It wasn't long before it began raining. "Looks like we're having a thunderstorm tonight," stated Amber, tying her blond hair in a bun. "Oh well," sighed Willow, smoothing out the creases in her purple nightgown. Amber turned off the lights and they drifted to sleep. Suddenly, Willow, who was startled by the storm, woke up. Panting, she looked around her. Amber was still asleep. Carefully, Willow began to lightly shake Amber. Amber turned over then opened her eyes. "What's wrong Willow?" asked Amber. "Why did you wake me up?" "I'm sorry," apologized Willow. "I'm just a bit frightened from the storm." But Amber wasn't listening to what her sister said. All she was doing was staring at the wall. Quickly, Amber jumped out of her bed and walked to the other side of the room. "What are you doing?" asked Willow. Amber didn't answer, she just focused on the wall. Willow went over to Amber and stared at the wall as well. "Look!" exclaimed Amber. "One of the tiles on the wall are darker than the others!" Willow was confused. Amber touched the tile, and the wall slid open. "Wow!" said Amber. "This is amazing!" Carefully, the two girls walked through the opening like a door. "A secret passage!" exclaimed Willow. They hurried down the long windy stairs and through the secret passage. When they reached the end of the stairs, they found a big lake. "How are we ever going to cross this lake?" asked Amber. "Should we turn back?" asked Willow. "Alright," replied Amber. Just then a boat came right out the water. "Or we could hop into that boat!" exclaimed Amber. They were very shocked by what was happening, but they got into the boat anyways. Slowly, the boat began to transport them to the other side of the lake. Once it arrived, the two girls hopped out. "Where are we?" asked Willow. The world around them was quite strange. Trees were made of lollipops, horses had wings and were flying, and there was even a chocolate river! Beside the chocolate river was a young boy. He looked fancy. The two girls exchanged looks of confusion then went over to the boy. "Hello," said Willow, staring at her sister. "Hello," said the boy. "Who are you?" he asked. "I'm Willow and this is my twin sister Amber." "You do look a lot the same," said the boy. "Who are you?" asked Willow. "I'm Prince James of the Dreamworld," replied the boy. "Just call me James." "You're a prince!" exclaimed Amber. "What's the Dreamworld?" asked Willow. "The Dreamworld is what keeps people safe in their beds in the Waking world and it's where you are right now," replied James. "The Dreamworld sounds amazing!" cried Amber. "I wish we could live here," sighed Willow. While they were talking, a few soldiers walked past them. "Where are those soldiers going?" asked Amber. "I thought there were no dangers here!" "Well, there is one," replied James. "It's the one the soldiers are going to fight." "It's the one thing that's ruining the Waking world." "What is it!?" asked Willow in fear. "Nightmares."
