Stolen and Rei, you're the only ones who haven't said if you want to make up a dream or not. Ya'll probably don't want me to make up a dream; we'll end up somewhere bwtween Timbukto and the Sahara Desert. I go a little crazy with dreams...

This was becoming too much. I had clothes, then I lost them. I got more clothes, and I just left them at a shadow infested mansion. It was insanity! I picked out room 189, far away from everyone else, and decided to explore the ship. As I headed out of the room I ran into Spencer.

"Uhh... hey..." he said, surprised.

"What are you doing here?" I asked. My room was at one end of a huge hall, everyone else's at the other end. Don't ask me how it happened that they were almost all clumped together.

"I was just... I mean..."

I rolled my eyes and started to walk past him, but he caught my arm.

"What'dyou want?" I asked, my eyebrows furrowing.

"I just wanted to ask you..." he immediatly let go of my arm. "If you..."

"Well?"

"Uh, nevermind," he said, rushing off. Guys are so weird. I shook my head and headed back into my room to take a look at my camera. I had decided to try wedding photography, since still shots and normal cameras were my specialty. Might have to wear... pink, though. Well, desperate times called for desperate measures.

Spencer

Spencer headed back to his room. He contemplated going to see Cadence. But that would just turn into more fighting. He slumped down on his bed. She didn't like him ... that wasn't right ... he knew it wasn't right. She had just been acting, hadn't she ...?

Spencer massaged his temples. Cadence was right. This was turning out to be too much. They should go home ... but somehow, he just couldn't bring himself to do it. He needed to stay here. He needed to. But what he wanted was different thatn Cadence's wants. She wanted something logical: Going home to a safe place. He wanted something stupid: Staying in a place full of danger.

When did the twins switch roles?
- - -
That's all I've got, really.

I laid down on my bed exhausted.
Dang...killing shadows really was tiring.
I looked around the small but cozy room.
It has a queen sized bed, and a side table next to it. On top of it was a nice dull white lamp.
When was all of this going to be over with?
I didn't want to get attached with anyone here, but it was so hard if those people were the only humans you knew at the present.
I wanted to go back to my home...my real home.
If I got attached I wouldn't want to go back.
I sighed.
Life is just so stupid.

Okay, since no one made a dream, I guess I’m going to have to.

That was one of ya’ll’s biggest mistakes, letting me make the dream…

*Laughs evilly*

“Wow, short nap,” Joseph said, Gary having called them into his room. “Did ya find anything out?”

“Yeah,” Gary started slowly. Uh oh. “The shadows… are going to start taking over the rulers slash leaders of the world.”

“Are you serious?” Julie asked nervously. Gary nodded.

“What should we do?” Joseph asked.

“I dunno,” Gary said. “If they take over the leaders, they’ll take over the world, in a sense.”

“Then we have to A: protect the leaders, or B: stop the shadows before they get a chance,” Kelly spoke up. There was silence.

“Got a plan C?” Julie asked with a grin on her face.

“We sit here, do nothing, and die,” Kelly said. “C’mon, let’s tell everyone else.”

********************

Yeah, I know it sounds really scripted, but I didn’t know what else to do. Weeee!!!

**********[ADDED]************

-RAVEN-

"Laura... Laura... Listen to us, Laura... We want to help you... Laura..."

The voices...

I lay on my bed in the fetal position, hugging my knees and rocking slightly. No one had called me Laura in seven years, and thank goodness for that. I [s]hated[/s] was terrified of the name. It was my birthname.

"Laura..."

"Leave me alone," I whimpered, closing my eyes shut tightly. "Leave me alone!"

"Laura... Listen to us... We'll help you..."

"I don't need any help," I muttered through clenched teeth. "Just go away, please!"

"But you do need help..."

Suddenly, I couldn't breath. I gasped for breath, but it was like I was in space. It felt like there was no air.

My eyes shot open.

I could breath.

I was alone.

Whatever they were, they were gone.

I heard a knock on my door, and, slowly, went up to answer it.

****************

This might be,
A) One of the people who heard Gary's dream.
B) Spencer (oh, the drama if this is it)
C) Some random person.

*rolls eyes*

Yaaaaaayyyy Stolen! :]

1,621.
That.is.just.plain.scary.
What do you live on here?!
Gosh....xD

PLEASE, PEOPLE, ON THE DISCUSSION THREAD!

Julie♥

I looked at Kelly.
She was right.
"Not plan C for sure." I said.
Kelly nodded her head.
"So then what?" I asked.
"There's only like what? 8 of us." I said.
I looked at the kids around me, and decided to say what they all knew, but were too afraid to say.
"We can't do this. Just 8 of us? I don't think we are strong enough. We can try. But we'll die trying..for sure." I said.
Everyone was silent.
Some looked shocked.
I ignored them, and walked away into my room.
I laid down on the bed and closed my eyes.
The words "die trying" ecohing in the far corner of my brain.

Gary~~

"As hopeless as it seems we have to. I'll get us to the white house. We can get to the president then from there he can alert the others to be safe," I said.

"How are you going to...wait rich step daddy right," Kelly asked.

"Yep," I said and whipped out my phone. It began to ring then a voice came in.

"Hello, this is Gary," I told him.

"So its true you are alive, are you well," My step dad asked.

"Yeah fine. But I need a favor. See I was saved by a major history buff group, I told them you had some connections and could get us into the oval office to meet the president. Could you?" I asked.

"Of course, its the least I could do for them after saving you. Just be there and give them my name." He said.

"Thanks, bye," I told him and hung up.

"We are in, so the course is the same. We get to the plane then ride to Washington instead. Or we go to New york first. Kelly do you think we really need to talk to the dude."

I have the chicken pox! *Break dances* So I'll be on pretty much all day! Woohoo!

-KELLY-

"Yes, we do," I said firmly, probably more firmly than I had ever spoken. "I think-- I know he can help us. He's a professor in paranoia-ology-thing or whatever it's called. I mean, we can chat with the prez first, but the sooner we get to this guy, the better. But... where the heck did history buff group come from?? Even I hate history! And I like every subject! Well, except history."

Julie C:

This was majorly insanity.
Ughhh!!!!
I heard a knock on my door.
It was Joseph.
"Hey." he said.
"Hi." I said.
"Um..we're planning on going to D.C. to meet the president. Then to some dude that might help us." he said.
"Yeah like that'll help." I said rolling my eyes.
"C'mon. You can't give up. We killed all those shadows. We can try unleast." He said.
"We got lucky that time." I said.
"Yeah..but." He began to say.
"But what? This is just stupid. We're all going to die anyways." I said.

-JOSEPH-

"C'mon, Julie," Joseph said taking Julies hand in his. "We aren't going to die-- well, okay, we all're going to die, but hopefully not pre-maturely. You can't give up."

"Why not? It's just a big, fat lost cause."

"Because, don't you want to get even with the shadows? I'm sure they did something to you, something that hit home. I'm helping you guys because I want to end the frikin' shadows so that they can't hurt someone else like they hurt me. Do you want someone else, some innocent kid, or someone who has only one friend, to feel the loss of everyone who's mattered in their life dissapear?" Joseph paused a moment as he realized something. "That's how they're taking over. It's a two-way win, Julie. If they don't take you, your friends will be miserable and not even try to fight back. You can't let that happen, Julie! You can't let them take you physically, or mentally. Please, Julie. Don't give up."

Joseph stood there in silence as he let Julie take it all in.
