A/N I'm back! Sorry for the break, but last week was the last week of the first quarter of school so I was trying to get all my work caught up and study for my quarter tests to make I passed :P which I did so I'm good now. The last couple of days I've been getting all the sleep back I lost to my all-nighters. I'm on fall break now so I'll try to do better on getting stories out.

Daisy walked with Doug out to the band's practice field after breakfast. She'd been up for nearly two hours so going back to her room for more sleep didn't seem possible. She'd always wondered what the dreaded Saturday morning practices Doug always complained about were really like.

The band's practice field was beside the tourney field. The tourney team was taking the field for practice about the same time the band started warming up.

Daisy took a seat on the bleachers so she could watch the band and the team. She scanned the team trying to find Jay, Carlos, and Ben. They were in their practice gear instead of their jerseys, which made identifying the boys difficult.

The team started a play and the offense started for the kill zone. The shooters fired off shots at the "opposing" players. One was the players jumped and flipped to dodge the fireballs. That was Jay. No one else on the team could move like that. Daisy smiled as Jay easily danced around the defense players. A big strong guy like Jay moving with near grace amused the girl.

Then a defense player sped by Jay, stealing the ball as he passed. The boy was smaller than the rest of the team and was a lot faster. That had to be Carlos. He was through the kill zone before the shooters even had time to attack. When two opposing defense players blocked him, Carlos passed the ball to another player who threw it into the goal to score.

"Good steal, Carlos!" Daisy cheered.

The boy turned when he heard his name. He spotted Daisy on the bleachers and waved. Carlos called over his shoulder and pointed at the girl. Jay and another player, probably Ben, waved as well. The dwarf smiled and waved back.

The boys went back to running plays. Daisy tried to pay attention but her mind began to wander. She thought about the dreams she'd been having lately. She thought about yesterday's lesson in psychology. Dreams were your brains way of making sense of information it deemed of less importance during the day. Sometimes they were very straight forward and displayed what you were really worried about or what you really wanted. Other times they had a deeper meaning behind them than what was shown. The rest of the time they were just nonsense that were made from useless information.

Daisy couldn't figure out which one her latest dream was. It seemed like she wanted to be with Carlos, but that thought never crossed her mind in real life. She got along with Carlos. He was a lot like her. He was playful and smart but also a little shy. If she liked anyone, she guessed that Carlos made sense, but at the same time, that didn't feel right. Carlos was one of her best friends. She couldn't date her best friend. Could she?

Then there was that shadowy figure. Every dream Daisy's had that Carlos has been in that shadow had been there too. He never showed his face or said a word. He was just there. Watching the dwarf. It wasn't a creepy though for some reason. In fact Daisy liked knowing the shadow was there. He made her feel safe. He would caught her if she fell or stop a limb from hitting her in the face when see wasn't paying attention to where she was going. The shadow was like her guardian. She wanted to know who it was. The only clue she had was the red beanie her gave her this morning.

The freshman groaned. She was giving herself a headache. She brought her knees to her chest, crossed her arms over her knees, and rested her forehead on her arms. She closed her eyes to help ward off the headache.

Daisy wasn't sure how long she stayed like that, but footsteps on the metal bleachers snapped her out of her dreamless sleep.

"Are you alright?" a girl asked.

Daisy lifted her head. A cheerleader with brown hair and brown eyes was standing in front of her. Her eyes were more curious than concerned.

"Y-yeah. I'm fine. Just stuck in dreamland, I guess." Daisy answered as she searched the field for the boys, not really paying attention to the girl.

The girl noticed this. "Dreamland or dreamy-land?" She asked almost knowingly.

"Huh?" Daisy turned her full attention to the cheerleader. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"If you want one of them, you can't just dream about him. Of course, my mom always said that if you dream a thing more than once, it's sure to come true." With that, the girl turned to leave. The smirk that played on her lips reminded the dwarf of Mal for a moment.

Daisy shook her head as if to make sure she was awake. What just happened? Now she was more confused than ever.

Doug soon appeared at the bottom of the bleachers. The sight of the boy was almost comical to his sister. He was dripping sweat, his cheeks were flushed, and he was winded.

"Out of shape much?" Daisy asked when he finally trudged up the steps to her.

"You try playing trumpet as loud as possible while marching for two and a half hours." Doug huffed. Daisy and Doug both agreed that they took after all seven of the dwarves, not just their father. Daisy showed her Grumpy trait when she first wakes up; Doug showed his when he was exhausted.

"Two and a half hours?" Daisy asked. "What time is it?"

"12:30."

"12:30?!" Was she really out of it for that long?

"Yeah. I'm gonna go shower. I promised Evie I'd have lunch with her at one." Doug said as he started down the bleachers. "You wanna come? I doubt she'd mind."

Daisy stood up. "No. I don't feel like being a third wheel today." She teased as she stepped down the bleachers.

"You know we don't see it like that when you hang out with us." Doug told his sister.

"I know, but I don't wanna impose. Besides I have my own practice to get to." Daisy waved goodbye to her brother and headed for the school building.

A/N the bit about the dreams is true for the most part. I actually take psychology and we did talk about dreams and how they're made and what they mean, but I kinda fell asleep during that lecture so I don't remember it completely. It's close so whatever. As far as liking someone because of a dream, that actually happened to me so I'm trying to relive that experience a bit with this story. Of course it's not gonna be exactly what I went through but the thoughts and feelings Daisy is having are pretty close. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK! I LOVE REVIEWS!
