My younger cousin Ko and I were walking through my neighborhood at night, when suddenly fireworks violently streaked overhead. A stray firework collided with a nearby house’s roof and began to burn. I took out my phone to call 911 as we approached the house. For whatever reason, it took me many attempts to actually succeed in dialing the three digit number. I told the operator the issue, and asked to be directed to Fire Fighters. She told me to please hold, then the line went dead. We went up to the house to tell the residents directly. In the window by the door was a girl sleeping on a desk. We knocked on the door, waking the girl, who had eyes more akin to anime eyes. It was unsettling, but before we could react, a man with a larger than normal smile answered. We told him about the fire, and he thanked us before closing the door. Ko and I walked back out into the street and looked back at the house. The fire was gone, and in it’s place was a burn mark. ~~~ We continued down the path. At the end of the street there appeared to be some sort of event or party. With a large group of kids around my age blocking the street. We tried to squeeze past them, but they began to harass Ko. Protecting him, I began to fight one of the members of the gang. It wasn’t easy, but I managed to get on his shoulders and beat him down. At some point, I managed to grab ahold of a staff to help me beat back the crowd. During the fight, several streaks of fireworks set off from beside a nearby house, each one directly hitting the house. Unlike the previous house, this one began to burn instantly. I tried to reason with the gang, but they insisted it was fine. An old lady left the house as the fire spread. She seemed to command the gang, and called herself the “commissioner.” I asked her if this fire was set intentionally and was safe, she said it was. Taking her word as truth, I spun the staff and pushed through the gang, leaving with Ko continuing further down the street. ~~ The dream gets fuzzy from here on now, but here’s what I remember: The street began to change from my actually neighborhood much more drastically than the dream’s layout prior. The right side of the street sloped down, and at the end of the slope was woods with large trees (pine?) that aren’t like the woods actually surrounding my neighborhood. We met a group of ninja and a woman with violent green hair (I think??). The Ninja and I infiltrated a building by sneaking at the bottom of the hill and the border of the woods. We entered the building through a window on the ceiling. That’s about all I remember.
