so Hiiro wanted to go see the Valley of the cherry trees and it wasn't to far from the little town we were all at, we just had a break off the main road to get there, but come to find out that mean black vulture Urufu was stocking us!!
The jerk was trying to taunt my brother but Hiiro just keep spending it around on him, and he was getting really really mad! //Oh, you can dish it out but can't take it! * giggle*// Urufu got so mad he attack and grabbed my brother!! * flare a color of orange* oh no you didn't!! You hurt Hiiro before you big bully!! I tried to stop him but the mean jerk set himself on fire and burn my paws, Hiiro wasn't going to let him get away with it, he pulled out his sword and they had a duel, they were both pretty evenly match but Hiiro was done playing games and shifted to is true Dragon form and Wallop the black peacock into a tree!! * wave pom-poms* Go brother! Go brother! But then
Urufu voice got creepy sounding when he was talking and his eyes trun black with yellow slip, just like a Nightmare! *gasp in shock* see I knew he was bad guy!! Urufu show his true colors and shifted into the big black Nightmare Malice Just like Hiiro said!
He the one that being causing all the problems for us!! He the one who try to KILL MY BROTHERS!! I would go bit his nose! But Hiiro told me to say back how he fight the Nightmare so I did * rub hands nervously* //just be careful little brother...Last time you face him I thought I lost you forever...// So Hiiro and Malice was locked in combat and both seem to be hurting for injuries from their last battle, it was pretty intense but Hiiro made the bad guy take off! Hooray you did it brother!!

Meanwhile back at the town Fionna and Terra talked about going home to Howaito and how Terra and the other grew up there but he kept to himself most of the time, Terra didn't get into the mischief like his sister and Eira got into, and of course you guess right if you said Catch and Weaver were there getting into trouble along with them, believe me I had my hands full at times because who else was going to teach? * giggle* anyway Terra and Fiona we're trying to figure out what they were going to eat, that really seems to be a big problem in our group maybe we should start packing lunch or get the bucket KFC that can fill you up,
well unless if you're Hiiro not even a Chuck Wagon can fill him up! * burst into laughter* anyways Terra suggested that that makes something but you know how that go! KABOOM!!! * burst into laughter* so they decided on making something that didn't require fire or cooking instead like sub sandwiches, at first they didn't think they had any money but Fiona started to dig through her Cloud hair for some and found one coin, most girls carry purses nope not Fiona! * giggles* //I wonder what else is in that hair of her it's so big and fluffy!//
it still wasn't enough so Terra started digging through his backpack and pulled out his Library of books // with all those books on your back, one would think you have more meat on your bones! // * giggles*so with the little money they had they deciding not to make food and just bought subs sandwiches and have they're cooking lessons when we get home to Howaito, after talking a bit Fiona gave Terra a hug!! * flare color of pink* Eeek! They hug!!*squeal* I'm so happy my quiet book warm gots a girl!! * clear throat* anyways after that they decided it was getting pretty late they should meet up with the others back at the inn
But it's pretty obvious that Terra and Fiona like each other * flare color pink* // i never thought that boy would get a girl, but I'm glad he found someone to get him out of his little shell! //

Well that was going on Catch and Weaver were getting into all can of trouble! There were Racing to a food stand with me meat when Weaver threw the bell Catch stole on his first wild night, and my brother drop everything to go after it!! // honestly I was expecting him to start shouting my precious...// Weaver then shifted to his true form and made a Mad Dash to the food well Catch was distracted, * rub hands nervously* .... Weaver your light from your Lantern it's really dimly lit... //This isn't good... at this rate Waever doesn't have much time left...//
Catch wasn't distracted for long though and climb up to the rooftops to ambush Weaver for a surprise sneak attack while he was gloating about getting to the food first and Catch jump on his back!// good grief this is in a rodeo!//
Catch then knocked over some boxes on Weaver and took off to the meat and started eating not carrying about the chaos that they were making, //Catch get your feet off the counter!
seriously Do you two really need adult supervision at night?!// Weaver then join him and after they eat he suggested to play another game with Catch * rub hands nervously* Weaver...I don't like that look in your eyes... Weaver game was to see who can scare the people the most...That's not a good game guys! Weaver took off and Catch followed along! Oh my goodness! Bad Cat! And Weaver! stop! heel! sit down! You boys know better then that!! // Oh, No! They're stocking those people like... Just Like Nightmares...This isn't good! What am I going to do!! // Catch  pupils glow red and he wasn't acting like his goofy giggly self the more the people were scared...* whimper* //little brother this isn't like you... Could it be the Nightmare in your head doing this? But you said he wasn't in control? What going on?! I'm worried about you!// Weaver grab the Dreamer girl and that look he had... He wouldn't really kill someone would he?..He wouldn't! Weaver stronger than that! He has to be...//...But he passed the point of no return...The Nightmare is eating him and...And there nothing Glory could do for him now...Poor Glory...She losing him...We all are losing him...I don't want to think about this no more! I don't want to lose anyone! Not Catch, or Hiiro, Weaver and Eira, Terra and Purity or Fiona and Crystal, Mina and Whisper and his sister and even the weird little kid Boo I don't want to lose my pod...My family// * sniffle* unlike Weaver Catch just ended up scaring the lady and stealing her purse!! what is it with you stealing stuff!! And a woman's purse of all things Shame on you Cat! * put hands on hips* Weaver manage to come to senses before doing something he regret and got Catch to help get him back to the inn //he doesn't look to good...How much time goes he have left? Glory said A week, and it's been a few days but I thought we have more time...//

Meanwhile Crystal was just minding her own business window shopping in town when that red Prince yells a lot shows up!! Where did he come from?!! I thought Hiiro got rid of him for good for kidnapping and hurting Mina! // hang on another creepy stalker?! Seriously we need like spray or something that keep creeps away!// And guess what he started to do....If you guess yelling you were right! But Chatterbox Crystal hit him good with some truth and he did not like that one bit! * burst into laughter*
He pulled out Zitan key and started to wave it around like it was his! You stole that from my brother you rotten Thief!!
// for so-called Prince you act like a spoiled rotten brat! And The only thing you deserve is a boot the rear!// He got so mad at Crystal that he almost hit her but he stop just before he did // he was going to hit another girl that jerk has no Shane! But why did he stop this time?... Maybe Hiiro kicked his butt more than he thought?// Crystal gave her last words before walking away from Prince bad temper and surprisingly he let her go... what an odd cranky guy

Well Purity, Eira and Boo after eating went clothes shopping // leave it to those girls // *giggle* Purity got lost in the store again and Eira ditched her again * burst into laughter* not sure which one needs to keep an eye on the other! Anyways me and Hiiro was on are way back to town to look for everyone, I was trying to call them by playing drums on Hiiro goggles and it must have worked because he spotted Eira and pick her up and threw it on his shoulder! * burst into laughter* you should have seen her face!! It was hilarious! Eira was not happy at all! //It's not like he tried to eat you or something!...Oh... Yeah...I forgot he did try... Well it was just one time! You might have just smelled really bad like Catch did when Hiiro had him in his mouth no harm done just use lots of soap!// As we where going a long Whisper and Lasani show up and try to convince Hiiro to put Eira down, but we are on an important mission we're collecting all the winches!! //Someone has to get the group together! Seriously it's super late and it's bed time!// We spotted and grabbed Purity her face was just as hilarious * burst into laughter* somebody had to get you away from shopping! Boo followed along not even sure what was going but she keep up pretty good...Well until Hiiro tripped just in the doorway of the inn * giggle* I had to hold on or I would have been tossed like the other girls, and Boo land on top of Hiiro! * giggle* Purity and Eira had their fill of crazy events and headed off to the girls dorm room they didn't even say goodnight to use how rude! * put hands on hips* oh well! Anyways Boo ask Hiiro what a wench was and he told her that's what she is! * burst into laughter* // it's true that a girl but I have a funny feeling Hiiro going to teacher a few other new words! Little kids are so funny!// It was getting pretty let so the three of us headed off to bed, Weaver was sleeping but no Catch and Terra? // where did those two at?//
Hiiro tucked in Boo in her bed and and I settle down for the night to // it is a good thing Boo a heavy sleeper because how much Hiiro and Weaver snore it could wake the Dead!// * giggle*

While me Hiiro and Boo were still in the entrance of the inn Catch help Weaver through a window and got him into bed //poor guy... Just past out...// Catch seem to have calm down for his craziness, but he was afraid of going to sleep in that room...So he when over to the girls dorm and even broke the door handle to get in to see Eira, Catch! That's the girls room you just don't break doors and go in!! He was acting like a little kid afraid of the dark or having nightmares...
// I wonder if it was because last time Weaver somehow was in his dream...And that Nightmare was there to...It must have been pretty scary for him...Poor little brother...// Eira was face was bright red as she try to tell Catch to get back to the boys room but he just kept asking if he could stay because he didn't want to see the Nightmare again and he sleep on the floor, Eira must've realized he was afraid of Cataclysm so she let him stay and throw him a pillow on the floor which he happily accepted after kicking off his boots and pop down on the floor to sleep as he purred // good grief little brother you're acting like you're 6 again...You did have some pretty bad dreams when you were little to... I never thought about it before but we're they something to do with your blood to?//

Also Fionna and Terra finally made it to the inn just in time for me Hiiro, and Boo head off the bed, Terra quickly shifted back to his true Dreamer form * giggle* // he so embarrassed of how his human form looks!// But he noticed his partner Sparks was asleep in Fiona's cloudy proof of hair and like she said it's dangerous sleep there, seriously it's like the Mary Poppins bag of hair, I'm surprised he didn't gets swallowed by it or get poked by something like that Arrow! * burst into laughter*so they said their goodnight and went to their own rooms, * whisper* but they are totally a thing!! We Fairfin know when are partner has a Crush! // But it's pretty obvious to anyone!// * giggle*

Well this is happening, Mina was some crazy adventure with a strange hyper guy with silver hair and black wings! // He looks like something similar to Catch? But not? Is he a silver blood to?// whoever he is he likes to talk a lot and flirt, mysterious shiny guy open the portal and took Mina to the Golden Sun desert //at least it's still in the land of Dreams, and not some random crazy place like Forbacoor or something...// anyways he told her about Soledormir! Wait what! He knows about that guy?! Just who is this guy! And just who is Soledormir!! //Seriously! It's about time we get some answers!// anyways he told her about Soledormir always having 4 generals or Warriors or something like that, and one of them trun on him and Soledormir was going to get his Revenge on DreamMaker for convincing that one guy to trun on him, and he said something about Soledormir really hating humans? // He just sounds like he hates everyone to me! // shiny guy didn't finish his story though //I think he a little ADHD if you ask me...// Mina ask him his name but he didn't tell her instead he told her to call him what ever she like, so she called him Joe!! * burst into laughter* well it could been something weird. But anyways Joe took Mina to a fancy restaurant to eat and they talk some more, Joe was making some unusual comments about Mina having the power over man's hearts but she didn't believe him... // Poor Mina must had a hard childhood, and it doesn't seem to have gotten any easier for her ether...But what does that mean she has the power of the heart? I don't know?! Don't ask me! I'm just learning this stuff as we go to!// After eating Mina offer to pay but Joe wouldn't let her and he pay for it all // it's kinda funny if you think about it, here the only one in the group with actual money and don't have to big and scrape and she didn't even get a chance to use it, Joe pay the bill? // After that he took her to a store to get some supplies but I'm not sure after that but she has a knife so I'm sure she be fine!
// but what's with you attracting all these strange guys for? First it's Urufu that just so happens to be Malice!! Who's a jerk! Thin Prince of shouting Crimson who is also a jerk! And now this guy! Joe who won't even tell you his name! He might seem friendly but I smell a jerk! Just be careful Mina!//

(time skip...)

So this is what woke me up in the morning!, there was a lot of noise coming from the girls dorm room and it sounds like Catch voice?! He kept apologizing about been there and about acting like a child * giggle* // oh, poor little brother, well it seems like you're back to being you again at least!// He was so embarrassed and panicked been in the girls dorm room that he tripped over his own boots on the floor trying to get out of there! * burst into laughter* //oh poor Cat what am I going to do with you? // It's a good thing he did though or he would have probably forgot them the way he bolted out of there! He didn't even said good morning to me, Hiiro Weaver or Terra...Boo wasn't even phased when Catch ran through face redder than a ripe tomato he just when out the window,* giggle* well with everyone unusual wake up call, most of us got something to eat and then went shopping for supplies for a journey for Howaito everyone kind of just did there own thing, but their was some very interesting gossip going around town, like everyday stuff and the Festival coming up in Howaito,
some was Nightmares attacked people and vandalized some stuff last night...// Oh, boy...No Wonder Weaver was so quiet, and well Catch can't really walk around town the way he looks but still he kept a good distance away from everyone...//
some more gossip was some Travelers coming from the Valley of the cherry trees to the town and look like some kind of fight went on //your telling me! That place should be marked as here is where my brother kicked Malice butt! // there's even people talking about seeing things in the shadows and hearing Whispers...Yeah I think we should go now...
So after that we start on are journey home to Howaito, we took the main road even though I really really want to go through the Valley, but its quicker to bypass it * mischievious giggle* It's a Good thing there's over a hundred thousand acres of cherry trees // I might be over exaggerating a little bit but not by much... Just a little..But it still be easy to get off track and do a little sightseeing.//
Anyways it was the same-o same-o like we usually do, we finally decided to make camp to rest from our travels well there still some light in the sky.

So there you have it! Urufu is Malice! Fiona hug Terra,. Purity got lost in a store again, Whisper and Lasani lean that a dragon shapeshifter can carry people on their shoulder, Weaver sick of himself, Crimson learn you should never pick a verbal fight with a quiet girl, Hiiro taught Boo a new word, Catch broke into the girls room to sleep on the floor, and Eira has to babysit, Mina going to purchase some creep away spray,so there you go now most everyone got on the road and now making camp I'm sure it's going to be a fun time! I just hope someone bought stuff to make s'mores! Because I have a feeling it's going to be a killer night!

(OK that's all )
