"And one, and two, and three... Come on. Again!" Shouted a teacher at the prima ballerina.

The girl shift from a step to another, according to her choreography. She kept swinging and moving around almost mechanically.

"NO. More fluid. Like the breathing of Hamon..."

(Name), breathlessly, tried to slow down, but was met with a slap.

"I'M TRYING LISA!"

"NOT HARD ENOUGH..."

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Shouted Death 13.

"Lisa Lisa, you'll wake up in your house, without any memory of this dream ever occuring. Thank you for training her."

The woman vanished in a puff and (Name) was finally taking a break. She started with untying her pointes and the stand, whom has been training her in the dream world, started talking.

"One of the 3 enemies you'll face is coming after me. Not your father, nor Dio. "

"How do you feel this?"

"I feel my death approaching..." The stand took a deep breath. "My user saw the adoptive parents being killed by a girl with black hair and I cannot do anything to save me nor him... She cannot fall asleep and her stand didn't appear... I don't know what advice to tell you, but I want you to promise me... You'll avenge my family and myself."

The girl teared up a bit. Death 13 invoked a big screen. That screen was showing exactly what the child user was seeing.

A bloodied uniform and a blank mask, framed by a black hair was seen walking around the house, in the search of the boy.

"I know you help that bitch! Were are you, shit eating baby?"

"Listen, (Name) this might be the last time I help you keep DIO away from you. So that he doesn't do anything to you in sleep... But I want to tell you that I want to apologise to Kakyoin for Egypt..."

"There you are!" Said the killer.

"I'm sorry. But advice... When you sleep summon Moonhigh Queen to keep you company. DIO cannot use The World inside you... You're already one and a stand. And his soul cannot stay near pure, magic water. As she is made out of it."

The girl cried now as she saw the blank mask, with droplets of blood on it, and the eyes through it, empty and black as the void, that looked through her eyes...

"I see... You hide her in the dream world. She's at the Kujo Residence..."

"(Name) you'll wake up remembering everything. NOW!"

The girl jolted up from the bed, in a cold sweat, crying. All three of her friends were sitting with her, as she started explaining her dream.

"Well... I was attacked... Well not directly, more like indirectly. But someone's after me..."

"That makes 3 enemies." Said Jotaro, yawning.

"Not only that... But there's also going to be an eclipse during the prom... Making DIO strong..." Added (Name).

"We should keep resting, though..." Said Kakyoin. "In case you forgot we have a wedding tomorrow and I want to be able to participate, awake."

"Oh come on, people could die and all you think now is sleep?" Retorted Sylvia.

"Without a proper sleep we might do their trick easier."

"GUYS STOP ARGUING!"Shouted (Name). "We don't even know if she can reach us... We don't know how far she is, We don't know if  she is near us or not as we speak... I don't want to lose you..."

Kakyoin and Jotaro went ahead and hugged the girl, saying in unison: "You won't lose us...Me and Kakyoin will try our best to keep you well." While Noriaki said "Everything will be fine. I and Jotaro will make sure."

"God I love when you two act like twins and cover each other while speaking." Said the hugged girl. Sylvia looked at the time.

"Guys it's 5am... Let's sleep until 8, then prepare for the wedding. Okay?"

They all went back to sleep,  preparing for the very event that was soon going to happen, but (Name) was pretty scared herself for what was going to happen. "I'm sorry... Everyone." Soft tears made her pillow wet as she wanted to crumble.
