Chapter Two: Falling Asleep in Class is Easy. All you have to do is…Zzzzz

Finn blinked rapidly, trying to stop his eyes from sliding shut against his will. Dill, full name of Dillard Cole, and Finn's best friend, shot a concerned look in his direction, before picking his pencil up and poking him hard in the ribs.

"Did you not go to bed early last or something?" Dill hissed, leaning forward in concern.

Finn shook his head, knowing that if he spoke, he will reveal that he was actually outside of his house with four others discussing ways to learn how to control their new powers slash trying to figure out how in the world did Finn walk through his bedroom wall?!, up until midnight. Mr. Richardson, their teacher for this hour, turned suddenly to face them. "Do you have something you would like to share with the class? Mr. Cole? Mr. Whitman?"

Finn shook his head fervently, as did Dill. As soon as the pompous teacher turned his back, Finn stifled a rather large yawn. Dill poked him again, but this time Finn didn't really felt anything. Eyes sliding close, Finn's head dropped to his desk as sleep overpowered him.

He was standing in the middle of a street. A glowing castle stood not that far from him. The rest of the team, as well as two girls that he most definitely did not recognize, stood with them. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed what could only be Wayne in person. A shiver went down his spine as he turned to look down the road.

"They're coming." Wayne spoke solemnly, as if that made perfect sense.

Everyone shifted uncomfortably; as if they were afraid of whomever it was that was coming. Finn noticed this and promptly responded. "We solved the riddle of the Stonecutter's Quill. We have the advantage. The most powerful weapon in the entire universe is right here in my hand." Finn started to raise his hand up to show off whatever it was that he was holding…

Brrring! Brrrring! The school bell went off, jerking Finn awake. Mr. Richardson glared at him, clearly not impressed with his ability to sleep through his lesson. "Mr. Whitman…I will be seeing you in detention!"

"Yes sir." Finn muttered under his breath as he collected his things. He must be getting the whole Kingdom Keeper thing stuck on his mind or something. As he thought this, he unzipped his backpack to dump his stuff in there…and immediately found himself having to stop the Fish from swimming out to explore the school. He wasn't sure how to explain about the flying blue and silver goldfish to anyone just yet. Zipping his bag shut, he shouldered it and began to weave through his schoolmates towards the gym.

Once there, he ducked into the gym's boy's locker room and changed into his gym uniform. Stepping back out, he noticed the coach speaking with what looked like a new student. Finn walked over to where he normally waited for Dill, who also had P.E. at this time of day. No surprise, Dill joined him just as the tardy bell rang loudly, piercing the air.

The coach turned to face them, blowing his whistle. "Alrighty! Listen up kids! We've got ourselves a new student, everyone give a warm welcome to Amanda Lockhart!" He then stepped to the side to gesture to the new girl.

Finn instantly forgot how to breathe. Right there, standing in front of him in real life was one of the mystery girls from his dream. And she was a thousand times more beautiful in real life than she had been in the dream. Amanda smiled warmly at them, tucking a loose strand of hair back. "Hi." She gave a small, uncertain wave.

Finn wondered if this was what it felt like to die…happy at least. Dill suddenly elbowed him, his right eyebrow shooting upwards. "Dude…you look like you just saw a ghost!"

Finn frowned, suddenly wondering if perhaps he just did. Why else would someone from a random nonsensical dream he just had would appear right in front of him in real life? Shaking his head, he turned to face Dill. "Come on…let's warm up."

~After School Detention~

Finn paused, taping his pencil against the desk he was sitting at. He only had two more pages of math homework left…then he would be done for the day. Rolling his shoulders to relieve some tension, he glanced over at the clock that was ticking excruciatingly slowly above the doorway.

Mrs. Nash coughed loudly, to signal that she had noticed the slight movement from Finn. Finn ducked his head, noting that he would need to find some sort of cover story for his parents on why he was late from coming home after school. Perhaps… the door swung open, and an oddly dressed woman that he had never met before stuck her head into the room. "Excuse me but I am doing a news report on the effects detention has on the students…may I borrow a few to question?" She shifted her weight slightly, the strangest part of her getup, an odd khaki colored tote bag with what looked like several antique pins pinned to the fabric handle, slipping just slightly. "Well?"

Mrs. Nash sighed loudly, her clear disapproval on her face. "Fine! Thomas; go with her. You can start off the interviews."

A large boy that was sitting near the back of the room leapt to his feet and basically ran out the door. The odd lady glanced at him, before causally turning to face Mrs. Nash. "I'm gonna need to interview someone that rarely gets detention too. Gotta keep the boss happy." With that, she disappeared out into the hallway.

Mrs. Nash grumbled under her breath as she began to type away at the computer. "No one leaves their desks unless I say so!"

Finn rolled his eyes, turning his attention back to his homework. A few minutes later, Thomas came back in and Sarah Lee was sent out to get interviewed. Finn glanced at the clock, noting the time left…and how long he figured each interview was. Sarah Lee most likely will spend the rest of detention in the interview.

Sure enough, the bell rang to signal the end of detention the same time that Sarah Lee came back in. The lady frowned, consulting the notes on her tablet. Finn ignored her as he lifted his backpack up, slinging it over his shoulder. Immediately, she looked up, pointing a finger at him. "May I interview you real quick before you head home…Finn?"

Finn sucked in a breath as all color faded from his face. He has never met this lady before, so how did she know his name? Pushing his thoughts to the back of his mind, he turned to face her. "Mrs. Nash?" Hope briefly fluttered in his stomach; perhaps the strict teacher will come to his rescue?

"If she wants to interview, I don't see why not." She was already shoving everything into an ugly black briefcase that she used.

Finn turned to face the lady, feeling as if his feet were turning to lead. He rather have to talk to his mother about why he broke the no food in his bedroom rule again than sit down and answer question for a lady that he didn't know that apparently did know him.

"Want to do it here or…"

"I have a room set up across the hall. Guarantees privacy that way." She walked briskly down the hall, as if she has done this a thousand times a day.

Finn hurried after her, watching as she ducked…into the janitorial closet? Shaking his head, he followed her into it. Surprisingly enough, the closet, despite looking pitifully small on the outside, was big enough to hold a small classroom…and was set up as one with the supplies neatly lining the shelves against the back wall. She was already sitting down at one of the desks, glancing about the place as if she were frightened about something bad happening. Finn made to sit down three desks down from her, only for her to point to the door. "Close the door. I don't want eavesdroppers."

"Pretty sure you're the only one doing a report on the effects of detention. No one is going to try to copy your work." Finn couldn't understand her paranoia. Still, he closed the door before taking his seat.

Taking a deep breath, she laced her fingers together. "I am not a news reporter. My name is Wanda…Wayne of the Imagineers is my father." Finn froze, staring at the lady in front of him. Suddenly, he realized what it was that she was going to next, without her saying anything. "You have the Fish Item."

A/N: Yeah…I'll just leave it here for now. Another thing… in case you haven't noticed…I only update this story (technically all my stories but I am having issues about this with this particular one…) if I get the memo that people like this! Which means, favorites, follows and REVIEWS! This would be getting updated a lot more frequently if I knew people like it!

Today's update goes to SilverComet101 for favoriting this! I would have updated earlier but I am pretty sure that I did not get an email message about that happening. Good thing I was looking at the statics and noticed that it said two favorites instead of one. And hey! Wanda and Amanda in the same chapter!

I noticed that in the later books that Finn begins to show signs of being a Fairly, like a really powerful one… so I gave him the same powers already that show up in the later books. Meaning, super speed, superstrength, and visions. Obviously this vision had more details in it. (In case you're wondering, the other 'mystery girl' is Jess) I mainly threw it in there so as to alert Finn to the fact that Wayne is still alive and they need two more allies.
