Chapter 3: Dreamworld
"Well you seem to be taking it rather well." The doctor said as he came back into the room. "You don't seem to be as nervous as the others"
"I like this world better, the other one was hell. I'm actually relieved." Yuji said. "But I'm a little freaked out by the whole, 'everyone-else-is-having-the-same-dream-I-did' thing." The doctor chuckled a little, relieved that he wouldn't have another sleeper hallucinating and freaking out every second.
"I have a question though. Why do you think we all fell in love with the same girl, but I was the only to get her pregnant?" Yuji asked. "I don't know honestly, maybe everyone didn't have the same dream exactly. B cells act differently to every"
The doctor was cut off by Yuji. "B cells? You mean their real?" The doctor had a stunned look on his face. "You know about B cells?" The doctor asked. "It was in my dream." Yuji said. "No one motioned B cells from their dreams, and B cells were not discovered until a week ago while you were still asleep. How did you know about them?" The doctor asked.
"Didn't I mention them when I told you my dream?" Yuji asked. The doctor said no, and that Yuji should tell him the dream again, in much more detail.
Yuji didn't go to sleep that night. He was scared, why was his dream different. He told himself it doesn't matter but he just couldn't sleep. It haunted him.
What is a dream? Why do they happen? What am I supposed to do if I repeat the dream again?
Questions…
He got up out of bed and went into the mess hall. It was mourning now, and visiting day was tomorrow he was told. He could finally see his family and friends. But because he was still weak from surgery, he couldn't leave the hospital for at least a week. He sat down and began to eat his breakfast. As soon as he took his first bite, he found himself, sleeping, in Marlene's arms. Marlene woke up, and greeted him. "Good mourning, Yuji."
Marlene…
He was in the tent where he was last time with Marlene. "Marlene, I just had the strangest dream. I dreamed that this was a dream." Yuji said.
"Must have been horrible, there's sweat all over the place." Marlene said. "I'm going to take a shower, wanna join."
Yuji thought to himself, if this is a dream, might as well enjoy it. They both got out of the tent and went towards a river that was nearby." Along the way Yuji saw a girl who looked familiar. She had brown hair and slightly tanned skin. He stopped dead in his tracks. "You're the girl from the hospital!" Yuji said to her. "The one that had the seizure." The girl looked confused and ignored him. "Yuji, what's wrong?"
"That girl was in…my dream. I was in the hospital and I woke up and…and…" Yuji began to feel woozy and fainted.
"Yuji…Yuji wake up." Yuji woke up and cereal was all over his face. He looked up and saw the doctor. "Did you get any sleep last night, Yuji?"
"No…but doctor, can I speak to you in private."
