The First Time of Their Lives (A NiGHTS into Dreams Story)

It was a bright sunny day in the city known as Twin Seeds, there was a boy named Elliot Edwards who is getting ready for his basketball game after his dream adventure with NiGHTs.
Everyone is getting ready for Twin Seeds' 100th anniversary.
"Come on guys, it's game day!" Elliot said.
"We're coming!" His friend said.

Elliot and his friends arrived at the basketball court where they find Roger Wilkeah and his buddies.
"Hey! Roger and his gang are here!" Said the boy.
"What do we do now?" He asked.
Elliot puts his hand onto his chest and remembers his courage ideya, "I think I can do this."
Elliot turned to his friends, "You guys ready to beat Roger and his gang?"
"Ready!" They both said.
Elliot and the boys stand in front of Roger and his buddies.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Elliot and his friends, who came in for our challenge." Roger said.
"Yes, and now we're up for the challenge, between you and me." Elliot said.
"Well then, let's play!"
As the game goes on, Elliot bounces the ball and stops in front of Roger and his friend.
"Ha! I gotcha now!" Roger said.
"Not If I can do… this!"
Elliot pushed through Roger and his friends, jumps and slams the ball through the hoop making Roger and his friends gasped.
"How did he do that?" His friend asked.
Elliot lands on his feet and his friends cheered for him.
"Great job, Elliot!" His friend said.
"Way to go!" He said.
"Thanks guys," said Elliot.
Roger and his gang saw Elliot and his friends cheering, he walks up to him and puts his hand out.
"Good game, Elliot." Roger said.
Elliot holds Roger's hand and shakes it, "My pleasure."

Not only that, there was a girl named Claris Sinclair who is on her way to the auditions for "Twin Dreams" after she had a dream adventure with NiGHTs too.
Claris looked up at the sign that saids, "Twin Dreams Auditions Today".
"Well, here goes nothing." Claris thought to herself.
Claris went inside the tower and went backstage. Peeking from behind the curtain, Claris saw a girl who is singing in front of the judges. She puts her hand onto her chest and remembers her courage Ideya.
"I think I can do this," she thought to herself.
The girl left the stage as Claris walked onto stage and stands in front of the microphone.
"Name?" Said the first judge.
"Claris Sinclair." She said.
"I see, well take it away, Sinclair."
Claris takes a deep breath and begins to sing perfectly, the judges were surprised that the girl's singing voice was amazing… even the third judge woke up.
"Well done, Sinclair. Welcome to the show!" Said the second judge.
Claris giggled, "Thank you."

Later that day, everyone was enjoying the Twin Seeds 100th anniversary parade.
Elliot and his friends had won the basketball game and saying goodbye to each other.
"See ya later, Elliot!" He said to him.
Elliot waved his hand to his friend, "See ya!"
Elliot started walking towards downtown where everyone is having their parade going on.
"Wow, that parade is sure in full swing," he thought to himself.
It was only a day ago that he met NiGHTs in his dreams.
Meanwhile inside the Seeds Tower, Claris stepped onto stage and took a deep breath.
It was only a day ago that she also met NiGHTs in her dreams.
"Alright, here I go." She thought to herself.
Claris took a deep breath again and began to sing her song.
Outside, Elliot hears someone singing, "Where's that singing coming from?"
Indeed, he was right: he heard Claris' singing voice from inside the tower.
Elliot ran towards the tower and he saw fireworks in the sky and a poster that said, "Twin Dreams".
"Hey, that building looks familiar, I wonder if…"
Just then, Elliot saw was an image of a purple jester smiling at him.
"NiGHTs must have made it," Elliot smiled as he went inside the tower.
Suddenly, Elliot realized that the singing voice was actually Claris.
"Claris!" He yelled as he started running inside the tower.

Elliot walks into the auditorium, where he finds Claris singing on stage, he rushed onto the stage and Claris stopped singing when she saw Elliot running up to her.
"Claris?" He asked.
"Elliot?" She asked.
"It's you, you're the girl that I found you lying in the ground!"
"And you're the boy that I saw before you disappeared!"
"Really?"
"Of course!"
Then Elliot and Claris began to hug.
"Claris, this is not a good time to have visitors!" Said the director.
"But sir, Elliot is more than a visitor, in fact, he should have one of the best seats in the house tonight," she said to the director.
"And why is that?" he responded.
"Oh, no reason, except the fact that we helped saved the world," Claris answered, being flirty toward Elliot.
"Gosh," he said, being sweaty.
"Yeah… Hey, wanna go to the carnival after the show?"
"Really? Yes!"
"Great! Oh wait, how did you find me?"
"Well I heard you singing from inside of this tower."
"Oh okay, but did you hear me singing?"
"Yeah, you did great!"
Claris blushed and giggled, "Gee, thanks. Hey, I have an Idea!"
"Yeah?"
"Listen."
Elliot leaned his ear into her mouth and she whispered, "Wanna sing a duet?"
"Of course!"
"Yes! I'll tell the director while you get ready for the show!"
"Okay, I'll watch the parade, then I'll head back home and get ready before the show starts!"
"Alright, see you at the show!" Claris waved at him.
"Okay!" Elliot yelled back at her as he left the auditorium.

Elliot ran into the auditorium where he finds Claris singing on stage, he rushed onto the stage and Claris stopped singing when she saw Elliot.
"Claris?" He asked.
"Elliot?" She asked.
"It's you, you're the girl that I found you lying in the ground!"
"And you're the boy that I saw before you disappeared!"
"Really?"
"Of course!"
Then Elliot and Claris began to hug.
"Claris, this is not a good time to have visitors!" Said the director.
"But sir, Elliot is more than a visitor, in fact he should have one of the best seats in the house tonight," she said to the director.
"And why is that?" he responded.
"Oh, no reason, except the fact that we helped saved the world," Claris answered, being flirty toward Elliot.
"Gosh," he said, being sweaty.
"Yeah… Hey, wanna go to the carnival after the show?"
"Really? Yes!"
"Great! Oh wait, how did you find me?"
"Well I heard you singing from inside of this tower."
"Oh okay, but did you hear me singing?"
"Yeah, you did great!"
Claris blushed and giggled, "Gee, thanks. Hey, I have an Idea!"
"Yeah?"
"Listen."
Elliot leaned his ear to Claris' mouth and whispered, "Wanna sing a duet?"
"Of course!"
"Yes! I'll tell the director while you get ready for the show!"
"Okay, I'll watch the parade, then I'll head back home and get ready before the show starts!"
"Alright, see you at the show!" Claris waved at him.
"Okay!" Elliot yelled back at her as he left the auditorium.

That evening, Elliot got ready for the show, head out the door and arrived at the Twin Seed Tower.
"I can't believe Claris invited me to see her show tonight!" He said to himself.
At the dressing room, Claris looked at herself in the mirror, now dressed up in her light-green dress and white penny loafers.
"Where's Elliot? He's supposed to be here any minute!" She said to herself.
Just then, a producer entered the room, "Claris, someone's here to see you." She said.
"Really? Who is it?"
Elliot came into the dressing room, now dressed in his white buttoned-up shirt, blue jeans and white shoes.
Claris ran up to him and hugged him, "Elliot! Glad you made it!"
"Yeah I know, and just in time to see your show!" Elliot replied.
"Remember our idea?" She asked.
"Of course, duet!"
"Okay, now let's practice for our song!"
Claris and Elliot began practicing for their song for the show. After that, they finished practicing their song.
"Alright, that was great!" Elliot said.
"Yeah, we are gonna be great!" Claris said.
All of the sudden, a producer entered the room again.
"Elliot Edwards, please take your seats. Claris Sinclair, get ready."
"Thank you, ma-am."
"See you on stage!"
"Okay!"
After that, Elliot left the dressing room and Claris continued getting ready.

At the performance, everyone cheered for Claris' amazing performance as Elliot clapped his hands.
"Holey virtuoso! Claris completely rules!" Elliot thought, "Who's a thought that her singing could be as amazing in real life as in her dreams?"
Claris reached her hand out to Elliot and takes her hand as she pulls him onto the stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, me and my friend Elliot has a special song for you all," Claris announced.
"It's the song that we dreamt up together," Elliot announced.
"We dreamt that we saved Nightopia and defeated the Wizeman."
"And don't forget our purple friend!"
Claris giggled, "Yeah, that too. And now, let's start the song."
"Maestro, if you please?" Elliot asked.
The conductor nodded and starts up the band as the music begins to play.
Elliot and Claris stood in front of the mic.

Elliot:

In a dream I can see

You are not far away

Anytime, anyplace

I can see your face *looks at Claris*

You're that special one that

I've been waiting for

And I hope you're looking for someone like me *puts his hands into his chest*

Claris:

In my dreams I can hear you calling me *looks at Elliot*

In the night, everything's so sweet *she holds Elliot's hand*

In your eyes I feel there's so much inside. *their clothes fade into their normal clothing*

Suddenly, the whole auditorium turned into Spring Valley.

Both:

In the nights, dream delight

I want to see you standing there

In the nights, dream delight

I found someone who really cares *they hold hands and slow-danced together*

In the nights, dream delight

I want to see you smile again

In the nights, dream delight

You are the one I've waited for.

Claris:

*puts her hand onto her chest* In a dream we can do everything we want to

There's nowhere I'd rather be but here with you

The stars above light the way only for you and I

I'm so glad I found the one that I've been looking for *puts her hands onto her chest and twirls*

Elliot:

Keep the dream (Claris: Keep the dream) of the one you're hoping for

(Claris: Love) Love can come through an open door (Claris: Yeah) *he holds Claris' hand and looks at each other*

Just be strong (Claris: Just be strong, oh)

And you're sure to find the one, the one, the one, the one! *they began to fly*

Both: In the nights, dream delight

I want to see you standing there

In the nights, dream delight

I found someone who really cares *Claris hid inside the clouds and Elliot looks for her*

In the nights, dream delight

I want to see you smile again *Claris pops up and Elliot jumps back in surprise*

In the nights, dream delight

You are the one I've waited for.

They find themselves in the skies of Twin Seeds and began to dance as the Nightopian fairy plays the flute.

Both:

Wooh-oh!

In the nights (Nightopians: In the nights), dream delight (Nightopians: Delight)

I want to see you standing there (Nightopians: See you standing there)

In the nights (Nightopians: In the nights), dream delight (Nightopians: Delight)

I found someone who really cares (Nightopians: Wooh-ooh yeah)

In the nights (Nightopians: In the nights), dream delight (Nightopian: Delight)

I want to see you smile again (Nightopian: Yeah yeah)

In the nights (Nightopians: In the nights), dream delight (Nightopians: Delight)

You are the one I've waited for. (Nightopians: The one the one wooh oh) *they hold hands as they twirl slowly*

Chorus:

In the nights, (Elliot: Oh baby) delight *their normal clothes changed back into their fancy clothes*

They found themselves back in the auditorium as they continued performing.

Elliot:

You and me,

Claris:

we could be,

Both:

Together forever In the nights, delight

Claris:

Baby (Elliot: Baby) Baby (Chorus: Oh woh) Yeah, yeah

Chorus:

In the nights (Both: Yeah, yeah), delight

Claris:

I found someone

Elliot:

I found my love in the night (Chorus: In the nights, delight), In that dream with you girl

Claris:

You're the one I waited for

Elliot:

I dream, I dream, I dream, I dream, and you know

Claris:

Yeah yeah

Both:

Wooh-ooh; yeah, yeah, yeah *they looked at each other and hugged*

When the song ended, everyone stood up and applaud for the teens.
Elliot and Claris took a bow, "Thank you, everyone!"
They looked at their friends, who also got invited for the show as they cheered.
"Great show, Elliot!" His friend said.
"You did good!" His other friend said.
"Wahoo! Way to go, Claris!" Her friend said.
Claris and Elliot looked at each other, then smiled.

After the production of "Twin Dreams" was a huge success, Elliot meets up with Claris in the theater lobby.
"We did great, haven't we?" Elliot asked.
"Of course, our show was a huge success!" Claris replied.
"I know, that was amazing!"
"Ready to go to the carnival?"
"I'm ready as I'll ever be!"
Elliot and Claris then went to the carnival to spend the rest of the night, Elliot was talking to Claris about his basketball game.
"And that's when I knew I wanted to play basketball!"
"No way!"
"Yes way!"
Elliot and Claris rode the Ferris wheel, merry-go-round, a roller coaster, and the bumper cars, which Claris bumped Elliot in surprise.
"Surprise!" Claris yelled.
"Yikes!" Elliot yelped.
Elliot and Claris brought ice cream at the stand and she laughed that he almost dropped his ice cream.
Elliot and Claris went to the photo booth and took pictures of themselves, making silly faces and they had two photos.
Then Elliot and Claris walked down to the shore and starts splashing each other.
"I got you now, Elliot!" Claris shouted at him.
"Not if I can't splash you!" Elliot shouted, splashing at her.
After that, Elliot and Claris then walked on the pier and looked at the stars above.
"I had a super time today," Elliot said.
"Me too," Claris answered.
"You know, I think we learned something today."
"Yeah?"
"Courage is the power that we face our own fears when we're feeling nervous."
"Yeah, like I got to be in audition."
"And I stood up between Roger & his friends."
"Yeah."
"Now that we saved Nightopia, we can finally sleep in peace."
"Of course."
"Do you think NiGHTs is really gone?"
"I think so, but I think what they did was right for the world… and us."
"But I can't help but wonder, did we actually save NiGHTs by making our dreams come true?"
"Only one way to find out," Claris then kissed Elliot on the lips, making him blushed.
"Claris, what was that?" Elliot asked.
"It's to make our dreams come true!" Claris replied.
"Oh, I see."
"I love you, Elliot."
"Love you too, Claris."
Claris leaned her head onto Elliot's shoulder as they watched the fireworks.

At the same moment, a weakened purple creature comes to life.
"Aha! I'm back!" Said the purple creature, then begins to fly up into the air.

That night, Elliot got ready for bed after he got home and starts thinking about Claris, "Hmm, Claris Sinclair, eh? Better call it a night," Elliot said to himself.
At Claris' home, Claris got ready for bed after she got home and starts thinking about Elliot, "Elliot Edwards, hmm? Time to pack it in, Claris!" Claris said to herself.
Elliot looks at the tower from his window, "NiGHTS…"
Claris looks at the tower, far away from her window, "I wanted to say…"
"Thanks for everything." Elliot and Claris said together.
When the teenagers are about to go to sleep, they heard a swooshing sound coming from outside.
As Elliot and Claris went to sleep, a mysterious purple figure flew across the night sky, stands on top of the Seeds Tower and began playing their flute.
And that purple figure… is NiGHTS.

The End.
