After the visit with Sarah, Sen wouldn't talk to her mother; she wouldn't even go into the grocery store with her. "Hey dad," Serenity greeted as her mom went to the kitchen. "Did you visit Sarah today?" Sen nodded, "she gave me this," she showed him the book, "huh, it looks worn, be careful," he said, then looked to the kitchen, "what happened today?" he asked. "She asked me not to feed into Sarah's dream, I told her that I will do it just for Sarah's sake and now we aren't talking," Sen said as her father nodded. Just as he went to say something, his phone rang and he went back to work, sighing, Serenity went to her room. Lying down on the bed, she opened the book and started reading, not even coming down for dinner knowing that she would just eat by herself. Midnight came around and Serenity heard her stomach growl in defeat, with the book in hand she went downstairs. Looking in the kitchen, her eyes landed on the fruit bowl that her mom always had in the kitchen, looking in, she found a peach and headed back upstairs. Setting the book down carefully, she sat down and took a bite, it tasted better than any fruit she ever had! Suddenly, fatigue hit her hard, the peach fell from her hand as it rolled its way across the floor, it faded and turned into a crystal. Sen rubbed her eyes as it sat there, in front of her window, suddenly a gloved hand picked it up, and he smiled at her. Tossing the crystal up, she had fallen into a deep slumber. Opening her eyes, she saw a white ballroom, masked people laughing and smiling, she quickly tried to ask people for answers but none of them seemed to see her. She walked around trying to find an answer, or maybe a way out, but instead finding a blonde man, a very flashy dressed man, who seemed to only look at her with amusement. He held her hand, and she took it cautiously, they started to dance elegantly, nearly gliding. "You're him, aren't you?" she asked, "Who? Who am I, Serenity?" he smirked, "the Goblin King, like Sarah told me," she said as he stopped to spin her. "How is Sarah? She seems to always bat away at my goblins, so they never really give me an answer," he seemed different from what she had been told, calm and collected, but nothing is never as it seemed at full glance. "She's fine, still imaginative as ever, but everyone looks down on her for it, she seemed to never really forget the Underground," Serenity smiled, she seemed to have rendered the King speechless for a moment. "So, why am I here? Why place the peach in my house?" she asked, his eyes snapped to her, "you're the one to figure it out," he smirked again, "I can't tell you everything, Serenity," he chuckled. She stopped, "fine then, see you later, Goblin King," she said leaving the man behind.
She looked around, how did Sarah get out? Turning, she ran into the Goblin King again, this time she couldn't speak, he smiled as the music started. "There's such a sad love deep in your eyes, a kind of pale jewel, open and closed, within your eyes" Serenity looked at him, half seeming hypnotized, the other half cautious. "I'll place the sky, within your eyes," Serenity seemed to be completely hypnotized as he spun her around the dance floor, dreaming within a dream as the music continued.
"There's such a fooled heart, beating so fast,
In search of new dreams,
A love that would last within your heart,
I'll place the moon, within your heart…
As the pain sweeps through,
Makes no sense for you,
Every thrill has gone,
Wasn't too much fun at all,
But I'll be there for you,
As the world falls down,
Falling…
(As the world)
Falling down…-"
Sen watched everything glitter and fade, the Goblin king was the last to go along with the music, Sen tried to stay with the dream, "wait! I still need answers!" amusement swept across his features as he gave a wave and faded. Waking to the shaking by her mother, "finally, you need to wake up, I need to go to work early, and I need you to wake your father up by eight thirty to go out the door for his job," she huffed. She turned before she left, "oh, and don't eat in your room if you're only going to take a bite," she said holding a peach with a bite in it. Sen breathed a sigh of relief, it was only a dream. The peach was thrown to her, she caught it. Sarah sat in her home, "Sarah," Hoggle's voice came out, she turned her head and smiled, "Hoggle, is Ludo and Sir Didymus with you?" she asked. "Not this time," he said, hobbling into the room, he held her hand, smiling sadly. Sen ran through the door at that moment, peach in hand, seeing the two, Serenity passed out.
