LIBBYS' POV.... 12 HRS LATER
I run into the office, and ask, "Can I get enlisted? Can I sign the frick up?"
The secretary nods her head, and writes my name down.
I call Star, "We're leaving! Get over here and stop flirting!"
He yips in joy, and flies into his tattoo.
I smile, and use my teleportation skills to get all my stuff.
I hear a familiar groan, and see a big black dragon land outside the school.
A man with a familiar spiked suit is on his huge balck dragon os waiting for me.
I scream, "APOLLO!"
He snaps his head my direction, a smile in his eyes.
He asks, "How'd you guess?"
I smile, and leap onto his dragon.
He frowns, "Libby, meet Thornton. He's Pandoras' substitute while she's egg stitting."
I nod, and climb on behind Apollo.
He shrugs, and grabs the reins.
He taps the dragon, and we take off.
I grab his waist, and realize why he dove before the dance.
He was jogging my memory?
He nods.
I ask, "Since when?"
He smiles, "I phased up, and got some new powers, okay?"
I remember all the cruel ways I treated Wing Boy, and guilt crawls all over me.
How can he still love me? I treated him like a dirt bag.
He looks back, a warm smile on his face.
How can he be this way?
He looks back over Thorntons' shoulders, and pulls us to land.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BIOOM!
A big net hits Apollo broad side, and suddenly he's falling.
I scream, and try to turn the dragon to catch him, but it disobeys and flys away swiftly.
I try and get free, but a spell is holding me in the saddle.
No! APOLLLLO!
Tears stream my face.
I scream in anger and sadness....
FLASH!

I jolt up in bed, and burst into tears.
It was all a dream? He never gave me a....
A black guitar is propped up in the corner.
Since when?
A voice hits my head, "Since now."
I scream, realizing its' Lance.
I settle down, and ask, "WHAT THE HECK?"
He seems amuzed, and leaves me be.
I ask Sharon, and she says that the past day was all a dream.
She does confirm a certain part though.
She informs, "I did see Wing Boy outside your window, singing a strange and ancient song. He and Good Wint are one in the same by the way. He had the evil look again, and that blasted fedora."

I ask, "Is it possible he's Apollo?"
Sharon shakes her head.
She explains, "He's dead, remember?"
I nod, and tell her all that happened in the dream.

She gasps.
I ask, "What?"
She gapes, "He wove the dream using his spell. That dream has a message beyond the dream itself. I recommend finding it, becuase it's probably important."
I nod, and write down the key factors of the dream.
*Apollo was alive
* I had a flashback of the prison
* I rode with Apollo
* Wing Boy was Apollo
* Apollo got recaptured

I add a few more things, and set my brain into hyper mode.
Maybe he's trying to say all aren't what they seem?
Maybe he was trying to get an apology?

I ask Sharon her opinion, but she says she'll need time to mull over it. The meaning really deepends on the DW, or Dream Weaver. I'm suprised he even flaunted his abilities to you. Most Dream Weavers were wiped out during Magic War 1, and recently reported extinct. We'll need to tell autorities that there's a few left."
I nod, and remember a vauge magic tip from an old female mage in my village.
I remember her saying, "Strong Shadows can transform themselves into their bonded friend, but can only Dream Weave. They are the only ones capible of Dream Weaving, for it is in thier blood."

Maybe it was his Shadow?

I tell Sharon my recollection, and she seems shocked.
She tells me that she has to have a talk with the head mage.
I sigh.
What good does telling Otice do?

I stand up, and get ready for a redo of today.
