The DReAMers Pt. 06

"Home again. Home again. Jiggidy jig."

I slowly opened my eyes to see Kiwo standing in front of us in the void. I blinked and tried to focus as another small figure appeared at her side.

"Hello Harry," said a cheerfully smiling Lucy.

Beside me, Kira began to stir and quickly sat up with surprise as her friend gave her a shy wave, "Kiwo!" she gasped as both sims held hands and did a little happy dance in front of us.

"Why are you here?" she asked as she got to her feet.

Kiwo stepped forward. "Time to wake up, Kira J and Harry," she whispered, "Time to wake up!"

The time machine floated above the green grass as it began the process of waking its sleeping passengers. Above all else, its one mission was to protect those within and ensure their survival as they emerged onto this new world somewhere in the new Universe.

There was a soft hiss as the canopy slid back as Kira undid her safety harness. We were both still wearing our pilot suits and I glanced at her as we both stared out across the landscape of our new home. In front of the ship, Kiwo and Lucy were running around laughing and playing as Kira checked the initial readings on the console with the time machine collecting and streaming the environmental data in real time.

"Alright?" I asked her.

She nodded. "I think so. Pressure and oxygen ratio appear to be within safety limits. Readings show substantial variations of terrain with abundant vegetation and other basic forms of life."

Kira turned in her seat and raised her eyebrows as she watched me undo my helmet and take it off. I slowly drew the first breath into my lungs and held it as I closed my eyes. The air was pure and fresh as a warm breeze swirled gently around the ship. Above us, a young sun sat high in the sky with the shadows of at least two other planets in orbit around it.

"You first," I smiled at Kira as she removed her helmet and shook her long hair free, "Your name should be the one to go down in the history books. Pity we don't have a flag." I grinned as I watched her climb out of the time machine as Kiwo and Lucy stood there automatically recording the event for future historians.

It was Kira J, a time traveler from the Sixty-ninth century who was the first human to set foot on this world as she turned to look at me as I got out to stand with her on our new home we decided to call Eden.

Somewhere over the rainbow.

Dreams are the places we go to experience the impossible. We are all dreamers and have been since the beginning of time until its very end.

This was the story of two special DreAMers who wanted to dream a little more.

The End.
