAMPAGE THROUGH THE CASTLE! SOMEONE DO SOMETHING! GAAAAAH!"

…But they would be wrong.

"SOMEONE GRAB THE EMERGENCY AX!" ! "THAT'S THE FIRE ALARM, YOU MORON!"

Dead wrong.

"BARK! !"

…I'm sorry, this must be terribly confusing right now, isn't it? Why don't we start from the beginning then? It was a peaceful day in the nightmare realm, and NiGHTS was beginning to wake from a good night's rest.

She sleepily blinked her eyes, and sat up and stretched. "Aaaaahh…" She yawned, and threw her legs over the side of the bed to get ready for the day.

Down in the dining room, NiGHTS saw a couple of her good friends: Reala, and Charlotte. The dining room was a looooooong room, with a loooooong table in the center. After all, there's a lot of Nightmaren in the castle. "Hey, NiGHTS! We saved you a seat!" Charlotte called out.

Charlotte was NiGHTS' only female best friend. Charlotte had the same shoes as Reala and NiGHTS, but they were a light green, striped in the middle with blue and white. She wore a short, dark green skirt around her waist and a blue vest with a white gem on her chest. Her sleeves were green with a zig-zag cut at the ends, and were striped with blue and white at the elbows. She had VERY green eyes, as green as the purest jadeite stone. She had a green jester's hat, with three horns that were also striped with blue and white. She also had white skin.

"Hey, Charlotte, Reala." Charlotte smiled. Reala grunted. Reala's breakfast consisted of meat, meat, and more meat. Well, do you really expect the general of the Nightmaren army to order a salad?

"…Are you alright Reala?" He grunted again.

"He's been like that all day. He won't say why, though…"

"I hardly got any sleep last night. I think Jackle may have had one of his…moments again. And you know what it's like being next door to some insane lunatic."

Reala took a moment to drink some of his coffee. Charlotte ate some fruit. NiGHTS poked at her pancakes absentmindedly.

"BREAKFAAAAAAST! WAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

All three of them groaned. They knew that voice anywhere.

Jackle came flyin' around the corner, shrieking random phrases, and was followed by none other than Voltrificous. Voltrificous was Jackle's 'bestestest buddy in all of chihuahuas', as he himself would have put it. Voltrificous wasn't insane. Just annoying. He had black boot-like shoes with glowing yellow lightning patterns on them. They pointed upwards at the toe, with yellow fuzzballs on the tips. He had a yellow vest with a black gem on his chest, and white sleeves with yellow and black triangle patterns on the cuffs. Voltrificous' horns stuck upwards and were bent oddly in a zig-zag shape, resembling a lightning bolt, and were striped black at the bends. He also had large, golden cat-like eyes, and whenever he smiled, you could easily see his tiny fangs.

"Looks like the freakshow has just arrived." Reala said in dismay. Jackle and Voltrificous sat on either side of Reala, and began yammering away.

"Reala. Reala. Reala. Reala. Reala. Reala. Reala. Reala. Reala. Reala. Reala. Reala-"

"What. Is . It. Jackle?"

"…How are you?"

Reala let out an exasperated sigh, got up, and left. NiGHTS and Charlotte burst out laughing.

This was going to be a long day.
