Dream

Where wonders will never cease

SnowAyumi

I do not own Gakuen Alice.

It's Time We Should Go

Monsters appeared in front of Ayumi. Ayumi tried to use magic against it, but failed.

Then, instead of the monsters trooping towards her, they trooped to her friends - and sisters.

Attacks launched immedieatly, but it all missed.

One monster was laughing evilly at them and blasted off magic.

Then, it turned dark.

"No!" Ayumi yelled.

She woke up, sweat trickling down her neck and face.

She gripped her blanket harder and looked around.

It was dark. She could see everything clearly. The chest, the wardrobe.

She also had a glimpse of the glowing table lamp, which was next to a nearby door. She saw a pair of crutches leaning against the table.

Then she remembered Miharu had came towards them. They were so excited.

She looked around the sleeping figures nervously.

"It was a dream." Ayumi muttered to herself.

She let herself lie on the bed, the dream flashing into her mind again.

Then, when her eyelids were heavy, she slept.

- - - - - - - -

Something rustled.

Akimoto woke up sleepily, rubbed her eyes and noticed it was a blur.

With a whack on her head, she remembered she had to wear contacts. Since it was not near dawn yet, she clutched a nearby pair of glasses next to Kairi's bed, and wore it.

She screamed.

A little..

.. mouse was there. And it looked at Akimoto, terrified.

Akimoto looked stunned, as her siblings woke up.

"What is it?" Yumi asked, yawning slightly.

Shiori yawned a huge yawn.

"It's a mouse." Akimoto said, shivering.

Shiori grew dot-eyed.

"What?" she asked, sweatdropping.

"A mouse." Akimoto repeated. She shifted a few times in her bed and felt comfortable.

Higuchi was playing with the mouse. They were awake then.

Honest, they had been to Level Thirty, except I haven't told you how hard they worked for Mr. Flint to award them EXP and how hard they trained.

Guess I'm lazy.

The boys, too, had been at Level Thirty. They'll leave their beds and their things here, in case they arrive back to Victoria Island, they'd be sleeping back here.

Now, even though Ayumi could not sleep just then, she was packing just some clothes for herself and her siblings to survive the travels from Victoria Island to Ossyria, where they board the ship to Ludibrium.

Which was equally half-sad, half-happy for them.

They were leaving the fun Mr. Flint, to the Wonderful Toyland, where they'd meet their parents, their family.

Higuchi suddenly had went through everything in a slow motion.

She walked to the bathroom slowly, came back slowly, as if trying to delay their time in Victoria Island.

By then, Michiyo was getting fed-up. She had eight face towels to pick after they showered, she had to take their toiletries, but Higuchi was delaying all the time.

"Higuchi!" Michiyo barked, a stress line on her forehead. "We will miss the ship, if we don't hurry. We can visit Victoria Island again, you know. Though I have a good way of saving money. Teach you that at home. Now, quickly!"

Higuchi nodded somberly. She hastened her footsteps, packed her bag swiftly, took a white cloth and covered her stuff.

After all, we are coming back soon. thought Higuchi. They were saying good-bye to Mr. Flint, promising to keep contact, send letters, and e-mails.

Slowly, with the boys help, the ten of them manage to get to Ellinia, and going to Ellinia needed a whole lot of taxis.

They weren't happy, nor sad - at all.

Mr. Flint did not mind, because he'd be having a job at Ludibrium soon, and maybe pass the pharmacy to his nephew, and they'd stay at the Hotel when they come to Victoria Island again.

- - - - - -

Many people, full with luggage, all had Tickets to Ossyria in hand.

Higuchi was swinging her legs back and forth, sitting on a huge box with little Yuri. Shiori walked around, dreamily thinking of Ludibrium.

Kairi was worried to think they hadn't a library in Ludibrium, because Victoria Island had a library.

Akimoto was thinking of new ways to shoot with her Level Thirty skills.

Yumi was taking care of the girls. Michiyo looked after the luggage and Ayumi was watching for the ship to arrive.

Ayumi began wondering.

Miharu and Akimitsu. They're helping Mr. Flint. They'll come to Ludibrium with Mr. Flint. Miharu has her parents in Ludibrium, Akimitsu's parents finally moved to Korean Folk Town. Ayumi thought.

She heard the ship arriving, and signalled Michiyo and Yumi to bring the girls and luggage up the ship to their room.

The boys were following them.

Since many people boarded the ship, they had arranged the boys stay in a mini-room that leaded from Ayumi's room.

Ayumi sighed and laid her head on the double-layer bed. She was supposed to have the outside up, and Higuchi and Yuri have the inside, etc.

The boys entered the room.

"There's the Barlog outside. Many professionals are outside there. Fourth jobs, third jobs." Taiki said. Ayumi nodded.

"My mum and dad used to like travel back and forth in the Orbis ship, hoping for a Barlog to kill. When I was a baby, my mum put me in the room and went out with my father to kill the Barlog." Ayumi recalled.

Taiki laughed. "Mine, too." Taiki said. Ayumi giggled.

They chatted together, as Higuchi pressed her nose against the little window of their room, and looked at the Ellinia Station, which was disappearing fast.

She twisted her fingers sadly, sitting on a wooden stool.

"Guys, I wanna read a book. But I think it's too dark.." Yuri's voice trailed away as heavy clouds cowered on the ship. The little lamp swung from the low ceiling, the dim light swaying.

Shiori sighed. "I'll rest."

She climbed into the bunk and slept.

It rained heavily.

Yuri shivered and wrapped herself in a fleece blanket, then climbed up the double-layer bed.

Kairi was reading a storybook, when suddenly the ship shook, and followed by screams or squeals of admiration.

Michiyo, who was looking through a photo album, sighed heavily.

Thunder crashed, lightning flashed.

"I don't know whether they can managed the Barlog in such a state of weather." Ayumi said.

A knock was heard on the wooden door and it clicked open.

A Priest who was about at Level One Hundred and Ten, raised her eyebrow.

"Haven't you heard the ship shook and the annoying squeals? Barlog got killed, what a miracle." she said in a bored voice.

"Okay." Ayumi shot back.

The high-mighty Priest left.

Ayumi rolled her eyes at Taiki. Taiki nodded, laughing.

Takumi talked to Michiyo, looking at the photo album with her.

Akimoto was in the bathroom, having a quick shower.

Yumi was humming to her i-Pod happily.

Then, the ship came to a halt, and Ayumi noticed the wonderful Orbis was staring at them, even though it was only the station.

They woke up, got everything ready, etc.

Then they came down the ship and Ayumi walked to the station and handed the ten tickets to the girl at the Ticket Booth.

They lunged the luggage and saw the Ludibrium toy ship arriving.

Then, they heaved their luggage into their toyish-looking room and sat down on the toy bed.

"It's so lucky we're boarding this ship right when it came." Ayumi said, dragging her suitcase to the corner of the toy-looking room.

Taiki looked outside the window, looking at the floating clouds.

Honk.. Honk..

"We've reached?" Shiori squeaked. "So fast?"

Michiyo ignored her and took them outside.

They stepped on the Ludibrium Station, and looked around.

"Wow!" Kairi exclaimed. "Look, the floor is made out of Legos!" She squatted down and felt them.

Yumi smiled. It was once in her whole lifetime that Kairi noticed something instead of books, and books.

"What is Legos?" Yuri asked innocently.

Kairi explained to her.

"Come on, guys. We better get to our parents. Taiki, where's your parents?" Ayumi asked Taiki.

"We live at Flake Lane, Fire House." Takumi answered for Taiki.

"Oh. We live at Flake Lane, Snow House." Michiyo giggled.

"Okay. Let's go!" Akimoto said, and they went to Flake Lane.
