Chapter 7: Nightmare

Snowball dreamed. But, her dream had turned into a nightmare! It all went back to the day Icicle beat them up, but Snowball had found out bad news. Pengu was in the hospital! Snowball drove her truck through the pouring snow to the hospital. She walked in and asked if she could see Pengu. "Pengu what?" The lady asked. "Damn it, what was his last name?"

Pengu had never told Snowball his last name. "He checked in this morning at 5 am with bad face cuts. "Oh, Pengu Waddler, he's in Room 980." Snowball kept it stuck in her head, "Pengu Waddler. Pengu Waddler." She looked at the room numbers. She was in the one hundreds. She found an elevator and went to floor 8. That's where Pengu's room had to be.

The elevator brought her up and opened the doors. Snowball sprinted to room 980 and opened the doors. She saw a woman crying, probably his mother. She walked over to Pengu. "Is he okay?" Snowball whispered. "Who the hell are you?" The woman asked. "Pengu's girlfriend." "Oh, he's, he's…" She didn't finish her sentence. I looked at the monitor. It wasn't looking right… Snowball tapped the nurse's back. "What's wrong with him?" She asked. The nurse turned around with saddened eyes. "He's dead."

Snowball fainted, and then everything came a blur. She woke up crying. "Oh, it was just a nightmare." Snowball sighed in relief. She looked at the clock. It was 6 am. She got up and stretched. She grabbed her toiletries and took a shower.

She turned the water on warm and rubbed shampoo in her hair until it became a big mop of bubbles. She rinsed her hair and added conditioner. She hummed to herself quietly. Then she washed her body until she looked like the abominable snowman with all the bubbles.

She rinsed off and stayed in the shower for a little bit. The warm water relaxed her muscles. She then turned the water off and wrapped herself in a big warm fluffy towel. She splashed some water in her face and grabbed her robe. She put it on and went to her room. She put the towel in her dirty laundry bin and checked the time. It was 6:20. She got dressed and went back into the bathroom to brush her teeth.

After brushing her teeth she realized her hamper was overloaded. She went downstairs to do the laundry. She checked the time again after finishing the laundry and getting on some clothes. It was 7 am. She walked downstairs and made pancakes for herself. She sat at the table with her breakfast and milk.

Her mother walked downstairs all ready for work. "I will see you later sweetie." She kissed Snowball's forehead and walked out of the room. Snowball finished eating and watched some TV. At 9 she decided to go down to the dojo. She walked down and noticed a penguin who looked a lot like Pengu walking to the ninja hideout. "Wait up!" Snowball called. "Snow…" The ninja was Pengu.

"You became a ninja and never have time for me anymore?" Snowball growled. Pengu quieted me down. "I saw you the other day in the dojo. You didn't even bother to notice me!" He protested. Snowball was furious. "That's it, we're through." "Fine." Pengu stormed away. Snowball walked into the dojo trying to cool down.

She walked into the dojo and spent the rest of the day avoiding Pengu. She walked back home to find her mother walking out of the house. "Hi sweetheart, how was your day?" "I broke up with Pengu, or at least we're in a fight." "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that but I have to leave." She walked into the car and left. "Bye." Snowball murmured, but she was long gone right now. She ran into the house crying, even her own mother didn't care.

She spent the rest of the day watching TV until midnight when she finally went to sleep. She put her blue belt on her belt rack that she had bought before she started going to the dojo. She went onto her bed and closed her eyes. She had had a rough day, and she needed a rest. She quickly fell into a peaceful sleep.
