Zachary POV

Haaah, another week... another week and still no house avaible...

Sitting, down trodden, I hung my head in defeat, finally accepting the fact that I was... a freeloader.

Sighing, I look towards the ceiling, now changing my topic of death to my current predicament, boredom.

Looking at my clothing, I was abit glad as to how Pearl was going to be finished with the repairs and modifications on my favorite outfit.

Good thing that these clothes I can basically destroy...

Kicking off the couch, I go towards the warp pad, now knowing how to use it, after strenuous training by Steven and his... "creative" training regiment.

Flashback

Zachary: So, all I have to do is visualize where I want to go, and then concentrate on that?

Steven: Yep, easy as pie!

Zachary:Okay...

Alright! Here I go!

Doing as told, I felt myself being lifted into the air by the light beam... only for it to slam me back down, face first.

Steven: Okay, so maybe its not as easy as pie.

Present

Sighing, I rub the sore spot on my forehead, before feeling myself being transported, arriving at one of my favorite spots.

Zachary: Hellooooo,  sweet, sweet training grounds!

Walking towards the edge of the broken arena, I found the sky a perfect baby blue, clouds decorating the sky in an even better manner, shielding me from the sun just enough for there to be a cool breeze, with little light to interrupt my meditation.

Sitting down, I bring my hands together, crossing my hands over eachother, laying them across my crossed legs, closing my eyes.

Relaxing, I felt everything around me begin shifting, almost transforming to fit my needs.

Opening my eyes, my vision was met with the same landscape I had created with the Shadow lady from before, only now there were scattered trees throughout the endless sight of water, mainly sakura trees, their petals littering the water, alongside growing flowers, varying in many colors.

Said mystery woman was currently laid out in front of me, laying down in one of the patches of grass, face up, and from the looks of it, asleep.

Walking up to her, she didn't even acknowledge my distance, keeping her eyes closed.

Kneeling down, I nudge her cheek, prodding her to wake up.

Opening her eyes, the only real visible thing on her figure, she playfully glared at me.

B???: Oh look, the nap destroyer, here for another bountiful reward of powers.

Gasping, I slap my cheeks in mock shock, mouth agape.

Zachary: Oh how did you know?!

Chuckling at my joking tone, she jumped up to her feet, before standing, revealing that more of her figure was now visible.

She was quite slim, almost as slim as Pearl, with a pronounced hourglass figure. Although her clothes were still shadowed, you could see a distinct outline of a cloak like coat, enveloping her shoulders, whereas she wore a long sleeve... dress? Under said article was a pair of bell bottoms, and finally, a pair of average boots.
