A Very Whimsical Dream

After Ballini had changed into her pajamas, she settled down in her living room with a lovely steaming cup of herbal tea as her two imps; Odette the Cygnette and Clara the albino Phloof kept her company. Clara curling up in a cute little ball on her head while Odette nested in her lap as Ballini sipped her tea to relax with a small smile.
"Tonight has been wonderful, my dears. The performance was stunning and the audience LOVED it. Dan was sweet to give me two boxes of the mochi and they were absolutely delicious weren't they, dear Clara?" Clara bounced a bit on her head in agreement and Odette shot her a look
"I know I know I'll get you something less sweet next time, Odette" she chuckled "I just have to finish this tea to wind down then we can go to sleep yes? I do want to see the fireworks but I doubt that will happen" she yawned almost as if prove her point and Odette fluffed up their delicate wings in agreement.
"I should sleep in my bed but this sofa is so soft and-" Ballini yawned again as she bent over to put the mug away before carefully leaning down the sofa to rest with Odette shifting to nesting in the little alcove her curled legs made as Clara curled up by Ballini's head. Soon. She was fast asleep and dreaming.

Over the spacious night starry sky outside the Burrowgatory, Ballini was floating along with her eyes closed and her imps snugly around her. As the night sky shifted into soft fluffy white clouds surrounded by stunning blue with soft pinks and orange gradient sky. Ballini soon cracked open her eyes only to widen them in surprise as she found herself nestling in a soft cloud. Somehow she managed to prop herself up on her elbows and scanned the area. She was immediately reminded of the meadows she had been transported during that time she was helping Jackal out. Clara hopped off and Ballini had to hurry after the phloof with Odette flying behind her. Soon she found another doll fast asleep in another cloud. A sloth with dark hair and ears was snoring away and Ballini took note of very much barebones outfit consistenting of only shorts. It was black with patterns that strangely resembled the slumbering spirit motes that accompanied the sloth. It was adorable and yet he seemed so familiar to her. Ballini slowly settled into a nearby fluffy cloud to watch the slumbering sloth. He looks so at peace in this meadow and Ballini had to wonder if they were truly in the very same meadow from before. But. The sun. It did not feel so overwhelming. Then the male sloth cracked open his icy blue eyes and Ballini gasped as she recognized him. Asmodeus. The venue she so often performed at would hire him from time to time to be security. As Asmodeus turned his head in her direction, Clara abruptly fled with Odette in hot pursuit. Ballini squeaked in surprise before scrambling to her feet and chasing them into a cloud. Asmodeus noting that they were gone, simply returned to his sweet slumber.

As the dancer floated fell through the clouds and slowed down into a gentle float surrounded by her sweet Phloof and aloof Cygnette, she looked around the whimsical fields below her. They were full of soft yellows, baby blues, ivories, mint greens, rosy browns and dusty beiges. The ground were shimmering in amethyst purple and emerald green. The trees were curved and bending in ways that Ballini doubted was even possible. There were even floating patches of islands in the sky which had the dancer confused as she landed on the soft plushy ground. As she wandered she came across an incredibly sweet and playful sloth doll dressed in adorable pastel overalls and licking a star lollipop. She spotted Ballini, giggled and skipped over to link arms with her. Ballini yelped and both Odette and Clara followed as she was dragged into skipping with the cheerful sloth.
"Hello hello! I'm Fionna. You are?" "Ballini...."
She was bewildered as they jumped into the air and hopped across the curving trees. Was she dreaming?? There were....creatures? That resembled what she had read during her research regarding that feather?? Several that looked eerily similar to the imps in Burrowgatory? Then Fionna stopped and held Ballini's hand high up so she could perform a lovely pirouette as sparkles and glitter flew upwards from her spinning foot. The glitter soon whirled up around the pair almost as if enveloping them in a tornado. Then Fionna gently let her down, guided her towards a curving cliff before pushing Ballini off. She fell, fell and fell into soft plushy pile of pillows.

Clara shuffled around before nesting in the crook of Ballini's neck and Odette fluffed up their wings before resting once more in her legs. Ballini's breathing remained even and rhythmic until well into the morning.
