Chapter Five: The City of Cherry Blossoms.
Dream opened her eyes weakly. Her vision was really blurry. Her earth seed was pulsing.((okay she looks exactly like the picture of 'her thinking as her earth seed pulses' on pg.15.)) She sat up. She looked for her glasses. She finally found them on a counter. She putted them on. She then recognized the room. "Wait a minute this is my room" she said out loud. The room that use to be filled with boxes and had the closet that lead to the portal was now neat and had furniture. The walls were painted a dark magenta((pink!)) with black stars painted on top. She looked at the ceiling. There were mini stars shining a dim magenta color. The back ground being black. Her bed was black and had magenta colored sheets. The carpet was magenta with mini black stars. She looked for the lights. There were nine different switches. Dream decided to check all of them. She realized that they were all different colors of the rainbow, the final one being light ((you know regular light bulb)). She realized the items in her room would change depending on the color of the lights.
Dream then noticed a picture on the desk. She went up to it. She then blushed. It was her and Shadow kissing. That was the first time she had changed into her angel form. They had the school dance and they had to be in costume. Shadow had dressed up as a dark angel. They had won for King and queen and Shadow had admitted his love in front of everyone. She had almost cried. It was so romantic and was video tapped by her beast friend Nicole, who would video tape every adventure they would have even if she wasn't there.((Scary…)) She loved that picture. Shadow then walked into the room quietly, trying not to let Dream notice him. He then wrapped his arms around her waist. Dream looked at him with innocent eyes as her glasses fell to her nose. He laid her on the bed and started to kiss her. She giggled in between the kisses.
"hey Shadow….umm," said Michelle popping into Dream's room but noticing they were making out. "I'll come back later," she whispered closing the door. "HA! Why does he get to make out with her," shouted Gerard with anger. "You know why," said Michelle evilly. "Uh-Oh," said Gerard nervously. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh," he screamed as was being killed by Michelle.
Dream's door opened and popped out both Dream and Shadow's heads wondering what was going on. Peter and Disean walked upstairs to see what was going on. "That's what you get pervert," said Michelle walking downstairs. Gerard was twitching on the ground. Peter ignored him and went into Dream's room. "You like it," he asked smiling. "I love it," said Dream twirling around the room. She then sat on the bed. "How'd you guys get it done," she asked curious. "When you and Shadow were sleeping we were able to contact Mr.Godinera and he had transported us back here to rest. We noticed that Michelle and Alexandra were decorating your room so we decided to help," explained Peter. "Ya," said Disean going over Gerard and into the room. "Should we continue then," asked Shadow looking at Dream. She nodded. "But first…," she said looking around.
She noticed the pink treasure chest that Shadow had given her on her 13th birthday. She went towards it and opened it. She then took out five mini laptops and five mini lockets. She then handed one to each boy. Shadow looked at his black locket. He realized that it could break into two. Peter had gotten a blue one, Disean got a green one and Gerard got a yellow one. "What are these for," asked Peter opening his laptop. He noticed how high-tech it was. "Where'd you get these Dream," asked Disean holding it like it was his baby.(( He's a tech nerd)) Dream and Shadow smiled. "Me and Shadow made them recently," said Dream. "There trackers and communicators," said Shadow helping Dream put her magenta one on. ((Magenta…….sorry continue story)) "How do they work," asked Peter looking at his. "Dream broke the locket in half. "Dream you broke it," said Gerard who had finally recovered from Michelle's attack. "No, it breaks into two. See…," said Shadow breaking his. He then exchanged his piece with Dream. She then connected her magenta piece of the star locket to Shadow's. "See," she said showing the locket which was half magenta half black. "So how do we communicate" asked Gerard looking at his. "When you connect one of your sides of your locket with another person your able to talk to them by mind, without losing any energy," said Shadow. "How about the laptops," Disean asked. "Oh I just made them in spare time but they map out any place we go so…" said Dream putting her laptop in her pocket.
"Well we better continue are challenge," said Peter opening the closet. "Okay I'll meet you guys down there I have to eat something before we go," she said going downstairs to the kitchen. Peter, Gerard and Shadow went into the closet and went to the attic. Disean stayed in the house to take care of Michelle and Alexandra. Dream eat some lunch and packed some food for the boys. She changed into some jeans and a long sleeved top. She then went into the closet. "Now were is that portallllllll," she screamed falling forward into the portal. Peter sighed. "We forgot to tell her again," he said. Shadow ears popped out and he caught Dream just in time. Her cat ears had popped out when she fell. Dream smiled. "Thank you," she said kissing him the cheek. "You guys are to romantic," said Mr.Godinera. "Its okay to me in love Mr.Godinera," said Dream. "Well good luck.
Contact Disean when you reach the City of Cherry Blossoms," Mr.Godinera explained. They all said good bye and Peter, Gerard, Shadow, and Dream dived into the water, changing into there water forms. After 3 hours of swimming they finally reached there destination. They City of Cherry Blossoms. The whole area had cherry blossom trees that hadn't bloomed. Peter looked around. "Why haven't these cherry blossoms bloomed yet," he asked as he touched the bark of the tree. "Don't know. Some Cherry blossoms only bloom when the person who planted them return to the land," explained Gerard. Everyone stared at him. "Wow Gerard I'm impressed," said Peter laughing. "Shut Up. I'm smart sometimes," said Gerard proudly. "Idiot so your mostly dumb," asked Peter. "Why you little…," said Gerard. Shadow and Dream were touching the barks of the trees. "Hey Shadow do you remember this place," she asked trying to remember. "I don't know but it looks really familiar," he said looking around. Dream then felt a sudden pain in her chest. Her earth seed was pulsing but she didn't know why. She was getting nervous. Something was coming but she didn't know what. Shadow looked at her. "Dream do you here that," he asked her his ears popping out. Dream cat ears popped out and twitched. "Ya. Something coming right in that direction," she said pointing to Gerard and Peter. Then there was a sudden earthquake.
Shadow held onto Dream so she would fall. "Peter! Gerard move out of the way," shouted Shadow. Something started to glow. Dream looked at a small cherry tree. She and Shadow went to check it out. There was something stuck in the bark and it was glowing. Dream started to twist it trying to get the item out of the bark. They then heard a scream. There was a huge snake trying to attack a girl. Dream had pulled out the crystal out from the bark and she and Shadow ran back to the group. "We have to help that girl," said Shadow taking out his sword. "But how? That snake is huge," said Gerard The girl looked almost exactly like Dream except she had purple hair. The crystal glowed brighter in Dream's hand. 'Is this the Petal Crystal,' she thought. She put it around her neck. " Well we have to do something," said Peter starting to run towards the snake. The snake had turned around and tried to strike at the group. All four of them separated. Peter jumped into the air trying to attack the snake. Gerard had run into a tree.((Loser!))
Shadow had went behind the snake, trying to attack it by surprised and Dream went to the girl. "You okay," Dream asked her. The girls eyes widened. "Dream," she said with shock. Dream finally remember this place. She was born here. ((interesting twist)) The girl in front of her was her twin sister, Mimi.((Yes finally! I always wanted to put twins in my stories.)) The snake had tackled both Shadow and Peter and they both crashed into the ground. The snake then looked into Dream's direction. It was going to eat both of them. The petal crystal then started to glow brighter and brighter. Shadow and Peter had finally regained consciousness but it was to late. The snake was going to make its finally attack. "Dream! Get out of the way," Peter screamed. The petal crystals light then surrounded Dream. The trees then started to glow. Suddenly they started to bloom little by little. Dream was starting to float. She didn't know what was going on. Every single cherry blossom tree had bloomed. "Wow," said Peter as some cherry blossoms fell to the ground. "Look at Dream," said Gerard who had regain consciousness. The boys looked into Dream's direction and blushed.((Dream looks exactly like the picture on page 26, were it says 'Petal version of Dream')) Her purple hair flew lightly around her, petals going around her. Her wings flickered a bit was Dream softly touched the ground.((She was floating)) "Dream you did it," Mimi said jumping up. "That girl know her," asked Gerard confused. "But they look exactly the same now," said Peter trying to tell who was who. "The only reason why they look exactly the same is because there twins," said Shadow his memories coming back to him. "WHAT," both Gerard and Peter shouted. The snake looked around. It then heard the shouts of Gerard and Peter and was going to attack them. It made a loud hiss and headed towards the boys. Dream realized were the snake was going too. She jumped in front of the boys and raised her arms up. "May stop it know," she shouted. The snake stopped right in front of the group. Its eyes turned back to its originally color, purple.((It was red before)) Dreams neck was glowing a bit. Shadow stared at it. 'That must be the bite she got from May when they first met,' thought Shadow.((I'll explain later))
The snake looked at Dream for a bit and then wrapped her tail around her waist holding her up. "Dream," Gerard said a bit worried. "Don't worry," said Shadow smiling. They looked at him. They then heard a roar. Two saber were running towards them. "Tigers," said Peter. The saber tooth stopped in front of Shadow. May had gentle put Dream down and had changed into a mini snake. Dream held out her hand and May slithered up to her neck, wrapping itself around her. The second tiger went to Dream. "Um Dream aren't you scared," asked Peter hiding behind her. "Why should I be. These are my pets," she said Hugging the two tailed saber tooth.((okay its like a version of Kilia from Inuyasha if you can't imagine it))The two saber tooth's then turned into two small kittens. Gerard started to poke Shadow's kitten. The kitten then bit him. "Ahh that hurts," said Gerard trying to shake the kitten off his finger. "That's not going to work," said Dream holding Gerard's hand. He blushed. The kitty looked at her and jumped on her shoulder. "See," she said smiling. Peter then hit Gerard on the head. "What did I DO," he shouted. "Don't know I felt like it," said Peter coldly. While Peter and Gerard were fighting Mimi approached Shadow and Dream.
"Welcome back Princess Dream and Prince Shadow," she said bowing. "Prince! Princess," shouted Gerard and Peter. "Yup," said Shadow and Dream smiling. "C'mon, you guys need rest," said Mimi pushing them towards the castle. Peter and Gerard just stared. "Wait up," they shouted together, running after them. They didn't notice but someone was watching them. "So they have arrived. Good," the mysterious guy said jumping into the darkness.
