HERP DERP.

Continuing this story is really amusing to me, because now my other story has changed a lot ... so this is essentially another reality of another reality ... of another reality ... ?

... lol.

ANYWAY, I hope this amuses you as much as it does me.

WickedIntentions: YESSSSS. THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO. Oh my gosh, when I first thought of this, I was like "OLOLOL," and I only hoped that others would feel the same way. SO YESSSSS. XD ... and as fair as a pairing; I doubt this is going to be romantic at all, just silly and weird and making ze doctor uncomfortable by putting him out of his element. Because come on, who doesn't want to make him uncomfortable? X3

M3D1C101: Ja ... JA ...!

DancingInTheSand: He's just a MEAN FACE. Because he is. And we love him for it. :P And I believe she would have preferred Dempshey ... He could've fit in MUCH better ... c; ... She could probably sell the ray gun on Ebay for a KILLING ...

What: Don't worry, my dear anon. I don't see Richtofen as a pedophile at all. Creepy? Of course. Even Nolan North says that the way he gets into the Doctor's character is by thinking of: "Every dirty thought. Everything that would send you to prison, and make nuns and children run." So, that's how I portray him.

Between Two Realities
A "Between Dream and Reality" Spinoff

CHAPTER TWO

noch lächerlicher
"Still Ridiculous"

"Hey, Mom!" I said, too brightly, stepping out to the top of the staircase.

She was down by the front door, looking up at me. "Hey honey," she said. "Are you finally done playing that game? I thought you said you were bored of it." She sighed. "I don't understand why you want to shoot those things anyway. Don't you have something better to do with your time?"

Had time even passed here?

"Um, yeah… My Xbox broke," I muttered, glancing quickly at my closed door. Maybe I could completely avoid exposing my unexpected guest from the game in question. "I can't play it anymore at all, actually."

"Good," sighed my mom. "Maybe you can finally get something productive done."

I twiddled my hands. "What are you guys up to today?" I asked, trying to sound casual and failing miserably.

My mom's eyebrow quirked. "Nothing," she said, picking up on my weirdness. "What are you up to?"

"Nothing," I said, too quickly. "Just … maybe hanging out with friends or something."

"Oh," she said, thoughtful. "Who? Josh?"

She hated Josh. It would explain why I was acting weird, so I jumped on it. "Maybe," I muttered, acting ashamed. "He invited me out with some friends, I don't know."

She sighed. "I don't like him," she murmured. Understatement of the century. "But it's your life, your choices."

"Kathy!" bellowed my dad, peeking up at me from the side of the staircase. "If you don't go out with your friends, you wanna go to the gym?"

I bit my lip. "Maybe," I lied. "I just have to take care of some stuff here first…"

"Okay," said my dad, disappearing into the kitchen. "Just let me know."

"And let me know if you end up going out with Josh," my mom added, shooting me a knowing glance.

I rolled my eyes. "Okay, mom," I murmured. "I'm going back into my room."

She nodded, vanishing somewhere downstairs.

Heart pounding, I opened the door to my room.

The doctor was sitting on my bed, amused.

"How do zhey believe you?" he asked derisively. "Zhat vas extremely unconvincing."

I clenched my teeth together. "Please, just … stop," I hissed. "And keep your voice down. I'm going to see if I can just sneak you out of here or something."

"Und vhere vould I go?"

"I don't know," I snapped. "I just need to get you out of here so I can go pretend to find you."

"It vould have been much simpler to mention my presence a moment ago," he muttered.

"Yeah, and I could go ahead and take my head off with the ray gun while I'm at it," I grumbled.

His eyes flashed. "Zhat vould be interesting."

I frowned at him. "You cannot talk like that anymore."

"I vill talk however I please," he hissed. "Shtop issuing commands."

"If you say that to someone on the street, they'll call the police," I snapped.

"Kathleen?" It was my mom, downstairs. "Are you talking to someone?"

"No, Mom," I yelled. Richtofen winced away from my voice. "I'm watching a show on the internet."

"Could you turn down the volume or something? I can hear all this mumbling down here."

"Yes, Mom," I shouted, making the doctor wince again.

"Vhy are you so loud?" he hissed, pressing fingers against his forehead. "Und vhy must you answer to zhem anyvay? You are an adult, ja?"

"I'm twenty-one," I muttered.

He narrowed his eyes. "Vhy do zhey control you?"

"Because I live under their roof," I hissed. "Now let's think about how to get you out of here."

I walked over to my door, cracking it open. I could hear my dad watching TV downstairs. Loudly. There was no telling what my mom was up to, though. And much like the doctor, she could somehow see everything. The minute I walked out into the front yard to grab my car, she'd look out the window and everything would fall apart.

I tiptoed over to the hall window, to peek out into the backyard. She wasn't out there, which meant she was either reading or cleaning or doing something else that would result in my capture. If only there was some way to convince her to go out there, or better yet, leave the house completely…

"Hey honey," she called, addressing my dad, "Did you get our prescriptions from the pharmacy?"

"No," my dad shouted from the other room, over the loud volume of the television. "I can do that later."

My heart leapt. Come on, mom. Go do it now. You know you want to.

Sure enough, she sighed. "Can't you do it now?" she asked, frustrated.

"I just want to finish this game," he yelled. "I'll do it after."

My mom's shoes tapped through the house. "Forget it," she said, "I'm going to go get them. I have errands I should run anyway. Maybe go get some fabric from Middleton's, or head out to Nicely and get some shopping done." My dad grunted from the other room.

"I said I could do it later," he repeated.

"I'm going," she said, and I heard the door open.

Problem solved.

I twisted back into the room, snatching my purse from my desk. "Come on," I hissed, grabbing the doctor's arm.

"If you pull me around one more time, I vill hurt you," he growled.

"Okay," I gasped, flinching away. "Then follow me. Quickly. And quietly."

We walked slowly down the stairs. I could hear my mom's car driving away down the street, and my heart rate immediately slowed. I opened the front door as quietly as possible, wincing when the lock clicked loudly. Luckily, the TV seemed to drown it out, because I heard my dad yell something at the game. I flung the door open and pushed the doctor out onto the stoop, causing him to glare daggers at me.

"I'm going out, dad," I shouted, jumping out and slamming the door behind me. Then I grabbed the doctor's wrist and dragged him down the front yard to my car.

"I vill have to hurt you now," snarled Richtofen, sinister.

"Shut up and get in," I snapped, unlocking the passenger door and opening it. He stared.

"Fascinating," he whispered.

"Get. In," I hissed.

He glared back at me, but he stepped into the car.

I slammed the door shut on him and ran around to the driver's side, jumping in and starting the car as quickly as possible. "Come on," I grumbled, waiting for the engine to kick to life. I glanced up at my front door. No one in the windows to spy on me. I put the car in drive and fled away down the road, doctor in tow.

He was staring out at the passing landscape, mystified. "Zhis vehicle is incredible," he murmured. "So smooth und comfortable."

"This is the future of technology," I grumbled, turning onto another street.

"Vill you tell me vhere you're taking me now?" he asked, still calmed by his interest in the car.

"A coffeehouse," I muttered. "It's a good place to sit and talk and try to figure all of this out."

He pursed his lips. "Zhis sounds satisfactory," he muttered, reluctant.

My eyes widened, and I glanced at him for a moment. "You like coffee?" I asked.

He scoffed. "Of course I enjoy coffee."

"Well," I chuckled, turning onto a four lane. "Then I guess we actually have something in common."

Hehehehehe...

I think I'm probably STILL more amused by this than anyone else is gonna be ... ... hurrrrrrrr de derp.

BUT, you should tell me what you think! ... Because ... I LOVE IT! :D

Ze Doctor Says: "I am not amused. Shtop zhis at once, or I vill have to KILL YOU ALL."

Reviews bring him JOY!
