We were all sitting in a park, my body nuzzled into Billy while he repeatedly kissed my temple. Freddy, Pedro and Mary were yelling idea at each other. We were in the midst of trying to come up with some plans as to how to make my slumber a lot less restless. 

 Darla pipes up, her little buns on her head popping up with her as she yells, "What if she used her magic dream powers to stop him!?" 

 Freddy's face contorts into a disgusted one before he says, "She doesn't have "Dream powers," what the fuck are those?"

 I look at him with a look of anger. He was always over here crushing little girls' dreams. The only difference about this one is I wish he was crushing mine and not Darla's. 

 Mary stands up and stares at us all, "But what if she dreams she does? She was able to dream in a Freddy, why not some abilities! It's her dream!"

 All their eyes avert to me as if I would know. "Seriously?" I ask. Pedro shrugs. 

 "We think maybe you'll know," Billy says. I looked at him as if he was stupid.

 "Yeah, no shit," I state before looking back at the group, all of them still staring. "I DON'T KNOW!" I yell. 

 "Does it not sound like it could work?" Eugene asks. I begin to stutter before Billy rubs my arm. I cuddle into his side and close my eyes for a few seconds. I was taking in the last sense of reality I really had.

 "Fine, I'll do it," I hesitantly said. They all seemed relieved but I just became more nervous. I didn't enjoy going into my dream world like I used to. Billy always scared me in there and I was always waiting for the day I couldn't get out. The last time I would see the real Billy Batson. 

 I look at Billy and he asks, "What's wrong?" I feel Freddy's presence next to me before hearing him ask the same question. 

 "W-What if one day I don't come back?" I ask. Freddy's eyebrows furrow as Billy's eyes gets wider. He wraps his arm around my waist and holds me close. He scans the group, all holding the same expressions as Freddy was.

 "Maybe she's right... We should be careful with abusing access to her dream world," He says, before putting his face into the top of my head.

 I felt his lips come in contact with my hair before Pedro says, " Okay so... Do you want to let this thing bother her? Possibly kill her, Billy?"

 He shrugs and says, "Well when you put it that way-" he was cut off quite quickly by Freddy Freeman who had been strangely quiet.

 "PUT IT THAT WAY?! IT'S BEEN THAT WAY SINCE WE FOUND OUT!" He yells. I try to hide my laugh but it just comes out as a large grin. Billy looks shocked.

 "Well... We're still abusing it. She can get hurt going in there too much, remember this bastard can hear us?" Billy says.

 "You're the bastard," Eugene states.

 "Don't say that word, Eugene," Freddy says.

 "He is the bastard though," He reconfirms. I look at Darla as she begins.

 "What's wrong with Bastard? Is that a bad word?" Mary is shocked by Darla's question.

 "Just don't say bastard," she says. 

 "I'm not the bastard by the way," Billy says.

 "Technically you are the bastard because she says it looks and talks like you," Pedro says. 

 "Oh my god! But it's not me! I'm not the bastard!" He yells.

 "SHE SAYS OTHERWISE!" Freddy yells. "Do you understand that fact that if it's you then you're the guy in there, not YOU, you, but you... bastard."

 "Fuck off," Billy laughs. Everyone else erupts into laughter after Billy's small phrase. 

 "Billy is the bastard," Eugene says. We all look at him.

 "Just a dark version of the real bastard," I say hugging Billy's side.

 "I'm not the..." he looks around the group for a second. "Fine... I'm the fucking bastard, hope you're all happy."

 They all nod their heads before Mary says, "Either way Y/n, we'll protect you. We'll be by your side the whole way."

 We were heading back tot he house, I was walking behind the group right next to Billy. I connect my hand to his and lace our fingers together. "Are you nervous?" He asks.

 "I'm always nervous," I state. We both laugh a bit. We walk in silence for a few minutes before we see the school in the distance.  I lay my head on his shoulder and ask, "Why?" 

 He shrugs and says, "I don't know... Maybe I was just curious. What if it doesn't work?" He quickly adds on. I look up at him, not quite able to answer it. I think for a second.

 "Then... I don't know. Then I probably wouldn't come out. You guys have been teasing me with that vibe since we left the park," I say. They had actually been making me nervous about it. 

 He nods his head. I look up at him and smile. "I didn't mean to come off that way about it, I was actually concerned. Okay?" I nod my head, already knowing.

 We continue to walk until we reach the house. We enter the large home and start removing our winter stuff. I look at Rosa and Victor. "WHERE! Were you kids?!" Victor yells.

 I step back nervously. We all got nervous but Mary decided to take initiative, thankfully she had. 

 "I was showing them the school I was going to go to," she seemed nervous. We all looked up at them and they sighed in understanding. 

 "Okay... Darla and Eugene, please clean your rooms. Freddy, you left your action figures all over the floor in your room. Billy, please finish unpacking. Pedro... I've said to get the food out from under your bed and you still haven-" He cuts Rosa off.

 "I need that food under my bed," He says. She looks at him confused.

 "Why do you-" He cuts her off once again. 

 "For hibernating season..." He seemed so serious.

 "When is that?" I ask. He looks at me as if it was obvious.

 "Summertime..." He seemed angry, as always. 

 "Seriously? It's still winter..." Billy states with disgust all over his face. Pedro walks away and so does everyone else.

 Billy and I stand there before he whispers, "If this doesn't go right, I'll save you, alright?" 

 I nod my head as his lips come in contact with his ear. I could hear the waterfall again and my eyes started fluttering as if I was about to pass out as I looked at Rosa and Victor. I fell to the floor roughly, the last thing I felt was my head smash into the hardwood before darkness covered my sight.
