Nightmare - A DreamZzz Fanstory

The dream avatar

Here is part... 5? No 6! Have fun!!

Mateo watched Logan jump over the hurdles with ease. He even rolled when he landed and made crazy stunts while jumping. Now it was his time. Mateo looked over to the benches where Megan was sitting next to his backpack. He looked at the hurdles and began running towards them. "Go broseph! Soar like an eagle!" Izzie yelled in joy. But on the first hurdle Mateo's foot got stuck and he fell to the ground like a full sack of sand. Logan and another student were laughing at him. "That was less eagle and more penguin." Izzie said, worried. "Mateo, stop goofing off! Everyone is trying to practise here." 

The coach yelled at him from the shadow of one of the tables' sunshades. "Auch... My everything hurts..." Mateo said while petting his head and standing up. "I mean that was a little better?" Cooper then tried to encourage him just to be cut off by the student that was laughing before. "That was better?! How could he have done any worse?!" he said while laughing and Izzie explained "Last time he got his shoelaces stuck in the starting blocks..." "You sure you don't wanna join my team?" the student asked Logan, who just smiled and replied with "You know what? I'm a wolf now!" while looking at Mateo and his friends. "Common Dallas." were his last words before he turned. Suddenly he jumped in fear while screaming a little. "Gosh, Megan!" Then they left. "Megan... You sure scared him." Mateo said while laughing a little. "I am veeerrryyy excited for tonight..." Izzie then whispered to Cooper referring to the situation with Logan.

"I can feel you being grumpy from all the way over here." Izzie told Mateo, who was just getting into his bed. "I'm not grumpy." he said just for Izzie to say "Uh huh. You've got your grumpy pillow." Mateo began squeezing the pillow as hard as he could. "You always squeeze that thing half to death when you're upset." she noted just to get a furious look from Mateo, who punched the pillow and then turned around so that he was laying with his back to Izzie. "Whatever. If Logan hadn't decided to bail on the team, I'd be totally happy that he's better than me at every striking event in that stupid contest." Mateo truly was angry and that made Izzie sad. 

She looked down at her plushy and then asked him "You want BunChu Bunny? He always makes me feel better!" She tried so hard to make him smile but all he said was "I said I'm fine." and then he turned around again. "You better be. Tonight we go find the Sandman! Don't want you pouting all the way there." she said, closed her manga and turned the lights off. Mateo gave himself one last look on his phone to see if Megan had texted him, turned around towards Z-Blob and squeezed him half to death. Then he also fell asleep.

Mateo woke on the landing and was immediately scared by someone who was sitting on his bed. She had purple pink fluffy hair, a yellow coat and cyan trousers, combined with violet accessories such as shoulder plates. "Relax! It's me." Izzie comforted him. "Where'd you get that outfit?" Mateo asked, confused. "I decided to pull out all the stops! Show this Dreamworld who I really am!" she explained to her brother. "You mean we can change our style?" Mateo asked with a combination of excitement and confusion. Logan and Cooper then came running to her. 

"Wow... Did you dreamcraft your own Dreamworld avatar?" Cooper asked her, impressed. "Sure did!" she just replied and made Cooper begin asking questions like a storm. "How did you do it? What do I do? Are there instructions? Walk me through it!" "Just do it." Izzie said while laughing. Cooper began to concentrate. "Here we go." he said and the magic glowing sand began to form around his hands. He took a deep breath just to stop and say "I can't just do it." "Let me try." Logan then said. He concentrated and made a very funny face. It looked like he wanted to force the avatar to come out of him... Or as if he had to go to the toilet... Who knows... The only thing that happened was that he turned blue. And not only the face, no, the entire body. 

"That's a great colour on you." Izzie told him while giggling. Mateo started to laugh too which made Logan angry so he yelled at him "Oh, you try it then!" but Mateo didn't want to... "I don't know... I'm not sure I want to try in front of everybody." he told them but Izzie had to say something to her brother. "Come on. Don't overthink it!" "You know what? You're right. No time like the present." Mateo replied to her, got out his hourglass and concentrated on his dream look. Many different ideas flashed in front of his eyes. While doing that he didn't realise that he was sort of dancing while forming his idea. "So. How do I look?" he asked as soon as he was done. He had a green cape now, a belt with pockets, two green strands of hair and over his left eye was a shade of green now. The left eye was green as well and on his chest was a big belt with a big hourglass on it. 

"Nice! Want me to add some glitter??" Izzie said with big eyes. "Come on! I wanna do one. Let me just borrow yours." Logan said, angrily and was just about to grab Izzie's hourglass when the majestic plane of Mr. Oz arrived. "Yeah, I wouldn't do that." he said over his microphone. "Aw Mr. Oz... That buzzkill." Logan said, while the plane was landing. "Using an hourglass when you didn't make it through the DreamForge can lead to some pretty heavy results. You're just as likely to turn yourself into a pretzel or something." Mr. Oz explained to them while flying down with his rocket boots. "Whatever." Logan said and threw the hourglass back to Izzie. "Costumes are just glorified PJ's anyways." "Ooh, you know what this outfit needs?" Izzie walked up to Mr. Oz and continued "A real live unicorn!" "Hey, hey, he-hey. Slow your roll there, Isabel. You only got so much sand each night. You can't waste it fooling around. Especially not now. We have a very important mission.
