(Hoover's Pov)

"Hoover! Take my hand as we will ride this magical Pegasus to OUR paradise!" Dreaming Barley called for me. Having long, blue, elegant hair. Riding horse back on a white Pegasus. Sparkling all over them

"Yes...yes Barley! I will go with you!!" I yell to him, holding his hand. He picks me up, setting me down to his lap. As we both look into eachothers eyes while holding hands. Our faces close enough, almost about to kiss.

"But, Barley. What about our old lives?"

"Don't worry about that. Come on, old girl." He whispers to me

"Yes!!--w-wait. Hold on. Old girl?" I ask him, blinking twice. Under us, was Barleys van. Arouns is, the light pink clouds turned into black fog. Turning back to see Barley, he was kissing his van.

"We will be together forever, Guinevere!" He sings, kissing his van more.

"NNNOOOOO--"

"HOOVER!"

"NO! IT'S JUST A VAN!!" I yell out, freaking out, both arms on my shoulders. Feeling Barley shaking me to calm down

"Hoover calm down! You're you're just having a nightmare!" He yells at me, feeling my head gone dizzy. Ian thankfully stops him as I almost fall back bit was cought by Barley

"Ops, sorry I shaken you too hard. You were screaming and I got worried" he tells me

"T-thats okay. And, you were worried" I ask him, about to get off the van but stumbled. Barley holding me, he smiles down at me

"Of course. Why wouldn't I worry over my best friend?" He asks me. Looking away a little sad but smiled

"I'm sorry I worries you."

"That's okay, beside, sit down and rest from that shaking." He tells me, setting me down on top of the van. Looking around us. It was dark and gloomy

"Where are we?" I ask, seeing Ian and his dad walking over to us

"Guinevere empty, best to feed her now" Barley exaplains to me, taking out an empty gas box.

"I see..."

"Only a few drops left. Maybe if there's a gas station..." He tells us, getting on the van. Making it the van move and I on it. He gets on top and looks around

"Any?"

"Mmm, still looking.."

Looking over at Ian, sighing as he looks down at his timer.

"How much time do we got?" I ask him

"Only 20 hours." He says looking away anxiously

"Don't worry. We'll make it" I tell him, he smiles and nods but looks over my shoulder. Staring at his staff. Smiling nodding, giving him the staff as he turns to Barley.

"Is there a magic way to get gas?" He asks

"Oh! I like your thinking, young mage!" Barley says, getting off but falls on his back. Worried he might've gotten hurt bad. He stops me and stands up with a book
