The next morning, as usual, I woke up confused. Well, I thought I woke up.

"Oh man, I accidentally fell asleep at Kenai and Koda's place. I hope they're ok with it." I said to myself.

I got up, stretched, and looked around. Kenai and Koda weren't around. Where'd they go?

"Now where have those two gone?" I asked myself.

I wrote a note telling Kenai and Koda where I had gone in case they ever came back.

I went back to my dorm.

"Merida? Are you here?" I looked all through the rooms. There wasn't a sign of anyone.

I went screaming through the hall ways looking for a sign of life, but there was no one.

Finally, I heard voices.

"It's ok dearie, you're not alone anymore." I turned around to see Mother Gothel, Boogie Man (from Nightmare Before X-mas),Pete (from Mickey's world), Adka, Turbo, Aunt Sarah, Prince John, the witch (from Brave), and a little owl that looked a lot like Exordion.

"What? You're villains stay away." I backed away.

They came closer and looked at me with their evil looks.

I tried using my powers, but they wouldn't work.

"I'm doomed." I said to myslef.

I started running away.

"Get her!" Mother Gothel Ordered.

The little owl flew up and head ahead of me and stopped right in my path.

Mother Gothel and the rest caught up and stopped.

Gothel raised her hand and I did as well.

They laughed maniacally.

"Let me go!" I screamed.

They just kept on laughing.

"Nowhere to run!" They kept telling me.

I kept screaming, "Let me go!"

Suddenly, everyone and the hallway warped around me into sudden darkness.

I woke for real this time gasping for air.

I breathed heavily as I checked myself making sure I was there.

It was still dark, Koda and Kenai both were still fast asleep.

"It was just a dream." I whispered to myself.

I went back to sleep.

I woke up again from the same dream, but luckily it was morning.

My hair was a mess, I had bags under my eyes, and I was still tired.

"You ok, Haley? It looks like you didn't get much sleep last night." Kenai was slightly concerned.

"No, I'm fine." I yawned again.

Later that day I went to my classes, but I fell asleep in every single one of them. When I did, I kept waking up from the same nightmare.

Later that night, the band went to our first practice.

Ash offered to carpool, so I decided to hitch a ride with him.

I fell asleep in the car, but I woke up again. Once again, it was that same nightmare.

"Haley, are you ok? You don't look too good." Ash was worried like Kenai was that morning.

"I'm fine, just don't talk to me!" I was getting cranky from the lack of sleep.

"You look sleep deprived." Ash said.

"I said don't talk to me!" I told him again.

Our first practice started out with a meeting with the judges.

"We have some news for you about the soon to come competition." They said.

"There's one band that you must look out for. Their known as the Meanies." We chuckled a little bit about the names. "The name may sound funny, but the musicians aren't. It's made up of eight characters, and one major villain. Mother Gothel, Boogie Man, Pete, Adka, Turbo, Aunt Sarah, and Prince John, and The Crafty Carver A.K.A the Witch. Exordion's son, Jukiave, is also in the band."

We all gasped, especially me. Every single one of those characters were in my dreams. I felt sick to my stomach.

I rushed to a garbage can and threw up a little bit. After I was done, I groaned a little bit.

Ash was more worried than he was in the car. He grabbed my arm and took me outside.

"What's going on with you? First, you look so tired. Two, you're extremely cranky. And three, you're like this." Ash demanded an answer.

"Every time I close my eyes that's all I see. That band the judges told us about. I can't sleep a bit without them coming into my dreams." Ash saw my eyes starting to fill with tears.

"What's wrong with Haley?" Koda walked up next to us.

"Things, a lot of things." I told him. Tears started to fall from my face.

We went back inside of the building, and Ash got me to lie down.

Ash explained to everyone what's been going on.

"There definitely something very wrong going on here." One of the judges said. He walked over to where I was laying down.

"Haley, I want you to sleep and tell us everything that goes on in your dream." The judge told me.

I shook my head quickly. I was terrified to go back to sleep.

"Please, once we know what's going on, we can help you." He said comforting.

I was still unsure, but I agreed.

I laid down and fell asleep, and the same nightmare occurred.

Outside of my dream, everyone was waiting for me to wake up. Suddenly I started screaming.

I screamed as if someone was murdering me.

"Wake her up!" Ash demanded.

"No, keep her asleep. We need to see what happens next." The judge said.

In my dream, more happened. More than what happened in any of the dreams that I had dreamt that day.

After everything disappeared into darkness, I stood there panicking.

The villains reappeared again, "We have your friends." Exordion's son opened up his wing to show shrunken versions of the band.

"Why are you doing this? Stop please!" I screamed.

"If you want them, just come get them." They told me.

I rushed towards them.

Suddenly, the tiny figures grew into monstrous versions of the band. Even Ash was monstrous like the others.

The only one that was normal was Koda.

"Haley!" Koda ran towards me.

Meanwhile, everyone was still waiting.

Koda was watching, too. Suddenly, he had a funny feeling. His eyes started glowing yellow.

Everything was black for Koda, but he saw me horrified.

"Koda!" Kenai shook his little brother, but nothing got him out of the trance.

"Stop, he's become part of the dream." The judge said.

Back in my dream, Koda and I were running from the beasts.

I couldn't take it anymore, so I finally woke up.

Koda came out of his trance.

I sat up and gasped for breath.

Tears started streaming down my face.

The girls gathered around me trying to calm me down.

The guys gathered around Koda asking him what had happened.

"It was just pure darkness, and monstrous versions of all of you chased us. The evil band had done it to you. What does it mean, judge?" they looked at the judge.

"I'm not sure but the rest of us judges will figure it out. Meanwhile, you go back and practice. Here are your songs." The judge gave us a pile of papers that had our music on it.

Practices were finally going to start.
