"Simon!" Aubrey exclaimed surprisingly.
"It's actually Seymone dear." Simon sarcastically replied.
Simon was Aubrey's gay friend on her entire highschool. And his actions in the real world are totally different in her dreams world. Although the intonation of his words and the way he communicate was totally his nature, in a dream or reality. But minus the fashion cause Simon's taste of fashion in real world is very classy and was different in her dream cause he looks like a poor fisher man who doesn't catch fish all day.
"You know the man?" Onyx ask.
"Yeah! We all are. He was our Schools President in our Seniors!" Aubrey happily said.
It's like the issue about her sleeping during the whole fight scene in the Alligators feast disappear. Well that's the magic of the dream.
Everyone on the boat was silent and feels the awkward moment since they only knew Simon as the ferry man who help them. When she saw their unexplainable reaction she fakes her laugh and said towards Simon. "But you look cute and handsome by the way. You should be straight cause promise, ladies will totally fall in line to be your girlfriend.
Simon beam handsomely and replied, "Why? Are you willing to be my girlfriend" and sounded like a hot man. The girls screech and made Aubrey shocked from what just happened. The two boys who were watching the show stands up and fetch their ladies. One approached Cera who was totally having a big and deep crush towards Simon by looking at her smile and eyes. "Cera, there is something I would like to show you. You might be interested." One foces Cera to keep her attention towards the cute Simon. While on the other hand Zecheng pulls Aubrey's hand to move from the corner of the craft. Meanwhile the other two girls became the audience.
Aubrey tried to gets out from the grip and the strong force of Zecheng's pull. Simon looks the both of them cutely.
"Aubrey.. your a very lucky girl. If you are just awake on that moment you will never see how these Zecheng guy carried you and protects you from those monsters." Simon tingles.
Aubrey wonders and look Zecheng on his eye and asked," You carried me? How?"
Zecheng responds, " like these" and automatically carried her like a fireman carrying a survivor and walks away from the crowd. Simon smiled seeing them both live while some other people's face turns to be jealous and the other couple was left still quarrelling.
When Aubrey and Zecheng are alone they had nothing to say but silence. But because Aubrey can't hold on to be quiet she started the conversation. She looks at Zecheng and started, "What do you think Simon's doing at here in these place?"
Zecheng who doesn't look at her back gave deep breaths as an answer.
"Was he looking for something?" She added. And still doesn't answer. Aubrey grimace at him when someone suddenly answered,
"He is looking for a cave called, Hidden cave." They both look at the direction of that voice. And they saw Myrtle standing at their back. "Then why was he following the flow of the water?" Aubrey being confused.
"Cause someone said he must follow these stream cause it would led him to the cave." Myrtle answered. Aubrey once again asked "What's in the cave? Is he looking for treasure?" Then Zecheng this time gaves the answer, " He was searching for his lover." And look at Aubrey. At the same time Aubrey turns around to see him answering but it made them to have an eye-to-eye contact. Aubrey suddenly hears her heart beat. A dream that is way too romantic. Then the moment was break because Myrtle interrupts asking a sarcastic question.
"Why would he be searching on a Hidden cave. When from it's name itself sounds like these cave doesn't like to show up or be seen."
There was a pause for a moment. Aubrey herself was thinking silly by asking 'who was Simon's lover? what type of person could it be and was he handsome too' She could think it that way cause Simon loves pretty objects.
"Myrtle, maybe it's just a pet name." Aubrey answered and walks out from the scene. Zecheng also followed her and left Myrtle alone being jealous and sad.
The journey ended when Simon finally brings them back to the to the sea dock on Aubrey's dream town. One and Cera descends first on the boat then Onyx was waiting for Myrtle's decision. But she persuades her to go down first and she will follow. Aubrey was having a conversation with Simon about his journey. And Zecheng gaurds her. Finally, she pitied Simon's story and decides to go along with him. She was even more surprise when Simon's lover was actually a girl it's almost same to the reality of Simon she knew. The Simon who got depressed by being dump on a girl named Rutchi.
When Zecheng heard Aubrey's final decision he opposed and plead her to return on the town. But Aubrey can't just live her best friend alone on his journey. Then at the end he still follows her decision. Myrtle also decided to join excusing herself being on a Simon's shoe. In fact Myrtle has a secret plan and she knew one thing about the Hidden caves course, and that is to never swim on the Forgotten pool. Because anyone who exposed their whole body inside the water of the pool will suffer a complete loss of memory.
They then begun their journey. They meet new people and help others.
On the other hand Aubrey wakes up at exactly 6 am and has time to be ready to go school. At night the book under her pillow who just shows as her alarm clock for her sleeping hour by glowing. She would read the book to see the past events on her previous dream then forgets she was just dreaming when finally arrived on her dream land. And do adventures along with Zecheng, Simon and Myrtle. At morning she wakes up and forgets what was her dream. She was like these until the exam ended.
Her life should be fine not until, Zecheng got wounded protecting her during her passed out time. Myrtle blames her for being too cowards and acts asleep when danger was around. Seeing Zecheng lying on bed and unconscious she decided to stay there for a while. Myrtle made her promise that she would stay until Zecheng arrived. And she do it so, the book heard her call and extended her sleep by waking up at 8 am. So her second semester was a huge trouble cause she was always late on first subjects.
On the dream land while Zecheng was still on bed unconscious, they finally found the cave. Simon warns them if they wish to enter they must face first the test and hindrances of the cave to know their worh. They all prepared to enter the place. But Simon worries about Zecheng being left on the boat. So he decided to not leave yet and wait for Zecheng to heal his wound.
It took them 3 days staying in the riverside waiting for Zecheng to wake up from his coma. And when he finally does they begun their journey searching for Rushelle Simon's beloved.
