The Dream from the Night's Past

Magic Boutique

Dreams from 24 April 2021

In a magical world nestled within a bustling shopping district, there existed a peculiar shop with an owner who possessed the extraordinary ability to read minds. The shop primarily specialized in hair products and had a tendency to undergo frequent layout changes. Among the shop's diverse clientele, one celebrity guest stood out—a frequent customer who would discreetly visit, concealing her true identity behind a veil of anonymity. The shop owner, driven by years of friendship and a genuine care for all customers, treated each individual with equal attention and dedication, regardless of their status. The owner harbored a dream to one day promote their shop, but their unbiased nature prevented them from favoring any particular customer.

One fateful day, the celebrity customer was asked why she hadn't experimented with a different hair color and had instead visited another hair salon. To her surprise, the new salon failed to recreate the magic she experienced at the owner's shop. Thus, she found herself compelled to promote the other salon. However, the celebrity swiftly returned to the owner's shop, eager to change her hair color to a vibrant shade of blue. Despite her reservation about the blue color offered at the shop, the owner, having read her true desires, asked for her specific preferences or preferred shade of blue.

When the dyeing process was complete, the celebrity was stunned to see the final result, which aligned perfectly with the vision she had in mind. She found herself genuinely pleased with the outcome and expressed her desire to promote the shop. Yet, the owner humbly declined, preferring to keep their business low-key despite its success over the years. As time went on, more and more people discovered the owner's shop, even without explicit promotion. Word spread, reaching the ears of the celebrity's fans. Unfortunately, some unscrupulous businesspeople attempted to profit from the owner's products by stealing them and falsely associating them with the celebrity's name.

Thankfully, the owner managed to apprehend the thieves and confronted them, questioning the accuracy of their claim regarding the celebrity's preference for blue dye. The owner called the celebrity to testify and expose the false information that had been circulating. As a resolution, the owner demanded compensation equal to the value of the stolen goods and warned the culprits of potential legal consequences if they failed to comply.

Grateful for the owner's intervention, the celebrity expressed her gratitude, recognizing the owner's loyalty and integrity.

Within the ever-changing layout of the shop, a unique ritual unfolded daily. The shop closed its doors, and four friends gathered at a central point, each wielding a wand infused with different colors—orange, red, pink, and green. Together, they used these wands as keys to lock the shop. Embarking on their adventure, they had enlisted the help of a talkative individual for a specific task. However, the owner sternly scolded the person, demanding they remain quiet. Unfortunately, complications arose, prompting the group to transform into a combined machine vehicle, a common occurrence in their world. With the talkative individual unintentionally accompanying them, they sped off to a secluded location.

Upon arrival, three of the friends transformed into robots, while the remaining member ventured out to confront a formidable monster. After a fierce battle, she returned to the robot formation, only to discover that their system was malfunctioning. In a moment of inspiration, she invited the talkative individual to join them, integrating him as the new White Ranger. During the ensuing fight, the owner inadvertently struck her head, triggering a glimpse into her past. In a rapid succession of images, she recalled her role as the inventor of the robots and the unfortunate mistake that led to widespread animosity towards her. The trauma from that painful chapter in her life lingered, but it also served as a catalyst for her decision to grant the robots distinct personalities.

With this newfound revelation, she realized that the robots could be more than mere machines. Each one could possess unique traits, quirks, and emotions, just like humans. It was a chance to rectify her past mistakes and demonstrate the true potential of her inventions. As the battle raged on, the robots showcased their individuality. They fought with unwavering courage and determination, working together as a formidable team. The new addition, the White Ranger, proved to be a vital asset, bringing his own set of skills and abilities to the group.

In the midst of the chaos, the owner's mind-reading ability kicked in, allowing her to discern the thoughts and intentions of their enemies. This invaluable insight enabled the team to anticipate and counter their opponents' moves with precision. As the dust settled and victory was secured, the owner and her friends returned to their human forms, their bodies exhausted but their spirits elated. The experience reinforced the bond between them, solidifying their trust and unity.

Reflecting on the past and the challenges they had overcome together, the owner vowed to continue improving the robots' capabilities and expanding their potential. Their journey was far from over, and they understood the responsibility that came with their powers. With each passing day, the owner's shop in the magical world continued to thrive. People from all walks of life were drawn to the unique experience it offered, not only for the exceptional hair products but also for the enchanting atmosphere and the genuine care provided by the owner and her team.

The shop became a sanctuary for those seeking a respite from the mundane, a place where individuality was celebrated, and dreams could come to life through vibrant hair transformations. The owner's unwavering dedication and her ability to understand her customers' deepest desires cemented her reputation as one of the most sought-after hairstylists in the magical realm. And so, the owner's journey of discovery, redemption, and creativity continued, with each customer that walked through the doors of her shop representing a new opportunity to make a difference and bring joy to their lives through the power of hair transformations and genuine connections.
