Chapter 3: A Kid.

*Alarm sounds*

6AM

"It's... A dream."

-Yume: Adventure Inside A Man's Dream-

On my way to School...

"This is weird."

The environment, the feeling, everything! It felt like I really lived in my dream last night! I have to get over that bizarre moment or else I wont get to focus on our Report.

...

As the time went by, our Subject Teacher came to our room being the signal that the Report could begin any minute. Vlera and My report would start after the current group but because of my dream last night, I can't get to even take a look at Vlera.

"Hey, Marco, are you alright? You seem nervous."

"No, I'm okay. It's just..."

"C'mon, it's only me, tell it."

"Last night, I have this weird dream."

"Ahh, i see, a dream... It must've been a lewd dream ain't?"

"Huh? Of course not!"

"Heh! I know you, don't even hide it!"

"Alright, just to get things clear, I didn't got a lewd dream last night."

"Oh? And what is it I guess?"

"I don't know where to start but... You were there."

"Predicted. Then what happened."

"You... Saved me from a dragon."

"Pft. HAHAHAHA!!"

"Hey! Don't laugh, our Teacher might heard us!"

"Nah, we're on the vacant room so they wont hear us. I do have a dream last night as well."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yup, i did, and i also saw you."

"Really? What happened?"

"Mr. Clompus and Ms. Lurious, you may now start your report."

"It's our time for our report."

"But the dream-"

"Let's save that for later."

...

As we gave our best to present our report, we ended up on a smooth performance.

"I am Marco Clompus."

"And I'm Vlera Lurious."

"Here's our Report entitled, Emotion."

"Here's our Report entitled, Emotion."

Everyone gave their applause and the next group began to to perform their own report.

And before i knew it, it was after-school.

-

"Another busy day..."

"Hey! Marco!"

"Vlera?"

"Going around alone again?"

"It's not new, you know it."

"Yeah, it sucks to be you."

"You fucker."

As I gave a friendly punch to her, she exchanged it with an unfriendly punch in which she immediately changed the mood to,

"Anyways, you seem to have an interest to my dream so decided to take this time to tell you."

"Hm? Oh yeah, I almost forgot. What happened again."

That time, I was randomly expecting that she would match the dream i had last night, but this is what she said,

"As dreams become random every time. This time, it was us doing our report in a miserable way possible."

My hopes faded to realize that such a delusion won't happen, but that's what to expect now that we're in this Game called

Reality.

I joined her to take her ride and I sent my goodbye to her. Our house was so far from each other so we have to take our separate rides, but because she's the woman here, it's normal for me to join her until I ensure her safety.

After I took my ride, I gave a sigh of relief and got back to our house.

"I'm back."

"Welcome home, Marco. How was school?"

"Great, as always."

"There's dinner on the table, be sure to eat it."

"Yup, thanks."

After i ate my dinner, I immediately got inside my room to sleep.

—

"Testing, 3, 2, 1."

*BZZT!*

!

"(Where am i? Dark yet white room, beeping sounds and pain. Wait, isn't this is the scenario you would get when you're on a hospital?)"

Last time, I remember I was on my room after I ate my dinner, and now I'm on a hospital? Wait... Maybe the food I ate clogged up on my throat that made me unable to breathe? No, no, no, no, if that's the case, then how could the people in my house noticed me now that they don't even know what's the color of my pillow? This must've a dream again.

"... He's breathing normally now but his pulse is not quite well. Oh, look, he's awake."

In my long stare in the ceiling, I suddenly hear a familiar voice.

"Marco, I'm so sorry, I didn't noticed that monster earlier, I'm really sorry."

Wait, Hospital, Vlera and Monster??? What the fuck is this dream? If you want to give me this kind of dream, atleast give me a context!

"Uh... Vlera, I don't think he could hear you."

"Huh? Hey, can you hear me?"

Is she calling for me? Oh fuck, I gotta respond.

"N-no, I could... Hear you."

"Oh, thank the heavens."

"What... Happened? I can't remember."

"(Oh please, don't tell me he got amnesia.) Uhh, you see, you remember yourself being carried by me earlier, right?"

"I... Do."

"And the time we got slammed by the monster?"

"Oh... I remember now."

"Phew..."

Wait... Don't tell me my dream last night was continued?! Okay, this isn't normal, her lines was so cheerful but her tone I'm hearing was her serious voice, what the heck?

"So... Are you feeling good now?"

"Yeah, for a bit."

"You better prepare yourself since you'd be seeing my Teacher any minute."

"Your teacher?"

"I don't repeat my words."

After a few minutes, I started to get this cold feeling. A feeling, that could kill me once I do something wrong. As I see a shadow from the light of the candle, my nervousness arised even more. As a person came in the room, I know I just saw Vlera's Teacher, but wait...

"Where, is he?"

"You're wrong by two things. First, she's a female, second, she's right here."

After I look carefully at the door, I could guarantee that she's not here.

"I suppose you're underestimating my height."

Now that I can't see her anywhere, her voice that came out of my feet made me even more nervous.

"Let me take you, Teacher."

As Vlera grabs something in the feet of my bed, I saw a little child.

"How was your injuries, Marco. I heard you and Vlee got into an accident."

"... Huh? A kid?"
