Toby Robinson has once again encountered the mysterious Dreamwalker, but this time they're meeting in the real world, which is obviously freaking him out.
Toby Robinson: What the heck is she doing here?! Did she track me down?! Is she following me?! (Toby thought in panic, not able to maintain his composure)... Calm down, Toby. There's no way she's the Dreamwalker, I'm probably just overthinking this... I know, I'll use my Inspect skill. But will it even work in the real world? It doesn't matter! It wouldn't hurt to try. (Toby thought to himself, deciding to just go for it)... Inspect! (Toby whispers as he uses his inspect skill on the girl, hoping the skill works in the real world)

Toby Robinson: It is her! (Toby realises in shock)
Todd Forager: Hey buddy, are you alright? (Todd asks, noticing the pale expression on his face)
Toby Robinson: Huh? Oh, yeah I'm fine! I just thought I've seen her somewhere before. (Toby replied nervously)
Todd Forager: I highly doubt that. She's not just the new girl in class, she's also new to this country. She moved here last week from Nigeria. (Todd tells him)
Toby Robinson: Nigeria huh? And how do you know so much about her? (Toby questioned)
Todd Forager: I asked. (Todd replied with a smile)
Fred Clover: Alright everyone, take your seats! The class is about to start. (The teacher announces after rushing into the classroom, arriving late yet again)
Darasimi turns to face Lerange, leaning closer to ask the cool kid a question.
Darasimi Daniels: I heard this teacher is always late to class, is that true? (Darasimi asks)

Lerange Smith: You have no idea. (Lerange replied simply)
Fred Clover: Your tests are coming up soon, so I strongly suggest you start studying for them. (The teacher informs the class, before taking notice of Toby's presence)... What a wonderful surprise, welcome back, Toby. As most of you know he was sick last week, and I'm happy to see you back with us. I want you all to treat him with care alright, because you never know when you might fall sick. (Fred tells the class, genuinely happy to have Toby back in school)
Lerange Smith: Don't worry teach, I hear you. Toby's in good hands. (Lerange tells him with a smile)
"So Cool" (Todd and Toby both thought)
Darasimi now turns her attention on Toby, watching him like a hawk. The young dreamer isn't paying much attention to her right now, but he was before.
Darasimi Daniels: That guy, I've seen him somewhere before... But where? (Darasimi thought, still focusing her gaze on him, trying to remember who he is)
But it doesn't take long for her to remember, the sudden realization making her eyes widen in disbelief.
Darasimi Daniels: I've seen him in my dreams... He's real, he's actually a real person. I can't believe this is happening. (Darasimi thought in disbelief, a shocked expression remaining on her face)
The school day ends without any real issues or drama, and now Darasimi is walking home from school, obviously thinking about a lot.
Todd Forager: Hey, Darasimi! Wait up! (Todd yells as he rushes to catch up with her)
Toby Robinson: Dude calm down, we don't need to run. (Toby says as he catches up with him)
Darasimi Daniels: Hi, Todd... And, Toby, right? (Darasimi asks nervously, still a bit unsure of this guy)
Toby Robinson: Oh, yeah! That's me, Toby Robinson, just your average guy... Haha. (Toby replied nervously, sensing the awkwardness as well)... This is so weird, in the dream world she knew my name, but now she's acting like she doesn't know me. Is she really a bad guy, bad girl? Oh, this is so complicated! (Toby thought to himself, his worry shown by his sweaty face)
Todd Forager: So, Darasimi. We were wondering if you'd like to come with us to Boss Grade Games. It's an arcade that is really close by, and it's gonna be tons of fun, I promise. (Todd tells her, trying to act confident)
Darasimi Daniels: Yeah, I don't know guys. My mom get's really angry when I come home later than I'm supposed to... Can I get back to you on that, I need to make a phone call first? (The teenage girl asked)
Todd Forager: Sure, there's no rush. We'll be waiting right over there. (Todd tells her before gently dragging Toby away, giving her some space)... So, what do you think? Think I've got a shot with her?! (Todd asked Toby, really wanting to hear his opinion)
Toby Robinson: Well... I ... Um. (Toby could not just come up with a good response, so he just said random words)
Todd Forager: Come on, dude! You're my best friend, I really need to know what you think about this! (Todd tells him seriously)
Toby takes some time to think about this, he doesn't know what to do. If Darasimi turns out to be a bad person, then he could be putting his best friend in danger.
Toby Robinson: Look at him, with those love sick eyes and determined tone of voice. How do I tell him that the girl he likes might be a dangerous Dreamwalker. This is a classic superhero trope type thing. (Toby thought to himself, his imagination starting to get the better of him)... The hero's best friend falls in love with a beautiful girl, and everything seems fine at first, but then she reveals herself to be a crazy supervillain, whose only using the friend as a way to get close to the hero. The hero usually argues with his friend at first, but eventually makes him understand that the girl is bad news, and is just trying to destroy the world or something... I have to make Todd realize this somehow! I don't know how I'll do it, or if it's even going to work. But whatever it takes, I am going to protect my friend. (Toby thought determinately, his overactive imagination on full display)
Todd Forager: Hello! Is anyone up there, can you even hear me right now?! (Todd said in annoyance, snapping his fingers in Toby's face to snap him back to reality)
Toby Robinson: Oh, sorry about that. I was just thinking about... something. (Toby tells him somberly, still thinking about what he is going to say)... (Sighs) I honestly think you're just overreacting about this, she's gonna love you, my dude. (Toby tells him happily, his true feelings hidden behind this fake smile)
Todd Forager: Thanks, Toby. It really means a lot. (Todd tells him with a smile, just happy his friend believes he's got a shot with this girl)
