I was at a playground talking with two guys about my age. It had just started to get dark. One of the guys was talking about how he didnt know if he really wanted to join the FBI but the other encouraged him saying he would be great at it. My best friend showed up and we started playing that we were space explorers like little kids would do. We also played superheroes. It almost seemed like we started to have the powers we were pretending to have, but I chalked it up to imagination. It was a bit strange but really fun. We didnt get to finish before all of our parents came and were really disappointed in us. One of the guy's mom said that documents and contracts were legally binding even in dreams. I already knew this and was upset she thought I didnt. I went home with my dad explaining that we did nothing wrong. The next day I went to a school and it was dark and overcast. I ran into the two guys who's names I forgot. We agreed to meet up again and I said I'd invite my friend again. I was at home with my brother and dogs. Suddenly I saw creatures of darkness outside and told my brother to grab the dogs and come hide in the garage. While seeing shadow creatures were rare, darkness had become commonplace. Some villain had made the days shorter and overcast since their power thrived on darkness. As my brother and I got into the garage, there was a man in there. He told us we needed to hide behind a certain wall in my house to be better protected. My brother immediately went to hide where the man said but I stopped him and asked the man what he really wanted. He said he came to take my brother and I to see why we were immune to the darkness. I had no idea what he was talking about but I said I'd go willingly if they left my brother alone. The man agreed, saying only one was enough. As we walked outside, there was another man who followed us to the car. I got into the passenger's seat. After we were a considerably distance from my house, I grabbed the steering wheel and tried to make us wreck. He slammed on the brakes to stop the car and I jumped out my door. I didnt get far before the other man tackled me and drug me back to the car. We continued driving until we reached the school I attended. I was to stay here, attending like everything was fine until they got the call to bring me to wherever else they were taking me. The main man then put a red thin bracelet on me that I couldn't take off and acted like a tracking device. After students started coming in, I used the cover to find my new friends and my best friend. I told them what happened and that I thought we needed to go back to the playground. We all ran there knowing I'd be followed shortly after. We each focused really hard on what powers we pretended to have and after saying something, it worked. We each had on new outfits that concealed our actual identity. I ripped my bracelet off and flew off to confront the man with my friends close behind. Luckily the man had no idea who I was and we had a pretty epic fight scene. He had a whip made of darkness and I could throw small balls of light. My friends worked on dispatching these shadow creatures/robots that the other man was controlling. They both ended up retreating and once they were gone I used my power to clear up the sky and make it sunny. My costume magically went away and I went inside my friend's nearby house to find out that they had started to try and find out where the darkness guy went.
