A Dream?

Mr. Pilkington and one of the farm owners went to the tavern to look for Mr. Jones and try to get some information on what happened at his farm. They found him asleep and drunk and Pilkington just scoffed.

"You see, I told you we'd find him with his neck in a bottle." Said Mr. Pilkington, he then slammed his hand down on the counter next to Mr. Jones, he awoke with a start and saw the two and he just took another drink. Pilkington then took a look at the other farm owner and looked back at Jones.

"Jones, we need you to do something for us." Said Mr. Pilkington, then the other farm owner just stared hard at Jones.

"I'll do something, I'll wring his drunkard throat!" Shouted the farm owner, Pilkington and Jones just stayed calm.

"We need information on what's going on." Said Mr. Pilkington, Jones just looked wearily at the two men.

"Why don't you send in a spy?" Suggested Mr. Jones, the farm owner just laughed and Mr. Pilkington chuckled.

"How can we send..." But before Pilkington could finish, he had a better idea. "No...but we could listen in."

After their conversation, Mr. Pilkington sent Mr. Jones' two farm boys to set up a microphone in the barn to listen in on the animals and to find out what they were doing. The two made their way towards the barn as quietly as they could. But before they could get to the barn, they saw a red fox patrolling the area with a border collie. They waited until the two were done with their patrols to try and enter the barn. After they got inside, they set the microphone up, they ran out as fast as they could carrying a listening wire and after they got back to town, they plugged in the wire. Then they turned on the microphone and listened for a few minutes hearing only random animal noises and some pounding on the ground.

Meanwhile at the farm

"Okay let's try this again, what are the first 5 letters in the alphabet?" Asked Snowball, one of the goats was having trouble with the alphabet and he tried again.

"Uhh...A, B, G, K, F..." But before the goat could finish Snowball just groaned.

"No, No, No, we'll try again next Sunday, anway do you all get the meaning of 4 legs good, 2 legs bad?" Asked Snowball, The animals all yelled yes happilly. Snowball smiled happily. "NOW THAT"S ANIMALISM!" Shouted Snowball happily. Meanwhile Ryan and Jessie were still walking around the barn. Ryan had kept thinking about what had happened during the battle of Cowshed.

"Why was Boxer so worried about killing a human, I'd think he would be excited or something...Ahhh I just don't get it." Said Ryan Jessie told him not to worry too much about it and went inside the barn to get some sleep. Then hours later while Ryan was still patrolling outside, he felt an agonizing amount of pain in his head and he fell over unconcious.

A while later...

Ryan was covered in darkness and couldn't see anything, but he could hear a soft voice telling him to wake up.

"Wake up Kitsune...Kitsune please wake up." Ryan awoke a bit to see a blue vixen sitting next to him on a large field and looking at him concerend. Ryan finally noticed one major detail that was really wrong here. Where was the farm, where was he? The blue vixen just looked at him again concerned for his safety. Ryan sat himself up the vixen saw this and frowned.

"Kitsune are you ok? You've been out for 3 days and I was worried." Said the Vixen, Ryan couldn't beleive it, he had been out for 3 days? And what's more, he wasn't even at Animal Farm anymore.

"Where, am I?" Asked Ryan, the Vixen just giggled for a moment, but when she saw that Ryan was serious, she tilted her head confused.

"What do you mean Kitsune? You've been here since you and I got together remember?" Said the Vixen, Ryan just shook his head.

"No I don't, and why are you calling me "Kitsune." My name is Ryan." Said Ryan, the Vixen gasped and just layed on her back and sighed.

"Why don't you remember, did you get hit or something? Don't you remember me?" Asked the Vixen, Ryan thought for a moment, then he felt his head hurt again, then memories flashed of him and the Vixen together and they were smiling together. After his head felt alright Ryan looked at the Vixen.

"I think I remember a little...your name...is...Krystal." Said Ryan, Krystal nodded and she smiled at Ryan.

"So were you dreaming Kitsune?" Asked Krystal, Ryan nodded and told Krystal everything about what happened to him. She thought about his story then she just told him to forget about it and enjoy being back. Ryan nodded and they went to see their friends. Krystal had to introduce each one of them to Ryan, since he still couldn't remember any of them. There was the white horse Nicholas, the black cat Brittani, and a white fox named Zeke. They all laughed and had fun together when they played in the fields. But still Ryan couldn't help but think about his friends at Animal Farm, what would happen to Jessie and all of Ryan's other friends. Or...did they even exist? What if they were just fictions that he imagined in his mind and they never existed in the first place. But he could swear that they were real, after all, even if all that had happened with Animal Farm was only a dream, why couldn't he remember anything about this life? Why couldn't he remember being "Kitsune." All he could remember was being lost in a forest for years until he had found Manor Farm. Krystal saw him looking at the ground and she frowned. Then she walked towards him and nuzzled him for a moment.

"What are you thinking about?" Asked Krystal, Ryan just nuzzled her back and smiled.

"Nothing Krystal. I'm just thinking about how happy I am to be back." Ryan lied. He couldn't tell Krystal that he missed Animal Farm. It would break her heart, so he decided to just keep it to himself.

After their friends had left Ryan and Krystal just layed down together in the field, Ryan and Krystal were looking at the sky when Ryan thought about Jessie again, and he thought about when he looked at the sky with her as well. Ryan sighed and Krystal looked at him for a moment.

"Hey Kitsune? I know this is a silly question, but...do you remember when we first met?" Asked Krystal, Ryan looked down at the ground for a moment to think, then his head started hurting again and some more memories flashed before him.

He saw himself in the woods alone and walking towards a large tree for shelter from the rain that was currently pummeling him, but then he heard a cry for help and he ran as fast as he could towards it. Ryan saw a blue vixen surrounded by coyotes that were about to kill her until Ryan charged at their leader and gripped his neck with his teeth. Ryan was about to snap the lead Coyote's neck until the others just rand and Ryan let the leader go. The leader then ran off into the night leaving Ryan and the vixen alone. Ryan then checked the Vixen to make sure she wasn't hurt. Then he led her to the large tree he was heading too and the two stayed there for the night.

When morning had come Ryan noticed that the vixen was snuggling up close to him and he smiled. But he decided to get up and he accidentally woke her up. She yawned and asked where he was going. He told her he was just going somewhere because truthfully, he didn't know where he was going either.

"So what's your name?" Asked the vixen, Ryan just looked at the ground.

"My name is Kitsune." Said Ryan, the vixen nodded and smiled.

"Well I'm Krystal nice to meet you Kitsune." Said Krystal. From then on, Ryan and Krystal were almost inseparable they were always together. After a while they had found a large meadow to stay and they stayed there for at least 2 years so far...

Ryan's memory ended and he told Krystal of how he had met her. She smiled happily, she knew he would have to remember the first time they met. Ryan then thought for a moment about his memories and why he forgot them in the first place. First he knows that his name is Ryan and that he had never met a blue vixen named Krystal before. But then there was Kitsune. His memories of Kitsune depict him as never even meeting Jessie or anyone from Animal Farm. It was like having two heads. There was Ryan, and then there was Kitsune. Ryan couldn't figure out which one he was. Then Ryan felt his head really hurt again, only this time the pain was trully ubearable this time and Ryan fell unconcious again...

A while later...(AGAIN)...

Ryan woke up feeling the soft hay on his stomach as he felt his head throb a bit. He then realized where he was, he was in the barn, and laying next him was Jessie sleeping peacefully. Ryan sighed and looked at Jessie.

"So it was just a dream, but...which parts were the dream?" Asked Ryan as he layed his head down and fell asleep.
