Ken Climbed up his bunked latter, "what took you so long?" Wormmon whined.
"Mom, she wanted tot ell me that she was working tomorrow." Ken lowered his tone, "Like that is something new."
Wormmon looked at Ken, "are you mad?"
"No," Ken said as he shook his head, "I am just tired!"
"Well, good night Ken!"
"'night Wormmon." Ken said as he lied down and stared at his ceiling. It was hard for him to sleep. With testing coming up, and genii closing the ports soon. Ken looked over at the clock, 10:43.
"Ken?"
Ken lifted his head and looked at Wormmon, "yeah?"
"Why aren't you sleeping? I thought you were tired."
"I am."
Wormmon lowered his head, "okay." Ken got up and climbed down his latter, "where you going?!"
"Calm down! I forgot to plug in my cell!"
"That can wait!"
"No, it can't!" Ken said as he walked to his desk and plugged it in.
Ken climbed back up, "now, sleep, or I will tie you down!"
"Alright!" Ken said as he shut his eyes.
~!!~
When he opened them, it was light. Ken sat up, but was stopped. "Wormmon!" he scolded as he fidgeted with the rope that bound him. Ken looked by his side, Wormmon wasn't there, "Wormmon?!" Ken looked by the computer, someone sat in his char. "Who are you! What did you do with Wormmon!?"
The person turned around, "Wormmon's not here, but I am!" the emperor said as he rose. Ken struggled, but he couldn't get out. "There is one thing you forgot, Ken. In your dreams, I rule." he said as he stood on the latter. "Your pathetic, you know!" he said as he stared at Ken as he struggled.
"What are you doing here, your dead!" Ken said sternly.
"No, I am quite alive. While you sleep, I wander around." the emperor climbed up a couple of more steps to he towered over Ken, "but that will change!" the emperor wrapped his hands around Ken's neck.
"Ken!" Wormmon said as he nudged him, "wake up! What's the matter?" he said as he watched Ken pull and tug at his shirt collar.
"Don't expect to escape this one!" the emperor said as he laughed.
Ken was able to slip his arm out and smack the emperor off the latter.
"Ken! Wake–" Wormmon was smacked by Ken and sent down onto he floor.
The emperor jumped to his feet as he saw Ken fade out, "till we meet again."
Ken sat bolt upright as he gasped for air. Wormmon cowered under the bed, afraid of coming out.
"Just a bad dream," he said lowly, "just a dream."
Ken looked back at the clock, 6:45. He climbed out of bed. To tired to think.
Ken walked out into the kitchen, "Ken, dear, your up early!" his mother said as she picked up her purse. She walked towards Ken, "are you okay dear?" Ken nodded. She took her wrist and put it to his head, "dear! Your burning up!"
"I am fine!"
"Go back to bed! I will call your school!" she said as she walked to the phone and called the school. Ken rubbed his eyes, he was so tired. It felt like he was awake all night. "I am staying home, no way you–"
"No! Go to work! I will be fine!"
"But–"
"Don't worry! Dad will be coming home from work at lunch before he goes back, okay?"
"Oh, fine! But call me if anything comes up! Okay?"
Ken nodded, "alright."
"Okay, bye! And lock the doors for me!" she said as she left and Ken locked the door behind her.
Ken sat down on the sofa and sighed, "I only have to not sleep!" he said to himself. Ken grabbed the remote and turned on the t.v..
"The Sleep Clinic was opened," Ken changed the channel, "the Sleep master 2000," Ken changed it again, "My sleep number–" Ken turned off the t.v. and threw the remote. Ken rested his head back and thought on what he could do to keep himself awake. Ken yawned and shut his eyes.
"Welcome back!"
Ken opened his eyes and saw the emperor holding an umbrella. The emperor swung it and smacked Ken across the face. Ken looked up at him, "what? You surprised?" Ken picked up the tray and smacked the emperor with a loud THUD. The emperor got to his knee's, "you would want to be careful. If you kill me, your body dies!"
"Then wouldn't the same thing apply to you!" Ken added.
"No, see, now I am in control of your body. I only have to get you out of my way. Then I will be in full control," he said as he walked closer. Ken held up the tray as he backed up, tripping over the footstool. "You are so weak, you will never amount up to me!"
