Yes, I can see you.
Let's begin....
It was a day that was not particularly dark or stormy, and my family and I Were walking through one of disney's parks. We went on rides, watched plays, and basically did what people do at Disneyworld. We then went to Epcot, where I first got a hint that something was weird. Because, on the ground, there was a Minecraft silverfish. But not a silverfish as in blocky, silver, and pixelated. An actual real silverfish, still a bit blocky, brown and mottled to camouflage with the bark.
I'm sure you know about alive-ness. In a picture of an entire buffalo herd, you can always find the one buffalo made by CGI, no matter how real it looks. The silverfish had that real-ness, so I quickly asked dad to let me take a video of it with his I-phone. As I started recording... I woke up. The end.Yes. you heard me.
I woke up. That's it.
Except for that next dream....
Two days later (today) I had another dream.
It was one of those long dreams that you can't remember the beggining of. I remember little snippets - falling to the ground off of a high tower, an evil guy (judging by his baldness and maniacal laugh), a monkey, a jeep, falling buildings, other escaped animals, a flood, a helicopter. Somehow needing to escape. Going to the mountains. Coldness. Snow.
Then I woke up at the crack of dawn and walked to The Structure. It isn't actually called the structure, I forgot the word after "the" (I think it begins with a C). The Structure was a T-shaped building with all sorts of stuff in it. A girl walked up to me.
I immediately knew three things: The girl's name was Skateboard, her father was a policeman, and she designed rollercoasters and complex technology. She was almost as short as me and kind of sort of (maybe) possibly hot. (I just remembered! I think The Structure was called The Compound!)(deliberately attracting attention away from what he just said with exclamation marks)
Anyways, (changing subject) [SHUT UP, PARENTHESES!!!] (no.) [Fine. hmph] (did you just hmph me?!?!?!?!) [Yes.] (!!!!) (well then, hmph right back to you!) [Can we just get on with the story?] (fine.)
Cough... Anyways, two other kids walked up to me. I knew that they were my older and younger brothers. We talked about something, and said goodbye. Then Skateboard's dad pulled me to the side and told me the password to get inside the compound for some reason. He also gave me two little animals that looked like Japanese rice cakes in the form of Hershey's kisses, except they were alive (again with the alive-ness). I thanked him and went to play on the computer. I played this game that I think was Spore, except with more parts and buildings.
A while into my gaming, Skateboard pulled me aside. "I need to show you something" She dragged me towards the right part of the T, entered a code, and opened a door. Inside were about a thousand or more of the rice cake creatures. She explained to me that each had feelings and a brain. They had chosen mine because it volunteered. I came close to the rice ball creature and growled "I'm gonna eat you!" The creature jumped out of my hand and ran around the room. I caught it and reassured it that I wasn't gonna eat it, then gave my attention back to Skateboard and started asking questions. "What are they? When did you find them? Where did they come from? Who are you exactly? What are they?"
"You said that already" pointed out Skateboard "And I'll answer all your questions later. First-"
"Come over here, Andres!" yelled one of my brothers. After tending to a rice cake that had split open (spilling it's beany contents), I went to my brothers. My little brother had turned into/possessed/was driving a beetle, while my older brother drove another beetle around with a remote control. After an intense chase scene, to be blunt, my younger brother had his insides sucked out by a bigger beetle. With heavy hearts and eyes full of tears, we went to bed.
That night I couldn't sleep. I got up and walked to The Structure/Compound/Fortress. When I got to the keypad, I forgot the combination. I was about to go back to bed, when Skateboard came and unlocked the door. I followed her inside and saw a bunch of grown-ups looking serious, with Skateboard in the middle of them, looking at the computer. "What's happening?" I asked. Everybody turned to look at me as I rattled on the questions I had asked Skateboard and a few more. "Andres..." said Skateboard as I look at the computer. She had just posted a blog on my account. I started toward the computer. I could see the title: Log of the Starship: 1800 Hours, The Structure, Critical Stage. I knew that if I read it, I would understand everything, so I started to read.
"I had a dream. A dream about Disneyworld, adventure, Minecraft, bugs, and japanese rice cakes. And, also, a girl named Skateboard. Now, as it is my sworn duty to-"
I woke up. "no!" I exclaimed. I immediately came down and started blogging. Then I woke up for real.
I truly didn't realize I was writing the same thing as my dream at the beginning. I did, however, change the title to what it is now. I don't know what this means or why I got this dream, but I do know it's cool and one of the most blogworthy things I've ever encountered. I hope I get a follow-up dream for an explanation someday. I've also had the strange feeling that Skateboard, Lollipop, and Sam have been watching me as I write. I also want Skateboard to know that she is now a part of our team. Congratulations! Well, I guess that's the end. Bye!
