The two woke up a few hours later, the sun starting to set in the west. Will opened his eyes to stare into NiGHTS' lovely blue orbs,. And leaned forward to give her a soft peck on the lips. She smiled, blushing slightly and returned the peck. The two got up off the ground and set off for the Dream Gate.
It was a peaceful journey back with few Nightmaren that NiGHTS easily dealt with. Will walked beside her until they reached the Gate, where Owl was waiting for them. "Where have you two been! Hoo!" He shouted, thrusting a questioning wing toward them. NiGHTS and Will shared looks, and blushed. "You know...doing stuff.." Will said, scratching the back of his head. NiGHTS nodded quickly along with him. Owl cocked an eyebrow before shrugging it off. "Anyway, I heard you had a run-in with Reala." He said. NiGHTS nodded. "Yup! We kicked his tail 'cross the world!" She exclaimed with a grin.
"Yeah! We sure showed him!" Will said before chuckling. The two shared a laugh, and then looked back at Owl. "You two did a great job, teaching that rapscallion a lesson!" He said, attempting to give them a thumbs-up, but only succeeded in messing up his feathers. He shook himself to fix his coat, then looked at Will. "I think you should check out the Lost Park for anything out of the ordinary. There's been a large number of Nightopians disappearing there." He said. Will nodded before heading to the door to the Lost Park with NiGHTS.
In the Lost Park, the two explored the desert landscape for any Nightmaren, but only found some commons, which were easily dispatched. All seemed well, until the saw a Nightopian struggling in the sand, trying to get free from something. When NiGHTS and Will, drew near, the small creature slipped underground with nothing more than a squeal of terror.
Minutes later, a large scorpion Nightmaren lifted out of the ground and roared at them. NiGHTS jumped back and got in battle position, and Will pulled out a Chip in case they needed to stun it. It lunged forward, its tail poised to strike, and NiGHTS skillfully flew out of the way, letting its tail stab itself into a rock. Will threw a Chip into the Nightmaren's mouth as it roared in fury, stunning it long enough for NiGHTS to fly a Paraloop around it. The small blue explosion inside the circle of Twinkle Dust sucked in the monster and destroyed it.
Will sighed in relief at its destruction. "Nice job, NiGHTS!" He said, grinning at the purple Nightmaren. She grinned back, and landed beside him, giving him a hug. "Good job, yourself!" She exclaimed. Will chuckled and kissed her, just as she had after their fight with Reala. NiGHTS blushed at the sudden kiss, but returned it quickly, her tongue poking at Will's lips, asking permission to enter. Will parted his lips, and let her tongue explore his mouth. Will slipped his tongue into her mouth, and his and her tongues wrestled for dominance. NiGHTS' blush deepened as they played tonsil hockey, and a low moan was building up inside her throat.
Will finally pulled away, a thin trail of saliva between the two's lips, and smiled. NiGHTS smiled back sweetly, and gave him a small peck on the cheek before the two headed back to the Dream Gate.
