Falling...

Wait, he had done this before.
The blue-ish tunnel, the slow falling with the soft wind that felt peaceful and quiet.

Five instantly flipped around, though it was slow like his falling. He looked around by only moving his head. It was the same place as last time. But Five at least knew this time that it was a dream and not a reality. Five felt like it had almost started where it left off, but...then again, the tunnel was nothing but the same blue for what seemed to be forever.

Suddenly the falling stopped, the tunnel passing by...stopped.
Everything stopped except for Five.

Five could move, but nothing else did.

He stared confused, muttering to himself underneath his breath trying to comprehend what was happening in the dream this time. Then suddenly it reversed. Five was doing the opposite of falling. The tunnel was even going a different way.

Five was very confused at this point. Then it went fasterandfasterandfasterandfasterandfast-

"Aah!" He shouted when it quickly stopped and then went back the other way, him falling again, because it caught him off-guard...

Ruff, ruff!
*lick*

Five let out a noise of disgust, "What-" He opened his eyes and sat up. The poodle puppy hopped off of his chest when doing so, sitting on the bed, wagging his tail. Five rubbed his eyes, at least he wasn't in the car this time. Last time, he had hit his head...

...Wait.
Car...
"Car! Vanya! Cafe!" Five scrambled out of bed, the blankets falling on the puppy's head.

"I forgot to set the alarm!" Five shouted, opening the closet, grabbing a pair of clothes and proceeding to quickly put it on. Five then ran downstairs, the puppy following him.

Five slid his hand all the way down the handrails of the stairs as his slippers tapped across the wooden stairs. Diego, Luther, Klaus and Allison were sitting at the kitchen table. Luther had a newspaper in his hands, Allison was on her phone texting someone, Diego was eating breakfast and watching the small TV that was hanging on the wall and Klaus was rambling to the rest. Something about forbidden jolly ranchers and cinnabar...

"Uh-huh, that's nice Klaus." Allison nodded, "You better eat your food, it's gonna get cold." She added. Klaus paused, glanced at his plate. "Right, right. Talk later, food now." Klaus grabbed a fork and began eating. Luther peered from behind the newspaper, "Morning Five." He said shortly. All the others noticed Five at that point and greeted him with various variations of Good Morning. "Yeah, hey, good morning. Is Vanya still here?" Five ran his hands through his hair. "Wooow, you look like you've been hit by a dumptruck. Sit down and have some breakfast." Klaus said, holding his fork in his hand.

"Answer my question." Five said with an aggressive tone.

"Vanya's outside." Luther replied. "Okay, thanks!" Five ran off. "You still got your slippers on, Five!" Klaus noted. "I don't care, Klaus!" Five shouted back, before the door slammed closed.

Klaus shrugged, "Okay slipperman." He continued eating.

Five nearly tripped over the poodle puppy, "Vanya wait! I'm awake!" Five said, out-of-breath. Vanya, holding the keys in her hands, looked at Five; "Aw hey! Did you think I was going to leave you or something? Don't worry, you're not late. You're early actually, we don't go to work for another hour and a half." Vanya giggled. Five's face flushed with a dark, warm red. "Oh." Five looked down at the poodle, barking at him.

He picked up the poodle and held him close. "Right."

"I was just getting my hairbrush out the glovebox." Vanya said, locking the car back up.

Vanya went to speak, "You look like you-"
"I know, I know." Five snapped and turned to the door to walk back inside the house.

Vanya giggled again and followed him inside.

"So, did Vanya leave you behind?" Klaus was the first to speak up. "No." Five said shortly, sitting down in one of the empty chairs, while Vanya did as well in another empty chair. "Thought so. Anyway, breakfast is going to get cold, Slipperman." Klaus replied.

"Slipperman?" Five glared a bit at the black-haired.
"Yeah, like Superman? But like, with slippers? Slipperman." Klaus poked his fork on the plate a few times while he talked, making clanking noise with it. Five rolled his eyes and glanced at Luther. "So, anything new?" Five asked him. "Just same ol'bullcrap, nothing amazing." Luther lowered the newspaper, "Unless you count a chimpanzee escaping a zoo." Luther said.

"Oh god, Planet of the Apes." Klaus interrupted.

"Yeah not very amazing." Five replied to Luther, not even acknowledging what Klaus said.
"Planet of the Apes..." Klaus whispered to himself with wide eyes.

"I didn't know you escaped a zoo." Diego finally spoke.
Luther kicked Diego's foot underneath the table, making the silverware and plates rattle against the table. "Shut up Diego, no one asked you." Luther growled. "Guys, guys, not again, please." Allison sighed loudly. "Oh please do, I love the drama llama~" Klaus leaned back, putting his arms behind his head; amused. "No." Allison said sternly. "None of us is gonna cause any drama, not if I can help it." Allison added.

"If you guys are gonna fight, at least keep the kicking, punching and throwing things to a minimum? I'm not paying for it this time, it'll be on you two." Five snapped at the two.

Diego and Luther stopped glaring daggers at each other and continued to what they were doing. Diego eating his food and Luther reading the newspaper. The table was quiet for the entire rest of breakfast it seemed, except for the occasional bark of the puppy or the notification bell of Allison's texting app on her smartphone.

(Author's Note)
Okay, explanation of the Cinnabar and Forbidden Jolly Rancher joke.

Some Red Cinnabar Gemstones look like Cherry Jolly Ranchers.
(Jolly Ranchers are a hard candy)

It had originally came from a conversation with me and a family member and I decided to just add that into the fanfiction, along with a few other jokes, such as the Planet of the Apes, and the slipper parody of Superman. (Ah yes, the famous sleeperhero, Slipperman...)

I haven't decided a name for the little poodle yet, so if you end up reviewing this fanfiction, leave some suggestions. ;)
