NiGHTS: Back to Earth

Actuality 2

Pammy's was a neighbor of Helen's, but Pammy lived near the train station so it was more convenient for getting out of the rain. When the five had gotten inside, Pammy had immediately asked, "Would anyone like any towels?"

"Yeah, sure," said Helen, "I bet we would all use some towels."

Pammy nodded her head and went upstairs to grab five towels. They were soaked from the rain after all; in need of being dry.

"Oh," Helen had just remembered, "Pammy and I performed the song that you taught me, Will watched it."

"That's great!" NiGHTS exclaimed, "I bet you guys did great."

"They did," Will confirmed, "they both did an awesome job."

Pammy came downstairs with a pile of light blue towels, she handed them to each person or Nightmaren that was there, "here you go guys!"

"Thanks Pammy!" NiGHTS exclaimed, he dried himself off, but was still wet, so he shook his head around which only made everyone else wetter.

"Way to go NiGHTS," Reala said in an angry fashion, "now you've made us all wet."

"But you're already wet," NiGHTS observed, "how could I make them wet if they're wet already?"

"Um, maybe we should talk about why you're here," Helen said as the covered her hair with her towel. She pointed to some couches to sit on.

NiGHTS flew over to one of the seat then sat crossed legged. "So, let us explain!"

Reala sat on the edge of the sofa setting opposite to the one NiGHTS was sitting on, "I don't think you know NiGHTS, but those shoes…."

"Transports anything paralooped to this world?" NiGHTS made the right guess then smirked, "you did paraloop me; I could have guessed it had to do something with that."

"Well, I do remember you transporting me to Helen's Nightopia," Will said as he sat next to NiGHTS.

"Same here," Helen sat next to Will, "only that I was transported to Will's Nightopia."

"Those were also special shoes," Reala explained, "very useful, could get myself to anyone's Nightopia. Most of the times visitors can't get out, you two were too lucky."



Pammy finally dried herself enough to sit on the couch where Reala was sitting. "But still, if you paralooped NiGHTS then how did you get here?"

Reala just glared at NiGHTS, "You Know Who pulled me with!"

"You mean Voldamort?" NiGHTS jokingly asked.

"No," Reala sputtered out, "I mean you!"

"Well, sorry, I just didn't know what was happening to me, I panicked" said NiGHTS, and then explained further, "we were still fighting after we went to the Waking World. I grabbed Reala then threw him to the ground. Then you guys came, and Pammy tripped over Reala. Which was very funny, I may admit."

Pammy had gotten the story completely, yet she had to ask, "But Reala, why did you help me get up?"

"You think that I would be inconsiderate?" Reala answered.

"Um, yeah," Pammy pointed out, "you were inconsiderate enough to use me for your own evil needs."

"You aren't over this, are you?" Reala crossed his arms, "You seemed fine for all of these years until you saw me again." Reala was right, looking at the Waking Watcher all of these years, she was doing well with her life, not mad at Reala at all for all that he's done to her.

"What do you mean, 'all of these years?'" Pammy was as mad as ever, "I may have a hard time remembering my dreams, but I think I would remember seeing you!"

"Oh, about that," NiGHTS announced, "Jackle told me that Reala here has been viewing you with the ball thingy that Jackle owns. Reala's been using it more than Jackle."

Pammy took a deep breath; she wished that she didn't know that. Not only had Reala used her, stole her first kiss, he also had been stalking her, "Just…why?"

"I don't know," Reala shrugged, "you're just…different from other visitors."

It was Helen's cue to stop this argument, "guys, can we please stop this? Perhaps we need to get to sleep."

"I can do this all night," Reala smirked, "I don't sleep."

"Well, I do," Pammy argued, "you may take joy into bickering, but I don't. So how about us humans get to sleep and you two can watch TV?"

"Fine with me," said NiGHTS.

Pammy went back upstairs to grab some blankets for Will and Helen.

NiGHTS just looked at Reala.



"What do you want NiGHTS?" Reala asked, annoyed as ever.

"I think you're starting to like her," NiGHTS excitedly observed, "you've never actually took a liking to a visitor before."

"Are you deaf?" Reala asked, "We were just arguing. Also, I hate her as much as any other Visitor, if not more."

"Good," Pammy called out as she walked downstairs, "I also have a boyfriend, and he is much nicer than you." When Pammy got to the couches, she threw a blanket and a pillow for each couch for Will and Helen to sleep on. Next, she signaled NIGHTS and Reala to the basement, "The TV's down here."

"Sweet!" NIGHTS exclaimed then flew down the stairs, "come on Reala, her basement is awesome."

"Fine," Reala took a look at Pammy, "you better not lock us in there."

"Of course not," said Pammy, "then I would lock NiGHTS in with."

Reala went downstairs with NiGHTS to see a well furnished carpeted room with an HDTV on the wall. It was a room that Reala wouldn't mind being locked into if NiGHTS wasn't with him.

NiGHTS was already rummaging through Pammy's DVD collection as he looked at the back of the cases.

Yet Reala wondered why she said that she had a boyfriend if they had recently broken up. I was obviously a lie that she told; it didn't matter to Reala, they both greatly disliked each other anyway.

"Hey Reala," NiGHTS called out, "how about this Labyrinth movie?"

"Sure why not," Reala shrugged as he flew over to the couch. Reala knew this was going to be a long night.
