My Jelly Boyfriend

by pmcapture

Science is important. It envelops our knowledge of our world around us, and even what lies beyond the realm of our atmosphere. However, it can also fulfill...practical desires. This is the story of how scientists finally artificially created a conscious being for the first time in history, answering every last question about ourselves. The conscious being escapes to find its love

26. The Impossible Dream

Chapter 26 - The Impossible Dream

As we sat there, hours seemed to pass on by like dust in the wind. We eventually played through the entire game, beating Spring Breeze, Dyna Blade, Revenge of Meta Knight, Milky Way Wishes... Hell, we even collected every treasure in The Great Cave Offensive. I became addicted to Kirby Superstar, and so did my jelly boyfriend. In between bathroom breaks, he would go into the extra modes, like Gourmet Race, just to pass the time.

Eventually, I looked at the clock I hang above our bedroom door. 2:15 A.M. It was this view that gave me a thought that traveled through my head. "Hey", I asked my jelly boyfriend, "How many days has it been since the morning you called my boss?" He paused the game for a second, rubbing his chin in complete thought. "I think it's been three days. Why?" I replied, "I have a lot of back-up work to get done. Plus, it's really late. We should get to bed." He looked at the clock, seeing how late it was.

After groaning in complete displeasure, he saved the game, turning the console off, and walking over to meet me in the middle of the hallway. "Well, let's go to bed then.", he calmly said. I looked down at his crotch, really surprised to find that he expressed no sexual thoughts at all. "Hey, aren't you usually in the mood to... you know...", I asked him as he held my left hand with his right. "I guess I'm just not in the mood for some reason...", he responded.

As we were about to approach the bedroom door, I stopped. "It's... it's about the bunny, isn't it?", I asked. "I... I don't know. I think tonight, I should sleep alone.", he said as he entered the guest bedroom, closing the door behind him. I looked at the door for a good 45 seconds or so. It really did bother me that he cared about another creature so intently...

I walked into the bedroom, shutting off the computer, and lying down in my bed. Welp, time for something that hasn't happened to me yet in the past few days, I thought to myself as I wrapped one of my arms around the pillow. As I closed my eyes, I could hear a faint whispering outside of my window. Startled, I got up out of my bed and ran over to the window, opening the blinds. Nobody there... again.

Meanwhile, my jelly boyfriend sat on the edge of the guest bed, staring at the floral pattern on the covers. He had many questions in his mind about the bunny. Things such as, I wonder what his fur looks like, I wonder if he knows English, and if there's any others that he saved with him, among many others. He eventually slipped under the covers, closed his eyes, and fell asleep. Little did he know, he was going to break the scientific field yet again. He was going to be the first artificial organism to dream.

In his dream, my jelly boyfriend found himself in the middle of a completely white and bland landscape. All around him, there were no colors, no textures, no other beings to communicate with. What is this? Where am I?, he thought to himself. Then, out of thin air, a voice boomed in his mind. You're with me, now... It's going to be okay... my jelly boyfriend turned around to find a staircase extending into the sky.

Of course, his curiosity found him walking up the staircase, to see if there were any others who were talking to him. Eventually, he saw a figure higher in the staircase, taking shape. This blur gradually formed into a tall, human-like form. It was a beautiful, tall, white bunny, wearing a pink dress. She was wearing a wide-brimmed hat that hid her face. Not very well, but it did hide her face.

He stopped on the staircase, watching as the bunny slowly made her way to him. When they eventually met, she stopped in front of him, slowly looking up into his eyes as he wore a face of shock. She lifted one of her arms, to rub his cheek. I see you don't have a name... But I understand you now..., she said to him. My jelly boyfriend eventually built up the courage to speak. "Who- Who are you?", he whispered. She giggled a little bit, saying I can't tell you right now, but it will eventually come to you. The important thing is, always believe in yourself. Do what you feel is right, my child.

It was immediately after this sentence that my jelly boyfriend woke up from the scientifically impossible feat, to a window brimming with sunlight. He laid there in the bed for what seemed like an eternity to him. As time went on, the ceiling seemed to mean more and more to him than he could have ever expected.
