A/N – This is the follow up to chapter 24. I did say that Swan Lake would come back to haunt Loki. And here it is.
Chapter 25 – Project Swan Lake: the subsequent nightmare…
It was the night after the terror of watching Swan Lake Barbie version five times. Loki had staggered to bed, slumped under the covers and fallen asleep almost instantly.
At first, the dream had been blue like a TV screen.
Then the blue color dissolved into…a very…lurid shade of pink.
It was a terrible shade of pink. The kind of fluffy, dreamy children's party pink. It was terrifying to Loki who associated himself with dark black, royal red and gleaming gold.
And then in his dream, the screen panned out so that Loki could see himself. He was standing in a delicate gazebo, surrounded by a lake and…and…and…dressed…in what could only be called…a pink ballet tutu.
Loki screamed.
And woke up. His chest heaved heavy breaths as he gasped for air. The dream had been too real.
Loki crawled out of bed, planning to go wash his face or get a glass of water. But then as he pushed aside his covers, his pillow fell down and his eyes caught sight of something.
Loki screamed soundlessly as he fell to the floor on his knees. He bowed forwards in silent prayer with both hands on the floor.
"Why me?" he sobbed. "Why me?"
Because under his pillow…was the Swan Lake DVD.
Blue-ray version.
A/N – Gotta have the best quality right?
Pft, I like this chapter. You know what they say: that if you put something under your pillow you'll get good dreams or something like that. In this case, I guess it's the opposite. Poor Loki. Can you guess who put the DVD under his pillow? And as promised, one more chapter after this~
