Cairo laughed slightly before reaching below Alison's knees and to her back as he lifted her, her head resting on his chest as she slept, cradled in his arms. He strode into her room, followed by Marowak, before asking Marowak to draw back her sheets. Post-that order, Cairo layed his sleeping friend down lightly in her bed before drawing the sheets and comforter back over her. He looked at her for a moment before leaning in and kissing her lightly on her head, "Night, girl" he said before walking, Marowak at his side, toward her doorway.

Alison curled up tightly with the covers after Cairo tucked her in. She then fell into a restless sleep filled with Darkrai and a girl who looked familiar, but she couldn't identify the girl. She awoke at 6 a.m. in a cold sweat and panting. She wiped the sweat from her face and made her way to the shower. She got out, pulled her jean skirt, white thumb shirt and yellow vest on before she dried her hair. After drying her hair, she curled it and put her make-up on. She made her bed and walked out into the hallway, trying to recall her nightmare.

It was around seven and Cairo was soaked from a shower that he was stepping out of. He grabbed a towel and dried himself off before walking to the sink and brushing his teethm before Marowak strode into the bathroom. "Ey" Cairo said, articulating over brushing, making it somewhat difficult, "Er you up all nigh?" he inquired before removing the brush from his mouth and spitting into the sink. Marowak nodded as Cairo began to gargle a generic, green mouth wash. Thirty seconds passed and that, too, was sent to the sink. Cairo sighed as he looked to Marowak, "You didn't have to do that" he said before walking past him, placing a passing hand on his head, and shaking it playfully as Maorwak smiled and followed after its trainer.
Cairo changed into his usual attire, and after slipping on his shoes, and cleaning the room some, he left via the large, steel door, locking it behind him. He strode into the hallway, holding the door for Marowak who nodded to his trainer before they began to traverse the hall, when Cairo noticed Alison ahead of him. He and Marowak jogged slightly to catch her before the stairs, "hey" he said as he approached her, wrapped his arm around her, just for a moment though, in affectionate greeting before both his hands were back at his sides, "Sleep well?" he inquired.

"Not really" She said. Her eyes were slightly blood-shot. "I had another dream so I didn't sleep well" She said as they walked down the stairs. They sat on the couch, waiting for the others to get up. "In these dreams theres a girl that seems so familar. But I can't place a name to her..." She with a sigh as she leaned against him. "So, did Marowak stay up all night?"

"Apparently" he said, laughing and looking to his Pok?mon who sat beside Cairo, looking sternly ahead. "I'm sorry you didn't sleep so well, I think its very strange, what with happened to Jessica, you and Marowak refusing to leave my side..." he began, "Somethings up" he added as he looked to Alison, prior to Chad making an entry, "Hey..." he began, sounding overtired, "How'd you sleep?" Alison inquired as Chad let out a long 'Pffff' and threw himself to the bench on the other side of Alison, "Not so well, but I was up all night researching Darkrai. I was too concerned about her to sleep" Chad said, referring to Jessica.

A pokeball on Alison's pokebelt fell off and expanded. A red light filled the room as a fire fox Pok?mon appeared. "Hey there Vulpix" She said as the Pok?mon jumped up on her lap. "So, what did you find out about Darkrai?" She asked Chad.

"Well, like most legendaries, he's been scarcely seen, if at all. There been several dozen reports of people, mostly children, of been swept into an unwakeable slumber, complaining in ther sleep consistently of Darkrai, and his unreilquishing nightmare. Its a scary thought...I think that's what happened to Jessica, we're just lucky we got her out as quickly as we did. The thing is, these Darkrai dreams usually happen for a reason, like Darkrai is seeking revenge, or seeking something out and sees haunting them viable means of reaching out, or satisfying a vendetta. I don't understand why Jessica was affected..." Chad concluded before Cairo looked to Alison in question, he knew she potentially had a similar experience to Jessica, he took her hand and carressed it lightly with his thumb as he shot her a concerned glance.
As they began speaking, Jessica, emerged in the stairwell.

"Good morning" Alison said as she held Cairo's hand and stroked Vulpix. Alison wanted to know why Darkrai was reaching out for her and Jessica, but at the moment she was too tired to think.

Cairo scanned his tired group of friends who were all indefinetely concerned, but he decided it would have been better to forget about it for now, perhaps move on. In the same light, he knew Marowak expected him to do what he said, and check out what the Pok?mon deemed as a potential threat today. He sighed before looking to his group of friends, "Where to today?" He inquired generally, "I wonder if Spenser would be ready today..." Chad stated, not directed at anyone in particular, just verbalizing his notion.

"How about we just walk around? Unless you two are really ready for your battle" Alison stated as she stretched. "I need to walk, I know that." She said standing, Vulpix jumping off her lap as she stood and then ran to her side.

"I could go for a walk, might take my mind off of things." Chad said. As the group began walking Chad walked near Cairo and asked, "Are you nervous?" Cairo turned around. "You don't even know the half of it." He answered. Suddenly, in a flash of white light coming from Chad's belt, Chatot appeared. "Chatot, what are you-" Chad began before Chatot started to use a sing attack. "Hey, stop!" Chad shouted, throwing his hands to his ears. The singing stopped and Chad looked over to see Cairo covering his ears in a similar way. "Don't you ever do that again!" Chad scolded Chatot. "Chad," Cairo said in a worried tone, pointing to the ground where Alison and Jessica had fallen victim to the sing attack. "If they're asleep then they're gonna-" Chad began before being interupted by Cairo who said, "I know, I know.." Silence passed in which Cairo and Chad tried to wake Alison and Jessica. "I think Chatot did this on purpose, I think...Maybe Darkrai is trying to warn them or tell them something and I think Chatot knew that." Chad said, watching as the two girls before him began to mumble something.

Jessica again fell into a void of darkness. The piercing blue eye and dark mass was there again, and this time, not to far away from Jessica, was Alison. Then a few events were played in front of them, all of them quite blurred. A young girl and several what appeared to be Rocket Grunts were surrounding Darkrai, who was heavily restrained at all parts of the body, and so far only two of them looked familiar to Jessica, and those two and another looked familiar to Alison. "Now, settle down!" One said, a Drapion behind her. She only looked vaguely familiar. She pointed to the Darkrai. "Drapion, quiet the dang thing!" And the Drapion moved closer, did a rather harsh-looking X-Scissor, and then everything went blank. Reality then warped around the two girls, and they awoke to find themselves on the ground.

"Alison" Cairo said as she awoke in his arms, blinking rapidly until she saw him. "Jessica" Chad said synonomously with Cairo as she awoke in an identical manner. "Are you two alright" Cairo said as Alison was now completely sitting up, his arm still around her but he looked to everyone. Chad contemplated why Chatot would do that, he defied Chad, and Chatot was one of his most loyal Pok?mon. "What is going on..." Chad and Cairo thought simultaneously, "WAK!" Marowak exclaimed as it took a defensive stance, moving and swinging his bone sporadically as if to protect the trainers from an invisible force. "What the...M-Marowak, what are you doing.." Cairo inquired lightly before it was brushed off by an occupied Pok?mon. Cairo was beginning to get scared.

"Darkrai...That girl...Team Rocket Grunts...they were hurting it..." She said as she rubbed her head. "I think Darkrai is in trouble..." She said looking at the Pok?mon as a breeze rustled by them. "...and I think the Pok?mon know."

"So do I" Cairo added as he looked as his Marowak, dealing attacks to their fullest extent. "Wak!" it exclaimed as it leapt to the air, "Marowak, no!" Cairo cried out angrily. "No!" Chad exclaimed as well, knowing Marowak was intending to use a quick, but powerful eathquake thats aftershocks could damage the trainers and the Pok?mon center. "Golduck, hydro pump!" Cairo exclaimed, lifting one lef backward as he threw the Pokeball as quickly as he could, "Don't hesitate!" He added as the white flash of light released a firing Golduck. The blasts of water knocked the glowing Marowak from the air, and was thrown back harshly with incredible speed. Cairo, friends and Golduck all cringed as Marowak was sent painfully to the ground, not completing the attack and doused in water as it panted. "Thank you, Golduck" Cairo said before running to Marowak, "I'm sorry bud, but you're acting so crazy" he said as he lifted Marowak and cradled it in his arms. He lifted a Pokeball, but the panting, injured Marowak still refused return and fell to the ground to avoid it. "What are you.." Cair began before being interrupted as Marowak began articulating itself to Golduck. The trainers looked on in question as Golduck listened and after a few moments, its brows were sent inward and down as it nodded to Marowak and ran to its side, taking on a defensive stance and surrounding Cairo as best they could. "This is..." Cairo began, "Frightening" a concerned Chad added as his hair rustled in a passing breeze beneath a gray sky, posied to start raining.
