"Chihiro.... Chihiro…" A familiar voice called. A voice she hadn't heard in a long time. Suddenly a face appeared in the clouds. "Chihiro… We need you here…Please come soon…" The face turned to a silver dragon that disappeared into the clouds. " Chihiro… Chihiro…Chihiro, wake up!"

Chihiro sat up at once to see her mom's figure in the doorframe. "Get up Chihiro, you're going to be late for school."

"Alright mom." Chihiro said sleepily. She yawned as she got ready.

Chihiro run downstairs, gobbled up her food and torn out the door, "Got to go, I'm late meeting Kiko."
When she got to their meeting place, Kiko was already there, waiting for her.

"What took you so long?" Chihiro's friend asked.

"I slept in."

Chihiro thought about her friend Kiko. She helped her feel welcome here when Chihiro's family moved here. From that first day, Chihiro and Kiko have been the best of friends. They were inseparable, they did everything together.

"So what's up." said Chihiro.

"Summer vacation's next week, I want to get a job. I saw this awesome stereo at the mall yesterday, I want to earn money to buy it. It has all these cool features…"

As they walked to the finally days of school Chihiro thought about her dream. What a weird dream. That face looks so familiar, where have I seen it before? And what did he mean by "we need you here"? Where's "here"? Chihiro thought hard. Then it hit her: that face belongs to Haku, an old friend who helped her long ago. And "here" must be where he lives, the spirit world, in the bathhouse Aburaya.

Chihiro smiled at her memories. It's been five years since she and her parents wandered accidentally into that world. But why do they need her?

"Chihiro, Chihiro! Hello, anybody home? Are you all right?"Kiko's voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Why wouldn't I be all right?"

"Well for one thing, you're not watching where you're going, you are about to walk into a tree branch."

Chihiro looked up just in time and ducked.

"And you haven't been listening to a word I said have you." Kiko put her hands on her hips and looked at Chihiro.

"Sorry." Chihiro said sheepishly.

"What's wrong?" Kiko sounded concerned.

Chihiro paused, she never told anyone about her adventure. "Nothing, um, just thinking, that's all."

Kiko didn't look convinced but said nothing.
All day Chihiro daydreamed while her teachers lectured. She got yelled at a couple of times, but she just couldn't stop thinking about her dream. What does it mean?
