Thank you refreshingbeverage for the review ^^
Sandy, Mr. Krabs and Plankton
Rick landed once again outside the house but on the grass this time. Muttering to himself Rick walked down the dark street and began to wander toward Calliegh's house. She had a small white condo with a few palm trees in the yard. Rick felt bad about violating her personal space but decided to go inside anyways. The inside was decorated neatly with modern furnishings but it looked lived in.
Rick moved up to her bedroom and eyed the sleeping blonde appreciatively before hopping into the dream cloud. Rick felt himself immediately falling and he screamed his lungs out as he plummeted towards the earth. His fall caught him up to a falling Calliegh who was delighted to be sky diving.
"Calliegh what are we doing?" Rick shouted. Calliegh turned her head up to him.
"Stetler what are you doing and where is your parachute?" Calliegh yelled back.
"What?" Rick yelled over the roar of the wind.
"Where is you parachute?"
"Para what?"
"Para-" Calliegh yelled but was cut off when she fell into a tree. "medic."
Rick screamed and he fell into a lake and out of the dream cloud. He landed in Calliegh's living room.
"That's it, no more messing with people's dreams," Rick muttered and went outside. He walked through the suburbs a little more and came to Eric's house. Two hummers were sitting outside it. "Who is Delko sleeping with?" Rick asked himself with a devilish smile and went into the small messy flat.
He navigated through the small hallway and into Eric's bedroom. Eric was sound asleep next to Natalia Boa Vista. Rick made a disgusted face and walked over to Eric's dream cloud.
"Really Boa? Couldn't you have found a real man? Wait what real man would want you?" Rick laughed and knew they couldn't hear his insults. He jumped into Eric's dream cloud and landed in water. Rick sputtered the salty water out of his mouth and looked around the vast expanse of water. A speed boat rocketed up to him and Rick grabbed the low side and heaved himself inside.
"Stetler get out of my boat!" Eric yelled and swerved to try to dislodge him.
"Hey! I'll fire your ass!" Rick yelled.
"Stop making empty threats, this is a dream," Eric scoffed. Rick opened his mouth but couldn't come up with a comeback. Eric laughed at his confusion and took the boat over a high wave. Rick screamed and held on. It was then Eric's turn to scream before they hit a reef and Rick went flying out of the dream and over part of the city.
"Oh shit this is going to hurt," Rick groaned and fell into a condo by the ocean. He landed in the living room and it took him a second to let the pain subside and he sat up. It was nicely decorated but had a masculine touch. It had wooden floors and a staircase that led up to the bedroom. Rick figured he should leave but curiosity kept him there. He walked up the stairs and through the locked bedroom door. To his surprise this was Horatio's house and the troubled lieutenant was in a fitful sleep. He looks kind of cute when he's asleep, Rick mused at the tousled red hair.
The dream cloud above him was literally black. Rick looked at it with distrust and wondered what he would see if he went inside Horatio's subconscious. Rick knew the red head had a very troubled past. He shrugged this off and jumped into the cloud. Rick landed in a dark alleyway. He navigated through the shadows and heard gunshots. Rick instinctively ducked down and peered around a corner. He saw Speedle get hit and fall down with blood pouring from his shoulder.
"No!" Horatio yelled and ran to his fallen friend. Rick shook his head In horror and watched Horatio sob over a still Tim Speedle. Rick heard Horatio scream again and saw his body jerk as he was shot as well. The nightmare ceased and Rick fell out of the cloud across Horatio's legs.
The breath was knocked out of Rick's body and Horatio yelled and jumped up onto his pillows with just boxers on his pale form. It was then that Rick realized he was solid and he fell off the bed. The two men looked at each other in complete shock and confusion for a minute.
"What are you doing here?" H asked quietly.
"I honestly have no idea Horatio, I'll leave now," Rick said hastily so he wouldn't get beat up.
"No I want you to stay," Horatio said and lowered himself back down onto the bed.
"You what?" Rick sputtered thinking he was hearing things.
"I want you to stay, we haven't talked in a while," Horatio said.
"We just talked the other day Horatio," Rick said.
"That's not us talking, that's work talking," Horatio said calmly and stepped off the bed. "Come with me." Horatio said and headed downstairs. Rick shook his head in disbelief and followed him.
