"There it iiiiss!" Kelly's eyes closed while smiling widely and pointing her right forefinger at a paper resting on a desk.
The woman sprinted towards the desk, as she grinned widely and putting her hands in front of her mouth, while her eyes were sparkling and staring at the paper and the pen.
"Easy there, now!" Tom pushed the door back, closing it. "Before even thinking of"
"Tee hee hee!" Her right hand picked up the pen, as she bended on her knees. "It might not be a pencil, but it will still do it!"
"Stop it!" The man frowned, walking towards the woman. "Why do you have this giant urge of"
Kelly began drawing rapidly on the paper, forming a door.
"Groan…" The man stopped on the woman's left side, watching her hand drawing the door, as his eyelids lowered to the middle and his shoulders went down. "… you just wanted to draw a door?"
Kelly giggled, raising upwards and closing her eyes.
"Done, done!" Her right hand grasped the pen.
"Huh…" Tom bended forward, moving his head closer to the paper. "That's not bad, I have to"
POOF!
"WHAT THE?!" His eyes expanded, as he jumped and lifted his posture.
"Yuppie!" Kelly's hands grasped, near her right cheek, as her head tilted in the same direction.
A door was standing in front of her.
"The door I was looking for!" She jumped forward, stopping in front of it. "I'll get out of this nightmare, at last!" She turned behind, waving her left hand towards the man, while her right hand grabbed the door handle. "Bye bye, Mr. Tom! Thank you for all your help!"
She pushed the door.
"Hu-huh?!" His hands rubbed his eyes. "… HUH?!"
The woman turned behind, passing through the door… stopping in front of a closet.
"… eh?" Her eyes formed each, a small white-filled circle. "I… I didn't get out of this nightmare?"
Her mouth stood wide open, keeping her expression. The man's face went paler, as his shoulders rose and his knees were bended.
"… AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Kelly's hands went on cheeks, leaving the pen flying up in the air. "THIS IS NOT A NIGHTMAAAAARREEEEE!"
Tuc!
The pen impacted on her head, before falling towards the ground. She turned behind, walking in place, as her eyes went watery.
"Wh-what happened to meeee?!" She sniffed. "Wh-why I'm this old?! WHHYYY?!"
"EH?! Wh-what are you talking about?!" The man jumped backwards, as his face went even paler. "Wh-what's even going on, all the sudden?!"
"No no no NO NOOOO!" Her lowered head was shaking, as tears were flying away from her eyes. "I-I want to return into my normal self! I WANT TO RETURN INTO MY NORMAL SEEELLFFF!" She dived on the bed. "Buuueeehh! Sniff sniff!" Her head faced the bed, as her legs kept kicking it.
Tom walked backwards, with his back going against the wall. His irises were shrunk, his left eye was twitching, his mouth a bit rose and open, his forehead was covered in sweat…
"… she… made a door appear out of nowhere… she realized that this isn't a nightmare… and she stated t-to be YOUNG?! WHAT THE TURF?!"
His mouth opened a bit more, while trembling. Kelly was crying loudly, still keeping her head on the bed.
"… she is crying like a child too… … m-maybe I'm the one who's in a nightmare… a-a terrible one too! Like, what kind of drink did I took?!" He sighed loudly. "… might as well delve into this, before I will really lose my mind."
The man lifted the posture, as he took two steps forward.
"Hey, Kelly… ehm…" His eyebrows went up. "Mind if you let me know about this…?"
"Buueeeehh! Sniff sniff!" Her head turned to her right. "Mr. Tom… I-I must get back inside the Shrine…"
"Shrine?!" His eyebrows lowered. "You mean that spa?! You can't get there, unless you have a permission!"
"I-I just need to draw the temple…" Her arms stretched, with her hands pushing the bed, as her face frowned, while tears were standing below her eyes. "I-I'll jump right into the paper and get back in there…" She nodded. "I'm sure the others will help me out..."
"You can jump inside a paper…?" Tom's head shook. "How?! Th-that doesn't make any sense!" His arms opened forward. "How does a piece of paper"
The woman stands up in a jump, returning towards the desk.
"… ehm…" A sweat drop appears on the man's left side of his head. "I-I didn't wanted to offend you or anything…"
"No, no… don't worry." Kelly's head turned to her right, with her irises lowering and resting their sight on the pen on the floor. "You are a mortal… it's normal you wouldn't believe this." She walked towards it.
"Yo-you called me mortal?!" His irises shrunk a bit, as his mouth opened wide. "Th-then, what are you exactly…?! A superior kind of Squid?!"
"I'm a Shrine citizen, in short words…" Kelly bended down, picking the pen with her right hand before raising back up. "Unlike mortals, I have unique powers!" She turned behind, walking towards the desk. "In my case, I can draw elements and make them appear in real life!"
"… th-that's an awesome power!" Tom smiled widely. "I wish I could have something like that…"
"Aaaah, but it's not always possible to do that… in this case it seems to be, however." Her left hand took off the paper depicting a door, as her right hand began drawing on the white one below. "In any case, Mr. Tom… you must promise me to not tell anything about this to anyone else."
"Ye-yeah, you can count on that…!" Tom grinned, while closing his eyes. "I don't want to have any businesses with you Shrine people… nor with any dangerous affairs too!"
"Ooooh, don't say it like that…" Kelly giggled. "I'm not that mean… in fact, I still want to be your friend for what you did to me so far!" Her head turned to her left, while smiling and closing her eyes. "Without you, things would have been much more difficult… I wasn't even aware that this wasn't a nightmare at all!"
"Eh eh…" Tom blushes a bit. "Sigh… I guess I have to search for another woman… no doubt about it." His head rose, turning to his right. "Actually, I shouldn't focus on that… for now." He frowned a bit. "This girl seems in trouble… and after all the shenanigans I went through, there is no way I'm throwing away all that energy spent!"
His right fist rose.
"I'm going to bring Kelly back home, before getting back to being a simple Agent!" He nodded.
