The moment dwarf-like ears found the word ‘Karaoke’, Olimar’s feet were up and ready to go, not a single cent of hesitation in any of the spaceman’s steps as they got closer to his double.

It was just a normal day. Isabelle was sitting in the Town Hall, pencil and pen moving over paper after paper, getting her work done, with the reoccurring person coming into the building, be it for a Public Work’s Project suggestion, or just to say hello. Hearing the sound of the door’s bell ringing once more, Isabelle’s head brought itself up, putting on a smile for the new guest.

“Hello! Welcome to the Main Offi-” She started, but soon cut herself off at the sight of an unfamiliar face. Moving her items over to the other side of the desk, her smile’s intensity turning up by 20%. 

Isabelle was rather shocked that neither of them couldn’t tell what all of the spooky hullabaloo was about from just looking at it. She thought it would go without explanation, but maybe they didn’t celebrate Halloween in space?

“Oh, well it’s for Halloween! Well, more of the month Halloween is in. The actual event isn’t until the end of the month, but the moment October takes September’s place, it’s officially time to take out the pumpkins and fake spiders.” She said, picking up a large black and red rubber spider off of her desk and showing it to the space man. 

It wasn’t often Kirlia went off on her lonesome, but walking off to the town’s lab, the door to the house started to glow a bright purple before it opened on its own. Walking through, the place looked pretty empty when it came to people. Well, except for the single man in the room, who had been seated at a table. Louie, if she was recalling Isabelle’s words correctly. And actually, if that was the aforementioned Louie, he would be the perfect help in Kirlia’s little mission. 

She ran into the room and turned to look up towards the man, eying the food he had sitting on the table in front of him. Isabelle was hungry, and it was Kirlia’s duty to find something tasty for her to eat. This Louie person could always find more, correct? With a quiet speaking of her own name, the food on the table gained a purple hue as it lifted itself up, off, and over to Kirlia’s side. 

Walking Sylveon was always one of the enjoyable parts of Isabelle’s day. She would always meet some nice people, and even Sylveon herself had made a few friends. But at this time, Isabelle felt a tug on her ribbon wrapped arm as the Pokémon’s blue eyes looked up to her own pair. Suddenly, both of them were in a blind sprint, and after the sudden burst, they had stopped behind a person with a large set of brown hair, along with a Vulpix walking next to them. Sylveon immediately began using a free ribbon to tap the fox to try and get their attention. While she was doing that, Isabelle quickly spoke up to the boy in front of her.

The little dream realm she had found herself in several of nights before had been a reoccurring dream, and Isabelle couldn’t be happier about it. It was rather saddening to go to sleep and not have the dream about her purple jester-like friend and the beautiful landscape accompanying them. And this had been going on for a couple of nights now... Hoping that she got the same dreams as before, Isabelle started to lay down, properly finishing the day off. A drowsy smile filled her half-conscious face as the sound of a water fountain filled her ears, and stars shined brightly above her.

The moment she felt stone on her back instead of fluffy bed, her head popped up, excitedly looking around for her friend. Instead of finding them, she didn’t see much at all. If anything, she realized how lonely the Dream Gate was without anyone but herself around. She was about to call out the name flying around her head, but the sight of eyes not too far away looking at her caused those words to hold still. Isabelle got herself up, walking towards the gray figure, a smile already up on her face, paws waving hello.

It wasn’t often she liked to do this, but last night didn’t prove the best of sleeps. Many defeated sighs had to have been heaved before she gave up, but Isabelle eventually found herself walking to the Roost in search of a pick-me-up cup of coffee or two so she can continue work properly. Walking in, her eyes had been next to shut from exhaustion, and the calm, tranquil music playing through the Café’s speakers. Coming up to the To Go counter, Isabelle opened her eyes to start ordering her cup.

“Hello! Um, could I get a Mocha with three spoonfuls of...” She started, but her words slowly dwindled to nothing as her eyes opened, previous bags under her eye seemingly disappeared once they realized the person taking her order was the Mayor themselves.

Well, this had certainly been new. At first, her head had been put down on a feather-filled pillow, and now it was resting on stone? She had been in her normal sleeping position, but instead of her bed on Dragon Roost, rocked tiles replaced the cushion. She quickly got up, her head and body spinning as she took in the entire place. It was actually quite nice! It reminded her a lot of the nights she would go out and practice her harp playing. Her mind started to casually think on the few similarities to this place and Dragon Roost, but stopped short once she saw the sight of something rush past her line of sight above. Wherever it was going, high above the ground, they stopped. Medli wasted no time, seeing how her arms were replaced with white bird’s wings, allowing her to take to the sky. With constant flaps of the wings, she kicked off of the ground and made way for the person watching her.
