the real vampire – No, it's not going to be anything like A Midsummer Night's Dream. At least, I don't think it will. (Checks story notes) I'll get back to you on that…
Blue Eyed Dragon Girl – You'll really have to wait and see, but I can promise you that you're right in one way, but not in the other…
Fairy Dance Dreams
Chapter 4 – Fairy Tale
Bridge mentally shook the memory away. Suddenly, he remembered that he might still have his morpher with him. He searched everywhere through his new attire, and found a pocket hidden deep within the folds of his coat. There, thankfully, he found his morpher. It was slightly battered, but Bridge was sure that it would still work.
"Cadet Carson reporting in," he began nervously, "myself and Cadet Delgado are unarmed, no sign of Cadet Tate and we require urgent assistance."
A voice crackled in. It was female.
"Bridge? Are you and Z okay? Where are you? Where's Sky?"
"We're fine, Kat," he answered, "we're not sure where we are, or where Sky is, but, unless I'm dreaming, it's a green planet inhabited by…fairies…" He knew how stupid he sounded.
"Fairies?" came a gruff voice. "That'll be Nextera, not far from the Gamma Quadrant, I believe?"
"Yes, Commander Cruger, that sounds about right," said Bridge, his hopes reviving a little.
"We'll send out a rescue party right away. In the mean time, stay close, you two, and switch on your tracking devises. Keep a look out for Sky."
"Yes sir, over and out."
The connection crackled away. Bridge stared at his morpher in despair for a few moments, but was brought back to reality by another voice calling his name. He turned to find Z finally awake, not a scratch on her and looking more amazing than ever. Bridge mentally slapped himself…now was not the time…
"Where are we?" she mumbled sleepily. Realisation dawned. "Oh no…did we crash?" Bridge nodded affirmatively. He held out his hand and helped her to her feet. "Where's our ship? Where's Sky?"
"It's gone, Z," he sighed. "I can't find Sky either. Cruger's sending us a rescue team as we speak. Here, give me your morpher." She found a small pocket at the side of her dress and pulled out a very battered morphing device. Bridge took it and flipped a tiny switch on the side of it. A red light began to flash. He then did the same with his. "Hopefully they won't be long."
Z gave a downtrodden sigh. Still amazed at her new clothing, Z twirled and admired the dark landscape. Suddenly, she noticed her wings.
"What the ---?"
"Yes Z, you have wings…So do I as a matter of fact." Z's mouth was hanging open. "Come on, let's pass the time and make use of them." He took her hand and closed his eyes. He felt the force of gravity lessen so slightly, and when he opened his eyes again they were floating two feet above the ground. They gasped.
"We're…flying!" exclaimed Z, her eyes shining with amazement. Bridge grinned at his friend.
"I once had this dream where I was flying, and there was this music playing, and I was dancing with this girl and then…" Bridge stopped his rambling. "You know, I can't remember!"
Z laughed. "Yeah, that happens, especially when – hey, can you hear that?"
