《The Final Countdown》Day 364 (Pt 1): The Dream World
Advertisement
lice is at her favorite place in town, waiting for John and Maria to show up. She's glad to have a change of scenery as she stares out the window and into nature. She calms down and takes a deep breath when!
"A Starbucks? This is the place you wanted to meet up? How is this calming?" John asked. He put his stuff down and sat across from her. "That's like going to a rugby game because you hate football."
Maria rushes in. "Oh, this Starbucks? I thought that you meant the Starbucks on the other side of town!"
"I said, 'The one next to the IHOP.'"
"Oh, I thought you said, 'The one next to the Crackelbarrel!"
"It was a text message!"
"And I was tired when I read it! I thought I would have to drive to the other side of town!"
"Good grief." John sighed to himself. "Anyways, are we going to talk about yesterday?"
"What about yesterday? The part where I fainted or the part where you randomly shouted 'EUREKA!!!'" The entire place awkwardly stares at Alice, John, and Maria.
"Was that really necessary? Nevermind, doesn't matter. I have an idea. What if instead of trying to stop the Moon from crushing the Earth, why don't we try to stop whatever causing the Moon to crush the Earth.
"But how do we do that?" Alice questioned. "We have no way of knowing what caused it."
"Maybe, a good night's sleep could do it. In fact, if a normal person could have not one, but two visions of the future, then maybe we could try to enter her brain and try to trigger another one."
"But let's be real here, we don't even know if those visions are real!"

"True that, but still! This is all like from some sort of fantasy world, then maybe we could use foil to link up our brainwaves to sort through your brain and inspect to vision to see if it was a dream or not."
"That doesn't make any sense!"
"You're vision doesn't make any sense!"
"That's what I said!"
"I know, but if you tackle an illogical problem with a logical solution, it probably won't work! Let's just try it, okay?!"
"Fine!" Alice stormed off with Maria and John following her. They went to her house and tried his idea. They got the foil and used it to connect their heads after drinking hot cocoa. "Wait, why are you wearing a cape?"
"Uh, cause they're awesome! Duh." John continued to scoff as Alice rolled her eyes and Maria snickered. "Ready, guys? On one!"
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
John opened his eyes and looked around. All he saw was a gray tunnel and a light at the end. He was separated from the others without knowing. He touched the wall of the tunnel. Though it felt like it was made out of concrete, he instantly knew what it was. Confident, he ran towards the light.
Maria opened her eyes and looked around. She too saw a gray tunnel with a light at the end of it. "What is going on?" She touched the walls and was confused. "Hello! Can anyone hear me? John? Alice?" In an act of desperation, she ran towards the light.
Alice opened her eyes and looked around. Similar to John and Maria, all she saw was a gray tunnel with a light at the end. She felt around, hoping to find something that could possibly be of help to her. She touched the wall, but she couldn't tell what it was. She thought of John and Maria and what they would do. Worried for them, she decided to run into the light.

"Maria! Alice!" John yelled out. "Where are you guys?"
"John? Can you hear me?"
"Alice? Is that you?"
"John? Alice? I can't see anything!"
"Everyone, keep your eyes closed! Just run straight ahead!" John, Alice, and Maria proceeded to run straight ahead. Eventually, they got out of the blinding light and into the middle of the foil. "Good, you guys are here. Theoretically, all we have to do is run back into the light and-"
"No way," Maria complained. "Nuh Uh! I'm not going back in there."
Alice patted Maria's shoulder, comforting her. "Look, Maria, we have to. How else are we supposed to inspect her vision?"
"Ugh, fine." They all ran back into the light, but this time, they ran into the direction Alice came from.
"Woah, what's this?" Maria asked as the three of them walked into what seemed to be a house full of memories: Alice's memories.
"Okay, guys. Alice, look upstairs. Maria, help me see if there's a place where her dreams are stored." The group split up. After a while, Maria found something behind a bookshelf.
"Wait, is this what I think it is?" Maria finds and touches a door with a sign on it reading "Alice's Dreams."
John walks up to Maria and yells for Alice to come downstairs and check it out. "Yep. Dream World, here we come."
They entered through the rusty, old door and almost immediately looked around to see infinite streams of Alice's memories from her dreams, the majority of them were forgotten and black, stemming from a rainbow glowing orb.
"Woah." Everyone paused and exclaimed in accidental unison, staring at the rainbow, glowing, majestic orb in pure awe.
Alice slowly walked over to the orb, as if it was calling her name, and noticed a special memory, a special dream, a vision. "This is it. This is what I saw that night." The moon was in a straight collision course with the Earth.
John walked up to her, looking around him. "But how do we enter it, the vision?"
"Didn't you say earlier something about focus?" Maria runs over to them. "Like, if she focused hard enough, she can go in?"
John steadily turned around, shocked by Maria's statement. "No, but that's a really good idea! Maria, you're a genius! " John thought to himself. "Maybe, she could take us with her!"
