"Three spoon full and you'll be asleep forever."

-Futurama

After the story, the three remained silent for a few hours. They stopped, once or twice, to get gas. Each time, one of the soldiers would walk over to the back and ask if they wanted something to drink. No one was thirsty, so the answer was always a no. But it was still a long, bumpy, and drove Zev to the end of his patience. But at the very end, the temperature had started to drop and only Mac really noticed the cold air. Their main source of light from the sun through the tapestry had vanished as well. When Mac had mentioned it, Kalli opened one of the curtains to show a dusty road that was kicking up dirt and a pitch black sky with white specks.

"We must be getting near," Kalli said as she closed it up again, "My stop shouldn't be far, I'm just wondering where they are taking you guys." But Mac was barely paying attention. His eyes suddenly just felt heavy and his vision started to become blurry. With almost no light, everything got very dark and eventually all black. Mac had fell asleep. The rest was a dream, Mac knew it. Everything went from black to white, but their was no main source of light. Mac didn't feel tired now, but he wanted to continue to sleep, that is what he wanted in his dream. He'll wake up when they got to their destination, he knew it. Suddenly…

"WAKE UP!" A wooden stick whacked Mac across the back of the head. Mac quickly opened his eyes and turned around. A man wearing a white kimono (Mac called it a old dress for guys) That was held up by a black cloth. In his hand was a small fan with wooden strips holding the red cloth that closed with ease. He wore a large straw hat that covered his eyes. But Mac didn't recognize the man, not at all. "Good, you're awake," the man said.

Mac looked at him, trying to remembered. This didn't seem like a dream now. "Who are you?" Mac asked.

The man gave a short chuckle before replying, "Although hard to believe, I am a Pokemon. But this is a dream so that shouldn't be hard to believe right?" The man continued before Mac could say anything, "Listen here human, and I know you aren't human, I've been watching you in your dreams and I am personally not satisfied."

"Wait," Mac interrupted the man, "If you've been watching me, then who are you?"

"Again, I'm just a Pokemon. But if you are so curious, I'll tell you. My owner had a child who couldn't sleep well at night. So, I did my best and enter the dreams of the child to make a perfect dream. But after a while, the child started to sleep soundly by himself. So, I started to go around while others were asleep and bring them a good night. How could I do it? I'm a Ghost Pokemon, I can easily move to placed around the world.

"But it just so happened that I met you some time ago. Interested by your first untouched dream, I started to see what you dreamed. (You'll be surprise what you can learn from a person's dream.) And personally, you're an idiot," the man then placed his folded fan at Mac's face, "I'll give you credit, you don't whine like a baby where grown men would. But you need to remember about everyone. Not just you or a few others, but everyone you are responsible of."

"What do you mean?" Mac interrupted again.

"You might be surprised by how much damage you cause just to get into comfort. If you aren't careful, it just might kill ya'.

"Sigh, dreams always happen quickly. My time is up, so I'll let someone else make the music for you. Then perhaps you'll see something." Seeing the opportunity, Mac wanted to ask another question. Instead, his voice seemed to become mute and a black fog started to swallow everything.

"Mac… Hey, Mac… Brother, wake up."

It was then that he finally awoke in the real world, not some dream. Mac's head was on the seat, Zev was shaking his shoulders. "You're finally awake! The soldiers are dropping off here, they said that this family has been trying to help out others like us."

Groaning and standing up, Mac noticed that Kalli was already off and a soldier was at the opening. Mac and Zev got off the back of the jeep and saw quickly what Zev was talking about. It was a tall house, Mac could tell in the darkness that there was two floors, but it was squared shaped and each floor didn't look like they would have many rooms. At the front of the wooden doors, a man and a woman wearing night robes stood there. The man approached the soldier and asked, "Are these the two?"

"Yes," the soldier replied. The man gave a bow before the two soldiers got in their jeep and drove off into the night. That left Mac, Zev, Kalli, and the two humans alone in the dark.

"Let's get you two inside and beds," the man offered them inside.

The woman then said to Kalli as she passed by, "Your room is still in the same spot."

Kalli nodded, knowing what they were talking about. So Kalli has lived here before, Mac kept silent, surely the place was completely safe if Kalli had lived there without a concern.

Inside, the lights were off and everything was dark. "Watch your step," the man whispered as the woman and Kalli left somewhere in the darkness, "The floor rises on your next step." It did, as Mac took a step, he could hear a soft echo as he foot was only a few inches higher above his right foot. Mac could see some shadows of objects in the room. The wall was to their right and went out a ways before making a corner. Two couches were in the corner and a wooden wall stood out from their far left. Two shadows were at the corner wall right across from the room to them. "Let's go," the man whispered, walking through the darkness to the left shadowed hall. Mac and Zev followed. The steps went up, going upstairs. The stairs enclosed between two walls was enclosed as it turned around to face the room again. Once in the upper room, the man still guided them through a hall to the left. There was no light down there, all Mac could see around him was frames on the walls and closed doors. Was it an adoption center? There seemed to be so many rooms in the entire house that it could hold tons of people.

They finally stopped at the second door, at the end of the hall. The door was opened and the lights were turned on. It was an empty bedroom. Small, but there was a closet with the door open at their left. Two beds, the nicest ones that both Mac and Zev had seen for a long time now. The sheets were the normal white sheets the two had seen all of their lives with a quilt with random designs and blue coverings over them. A window was between the two beds and was too tall for even Mac to be eye leveled. The walls were a textured old white with brown carpet. "We'll get you two something tomorrow. But it is late at the moment, five in the morning," the man said, leaving them in the room.

It was late. The two didn't hesitate to go to bed. Zev took the right bed and was already asleep before Mac could turn the lights off. But Mac didn't sleep at first. He was thinking. Wondering. Now wishing out of envy…
