Chapter Three: Water Challenge and Shadow's past
Dream had changed into blue pants and a yellow tang top. Her gold highlights were almost gone. She then went to the other side of the stairs which lead to the "attic".((okay I told you I would explain so here it goes. The attic is a place in the spare room of Shadow's house, which is soon going to be Dream's room. There's a mini door in the closet that leads them to a secret training center which there school made without Shadow knowing. Dream discovers it when she tries to hide from Gerard. So there school helps them become stronger by assigning them on challenges. The bad thing is that they get marked on them so…. Ya)) She went into her 'soon to be room' and opened the closet. 'Now were is that door again' she thought looking for it. She then slipped on a some clothes and fell back.
"Today your challenge is to go as far as you can in this pool area. Far enough to a different area that needs your help." Mr.Godinera explained . "But how the only person who can hold there breath the longest is Dream," said Peter. "True but she even can't reach all the way to your destination with one breath," he said. "So then how are we going to get there," asked Peter. "Simple, when you guys go in the water you'll change into an animal or mythological creature," Mr.Godinera explained smiling. "By the way where is Dream?" he asked with concern. "She said she'd be here after she changed but…," said Peter looking around. "Did you guys tell her that the door changes all the time," asked Mr.Godinera. They then heard a scream. Peter and Shadow looked at each other. "Uh-Oh." There was then a huge splash. "Dream!" they both screamed. Dream felt really weird. Her whole body was glowing. 'What's going on,' she thought as her crystal started to glow as well. "Oh- My," said Mr.Godinera surprised. The light soon dimmed. Shadow and Peter opened there eyes and gasped.
Dream had gotten on the edge of the pool breathing quickly but not realizing that her whole appearance had changed. "Um… Dream," said Peter. Dream opened her eyes and realized what had happened. She then blushed. She was a mermaid. "What's going on," asked Gerard walking in. He then saw Dream. Dream quickly got back in the water. "Stop staring at me," she screamed diving deeper into the water. "Dream," said Shadow going at the edge of the pool.((okay Dream looks like the picture in chapter one okay)) "What did I do you," said Gerard. Peter's eyes turned green. He then punched him in the face. "She could see your perverted thoughts fool," he said his eyes turning back to blue. "So Dream turned into a beautiful mermaid," said Mr.Godinera. Dream's head popped out. "When this challenge is over you're the first one who's going to be killed," she said her eyes glowing evilly.((Mwahahahahah; evil laugh)).
Shadow moved her head to his and kissed her. "What not fair," said Gerard crying. Peter then punched him even harder. "What was that for," he screamed. "I agreed to keep a close eye on you for Michelle and Alexandra," explained Peter his eyes turning back to normally. ((Green-bad, Blue-good)). Shadow finally broke the kiss and looked at the blushing Dream. "You always looked beautiful so never try to hide it okay," he said looking deep into her eyes. She nodded slowly. She then pulled him in. There was then a splash and a bright light. Shadow head popped out. "What was that for," he shouted. Dream smiled. He blushed. 'The innocent face nooooo….not that anything but that' he thought. He then sighed. "You would have had to come in anyway. Besides you look hot," said Dream giggling. Shadow looked at himself. He was a half Shark. He had shark fin at his back and Had a tail like a shark. His teeth were pretty sharp as well. "Yes I still have a chance. A shark and Mermaid can never get together," Gerard said proudly. "Does he ever give up" said Mr.Godinera sighing. "Nope don't think so," said Peter shaking his head. Peter then smiled. "I'm coming in as well," he said jumping in. Splash and bright light. Peters head pooped and he looked at what he'd became. He was a dolphin. Just like Shadow he also had a fin on his back ((I don't know what they call it)) and had a dolphin shaped tail. "You to are so cute" said Dream smiling. Gerard looked at the water. "Do I have to come," he asked nervously. "I know what well make you come in," said Dream evilly. "Um… what do you mean," Gerard said shivering with fear. Dream inhaled and … "Michelle! Alexandra! Gerard is giving me perverted looks again," she screamed at the top of her lungs. Shadow and Peter sweat dropped. "Um… I have a emergency meeting to tend too. So…..Good Luck Gerard. I'll see how you guys are doing later… bye," said Mr.Godinera turning of the screen.((Even Mr.Godinera is scared of those two.))
"Ahhhhh!" shouted Gerard running into the pool.((Splash…Light you know what I mean)). Gerard popped out of the water trying to breath. Dream was the first one to recognize what animal he was. She started laughing. Peter and Shadow stared at her confused. "What," shouted Gerard. Dream was laughing so hard that her hair started to glow a bright blue and bubbles started to form around her. "Dream what are you laughing at," asked Shadow. He then looked at Gerard and then started to laugh. Peter was confused.((he's so simple minded when he's in his good side.)) He then looked at Gerard. His eyes turned green and he started to laugh with Dream and Shadow. "What are you laughing about," screamed Gerard. "Your….you're a goldfish…Hahaha," said Dream laughing so hard that almost everything in the room was floating. ((hahahahahaha goldfish)). "What I'm…not," said Gerard realizing that he was a half goldfish. "What's the big deal it's not like I'm at the bottom of the food chain," said Gerard. Shadow was trying to stop Dream from laughing while Peter calmed himself down and changed back into his good side. "Exactly you are," he said smiling. Gerard was getting really mad. "Whatever lets just hurry up with this stupid mission," said Gerard with anger. After a minute Dream had finally stopped laughing and they all dived into the water.
They started to swim downwards. 'Why do I have to be a gold fish…,' thought Gerard, as he tried to keep up with the others. ((goldfish are kinda slow)) 'We can hear you,' thought Shadow looked over his shoulder. 'What,' thought Gerard. "Oh sorry. My crystal aloud you guys to talk without using your lips because your animal can't talk underwater," said Dream swimming backwards and showing her them her glowing crystal. 'Dream don't you lose energy by doing that,' asked Peter curious. "Ya a little but we have to communicate some how," said Dream smiling. 'Hmm,' thought Peter.((okay he's worried but can't say anything)). Two hours had past and the gang wasn't even half way to there destination. Shadow was swimming beside Dream, Peter close behind. Gerard was like a meter away from all of them. 'Hurry up Gerard,' thought Peter.((bad side)) 'Why don't you try being a gold fish. There so damn slow," said Gerard stopping. "Have you realize that you just made fun of yourself," said Peter sighing. "Shut up," said Gerard.
Dream and Shadow were two meters away from the others, talking. 'Dream are you sure you should use your powers to let us be able to talk to each other,' thought shadow with concern. 'We really don't have a choice. If someone is in danger we wouldn't know because we wouldn't to be able to hear there cries for help," said Dream weakly.((TT, she's so thoughtful and She's getting even weaker)). 'Ya but…,' said Shadow but being cut off by Gerard screaming. "What's going on," asked Dream with wonder.(( Oh I forgot, Dream is able to talk underwater because she's a mermaid and mermaids are able to talk underwater)). 'Just because I'm in this pathetic body doesn't mean I can't use my elements,' thought Gerard as yellow currents started to form around him. Peters eyes widened. 'Idiot! You can't use electricity under water you Fool,' he thought with anger. 'I don't care! Electric…,' he thought as more electric currents formed around his body. Dream and Shadow realized what he was about to do. "NO," they screamed. 'Current,' thought Gerard shocking the whole area with electricity.
The current was to strong for any of them to with stand. Dream and Shadow were being pulled away form the others as they tried to take the pain of the shocking currents. Shadow opened one eye trying to find anything to grab on. He then noticed an air hole. He reached out for it and grabbed it holding Dream tightly. Dream opened her eyes trying to concentrate. ((Mermaids get badly injured when they get shocked by electricity, more then regular fish. That's how most of them died.)) She noticed the air hole and reached out to grab it. She finally got it. Both Shadow and Dream both pulled themselves out of the water. Shadow coughed hard trying to breath as mini electric shocks jolted out of his body. Dream was trying to breath as her whole body shivered. They were both bleeding bad. Shadow was coughing out blood now and Dreams wrist were bleeding. They couldn't stand the pain anymore. They both passed out as blood started to drip into the water.
