Chapter 1
Anger is a state of Mind


My name is Akiko Maui. I live in Colorado. Right now I am getting ready for my Girls Night Out with Naiomi, Misao, and Lily. I just finished getting dressed. Now I am going to say good-bye to my mom. "I'm almost done getting ready, mom. I should be leaving in a few minutes." I called down the hallway."Akiko I need to talk to you." My mom called back."Okay, be right there." I said, a little confused. I grabbed my purse, and walked into the kitchen.As I did so, I saw my mother holding up my math test from Tuesday."You can't go out tonight, Akiko. You got a 76." My mom said to me."It's not that bad, and I have to go out. My friends and I have been planning this for MONTHS!!!!!" I shouted, feeling angry and annoyed."Your not going out. Go to your room.Now." She said."Fine." I said. I knew that I wouldn't be able to win that fight. I went to my room and shut the door. I am still angry. I texted my friends. It turned out that Lily couldn't make it either so we all just decided to re-schedule. I lie down on my bed, wishing I could live in a perfect place. All of the sudden, I was in the air. What is happening?!?!?!?!? Then, I started to fall. I started screaming, but I heard no sound. This has to be a dream I thought. I was getting closer to the ground. Is that Flowers? This must be a Dream. Then, I hit ground. Ow, How did I get a Paper-Cut from a Flower? Oh, their Paper. They are Pretty, and Purple. I Looked up. Wow, what beuatiful skies. The skies are light Purple. I like this Dream. But usually when I dream, I don't know that I am. Oh well. Whats that? I hear music. Like a Lullaby. I look up again, Pink Clouds. And they are.........Singing?!?!?! Wow, I like my Dream-Land. This is my field of Paper-Flowers. These are my Purple Skies. These are my Candy Clouds of Lullaby. I lay down in my Field of Paper Flowers. This is Perfect. I wish I could stay here Forever.I can find no end to my Field. All of a sudden I look up and see a Creature heading towards me. It is Brown and Read. With Purple Eyes and a Blue Nose."I have come here to warn you, Akiko. I am an animal called:Stella. My name is MoMo. See, you have entered the world of Dream-Land. This is a very, very bad thing. You see, There is no end to this Field Of Paper Flowers. And you must go back to the real world. This is no dream. This is per say, a Nightmare. And you have to left, no matter how perfect this wonderful world is. You are leaving behind your family and friends. You entered this world when you lied down on your bed. You didnt fall asleep, you fell down a Portal. In order to get out, you must find a way to stop the clouds from singing their Lullaby." said MoMo. How did I know that MoMo's words were true? What is she is lying? Have I really left reality. OH NO. It all makes sense now. Falling through air. I was falling through the Portal. And I could feel the Paper-Cut.In Dreams you cannot feel anything. But, How will I make the Clouds stop singing?"How do I stop them?" I said to MoMo."You Must travel this Field untill you find the place where the flowers stop. Then you must climb the air to the clouds. And find the Magic Music Box thats controls the sweet music. Then you must turn it off. In doing so the clouds will turn White and you will have entered back into your own world. Then you will fall through air and back onto your bed." said MoMo."But this Field is ENDLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How am I supposed to find the end of and Endless Field? Endless, as in Has No End!!!!!!! And how do I climb air?" I said to MoMo." I have no idea. Just travel and eventually you will find an end. Or perhaps a new begging." Said MoMo."Will you come with me?" I asked MoMo."Yes, I am destined to help you." she said. I am so confused. How long will it take? Will they miss me at home? Will this all turn out OK? Will I survive with no food or water? All I knew is that I had to get out of here. I thought it was so perfect but it is an imprisonment."You have no need to eat or drink here." Said MoMo. Well, that solved one of my problems."Which way?" I said."You tell me." MoMo said. Why did this have to happen to me? I just wanna go back to a few minutes ago, before I knew any of this.I turned around."Onward!" I said. I started walking throw the field, MoMo bouncing along behind me.
