"Why did you hug me?" Sam asked curiously.

"Because you look familiar, although I'm not sure why," Royce admitted in embarassment.

Jen all of a sudden shouted "Wait! I remember you from my dreams! You were-"

" - the hippo in my nightmare 3 years ago!"

Royce looked annoyed. "So?"

Jen was in shock because -

The hippo was changing colors, from gray to blue, to green...until, suddenly, it disappeared!
Royce looked at Jen,
"That was weird."
Jen looked back, and there were tears in her eyes. Quietly, she said -

"Sam, I just want to be normal again!"

Tom rolled his eyes. "Took you long enough."
just then -

Sam announced, "I know why the hippo disappeared!"
Tom and Jen stared at him. "Why?"
"It has to do with that nightmare of yours, Jen! Tell me, during those nightmares, did there ever appear... a walking lampstand?"

~Riella

"Yes," Jen replied, "But why do you ask?"

Sam pointed to a walking lampstand that was preparing to charge at them.

"Oh no!" Jen shrieked. "If I remember my dream correctly, it's going to strangle me!"

Sam grabbed Jen and flung her in the air.....

She kept going higher and higher, until she was in outer space. Strangely, she found herself able to breathe. "This is odd," she thought. "How am I able to breathe in space?"

~Riella

Sam suddenly came floating past her.
She turned and saw Tom coming as well and both of them had oxygen masks. But she herself did not have one. what was going on? Jen was scared.

Suddenly she noticed something. She was wrapped up in Saran Wrap (sp?)! How did that happen? And how did that make it easier to breathe, instead of suffocating her more?

~Riella

Jen calmed down and looked around. the stars were amazing!
and then -

She noticed the stars looked close. Very close. And they were moving toward her, making a humming sound. Suddenly --

~Riella

a large star exploded. Jen opened her mouth to scream. But as she did, she realised she couldn't breathe!

A star off to the right called out to her. It said -- "Hey you! If you want to be able to breathe again, move your arms to propel yourself and come closer to my light!"

~Riella

Jen was desperate, so she obeyed. as she moved, she found she could breathe easier!
Jen smiled, but then she saw that Sam was gone! and Tom was too! oh no!
