Author's Note: I have decided to write two different stories based on two different books. This one is based on the children's Just A Dream by Chris Van Allsburg.
Summary: If you've ever read Just A Dream, then you know that the book is based around the character Walter. Walter is a litter bug who thinks that the future is going to be wonderful. When Walter goes to bed the bed takes him to the future. The same goes for this story except I'm going to use Jackie. Jackie thinks the world revolves around her. So when she goes to bed, the bed takes her into the future. Takes place during the sixth season in between episodes one and two. Most of the story will be in first person.
Sweet dreams can solve the future
Sweet dreams provide the past.
Everyone has had them before. They're those weird things that you just can't explain. They wait for you to go to sleep before visiting you. Sometimes there malicious and other times they're thought provoking. They can make smile, frown, and even cry hysterically. Dreams are what haunt our thoughts every night; no matter who you are. I don't know where to begin. I guess I should begin at the beginning; that's probably the best place to start.
Summer was coming to an end and I hadn't told anyone about my decision yet. I was going to wait awhile longer. It wasn't like I hadn't picked anyone. I had picked someone. I might be a bitch but I know what I want and when I want it. I thought they knew that. They should have been more considerate of my feelings. They weren't and I soon found out.
I didn't expect much from Kelso. He has always been like that. I will however never forget him. I was with him for a very long time and during that time I love him deeply but he didn't love me enough and now I see that. As for Steven, it's so hard to tell. Sometimes it seems like he cares deeply but then when things get tough he gives up.
After I told Steven that I picked him, he just blew me off. No one blows off Jackie Burkhart. If anything I blow people off; it's in my nature. I proved that this summer. I was sitting in my room when I heard Donna's big feet come up the stairs. She seemed to be a little mad. Eric must have pissed her off I thought; but, it wasn't Eric she was mad at, it was me.
"Jackie I know that you picked Hyde and I knew that he blew you off; but Jackie there was no reason to leave a nasty note on his door. You're lucky that I picked it up before he got the chance to look at it." Donna said.
"Donna, that was for him to look at. Why can't you ever mind your business?" I asked her in anger.
"Donna he's the one that's going out with some slut. He deserves everything that he gets." I said to her.
"Jackie if he sees this note then you probably won't be able to reconcile your relationship with him." Donna said.
"What happens if I don't want to? My future is going to be so perfect. I really don't need Steven around. I'm going to be quite happy by myself." Jackie said.
"Jackie you say that now; but, who know how happy you'll be in ten or twenty years from now." Donna said.
"Donna my future is going to be perfect. I mean what could possibly go wrong. I'm going to have such a good life with or without Steven Hyde." I said to her.
"Jackie you'll one day thank me for this talk." Donna said.
"Yeah right whatever Donna." I reply.
"So what are you going to do now?" Donna asks me.
"I don't why?" I ask her.
"Well, Hyde's over there right now. You could maybe talk to him." Donna said.
"Um...actually I think I'm going to go to bed right now. I'm kind of feeling a bit sleepy." I said.
"Jackie you can't avoid him forever." Donna said to me.
"Yes I can." I said.
"Jackie come on. This is your chance to clear the air." She says.
"Donna, if I wanted to fart I would go into the bathroom." I said to her.
"Jackie when I said clear the air I meant...you know what never mind. I'm going to go over to Eric's. I hope you sleep well and think about what I said. Okay?" She asks me.
"Fine Donna; just go. I really tire and not in the mood for one of your motherly talks." I said.
"Jackie I'm not going to argue with you. I'll see you later." Donna said.
I was so glad when she finally left. I thought she would never leave. Even though I told her that I wasn't in the mood for any of her motherly advice, I'm kind of glad that she stopped to talk to me. My mother never did that.
At the time, I thought what Donna had said was wrong. I believed that I was right for leaving that note. I'm glad that Donna had taken the time to take that note off the door or things might have turned out differently. I got up from my bed and grabbed clothes out of the closet and headed for the shower. Maybe a nice warm shower would clear my head I thought.
That night was probably the prettiest night in Wisconsin. The sky was full of Starts. You couldn't look up at the sky without seeing a single star. The stars covered the sky from head to toe. A crescent moon also occupied the sky that evening. I came out from the shower and went over to my bed. I then went over to the window and opened it. There was a warm summer breeze blowing in that sent a shiver up my spine. I walked over to my bed pulled up the covers and got in. I was out cold in no time.

As Jackie begins to fall into a peaceful sleep, the bed begins to travel deep into Jackie's future...
Not a long first chapter but I'm a busy person. I'll make it up in the next chapter.
