A voice of the familar person she always heard immediately rings on his mind. "Zecheng.." she softly whispered on the wind. Then from behind someone grab her hand and hugged her tightly. "Thank goodness your fine." He said in worried. When the guy pulled off from the hug Aubrey got shocked. Zecheng's face became blurr it's like something is blocking her vision to see him. The memories she have too with him blurred out too. "I can't remember your face." Aubrey cried touching Zecheng whole face. Zecheng hold Aubrey's shoulders and said "This is not the time to think of me as the problem. You should have left living the book in your room. Now you're in the process of disappearing from your reality." Aubrey immediately pulled herself together. "We told you to stop the ritual, why did you returned?"

"Miss Devial tricked me. Told me these bull stories, and I whose dumb fall for it."

Zecheng sighed feeling hopeless. Aubrey in the meanwhile look around and found out she was in a place with doors. "Where is these place?" She asked. "These is the village of Dreams Door, and the road were in leads to Devial's castle." Zecheng explained.

Aubrey realized something, and that is the village was confusing. There are doors but no walls nor a roof. A plain door like some kind of door Doreamon takes out when they want to teleport into some places. But the most confusing part was the doors are assembled like a labyrinth, and it would be difficult to identify which road leads to the castle.

Aubrey who was curious what was the purpose of the door approach one of it. And slowly opened the door. Zecheng who was too late to warn her widen his eyes and shouts "Doooonnntt!". And as the doors luck clicked Aubrey got suck inside the door.

As she was inside she tried to open and pulling it so hard. She heard Zecheng from the outside calling for his name.

"Aubrey listen... Calm down and think of a way how to scare what you feared most."

Aubrey who was slow, does not get what Zecheng means until she felt the place is weird. She turn around to saw what surrounds her, it was a group of hideous skeleton people having a tea party. It's similar to Alice in Wonderland's setting but in a creepy graveyard way.

"What is these place..." Aubrey whispered on the door to not let the bonnie

"What's the matter Aubrey?" Zecheng asked from the side. But Aubrey was silent and choose to focus on Zecheng's suggestion, to overcome fair and scare the skeletons away. Then she saw a lot of directions in everything. There was a an unlit candle on plate with a match and a note saying 'light me up'. From the other side she saw an electronic piano with note 'play me.' She then saw a white rose with a scissor like the others it also has nite saying "cut me." Then she realized she really was in an Alice's adventure but in a Halloween set up. So she closed her eyes and speak to her mimd. " A dream is a dream, everything can be controlled, everything shall be given. Just wake your mind and asked: I need a chocolate to grow."

As she opened her eyes she saw the chocolate on the table with note "for you to grow." It was very amazing and fun, but the problem was how to get it without being noticed by these sleeping X-ray men who just have their tea party. But she still decided to sneak and eat it. She's good at stealing cause that's the main reason why she was entangled with the dream drama she experienced. Little by little with a quick and quite movements she managed to arrived at the table. She was nervous when she was about to grasped the chocolate, she was having a clique feeling of being grab by a not sleeping bonie. And gave a goosebumps with it creepy looks, so she watched closing to the bones if any of them would move if she took it. But everything was quite, so with no hesitation she eat the chocolate to grow. She does not taste the chocolate, but who cares a giant person could scare anything by the way.

When Aubrey swallowed the chocolate, slowly with rage, the skeletons rise up and asked her for it. She was very confused why she was still on size, when she flip the paper she found out that she was once again tricked, because at the back was written,''trickOrTreat'. Then without realizing what could happen next, her face turned to red and smiled wildly.

Zecheng who was outside worrying Aubrey heard her scream. Although he knew it would be difficult to go out if he gets in he opened the door and was stunned by by what happened. Aubrey was having fun being thrown up on the sky the skeletons. While some other skeletons are preparing for her burial ceremony. When the bonnies feel his presence everyone look at his direction, the some skeletons rise from the grave and slowly forward towards him. He saw the candle, which Aubrey once saw, he immediately took it and light it up, the skeletons were frightened to go near him. Walking fiercely towards the drunk Aubrey, because of the strong expressions he showed the bones trembles retreat and some got dismantled. Other group of bones to whom Aubrey owed a chocolate were mad and put Aubrey on the prepared coffin before they run.

Aubrey on the other hand politely rest on a coffin like a person happy to live the earth. Inshort she acted like Snow White. Zecheng put the candle on his side and stare at the pretending dead lady. The drunk Aubrey seems to know that the person she's trying to fool was aware he was being fooled. So she gave him a hint saying "I can only be awaken by my princes kiss. Zecheng smirk but then two heart shaped roses met. Meanwhile, Aubrey realizing her request made her sober. But it was too late for her to avoid the joke she made. All she could do when Zecheng kissed her was to circle her eyes.

After Zecheng kissed her, he opened up something on her. "Aubrey I want to tell you something. These is not to hold you unto these world. It's just that I don't want to regret at the end." Aubrey who was finally sober replied, "You've fallen." Zecheng felt happy that Aubrey noticed his unconditional love towards her. But Aubrey has no expression to shown. Afterall she knew Zecheng's character was made to be the guy who he should be. And when Zecheng understand what was written on her face he cleared it and convince her to believe him.

"I know that you might think I loved you cause that's the character I was drafted for. Even I believe it once, your way too far from the type of girl I think of. Your stupid and clumsy, not pretty and grumpy, but you made me missed you. You make feel like a real living person. With the fun creative mind you made in every adventure we faced I feel like I'm a real man not fictional. When you got lost and we were freed by the dark inks chain. At first, I really was happy, but then I realized I miss your clumsiness that leads us to disaster. And the second time you lift, O thought we will never gonna met again. That's why, I am telling you this for me to have no regrets. I don't care if you won't regard me. I am fine with it as long as my heart will remain for you.
