I woke up in the tent again. It felt so real, was it a dream all along? I got up and listened closely to behind the flap of the tent when I heard whispering.
???: why would you bring her here?! As if we have enough troubles already!
The boy: I'm sorry, but I couldn't just leave her! What would happen if our town lost there one symbol of hope? Then what?!
???: then we'd find another way.
The boy: ...
I heard footsteps that told me the mystery man left. I backed up as the boy came in. He looked defeated and surprised that I was awake. He bowed his head a bit. "You heard that, didn't you..." I nodded. "I'm sorry." He sighed and straightened. "Well it's not the end of the world. yet..." I sat down and he did the same. I told him of my dream and his eyes widened. "What? Does my dream surprise you?" "yes it actually does. See, when I was younger, my dad told me that when he was young, he saw a woman rescue a small robot girl from the war zone when she was thrown there by an explosion. " "really? What was her name?" I marveled. "I dunno." He replayed to my dismay. "A bunch of numbers I think. By the way, I never got your name, what is it? "
"My name is Crystal" I replied.
"Well my name is Thomas" he said, smiling.
"I have an idea!" Thomas said, breaking the silence. "We should make it so you can love!" I blushed. "W-why..?" I stuttered. He turned a bright red. "Come on!" He grabbed my hand and ran. "Wha! Where are we going?!" I asked as we swerved around startled townsfolk. "We're going to see the town elder!" He smiled. I couldn't help but admire his enthusiasm as he pulled me towards the biggest tent of them all. I gasped as he slowed down to a stop in front of the magnificent tent. "I saw this from my clock! It's even more beautiful in person!" I marveled as he giggled and pulled me in.

However, in short, they asked if he could do it, but he said no, and to look for a woman named Lucinda to help, and that she was a great magic user and could surely help them, plus something else to Thomas that is not to be said...------------------------------------------------
