A party? Dream sounded genuinely interested. I love parties. I have the perfect hat for one, see? From somewhere in their cloak they pulled out a large hat with a wide, wide brim, which, complete with the conical top and cream colouring, resembled a frosted cake.

"Um," one of Jamie's friends, Georgia (?), started to say, "I'm not sure because it's an all-girls overnight party."

"Yeah", another one, Virginia (?), replied, "So, what exactly are you? A guy or a girl?"

Sorry, I'm having trouble keeping up with everyone's names.

[Wouldn't it just be easier to shorten your characters to just Dan, Rose, and Jamie?]

I am neither. Dream said as they pulled down their hood and set the cake hat on their head. Their overlong white hair fell in a wave. I am they who walk where no one else does. I am Dream.

^(And ruin the plot? )

I think what Dream had just said made pretty much everyone even more confused.

"Well, still if you're not a girl, then you're not invited," Virginia said.

"But if you're not a boy, either," Georgia responded, "Then, I guess, technically, you're invited to our slumber party."

"But Dream's not a girl, so they're NOT invited!", Virginia argued.

"But Dream's not a boy either, so they ARE invited!", Georgia argued back.

"Is not!"

"Is too!"

"Is not!"

"Is too!"

"Not!"

"Too!"

"Not!"

"Too!"

"Not!"

"Too!"

"Not!"

"Too!"

"Not!"

"To-Not!"

"Too!"

"Ha, you said 'too'!"

Virginia the facepalmed.

"Alright, then, I guess we'll let Jamie decide," Virginia said, unamused. Then she turned to Jamie, and asked, "What do you think Jamie?"

"I don't know," Jamie responded, "I think it's going to be too much guests at my house, so I don't think there's enough room for one more."

[Well, I didn't know they were that important. Sorry.]

Dream watched the argument with increasing amusement. At the mention of there not being enough space, they burst out laughing. Oh, you beings have much to learn about me. I take up no space at all. But, if you would be more comfortable, I can explore and return to this place come morning.

"But what about food?", Jamie asked, "How much are going to eat?"

That was when I added, "Actually, believe it or not, these folks here has awesome abilities that can make food appear. They created food that was really similar to Leppa and Pecha Berries....what are they called again?...'Apples' and 'Peaches'?"

Dream made a basket of blackberries appear as example, and handed it to Jamie.

"I wonder what those are?", Jamie asked, staring at the blackish-looking-fruit out of curiosity. Then she took one of them, took a bite, and about a second later....

"Oh my gosh!", Jamie exclaimed, "This is just like Bluk Berries. They're so delicious!" Then she shared a few each with Virginia and Georgia. They each took a bite too, and then were so amazed and delighted at the flavor.

I took a few from Dream, ate some, and finally began to understand why the girls loved it so much. Those small, black, fruit thingies really do taste like Bluk Berries. In fact, they're like Bluk Berries, but I don't really see much stains on any of the girls' teeth.

"What do you call those things? They're so good!", Georgia asked ecstatically.

Blackberries.[b] Dream replied. [b]There are numerous types of fruit where I come from; indeed, as many types of food as you can imagine. They leaned closer. I can make all your dreams come true, if you wish. Literally.

"Really?!", Virginia asked excitably, "You would do that?!"

"Actually," Jamie said, "since you were nice enough to offer us these...um, delicious fruit, I think it's only fair that we invite you to our slumber party."

"You know what I would wish for?", Rose asked.

"Rose," I interrupted, "I know what you're going to wish for, but I'm not going to let you do that."

"Why not?!"

"Because, first of all, hardships build character. And, second and more importantly, if you really did wish for what you are thinking, then this roleplay wouldn't continue."

"Hmmmph," Rose pouted, "Fine."

Have you ever heard the phrase, 'be careful what you wish for?' Do you remember, Rose, any nightmares you have had? I could make them come true, if I wanted. But I do not. Dream smiled. Regardless, I accept your invitation. They turn to Dan. 'Hardships build character'...hmm. That is similar to 'what does not kill you makes you stronger', would you agree? I have many problems with that saying.

"Um, I guess I'll go, if you're sure it's all right." Ghost told Jamie, "I don't want to be any trouble."

She jumped as Nihilego snuck up behind her and tickled her with its tentacles. "Ah! Nihilego!" she laughed.

"Ni-Nihi-go!" Nihilego trilled, floating away.

"I'm going to get you for that!" cried Ghost, chasing after Nihilego. When she caught up to it, she jumped on it, covering it with tickles in return, and they both fell in a pile on the ground, laughing.

"Oh, no, no, it won't be any trouble at all," Jamie said, trying to reinsure Ghost, whom had a playfight with her Nihilego.

"Yeah, I had nightmares since Dan and his mom moved in with us. I mean I'm over it now, but..."

When I heard Rose say that, I shuddered. I do know what she's talking about, but I don't want to really talk about it.

But I just shook it off, and turned to Dream, saying, "Yes, it's quite similar to that saying."

Dream scoops up a bit of sand from the ground, then lets it trickle through their fingers. Ordinarily, I would have been aware of all your dreams and nightmares from the moment I encountered your group. But this is not my world. They turned back to Dan. In response to that saying, what about traumatic experiences? They spoke as if referring to personal events.

Okay, seriously, this is something I DEFINATELY don't want to talk about! Not only is it painful to think about, but it's also something that I don't want to talk about freely with other people and Pokémon I've just met.

I quickly glanced up at the sky. As I can see, the sun is already starting to sink into the trees. And then I looked at my watch. My watch says that it's almost 16:30 (4:30 pm), which is about time to go back to my place, and rest for the night before going out on an adventure.

"Okay," I said, "I think it's about time for me, Rose, and our Pokémon to head back to our house, and rest up for the night."

"Oh, yeah," Rose responded, "So I guess I'll see you all tomorrow? Jamie, Ghost, and I guess Dream is going to come along with us?"

"Definitely," Jamie said, then she yawned a bit, "Yeah, I think it's time to head back to my place, too. I think it's about time for our slumber party to start."

"Can I bring some movies?", Virginia asked, "I can bring the first three Harry Potter films, if you're interested."

"Why the first three?", Georgia asked.

"Because the other films are too dark and scary. Plus, we wouldn't be able to watch the entire series tonight."

"Oh, yeah. We don't want to ruin Jamie's big day tomorrow."

"Sure, you can bring them along," Jamie responded. Then she turned to Dream, and asked, "Do you know any good meals you can make us? I'll tell my mom that she'll hold off all the cooking since...well, you know."

[I didn't mean it like that...oh, never mind. Pretend Dream never said that. Still, it is an interesting thing to consider--do traumatic experiences make one stronger? But it doesn't matter. No worries, okay? Sorry.]

I can make Amrita tea, ultimate stew, tri-flavour ice cream cheesecake, and Divine Memory Pastry by hand. Dream replied. A dear friend taught me how. If you want more complicated dishes than that, I will manifest them instead.
