A Dream.

Continued from The Water Type

Kay was running for her life, through a forest with a thousand Rhanos after her. She turned around, nodded to Lightning and yelled "Lightning, Lightning Shield!" and pointed to the wall of Super-Charging Rhanos.

Lightning just looked up at her with her big black eyes, blinked, and started giving herself a bath. Where were Sara and Sam? she picked up Lightning, and ran.

On Earth she could beat her best friend at racing, and could even run down her driveway at 10 m.p.h. to catch up to her friend's car and shout an animal noise as in "Good-bye!", but here, she didn't know how much longer she could run on. Soon she tripped over a root. As the Rhanos closed in, she mustered all her strength and screamed. Surely Sam and Sara heard that! 

Sara may have asked for a dream, but Kay certainly got one. Kay awoke in her room at Sara's house. And indeed, people heard her. Sam, Sara, Apatabront, Lugmon, and Mr. and Mrs. Mills came running to find out what was the matter.

"Sorry," Kay whispered. "I just... had a bad dream, that's all." 

Mrs. Mills offered her warm milk and Kay gulped it down. It didn't taste like Earth milk, so it must have come from some kind of sporemon.

"Get some rest," Sara said as she and Sam left the room. "We've got to go to Rhano Forest to track down one of those four Sporemon."

And with that reassuring bit of news Kay lay awake most of the rest of the night, praying for a good day tomorrow.
