I see small flashes of familiar scenes play in my head, accompanied by voices.
("Do you want more people to get hurt?")
("I hope you kill yourself so we're all finally happy.")
("Congratulations, Niles… You've my blood on your hands…")
("I know your type. You're a Timid, aren't you? I could tell by your speed, how little your Quick Attack did… You probably can't even handle spicy foods, can you? Pathetic.")
-
I snap awake and my eyes pop open. Registering what happened, I clench my teeth and huff. "I'll show you who's timid…" I roll onto my side and try to go back to sleep.
(I'm, of course, dreaming. In my dream, I'm walking down the beach by myself. I simply walk down the shore looking for anyone else when suddenly, I drop through the sand. I struggle to stop myself but I keep falling...well, more like being sucked down into it...I suddenly emerge from the sand and land on a hospital gurney in the middle of some sort of lab. I find myself strapped down to it.)
(I look around and see that Serris and Khmalidze are around me. Khamalidze puts a helmet on my head and I suddenly realize that they are trying to forcibly pull knowledge about human objects out of my mind. I struggle to break free before they turn whatever this helmet is attached to on. Just as Sudeaux is about to flip the switch, I just manage to break out of the gurney, bring the shocked Serris and Khmalidze beside each other with my antennae, and stick the helmet on both of their heads instead. The switch is flipped.)
(The helmet activates and Serris and Khmalidze are comically shocked. I turn to make my escape, but then I notice that the electric shock is actually melting the two together and turning them into something, to my confusion. The shocks stop, and suddenly I realize that the two have turned into Merqury. He throws the helmet off and begins lumbering toward me menacingly. I back away, but hit a wall that suddenly appears behind me. I'm trapped. He raises his arm up to strike me like he did before. In self-defense I quickly punch him in the stomach with one of my antennae.)
(A huge rip suddenly opens on the Chairgon's stomach. My jaw drops in shock. The rip spreads all the way around Merq's waist. He reaches down to the rip and begins pulling his own skin upwards and off like a shirt. When it comes off, Ripley is revealed.)
Thank you, Goobert. (She says as she pulls the rest of the Merq...suit, I guess, off (heck, I don't even know anymore) and flies off. I'm confused, but relieved. I turn to go, but then I suddenly realize that I'm now standing at the edge of a cliff. I quickly spin around and grab a tree that has suddenly appeared right beside me. I look at my surroundings and see that I'm now atop a very skinny and rocky spire in the middle of the ocean, the top of it big enough to only hold the tree that I'm currently clinging on to.)
Hey, Goobert! Rise and shine, kid! (Benji says.)
(I wake up suddenly. I'm back in mine and Delilah's bed in the Bedsheets. I should have figured that was all a dream from the start...for some reason, though, I still feel like I'm hanging on to the tree. Then my eyesight adjusts and I suddenly realize that I don't have my arms wrapped around a tree. Instead, they are wrapped around Delilah, who is still asleep and smiling.)
(I gasp and quickly pull my arms away, embarrassed. I pull them away so abruptly that it wakes Delilah up, too.)
Yawn... Good morning, Goobert. What's wrong? (Delilah asks, sitting up and yawning. Then she realizes that a thin ring of slime is going around her upper chest and back where my arms were wrapped around her.)
...Oh my gosh, Delilah, I'm sorry...I-I...I was...I had no idea I was doing that... (I stammer in embarrassment as I quickly jump up and out of the bed.)
I-It's all right, Goobert... (Delilah says, looking down still.) You didn't realize you were doing it...
(Both of us seem very embarrassed by this.)
(Marsha yawns and wakes up.) Hoo boy...I feel so much better now! (She looks at us, particularly at mine and Delilah's embarrassed expressions and the slime on Delilah.) Uh...what's goin' on? Did you guys...
No, Marsha we didn't. I just...kinda woke up with my arms around Delilah without realizing it... (I explain.)
Yeah, sis. I'm up here behind them. I'm sure I would have noticed if it was more than just him wrapping his arms around Del, just sayin'. (Benji says. Delilah and I look even more embarrassed.)
Uh...let's just see if anyone else is up, okay? (I say quickly. I turn to everyone else.) Morning...did you...did you guys hear all of that?

"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."Finley wakes up, finding herself in a bed with Mila. Trying to remember what put her here...
"... Oh yeah. Andy gave us this place for some reason." She looks to Mila.
"Are you awake?"
I'm Huney B now. Okay?Or something as strong as that... (I remark.)
Hey, are we gonna get everyone else up so we can get outta here? (Marsha asks, stretching.) Can barely hear myself think in here, and we aren't even in there anymore...
"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."Mila takes a while to get up after hearing Finley's voice, though when she finally opens her eyes she can't help but notice that she's curled up into a ball and still holding on to her necklace.
"Oh, yeah... I'm awake. Finley, I'm sorry for stressing you yesterday, it was what I did that made you snap, it's my fault."
I need to update these things more oftenAndy, seemingly not faltered by a sleepless night, is at the epicenter of the crowd, singing solo:
And it's not very haaaaard to see WHYYYYYY, EVERYBODY!
"NOOOOOO OOOOOONE'S SLICK AS THE TICK, NO ONE'S QUICK AS THE TICK"
Clearly Andy knows how to take advantage of a room of drunks.

Huzzah"No, no... stop stressing, okay? We're all fine now. I love you, Mila." Finley gently scratches the back of Mila's ears, hoping to calm her.
I'm Huney B now. Okay?

Yeah.
