Chapter 5
Yakko sighed as he fell asleep. In his dreams he kept waiting for
her, waiting for his love. He sat down in the mists of his subconscious and
kept believing she would come.
"Please Cassie, you promised you would come back." His voice echoed.
When he heard no response he sat down and cried. A lot of emotions ran
through him. Despair, anger, and love. He wanted Cassie in his arms again.
He wanted to be with her.
He all of a sudden sat up straight. He heard something. He looked
around, nothing. It was only his imagination he told himself sadly. He
closed his eyes and water fell from his face and hit the ground as gravity
pulled the tears down.
"Don't cry."
He gasped and looked up into the face of Cassie. Her voice seemed to
him soft and very weak but he did hear her.
"Cassie?" Yakko whispered. She nodded.
"I'm sorry I couldn't come earlier. I heard you crying and I couldn't
stand you in pain. I had to come."
He stood up. "Why did you come now and not earlier?"
She gave him a sad smile. "My captors forbid it, they have found out
I can go through others dreams. Also to make sure I would not do this
again, they stole my crystal."
Yakko's eyes widened.
"Leave! Go now then! If you stay you'll die!"
She looked weakly at him. "But I wanted to see you. I miss you."
"But-"
"I love you."
Yakko looked stunned. She what?
She learned into him and kissed him softly on the lips. Yakko felt
his whole face turn the color of a cherry. But oddly enough, he didn't pull
away. He actually put his arms around her and held her close.
"Don't worry Cassie.. I will find you.."
She looked up at him weakly. "Yes.. but before they kill me?"
He looked straight into her eyes. "Yes..I will..I promise."
She closed her eyes and held onto Yakko.
Then the dream world began to crumble. It shook with such force that
sent them both to the ground.
Cassie screamed and then yelled something to Yakko. He couldn't hear
what she was saying. The wind and lightning began and tore the two far
apart from each other. Soon Yakko couldn't see her anymore.
"Cassie!" he screamed.
It was no use, she was gone, then he heard an evil laugh.
The dream world abruptly stopped shaking and Yakko could stand again.
The wind still blew and the lightning and thunder remained, never the less,
Yakko glared hatefully up at it.
"You wont get away with this! I will find her!"
The laughter continued, as it did a bolt of lightning hit Yakko.

Yakko cried out as he awoke in his room. He panted as he became aware
of that dream. He put his head in hands. Cassie. Would he ever find her
again? What if she was already dead?! He closed his eyes tight. Praying
that Cassie would be there when he came to rescue her.
He had to move fast to find a way to find her. He was about to get up
when he heard a scream.

Rose was holding up a mallet at the intruders. Crystal was behind
her, hugging Rose's dress, shaking.
Rose's eyes narrowed as the two came closer to her and Crystal.
When one came too close she threw the mallet down on top of him. He
was flat in seconds.
She was just about to mallet the second one, when everyone opened the
door and smashed the other intruder, unexpectingly. Rose blinked and
grinned.
"What's going on?"
"I heard a scream?"
"Rose why do you have that mallet?"
"Are you alright Crystal?"
"I'm Hungry."
"Rose saved me. She malleted a bad guy and you guys hit the other
with the door."
The others blinked and then opened the door to see the flattened
intruder against the wall.
A little while later they had the two tied up. Yakko of course was
interrogating them with Trakko and Wakko. The girls decided to make
everyone breakfast. Although it was only 4 A.M.
As the three girls sat down to eat some, Crystal looked at them both.
"Who is Cassie?"
Rose spit out the drink she was drinking, unfortunately Dot was in
the line of fire and now she was dripping and wet glared at the now highly
embarrassed Rose.
Crystal looked confused.
Dot looked at Crystal now sadly. "She was..our friend."
"What happened?"
"What happened to who?" Yakko asked as he entered the kitchen, the
girls abruptly shut their mouths.
"They were just telling me-"Rose put a hand over Crystal's mouth.
The rest of whatever she was going to say was now a lot of "Mphhhs!" and
Ghhss!"
Yakko gave them a odd look.
Dot grinned. "My dear brother.. may we go and finish sleeping? I
think Crystal has had too much excitement for today."
Yakko nodded. "Dot take Crystal to bed, Rose I need to speak with
you."
Dot took Crystal, Trakko and Wakko followed, making fun of Dot being
all wet.

Yakko looked at Rose, upset. "Those thugs I think were after
Crystal."
Rose's eyes widened.
"Yes, those guys at the lab want Crystal back!"
Rose looked downward, biting her lip. She was thinking of someway to
get out of this.
They both did not sleep the rest of the night.

He slammed his fist on his desk, inwardly cursing the incompetence of
minions. His rage was a lot, but now he was at a disadvantage. The people
who were homing with the girl would be onto his plan to steal the young
girl back. He was thinking of any plans that could help him in this
situation. He went over to the mother's cage and grinned inwardly. He knew
a good plan to get the little imp back. It would be very good.....
