Dateline: Dark Lady
appears and kidnaps Aneko, Takeru, and the others. She then tried to bring
Takeru to the dark side. Aneko saved her beloved by saying a spell.
At three a.m. a young
woman inched up to the Tokyo palace gate. She was she dreadfully wounded
and near death. She reached up to the bell at the gate with the remaining
strength she had. “*Yes* Yes?” asked the door maid. “I’m dying ….. and…..
I need….. hel-p.” the girl said in a weak voice. “All right, do you think
you have enough strength to make it in yourself?” asked maid as she scanned
the girl for weapons or evil. The scan showed green. “I’m too …weak.” murmured
the girl. “Okay, I’ll send some paramedics to help you in.” said the maid.
“Domo Arigato.” said the girl. Within eight minutes, to paramedics, dressed
in white towel textured robes came out, picked up the girl, and carried
her into the palace. In the process, the door maid ran upstairs to Megan’s
bedchamber. “Your highness!” she cried out. “*Yawn* Yes, what is it?” asked
Megan she asked as she rubbed her eyes. “Sorry to wake you, but we an emergency.”
said the maid. “All right, what is it?” asked the queen. “A girl came to
the gate. She looked badly wounded and she said that she was dying.” explained
the maid. With that, Megan quickly leapt to her feet and ran down stairs
to help the girl.

Aneko was all ready out
of bed and hiding in one of the “safety cubby” in the wall watching the
action. After she heard the bell ring, she jumped right out of bed and
went to investigate. She was watching the computer scan the girl’s blood.
“Parental static: Orphan, Age: seventeen, Height” 5’2, Weight: 170, Hair:
White blond, Eyes: blue, Element: Physic! Ooo! Interesting!” Aneko read
quietly to her. “I’ll have to check to out myself.” Then without thinking,
Aneko quietly turned herself invisible and climbed out of cubby. She tip-toed
over to the operating table where the girl was. “There’s not much we can
do for her.” whispered one of the paramedics to the others. “You mean….
She’s a goner?” asked the second one. The first paramedic nodded in defeat.
Aneko watched and waited for a respond. “If she’s dying, I need to hurry
with this.” she thought. Once the men had cleared out of the room, Aneko
quietly slipped across the room. She stood over the girl. She was badly
beaten all right. Aneko drew a breath and pulled out her dream key. Then
she closed her eyes and wished herself into the dying girl’s dreamworld.
With a bright flash, Aneko vanished into the dreamworld.

*Dream Tour Begins*
Aneko opened her
eyes and found herself into a world of wonder. Bright irises, roses, lilies,
carnations, and chrysanthemums were everywhere. The sun never seemed to
fade away. “This is a physic realm!” thought Aneko. “My lady!!!!” a voice
called out. “Huh?” said Aneko. She looked and saw a girl dressed in a kimono
running up to her. “Yes?” asked Aneko. “Come on, we’ll be late!” said the
girl. “Okay, but late for what?” Aneko asked. “For the show.” answered the
girl. Then the girl handed the princess a rose. “Oh, Domo Arigato.” said
Aneko. Then the girl grabbed her by the hand and dragged her into a colorful
dome.

Aneko was
seated on a colorful rug. The girl sat next to her. They waited a little while
before the lights dimmed on them. Elephants, wizards, and dancers performed an
excellent show. Aneko liked the show, but she couldn’t help but notice them
black and dark waves would start to appear. She knew that was a bad sign that
the girl was dying quickly and was trying to wake up. When the show was over,
Aneko quickly rose and said: “I’ve got to go you guys.” The girl and performers
waved a tearful good-bye. But Aneko tried to get back, the key wouldn’t work.
“Okay, what’s going on?” she asked. “Our creation is dying and those who enter
our will be trapped in.” explained the girl. “Oh great!” she yelped. “But there
is a puzzle to get out.” said the girl. “How?” asked Aneko. “We don’t know.”
said one of the dancers. * Aneko falls to the ground * “But we’ll try to figure
it out mutually.” said one of the wizards in joy. “Great, this will take longer
than I excepted!” Aneko thought in melancholy.

As it turns out, the
puzzle was an ancient riddle. The group was in deep thought. The realm
kept trying to shut up. “We need to try to hold the realm open long enough
for us to solve the riddle. Will you help us?” Aneko asked one the wizards.
“Certainly.” said the wizard. Then he flew up to one of the walls and said
a spell to the realm open. The group was in deep thought until they heard
the wizard call out: “Guys! Think faster! The realm is shutting down! I
don’t think I can hold it anymore!” The crew began to think faster. Then
Aneko came up with the answer. So she stood up and yelled: “The answer is:
Good and Evil!” With that, the portal opened and Aneko said good-bye again
and jumped into it.

*Dream tour ends*
Aneko fell out
onto the floor and quickly ran back up stairs to her room. The girl died later
in the day. Aneko felt sorry and partly guilty. And because of her guilt and her
adventure, she vowel never to go into another dying physic person dream realm
ever again. And she stuck to her promise from that day on.
