CHAPTER 10
Now, this entire arrangement in the hospital had not been the only thing going on at the time, you see. In fact, most of this dream was playing in my head, like a tape. And even though I knew what was going to happen, I didn't know. It is all very difficult to explain... but at the same time, during the bickering of the "dog", and the "hog", someone was watching the entire conversation through the hospital room window.
The figure had followed Inuyasha, (for he had been a past spy for the evil Clucose). This spy, at the window, was a spy for the spy, just to make sure he was doing his job correctly, and nothing further. As the figure heard the words of Inuyasha changing sides, and what-not, he went into a pleasant, sickening, state of jeering for the poor, confused, half-demon.
"He! Ha! The boss won't be happy about this! No sir! Neither will my master! Tee, He! He! Boy! Wait until I see the look on their faces! And they'll be so proud of me for telling them so! He! He! He!"
The thing sat on the window seel in plain view, for all to see. It was brown, and fluffy. Little did we know though, that this secret telling spy, that could ruin all our plans of ever defeating the dark side of the world, took the shape of a...
Tails quickly walked to the window, and with a strict,
"SHEW!!"
and a flick of the wrist, the squirrel ran off, frightened.
It was finally decided, that while Inuyasha would become an agent, he would be more independent, and only help when called upon. He paid two thirds of the medical bill, and ran off, once again into the woods without a trace.
The stitches were going to be removed in two days flat. I soon found out, that this was because of the quick-healing animated blood that was injected into my system. The day after the incident, I was allowed to leave the hospital, but stay in bed, due to my condition. The day after I would get my stitches removed, but for now, rest.
I had to be wheeled out in a wheelchair, and Dr. Hibbert said that, for today, there would be no speed, transforming, flight, or anything of the training sort. Sonic pushed the wheelchair, and insisted to the others to run ahead and make some sort of bed out of Illum's remaining feathers on the branch we had been staying on.
"All right..." said Knuckles, hesitantly."But remember, no fast stuff! You got that?"
"Scout's honor!" said Sonic, as he held up three fingers.
They ran ahead, and we soon went on the slow-paced ride up the twirling base of the large tree. After about 5 minutes of walking up the tree. Sonic began to complain.
"GEEZ! Do you guys have to go through this every day?!? I could've made it to the city of Tulipway, and back by now!"
I decided to change the subject. "What is that city like anyway? I've heard many people talk about it, but I've never actually been."
"Hmmmmmm...Tulipway...Tulipway........" He said, pondering to himself, looking very deep in thought. "Well...it's a big city...with a lot of lights...and shops...and...uh...yea."
"Oh! That's a lot of description! Every city has lights, and shops, and stuff!!! Be more specific!"
"O. K.....uh...well... it has some casinos, and hotels, and they perform plays there, and there's lots of lights, and shops, and....yea."
"THAT'S WHAT YOU JUST SAID!!!!!"
"Well, soooorrry! I'm not a poet you know!!!"
"It sounds a lot like New York..."
"New Yyyyyyeeeeeeeooooooaaaaaaaarrrrrrccccckkk..."
Sonic tried desperately to pronounce "York" correctly, before saying: "Never heard of it."
"You've never heard of New York? You know....Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Broadway, 9-11 ......ring any bells?" I asked desperately twirling my fingers impatiently.
"Hmmmmm...... OH! Yeeeeaaaahhhh! There such cute little balls of fluffiness! They remind me of Ireland!"
"No! Stupid! That's a Yorkshire Terrier! Their DOGS!!!"
"OH! Well... is it one of those shiny things you eat with?"
"Noo...that's a fork Sonic. A fork." I said in a drone.
"Uhhh..... mork, pork, zork, tork, lork, cork..........nope! I've got nothing."
I slapped myself. "How can you know of IRELAND, but not know of NEW YORK!!!"
"What's Ireland?" He asked stupidly.
"YOU JUST SAID YOU KNEW WHAT IRELAND WAS!!!!!!"
"Did I?"
"Yea! Remember? When we were talking about Yorkshire Terriers, and you said they make you think of Ireland? Remember?!?!"
"But, a Yorkshire Terrier is a type of dog."
"I KNOW!!!! THAT'S WHAT I JUST SAID!!!!!!!!!"
"Your strange. I've never heard of Ireland in my life! How could I know what it was?! Your a silly, little human!"
"Your an idiot."
"Am I?!"
"Yea definitely."
"Ohhhhhh.....What's an Idiot?"
"AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!"
This argument went on for about 20 more minutes, before we got to the branch we had to be on.
"Finally!!!" I shouted. "That was the dumbest conversation, I've had in my entire life!!!"
"OH! Really now! Don't blame your doings on the conversation! That's just mean!" said Sonic.
"AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!! Your making no since!! Conversations don't have feelings!"
"Why sure they do!! Everyone has feelings!"
"...AND I'M NOT DUMB!!! JEEZ!!"
Knuckles, and Tails stared at us in shock, before Knuckles mumbled to Tails,
"Do ya' think the medication has her a bit loopy?"
"Yea...but what about Sonic?"
"Nah, he's just stupid."
The truth was, Sonic wasn't stupid at all. The lack of speed, and going fast made him bored, making him a bit loopy himself.
Knuckles, and Tails had made a set of nice little beds for everyone (looking more like cradles from the unique shapes of the feathers, and having a dome-like appearance).
We were all about to take a nap, when something happened. I began to close my eyes, when a wind hit me in the face! I opened one eye, and there was a strange creature, staring down at me.
It was sky-blue, with a lighter blue belly, two long drooping ears, a small pink nose, and a set of whiskers. It had been flying with two fairly large wings, and had a huge package tied around it's foot. It stared at me sideways, as if waiting for something.
"EER!" It chirped.
"What the?!..." I gogged.
"ERR!! ERR!!"
It landed at the foot of the bed, and tucked it's wings into it's body. It then proceeded to sniff the bed curiously.
"Puuurrrrrrrr...."
It purred, and fell asleep almost immediately. I stared at it, and looked at the package raveled along it's foot, near it's now twitching tail which was long, and had a puff at the end of it.
I stared at the package, and (carefully, as so not to wake up the poor exhausted thing), bent over, and unraveled it off the foot. The package had no address, or stamps, or anything. It was just a mid-sized, rectangular box, rapped in brown packaging paper. I tore it open, and opened the white box on the inside. Paper! Loads and loads of paper! I rummaged through the paper, wondering what this was all about, not knowing where this creature came from, or what it was. I found a small remote with a red button on it, that simply said: "press".
Now, everyone was asleep in the area, and I was going to inform them of this strange remote, but I couldn't wait, and the curiosity got the best of me.
I pressed the button.
There was a whizzing sound from inside the remote, and the thing literally jumped out of my hand and planted it's self upon the branch. Two small sets of robotic hands came out of the remote with a measuring tape, measuring the holes and different branches of the tree level. The thing concluded, and said (in a robotic tone)
"10 by 52 feet. Sugarpom. Wood."
The hands retreated back into the remote, and the entire branch began to vibrate. A small, black, flat block came out of it, then another, and another, and another.... the thing seemed to be building it's self, and the bricks were now poring out of the thing like there was no tomorrow. It was very un proportional, how much stuff was coming out of this thing, but the structure was growing at an extremely fast rate. The size of a matchbox....a cardboard box., a horse...
"HELP!"
I shouted with plea, for the medication had prevented me from using my legs, and the size of the thing was pushing, and tipping the half-circle bed backwards (tipping me along with it in the process). Tails woke up first, and saw the danger at hand. He quickly ran over, and dragged me, and the creature out of the way (using the bed) while staring at the building, in a most hypnotic state. The others also soon woke up as well, and we all stood (me sitting) a good distance away, not speaking, as we watched the magnificent structure continue to build its self.
I saw shapes begin to form.
A window...with glass shudders...YES! YES! ....and a door...a chimney...a rope hammock... The thing built, and built, one, after another! Each different part of the structure conducting its self from the different small blocks of the remote. A small deck formed in the back, with a grill, and a kiddie pool, and a table! The whole nine yards! Even a bird aviary and a small tuft of grass grew in one portion of the yard (the grass growing, as if in fast motion). After about 20 minutes of this, the structure was finally complete. It was a black, short house, with a small window garden in the front, as well as two windows, and a nice wooden door. As a remaining touch, a small sprayer came out of the remote, and sprayed a large puff of "something" on to the house, putting a huge cloud in the area.
The stuff smelled like spray paint, and we all coughed under the conditions. The cloud lifted, and where the black house had stood, there was now a beautiful brown one in its place.
"WOW! Where'd this come from?"!" asked Tails in awe, being the first one to speak.
The remote, which was separate, and in front of the house, gave a pleasant "DING!" much like a microwave does when the food is done. A small rocket went shooting from the remote's top. and exploded, reveling a single, mini , green firework. From the firework, a small note tied to a white parachute came floating down from above. Sonic caught it, and read the note, which said:
"THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICES!!!
ENJOY YOUR NEW BASE
AND HAVE A NICE DAY!
-FROM THE DFN HEADQUARTERS"
"Well that was annoying." admitted Knuckles, as Sonic passed him the note.
"I thought it was cool!" I said soon after.
"Well. ..at least now we have a place to live..."
"YIPPPEEEE!" Yelled Tails as he ran into the home. "I'm going to claim my bedroom first!!!"
"Not if I can help it!!!" Shouted Sonic, running in after him.
"Heh!...So immature!" Knuckles snickered to himself before casually walking in.
I walked through the door, and as soon I did so, I gasped in awe! There was a huge kitchen to the right of the door, and a hallway to the left. Straight ahead, was a living room (very spacious!) with some very modern zig-zag, blue couches, and a fireplace. Over the fireplace was a computer screen, that looked like one of the kind you would see in a spy movie. There was a button system near the door with different settings. I pressed a button that was labeled
"room" A voice came out of nowhere that said:
"Choose a setting!"
"Uhh....Valley!" I answered. The walls changed from brick, to a spacious, animated, valley, with the smell, breeze, and everything! Even the carpet grew grass!
"I think I'm gonnah like it here!" I said smirking.

YEY! ANOTHER CHAPTER DONE!
There will (once again) be no TSQATFTTOD this week.
O.K...... The plot thickens... (I told you this dream of mine had a plot he...he..)
Hmmmm.... I'm just curious, but if you guys had a choice, would you rather have this fic. changed into a fan comic, or a film?
Me answer reviews now!
xxxxxxxxxx
To Duelist of Middle Earth: Giant Lobster? The closest thing I've gotten to one of those, were those giant, mutated, radioactive pink bunnies attacking Tulipway last summer... OH! About a week ago, I had to fight a hypnotizing, evil frog who was messing with the minds of young 5-year olds, does that count? As for the zombies, freaky story, but not uncommon. I've had plenty of strange cowink-e-dinks like that happen to me. As for your warning, I thank you for your concern, but (as you may have already guessed,) I'm already well aware of the dangers at hand.
To Daikonran: You think INUYASHA is awesome?!? Huh, so do I. I HATE him in the dream world, but, I LOVE the series that comes on "ADULT SWIM" of Cartoon Network every Weeknight... If you like Inuyasha, I would suggest the TV series, manga, or the movie (which just reached the American coast). As for the cut, I'm as clueless as you are...
& To choco aardvark: I KNOW! I KNOW! My spelling is horrible! As for your fic., I have not heard of it, unfortunately, and I've been trying to avoid anything with a similar story, so that I'm not accused of copying. I would LOVE to read your tale when I'm through with my own though...
See ya' next time everyone!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I don't own, Sonic, Dr. Hibbert, Knuckles, Tails, Inuyasha, Cartoon Network, or ADULT SWIM.

NEXT CHAPTER: You think the dream world is all nice and happy? Think again!! A horrible secret is told to explain Knuckles', and Inuyasha's sour manner.
