[fieldbox="Backfire and Penelope, White, dashed, 10"]Penelope grinned out at the little street they were on. She felt so excited to be back in the place where she first came to dream land... the place she first became an Alice. With her eyes bright and cheery, and a spring in her step, she practically skipped forward like a little girl in a candy store.
"
Come on guys! This way!" She started to run to the right, toward the direction of her old school, or rather the distorted version of it. She felt so happy to be back, and couldn't contain herself. Backfire seemed pretty happy too. She always loved running in the field, climbing the trees, and hoping into patches of tall flowers. She recalled playing hide and seek with Penelope when she was only a little girl... Penelope giggled as she hide behind trees or spotted Backfire hiding in a patch of flowers or a bush. Ah... and Haku was there too, making sweet flower crowns with Penelope and teaching her about the world and beyond. He was so wise and knowledgeable, even for appearing so young. This were happy memories.
Now... everything is different. Penelope finally took a step out of her comfort zone... which was staying here with Backfire and Haku... and has come to see that dream land isn't such a happy place. At least now she has the ability to fight back. She can only get stronger from this point onwards.
"
There it is!" Penelope squeeled in delight as her old school came into view. Vines and moss covered the walls of her school in her dreams... and strange and exotic plants were everywhere. The school was out of a fantasy book almost... except for the structure. With that, she stayed true to the original. She pranced into the parking space of the school and saw that the electronic gates to the school's field was open. "
Let's go in! Just for a minute..." Without further hesitation she went in, looking around, spinning... she felt good to be back. Suddenly, something stopped her from twirling. A firm hand on her shoulder. She turned around, and gasped. It was Jay.
"
Hey Penelope! Long time no see gurl.~" The nightmare smiled a toothy grin at the girl before him, and was given an equally large smile in return.
"Jr.! Oh wow it's been forever... How have you been?"
"
Ah... pretty well. Actually... better than ever." He seemed to be recalling a pleasant memory in his mind as he sighed dreamily.
"Oh? What happened?"
"
Girl... you won't believe this." Jay sounded almost like a teenage girl who was getting ready for some juicy gossip. "
Haku appeared here. Well sorta... Well... yeah he was here!" He seemed a little conflicted about what he wanted to express to Penelope.
"W...What?" Penelope was to shocked by the news to know how to respond. How was that possible? She thought Haku surely would never show up again... especially in a place like this. "You're... you're joking... right...?"
"
Sit down Penelope... and I'll tell you everythi-... oh? Who are these people here with you? The three males." Jay turned towards them. "
Uh... well allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jay... you can call me JJ or Jr... i-if you want. And you all are...?"
Backfire smirked. "
That's Fin and Zachery. The other is Jasper..." She leaned in to whisper, "
He's a real buttmunch. The other two guys are alright though I guess."[bg=#404040][/bg][/fieldbox]
