Sora POV
I felt the sun shine through my window blinds, and I awoke, rubbing my eyes while yawning. 'That was one of the darndest dreams.' I sat up on my bed. 'Eh, It seemed kinda real to be a dream though. Who am I kidding? Gosh, I better lay off those Horror/Sci-fi movies for a while.' Shaking my head, I stood up. 'I'll brush my teeth later--I'm too hungry to do anything now. Hah, Starting to sound like old Taichi now.' And I skipped off to the kitchen.
"Mom, Good morning!" I shouted. "I'll make breakfast again, okay? My treat." Ever since I had met Biyomon, the relationship with my Mom and I had been pretty good. I used to be really close to Dad, but ever since he moved away, I guess my Mom was the substitute. Anyway, I waited for Mom to reply to my greeting, as usual. But today, there was only silence, and the sounds of a spatula clattering against a frying pan.
"Mom..?" I asked once more, a little shyly wondering what was going on. I took a few more steps in the kitchen. My appearance seemed to have caught my Mom's attention. "I said, 'Good Morning.' "
I didn't get a kind reply, really. It was shouts and 'shoos' of anger. "What are you doing in my house?" And I saw my Mom's eyes begin to swell up with fear. "Get out! OUT!" I watched her tremble, grabbing a nearby broom, jabbing it in my direction. I felt both confused and hurt.
"Mom! What are you doing?!" I shouted, but it seemed like she didn't hear me or something like that. I saw my Mom open the cabinet that stored the knifes, and other sharp instruments. I decided to run out the open door, before anything bad happened. Once I got out the door, I didn't stop. I kept on running, and running. Running down the flight of stairs that connected the apartment rooms, tears swelling up in my eyes. I didn't stop till I reached the base of the Apartment. I didn't understand why Mom had acted so hostile. I started to feel really bad about myself now, and times like these, I needed a shoulder to lean on--You know. A friend to talk this out to.
I didn't want to disturb sleeping beauty--aka, Taichi Kamiya. I figured the only one would be awake was Yamato. He was always there by my side. Before I clambered up the long flight of stairs, water collected in a ditch grabbed my attention. Cautiously, I stepped over to the puddle, and peered into the reflection. I didn't see Sora--myself. I didn't see a human. I saw a fierce bird--a hawk, peering back at me with it's brown eyes..MY brown eyes. This was getting too weird. I swayed back and forth, both in shock and confusion. I told myself to stay Calm--That all this was nothing but a Bad Dream. Speaking of Dream, My thoughts jumped over to the one I had. Could this dream..? No, That's impossible. I'm dreaming, yeah, that's what it is. 'And when I go visit Yamato--Lemme guess. He'll be an animal too. HAH!' I laughed to myself at the thought.
Since I was a 'bird' now. I guess I should take advantage of its abilities in my little 'Dream' World. Instead of running up all those stairs, With a few flaps of my arms..uh..Wings? I easily moved up three stories, and perched on the hand rail. "What a nice Dream.." I convinced myself. Conveniently, the door was Ajar. 'I bet Yamato's Dad is cooking again.' I laughed, remembering his Dad's 'Caution: Man in Kitchen" apron.' I slipped through the door--I guess it wont bother them -too- much if I sneak in. After all, This is just a dream.
Inside, I looked around for Yamato's messy room, and I found it--the one with the blond-haired boy inside muttering as usual. I hopped inside. "Morning Yamato." I greeted, to the person digging for a new attire in the pile of clothes.
"What? Whose there?" A voice answered coldly, peering up. His eyes and mine locked together, and I could see the shock grow in his blue eyes. "The hell, How did you get in? And how do you know my name? Must be Mimi's annoying parrot--Well, It's a rather Large parrot..but..bleh..Stupid Bird..Ah..Here, Lemme show you the way out."
His words bounced off my skull, as though it was rubber. I was shocked. "Y- Y-Yamato!" Oh god, doubt ran in my mind. I don't think this is a dream anymore. BUT, It has to be. I'm so confused!

Yamato POV
'Damn Overgrown parrot! I'm going to find that shotgun one day..' I grumbled. "Bird-Brain.." I don't really like Birds that much--Too talkative and Brainy. Reminds me of Motor-Mouth Koushirou and his useless knowledge. "C'mon Bird, Didn't you hear me? SHOO!" I walked and opened my Room Door. As I passed the bird, I felt..something weird. The bird looks familiar. Something about those eyes..Reminds me of someone. Eh, Too much dramatic movies. Still, I wonder...
****
Sora POV
"Y-Y-You're..a wolf." I said in shock. A wolf. Those words rang through my head. This is getting really freaky. My comment seemed to have seeped into that thick skull of his, and I saw his Icy blue Eyes Light up a little- amused, laughter, and a bit of shock.
He made no reply. I said shakily, "Look into your Mirror." He had done what I asked him too, and I saw his eyes grow wide with disbelief. "I-I- I...You..What the HELL is going on?!" The wolf bared his teeth. "What kind of evil are you, and what have you done to me?!"
Once he gets mad, it was hard to cool him down. "It's me..Sora.." I choked out. Dream. Just a dream.
"Sora?" I heard him laugh. "I'm in a good mood for a joke. Really."
"I know it's hard to believe..." I began, looking down. I started to lose my confidence in whether this was reality or not. "It's me. I think this is some crazy dream world or something."
"You aren't Sora. No, No. You can't be. Stop messing with my head!" The wolf started to back up.
"Yamato Matt Ishida..." I sighed. "If you don't believe me, I guess I'll have to leave now." I hopped near the door.
*****
Yamato POV
This was messing up my head. What was going on. It seems so real, yet a dream of some sort--I hope. Sora. That's what the ..thing in my room keeps on saying it is. The thing that made me turn into this. Those eyes--They so remind me of Sora. Could it really be? But...How.. Shit. She's going to leave now. If she leaves, whether she's Sora or not, I won't be able to find out what's going on. I have to take this situation into my advantage. Keep calm, Ishida Boy.
"Wait." I said, cooly. "Fine, I'll believe you are Sora." I said, with doubt. I didn't know what was going on, but I will find out. As those words escaped my lips, I saw the little bird turn around.
"You mean it?" The bird asked me. I didn't know what to say. "Yeah, whatever. So tell me "Sora," how did YOU Get to be like THAT?" I said in sarcasm. Whatever, this is 'dream' world isn't it. Pretty soon, I know I'm going to wake up right now--any minute now, Dad'll be shouting for Breakfast. Yep. I stepped foward towards the bird, one leg at a time. Hey, standing on four legs really isn't that Bad. In the midst of my walking, I happened to step upon a loose nail sticking out of the floorboard. "DAMMIT! That hurt!" Cheap Apartment Rooms. After my brain ignored the pain, the words I shouted rung in my head. 'That Hurt.' ..You can't feel anything while you're dreaming..unless...unless..
"Yamato?! Are you alright?" I heard the soft voice interupt. That stinging pain throbbed in my foot. Pain.
"Sora..?" I began fearfully. I was interupted by the hinge squeak of a door opening. I heard a little chatter after the squeak stopped.
"Yamato! I heard you shout! What's wrong big brother? Oh my Gosh!"
"Takeru!" I shouted. He..he had changed too!
****
Sora POV
I stared in shock, over at Takeru. He didn't look like his cute plump self. He had grown whiskers--and resembled a rodent. This was getting too weird. I looked over to Yamato's wounded leg, and gasped. He had said it hurt. This was no dream, It was a nightmare! NO! Is this really happening? I couldn't believe my eyes.
"Takeru! Stay Calm!" I shouted, shutting the only exit completely so that Takeru couldn't escape. "It's me...Sora."
"And it's me, You're Brother!" I heard Yamato chimed in. It seemed the little boy would not listen.
"Wow! I can talk to Animals! This is cool! Hey, you aren't Sora. And you aren't my big brother. You're just a bird and a wolf! I would like to play with you and all, but, I gotta go get dressed." The little rodent chittered. Poor kid.
"Takeru. It's us." Yamato mumbled. "I wouldn't be so surprised, haven't YOU looked in the mirror lately?" I saw the little boy look perplexed. I saw the little rodent, scramble around a bit, looking for a reflective object. It found a CD lying conveniently across the messy floor. I watched the little boy take a gander in it, then run around in a frenzy with horror on its face.
"Waah! I wanna wake up! I Don't like this Dream, DADDY!!!" The little boy cried. It broke my heart to see the little child try to sort out the confusing facts of this new reality.
"Takeru, I'm sorry. But, this isn't a dream. Please, if you want to understand what's going on, You have to first calm down." I said. I saw his little blue eyes look over to the Wolf, puzzled on what to do.
"You better listen to her." The wolf sneered. Obediently, the little boys eyes moved back onto me.
"I really don't know what's going on..But, Eh, Do you remember anything guys know how this happened? Because I would like to know." I said.
"Well, if it helps you any, all I do remember is this strange dream. And that's about it. Pretty helpful, Huh?" He laughed a little, sitting down, licking his injured front paw. Even at times like this, he manages to laugh things off. Whoa..This dream he was talking about. Could it be..No. This is silly.
"Dream? Yamato! I had a dream too!" The little rodent chimed in. "It was about you, and Taichi, and everyone else. And we were fighting this bad guy. And...we...lost.." He trailed off. This was way too weird. That's the same exact one I had. This is really really strange..
"I remember a dream like that." I said.
"So Did I." The wolf admitted. "Hey, Taichi, Mimi, Jyou, Koushirou, Hikari-- Do you think th--" He was interupted by a loud thump and a nervous shouting sound coming from above the ceiling. "Yep, I bet they changed also."
"Lemme guess, Jyou lives in the room above yours." I mumbled.
"How'd you ever guess." He rolled his eyes. "I bet he discovered a little change this morning. We better grab the others and investigate. I still think this is a crazy dream. C'mon. We should pay Jyou a little visit before he passes out of shock or something."
