Chapter #1 Hot Day and Unexpected Visitor
"Come on, girl Table One and Ten want two specials." "Alright Ken." Sharlene Lane called as she threw some onions into a frying pan. The smell filled her nostrils and made her eyes water. She never like cooking with onions but she knew it gives the food flavor. Sharlene Lane was a nineteen year old college student at the University of Regina, who worked as a cook at a small restaurant a few blocks from the apartment building she and her sister Heather live at. While she worked as a cook, Heather worked as a waitress. Sharlene and Heather were close growing up and did a lot of things together like school projects and hanging out at the mall and the movies. Some people believe that the Lane twins looked and were alike. But they had some differences.
Sharlene has brown hair, blue eyes and likes to work on computers and wear black clothes and navy blue eyeshadow. Heather has reddish-brown hair, greenish-blue eyes and likes to travel and wear sky-blue and purple clothes and light purple eyeshadow. It was a hot summer day in Regina, Saskatchewan , where they lived since they were babies. It was a busy day at the restaurant and it was difficult to work when it's hot outside. It was worse for Sharlene who worked in the kitchen because it was hotter then the rest of the place.
"At least Heather is not sweating like mad out there." Sharlene thought bitterly as she prepared the specials her boss Ken asked her to make. She was starting to regret putting make up on today. She did it because it wasn't as hot as it was that morning. Once Sharlene placed the dishes on the counter, she rang a small bell in the corner and a waiter came by and picked up the orders. After he left, she grabbed a paper towel and wiped the sweat and the rest of the make up off her face. "Next time, don't wear any make up to work." Sharlene thought as she threw the paper towel in the trash, grabbed a order from Heather and went back to the stove.
Once their shift was over, Heather and Sharlene went back to their apartment, Sharlene collapsed onto the couch while Heather collapsed onto the overstuffed chair in the living room. "Whew! I never been this hot before." "You're hot?" Sharlene asked. "Try working in the kitchen." Heather grinned, then shivered. "Brrr. Sharlene did you turn on the fan or something?" Sharlene shivered as she noticed the room was getting colder. "No, I didn't." she turned to notice the window behind the couch she was sitting on was closed. She raised an eyebrow. The fan is not running and the window was closed. Where is all the cold air coming from? It was around 80 degrees inside and outside, even though it's dark out. Then...
"Hey girls, what's up?" Heather and Sharlene jumped. "What in..." Heather exclaimed. The voice laughed. Sharlene looked up to see a small purple dragon with orange wings, claws and horns and yellow eyes looking down at her from the T.V. cabinet he was sitting on. Sharlene smiled, she knew this dragon well. He was The Figment the Imagination. A creature from the Imagination Pavilion at Epcot in Disney World. The girls went down there a few months ago on Spring Break. They were disappointed after they found out that the ride changed. Figment and Sharlene met when a former Imagineer Paul kidnapped Heather and a few other workers at the Pavilion and cloned. Sharlene would've been caught and cloned too if Figment hadn't taken her to the Dreamport, where the adventure began.
Paul wanted to get revenge against the Imagineering Department for firing him because one of the rides he designed malfunctioned. He found a way to the Dreamport by using his powerful imagination. Where he kidnapped the Dreamfinder and turned the Dreamport into his own home. Sharlene was able to stop him and free the people he kidnapped by using her imagination and she and Heather trapped him in a ball of light. Both Sharlene and Heather have powerful imaginations. Just as powerful as Paul's. In the real world the things you imagine only exist in your head, on paper, or on a T.V. and computer screen. But in the Dreamport, anything you imagine comes to life.
"Hey, Figment." Sharlene greeted friendly. "Long time no see." Figment grinned. "Same here." he said as he flew down from the cabinet and hovered in the air between the girls. Heather looked up at Figment, still recovering from the shock. Sharlene chuckled upon noticing her sister's expression. "Come on, Heather." she said. "You know who Figment is." "I know." Heather said as she stood up and shivered again. "Oh, sorry about that." Figment said when he noticed how cold the room got. He waved his claws and the temperature started to raise slowly. "Thanks." Heather said as she felt warm again. "No problem." Figment said. "I noticed how hot and tired you two were so I cooled the air. I guess I shouldn't have made too much, huh?" "I guess." Sharlene said. "But thanks for the kind gesture. Anyway, what's brings you here?"
"Nothing." Figment answered. "Just wanted to stop by and say hello." "It's great to see you again." Heather said, smiling for the first time all day. "It's been what, three months?" "Four actually." Sharlene corrected. She turned to Figment. "Well then we have some catching up to do, eh?" "We sure do." Figment said as he landed on the coffee table between Heather and Sharlene. "And I can't wait."
Great, Figment is here and what will happen next? Stay tuned for When Nightmares Raise Again.
