* I now realize that hypnos is a god so he shouldn't be running around, but this seems more fun.*
Hypnos yelled out in frustration, but he eventually went back to watching the first dream. "Joxer, Joxer?" Gabrielle yelled in confusion, "Joxer where are you?" Joxer was hiding behind a bush in the forest like a scarred bunny.
'Please by the gods don't let her find me,' He prayed to himself.
"OOh, nutbread," She said while picking it up and stuffing it in her mouth, "Joxer, oh there you are. Why are you hiding in the bush?" She asked in a mumble.
'OOOOh damn it all,' He yelled to himself. "Oh hi, Gabby. I thought we were playing hide and seek?" He said reassuringly, "Well, now its your turn."
"Oh okay, I'll hide and you go count," She said in a perky tone.
"Okay now, 1,2,3,4...," He said. Gabrielle then ran off south of the forest. 'This is my chance to run,' Joxer thought as he ran off in the opposite direction.
"Haha what an idiot, that girl is stupid," Hypnos laughed loudly. Then he stopped laughing when he heard a familiar noise. "Their at it again," Hypnos stood up from his chair and ran to the second dream. Before he got there he tripped on his own two feet. By the time he got there he missed them doing the process. In the mirror Xena was sleeping and was pregnant once again. "Damn it why can't I ever catch them," He said to himself sadly.
He sat down on a puffy pillow on the floor and watched more of the dream. Ares was outside with his six years old daughter. She had black hair and blue eyes and almost exactly like Xena. "You look and act just like your mother," Ares said lovingly.
"No I don't," The little girl said and gave him 'the look'.
"Especially her stubbornness," Ares said sarcastically.
"What's that supposed to mean dad?" She asked defensively.
"You just proved my point little one," He said triumphantly.
"Wow she really does look like her mother," Hypnos said as he was dazzled by the resemblance. He then stood up and grabbed the mirror and the puffy pillow and sat down on his chair. He placed the mirror next to the other dream. He then made a bowl of popcorn and placed it has lap. "Yummy," he said while focusing on the first dream.
"Joxer, why do I get the feeling that you are avoiding me?" Gabrielle said.
"What you say, Gabby?" Joxer asked while smiling at a barmaid.
"Joxer!" She yelled in frustration. Joxer looked at her in confusion. He couldn't take it anymore. So, he decided to just ask her.
"Gabrielle do you like me?" He asked her.
"What do you mean, Joxer?" Gabrielle asked. Her face became a light pink and she got nervous from the way he was looking at her.
"It's just a question." Joxer told her rudely.
'If I tell him Ilove him then he'll hold me in his arms and we'd live happily ever after and okay,' She thought to herself. "Joxer I don't like you," She said proudly.
'Thank the gods,' He sighed to himself. And he formed a bit of a smirk when she told him.
"I love you," she told him, she was proud of herself when she said it.
'God damn it,' he yelled inside. "Gabrielle I have to go," Joxer told her before he left the tavern.
"Why?" Gabrielle cried, "Don't you love me?"
"You may never know Gab, you may never know," He said while walking off in the direction the road led. Gabrielle then sat back down in the tavern and cried for an hour an a half.
"Damn this is really starting to drag," Hypnos said to himself. He turned to see what Ares and Xena were up to. The only that they were doing was training up their kids. The girl got bigger and they had a boy . Hypnos felt extremely bored because the two dreams were really dragging on. Plus he had finished his popcorn. "Hmm I wonder?" Hypnos asked himself.
Hypnos got off his chair and ran over the alter. He raised his hands and slammed his two fists together. That caused the two mirrors to slam into each other. It made a big explosion and both broke and spilled on the floor. "OOOH SHIT!" At that moment Ares, Xena, Gabrielle, and Joxer woke up screaming.
"Damn at least that was a dream," Ares whispered to himself and went back to sleep.
"Ahh, What the hell was that," Joxer yelled, "I would never give up a change to date Gabrielle." He then went back to sleep.
"Are you alright Gabrielle?" Xena asked her companion genuinely.
"Yeah I just got a bit spooked that's all, I'm fine now," Gabrielle whispered, "How about you?"
"I'm fine, let's try to get some sleep," She said with a smirk on her.
"Alright I'll try to," She said softly. Then they both slowly went to sleep.
At that moment Hypnos found his way back into the sleeping chambers. Not looking up at Morpheus, who was pretty calm at what happened. Hypnos laid on the cushions that surrounded the large mirror like room.
"So, I presume you screwed up again?" Morphues asked in a suave tone.
"Yes I did," Hypnos sighed as he looked up at he ceiling. Which was one huge mirror. Morpheus then finished what he was doing and sat down next to him.
"I saw the whole thing you know, I knew you were bound to screw up somehow," He calmly said. Hypnos just stared at the ceiling in frustration. "So did you see Ares and Xena doing it?"
