CHAPTER 11

The house was strange, even for a dream reality. Not only could the house change settings, it also had indoor exercises (not meant for indoors), a machine that could make any food you pleased, another machine that could make hologram projections, a room with nothing but spy gear, cable, video games, surround sound, security system, web access, a book-library (with any, and everything that had ever been put on paper), clothes wardrobe, and as a bonus, (and for no reason what-so-ever) The house came with a pet Iguana (which Sonic appropriately named Jojo). All of this though, was very hard to get to, not because it was out of reach mind you, but because the house's computer had an attitude... a nasty one at that. About five seconds after I had requested the houses settings, the house answered:
"Will that be all? You insignificant twit?!?"

I wandered the home to see what my friends had done with the bedrooms, (the medication had now worn off, and I was able to use my legs again), and to see what the rest of the house was like as well. I opened the first door, and, as I did, my eyes widened! The room was falling!!! Falling! Past the clouds, and a airplane, and a flock of geese!!! Sonic was skydiving!
"Hi!!!" He yelled under the windy blow of the falling.
I soon saw that the room was not falling, but the settings of the walls, ceiling, and floor had been set to "fall" and Sonic had just ordered a giant fan for the floor, in which he was practicing with. I now also noticed that, (for reasons beyond me), the iguana was also "practicing", the poor thing not knowing what on Earth was going on, and uncontrollably doing front flips in the wind of the fan. I shut the door, almost startled, and I had done this so quickly, the house yelled,
"OW! That hurt!!! You son of a $#$!!"
I looked down upon this, for cussing wasn't my thing, but ignored it, and continued down the hall.
I opened door # 2, and was relieved to find that it had a calm, koi pool, and waterfall setting instead of a infinite drop. I looked into the room, to find Knuckles meditating on a large bolder of some kind. He opened one eye, got up, and completely lost it!
"HAVEN'T YOU EVER HEARD OF KNOCKING!?! I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING!! YOU LITTLE....."
The house interrupted with a chant: "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!...."
Knuckles didn't fight however. He just slammed the door in my face. I continued to walk down the hall before the house interrupted,
"Why bother going into someone else's room? It'll always have the same ending, with one of the two of you slamming the door..."
"AWW...SHUDAAP!!!" I yelled for I knew I would end up living in this place for a while,
and was not exactly happy with getting a wise crack for a home.

I opened the last door in the hallway, and when I did, I almost lost it. There were Chao everywhere! Of course they were holograms, but the place was filled to the brim with toys, and stuffed animals, and such. The background looked like something that "Lisa Frank" would paint. With rainbows, and clouds, and grassy planes... Tails sat in the middle with a large stump, surrounded by chaos, both dolls and holographic. He looked up, and waved pleasantly, before asking:
"Wanna' join us?! Were having cookies and milk!"
"No thanks!" I said quickly to try to keep myself from laughing, and shut the door (normally this time, so as not to get the house mad again).
"HEY!HEY! Don't laugh at someone's fantasy! It's not nice!" said the house.
"What is your name then?!" I yelled to the house, trying to change the subject.
"I am a Supporting Navigational Operating Transmitter Trailer Y24 5000!" said the computer proudly.
"Soooo...your a S.N.O.T.T.Y? Then I will call you Snotty."
"SNOTTY?!?!? Can't you call me "Hal"?!? Or..."Mark"?!? Or....or... some cool name like that?!?!"
"No...no...Snotty suits you fine..."

I walked back down the hall, and once again into the main room of the home. I then wandered into another hallway, (more in the back of the house), and was quite disappointed not to find another room behind the next door, but a towel closet. There was one last door down this last hallway of the home, and I hoped, and prayed, that all of the bedrooms had not been taken over by male, animated, Mobosapians. I opened the last door, and was pleasantly surprised to find that I had gotten the master bedroom of the house, while the Mobosaipians had to settle with, what was considered the "kid rooms". The room was white and bare, but only because you could put any setting, or item you pleased in it, due to the computer system's program.
"SNOTTY! Set settings for clear... please?"
The outside of the tree appeared in pure view, so that it made you feel as if you were outside, when really you were inside. I sighed with happiness, ordered a bed, and plopped myself down upon it.
"Hmmmm....let's see how you like being attacked by MONKEYS!!!!"
Holographic monkeys appeared out of nowhere, and even though, they were holograms, were very realistic. You could touch, and smell, and feel them. The monkeys formed a circle around me, and jumped!!!! One bit me in the leg! While the others grabbed my arms!!! Soon we were all in a strangling ball, wrestling each other all over the place!! Of course, I was out numbered, and they jumped, and howled, as I screamed,
"STOP IT SNOTTY!!! STOP IT!!!"
Sonic walked in, after hearing the screams.
"Is everything....! ALL RIGHT!!! A MONKEY FIGHT!!!!"
Sonic jumped into the calamity with no hesitation, taking on the challenge of beating 20 monkeys, or so...
Snotty stopped the holograms 10 minutes later, after both me, and Sonic were bruised, and scared to death.
"WOW! That was the best monkey fight I've had in years!!!!" said Sonic, pleased with the reality, and results of the fight.
"OW...OW...." I had mangled my stitches again while protecting myself.
"Oh...yeah...the operation...."
Sonic had just remembered the "no fighting" rule that had been set for the medication, and regretted in shame that he had fought and been having a wrestling match, when he should have been helping a friend in need.
"Uh...BAD COMPUTER!! BAD!BAD! COMPUTER!!!" He scolded, a bit late for his own use.
I crawled into the bed once more and began to rest up, now having pain all over.
"Give her something relaxing!!!"
The computer made a beach setting on the walls, and all was peaceful again.
"THANK YOU!'"
"HEY! WAIT A MINUTE!! HOW COME SNOTTY WILL LISTEN TO YOU, BUT NOT TO ME?!?!"
"Snotty?!? Where'd ja' come up with a name like that?"
"That's what he's called! A Supporting Navigational Operating Transmitter Trailer Y24 5000!"
"Ahhh...." he answered understandingly.
"The only reason why I won't listen to you is because, you are a piece of worthless, polluting, uncaring, non efficient, war bombing, scum!! Used only for pets, and serving no further use. Everyone knows that humans will never amount to anything more then a selfish, couch potato " said Snotty, answering the question on his own.
" What do ya' mean?!?"I asked, angered that in between Knuckle's, Inuyasha's, and Snotty's attitudes, I hadn't gotten much respect this entire trip,
"See for yourself..."

A large screen came out of the ceiling and a series of clip-its from the real world was shown.

People shooting each other! The twin towers falling! Garbage boats going to a garbage pile off the mainland! Mushroom clouds! Hitler! Factories putting smoke in the air! People fighting in the streets! Homer choking Bart (from the Simpsons)! People abusing many animals in chains, with whips and shocks! Bill Gates rolling around in money! Politics! Cars! Shooting of animals! A motor boat cutting up a manatee! Airplanes shooting from above! Someone carelessly throwing a can out the window of their car! Machines chopping down trees! A butcher cutting up meat! The fattest man on earth lounging in his living room eating spaghetti like a slob while watching TV!...The images went on, and on, as well as flashes of single words such as: "HATE!!" "DICTATOR!!!" and, "GREEDY!!"

The film went on for 5 more minutes before I screamed,
"STOP!!! STOP!!! I GET YOUR POINT!! I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE!!! hurp! I'm gonnah' be sick, ulp!"
The film stopped abruptly, and the screen was lifted back into the ceiling.
"SEEEE?" said Snotty in a "I told you so" voice.
I turned toward Sonic.
"Is this... how the dream world is? Raciest, and bias toward all non-animated homosapians, just because of a few bad ones?"
Sonic looked at me with a sad face, and had a look in his eye that said "How should I put this so it won't hurt her?"
"Well, you see kid,....erm....humans here are looked down upon by almost the entire non-human population, a good 95 percent. They are usually kept as pets, but mostly, males are preferred, because they supposedly are stronger and more helpful then the females, who are almost all preppy, and thought of as useless... no one in their right mind would want one, much less hire one for a job....."
He looked up at me, and saw that, not only was I shocked, I was upset too. I began to silently cry under the conditions.
"...however...in some few cases, a good one, with a good heart comes once and a while, and is wanted by all, after they prove themselves to be so. The reason why so many don't mind you here in this tree living among us is, as the rumor goes, because you saved a lot of the houses by getting Illum of the tree quickly that day, and their has been talk going around about you saving Knuckles, and Tails... but that's it! Your hanging on with two threads kid."

After this short speech, I thought about some of the things the creatures had said to me in the past to signify that I was hated by almost all, images popped into my head, as well as quotes.
Catdog: "What are you looking at?!?"
The creatures singing the "Small-Watt" song in sync, The animated creatures staring at me for the first time in Angorf, and in the tree,
Knuckles "Yeah, like I care. One less human to deal with."
Inuyasha "...Because that's exactly what she is!!! A nuisance!" and finally... Snotty:
"The only reason why I won't listen to you is because, you are a piece of worthless, polluting, uncaring, non efficient, war bombing, scum!!"

I began to cry harder now. I knew that this entire dream world was against me, and I wanted to wake up! I wanted to wake up so badly, and never have this dream again!!! How could I have been so naive to see that nearly the entire population was against humans? All the clues were right there! Right in front of my nose! How could I have been so dumb?!? I should just give up this stupid job right now, if there was nothing but bad, and evilness that these creatures could see in me! I wanted to go back to my old dreams that had nothing to do with this one! There was no one here that loved me! No one that cared! Well...maybe one single creature... One that had the trust, and love, and patience.... I looked at Sonic, he saw me crying.

"Do you wannah' be left alone? Or...uh...should I get you some tissues or...something?"

I ran over and hugged him (hugging more of his head then anything, for there wasn't much body there to hug). This surprised him greatly, and he sure wasn't expecting it, for he made a "MMMMPPPH!!!!" sound , (he couldn't shout on the count that one of my arms was covering his mouth).
"OH SONIC!!! I'M GONNAH PROVE THEM ALL WRONG!!! EVEN IF IT KILLS ME!!!"
He looked at me through the hug, and gently shook me off.
"Don't worry kid. I fee! the same way. I'm one of the 5' percent 'ters..."

He smiled, and left me alone, thinking it was better to do so. As he did so he ran into Knuckles, storming down the hall.
"Uhh...bad day?"
"Where is that stupid kid of yours!! She barged in on me during my exercises! I'm thinking of giving her a good yelling."
"She's in there. But I wouldn't bug her if I were you. She's pretty upset."
"Rrrrrr...UPSET ABOUT WHAT?!? THOSE THINGS DON'T HAVE FEELINGS!!! YOU KNOW THAT!!"
"She just found out, that the entire world hates her." Sonic concluded, before going back into his room, leaving a startled Knuckles to figure things out on his own.

O. K....NOW you guys know why I wouldn't wish this place on anyone. Told ja' the dream world wasn't all happy n' lolly pops.

Although this is quite a depressing chapter compared to the others, it's very important to the plot. When I was dreaming this, about a year ago, I had no clue that this plot twist would occur. I thought that every night, I would just fight stuff, and badda bing- badda boom... I would wake up. Although the bias of homosaipians, is sadly very real in in dream world, It gives the story a bit more oomph, it also gives you a deeper impression of some of the characters.
So now we not only have problems with the two sides of the world, but we have some emotional stuff happening too...
Sometimes I think this dream is trying to teach me something. Sad as it is, there is a lot of racist, and sexist problems, not only in the dream world, but in our world as well. If anyone ever shares this same dream, you'd know that it kinda puts you in someone else's shoes. All the people taunted in the world for something stupid like sex, religion, or race... this dream kinda makes you feel like your right beside them....don't it?

On a happier note, I shall now answer E-mail!!!! WEEEE!!!

Daikonran- NO FAIR!!!!!! YOU HAVE A SOUND SYSTEM?!?! But I feel bad for you... you don't have cable...(Don't worry, I know what that's like. We just recently got cable. I've been missing out on it since I was 5 or...something.). They have the series on DVD and VHS now though, so you have no more dificulties with cable. As for Conker, at first I didn't know who you were talking about, so I looked him up. Is he that squirrel from "Bad Fur Day?" If he is, I hate to say, that although I saw his game in numerous Blockbusters, I was not a child privileged with an N64...so sad...

To everyone- Thank you all for the favorite contributions, and reviews!!!! I am flattered!

Oh! Do you guys still want this to be turned into a manga or movie? I got no feedback on the last chapter about that...

See Ya Next time!!!

And have a Happy Holloween!.... MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!! (Evil laughter)

I do not own Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, The Simpsons, Chao, Homer, Bart, Conker, Bad Fur Day, N64, or Blockbuster
