Chapter 4
Is This Stuff Edible?
Zell…I mean…Morphius lead me away into a separate room. There were other people there as well. Quistis, Seifer and Irvine. I smiled brightly and waved to them. " Hey guys!" Rinoa stood up and led me to a dusty looking chair. " You did this too?" I asked.
" I sure did" She replied. Once they had put all the wires on me I had a good look around. Quistis put a phone down and Seifer looked into a telescope thing. Irvine on the other hand was sitting at a computer. Morphius just…stood there.
" The pill you took, was from a Harry Potter every flavor jelly beans packet. They're quite nice actually an cheap too" Morphius informed me. " What does that mean?" I asked.
Irvine was quick to answer for me, " It means buckle your seat belt Dorothy cos Cansas is going bye bye"
" That is such a cliché…"
He grinned at me and put some goggles on. I ignored him and looked at a mirror next to me. It was broken. I felt like saying, ' hey guys you're mirror's broken, hahah!' but I held back. I was saved the voice box projection because the mirror fixed itself. I did a pretty stupid thing and touched it.
" Have you ever had a dream Squall, that-"
" Yeah I have dreams everyone has dreams what's the big deal?"
" Please let me finish…that you were so certain it was real. What if you woke up and couldn't tell the difference between the real world and the dream world?"
That was an easy one. " I just pinch myself, easy" I answered. Morphius sighed and sat back down. When I touched the mirror it wobbled like water and had decided to stick to my finger. Like a silver paste.
" Yuck!" I yelled. I flicked my hand around and the silver paste flicked all around the room. The rest of the group took cover from the flying goo but Morphius however coped a big splat on the face.
" Aiiiieeeee! Get it off! Get it off!" The silver spread up his face and almost in his mouth. But I didn't get to see the rest because I blacked out.
The next thing I knew…I was sitting inside a big bath like structure. Covered in red slimy, goo. I poked my way out and sat up. It isn't very nice to wake up with giant metal rod sticking in your mouth covered in slimy goo. So grabbed the rod with both hands and slid it out of mouth. Upon doing so, I received a big gulp of goo in my mouth…and it didn't taste too bad either. I just hoped it was edible.
I felt like I was in one of those science fiction movies. Because everything looked so…science fictiony…if you know what I mean. Plugs and pipes sticking out of my arms and back…and everywhere else, sitting in a tub of pink and tasty goo, surrounded by people sitting in tubs still asleep. It was just a little bit out of the ordinary…What's more a machine flew up to me. Like a giant flying spider that reminded me of that stand in they used on the nursery rhymes channel for the spider that scared miss muffet.
It examined me for a while and then rudely, undid all of plugs. Now you should know that I am in fact a good swimmer. Garden rule number 234: All SeeD's must have a full understanding of swimming and rescue in the water…or something like that anyway. So yes, I can swim, but in this instant I couldn't. I just fell back into the tasty goo and down a tunnel. It was the most enjoyable tunnel ride I had ever been on, despite the fact that I was half naked…3 quarters naked. The slide went on for about five minutes, which is more than any old theme park can offer, until I fell out into a pool of water.
While I frantically splashed around trying to stay alive, the people above took their sweet time in rescuing me. They finally did when giant claw picked me up, taking me to the surface. It was a very unpleasant ride because on several occasions it poked me in the but.
A/N: woo-hoo! Thankyou to everyone who reviewed and patiently waited for this chapter. Not a bad chapter if I say so myself. But what do you think? Review and tell me what you thought! The more reviews the better * hint hint *
