Dream Raiders: The Jade Guardian

"Lucille Smalls, 5."

"This should be easy, little girls like rainbows and unicorns right?" I asked Lily.

"Sure?" Lily replied.

You never know what you're going to find in a dream, especially a little girl with a lot of imagination.

Lily and I walked to the headquarters. Lily ran to the front desk as the doors opened. She grabbed her black bodysuit and turned to me, a big smile planted on her face.

"I'm so excited!" She exclaimed. I smiled at her as I grabbed my suit.

Lily and I had changed into our suits and slipped our hair into ponytails. I studied my newly dyed tips, a bright blue color. Lily had made a bet with me, which I lost, to permanently dye my hair. Lily thought I looked cool, so she decided to dye her tips a pink.

I walked out of the bathroom as Lily pretended she was a model in front of the mirror.

I walked out and someone slammed into me, dropping everything they were holding.

"Sorry!" He exclaimed.

"It's fine." I growled.

I got on the floor and helped pick up everything.

"Jordan?" He said.

I looked up, revealing that it was Sam, my ex- boyfriend. I jumped up, and walked away quickly.

-1 year ago-

A 14-year-old had been having a dangerous dream, and since Lily was sick, I tagged along with my boyfriend, Sam. We faced an evil troll, it sounds strange, but they are actually extremely dangerous at times. I got captured by the filthy beast and I waited for Sam. The troll explained to me how he has had a craving to kill, so I would be his first victim. I waited for Sam, but he never came and the clock continued ticking. I realized that Sam wasn't going to save me, he was going to save himself. I panicked. Dying in a dream meant you died in real life. Luckily the troll's daughter, who hated her father and wanted to live a normal life, helped me escape back to the real world.

Once I got back, Sam and I argued. We broke up, and I promised myself to never date again... And trust me, that won't change.

-Present day-

I lounged across a bench waiting for Lily. When she finally came out she pushed my legs aside and plopped down next to me. She pulled out her communicator and started to play one of the few games on it.

"I can't wait to see Marbles." She said, still focusing on her game.

I perked up at this, I loved our little fox Marbles. Every Dream Raider partnership got to choose from a selection of pets to help in dreams. The cool thing is that the animal can only communicate with the partnership and the animal's own kind. When Lily and I were able to chose a pet, we agreed easily on a fox, I said because of the great hunting skills they posses, and Lily said that they were a very intelligent species, then she casually added the fact that they were freaking adorable.

Personally, I feel like Lily may be a bit immature for an 18 year old, but she has been my best friend since we were 10. She can seem not so smart at times, but she is, and you have to be in order to be a Dream Raider. Honestly, everyone who works with Dream Raiders is extremely intelligent.

Lily screamed in frustration and slammed her communicator down on the floor, shattering it. Lily sighed and began repairing it for the fourth time.

"Oh, I see you've won again." I said sarcastically.

Lily shot me her famous death glare.

"No, I feel like crushing someone's bones right now, to be honest with you." She hissed.

I wasn't surprised about this moment of toughness from Lily. With every enemy we fight, it seems like she is a completely different person, due to her competitive personality... And in this case, the video game was her enemy. I think it's her 'Game mode'.

"That's cool." I said with a shrug.

I grabbed my headphones from my Dream Raider specially designed bag and slipped them on. I began to listen to Panic! At the Disco.

Every Dream Raider bag is specially designed with the code name for everyone. We got to chose our own code names... And mine was Supergirl, so my bag's main theme is blues, yellows, and reds. While Lily's code name was Batgirl, her bag's theme being black and yellow. She pulled out her Captain America comic book and read.

As I listened to music I drifted off to sleep, I was always in the mood to sleep so any time anywhere I will sleep.

It only seemed like a few minutes before I was shaken awake.

Oh I'm gonna kill them for interrupting my dream.

I open my eyes and see Lily standing in front of me, we were sitting on the bench outside the pod, she's holding my orange beats which are blasting music.(Thanks to bad hearing from a mission)

"What?" I say trying not to sound harsh.

"Well beauty queen, you have been napping for 45 minutes and now we have to go." She snapped.

I rolled my eyes. "God Lily, You shouldn't interrupt my dreams... Especially if it's a good one. I was on a world tour with Fall Out Boy and Panic! At the Disco."

She crossed her arms and gave me her signature glare. "Sit up. We have to go." She growled at me.

"Geez, fine." I said as I lifted myself from the bench.

I stretched as I walked. Lily's eyes grew huge when she saw Lucas holding the pod door open for us.

"Hello ladies." He said politely.

"Sup." I said casually.

"Hi Lucas." Lily barely managed, her voice a whisper.

Lily has a crush on everyone she meets, and I mean everyone, but for some reason Lucas is her big one. She has fallen head-over-heels for him, and he is the Captain's apprentice.

Lucas smiled at her, knowing she adores him.

I climbed into the pod as Lily found the courage to start a conversation with Lucas. A few minutes later she jumped in the pod.

"Here we go..." She said as she beamed at me.

"Yeah... Here we go..." I mumbled.

I flipped some switches and pushed some buttons then finally, Lily squeezed her eyes shut as I laughed.

I slammed my hand on the big green button, my favorite part.

We start to go faster and faster with each second until we're going full speed, I love dream jumping.
