{001} dreams within dreams

[thankyoumrthief]

[Tonight you will find yourself in a place that somewhat resembles a forest clearing, along with the ruins of something that used to be a research facility. If you have been to the Unova region before, you might recognize it as the Dreamyard. But that's not the important part.

There's also a blond teenage girl in said Dreamyard, playing with a pink

[The first thing Whitlea realizes is that she's in the Dreamyard--but why would she dream about it? After all, it's been some time since she last visited Striaton City, and with it the Dreamyard.

Then she realizes, with a start, that no, this isn't her dream.

Because, while she's dreamt of Bianca before, she's never been so sure before that this is her childhood friend, in the flesh. Or something. Dreams are tricky.

So she does what she always does whenever they manage to find the time to meet up with each other: glomp her friend.]

[thankyoumrthief]

[Bianca doesn't know she's in a dream, but like anyone else who is not used to this nexus deal, she can't figure out she's in a dream unless she wakes up.

So her reaction is the same as it would have been in any other occasion: glomp her right back.]

Whitlea, hi! I didn't know you were here!

[whitleas]

Neither did I! I missed you!

[She doesn't really care if Bianca still doesn't know about the fact that this is only in a dream, all that matters is that it's Bianca, and she's missed her.]

[thankyoumrthief]

Me, too! [She replies earnestly, hugging her friend a little tighter, if possible. It's been really strange, not having her and Cheren around all the time like she used to, so she has to make up for that when they do get to meet.]

You need to drop by home more often, you know! And Chere, too!

[whitleas]

Yeah, I keep trying to make time, but something always happens before I can get there.

[But she's still glad.]

Don't worry, though, I'll find the time! I promise!

[thankyoumrthief]

Promise? [And here is Bianca, extending her arm and offering her pinkie for a pinkie promise.]

[whitleas]

Promise. [She extends her arm as well, hooking her own pinkie around Bianca's.] I promise I'll find the time to visit.

[thankyoumrthief]

[Bianca tugs at their linked pinkies once, giggling just a little. See, Cheren won't do this kind of silly thing with her.]

But come sit with us, come! I'm still waiting on Munny to wake up, so we can save our battle for later!

[whitleas]

[She just smiles--it's these silly things that she misses so much. Then she obediently sits beside Bianca.]

[thankyoumrthief]

So, tell me, tell me! What is it that has been keeping you so busy?

[whitleas]

Oh, the usual. You know how it is as Champion. [melodramatic sigh] I can't seem to find any time these days.

[thankyoumrthief]

You'll be totally fine, Whitlea! [Bianca gives a small giggle at that sigh.] If there's one person who can handle all that, it's definitely you!

[whitleas]

Oh, thanks, Bianca! How's it working out for you?

[thankyoumrthief]

I've been working as Professor Juniper's assistant, actually-- and she says I'm totally doing a good job! [Which is a great change from everyone ever looking down on her, really.]

[whitleas]

That's great. How's Professor Juniper doing?

[thankyoumrthief]

Running everywhere, like usual! It's a little hard to keep up with her sometimes... [What with Bianca being Bianca.] B-but I'm totally getting the hang of it!
