Hello people, I'm starting another HXH fanfic... ^^; But no, it's not what you think! I just... I was bored last night and my mind wandered and came up with this idea and I had to write it. I know many will want me to continue but I have enough on my hands as it is and want to finish Sleepless Shadows. Plus... Reading and writing the exam phase over and over kind of gets boring after a while... Repetitive... ^^; So I'm going to warn you all now! I only plan to write 2 maybe 3 chapters of this, then I'm offering it up to people who want to adopt the story or maybe co-write it with me! XD So if this story catches your interest and you want more and are willing to adopt or help write it, I'd appreciate it tons; because otherwise, it'll likely never get done... Thanks!

To whoever is reading this,

I wish...

They are words that everyone utters at least once in their life, words that people say because they want something to happen, but knew it never would... For them at least. Sure, I wish I had a piece of cake, or I wish for a new car, but that's not going to happen... At least right now. But others have the ability to make their dreams come true, to say 'I want' instead of 'I wish'. I wish I was one of those people...

But no, I'm some genius teenager who because of her age is stuck living in her parent's drably garage where she is stuck working on things because she can't stand to just say I wish. It's funny, though, I had to admit. Throughout history some of the most impacting and wealthiest people and companies became that way because of an invention they created in their garage. The Apple computer by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, started in a garage. Hewlett-Packard was also started in a garage, as well as, of all things, Google! Michael Kittredge also developed the Yankee Candle Company, and Ruth and Elliot Handler created Mattel, which brought kids toys like barbie and hot wheels, and companies from Disney to Amazon to Patagonia all got started in garages... Ah, but I'm getting off topic, I tend to do that a lot. If you hadn't already guessed I'm a bit of a science geek, I like to mess around with tech and wires and all sorts of little gadgets to make possible inventions that might make the future a little more interesting. But enough with the introductions, you'll find out more about me as we continue. But before we start I should warn you that I'm also an avid anime lover, but that was probably already a given if you're reading this. In fact, if you're reading this, then let me congratulate you on being the one to decide the fate of me and my dear friend Gene who I consider a sister.

I cannot tell you for how long we've been gone. My parents never had time for me when I was a kid, who knows when they'll check on me. For all I know you who's reading this could be the great granddaughter of my annoying little sister Kit. She never really bothers me anymore since she's afraid I'll use her as a test subject for my experiments. Heh, but at least that kept her out of my hair. But if you are, well, we're probably already dead. Probably.

Where did we go, you may ask? To be honest we don't know. I'd say we went into another dimension, some kind of rift or imagination, a dream. Yes, we're inside a dream. How is that possible, you might ask? Well, I'll get there, let me just take this slow and explain from the start.

I guess it started one day when I'd succeeded on the animal trials for my experiment which should be a regular item in your day and age, much like how cell phones were. I call it the Dream Reader, though when it was stolen from me, the idea and plans I mean, it was renamed to Dreamscape. I am ashamed that people would take advantage of the fact I'm still a kid to get away with using my creation but not giving me any credit. But that's how history was, it's how it happens a lot, isn't it? Someone gets all the credit while the one who was the real hero gets pushed to the sidelines and forgotten. Anyways, I'd tried many things, killed many rats. It was Rabbid Junior the 75th son of Rabbid Junior the 70th that I succeeded in not killing with the wires I attached to his body. It'd taken me forever to get the right calculations, and finally, while Rabbid Junior the 75th slept, I successfully got some kind of blended color imagery and shapes on the screen he was hooked up to. After many adjustment calculations and many more rat deaths, I succeeded in creating the first ready for human trials prototype for my Dream Reader.

You probably already know what the Dream Reader, or as you'd know it, Dreamscape, does, but I'll explain it anyways. Dream Reader is a machine you can hook up to before you go to sleep. It reads your brainwaves and memories, reading your brain activity and displaying and recording your dream on a screen. You can save it on any disk or drive and view it. By the time I'd written this letter here dreams were some of the most viewed videos on the internet. Songs were created inspired by dreams, movies and books, I feel like my invention really helped people to be more creative. My only issue is I'm getting zero credit.

But I guess here is where I'll start you off, me and my dear friend Genesis, laughing, having fun, planning, dreaming... And very, very nervous for the first human trials...

"Come on Eve, we've tried it over and over, it works every time! The rats are fine, there's no pain or side effects!" A girl with long jet black hair nearly yelled, waving her hands around as she paced back and forth in front of the cages filled with almost a dozen Rabbid Juniors, white rats and brown rats, all scurrying around, pacing back and forth as a jumbling group, following her with noses high.

"Yet," came the reply from the skinny white haired girl who was busy monitoring the rat's mental states. It'd been a week, and still no side effects.

"I'm willing to take the risk Eve! Come on!"

"Gene, I don't want something to go wrong! I don't know what I'd do if... If I... If something-"

"Nothing will happen," Gene responded, flicking her hair behind her shoulders. "Forget the if. We'll be fine. Anyways, I have my sixth sense. If I sense anything wrong in the slightest-"

"Tell me immediately," Eve interrupted. Gene nodded.

"Yeah, I'll tell you. So please~ I want to see what happens!"

"You mean remember," Eve responded with a sigh, looking through the wires and gadgets and metals. She finally got the ten wires she needed and turned to her friend who was already sitting in the seat next to the screen. Eve, or her full name, Evangeline, had been putting the human trials off for a while, mostly out of fear. She didn't want anything to happen to her friend, and was fearful that something would go wrong.

However she was also just as curious as Gene, who's full name was Genesis, what would happen, would it really work? What would her dream be about?

"Yeah, remember I guess. Hey, so I'm not really as sciencey as you, so what does this do again?"

"It monitors and records your brain waves during REM sleep, which occurs in cycles of about 90-120 minutes throughout the night, and it accounts for up to 20-25% of total sleep time in adult humans, although the proportion decreases with age. Brain activity during REM sleep is largely characterized by low-amplitude mixed-frequency brain waves, quite similar to those experienced during the waking state - theta waves, alpha waves and even the high frequency beta waves more typical of high-level active concentration and thinking-"

"English please?" Gene interrupted.

"Er," Eve thought a moment. "The dreams that are most memorable and vivid happen during certain periods of your sleep and the machine records the brain waves and activity to 'see' what you see and display it on the screen so you can see it and remember it later."

"So how long will this take?"

"It should start around 70-90 minutes average after you've fallen asleep, then take another 90-110 minutes for the dream. But it should register when you hit REM and then start recording. Wake whenever you wake, it'll stop recording when you get out of REM."

"OK! Hook me up!" Eve sighed as she took the cords and hesitantly started hooking them up to her friend. "It feels weird..."

"Of course it does," Eve responded. "I'm hooking ten wires to your head that will record your brain activity."

"Only ten?"

"I have two more for your neck and two more for your arms."

"Ah, OK."

Gene sat still, eyes closed, trying to drift off as she sat there. It wasn't long before she was all hooked up. Eve sat to the side, watching her brain activity and monitoring her to make sure nothing went wrong. It wasn't long before she was yawning herself and starting to make little paper cut outs of anime characters she liked. However a small beep sounded and brought her immediate attention to the black screen. Gene had started to dream, and it had started to record.

It was a little fuzzy but the black screen started to show shapes and vague silhouettes. It was then Eve realized it was an area next to a forest, there were trees on one side and grass in front of her. The moonlight shone around them. Them, yes, Eve was in Gene's dream. They were walking on some very steep hills chatting, but no sound was heard. The pathway the two were on was very zig-zaggidy. They passed by a pond that had some glowing bugs in it and they watched and swung on swings near the water. Eve assumed there was some kind of music or melody the bugs were making as the two seemed to be humming and dancing a bit. Then, like magic, the two, after exchanging some silent words, jumped off the swings, over the pond, and onto the other side where a city was. It took them a while to walk there, but after walking into the city, there was smoke coming from it so the two went to investigate. However the smoke was for a festival that was going on. The two went around the festival and played games and had fun, meeting people, and it wasn't long before the whole city had lit up with fireworks and floating giant balloons. Eve noticed how many of the people around were hazy and silhouetted, but recognizable ones were furries or anime characters, real life friends and family, people they used to know...

However it didn't last long before one of the anime guys the two'd been travelling with went to kiss Gene, but it started to fade to black and Gene awoke with a groan, the machine letting off a beep.

"Damnit, I'm awake. Just like 30 more seconds!" Gene said, groggily sitting up and opening her eyes with a yawn. "I just asked for 30 more seconds~"

"It worked," Eve said, messing with some buttons before going over and messing with the wires attached to Gene. Gene stared at her with wide eyes.

"It did? Of course it did! Let me see!" She hopped out of the chair.

"Hey, hey, let me get the wires off you first!"

The two watched the dream again, which took well over an hour, but Gene was amazed. The two even ate popcorn.

"It's silent," Gene said.

"Yeah."

"There was noise."

"Sorry."

"We need to fix that."

"We?"

"Yeah. I'll be your test subject from now on!" Gene said happily.

"HHHUUUUUUUHHH?!" Eve said, wide eyes.

"Yeah! We need to perfect it until we can hear sound!"

"But, but that's im-"

"It's not impossible," Gene said, waving a finger. "You used your machine to record what we 'see' in our dreams. That's some kind of magic right there."

"Science."

"Same thing. Anyways, it'll just take some time! We already have it working to record dreams silently, now all we got to do is record the part where our brain picks up noise."

"Therein lies the problem," Eve responded. "No scientist has been able to figure out how the brain generates sound it doesn't hear through the ear."

"Eh, I know you'll figure it out! You have to!"

Eve sighed but smiled as the two got back to work on things. It'd be a lot of work but...

It didn't even take two years and the Dream Reader was perfected. It could read and record dreams both visually and audibly, and if you hooked up to it you could feel what the person in the dream felt. However the feeling aspect was lost then it was saved on a disk. Evangeline and Genesis took their invention and the information to a science academy to show it off, where in less than a month their machine was to be stolen and ripped off, to be renamed and trademarked under the name Dreamscape...

But Eve wasn't done, no. She was always curious, always changing. She was furious that they'd used her invention like that and stole it, without giving her any credit. And did anyone believe her? No. So she did the only thing she could. Ignore and forget.

She wouldn't make that mistake again.

Now, she had a new goal, to develop the Dream Reader to the Daydream Reader. To be able to show dreams when one was fully awake.

And that was the start to a whole new kind of journey...

Like the story so far? I'm planning another chapter or two here, however like I said before, I WILL NOT be writing more than that. I already have a ton of things I'm doing right now, and I can only take so much of rewriting the beginning of HXH. ^^; HOWEVER, like I said before, if you really like this story and the concept, it WILL be up for adoption, or if you want, up for a co-writer, so you can write the basics and I'd help flesh it out and plan. ^^ I'd be willing to do that. Thanks~!
