"No!!!!!! Stop!!"

"What is it?! What's going on?!!!"

Nura's scream shattered the silence of the night. Vi, Imra, Luornu, and Tinya raced from their rooms and tried to open the door.

"Dream Girl?! Are you alright?!"

"Wha—oh...guys...I'm sorry.....to have disturbed you....."

Nura Nal sat up. She was sweating, and she looked terrifed. Imra was worried.

"Nura, what was wrong? Did anything unusual happen?"

"Yeah, a dream.....that's what happened......."

"Tell us!!" They were curious.

Nura was unsure of what she would do. Was she right? Was it just an illusion? No...it couldn't be...IT SIMPLY COULDN'T BE!!!!

But no, she wasn't sure...

She couldn't just tell. Not yet.

There must be an explanation!!

"I...I can't tell you....just yet...I'm not sure....the dream was confusing...I have to tell Cos first thing in the morning..."

"Come on, Nura. We're your friends..."

"Please?!"

"Yeah, I mean, we need to know..!"

"Guys, please! You have to understand...I need to know more...I'll see in the morning...Please?" Nura was almost crying.

Vi stood up. She looked at Nura. She was hiding a deep secret, a really deep one. What could it be? Could it just be a minor matter? From her look...it was a major one. A really major one.

Imra wanted to read Nura's mind. But, no. She wouldn't betray her friend. She sighed and rose to her feet.

"Okay, Nura..we'll met with you first thin in the morning. Good night..."

The girls left and Nura shut the door and flopped over ot her bed.

Could it really be her? How? Why? She was supposed to be gone...

But she was back.

She was.

Cosmic Boy yawned. He got up and stretched. He dressed and thought.."Did I hear something last night?"

"Oh well, maybe the others can tell me about it."

He walked down to the breakfast hall.

He was shocked.

Nura was sitting at her usual place. She was the same, normal Nura.

Only this time, she wasn't smiling.

She was sad. Cos could sense that, just as any leader would. He sat by her.

"Good morning, Rokk." As always. But without the warmth.

"Same here, Nura. Are you okay?" He acted like he was curious, to be on the safe side.

Silence.

Then..

"Yes, yes, I'm fine.....now will you please stop asking me that?"

She sounded genuinely irritated.

Cos was now suspicious. He would talk to her later..he had to.
