"Sorry I'm late, Sensei!!" Umeko bowed a bunch of times. Sensei was started by the total bust in Umeko made during his class to beat the 10 minute limit.

"I-It's all right, Umeko-chan. The nurse just told me that you were in her office. And she said that there's a new student?" asked Sensei. "Oh well, care to bring and introduce him?"

 
The whole class was curious and Umeko walked to the door and grabbed Taka's arm to pull him in.

 
"You guys, this is Taka Shigorama. Say hi, Taka-kun," Umeko smiled widely. Some of the classmates said hi while others whispered.

 
'She's already calling him 'kun?' ... I guess he's not so bad then. I mean, she doesn't even call any of 'kun.'' whispered the kids in the back.

"All right. We can all introduce ourselves to Taka-kun later. You can take that seat next to her, " said Sensei.

"HUH?! He has to sit next to me too...? This is starting to get weird,' thought Umeko. She hadn't had anything sugary to eat so she was quiet and bored as she rest her head on her palm and stared out the window. Her mind started to drift as she began to Daydream.
~~~~~~~~ (> '_ ')> ~~~~~~~~

Umeko started to Daydream... and realized that it was unlike anything she dreamt about. She was falling towards a vast open field and had no ability to fly whatsoever to save he own life.

 
"WHOA! HOW THE HELL AM I FALLING?! I'M FALLING!!" she just realized that as well as she flailed her arms around, wildly. "HELP!!"

Her cry was answered as a rider on a fluffy Dragon came by. The Dragon flew under Umeko in time and caught her. Still shaking, Umeko tried to sit upright. Sensing she was trying to do so, the Dragon slowed down a bit. Umeko held on to the rider's waist and tried to look at her face.

"Thank you sooo much for saving me!" she breathed in gratefully.

'That's the second time I had to be saved. What is up with me today??' Umeko asked herself.

"No problem. All in a day's work for a Dragon Trainer, like me, to save a person in need," she said happily. "Kuru, descend please."

Kururu obeyed happily and quickly descended behind a dense bunch of trees. The skies were growing darker and Uotani started to create a mini bonfire.

"WHOA!" Umeko said in surpise.

"What? It's just a fire..." said Uotani, poking her fire with a stick. It caught fire so she threw that in as well.

"No... I know it's a fire. But... my clothes! They're different now!" Umeko said, looking at all the new style she received.

Indeed her clothes had changed. She now wore a thin, pearl white, trench coat. the sleeves were see-through but the edge was pearl white. The mid-section was see-through as well as the edge of her coat. Her top, white, was a tank top that ended in plede (idk what it's really called X_X) and a white ribbon tied at the back kept her figure and showed through. For her bottom she wore semi-tight shorts that reached her mid-thighs. Connected by four strips was a white leg warmer. On her right leg was a loooong strand of white ribbon wrapped around her leg many times downward with a bow tied at the end. White kickass boots came along with the outfit.

"... That's the way I saw you when you fell... hey.. what were you doing falling? Don't you have a dragon?" Uotani asked.

"No... I don't even know how I fell here... but where is here?" Umeko asked.

"What? This is the World of Sonoto... at least, it used to be," Uotani sounded distant now as she stared into the fire.

"Oh no! Uotani-san!"

"Hmm? !! What the!? What's happening to you?!" Uotani asked. Umeko was disappearing. Her hands and legs were see-through.

"I don't know! The only thing I remember before coming here was... Daydreaming!.. Uotani-san! Wait for me okay??" Umeko asked as she completely disappeared.

"Kay!!" Uotani called.. unsure if Umeko heard it. Kururu looked confused. "I know boy. I am too."

~~~~~~                                                      <(-_-<)

"Umeko-chan! Pssst! Umeko-chan! Wake up!" one of her friends whispered. Sensei noticed Umeko Daydreaming because of her vacant look, but thought better to call on her this period because of what happened this morning.

Umeko was startled and sat upright, bolting. She breathed harder as if a bucket of ice cold water poured down on her. This time, Sensei took notice.

"Are you all right, Umeko-chan?" Sensei asked. Taka glanced at Umeko without turning his head.

'That was the most vacant and longest look I've ever seen in a girl. It was like she was really somewhere else,' thought Taka.

The day went by as Umeko showed Taka every class he's supposed to be in. At lunch, Taka got to meet a lot of Umeko's friend and they seemed okay.  By 7th, she showed Taka where his class was without her. Finally the day was over and Taka and Umeko walked out of the school after getting their shoes from their lockers.

"What was up with you this morning?" Taka asked in a slight curious tone.

"I don't know. All I remember is Daydreaming and then suddenly... I was somewhere else," said Umeko.

"Well yea.. that's what Daydreaming is," said Taka shifting his eyes the other way.

"No! I mean like, I was actually, physically somewhere else! I wore this cool new outfit and... and then I was saved by the Dragon Trainer girl named Uotani and we talked for a bit... she said I was in the World of Sonoto and before I got to ask anything else about everything, I disappeared..." finished Umeko.

"Whatta story. You disappearing meant that you've snapped back to the reality, duh," said Taka. Umeko scrunched her face.

"I know that. I'm not a dummy... >.<" sigh. You remember you're street right? Okay, well, I'll see you then," Umeko said, trying to remain happy but was too confused.

"Kay..." Taka said, letting his voice drift as he zoned out. He then remembered. "Oh and thanks for introducing me to your friends. 'Preciated that."

Umeko smiled. "No problem. Always there to help a new buddy."

Umeko then waved and ran towards Kisho's school to pick him up.  Kisho saw his sister and waved to her as he caught up with her.

"You won't believe the day I had, Onee-san!!" said Kisho in excitement.

"Hee wait till you hear mine," said Umeko as they started to race home. Umeko waved by again to Taka as she raced by him and the two turned the corner.

'Hmmm... she's going down the same street as me,' thought Taka and walked his own pace home.
