NiGHTS into College
Chapter 2
It was the big day; Wizeman was going to send NiGHTS to the Waking World for her punishment. NiGHTS approached Wizeman, although when Wizeman was about to use his hand to transport NiGHTS. NiGHTS had a question, "should I get turned into a Visitor?"
There was a long pause. Wizeman was obviously thinking, "Well, I don't have enough power to both turn you into a Visitor and transport you to the Waking World…but we'll see."
"So you'll try?" NiGHTS asked in excitement.
There was no answer.
The next thing NiGHTS knew was that she was in a very small room. It had two beds, two drawers, two desks, and a mini fridge with a microwave attached to the fridge. One of the beds was completely bare. The other one had purple sheets with yellow stars. NiGHTS assumed that the bed was hers.
Next, NiGHTS looked in the drawer next to her bed. It had a lot of nice clothes in the drawer. She looked at a tag which had her named in it, "Nice sense of style Wizeman," she whispered to herself.
That was when NiGHTS saw a mirror on the door. She decided to look at herself. NiGHTS indeed looked kind of Visitor like, but kind of Nightmaren at the same time. She indeed had hair; it was a short layered with the color of blonde… or orange, it's kind of hard to tell. No matter what color it was, it matched her blue eyes very well, the only thing about her head was that it still had her jester like tassels. Though when she scanned to the nose, she saw that she didn't have one, NiGHTS looked at her torso, she was indeed female. NiGHTS was wearing the same thing as she wore as a Nightmaren.
NiGHTS looked at her hands; they floated above her wrists, as always. NiGHTS guessed that Wizeman tried, but didn't complete her transformation to look like a Visitor.
That was when the door came flinging to her face. She fell down in reaction, and then held onto the part where the nose would be then yelped very loudly.
The one who opened the door was a girl with dark brown hair and brown eyes, or were they green? She wore jeans with an overly fancy looking blouse, almost too fancy to wear jeans with. She looked down at NiGHTS, then began to get frantic, "Oh my God, are you okay? Did I hurt you? Your nose must be bleeding!"
NiGHTS put her hand off her nose, and then began to get up; she looked straight at the girl's face.
The girl also looked at NiGHTS' face, which she thought was strange, so she scream out, "where the Hell is your nose?"
NiGHTS was quite used to not having a nose, yet she forgot that Visitors had noses, "no, its okay, I'm not really human." Yet NiGHTS soon realized what she had said was wrong.
The girl began to laugh, "Then what are you then, The Phantom of the Opera?"
If NiGHTS was going to give this girl some of the truth, then she should give the entire truth, "I'm a… Nightmaren… from the Dream World."
"Oh," the girl paused for a second, "which would explain the horns."
NiGHTS then spurted out the question, "by the way, what are you doing in my room?"
That was when the girl began to laugh, "Your room? It's our room, we're roommates. You probably didn't get the roommate assignment. I tried to call, but I've only gotten some screaming maniac."
There was no knowledge to NiGHTS' head that there were any phones in Nightmare. Yet if it was a screaming maniac, NiGHTS knew who it was, "that's Jackle all right," NiGHTS slightly giggled.
"Is Jackle a relative of yours?" the roommate of NiGHTS' asked.
"Yeah," said NiGHTS, "my brother." Then NiGHTS had a thought, if NiGHTS was going to live with this girl, NiGHTS had better know this girl's name, "so, what's your name?"
"I suppose you didn't see the front door's sign either," NiGHTS' roommate had said, "its Pomona Jones."
"And I'm NiGHTS Wize," NiGHTS took out her hand, "very nice to meet you."
Pomona shook NiGHTS' hand, "my pleasure!"
That was when a black haired girl with braided pigtails and a red mini-dress walked over to them, "is anything the matter? I've heard screaming, twice."
"We screamed?" asked Pomona, "and twice no less?"
NiGHTS took another look at the girl who asked about the screaming; she couldn't believe it, a Visitor that she'd met before, and one that was close to defeating Wizeman none of the less. "Hannie?" NiGHTS asked.
The girl who NiGHTS thought of as Hannie looked at her confused, "do I know you at all?"
That was when NiGHTS had remembered the tragedy that had came to Hannie along with the male Visitor, Reese. After their defeat, Wizeman had taken away any memory of the Night Dimension that the two dreamers had. NiGHTS flew away as fast as she could before Wizeman could do anything with her. "Oh, sorry, you looked like someone I knew once. We'll be quieter, we promise." NiGHTS grabbed the door, and was about to close it.
Hannie grabbed a hold of the door, "but… that's indeed my name. How did you guess my name? You look a little familiar to me, especially with the horns..."
"Um…" NiGHTS looked down; she had no clue, what to say in response to that "I don't know…"
That was when Pomona began to giggle, the giggle soon turned into full laughter, "you actually guessed this girl's name?"
NiGHTS shrugged, "it's only a lucky guess."
Pomona's laugher soon faded out into a giggle, "well, I better unpack my stuff."
"Actually," Hannie told NiGHTS, "how about we go to the Caf? I'm watching my roommate unpack too and it's getting boring."
"Sure," said NiGHTS she hadn't eaten in her life, and wondered what eating would be like for a partial human.
**
"Eggs all Day!" Hannie began to sing out loud, "gotta love Eggs all Day!"
"Eggs?" NiGHTS looked at Hannie surprised, NiGHTS had only seen eggs as something Nightopians came out of, not really as a food item, "you actually eat eggs?"
"Nope, I'm not vegan," Hannie grabbed two trays, and then gave one to NiGHTS, "I just love eggs too much!"
"And being vegan is?" NiGHTS asked as they walked to the counter.
"Not eating meat, cheese, milk or eggs," said Hannie.
They went over to the counter, where they saw a tall well dressed man with tidy brown hair, "well, Hannie," he said softly, "would you like the usual?"
"Yep," said Hannie, "Bacon, ham and sausage omelet!"
"Wow," NiGHTS expressed, "are you also not vegan because you like meat so much?"
Hannie gave NiGHTS a deep stare, and then told the man, "Reese, how about we hold the omelet, I'm going to be a vegan from now on."
"Well, it's your choice," Reese shrugged; he didn't want to argue at all.
Hannie left the egg station to get a salad instead.
NiGHTS had also recognized Reese as a Visitor, but that time NiGHTS didn't say anything about recognizing him, even if she did. NiGHTS had found it strange that she had met two dreamers in her experience in the Waking World already. "Actually, I think I will have the bacon, ham and sausage omelet."
Reese nodded his head, "okay," he poured some eggs onto the pan, once the eggs became cooked, he put the meats in. He folded the eggs in half, and then gave them to NiGHTS. "Enjoy," he gave NiGHTS a smile.
NiGHTS took the plate then put it on her tray. "Thanks," she said, "my name is NiGHTS by the way."
"Mine is Reese Milton," said Reese, "but we should talk later, I have other orders."
NiGHTS walked out of the way, she went other to the eating area. She didn't see Hannie, who was probably still making her salad, but she saw a girl with long pink hair. NiGHTS hadn't seen any Visitors with unusual colored hair in a while. The last two people NiGHTS had met with those kinds of hair colors were Elliot and Claris. They were the first dreamers who managed to defeat Wizeman. Yet those were the older day. NiGHTS sat down with the girl, gave her a huge smile and said, "Hi!"
The girl looked about as old as Hannie, although NiGHTS didn't recognize her, thank goodness that this wasn't a college with all dreamers, there would have been something deeply wrong.
The girl looked up from her over easy eggs, she stared at NiGHTS for a while, then smiled back, "hi, what's your name?"
That was when NiGHTS realized that her name was strange according to humans, but she answered truthfully anyways, "It's NiGHTS Wize."
Those brown eyes of the girl's looked up in a flash, "do you mean like Manton Wize, the very man who is named after this college?"
NiGHTS shrugged, "yeah, my father," yet NiGHTS didn't want to attention of having a father named after the college, "but enough of that, how about your name?"
"Jennifer Sinclair, but you can call me Jen" she said, as she cut the egg with the side of her fork. It gushed out of the egg, and then she smashed it around the whites, "nothing too special really…did you know that Manton is a mystery too us all? Always gives the college donations, but never reveals himself."
NiGHTS nodded her head, but ignored Jen as she picked up a fork then opened up the meaty omelet with the silverware. "Well, it's still a nice name," said NiGHTS, "even if it doesn't have any mystery to it."
Just then, Hannie came over to the table with her salad, "sorry it took so long," she said, "there were so many options at the Salad Bar."
NiGHTS giggled, and then she took a piece of the omelet then put it in her mouth. It was the most savory thing that NiGHTS had ever eaten, yet alone the only thing that NiGHTS had ever eaten.
Hannie looked at the omelet; it looked so delicious, filled with everything that she couldn't eat anymore. Then she looked down at her simple salad, it had croutons, tomatoes, and all of that good stuff, but nothing can compare to eggs and meat. "May I…have some?"
NiGHTS made a huge smile, "yeah, sure!" She wasn't really that hungry, so NiGHTS pushed the plate towards Hannie, "you can have it."
"Well, my few minutes of being a vegan was a different experience," Hannie laughed, "but now I know that it's best just to eat what you like."
Jen nodded her head in agreement, "well, us humans are omnivores, that's what we're built to do."
"Yeah, what we're built to do," NiGHTS agreed. NiGHTS knew what she was built to do, but had refused the fate for many years. Visitors are great, as NiGHTS was reminded of, just a little silly.
**
On the other hand, Reala felt as though he didn't want to accept his fate. Reala had been in deep thought, and realized that maybe, NiGHTS was right about saving Nightopia. Without a rebellious Nightmaren, Nightopia would collapse. Reala thought that NiGHTS' decision to come back to Nightmare was atrocious. If there was no Nightopia, then how the order of the Night Dimension would be balanced? Reala flew as fast as he could to the Dream Gate.
Reala was right on time since he saw a very young child talking to Owl. "This is the door to Nightopia, why not open it to take a look?"
Reala flew in front of the door, "well, well, looks like we have a Visitor with some Ideya in him."
The child looked very frightened, "w-who are you?"
Reala soon realized that it kind of sounded like that he was about to steal the Visitor's Ideya, so he smiled to answer the boy's question, "just a friend."
"James is too smart to fall for your tricks Reala," Owl yelled out in defense, "just because NiGHTS isn't here; doesn't mean you have to go tormenting Visitors."
Reala began to get nervous; he didn't want to give the news to Owl about NiGHTS, especially not in front of a younger Visitor, instead Reala announced, "well, Owl, I am no longer serving Wizeman."
"Hoo, then why are you wearing your Persona?" Owl asked.
The thing about Personas, especially when wearing one for an extensive amount of time was that it got so comfortable, that one would forget that he's wearing one. So Reala ripped the Persona off his face and threw it to the ground. "Now how about we go to Nightopia?"
James pushed the door open and he saw a beach like Nightopia. "Wow, this looks fun!" James cried out. He ran out of the door to play with some Nightopians.
Although Owl was suspicious, "is this all a trick?"
Reala shook his head, "no, I am truly rebelling against the Nightmaren!"
James picked up a Nightopian, ran over to Owl and Reala, and then asked, "What's this?"
"Hoo, those are the Nightopians," Owl explained, "the residence of this world."
Reala was sort of having a good time; there was no one who could stop him, since the other first rank nightmaren was in the Waking World.
Yet Reala didn't' account for the 1.5 rank Nightmaren, because Jackle, flew all the way over to the three, "Reala, Reala, Reala, how surprising to hear that you've rebelled!" Jackle had Reala's Persona in his hand, "or have you just dropped this?"
"No, I threw it to the ground," Reala said annoyed, "I am in the ranks of NiGHTS now."
Jackle had some Goodles behind him, "Minions, capture the traitor, NOW!"
Reala couldn't believe it, he tried to fight off the birds, but they were too strong, soon enough Reala was in the very prison that NiGHTS was often in.
"And unlike you," said Jackle, "I will send this prison to Master Wizeman right away!"
"Hoo, that's smart," said Owl.
So Jackle ordered the Goodles to carry the prison that Reala was contained in to Nightmare.
**
Reala didn't know what will happen to him, he was once again, in front of Wizeman. The punishment would maybe be worse than the one that NiGHTS received so Reala put his Persona back on the bowed to Wizeman, "my greatest apologize, Master."
Wizeman just threw a series of papers at Reala's face.
Reala looked at the papers; it looked like the application to Wize College, the same type that NiGHTS filled out. It looked like Reala would also be taking a trip to the Waking World.
