Hi again. Here's chapter two. I am extreamly annoyed with how long I took to upload (stupid school and dentist!) but don't worry. The next will come sooner as I'm almost done with it now. Anyway I bet you thought Julie's in Nightopia now huh? Well, not yet. She gets there in a bit of a...different...way. Now for review replies! Why? Because I'm so happy with the amount of reviews I got. -sniff- (I'm a sap. I know.) Thank you!

lovecanchangelife-Gah! -flails and falls over. peeks over desk- Thank you malak. I take it that you like it.

joakkar-Thank you!

Crystal Cerberus-Thanks! Um...now how do I explain this?...There isn't a pairing but there may be a few things that could be considered hints even though that's not what they're meant to be. Erm, does that make sense?

Angel6530-Don't worry. I intend to. Thanks for reviewing!

Jazzy Kat-Thank you!

Disclaimer-I don't own NiGHTS, or anything from his world. They all belong to Sega. I do own Julie, Julie's mom, Cupcake, and...oh you get the idea.

The sun shown through Julie's still open window, hitting her eyes and waking her up. She yawned widely and glanced down at her essay, moaning when she saw it wasn't finished. She slammed her head angrily on her writing desk but when she was finished she picked up her pencil and wrote the last sentence. Julie then got up and opened her closet door, looking for her pj's. It was still Saturday morning after all! She picked out a pair of light blue pants and a light blue tee-shirt, both decorated with white clouds. After putting them on, she half-walked half-stumbled down the stairs to the kitchen.

"Mew!" Cupcake looked up at Julie with her emerald green eyes.

"Morning yawn Cupcake." She mumbled, scratching the cat's ears, making her purr. Julie dug a bag of cat kibble and a box of cereal out of the cabinet, placing the later on the counter. She opened the bag of cat kibble and poured some into Cupcake's bowl before putting it away. The cat walked over to her feeding bowl and started to munch happily on her breakfast. Julie got out a bowl, a spoon, and a carton of milk and made a bowl of cereal. She put the milk back, walked out to the living room, closely followed by Cupcake who had finished her kibble, and sat on the couch to watch Saturday moring cartoons. Cupcake jumped onto the couch next to Julie, who was chewing thoughtfully on her cereal.

'Who was that guy who spoke in my thoughts right before I fell asleep? I must have just been imagening it...But...It seemed so real...'

"Mew?" Cupcake drove Julie out of her thoughts with a concerned meow. Julie smiled and petted her cat.

"It's alright. I'm just thinking." The brunette sighed. After an hour of munching on cereal, watching cartoons, and petting Cupcake, Julie went back to the kitchen and depostited her dirty bowl and spoon in the sink. As Julie passed by the closed basement door, she heard something rattle. She stopped and stepped back, looking at the door. Cupcake's fur bristled and she growled at the door. Julie turned and stared at her cat. Cupcake NEVER growled. Julie had thought that meowing and purring were the only sounds she was capable of making. The brunette quickly grabbed the first thing she found, a spatula, from the kitchen drawer to 'defend herself' and threw open the door. There was nothing down there that looked out of the ordinary. She walked down the steps, clutching her spatula to her chest and glancing around worriedly. Again, nothing was wrong. Julie turned around in a circle and finally noticed a small box laying on its side next to a rickedy old table. She walked over to the table and bent down to pick the box up. It was about the size of a shoe box and was black with spiraled purple designs but the thing that drew Julie's attention was the design of a bright yellow cresent moon and the white star that sat on the lower part of the cresent in the middle of the box. Julie put down her spatula and gently shook it. The contents of the box rattled a little. Julie sighed with relief.

"This must have just rattled when it fell off the table." She said to herself as she shook it again and listened to the rattle of the box. "I wonder what's in here." Julie kneeled down and set the box on the floor before removing it's cover. She was mildly surprised by how little was in the box. It only contained a cresent moon shaped amulet on a golden chain and a playing card. Julie picked the amulet up and gazed in awe at how shiny it was for being down here for who knows how long. She hooked it around her neck and looked in the dusty mirror across the room. It looked almost like it was made for her and the brunette couldn't help but smile.

"Mom probally won't mind if I wear this." Julie bent down and picked up the playing card. It had the exact same style of the box on one side, down to the yellow cresent moon and white star, but on the other was something totally different. It had a black jester-like shape in the middle, looking like a shadow. The background was split into five colors, yellow, white, blue, green, and red. Julie looked down at the bottom of the box. There was nothing else in it but a fine coating of dust...and yet...

"There's something written here!" The preteen realized as she tried to clear the dusk from the bottom. The words suddenly lit up in gold, making Julie yelp and fall back in surprise and fear. When nothing else happened, she caustiously approached the box and gazed at the words.

Amulet chant- Shining Moon! Lend me your power!

Julie stared at it, utterly confused. Then, she realized it was talking about the amulet that had been in the box, the amulet that was currently hanging around her neck. Her hands shook as she took the chain off her neck and held the cresent moon in the palm of her hand. She was scared but, more than that, she was curious about what it would do. In the end, her curiousity won out.

"Shining Moon! L-lend me your power!" Julie screamed as the moon nearly exploded in a flash of light. It grew larger as a staff grew from it. Julie's clothes seemed to flicker and change as well. Then, it was all over, almost as suddenly as it had started. Julie fell weakly to her knees, starting at the transformed necklace. It was now a long blue and yellow wand-like staff with a cresent moon on the tip. She slowly started to reach for it but a cloud of light blue smoke appeared in front of her with a small 'pop', sending her reeling backward with yet another scream. She stared as the smoke cleared and revealed a hat. It was mostly green with a kind of cloth belt around the part closest to someone's head that had an orange trim and yellow buttons. It had two long rounded cloth 'horns' hanging down that looked similar to floppy rabbit ears. Julie realized with a jolt that it was a jester hat. Her curiousity out weighed her shock, however, and she reached for the hat. When she put it on, she found out it was actually pretty comfortable. As her shock went away, Julie also found that she didn't feel the light material of her pjama bottoms on her legs. She turned to the dusty old mirror again and received another minor shock. Her pj's were gone and in their place was a colorful and strange outfit. She now wore a green tee-shirt with an orange vest over it. The vest had a yellow trim and yellow buttons. The reason she didn't feel the material on her legs was that she was now wearing green shorts with orange and yellow designs going down the sides. The last parts of the outfit were a pair of green socks, green gloves with orange trim on the wrists, and a pair of green and orange shoes with two yellow buttons on either one that were at least two times bigger than her feet.

'This is the jester outfit I drew in class yesterday!'

Julie stared for a second at her new outfit. It was a little strange but it didn't look BAD on her... Julie smiled slightly and danced around in front of the mirror, ending in her facing the mirror with a two fingered salute and a wink. She managed to hold the position for a few seconds before breaking down and giggling. The jester costume was surprisingly easy to move in. The large shoes, which she thought would be hard to move in without falling, actually made her more agile. Julie stopped examining her costume when she saw something flash gold out of the corner of her eye. The brunette turned toward the box to see more words had appeared. She reapproached the box, picking up the blue and yellow wand as she walked. She really didn't have to get that close to read the words shinning in the bottom of the box.

Use Card. Wand will know what to do.

'Shining Moon and Star of Light

Take me to the world of NiGHTS

NiGHTS into Dreams!'

All of Julie's fear and cautiousness had left her, leaving her curious and, strange as it was, somewhat happy. She picked the card up off the floor and turned it jester side up.

"Alright, here goes nothing! Shining Moon and Star of Light- Ahhh!" The card shot out of Julie's hand and spun around. She managed to grab it but it was now facing with the Moon and Star side up. "Ooookay..." The female took a deep breath and continued.

"Take me to the world of NiGHTS!" The card spun out of her hand and floated high into the air above her as the wand jerked upward high above her head, dragging her arm with it. Her other hand grabbed the wand as a reflex. The card floated down, jester side up, and when it was about a foot above the ground the wand dragged her arms down and hit the jester on the card with the cresent moon on the tip of the wand. A bright light emitted from the card and it took a second for Julie to remember the last line of the chant.

"NiGHTS into Dreams!" The card disappeared and a huge white portal opened up under her feet. Time seemed to stop for a split second as Julie thought one thing.

'Ohhh! I KNEW this was a bad idea!"

Time unfroze and Julie clung to her wand, screaming, as she fell through the portal.

Okay, first of all, I'm sorry there's no NiGHTS in this chapter. He plays a much bigger role in the next and second of all, please review! Thank you!
