Tomato can't sleep on that night, and he don't know why.
He went to Lemon's room which is just next door. Knocking on the plastic made door gently and wait for an answer. Thought she was asleep he turn around heading back when the door suddenly open. He look back and saw Lemon.
"Hey, bro. Something bothering you huh?"
"Yeah, Don't know why I can't sleep"
"Don't tell me u missed that little brat?"
*Laughter*
"HEy, you're only two years senior than me. I can see somethings bothering you too."
"That's why you're my bro. Why don't you tell yours first?"
"I feel strange, cuz I had this same dream a few nights ago...The day Kiwi went missing"
"Really? Me too."
They look at each other. Feeling that something's off the track.
Silent filled the room.
"Bro, you remember how the last trip at the penthouse was?"
"Yeah. Fun turns into chaotic and finally things gets okay in the end we still have fun though"
"Oh yeah, how you found Kiwi?"
Tomato's looking back into his memory, and then starts telling what really happens that day.
Step by step he walked. Frantically yelling Kiwi's name like how other family members did. Suddenly, he saw a cat. It has the most beautiful blue eyes and its as if that it can look through him. The cat turn to the bushes and look back over his shoulders at Tomato as if it wanted Tomato to follow it. It went into the bushes, and Tomato did follow it. Tomato follow the cat went deeper and deeper into the bushes and finally came into a light that blinds his sight. Slowly Tomato recover his sight. Widen his eyes amazed by what he saw, the colors of the sky with lots of star shining above Tomato. Few phoenix enjoy flying themselves in the sky, as unicorns drink the crystal clear water flowing down towards east, the beauty of the nature in front of him is nothing he could find the world. A sudden tap, wakes his sense. A hooded human figured stand beside him. Tomato back away.
A voice came from it,
"I'll bring you to her"
Confused yet eager to get his sister, he followed that hooded figure.
"She's a gift, right Tomato?"
Looking at the hooded figure Tomato nodded and adds
"How you know my name?"
"She's sent to protect us. Confirmation clarified. Lucky we could save her"
Confused, Tomato stare at him.
"What you mean?"
"We're here"
The hooded figure point to a crystal bed where Kiwi rest on it.
"Kiwi!"
Tomato rushes to Kiwi shaking her trying to bring Kiwi into conscious.
"Take her back, secure her. Until her 18th arrive The Day"
"What ar-"
"Halt the discussion, Kiwi needs rest. Remember, until her 18th arrive"
Saying so, the hooded figure chanted some murmurs and a phoenix flew and land in front of them.
"Ride this sacred creature which guide you back"
Saying so, the hooded man disappeared into thin air.
"But that wasn't what I heard from you last 8 years ago"
"I know, I told a lie because no one would ever believed me. They'll think I'm lunatic or something."
"Oh, Tomato. You carry this alone all this years? We're siblings, don't do that again okay?"
"Okay Lemon."
"Say, isn't it weird that this came to you again-I mean its like suddenly such things bounce back to you after all this year in your dream"
"You think it means something?"
"Sort of...I guess"
They both didn't further their discussion instead they bid goodnight to each other and calls it a night. Tomato went to his room and tug into his bed sheet. He didn't notice something was glowing in his drawer with a subtle fog coming out from the opening of the drawer. It vibrates gently and end with sudden halt. The fog stopped and no glowing notice.
