Chapter 7: ENDiNG

Hello, readers! Well, The Dreamer and the Realist has finally come to an end. Really sad, but, inevitable. But, before the end of the fanfic, I would like to thank someone:

ERiN OPPEL, who read my fanfiction all the way. Thanks for the positive reviews. Good luck with your fanfictions!

Spring Valley

Beams of light sliced through NiGHTS's sleepy eyes as she opened them. Below her, she felt soft grass, and above her, warm sunshine. She noticed she was in Spring Valley. She sat up, and saw the floating windmills lazily spinning their blades. Nightopians laughed and played nearby.

Around her was her fellow Nightmarens. Gillwing, however, soared through the air and paid no heed to NiGHTS. Gulpo was floating in a levitating sphere of water. Jackle had a sling wrapped around where his arm would be, but still maintained a wide grin. Reala woke up next.

"Alright! You 2 are finally awake!" Jackle said.

"We were concerned if you'd ever wake up at all." Puffy explained, crossing her arms.

Reala rubbed his head. "Wait a minute… what happened to Wizeman? And nightmare?" Reala quizzed.

"Gone." Jackle nodded.

"Yeah. There was a bright light and we found ourselves here." Clawz stated.

"Woah…" NiGHTS said. She then recollected about what had just occurred. She blushed lightly.

"Well, we're just glad you 2 are all right." Puffy said, smiling.

Gillwing roared in agreement. Gulpo tried roaring as well, but only bubbles came out. Everyone laughed.

"Only one problem, though…" Jackle said. Everyone turned their head to hear what the orange nightmaren had to say. "Now what do we do?"

"Well, I'm gonna go build a new lair." Clawz said.

"I'll go practice my singing." Puffy said.

"I'll go dig my grave for when I hear you sing!" Jackle taunted, snickering.

"Then I'll bury you in it!" Puffy screamed, chasing after Jackle, which earned a laugh from Clawz before departing. Gillwing flew away, and Gulpo's water bubble drifted away as well, leaving NiGHTS and Reala alone.

NiGHTS looked at her feet, staring at the grass. She still couldn't believe that she was free… "NiGHTS?" Reala asked.

NiGHTS turned her head. "Yes, Reala?"

"NiGHTS, I…" Reala said, cutting himself off. "N-NiGHTS, I… er…"

NiGHTS put her finger at his lips. "Say no more Reala. I love you too."

Reala quivered. He leaned forward towards NiGHTS's face. He could hear his heart beating in his head. He was inches away from NiGHTS's face. "I love you, NiGHTS." He whispered.

Then, their lips met. They had kissed in the past, but this time, he wanted to give NiGHTS what all she deserved. They remained like that for a few seconds, and NiGHTS draped her arms over Reala's neck. His arms snaked around her back and held her extremely close to himself.

They separated, and gazed at each other lovingly. "I love you, NiGHTS." Reala said.

"I know." NiGHTS said.

And this marks the conclusion of The Dreamer and the Realist! I know, short chapter, cheesy ending, but, what the heck. I suck at endings. XD

Well, see you later, readers! I'll hopefully come up with a new NiGHTS fic soon, but until then…
