Shadow the Hedgehog

Zamy blinked. "Sure Miles, in a few years when you're 18." ---- "Hmmm. I could try going in through the window while you go through here."

"I can imagine how hard that must be." ----- "We'll need to be quick and quiet then."

"It was my pleasure." Zamy teleported herself and Miles to the apartment. "Home at last." ---- "Oh great, how many guards?"

"Ok then. Goodnight Anna, goodnight Harmony. I'll see you tomorrow." ---- "After you then."

"Shall we head home for tonight then?" ---- "Yeah. It's a bargaining chip and nothing else," said Hope, looking around worried.

"I know, I'm just having a bit of fun." ----- "Yeah. It could ping us back or send us to a nightmare."

"Good. Don't wish away your youth so quickly." ---- "Yeah. Not sure we can use it though."

"Yes we are. And you won't be one any time soon." --- "I know I'm just teasing."

"No problem." Zamy teleported them back to Haven. ---- "I see. I thought you'd be precisw. Oh well we'll hust see what it is."

"Thank you." Zamy pulled out her wallet and paid for the swim wear. ---- "Ok, perhaps not then."

"It certainly works on you." ----- "Taken hostage and moved?"

"Ok then. What about you Harmony?" ---- "It's too empty in here."

"I'd say the first one suits you. And you don't have to go for that if you don't want to." ---- Hope kicked in the door to the boss's office.

Zamy settled on a polka dot bikini then came over to see how the girls were doing. ---- "You ready?"

Zamy headed after them, looking for a swim suit of her own. ---- Hope clambered over the railing at the top, a set of large doors in front of her.

"They usually close in an hour or so. There's the clothes shop." ---- Hope took pot shots at the guards as she made her way up.

Zamy telwported Harmony and Anna to the town centre, which was fairly quiet at this time of night. ----- "Let's do it." Hope shot her grapple gun at the ceiling.

"Ok, we won't be long. Don't run off." ------- "We could use the grapple guns to get to the top floor a lot easier, rather than run up the stairs."

"Excellent. Do you want to come for a trip to town Miles, or stay in the apartmemt and watch something? It's up to you. I'm not going to order you off to bed this early." ---- "They seem to ne. I'm not sure how though. Oh well, as long as it's not too hard."

"Don't you still need a swomsuit Anna? I was going to take you and Harmony to get yours tonight." ---- "I'm trying to make the most of it," replied Hope with a grin.

"I doubt the real Prowers would like the thought of him taking their name into his delusion," laughed Zamy. "Are we all ready to go now?" ----- Hope gave a loud "oof" and looked down, the bullet stuck in her belt buckle. "That was lucky." As she reloaded she spotted the guards below, and with little forethought slid down the banister, firing at them as she went.

"A shame Dylan and Skye weren't cooperating." ---- Hope turned the corner and ran up the stairs, firing her pistols at the dazed guards. ----- In the real world, Hope's hand hit the dream machine control, changing the settings. --- In the dream she took out tje guards and cjarged up the stairs, jump kicking one of the guards she met through the banister. When she fired at the next set, taking all except one out as her guns gave a 'click'. The lone guard then shot her just as she tazed him.

"Hopefully Miles can handle them quickly." ---- Hope waited for the explosion.

"I'm more concerned about you getting stuck reading to them for an hour." ----- "That'll clear the front. I'll go up as soon as it goes off."

"I'll get you out of here before that, don't worry," replied Zamy in a hushed voice. ------ "NIce one." Hope peeked round the corner and immediately pulled back. "Ok, there's a really big staircase we neeed to get up, and a small army waiting for us. How do you feel about those odds?"
