Chapter 4: A Foreshadowing Nightmare and Some Sad News
Around the time Joey is watching the game, Dash is sleeping in his room, In his dream or to be more accurate… he views something scary and has no idea what is happening
Dash: What's going on? Why is the town on fire? Joey, Mari, Where are you?
He sees Joey and Mari lying on the ground and goes closer to them
Dash: Joey, Mari, Are you ok? (hears no response), No this can't be, no, no, Why? (sees the kanji symbol) What's this mark on my hands? Why am I glowing red?
(Wakes up it is 6:30AM)
Dash: Aaaaahh
Joey: (Drops workout shoes and runs to Dash's room) Dash, are you OK!
Dash: Yeah, I just had a nightmare
Joey: You want to talk about it?
Dash: No, I don't want to
Joey: I understand, but don't think about this too much, you have a big test today and an even bigger day ahead of you, also Mari and I don't want you worry too much about a simple nightmare, these things happen in life.
Mari comes walking into Dash's room tired and worried
Mariposa: Are you two ok?
Joey & Dash: Yes
Mariposa: Ok good, I heard Dash scream and I woke up walk as fast as I could
Joey: Did he scare it scare it out?
Mariposa: No, he didn't scare me enough. It is now, oh 6:35! School doesn't start for another hour, so let's have breakfast early today.
Joey: Fine by me. What about you Dash?
Dash: Let's do that
After breakfast Dash did some more studying to get the nightmare off of his head, while Joey was still figuring out how he was going to tell his wife Mariposa that the town needed him to go into the forest and look for rebels again. Then he had an idea.
Joey: Mari. Do you mind if we go to our room? I want to talk to about something important privately so that Dash doesn't worry more than he has to.
Mariposa: Okay. (walks up to the room) So what is it?
Joey: I don't know how to explain it but, the town needs me to go back into the forest and look for rebels.
Mariposa: Why now? I'm six months pregnant and we have a family in place. But it is better to be safe than sorry so I think it's best for you to go into the forest and go "Rebel Hunting".
Joey: Really
Mariposa: On ONE condition
Joey: What is it
Mariposa: You stay in one piece for when the baby comes.
Joey: I will, thanks Mari for giving me your thoughts
Mariposa: You're welcome, Joey. Now if you excuse me, I have to bring Dash to school
Dash: (knocks on door) When is Mari bringing me to school?
Joey: Right now Sport. Good luck on your test today
Dash: Thanks Joey.
(One Week Later)
Dash: (Comes running home) Joey, Mari, I got a 98 on my test!
Mariposa: Congrats, Dash!
Joey: I knew you would do well, Nice Job, Sport.
