Dreaming of You
The next day, Allison is running through the halls because she took a quick 10-minute nap which turned into a 30-minute nap and she is late for Gym class. She runs into William. "Why are you here?" She asked. "I overslept, you?" "Same!" The both laughed. William stopped and sniffed the air. "Do you smell blood?" "I don't know. What does blood smell like?" "Horrible." Allison looks around and sees a thin layer of blood on the ground. "Let's follow it!" They do and come across a door with a puddle of blood on it. "What the fuck!" Allison said. William uses his sleeve to open the door. "Are you sure?" "Yes, I think we should." He opens the door and Allison, and William let out a big scream. "Oh my gosh!" Allison cries. William breathes heavy. He grabs Allison and they both fall to the floor and starts to cry. "We should tell Mr. Delmas!" Allison said. "What! I don't want to get in trouble!" William said. "We didn't do any," Allison said sternly. "Right, we didn't!" William said. They get up and took a deep breath and run.
"Now, we are going to work on something call Javelin. Or what I like to call, pay attention or pain away!" Jim starts. The class seems uninterested anyway. "This is so boring!" Odd said. "That last time we did this, it was Jeremy's clone that was taken over by XANA," Ash said. "Tell me about it!" Ulrich. "Do you need to bring that up!" Jeremy said. "Who is talking?" Jim asked. Allison arrives, and Jim smiles. "Look who it, Ms. Jones has graced us with her presence." "I'm sorry, I'm late," Allison said. "That us just too bad, you can run five laps while the rest of us watch, ha-ha!" "What!" Allison was upset. I am not myself today, and he wants to see me die, Allison thought to herself. "Get to it, Ms. Jones!" Allison starts to run when Mr. Delmas appears. "Hold it!" He said. Allison falls. "We need to cancel classes immediately," Mr. Delmas said. "What for sir?" Jim asked. "I will tell you the details!"!" " Mr. Delmas looks at the class. "All classes are dismissed, please do not go back to your dorms until further notice!" "What is the deal?" Dawn asked. Brock helps Allison up. Why did he tell William and I to go to class if he was going to do this? Allison thinks to herself. "Hey, why were you late?" Aelita asked. "I'll tell you later," Allison said.
A few minutes later, the group talks in the courtyard. "What is happening?" Ulrich asked. Allison looks down. Her stomach aches and she looks down. "Hey, what's wrong?" Ash asked. He kisses her, and she looks up. "I'm just worried," she said. Yumi and William walk by. "I see an ambulance near the dorms, what's up with that?" Yumi asked. "An ambulance!" Jeremy said. William and Allison both look down. "Is there something going on? Both William and Allison look worried," Odd said. "It's just weird that I came late to class only to have it canceled five minutes later," William said. The group laughs. Lesteria and Leya skipped past the group. "What is happening? Why are the police here?" Leya asked. "Police?" Brock asked. "Yep. It looks like Law and Order: Criminal Minds," Lesteria said. "Aren't you two a bit young for that show?" William asked. "No!" Leya said. Dawn laughs. "Why is there a blueberry laughing at us?" Leya asked. Dawn growls, and the group laughs. Hiroki runs to his sister. "Someone's hurt! I saw someone in the ambulance!" "Whoa!" Lesteria said. "How did you see that?" "I took a peak and saw the police taking a stretcher inside the dorms." William and Allison tensed. Jeremy noticed. "What are you two tensed about?" Allison looks at Jeremy. "No reason. It is just scary to think that someone got hurt." "We saw a person too but..." Lesteria thinks. "What's going on? Why did you stop?" Ash asked. "It was weird," Leya said. "I believe the person had a sheet covered over them." The whole group was still. "What does that mean, Ash?" Leya asked. Hiroki answered instead. "It implies that the person is dead." "Dead!" Lesteria shouted. Allison gets up. "I'll be right back!" William follows her. Allison looks like she is about to puke. "Are you okay?" "No! We saw him. We found him. I can't stomach this!" "You need to be strong!" "How are you?" "By thinking about the friends I have. You need to do the same." Allison comes around and goes back. "Are you okay Allison?" Dawn asked. "Yes," Allison said. "Do you two know who it is?" Hiroki asked abruptly. "What kind of question is that?" William asked. "You and Allison seemed to tense up all the time. You both must know who is it." "Slow down!" Aelita said. Ash pulls Allison aside. "Do you know who is under the sheet?" Allison starts to hold her stomach. "You can tell me, Ali." Allison smiles and whispers to Ash who it is. Ash jumps. "What!" Everyone looks at him. "What did she tell you?" Brock asked. Ash is blindsided and looks at the twins. " What did she say?" Leya asked. Ash could not answer. "It must have been something sarcastic!" Hiroki said. "Hiroki! That was rude!" Yumi shouted. "It was not anything like that!" Ash said. Hiroki rolled his eyes. "Hey, where is Johnny? I have not seen him all day," Leya asked. "Me neither. He was in our group for History Jeopardy!" Lesteria said. William and Allison tensed up again. Aelita notices their facial expressions changed when Johnny's name was mentioned. Aelita quickly puts the pieces together. "Where is he? He would be thrilled about this event at school," Hiroki said. "He's not coming!" William shouted. "William!" Allison yells. "Why not?" Lesteria asked. "Because...he's the one under the sheet!" The three young ones were shocked. The group as well. "Is this true?" Leya asked Allison. "No!" Hiroki shouts. "He is just saying that to hurt me to get back and Yumi for not choosing him over Ulrich!" "Hiroki stop it!" Allison said. "It's true! Johnny is...Johnny is..." Allison starts to cry. The twins and Hiroki run off. Dawn and Aelita sit down. "Oh my gosh!" They both said. "This is not true!" Brock said. "You fucking idiot! what they hell will you tell them like that!" Allison yells. "Because we can't keep beating around the bush!" William shouts back. "This is not the time to be yelling!" Brock shouts. Allison picks up her bag and leaves.
Two hours later, Mr. Delmas is delivering the sad news to the middle school students first. "It is with my deepest regrets that I must inform you that one of your own, Johnny Deniel, has passed away this morning..." The students were confused, upset, and sad all of the same time. Meanwhile, the high school students heard the news and were crying as well. "I can't believe it!" Sissi cries. Allison starts to cry but looks at Yumi who is on the phone with her mother. "What do you mean it's gone! Mom, I know Hiroki told you about Johnny, do we really this right know?" "What's going on?" Allison asked. "Someone broke into Yumi's house and it appears that something was stolen," Odd said. "That's horrible!" "Mom, when the principal is finish, we will get home!" Yumi hangs up. "When did it happen?" Jeremy asked. "I believe it the day we went to Tyron's lab," Yumi said. "I'm sorry!" Ash said. "It's okay! Honestly, I just can't believe today!" Yumi said. The group of friends hugged. William enters and sees the group embrace without him. He starts to walk away when Aelita calls out to him. "I know you want a hug as well!" William smiles and hugs them. Later that night Leya and Lesteria went to see Ash and Allison. When they saw their "parents" they ran to them and broke down crying. "Just cry!" Ash told Lesteria. "Just cry!" At the Ishyama residence, Hiroki is doing his homework. Yumi and her parents worry about him. "Are you okay?" Akiko ask. "Please stop asking me! I told you at dinner that I am fine," Hiroki said. "I don't believe that! You just lost your best friend and we were just robbed and..." Takeho said. "Dad!" Yumi shouts. Hiroki gets his things and leaves. Allison looks outside the window and stares at the moon. "You and William found the body?" Jeremy asked. "Yes," Allison said. "That must have been...horrible," Dawn said. "It was." "We dealt with worse as Fairy Soldiers," Odd said. "That's the thing, as Fairy Soldiers, not as plain old us," Aelita said. "We can get through this and we can help Lesteria, Leya, and Hiroki get through this," Ash said. "We're stronger than any negative force," Dawn said. Ulrich and Brock walk in with the twins. "I think they wanted to see us but were too tired to keep walking," Ulrich said. Ash and Allison took the twins and rocked them to sleep. "I hope everything is going be okay," Brock said. "I hope everything is going to be okay," Yumi said as she look out the window. Hiroki is wide awake with tears from his eyes. "I'm okay!" He said to himself.
