Neru sighed, leaning the balcony of his home. "Ahh… I never thought about it before, but… this place is so peaceful," he uttered under his breath. He kept thinking about it, and he was right: this place was very peaceful, like it or not. He looked out at the vast areas surrounding his home. "Nice homes… and no money, so we don't have to pay for anything… All the luxury we Abstracts could ask for. Nothing more, nothing less. And how colorful it is too… Wow." Neru went back inside, and headed up to his room. The ceiling of his room was covered in glow-in-the-dark stars of different sizes and colors. He turned on a light he had by his bed and a shower of dotted lights covered the ceiling along with the stars. "I guess it's time for bed."

No…no no no wake up! Aster glanced around and shut his eyes tight. It had to be a dream. A crazy fever dream. He had to out cold or something because if this was real..no. he'd wake up eventually in his room, probably just fell asleep doing homework, that's it. He took a deep bresth, the room smelling if honey and vanilla. At least it wasn't a nightmare. He stood and looked around, seeing white whisps floating against a navy blue sky fill of constellations and so many stars, far more than what he could see back at home. Ultimately deciding this was a good dream, Aster started to walk around, quickly discovering that the floor was soft and cushioned. Such a weird world he had dreamed.
"Hello? Is anyone there?!" He found it odd that this dream didn't have other people in it, Aster usually had dreams that included other people. He called out again, a bit more desperately to see if anyone was around. "Please no…" He whispered, feeling his hands shake slightly

Neru didn't hear the other call out at first, but when he called out a second time, it alerted Neru. "Huh. It's nighttime now- Who's yelling like that at 3 A.M.?? They probably last track of time, since it's always sunny here. Ugh, I'll go see." Neru got up from his floating bed and dashed out the door, looking around. "Yes?? Hello???" he called out in response to the shouting, trying to get the attention of the person who was causing all the ruckus. "It's 3 A.M., could you please tone it down a smidge? We're trying to sleep here."

Aster whipped around when he finally heard a response, trying to pinpoint where the disembodied voice was coming from. "Wait please! I-I'm sorry, but I think I'm lost? …or I'm dreaming. Please, I just want out. Or at least someone to talk to while I can wake up." He looked around, the bright colors and stunning appearance of this works Maki g him dizzy. "Where are you?" He asked, hoping to god this wasn't an Alice in wonderland type dream. "I-I'm aster!"

"You're not dreaming, bub- This is all real. You're basically stuck here. Though, it's not that bad. If you were dreaming, then all of us Abstracts must be dreaming too. But clearly that's not the case. Anyhow…" Neru walked toward the sound of Aster's voice, eventually finding Aster and heading toward him. "Welcome to Destia, home of the Abstracts." The blueish-white in is eyes sparkled in the 3 A.M. sunlight. "This a small, joyful little planet. How you got here, I'm unsure, but I think you'll like it. Now, off with you. We Abstracts need our beauty sleep. Well, at least…. some of us do. Not all of us are very beautiful, I mean… the half of us are mannequins. I'm not, but I have met a few. Not the most joyul fellas- Wait wait, no, scratch that. Go on now!" Neru ran off, heading back to his home, which happened to look like a giant red-and-white mushroom with windows and doors built into it.

"abstracts?" He whispered softly in confusion, planet?" He turned and saw a boy, seemingly close to his age. He tilted his head slightly, seeing hat he was blind. "Wait did you say Mannaquins? Wait please, I don't know what this place is or how I got here but I can't…" He stopped short, not wanting to say what was on the tip of his tongue. He wasn't alone, clearly, but he wasn't sure he ever wanted to meet what the other..creatures were like. He ran after the boy to what Aster assumed was his home. A mushroom? He had to be dreaming… No one could possibly live in a mushroom…" Aster slowed to walk as he came closer "wow, this is beautiful.." he breathed, reaching out a hand to touch the walls of the home, expecting them to be squishy but finding them quite solid.

Neru had already slammed the door shut by the time Aster got to his home, and he sighed. Suddenly, a high-pitched ringing noise blared throughout the little town, though the mannequin folk couldn't hear it. Neru swung his door open. "Damn it… The alarms!" Neru yelled, not noticing Aster whatsoever. Since he was blind, he couldn't really tell that Aster was even standing there. "Why are the alarms going off?! It's only 3 in the morning!" Nery said, exiting his home and shutting the door behind him. He began heading toward another house, this one shaped like an upside-down diamond. "King Melanus must know what's happening… He's usually the one who sets off those wretched things!" he exclaimed, now storming toward the diamond house at full speed.

Aster nearly crashed I to Nery as he made his way out of the house. He covered his ear and looked around, really not wanting to dodsomething out what the Hell was going in but seemingly having no other choice. Not wanting to stick around to figure out what the alarms awoke or meant, he followed Neru to the oddly shaped house, would seeing if the magnificent home was made out of real diamonds. He looked over at Neru and tilted his head "uhm, I do that think I got your name before." He said, more yelled, over the ringing of the alarms. He hoped the Mannaquins didn't come, he really hoped this was a good dream, despite what the other said about this being a planet or whatever.

"Mhh, you again- I'm Neru. Now go on, I thought I told you to be on your way," Neru said, pushing open the door to the King's house. With a furious tone, he shouted, "KING MELANUS! GET YOUR SORRY ASS DOWN HERE AND TURN OFF THESE DAMNED ALARMS!!" ANd down came King Melanus from his stairway, looking peachy-keen as ever. Slicked back purple hair, a black and white suit with a red tie, and a crown upon his head bedazzled with all different kinds of gems. Sapphires, rubies, etc. "Oh, well hello Neru. The alarms? Oh, dear me… I dunno who turned them on!" exclaimed Melanus, dramatically flopping back onto his couch. "Stop lying… You're the only one who can turn these things on!" Neru seemed to have a personal connection with King Melanus, because frankly, nobody else would dare talk to a king in this manner, let alone King Melanus.

"Neru…I-I'm Aster..I-" he jogged after the man and followed him.into the Diamond home, at a loss for words when he saw just how beautiful the place was, truly more like a castle for for a long than a house. "I-I'm can't go, I don't even know where to go please-" he was cut off once again by Neru's yelling. He flinched and took a couple steps back. He watched as the king decended the steps, much younger than he expected and far…prettier than he expected. Aster shook himself slightly and watched as the two intwracted, wondering if Neru was somhow related ti the king. He knew he certainly would never soeak to a king that way, even if his alarms were annoying

King Melanus began fake-sobbing. "Agh, Neru, you're so harsh sometimes!" the King exclaimed once more, receiving an annoyed groan from Neru. "Well, enough chatter, turn them off!" Neru yelled. Melanus rushed to turn the alarms off. "There, I did it!" Melanus said, hoping Neru would stop shouting. Neru did, which calmed Melanus down. "Geez, for a 15-year-old, you're really such a badger." Neru glared at Melanus, and Melanus sweated quickly before taking that comment back. "You really oughta be professional about this, Neru. If people find out you've been treating me like this-" Melanus began before being cut off by Neru. "I know, I know. It's just… It's weird being the distant cousin of a King. And an immature one at that."
