Stryker J: Listen...Uhm, Kaylee.

Kaylee: Yes...?

The look within Kaylee's eyes showed that she was into Stryker J. But he did not feel the same. The way she stared at him, made it harder for the boy to say what he needed to say.

Stryker J: Listen, you're welcome for being saved...but why strike a relationship with me?

Kaylee: Why else? You saved my life and you should be rewarded.

Marie: And by "rewarded" you chose to be the girlfriend of some boy you've just met.

Stryker J: Hrm...why does that sound so...familiar...?

Honoka: So Kaylee? Why were those men bothering you?

Eliot: Yeah...I'd like to know that myself.

Kaylee: They wanted me for a little...experiment. And when I asked them to leave me alone, they wouldn't take no for an answer. So I chose to walk away. And when one of them grabbed me, I managed to get loose...

Eliot: So you ran.

Kaylee: Yes, that's when they chased me down this alley and cornered me. Telling me that I was needed for something great.

Marie: Something great?

Kaylee: I don't know what they were talking about...and honestly, I don't want too.

Stryker J: That's when we showed up.

Kaylee: Yes. You saved me life and I'll never forget that. Thank you so much.

Stryker J: You're welcome and all but is it worth it too...

Marie: To turn him into your boyfriend?

Stryker J: Yeah...that.

Kaylee: Of course. I had to reward you somehow.

Eliot: Well, not that I am keen on gaining something for a good deed but might as well accept it, Stryker.

Stryker J: I don't know...I'm not in the mood for relationships.

Honoka: Why not? Don't you like dating?

Stryker J: Well, it's not that, it's just...

Before Stryker J could say anything, another sound of screaming echoed through the air.

Eliot: Huh? Another scream?

Marie: Who needs help this time?

Stryker J: Come on!

Stryker J took off running, looking for the one who made the scream.

Eliot: Stryker! Wait up!

Marie: Here we go again.

Stryker J made it into the area, where he fought against Sly. There, he saw a girl being harassed by two other punks in black hoods.

Stryker J: Them again? How many of these guys are there?

?: C'mon on, sweetheart. What's the deal?

?: Yeah, come with us and we can...

?: I said NO! Now back off and leave me alone.

Stryker J: Get away from her!

The punks in hoods turned around to see Stryker J standing behind them.

?: Get lost, kid. Yeah, this has got nothing to do with you.

Stryker J: She said she didn't wanna be bothered already so just take a hike!

?: You got a big mouth, kid. Better be careful what you say.

Stryker J: I won't say it again.

The punks looked at one another and turned to the girl.

?: Stay right where you are, sweetie.

?: Yeah, this won't take long.

The began to walk towards Stryker J, trying to bring nerves into the boy. However, Stryker J stood there, with no fear in his heart. One of them began to laugh and looked to his partner, with much amusement.

?: You're gonna be in for some pain.

With that, one of them tried to land a punch but Stryker J simply moved his head to the side. The punk tried again but Stryker J grabbed his arm, slipped between his legs and kicked him, in the back. The other punk tried a punch but with every swing, Stryker J continued to evade them...which confused him.

Stryker J: This is strange...normally, one of these punches would've landed a hit on me...but it hasn't. Is this because it's a dream?

Eventually, Eliot, Honoka, Marie and even Kaylee arrived to see Stryker J making a fool out of the punks. They grew tired of missing a single hit. Nodding to one another, one punk came with a flying kick behind Stryker J, while the other ran after him with a frustrated punch.

Honoka: STRYKER!

Stryker J was ready...he stood there, eyes closed and so calm. Once he heard there screams, Stryker J ducked down. With such force, the two punks punched and kicked each other in the gut and face, knocking each other out and falling to the ground.

Stryker J: That's gotta hurt.

With much ease and mellow, Stryker J walked over to the girl who was harassed.

Stryker J: Hey there, you alright?

?: How...how did you do that...?

Stryker J: With jerks like them, they don't focus, when it comes to a fight. So it's pretty easy.

Marie: Hmph, he fights one battle with them and all of a sudden, he's so confident.

Eliot: Technically, he beat four of them.

Honoka: He's right and with no scratches on him.

Kaylee: He's amazing...I knew I picked the right guy.

Marie: Oh brother.

Stryker J: So...why were those guys messing with you?

?: I don't know, I never bothered asking. All I know was I wanted them to back off of me.

Strker J: Well, they're gone now. Are you alright?

?: Yeah.

Stryker J: That's good.

As Stryker J stared at the girl, he noticed something familiar about her...and that's when it hit him.

Stryker J: JACKPOT!

?: Huh?

Stryker J: I knew there was a reason why you looked familiar!

?: Familiar?

Stryker J: You're the girl from that anime; Heaven's Lost Property, aren't you?

?: Heaven's Lost...Property? Anime? What're you talking about?

Stryker J: Huh? You don't know you're own anime?

Eliot: Did we forget to mention that part?

Stryker J: Huh?

Eliot: This is your dream, remember? Whatever you create or wish, will end up here, in Daylight Town.

Stryker J was confused by it...but gave it much thought and came to a solution.

So...is he saying that everything I want or wish to happen is gonna show up in my dream at some point? Hrm...

Eliot: Stryker, you okay?

Stryker J: So whatever I wish, it'll happen, right?

Honoka: Mhm, that's right.

Stryker J: Hrm...well, I wish for a...

Marie: A what?

Out of nowhere, a bag of chips appeared in Stryker J's hands.

Marie: A big of chips...?

Stryker J: Not just any bag of chips...a bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos!

Honoka: Are they any good?

Stryker J: They're incredible!

Eliot: I'd like to try some.

Marie: Seriously...?

?: You sure are weird, you know that?

Stryker J: I've been told. So what's your name?

?: It's Nymph.

Nymph...I knew it. I knew it was her. So then Eliot and the other were right.

Honoka: I wanted that one!

Eliot: Come on, there's plenty left inside.

Stryker J: Huh? What the...? HEY, don't eat them all!

Eliot: Well, you better start snacking and not dreaming.

Nymph: What a bunch of weirdos.

Marie: You're telling me...

Kaylee: They're so cute...especially Stryker.

Marie: Oh brother...I forgot you were still here.
