It was another lazy day on Nourasia. Emimi and Mina had decided to invite Tokka and Dakka over for a while. They were telling stories when Aikka suggested that they do dream surfing. "What's dream surfing?" asked Eva.

"You don't know what dream surfing is?!" Tokka exasperated. SMACK! "OUCH!" Dakka smacked him on the head.

"Don't be idiotic Tokka. They're humans, they don't have magic, and therefor, they don't know what dream surfing is." Dakka explianed to Tokka. Now he turned his gaze to the girls. "Dream surfing is when you explore your dreams and other people's dreams. With their permission of course."

"Follow me; I'll take you all to the pods." Said prince Aikka. He lead them down a hall, around several corners up to a slightly larger than average door.

"How do we get in?! There's no handle! And it won't budge if you push on it!" Mina pushed on the door but it still didn't move.

The boys silently chuckled. "It is a magic door. You think of what you want most and it opens." Aikka explained.

They all started to think of what they wanted more than anything. Everyone thought of something different. For Aikka, it was Eva staying on Nourasia and becoming his queen. For Mina it was to be the smartest girl in the galaxy. Eva closed her eyes as a tear silently rolled down her tattooed cheek to the floor. Creeaaak went the door as it opened. In the center of the room were three oval shaped pods, just big enough to fit two people each. The group of humans (plus one Martian) and Nourasians gathered around the middle of the room. Mina walked towards one of the pods and rubbed her hand on it. "What are these made of?" she questioned.

"Kucarana shells or—" Aikka was cut off by Mina.

"—beetle hides, I know I've been reading." She finished, remembering the section of the book she read it about. it had said:

Kucarana shells are magical. Since the people of Nourasia believe in animal/ancestor worship, they use every part of the animals they kill. Much like Human Native Americans. The Kucarana shells are sometimes used for dream pods.

Eva asked, "How do they work?" this snapped Mina back into reallity.

"You get in, touch the inside, and drift to sleep." Tokka said rationally. As if he was giving orders, the gang followed the instructions. Eva went in the dream shell with Aikka; Emimi went in with Tokka, and Mina with Dakka.

Once inside they almost immediately fell asleep. They entered the first dream and saw a huge library which looked as if it were built for giants. Books were literally flying off the shelves.

"Dakka, is this your dream?" accused Tokka

"You believe that I am that obsessed with reading?! You make no sense sometimes Tokka!" Dakka exclaimed

"Actually," Mina stepped forward, "this is my dream. I go to bed and sometimes dream that I surf the library on giant books." She gave a fake I'm-so-busted-my-friends-are-going-to-laugh-at-me chuckle. They all just giggled, jumped on a book above them and started to "surf" the library. They raced toward a humungous door with a blue light emitting from it. (it ended up as a tie between Eva and Aikka. Go figure!)

They stepped into the next dream. Emmi's clothes changed from Earth street wear to a Martian formal dress. She now wore a custom Martian crown that formed to her head. Her gown was a deep magenta color, with lavander lace going down the front. The sleeves were long and nearly touched the ground.

"Emimi, what's with the royalty get up?" Eva asked.

"I dream to sit upon my people's throne as the queen of Mars," she said, "but as you humans say, 'only in your dreams'." As she sat upon the dream throne they stepped into the next dream.

The next dream was a bit odd. It showed Aikka and Eva standing next to each other at a Nourasian alter.

"I believe I know whose dream this is." Tokka said

"Prince Aikka's" Mina, Emimi, Tokka, Dakka, and Eva blurted. Aikka blushed as he admitted that he wanted to be with Eva for a long time. They didn't go to Tokka or Dakka's dreams, for they said they haven't had a dream since they were seven summers old. (and because i wanted to get the story going. plus, i ran out of dream ideas! u--)So, they went to the final dream, Eva's dream.

with king Naabu and queen Lyria

the queen sat in a chair reading a book while her husband sat doing paper work and signing treaties. "darling, could you send someone to go check on our prince and his guests?" the king asked.

"yes of course. Leequwa," a maid with very pale brown skin and even lighter green eyes came up and bowed to the queen.

"yes majesty, what is it?"

"Leequwa, could you go to the library and check up on my son and his friends? it would be most helpful to us."

"right away your highness." Leequwa gave a quick bow and left the room.

In the library

Leequwa opened the door to the library cautiously. after she felt safe, she walked in. "prince Aikka your parents sent me to--" she dropped and got a horrified look on her face. "they're gone! The prince is gone!" she ran out of the room and went to report this to the king and queen.

In Eva's dream

When they entered her dream they were stunned. A woman stood in front of them with a beach back round behind her; her long, strawberry blond hair flowing in the breeze. She wore a pinkish purple racing dress with a white stripe down the middle."Miss. Eva," inquired Tokka, "who is that charming human?"

"She looks a lot like you Eva." Replied Emimi. Suddenly, Eva dropped to the sandy beach of her dream and stared to sob and cry. "Eva," Mina asked softly as if she were her mother, "is that your mom?" though she said nothing back, Eva's eyes said, "yes".

"Molly, why do you dream this? Did something happen to your mother?" asked Aikka. Eva was silent and did not reply. Mina broke the long silence by telling everyone, "many years ago when Eva was very young her mother died in a crash. That's why she raced for the Earth team during Oban. She wanted to bring back her mother." All their faces saddened, they felt sorry for the young girl. "Murdered." Eva said under her breath.

"What did you say?" asked the Martian. Eva stood up and shouted, "She was murdered by a monster!" the star racer pilot covered her face and started to cry even harder. Eva fell to her knees again. "Eva my darling," cooed the vision of Maya in a somewhat echoed voice, "please don't be sad. You know I'm always in your heart. Remember the feeling when you race, that is me. I will always be your mother, and I will always be that spirit in your heart."

The group was touched by the words of dream Maya. Prince Aikka knelt down next to Molly and said softly, "Eva, we need to go, it is most likely getting late. Tokka and Dakka have to go home." She nodded her head yes and soon; they were out of the pods. It was dusk; they went in at late noon. "Good gods! How long were we in there?!" exclaimed Dakka.

"More than likely for a good solid two hours." Said Mina almost sounding like a robot. Tokka and Dakka went on their way home. The four waved goodbye as the other two disappeared on the horizon.

The quartet turned and saw king Naabu and queen Lyria. Both with an angry expression on their faces.
