It was a silent night.
DJ and Rosey were the only ones up.
Rosey was holding the baby.
"For some strange reason, I remember looking up and seeing my mother when I was first born." said Rosey, then began to cry.
She put baby Miller, Jr. in his crib.
"Stupid fire." cried Rosey.
"I'm sorry, sweetheart." said DJ, hugging her as she cuddled up to him. "Don't get all worked up about it. You had a baby today and you need a lot of rest."
"I don't know if I can be a very good mother." said Rosey.
"Rosey, you'll be a very good mother... swell!" said DJ. "I have faith in you. I'll help you out with him. Why don't you get yourself into bed?"
"You're such an affectionate husband." said a girl's voice behind him.
He turned around to see the silhouette of a dragon, leaning against the wall with their legs crossed. Glowy green chinese eyes stared at DJ. Normally, they were purple, but they glowed neon green in the dark.
"Fuego?" asked DJ. "I thought you were asleep. What are you doing up?"
"I can't sleep, DJ." said Fuego. "I'm afraid of dragon slayers."
"I don't know what to do, Fuego." said DJ. "No one gets things around here. As long as no one sees you, you're okay. The farmer's been gone for a while and we haven't seen some crazy nut in a long time."
"Will you take me on a walk?" asked Fuego. "It's for nothing more than friendship."
"Okay." said DJ. "But I gotta stay faithful to Rosey."
On the walk.
"Why do you want to be here on this walk?" asked DJ.
"I heard about your nightmares and I thought there might be a way you could help me." said Fuego.
"You had nightmares like that?" asked DJ.
"Yes." said Fuego. "It's almost as if we're living on Elm Street. Somehow, without Freddy Krueger."
"I wonder something." said DJ.
"I'm going back inside." said Fuego.
"Okay." said DJ and watched her walk off then looked to the side.
A glowing golden watch lie on a wooden fence post.
'Send it straight to hell.' thought DJ.
A huge hole appeared in the ground and DJ threw the watch in it.
Annabelle appeared.
"Mission accomplished." said Annabelle.
"Why do you actually come to Earth? You didn't with Charlie and Itchy." said DJ, curiously.
"There are now ways in which only certain people can see me." said Annabelle.
"What's that have to do with anything?" asked DJ.
"One time, the dog catcher caught me and put me in the dogpound." said Annabelle.
"I see." said DJ. "Can you tell me about my nightmares and your movie, Final Cut?"
"I based Final Cut upon the nightmares." said Annabelle. "Other people have had nightmares like that back then too."
"I heard you tell me my nightmares were over." said DJ. "Thanks, siss."
"You're welcome." said Annabelle. "A terrible war will break out between monsters and the mortals. Be prepared."
She went away.
"Hey, wait!" said DJ.
Creatures came to DJ.
He got his lightsabers out.
