Lila stored the already packed old briefcase under her bed; covered it with the old sheet that she used to cover the briefcase before. She folded and put away her letters and class schedule inside her pillow — once she put everything, she went straight to bed.
She tucked herself in, shut her eyes and after a few moments — she finally went to sleep. As she was sound asleep Lila, she began to dream of the same dreams that she's been having. The dream of the little 'Pink Haired Princess, and her Prince'. She woke in her dream, where she was found in the same tall flowery bed, by the vast meadow and off in the distance was the big tall tree that resided on top of the hill. To which Lila quickly walked towards it, and went to see if both the prince and the little princess were still there.
✧₊⁎・゜゚・*✧.。.:*🦋*:.。.✧*・゜゚・⁎₊✧˚
Once she made it up the hill, Lila was relieved to see that the two were at their usual spot — the little Princess sitting by the Prince, who seemed to be focused on his book. Lila sat by them, since it was the only thing she did in her dream. Sit and listen. She laid underneath the big tall tree, with the Prince and the little princess — which rested on top of a very tall hill in a vast meadow as they normally did; which was also by a long riverbend.
As the Prince read his book, mumbling out loud as well as writing into his book. The little Princess rested her head on his shoulder, as he read. Lila looked at the meadow, admiring the view of the flowery meadow and riverbend while listening to the Prince's voice — on which sounded, somewhat velvety?
Lila thought that this place of her dream was quite peaceful and enjoyed dreaming of such a place as well as both Prince and Princess. As it felt comforting to her — felt special to her for some odd reason? And everything seemed familiar to her somehow; as if she had lived this, before — this dream, these moments before. But Lila knows that she has never been to such a place before or has never met the two in her life, though she felt her instinct tells her otherwise.

"What are we reading about today, My Prince???" Asked the little Princess, as she moved her head away from his shoulder to look at him. The Prince sighed heavily, and groaned after being interrupted from his reading.
"Just reading about what will be in my next class. But it needed a little tweeks, so I decided to write a few things of my own version of my work on this textbook. Anywho — I don't think you'd enjoy such boring things such as what I am reading. Aren't you usually busy coloring silly drawings with my parchment, no less?" Implied the Prince, sounding a bit stern and coldly to the little Princess. Where she simply replied to his question with her arms crossed trying to match his character.
"For your information my Prince, I was drawing a little picture of you and me — and I believe you enjoyed it as such, since you decided to keep that last one I drew. *Giggle!*" She let out a little laugh as she knew that even she couldn't take herself seriously.
Although both the Prince and little Princess faces were blurred, Lila was still able to depict their reactions and body language. And she herself giggled, whenever she saw the Prince cute at times. Like how he just turned his head the opposite way, to not have the little Princess see him blush by her silly comment.
Even if he did act like a cold, and serious person — he had some cute sides to him, and was actually quite the softy.
"Also —" The little Princess exclaimed, while sitting a little closer to the Prince.
"I don't think any of what you read to me is boring — I think it's very... what was that word you said the last time... 'fascinating'??? — *Giggle!!!* Besides, I enjoy you reading to me every day. It's quite relaxing." She hummed lastly, resting her head back on his shoulder.
The Prince — as usual, acted as if he didn't care — replied with a smug tone, yet his behavior speaks volumes. "Hmph! Very well. I mostly need to study this and go over what I need to learn for my next exams, anyways. But if you grow bored and fall asleep — don't expect me to wake you, after."
"He, he!!! Noted!!!" She replied with a cheeky and pleased expression — as she rested her head on his left arm, making herself comfortable as he read.
Lila and the little Princess were zoning what the Prince was reading out loud, while he resumed scribbling on his text book — both being lost by his voice; so somewhat velvety and light. The way he spoke when he read his book aloud, both almost forgetting what he said. As he mostly read about — what Lila thinks were about plants? Or probably something about medicine? As some of the words he uttered sounded somewhat strange and foreign.
Both confused, on what he read mostly; but enjoyed learning about whatever he read in his book to the little Princess. Lila also thought that it was very interesting and intriguing to learn so many things that he read in his book, things that sounded a little complex, and even things that she has never heard of. Like how uttered about gathering 'Coriander, Belles of Ireland and Bouvardia' to make something called a Magnus? As well as something called Wolfsbane, Nightshade and Aconite? Including things like a Goa and Bezoar? She wasn't sure what all these things were, or what they were used for — some sounded weird and made up; while some sounded like candy.
Even though she had no idea what he said made any sense to her — she thought that whatever he read seemed somewhat important for her to learn for some reason? Overall, she also found it to be quite meditating to have someone read to her — as it felt peacefully calming.
Lila enjoyed being in the dream — as the dream felt to be calming and peaceful for her and felt that it to be cherished. As it helped her get through her difficult life in the real world.
Although her memories of her father were something that kept her distracted about her life in the real world also. But she also saw this dream, this place as some sort of escape from her harsh reality — and never wished to dream of anything else better than this. Everything seemed to be as it should be, and she felt like she belonged here for some odd reason. To her, she felt everything in this wonderful dream to be perfectly balanced. And that nothing could go wrong.
"Hmmm..." Hummed the little Princess, nuzzling on the Prince's arm as she was sound asleep. The Prince shook his head and sighed at the obvious display. Instead of shoving her off his shoulder, he let her sleep — he also rubbed her hair lightly, so as not to wake her. Lila awed at the scene and thought how cute the two were. The little Princess rustled a bit to the side, and was holding something in her arms as she slept; that Lila didn't notice she had with her. She was surprised, yet puzzled by what she was holding tightly, as the doll that the Princess was hugging with her other arm looked exactly like her sister Daisy's ragdoll.
"Juju???" Lila uttered in confusion. Her head suddenly started to ache. And she wasn't sure why her head was hurting so badly, even being inside a dream.
Then suddenly, Lila was being levitated off the ground from where she was sitting. Then forcibly dragged her body away from the hill, away from the tree — on which Lila tried grabbing a hold to, but her hand just went through the branches, like some sort of ghost. Lila tried to return back to the surface of the dream, as she forcibly tried diving down, or floating back down; but was no use. She kept going up, and wasn't stopping. She was already far from the surface and the dream was slowly starting to become no longer visible anymore. Then out of nowhere, Lila cried out as tears floated across her face, while stretching her arm out.
"NO!!! MY PRINCE!!!"
✧₊⁎・゜゚・*✧.。.:*🦋*:.。.✧*・゜゚・⁎₊✧˚
Lila instantly opens her eyes, and finds herself awake in her bed. She quickly sat up from her bed and began crying uncontrollably, as she pulled her legs closer to her. She wasn't sure why she was even crying, but felt somewhat heartbroken, for some reason. As if, she was never going to go back to the dream, as well as back with the little Princess; and Prince.
But oh, how it made her weep even more — once she started thinking that she won't see the Prince again. She knew that she couldn't see his face, but still wanted to be by his side.
"Lilac.... *yawn!* Are you okay? Why are you crying" Yawned Daisy, in a tired and sleepy expression. "Yeah, Lilac. You okay? *yawn!* Replied Sandy, also sounding and looking tired. Both twins walked over to her bed to see what was going on.
Lila saw them looking concerned and tired her sisters were, and immediately wiped her tears with her long sleeve. She answers them, in a way to not make them worry even more, then she already did.
"Sorry you guys..... just had a nightmare"
Sandy and Daisy both looked at each other, then back at her. "Are you sure you're alright? We heard you scream, and then you were suddenly crying."
"Yes, like I said. I just had a nightmare. Can't remember what it was though, but I'm glad that it was over with. Sorry for waking the two of you up-... Wait — What time is it???" Lila checks the clock hanging from their room and sees that it was '3:00 am' in the morning.
Worried that she had woken her sisters up this early, she immediately tells them to go back to bed, since they had school in the morning. She plants a kiss on their foreheads, and sends them off to bed. But, before the twins made it back to their beds, the three of them were startled by their bedroom door slammed open — making them jump and flinch from the sudden sound of the loud slam. Olga barges in, looking dead tired, in her plaid oversized dressing gown. Looking furiously and enraged for being woken up so early.
"What in bloody hell is going on!? — Do you have any idea what time it is?" Olga hissed, tiredly. Immediately glaring at Lila
Lila explains to Olga that she had a nightmare and apologizes for waking everybody up so early in the morning, and that she'll just go back to bed.
Olga wanted to rip the strands of platinum silver white hair off her scalp — for disrupting her beauty sleep. But was too tired to even do something like that so early in the morning — so she thought that she should leave it for the afternoon.
"See that you do. Can't believe you woke me and the girls up with your screaming and yelling like some mad women." She hissed to her lastly as she left the room, and went back to her quarters.
Lila took a big sigh of relief, as she was glad that Olga didn't suddenly beat her up for waking her and everybody up — and was lucky enough to get off scot free — but also fears that she might have something in hand later in the day.
"Okay, girls. Time for us to go to bed. I have a lot of work tomorrow and you two have school early in the morning." Lila advised both girls — as she patted their head and kissed their foreheads. Sending the twins to go back to their beds
Sandy told Lila goodnight and immediately went off to bed, but Daisy waited by Lila's bed. Lila looks at Daisy, and asks her what's the matter? Daisy stretched both her arms out, while holding on to her ragdoll Juju.
"Daisy, what are you-"
"In case you have any more scary dreams... Juju will keep you safe tonight." Daisy said hushly — Lila immediately insists that she'd be fine and that Daisy should keep her doll with her. But Daisy tucks in Juju by Lila on her bed. Assuring Lila that she was okay, with her decision.
"It's okay Lilac — I just want you to not have any more nightmares and Juju will keep you safe, as you sleep." Daisy whispered hushly. Before heading back to her bed, she kisses Lila on the cheek, and Sandy surprises her by hopping off her bed — as she thought that she already went to sleep. Sandy walked over to Lila and kissed her on her forehead. Both twins told her goodnight, both of them walking to their beds to fall asleep.
Lila doing the same, as she readied herself in her uncomfy bed while hugging the little green redhead ragdoll. Shutting her eyes to go to sleep. But before dozing off. She couldn't stop thinking about the little Princess and her Prince. And looks down at Juju, wondering why the ragdoll was in her dreams in the first place? And what caused her to suddenly leave the dream all of a sudden, as if she was being kicked out of her own dream. Thinking about such a thought, she worried that she might not ever dream of her peaceful dream again, and worried that she won't see both Prince and little Princess again. She clenches onto her chest — hoping to see them again — to see the Prince again.
Her eyes suddenly grew heavy. She rubs her eyes, yawns and nuzzles herself in her bed. Wrapping herself in a worn out blanket while she hugged Juju — as she drifted in her sleep, before mumbling a little before finally sleeping.
"*Yawn!!!* I hope — You get to meet your Prince again — Princess." Lila yawned and hummed softly, as she finally went to sleep.
