Night Visions
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!" Pan hissed at her mother, who was still half asleep.
"Panny, what on
earth are you doing?" She said sleepily, rubbing her eyes. "It's
2:30 in the morning! Pan stared at here wide-eyed. "I
went downstairs to get a glass of water - I couldn't sleep - and I
heard a noise. So I turned around and I saw someone crouched under
the kitchen table! I went over - being the brave person I am - and
asked what he was doing here. He didn't answer, so I came to get
you!"
Videl rubbed her eyes. "Y'sure? I mean it's awfully dark, you could have just been seeing things ... "
Pan dragged her mother through the kitchen door and motioned for her to be quiet. She started to tip-toe over to the table, quietly ... quietly ...
Videl switched the lights on. Pan stopped in her tracks, and shakily turned to face her mother. "What-did-you-do?!" she hissed. Videl glanced at the table, then walked up to Pan, who was still gawking at her.
"Pan. It's your backpack." She said in an exasperated voice. Pan whirled around and glared under the table. She turned her head upside down. "Doesn't look that way from this angle."
Videl lightly slapped her accross the head. "Don't be a smart-ass. Now get up to bed before I kill you."
Pan scowled at her, then turned around and marched up the stairs. Videl followed behind, mumbling something about "Up at 2 in the morning ... Is she insane ... ?"
Pan stopped at her bedroom door and said a quick "G'night" to her mother. Videl nodded then walked back into her own room.
As she climbed into the bed, Gohan sat up. "Okay, now what was that about?" He asked.
Videl snorted. "She
thought she saw someone under the table," she said, then told
Gohan what had happened. Gohan shook his head and raised his
hands slightly. "Whoa whoa whoa, wait, pause. Why was she
walking around with her head upside down anyway?"
Videl slapped her forehead. "I don't know," she said in a slightly annoyed voice. "Now I'm going back to sleep, and if anyone wakes me up before 8:30 I'll cut them open, wrape them up in their insides and throw them into the lake." With that she turned around and fell alseep.
Gohan stared sideways, then edged a bit away from her. He didn't sleep through the rest of the night.
