Chapter 12: Dreamland, Dreamland~ What A Wonderful Place To Be
Dash and Willow shot out of bed. Dash looked down and looked back up to Willow. "My Shoes!" Without a word, Willow was out the door. The desk chair slowly turned around, revealing Dash's shoes. "How the..." he said aloud.
He walked over to the chair and picked up his shoes. He then went over to Willow's mirror and looked around her room through the mirror.
Unseen and unmoving, Hallow was underneath Willow's bed.
Dash then went back over to the desk and began to write.

Willow skated through the halls, trying to beat her family. She panted as she pushed herself harder and harder.
She then finally made it to the living room. She looked by front of the door, in the coat closet, around the couch, but Dash's shoes were no where to be found.
She heard the sound of key's trying to fit through a lock. Willow quickly sat down. She began to fidget as she looked for something to do. She looked over to see the T.V. remote. She quickly grabbed it and turned the T.V. on.
The squeaky door finely opened. Willow turned around to see Shadow holding the door with one hand and in the other, was a folder with papers messily.
Sapphire came in next. She had a blanket draped over her shoulders. In one hand she had a half empty water bottle, and in the other she had a large bottle of pills. As she entered through the door, she slid her slippers against the white tile. She looked up to Willow with a deathly glare.
Willow jumped in her skin. Goosebumps began to form. Underneath Sapphire's eyes there were large black bags. Willow's attention then went from Sapphire to Rouge and Flint, who had quickly entered though the door.
Shadow suddenly threw the papers on the counter and brought his hands to his head. Rouge walked over to him and rubbed his back. Sapphire had left the room to seek quietness.
Flint walked over to Willow in a dreadful manner and slouched onto the couch. He grabbed the nearest pillow and covered his face with it.
Willow leaned over. "What happened?"
"Well... they finally announced it. Sapphire's... gone crazy. If you hadn't noticed, she has to take medicine from now on." He sighed. "The entire time Willow, she wouldn't stop talking about you and your 'evil side'."
From out of nowhere, a scream filled the house. Flint threw the pillow off his face, "That sounded like it came from down the hall!"
Willow's heard sank. She saw Dash! She immediately thought. She got up and ran for the source of the scream, so did everyone else. As they all raced, Sapphire stood in front of Willow's door, trembling. She turned her head to see her family. Willow walked over, "Sapphire, I can explain!" Willow wrapped one arm around Sapphire, she looked up to see Hallow perfectly in sync with Willow. Hallow then started to make terrifying faces.
Sapphire, shacking , tried to open the bottle of pills. When she finally opened it, she popped two pills out and placed then in her mouth. To get the pills to go down she had to drink the rest of her water.
Shadow approached the two girls, "What's going on?" He popped his head in Willow's room to revel a dark room where it's only light came from the hallway. "Okay, we all just need to go to bed. Especially you Sapphire." As he finished. He pushed Sapphire to her room. Willow entered her room and closed the door. She went over to the mirror. "What were you think you were doing?"
Hallow Laughed. "She deserved it! She took our book... remember?"
"That isn't right!"
"Hush Hush child. Time for you to..."
"Oooo, what's this?" Willow walked over to her desk to pick up a nicely folded piece of paper. She carefully unfolded the paper and began to read.
Dear Willow,
Meet me at Reflection Lake tomorrow
Dash~
"Ooo! It's another date! But... I don't know where that is, or when"
"Willow, time to get your beauty sleep."
'If you say so."
Willow giggly jumped into bed. She took her black and white swirled blanket and pulled it up to her chin. With the biggest grin on her face, she daydreamed away.

Willow was rocking back and forth on her swing with a large smile on her face as she thought of Dash. The sky above was a light purple. The clouds that filled that sky was white puffballs that had a silver lining.
Hallow, from out of no where, began to push Willow from behind."Isn't he amazing? He is isn't he." Hallow kept on pushing. "I think I really like him a lot. I think I'm in love!"
"Of course you are." Hallow said as she rolled her eyes. "Did you know when you dream," She said as she continued pushing Willow. "You can be anywhere, or be anyone. You can even have an object or a person appear right in front of you. You could even fly or breath underwater. You and I have that ability." Hallow stopped pushing and walked around To face Willow. "Many other people don't possess such great power. We can build our own world here. In a world of dreams, we can do anything."
Willow stopped swinging. "Really?"
"Really. Try it out." Hallow said as she crossed her arms.
Willow tried. She crouched down and hovered her hand over the ground. Suddenly, green sprout grew. It rapidly formed into a white rose.
"Careful now." Hallow cautioned, "Your dreams and powers can be affected by your emotions."
'Im doing it, I'm doing it!" In her excitement, more roses soon grew over the entire ground.
Hallow slowly walked around to her. "Wonderful! now there's something we need to talk about."
"Okay," Willow fell to the ground. Sniffing all the beautiful roses. "What's on your mind?"
"I don't think it's a good idea to 'like' Dash."
Willow stood abruptly. "Why not?"
"Because he is still in love with Sapphire."
"But, he kissed me!" The flowers around Hallow and Willow began to wilt.
"That doesn't mean anything Willow! You have to trust me. I'm the only good thing for you!"
"No!" The flowers then turned jet black with long pointed thorns. "You're wrong! I know he loves me. You're... You're just jealous!"
"You're going to regret this Willow."
"You can't stop me from not going! You're my subconscious."
"I never said I didn't want you to see him."
