I do not own Skip Beat! or any of the characters in it. Here is a re-uploaded and updated version of Dreamers (read my profile for a longer explanation) I am going to adjust the original formatting a little bit as well as edit as necessary. (I'll leave in most of it. Even if some of my writing was a tad cringey) I will also not include the original author's notes.

The most important reason for this update is so that I can continue the story! It was stuck in on-going and I hate to do that to anyone. I know it's been 10 years, but here we go! Thanks for loving Skip Beat! as much as I do.


Chapter One: Ren's Dream/Kyoko's Side

"Kyoko, will you marry me?" Ren looked hopefully up into Kyoko's face; she was so beautiful tonight. Slowly a smile spread over her face as she unclasped her hands. "Yes!" Joy pierced Ren like a lightning bolt. He rose and gathered Kyoko into a deep embrace. They looked into each other's eyes and he leaned in for a kiss. Softly, in the background, romantic music pulsed. Suddenly it changed into a high pitch beeping. What the-? Ren thought. Then he opened his eyes.

Ren was in bed, his arms wrapped around a pillow. He had been awoken by the alarm clock as it signaled the beginning of the day. Sitting up suddenly Ren blushed at his ridiculous dream, "Dang." His love for Kyoko was getting more and more out of hand. He needed to get control over his emotions before he saw her at work that day. The best thing for it, he decided, was a hot shower. The water ran over him soothingly and it calmed his frazzled nerves. "It was just a dream." He told himself, "Just a dream..."


Kyoko sat up with a start. She had just woken up from the strangest dream... although she could not quite recall what it had been about. She could remember that it had something to do with Ren and an acceptance of sorts. She shook her head to clear her mind, dreaming about Ren-Tsuruga san, she corrected herself, was an annoying habit that had recently started. She got into the shower and let the water rinse off of all of the dream germs that she was sticky with.

The hot water felt so good that Kyoko sank into a doze, staring off into space. A misty image filled her vision; Tsuruga san was there... on his knees... and he was holding something in his hand. She squinted to try to make it out better, and the image sharpened. He was holding a box with something sparkly placed in the middle. A something that she soon realized was a ring.

Alarmed, Kyoko gasped and tried to clear her mind of the picture that she was sure had come right out of her dream from that night. The image of Tsuruga san... Ren... kneeling heartwarmingly in front of her wouldn't go away. It was as if it had been burned into her memory. With a shock Kyoko noticed that the water had run cold and she quickly got out of the shower.

Unnerved, Kyoko started to get dressed faster than usual. For some reason she felt the sudden urge to get as far away from her bedroom as possible. Mindlessly she glanced at the clock as she sped around. What she saw stopped her in her tracks. The clock read seven thirty. "Aah!" she shrieked. What had gotten into her! She was twenty minutes behind schedule. At top speed she got out of her room and tripped down the stairs. Taisho looked up to see a flurry of movement as Kyoko blasted through the shop. She was at the door in seconds, "Bye! See you tonight!" Before he could even reply she was halfway down the street.
