The Dream Walker(2)

After minutes of explaining, Dr. Arnold couldn't help but to widen his eyes, feeling stun.

"He went through all that just to keep you safe and himself. I think that was very bold of him."

"Yes, but in the end he got psychologically scarred. He's alright for now, but the flashes in his head haven't stopped."

"They will go away eventually. He just needs time. That's all."

"So I want to ask you something."

"What is it?"

"Since you don't have any ill motivation, then why don't you take part in our foundation's research division on dream SCPs."

"Lali-ho! You are offering me a chance to share my research to your foundation as well. I don't know what to say." Arnold said, surprised by the offer.

"I think with your help we might get a better understanding of the dream world and the dream SCPs that live in this dream world. And with your ability it could benefit us greatly. So do you accept it?"

Amelia then brings her right hand out to shake which Arnold immediately shakes her hand without hesitation.

"I accept your offer! But will the higher ups accept me? Because I did destroy an SCP after all."

"I'll see what I can do but yeah I'm pretty sure, they will."

Arnold lets go of her hand, "Your parents must be proud of you, that you became a scientist. I mean I did become a oneirologist at the age of 23 and it's been 3 years of non-stop research, but patients became limited after the pandemic slowing my research to a crawl and then... Dr. Amelia?"

He looked at Dr. Amelia and noticed she was looking down and was in deep thought. 

"Earth to Dr. Amelia. Can you hear me?"

Amelia broke from her train of thought and looked at him, "Sorry I was thinking about something."

"Want to talk about it?"

"No."

"Look if it's troubling you, you can-"

He stops mid sentence when he sees Amelia give him an ice cold glare that can silence anybody. 

Amelia then sighs, "It was nice meeting you Arnold, but I need to go now."

"Ok, but if you need to leave this place, then you need to wake up. And also I'll let you remember this dream. Let's hope we meet again."

Amelia nods, then he snaps his fingers and she disappears. 

'There's something about her that she wants to hide from me, because judging by the glare she gave to me, it's something she wants to keep to herself.' Arnold thought while rubbing his chin.

(Infirmary, Psychiatrist Office, Site-19 - 11:22 PM)

Amelia immediately woke up, she stood up from the bed and looked to her left to see Rodeo, Evan and Green sitting on chairs, looking at her.

""Heyoooo."" Rodeo and Evan greeted.

Green immediately stood up and approached her, "You alright. You aren't hurt are you?"

"I'm fine, Agent Green. You don't have to worry about me."

"Well I'm glad to hear that."

"So did our dream Stand sayed anything useful?" Rodeo asked.

"Well..."

(One Explanation later)

"Well this is great for us and the foundation. We have a new ally plus the foundation gets more research data on the dream world, but do you think the O5 will agree after the stunt he pulled with 2571?"

"I'm not sure, but since he has more data on the dream world and has a better chance of encountering dream SCPs, the O5 Council might have to agree since it could be beneficial to us, since we don't have all the data, Rodeo." 

"True, so now we have five stands including me and Evan in foundation's eye's. I think things are shaping up a little."

"True, but we also wasted a good 22 minutes sitting here worrying for nothing for Green's girlfriend."

"I'm sorry, what?!"

"Oh shit! Gotta bounce, The World!"

*Pop!*

And like that, Evan just poofed out.

"Well that was idiotic." Rodeo said oddly.

"Yep." Green agrees.

"Did you three discuss something while I was asleep?" Amelia asked with a glare.

"Don't look at me, ask Green. I'll just slowly-" 

*Tap* *Tap* *Tap* *Tap*

Rodeo then quickly runs out of the room, doing literally the Joestar secret technique, leaving Green behind. 

"Traitors."

"Care to explain to me what happened, Agent Green?"

"Nothing, Evan just teased me regarding what you know about..."

"About what?"

"About being in love with you." Green said... without even changing his exppression when saying it. 

Amelia widen her eyes, "Oh! Green you know we aren't really-'

"I know Amelia, but we've been talking to each other ever since that incident with SCP-178."

"Yes, that memory is still fresh inside my head." She sighed, "I have no problem with being more than friends but there are just some things I can't do because of my... previous life before joining the foundation and multiple other reasons. And I don't even know much about your previous life as well." She said, looking down.

"I understand Amelia, and I respect your decision about not talking about your past... but how long do you plan on being like this. You know, hiding secrets?"

"Even your hiding secrets."

"And I totally agree with you."

"Then why don't you want to talk about it?"

"It's... complicated."

"Looks like we both don't want to share anything regarding our past."

Green chuckles, "Yep, seems like we aren't so different after all."

"You know Agent Green , ever since we met that day, and time kept passing I didn't show you how I felt because I was just too focused on myself to even think about it. And that day when you almost flatlined, it was the first time I felt something... fear."

"And you didn't even think about talking about it to me."

"I... no I was," She sighed once again, "Trying not to show myself and the others that I'm scared or weak."

"Amelia, it's ok to be scared, but trying to hide it won't help either. Sometimes you can't stick to one emotion forever."

"I know but... when you live in a world filled with monsters that can end the world instantly and have organizations go to war with each other and have shady people watching your back, you can't show your emotions or be too attached to others."

"I disagree with that statement."

"What do you mean?"

"If you really didn't want to show your emotions, you could have but ever since Rodeo came you've been more open and seem to care about him as a friend."

"What's your point?"

"The point I'm trying to make is no matter how much you show yourself to be cold hearted and rude. In the end of the day you do care about the ones you love, no matter how much you hide it from others."

Amelia stayed silent for a few minutes.

"It's getting late. I'll be in my office writing the report regarding Death 13 or should I say Dr. Arnold."

"Want me to help?"

"It's not a big report. I can handle it, but thanks for asking." Amelia was about to leave the room, but then looks at Green and gives a quick kiss on his right cheek. "Goodnight, Agent Green." 

Amelia quickly leaves the room, leaving a dumbfounded Green who was holding his right cheek with his left hand.

"Goodnight, Amelia." He said with a smile. 

Even in a world filled with monsters and cruel people, you can find friendship and love no matter what bad times come upon you or whatever rough past you may have. You will always find happiness in the darkest of times.

(Kamchatka Krai, Russia - 7:00 AM)

In the forest of Kamchatka Krai, a feminine figure was running away from a... bear?

"I'm sorry! I just found your baby cub cute and just petted his ears!! Why do you have to chase me?!" She yelled in comedic crying fashion while being chased by a massive ten meter size bear that can be known as the biggest, and thickest one that walks on the earth.

The figure kept on running till she saw a river and crossed it quickly, but the bear kept following her. The bear looked around and found nobody, so it just decided to give up and leave. 

Actually, the figure was on top of a tree and was holding on to it. When she sees the massive bear leave, she quickly climbs down and breathes a sigh of relief. 

"Oh thank God, that's over." She said before continuing to wander around the forest.

And with the sun's rays shining onto her, it reveals the figure to be known other than...

'Now how the hell do I get out of this forest?' She thought.
