Chapter #12
"So Maggie," Philo Farnsworth was standing in front of her though everything else was just darkness, "how did you enjoy your first dream?" He didn't wait for an answer before continuing. "I see you've survived. Lucky you indeed."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Oh I didn't mention it before but during these little dreams if you die there you die in real life. I probably should have warned you. We've had one or two people who think that by dieing they end the dream early. Poor souls." He looked like he could really care less. "So tomorrow night you may want to be careful. See you then."
"Wait!" Maggie called out as he disappeared, "Come back!"
She blinked and when she opened her eyes again she was in a white hospital room surrounded by flowers, her family, and two nurses.
"Well look who's finally up," her twin brother Michel said in a would be teasing voice. It was only because she knew her brother so well that she could see the worry in his eyes.
"How do you feel?" He father asked as he stood up and walked over to the bed Maggie was laying in.
"What the hell happened?" Maggie managed to say through her shock.
"Maggie," her mother said warningly smoothing the covers by Maggie's feet.
"Watch your language," her father said, "just because you've been unconscious for almost twenty hours doesn't mean you can curse."
"You must have fallen down the basement stairs," her mother told her, "you hit your head."
"You have a very bad concussion," one of the nurses told her, "you needed six stitches in your head. Don't touch them," she added seeing Maggie reach up to touch her head. Now that she thought about it Maggie realized that her head ached.
"We'll be keeping you overnight for observation," the second nurse told her, "though with such a nasty concussion for might just need to stay more then one."
Her parents and her twin spent the rest of the day with her, keeping her company. It was dinner time when her parents left to get food to bring back that Maggie decided to mention her dream to her brother. When Maggie had finished telling him about her dream he stared at her a second before responding.
"Now Maggie," he said, "I'll have to double check but I'm pretty sure the doctor said hallucinations were a symptom of concussions."
"It was not a hallucination," Maggie said angrily.
"Maggie," he assured her, "it didn't happen. That kind of stuff doesn't happen." Soon he had her convinced and by the time her family left and she lay down to go to sleep she was not worried at all.
Until Philo Farnsworth appeared in front of her bed.
"You," she gasped, "are just a hallucination."
"Oh God," he sighed, "you're one of those. In the span of a few hours you've convinced yourself that your dream was just some weird hallucination. Well it's not." They were no longer in the hospital but standing in darkness.
"Bring me back to the hospital."
"One, technically since this is a dream you're still there. Two, aren't you curious as to where you're going tonight?"
"Fine," Maggie sighed defeated, "what movie am I'm visiting tonight?"
"Pirates Of The Caribbean."
"Wait," she chuckled dryly, "let me guess. I'm going to be a cursed pirate."
"That is bad," he said, "but you are going to be a maid in the governor's house." At that moment she found herself dressed in a puffy pink maids outfit with one of those odd white frilly hats.
"Yours is much worse," she concluded in a furious voice.
"I know," he said carelessly, "that's why I picked it."
