Skye Prower

Skye stuck his head out of Dylan's hidden station and laughed. "Yeah. It's great to see her making friends with someone who isn't related or a servant. I was really worried about bringing her into another world. Glad my fear were misplaced." ------------- Melody gave a little gasp as Hope hit the ground. "Are you alright?" she asked, kneeing down beside her. ------------- "It's clearly not nothing Red. C'mon, I'm your friend, I can help with the problem." ------------ "Yeah. But not something to worry us now. Let's go and catch up with the others," said Ziona as she started skipping away again.

(ooc: Careful with editing your post's Locke! I missed all the stuff from you're edit.) "Even in your dreams you still want to hide Dylan?" Skye asked. He looked back at Tikal. "Yeah they were, hang on, I can see some of them coming now." ------------- Melody couldn't keep her laughter contained any longer. She let go and doubled up, unable to stop herself. ------------ "We should be... wait, everything changing... Oooh, this is a nice island." Mina looked at her friend. "Are you ok? You look a little upset." ----------- "Oh, sorry Glen. I was just try to think, as I've no idea what I would do."

"I'm sure they're following me, just slowly, so let's check out your monitoring station and see if we can find anything there to help us." ------------- Melody grinned, the leapt towards Hope and grabbed her in a hug that pinned her arms to her sides. "Oh no! we're gonna stay together for ever and ever and ever and ever..." Melody said mimicking the same tone of voice her mother had used when obsessing over Crowley, straining not to laugh.

"That's the idea. A perfect prison where we don't want to leave and can't see the bars. Now, where did the others go? They were right behind me!" ------------ "Who say's that hasn't happened already Hope," said Melody with a grin.

Skye began wandering the island, and soon found Dylan in the hammock. "Looks like you're making the best of this too!" ------------- "Skye's definitely clingy, you've seen how he acts with her. But I'd guess there some of that, how'd ya put it, strange voodoo echidna stuff on top of that." ------------ "Yeah, we've still got all our lives ahead of us to do what we want first." ----------- "Now would that be helping kids or brainwashing them I wonder," pondered Ziona

"It looks like an island. I just hope it's the right one," replied Skye "Maybe because you didn't want us all piling into your living room the dream dropped us nearby." ----------- "I'll get back to you on that Hope!" said Melody. "I'm still not sure yet. But quite frankly I find it utterly weird that there so close so quickly. It'd have said there was something else involved here." ---------- "The future? Well, I've never really thought about it before." --------- "Heh, that would be hilarious!"

"I still can't believe he's dating at all. I can't help but think of him as my little baby brother who thinks of nothing outside a laboratory."

"If I ever return to my home time I'll pop in and have a look will I?" suggested Melody as she gave Hope a playful nudge. "But I wouldn't worry about it. I don't think you're the type to ever get grouchy. Besides, I agree with the compassion being bad, only I'm still not sure about Tikal being alive. I have a suspicion my brother is actually dating a ghost. Which would be about par for the course for him."

"Uh," said Skye looking around. "I'd hoped to arrive where you were, but I'm not sure if it worked this time."

Skye kept going as the world changed around him and settled down. "Dylan? Are you there," he asked, looking around.

"He got into an argument with Dad about his bosses. Something about GUN doing an info swap. I kinda backed away when things got heated so don't know the details. I think maybe you should talk to him, you do have a knack for cheering him up"

(ooc: I'm sure it won't happen, but you can see how it 'could', if that makes sense.... actually, I have worked out how 30 years later would could come to pass in this game, but it would mean killing off at least three characters. But yeah, what info did get passed on?) "No sense in wasting time then," said Skye as he set off, the world just beginning to change on the edge of peoples visions.. --------- Mina gave a thoughful sigh as she set off after Skye. "You know Red, I suppose I would want a family someday." (ooc: I'm assuming when Mina say's this she doesn't know Red can't have kids, otherwise she'd have said something else.) --------- "Heh, that sounds like the plot of several films I used to watch.... well, when I was this age!" Ziona said with a smile as she also followed Skye out of the hotel.

(ooc: and with Shadow reaction there I can see the first hints of the emergence of King Shadow..... :wacko: ) "This way, I believe," said Skye. "No arguments allowed this way until we are awake, alright?" Skye stated as he started walking. -------------- "I know, but she seemed to be a little different, that's all. Well, I suppose we should follow my 'son' and find your last friend." ------------- Ziona gave a laugh, possibly one twinged with hope that it would stay outside the dream. "Maybe I could start up a junior league," she joked back.

"There's the Red I know," Mina grinned. "I knew she was still around somewhere." ------------------- Ziona sighed. "Don't worry, we know this isn't gonna last outside the dream."

"Yeah Tikal." Skye stood up. "Shall we leave the arguments and get going then?" he asked the room. -------------------- "It's good to know you'll always be there as my friend," said Mina, giving Red a friendly hug, "even if currently you do look old enough to be my mother," she teased. -------------------- "Heh. At least it makes it easier to hide."

Skye looked a little embarrassed at Dylan's comments. "With any luckthis will be the last dreamworld we need to worry about. And Shadow seems fine, just arguing with Dad at the moment. Hopefully we'll," Skye raised his voice, "be on our way to you VERY VERY SOON!" ------ Ziona gave a sigh of relief. "Sorry Glen, didn't mean to make you fall." She entered the room with everyone else. "Wow, you all look so odd from this angle." ------ Mina smiled. "Good. I'd hate it if anything ever happened to our friendship."

"Yeah, I just wasn't expecting that kinda entrance," muttered Skye. -------------- "Could see? You mean I'm not your friend right now?" Mina asked as a joke. -------------- Ziona rushed over to where Glen had fall. "Glen, are you alright?" she squeaked with worry.

"Dylan?" Please tell me either your teleporter's working now or you know where to direct us." --------------- "I've just the one strange friend Red. And even's he's not really what you'd call a friend. So, yeah, my only friend is probably you, and you're not strange." -------------- "I've gotta move fast. I can't take as big steps as you can," Ziona joked.

"If you're looking for opening's Shadow I'm sure I can find one or two on Moebius if you wanted," said Mina in a voice which was hard to tell if she was joking or not.

"You seem to have a lot of strange friends Red," Mina commented, her head cocked slightly to one side. -------------- Ziona smiled, took Glen's hand, then started skipping towards the stairs. -------------- "You're right. I just need to get everyone's attention first." Skye gather a small portion of magical energy, then suddenly released it, causing a loud, but not ear ringing, bang to occur. "Okay everyone. Save the argument till we're... Ahem. Let's find Dylan, then make our next move."

"It sounds like things are getting a little fraught downstairs Tikal. I might need to break up the party soon." ----------------- "Uh, I'll just let the two of you argue," Melody said as she moved away. ---------------- "Yeah, I've had enough of the dream world and freaky dream kids." Melody bristled when she heard that. "So who's this Dylan?" Mina asked. ---------------- "Hehehe. Thanks. I suppose we should find out what everyone else is up to.

"I think you might be reaching a little there Dad" ------------- "Sorry Red. Just the idea that I'd want to be cruel to my kid's in any way... just kinda set me off." ----------- "Thank's Glen. You're the best," said Ziona, hugging him tightly.

"I hope he manages it, that's all." ------------- "So you're saying it's my dream to have a kid with a mutilating illness?" asked Mina. "WHAT KIND OF SICK TWISTED PERSON DO YOU TAKE ME FOR?" she yelled. ------------- "I'm a little confused about what you said there dad. And I really hope you're right Shadow" ------------- "I know you want me older again, but when we wake up we'll have all that time in the real world. I can only be a kid for a little while longer. Thanks for standing with me."

"So do I Tikal," said Skye sitting down on the ground. "When we... talked... before, I got the impression that there was something tragic in his past, but I wasn't expecting anything like this." He opened his radio. "Dylan, it might be an idea to give the teleporter another try now that you know where we are. With something to focus on, and as your aren't leaving the dream, it might be worth a shot." --------------- "Red," replied Mina sounding a little exasperated, "my dream son is a fox with two tails. Who else could you be referring to?" --------------- "I'd agree with you on both points there. Maybe Crowley is just enjoying the attention. Though, if Mom's like that, and Skye goes all sugary, how the hell am I gonna react if I fall in love?" Melody asked herself, sounding a little worried. --------------- "I don't care how hard it's gonna be. As long as I can make the most of it while I can."
