Chapter 62 - The Sweet and Salty Dream
Megalo tried not to laugh at Matiro's joke, but he eventually laughed. "Ah, see?! Magnum here gets it!", Matiro said, cracking open the beer can. "I...I'm sorry, Osmos, but that was pretty... funny.", Megalo said to his uncle. "Whatever...", Osmos said with a sigh. My jelly boyfriend decided he needed to break the akwardness. "So uh... what happened after I passed out?!", he asked. "Uh... Yeah... About that...", Iremiya said, rubbing his left elbow with his right arm, feeling somewhat guilty. "We kinda had to... uh..."
Meanwhile, I was being watched over by Adyna, who was sitting in my computer chair, closing her eyes as she focused into my dream. I dreamt that I was in jail, for harboring a stolen science experiment, a.k.a. my jelly boyfriend. In this world, the scientists had gotten a warrant from the mayor, allowing my house to be searched. They had a SWAT team detain and arrest me, but luckily, my jelly boyfriend was able to escape from them, by going back down into the sewers. In my dream, I could see him crying as he finally met the one he loved more than any other, only to have him taken away by the government.
I was sentenced to 50 years in prison, with possibility of parolle. I didn't know if I was going to make it out with the parolle hearings, because I loved my jelly boyfriend, and I never knew if I was going to be able to look at those government officials and say to them that I didn't anymore. The first few weeks were horrifying, being beaten up every other day, and being fed with food that was only a little better than high school. It all changed when I was told that a visitor was here for me. I thought it would be my parents again, but instead, I saw a copy of myself. Immediately, I picked up the private phone, while my jelly boyfriend was on the other side.
"I've... I've finally found you, Mark...", he said, tearing up. I dropped the phone, putting my arms down onto the table, stuffing my head into it, thinking that I would never be at peace with him in my life anymore. Eventually, I picked up the phone again, putting it onto my ear. I heard him say, "Don't worry, Mark. No matter what happens..." Then, a booming female voice overpowers the dream, finishing his sentence. ...We'll always be together!
Suddenly, the glass seperating us shatters, causing the police guards to run over to us. Whenever they were within 3 feet of us, they would just drop dead. They tried shooting us, but the bullets just stopped, falling down to the ground in the middle of the air. My jelly boyfriend stepped up onto the desk. "Come with me, Mark. We'll figure this all out.", he told me, reaching his hand out to me. I reached up my hand to hold his, stepping up and over the desk towards the exit. Even when they closed and locked the door in front of us, the door would just disappear when we walked near it. We walked into the sunset, finally knowing that we'll finally be together at last.
As I awoke, I saw myself in my bed. I was having the largest headache of my life; It felt like someone was crushing my head. I grunted as I tried to get up, but even lifting my head an inch off the pillow made the world spin around me. I looked over to my computer chair, to find the white rabbit in my dreams. "Well, that was the best dream I've ever taken a part in.", she said to me. "Wha...? What's going on...? Who are you...?", I mumbled. "The last thing I remember is... talking to that scientist..."
"You just need rest, Mark.", she told me. "This will all be over soon." I looked around the room, just trying to find ways to remember everything. "Where... is... my jelly boyfriend...?", I asked. "Let me go get him, honey..", she told me, walking out of the room. I placed my head back down onto the pillow, just begging for this headache to fall flat anytime soon.
"WHAT?!", my jelly boyfriend yelled in the living room. "You took control of me and forced me to tie up Mark?!" Osmos tried to calm him down, saying, "Look, how else were you going to help us?!" My jelly boyfriend gasped in shock. "How else was I going to help you?! I probably WASN'T going to help you! And I probably won't help you all anymore, just because you made me do that!" Matiro bent down to his daughter, whispering, "Now THIS is exciting!" Osmos panicked, yelling, "Please! Without your help, we have nothing to live for! We'll make up for it, just please, for the love of god, please help us!" Megalo added in, "I'm scared of those scientists!"
"Hmm...", my jelly boyfriend thought. Then, Adyna came out into the hallway behind him. "Jelly!", she yelled. He looked over his shoulder to see her, standing in the middle of the open doorway. "There's someone here who needs to see you." My jelly boyfriend looked back at the reather extensive family of humanoid rabbits. "Look, if you don't make him panic, I'll figure out how to keep you all here." He walked into the bedroom, with Barry and Ella behind him. "This'd better be good.", Matiro said to himself.
"Nnngh... What the hell happened, you guys..?", I asked them. Barry begun to explain. "Well..."
