After the battle had been won, Princess Lily and the group made the journey to the Mountain of Beginnings and Endings. When they got there, Lily spoke to the Author.

"Author, we need to speak to you!" Lily said.

What do you wish, Daydreamers?

"Well, there's this new enemy. The Dreams. They're just concentrated bad dreams made into a giant cloud of smoke! They take control of people, but we don't know how to defeat The Dreams themselves!" Lily explained.

Hmm, interesting... Yes, The Dreams were one of my original creations... I'll tell you how to handle them. Listen carefully. Arcade. Music. V. Bluebird. Animal. Dog. College. Wizard. Ocean. Snow. Brother. Winter. Each word is a reference to a mission you will have to go on, in that order. I also have a prophecy about the secret identity of The Dreams.

I am a Nightdreamer.

I am someone's brother.

I am the personification of dreams.

The Author herself first created my sister in a dream she had in 2013 in Reality.

That is the riddle I give to you. The Author's voice faded.

"Wait! Author, please don't go!" Lily pleaded!

Coletta chimed in. "Hold on. You're just going to leave us like this? This is a very trying time. Megan's still out there, she's more powerful than ever with her mother's spirit inside of the Nightdreamer gem, and a new enemy is after us, and you're giving us RIDDLES?

Trust me... You will understand my reasons in due time...

All

TIME.

Now, I must go... In another timeline, two people are trying to disrupt fate...

And her voice faded again...

"Well, that was vague..." Cadenza said.

"At least we have a prophecy. I can help with that because I've fulfilled plenty of those in my time traveling the Multiverse!" Esperanza said.

"Well, if we work together, we'll be alright!" Lily said.

Coletta turned to Lily. "I didn't trust an 8-year-old to be able to fight the Nightdreamers, but after what you did in the Battle for Imagination, I trust you completely." Lily looked at her older incarnation in complete awe. She knew how special getting someone as stiff as Coletta was.

"Thank you, Coletta!" Lily said. The two girls shook hands.

"Now, let's get going. We need to get back to the Mansion and try to find out what the next mission will be." Aurora said.

So, they descended the mountain and headed back home.

That evening, Lily and Flint, who were staying with his friends at the mansion for a little while, were in the game room, playing a racing game on Lily's WII.

"C'mon..." Lily said, trying to get her character over the finish line.

"I think I'm gonna win!" Flint said. He was about to win the race when the game started glitching!

"OH, COME ON!" Flint and Lily both said, before laughing.

"Even though that wasn't supposed to happen, it was pretty funny, you've gotta admit!" Lily said.

Flint agreed. "Yeah, it was, but that was weird. I should check that out. Do you mind if I borrow your WII? This could be serious, and I would like to try and fix it." Flint said.

"No problem. While you're checking out the problem, I think I'll play my DS." Lily said. She walked over to the shelf and pulled her Nintendo DS out.

Flint unplugged the WII. "Ok, you do that, and I'll be checking out what happened." He said as he walked out of the room.

Lily turned on the DS. "I think I'll play Imagine: Fashion Designer New York*." She started playing, designing her clothes, when all of a sudden, the screen glitched out and turned black. On the blank screen appeared the symbol of an 8-bit man's face. He had red hair and a mean expression.

"What the heck?" Lily said, mashing buttons and trying to make her DS respond. "Who is this guy?" She thought out loud. She decided to get someone to help. "Flint, you'll never believe what's hap-" She stopped short.

Every single screen in the house, including the timers on the microwave and oven, had the mysterious man's face. The printers were even spouting out picture after picture of him! Flint came running out of the room/lab he had created with his mind. "It's on my tv, too!" He said.

"Who do you think it is? He looks mean, like a Nightdreamer." Lily said.

"Yep, that's a Nightdreamer, alright!" Flint said, looking at the picture.

Just then, Aurora came out of her room. "What on earth is going on in this house?" She said.

"I think I know exactly what's going on!" Lily said, before looking at a picture of the face on the floor. "We've found our next mission!"

"Then, it's off to the Hotel!" Aurora said.

Lily picked up a picture of the man's face off of the floor. "I should take this with us. We could use it to find out who the villain is!" She folded it up and put it in her pocket.

"Now we're ready!" Aurora said.

Aurora got Lily and a few others ready to go to the Hotel, and when they arrived, they were greeted by a frantic hotel housekeeper.

"Thank GOODNESS you're here, Princess! The TVs, phones, and other electronics are all busted!" He said.

"Ok, but what do you mean by busted?" Lily asked.

"Well, everyone was just going about their day, until all of our tech caught this mysterious virus! This mean face has appeared on everything, and whenever someone picks up a ringing phone, this voice says, "I'm gonna wreck it!" over and over again until you hang up!" He explained.

"Yep, that sounds like something a Nightdreamer would say!" Cadenza said.

"Tell me about it!" The housekeeper said, again.

He led everyone into the Hotel lobby, where everything was the same as in the Mansion. The face was everywhere!

"Alright, now which door do you think it is, Lily?" Aurora asked.

Lily looked around the Hotel until she got an idea. "I know! This one says Wreck it Ralph, and the phones say I'm gonna wreck it!" Lily said.

Aurora clasped her hands together "Excellent, you figured it out! Now go and bring light to the Multiverse!" She said.

"Alright, everyone! Let's go!" Lily said. They went through the door.

Author's note: Hello, dreamers! Sorry for the delay, but that was the start of the Wreck it Ralph arc! So, the next chapter will be longer, and will chronicle Lily's adventures at the arcade! Stay lucid!
