Chapter 46 - Here we go again...

When I teleported back to the clearing I found Hikari there waiting for me. "Oh! Hey Hikari! I just teleported them back, did you need something?" I asked Hikari while tilting my head. "I... Couldn't sense you and... Uh... Became...Uhm... W-worried." Hikari said bashfully. "Awww! Was someone worried?" I teased Hikari. Hikari then proceeded to flick my head playfully. "How'd it go?" Hikari asked me. "Well, they were amazed by every little thing and asked about every little thing but I'm glad they had fun!" I happily reported. "Well that's good!" Hikari said with relief as he sighed.

After a few days I had decided to chill out at the clearing. I turned into an Espeon because of how sunny it was outside. "Hmmm.... This is always a pain... but the sun does feel nice on fur though!" I said happily as I stretched out. Without noticing I had moved closer to the waters edge. After a few minutes I had fallen asleep.

I then heard Cosmic Gem shouting at me. "Wh...wha...?" I tried to speak but couldn't. I tried to wake up but couldn't. I felt my body move without me wanting it to. It moved on its own. I felt myself lay down.

I looked around to see I wasn't at the clearing and somewhere else. "Where... Are we...?" I asked Cosmic Gem. "We're at the bottom of that waterfall, see?" Cosmic Gem answered my question as he turned my body around and pointed up at a waterfall. "Oh! We're here again? Did I fall when I was sleeping?" I asked Cosmic Gem. "Yes you did... For the second time..." Cosmic Gem answered me with annoyance. "I need to stop doing that." I muttered to myself. "Yes, you should." Cosmic Gem added. "Guess who had to take control of your body again?" Cosmic Gem rhetorically asked me."You... And I remember parts of it even..." I answered CG (Cosmic Gem). "Interesting..." CG said. "Maybe this was good after all so that you can become more aware." CG added.

After a few minutes of regaining my senses and talking to CG.

"Let's head back Th-"
