One Little Spark
A/N Here's the next chapter which introduces Ami the main person in my fic. Figments are also called Imagination dragons and I think they're good friends for people with creative minds. I hope people enjoy....
Ami sighed as she walked out of school. She had long brown hair, green eyes, slender and was very creative minded and loving writing stories and drawing strange and wonderful creatures and coming up with stories for them. She was very shy, quiet and didn't have much friends. Other girls made fun of her and told other kids and new kids to stay away from her because they thought she was a freak.
"Look there's the freak!" Dorina cackled as she and a group of girls laughed at her. Ami felt tears well up in those green eyes of hers but tried to hide it.
In the Dream Port the Dream Finder and Figment saw how sad she was.
"No wonder she created her own Figment. She's just a creative spirit who is misunderstood but lonely. She needs a friend who can help her with her confidence issues." the Dream Finder told himself.
"Dream Finder will she be okay?" Figment asked him curious.
"I-I don't know Fig. Kids like her who are dreamers normally are misunderstood by their peers because they're too small minded to understand or open their minds.
Maybe she'll be okay with her Figment when she brings it to life." he reassured him. He could see Figment was a little sad for the girl but went to help with the Dream Catcher.
"Maybe Dream Finder's right. Imagination Dragons make good friends for creative , dreamer humans who feel alone.
I hope her one comes soon." the purple dragon thought.
Ami felt a little better reaching her grandparent's house. She lived there because her parents were working in different parts of the world but she missed them but knew they loved her along with her grandparents and sent her stuff on birthdays and Christmases. She opened the front door and went inside. Her grandfather and grandmother lived on a farm which was fun for her. Her mother had grown up on the farm since she was very young. She then went to get an apple and went to her room.
There were lots of drawings on the walls of her ideas and the creatures she saw in her dreams and day dreams along with shelves of fantasy books and fairy tales. Her bed was a single bed with dark green duvet and cushions which a stuffed blue dragon rested on. I was something her Mom had made for her when she was little but loved it so. It was her friend and confidant. She smiled getting a sketch book and climbed onto her bed beside her dragon.
"Fira Dorinda and her friends were mean again to me. They don't understand that I'm different.
I had this dream about a small dragon that had your eyes but looked different and had a kind heart.
I don't know why but I keep having it a lot.
Maybe it means something." she told the stuffed dragon as she finished the drawing. It was the dragon from her dream.
Her green eyes shone with delight, like magic sparkled in them.
"Maybe it means I'm meant to have her as a friend but how?" she thought as she heard her grandmother calling her later for dinner. She left her sketch book on the bed and went downstairs. She'd finished her homework before then. Her grandmother wondered why she was so quiet as they ate pasta and meatballs.
"Are you sure you're okay honey?
You've been quiet.
Is something wrong?" she asked her grand daughter.
"No I'm fine." Ami lied.
She hadn't told her Grandmother about the trouble she had at school but she knew what was going on.
Later after dinner Ami went back to her room and changed into pyjamas. She climbed into bed with a book she'd started reading. She hoped that things would get better somehow.
She then saw a star appear on her wall.
It was silvery and glowed with magic.
"I wonder what's going on?
I bet it leads somewhere cool.
Let's see." she said to herself. Suddenly the star glowed brightly as somebody in a blue suit, a blue top hat and a red beard appeared.
"Wow...... who're you?" she asked in awe.
"I'm Dream Finder.
I know you've been feeling sad and lonely but I have something that might help you." he told her handing her a piece of paper. She smiled reading the words mentally.
"Wow cool!" Ami told him.
He smiled at her warmly. "I see you are a very creative person and others don't see but it'll be okay.
Once you have your own Figment, things will be okay, I promise.
I have to go.
It was nice meeting you." he told her as he vanished. Ami was amazed but curious.
"What do you think Fira?
Should I do it?
I guess it won't hurt to try." she said reading the words out loud but afterwards nothing happened but it didn't matter to her.
"Maybe it takes a little while like the beanstalk in Jack and the Beanstalk." she told the stuffed dragon yawning as her eyes closed but while asleep...... something magical was happening......
