Chapter 12-Mirage's Lullaby.
Mirage woke with a start when she heard a scream from the guest room. She got out of bed and ran to the guest room, where Dash was sitting up in his bed and panting.
"Dash, what's wrong?!" Mirage asked as she rushed over. She looked closer at his face and saw that he was crying.
"Dash, are you okay?" Mirage asked.
"No. I had a nightmare." Dash said before he hugged Mirage.
"What was it about?" Mirage asked as she hugged him back.
"I had a nightmare that you were still crazy and I tried to talk some sense into you, but you went back to working for Syndrome and left our family." Dash said before he started crying on Mirage's shoulder. Mirage smiled as she rocked Dash back and forth, trying to calm him down. She then got an idea. She remembered an old song that always used to help her get to sleep.
(Song owned by John Denver.)
You fill up my senses.
Like a night in a forest.
Like the mountains in springtime.
Like a walk in the rain.
Like a storm in the desert.
Like a sleepy blue ocean.
You fill up my senses.
Come fill them again.
Come let me love you.
Let me sit down beside you.
Let me always be with you.
You fill up my senses.
Come love me again.
By now, Dash had fallen back asleep with a smile on his face, knowing that his loving aunt was still around and not going anywhere. Mirage smiled as she tucked him back in and said, "Good night, Dash. I love you." before going back to bed.
