Jake went home that night disappointed. So much for his big surprise. He'd have to talk to Rose later, right now, he had bigger problems to deal with. He thought back to the alley, going over every moment with careful examination. There were four trolls, and he laid a good smack down on four. The Leprechaun was off to his left. The alley was pretty open, not many hiding places in it. The four trolls and the Leprechaun were all within Jake's line of sight when he got hit, so whoever it was, was not in the alley when Jake entered it.

Jake didn't see anyone near the alley before he entered. In fact, other than Danika, he hadn't seen anyone on the street at all. The only answer Jake could think of right now was another troll had come out of a nearby sewer. What else could it have been?

As Jake arrived at his own front steps he started to re-think his priorities. Rose first, trolls later. Jake walked through the door and went straight up to his room without a word to anyone, he could do the whole family thing later.

As soon as he made it to his room, he pulled out his phone and started to call Rose. The phone rang, but much to Jake's dismay, no answer. Then he got another idea. He went to his desk, opened up a drawer and pulled out his dream charm. He clutched it in his hand as he laid on his bed and drifted off.

As Jake's mind went blank, he found himself in the dream corridor, standing just outside his own door. He started off in the direction of Rose's door, he's done this enough times to know exactly where it is. After walking a short distance he was there, standing outside the door labeled 'Rose.' Jake opened it, and stepped in.

After a quick look around, he couldn't find Rose anywhere, she was still awake. As Jake stepped back out into the dream corridor. He started shaking his head and woke himself up.

When he woke up in his room he looked at his alarm clock. He'd been in there for almost 10 minutes. Dream charms were strange things. When you wore them, they helped you fall asleep much quicker, but removed the time lapse that occurred, that made time move much faster in the dream realm.

Now that he knew Rose was awake, he made another attempt to call her, but still no answer.

Jake stood there alone in his room, "Where are you Rose?"
