After some time, we were now walking on a beach side, naked people wearing small under garments, sitting under their umbrellas, others', was wearing shoes with wheels, noisy children chasing each other. Short story, we went to a beach filled of chaotic, petty people.

"I mean I tried to escape." A skater snatched a flyer. "I went directly to New York after college to have a huge Broadway career, before moving on to film and television, of course"

"Of course" I stated while looking around, still getting met by the sight of naked people. "But you know, if you're not already a film or television star. You can't even get a job on Broadway"

"So when my grandmother died, and left me that ridiculous house, I came home."

"Do you miss new York?" I peered to his side. "Not as much as I thought I would"

"Hmm" Rose handed flyers to a couple. "I mean- New York's very hard, and this place is not so bad.."

My attention moved over to a black figure, "Eh its a crow" I mumbled. "I'm gonna put a few up over there" Rose grabs my wrists. "So if you maybe want to.."

"Yeah, absolutely. I'll catch up with you two" Hal decided to go near the shore, for a split second I felt an energy just behind us, but I ignored it, maybe it was just Matthew or something? or one other of Dream's minions.

"Finding Matthew?" I peer over to the girl. "Yeah, just wanna see if what I saw last night was real" I hummed in response, scanning my surroundings, I saw a black bird just between two pillars.

"Matthew, is that you?" Rose kneels on one knee. "Rose that's no-"

"Nope- That's a crow, and I'm a raven" a voice chimes in behind us. "I'm a raven. Common mistake"

Rose's mouth gapes as she kneels down. "You're real?"

"Technically I'm a dream, but sure." He flaps a wing. "And hello your maje-" I looked at him furrowing my eyebrows, he caws in response. Sure I'd want to brag that I'm a 'Majesty' but, no, it'll raise more suspicion to her and Plan will fail.

"H-Hello there uhm- Anica"

"And is Morpheus watching us right now?" scanning her surrounding, she turned to the raven again. "He is. I can feel him in the back of my head" eugh, must be excruciating when you share a mind with another being, like what if Matthew was a person, Dream would be watching him shower and even watch him rub ma-

"Its the weirdest feeling, Do you need him?" He continued.

"Fuck"

"No, but he said he'd be there tonight when I fall asleep"

"Me too, me too, I'll be coming to help Rose with her brother" I smile proudly. "Yeah, Him and Anica is going to help me find him"

"That's the plan, and I'll be around till then if you need me" He squirms. "Thank you"

"You got it kid." He then flies away. "So, Rose, where is hal's house located?" I move in front of her, "Oh, your gonna love it there Anica, all the house members are so welcoming, you wouldn't even feel like your a newcomer there!"

"I guess, people tend to run away from me when I approach them haha" I scratch my nape, feeling a bit of uneasiness around. "Why don't we go find Hal? I'm sure He's been waiting for us" chuckling, we interlocked our arms jogging.

We approach Hal giggling at each other, I then saw a man in white clothes walking away from him. "Friend of yours?" I asked as Hal seemed to be surprised with us. "No, but he took a flier, so he might be calling" Imitating a phone with his hand.

"Mm-hmm. I'll give him your number" Rose chuckles. "Oh you!" He nudges us.

"But thanks!" whispering, we then proceeded to head 'home'.
