Welcome everyone to my new fan fiction! I'd like to start off with saying that when I wrote the last chapter of "Killer Chimps in Norrisville" I did not intend to end the story with Niall having a mental breakdown. Ultimately, I ended up looking at Niall for the first time since the first time. He has trouble talking to people, his family treats him not so nicely, he has a crush on Theresa who has a mutual crush on Randy and thus Niall's love for her is doomed to never be… Yeah, I don't think giving him a mental breakdown by having him betray his pacifistic morals would change anything from how sad an OC Niall is. All that to make sure Niall is not Mary Sue. He is truly one of a kind, which is why I wanted it to be his head that these dream stories take place in. Enjoy and review.

Showdown

Perchance to sleep, to perchance to dream… Niall sat between Randy and Theresa in class. He had just recovered from his mental breakdown and already his parents had sent him back to school. His unsympathetic older brother Robert had pointed and laughed at him as soon as Niall walked in to school. Needless to say, no one was amused with Robert laughing at Niall for having suffered a mental breakdown.

Niall had barely gotten any sleep the night before. He was so tired!

Everyone, well not exactly everyone but most people, looked at Niall differently. The teachers still treated him just as his parents did but some students whom had previously been jerks to him had softened quite a bit. Howard Weinerman and Ken Finlayson had softened quite a bit. There were still some people who were jerks to Niall, Bash Johnson for instance, but for the most part the other students were actually acknowledging that Niall wasn't exactly born into a nice family.

Coughing a bit, Niall looked around. Randy and Theresa were talking to one another they weren't even acknowledging he was there. Niall was too tired to care.

Then Mr. Whoever pushed a television on a cart into the room. Niall could only remember the names of so many teachers, there was some whose name he wouldn't remember but this guy looked like he was on loan from a Roald Dahl book.

"Okay, students, since we've got seventy-five minutes and no work for the day we'll be watching a movie!" There was a cheer from all the students save Niall. His body was screaming for sleep yet his brain kept telling Niall to not sleep in school. "We'll be watching 'Showdown!'" The students all groaned. Niall didn't even care he just stayed silent like he usually did. "No respect for the classics!"

Niall rolled his eyes. No respect? If anything his family had no respect for him!

Five minutes into the movie, Niall drifted off to dreamland!
