Eternal Dream Chapter 2

The Passage Full House

I woke up in my dream, got out of bed and climbed up the dresser ladder, crouched ontop of it and opened the mirror, this served as a secret passageway to the livingroom. So I go over and turn the TV of our house, which looks so much bigger when you're actually IN the house; talking about the house, not the TV; and there was nothing on, but the Emergancy Alert System, so I banged the TV and a short burst of the blaring noise comes out of the TV, so then I bang it harder, because I was too stupid to know that that's not how you fix it, and the noise goes longer, and then I bang it REALLY REALLY hard and the noise stays on there almost forever! So then I run back to the inclined room and go back into the basement, where I gain access to my secret computer room, which the walls are half lime green and half cream colored.

So I turn on the computer which is capable of speech.

"UGH!!! THAT THING'S NEVER GONNA SHUT OFF!!!" I yelled.
"Calm down." The computer said.
"How do I get that thing to stop? I can still hear it from in here."
"Well, you see, there is a break in one of the TV's circuit boards, and the only way to fix it, is to go and fix it from the inside." The computer said.
"And what do I use if I'm the one who goes and fixes it?" I asked.
"Go down to the basement and you will find your answers." the computer said.
"Basement, right." I said going back down to the basement, my computer room is in my room.

Later in the basement...

"God, they don't have any lights do they?" I said as I found a lantern laying by my feet. "Ah, is this one of the items I'm supposed to find? Nah, probably not, this basement has been dark like this for years." I said.

I soon picked up a small box and examined it, it said CBG, so I picked it up and looked for the next item, and I found it, but my lantern dimmed on the way back up to the computer room and went out, I could still hear the Emergancy Alert System eminating from   the TV, but the computer told me what to do with the items.

"That's a shrinkray, you need to be small enough to access MY curcuit boards, because the TV and I are connected by wires and curcuit boards, so technically, you are hearing the voice of the Emergancy Alert System." The computer said.
"Okay, I'm going now." I said shrinking myself to fit into one of the wires.
"Good luck kid, fix that TV." The computer said.

Blackness swallowed me, but then lines on the wall, glowed florecent green, the place looked like I got sent into the Tron world, except they were all  green instead of red and blue. The walls were the only thing illuminating the place.

"Wow, what is this place? I just materialized here and stuff, and uhhh..." I paused.
"WHO'S THERE?!?!?!!!" A teenaged boy's voice yelled.
"No, who's THERE?!" I shouted back.
"gah, I guess I gotta come out of the shadows now." The boy said coming out of the wall with a Program/User suit on.
"Where did you come from?" He asked.
"I won't answer unless I get a name from you." I said.
"Gah, name's Edward." He said sighing.
"How did you get here?" I asked.
"Oh you know, the TV's on the blink, so yeah, this is the only place I could ever think of going." He said.
"Brother...why don't you ever wait for me..." A higher pitched voice said.
"Alphonse, I don't know who she is or why she's not wearing our attire, like us Users wear." He said.
"Lets go get something for her." Alphonse said.

So we went to a hole in the wall and pulled a female User suit out of it, and I tried it on.

"I like this, oooh, and the lines are changing the spectrum too." I said looking at my hands.
"Mine's red and yellow, and his are tan and green." Edward said.
"Okay, can we go fix the TV please?" I said starting to walk along the green and black circuit boards that were the floor.
"So, where's the gash in the system?" I asked.
"A little farther, but not much." Alphonse said.

I looked ahead and there was a coral colored opening in the floor where sparks of electricity were coming out.

"We must be inside the TV now." I said.
"Uh huh." Edward said.
"So, do you have anything to patch that hole up?" Alphonse asked.
"Yeah, some CBG or whatever." I said.
"CURCUIT BOARD GLUE?!?! OH MY GOD!!! WHERE DID YOU FIND THAT?!?!" Edward shouted.
"Uh...my computer gave it to me." I said.
"Well, whatever, let's patch that thing up." Edward said.

As we approached we heard the Emergancy Alert System get louder.

"Oh dear god no." I said.
"Cover your ears kid." Edward said.
"It's Katharine!!!" I shouted at him.
"Take some glue out of the box and spread it on the gash." Edward said.
"Uh...okay. Sure." I said.

As we got closer, the blairing noise started to sound like someone talking.

"Help...me..." The voice said.
"Who's saying that?!" Edward shouted.
"Please...help...me..." The voice said again.
"Okay, this is going nowhere fast." Edward said, throwing the glue box into the gash.
"Why do you...hate me so..." The voice said.
"Hate me so..." The voice then echoed throughout the circuitboards.
"Uh...we gotta run..." Edward said.
"Um...yeah." Alphonse agreed.
"Why? What happened?" I asked.
"The system's gonna blow." Edward said.
"Did the glue work?" I asked.
"Yeah, but we used too much." Alphonse said.

The only way out looked like a hallway with blackness at the end of it. No more green on the walls.

"Hey...how much more running..." I asked losing my breath a bit.
"There's a bit of light up ahead." Edward said.
"But...that's gonna...take...forever...to get there..." I said gaining more weakness.
"Not much longer." Edward said.


"OWWW!!!!" Alphonse yelped.
"What's the---" Edward shouted staring at Alphonse's body being sucked into the disolving circuit boards.
"Help me..." Alphonse shouted.
"Grab my hand!!" Edward shouted.
"Got...it..." Alphonse shouted tightening his grip on Edward's.

Edward managed to pull Alphonse out of the disolving metalic floor, before he got sucked under and suffocated from lack of air.

"phew...I got you out..." Edward said panting from the strain and exhaustion that he pressured on himself.
"Now let's get out of here." I said running towards the light.
"Yeah." Edward said following behind me with Alphonse's arm over his shoulder because the lower half of his body went numb from the floor sucking him in.
"I'm alright brother..." Alphonse said.
"Now let's get out of here." Edward said.

We ran through the darkness and crashed out of the TV, still in our program/user outfits. Not much later, the suits disolved and turned back into our clothes.

"I'll see you soon, Ed." Alphonse said fading away.
"No. Where are you going?" Edward asked.
"I'm going---" Alphonse was cut short due to his complete fading out of the world.

Edward stood where Alphonse had once stood and found the red pony-tail that was in his hair.

"Alphonse..." Edward said to himself.

"There is no limit to the immagination and what you can do with your life, but when your life is over you either go to heaven or hell, simple as that." I said
"Depends on what kind of a person you are." Edward said.
"Did he die?" I asked.
"I don't know." He said.
"If you want to find me, you know where I am." Alphonse's voice came out of the TV.
"Alphonse!! Where are you?!?" Edward shouted.
"If you want to find me, you should know where to look." Alphonse's voice said.
"Let's go back into the TV, Alphonse has got to be there." Edward said.
"GUYS!!! HELP ME!!" Alphonse shouting blared from the TV.
"1...2...3...JUMP!!!" I shouted pulling Edward back through the TV screen with me.

We got our User/Program suits back.

"Alphonse!" Edward ran over to a nearly unconsious Alphonse.
"Bro...ther..." Alphonse said weakly to Edward.
"Try to hang on for me, alright?" Edward said.
"Okay..." Alphonse said while his body still disolves into the floor where the gash was.
"Katharine, can you go shut the computer off for me?" Edward asked.
"Yeah, why?" I asked.
"The computer's still supplying the energy to the TV to disolve the curcuit boards." Edward said.
"I can't shut off Computer, she's like my only friend." I said.
"It will help greatly." Edward said.
"Alright. But how will I get back in." I asked.
"TV." Edward said.
"Okay, see you in a bit." I said coming out of the TV.

So I walked to the computer room, which was the only thing illuminating the halls. I opened the door and stepped inside.

"I'm sorry computer, but I have to shut you off...you're draining the TV's power." I sadly said to the computer.
"But why, Katharine?" The computer asked.
"You heard me. But...I hate to do it to you, you're my best friend." I said sadly.
"Oh alright." She said.

I hesitantly reached for the switch in the back of the computer, as an emoticon for sadness appeared on the screen.

"I'm sorry, but this is how it has to be..." I said.

I shut off the computer, and the Emergancy Alert System stopped blairing at once.

"Phew..." I said.
"TO THE TV!!!" I shouted running from the computer room through the basement and into the livingroom, where I dived into the TV and into the circuit board world.

"Welcome back." Edward said as my female Program/User suit materialized over my body once again.
"Yeah, good to be back." I said.
"So, how do you like this place now?" Alphonse asked wincing at the emmence pain from his waste down.
"I hope this world is better for you two in the future." I said as the green on the walls changed to white, as a symbol of hope.
"Wow..." I said.
"Yeah, isn't it beautiful?" Alphonse asked whiping a tear from his left eye.
"What's happening to this place?" I asked.
"It's changing back, the computer was overdriving the circuit boards." Edward said.
"So, that was my fault?" I asked.
"No, no, it was the computer." Edward said.
"Oh good, I'm glad it wasn't my fault." I said.
"But you _are_ at fault somewhat." Edward said.
"At least it all wasn't completely my fault." I said.
"I gotta go home now, I'm glad I got to see you guys again, for the last time." I said.
"You'll see us again. You'll see us in your next dream. I promise." Edward said.

So, I woke up, and I said:

"That was the happiest dream I've ever had."

And it truely was. I'll never forget those boys: Edward and Alphonse Elric.

I was glad to have lived after that.

A dream, is like memory, one to not forget. Some can seem realistic and some can seem quite fake. Dreams last for a while and then you'll awake. When you're tired and the day is through, fall asleep and dream, it's a great thing to do.

I soon fell asleep again, and I fell into a deep slumber.

"Katharine." A voice said.
"Katharine?" Another voice asked.
"Wha?" I asked.
"Oh Katharine, I'm glad you're alright." Edward said.
"How'd I get back here?" I asked.
"What, on Earth?" Alphonse asked.
"Yeah, it's amazing, I thought I just woke up." I said.
"You're back, and that's a good thing. We can return to our homeland in Animenia." Edward said.
"Can I come with you?" I asked.
"But you're actually from reality, it's going to be hard to have a phisical form come into Animenia." Edward said.
"Come on Ed, what harm will it do?" Alphonse asked.
"I dunno, why not." Edward said.
"YAY!! THANK YOU!!!" I said smiling cutely.
"Don't mention it." Edward said.

We went out the door, there was a purple ocean, the moon was a pale pink lit up circle, no craters, just a smoothe circle. It came closer.

"Come on Katharine." Edward said, putting his hand into the moon, which was actually a wormhole.

"What's going on?!" I shouted as the world behind us faded and we were bouncing around in the "Portal."

"Relax, we'll be alright." Edward said.

I soon realised it was a portal to the past.

"Whoa...hold on, is this..." I said jawdropped.
"Yeah, you're home now...but this is the Animenia version, Animenia is always set 6 years ago..." Edward said.
"Oh. That means..." I paused to see Edward and Alphonse getting younger again.
"WHOA!!!" I shouted.
"Yes...see Katharine, this is why I like it here." Edward said.
"Is this where those people took you?" I asked, as my legs fused together and golden scales materialized over them. My Naga tail was back. "Yeah, I told you, and this was where I learned Alchemy. Here, our mother never died from some sickness, and our father never left us." Edward said.
"I'm glad that everything's good here." I said.
"Alphonse, are you tired?" Edward asked.
"Yeah, all this: Naga Thaw, Animenia to Earth, then to the other side of the gate, then 'Shambala' then to some parelel computer world, and then back to Animenia again..." Alphonse said.
"Yeah, I miss everything." I said.
"Katharine, behind you..." Edward said.
"CLOUDLAND?!?!? OXIGENE?!?!? NAGA THAW?!?!? wow..." I said shocked.
"Yeah, you can live life here with us now, and meet our mother and our father." Alphonse said.
"And you guys can meet mine!!!"
"Katharine, darling!!" Lita said hugging me.
"Mom...I...I love you..." I said.
"Welcome home Katharine." Jin said.
"Did you guys meet my friends yet?" I asked.
"Why no, before Cloudland was destroyed, we actually got away somehow, so we didn't die, even though you thought we did, so you're talking to your real parents here." Lita said.
"Um...mom...I missed you so much." I said, crying.
"Cheer up, our planet may have been destroyed but our clouds and our city were transported here, so there's no point in crying." Jin said.
"How could our planet be destroyed without the cities being destroyed too?" I asked.
"Clouds come and go, and it landed here. But not the shell of the planet, just the things that made our planet." Lita said.
"Katharine." Edward said.
"What?" I asked.
"I love you." He said.
"Me too Ed." I said

"Is Animenia making you unstable Alphonse?" Edward asked.
"I think so..." Alphonse said.
"Aw god I'm so hungry." I said putting a hand over my stomach.
"Me too, I'll get Alphonse some Animenian medicine and I'll get us something to eat." Edward said.
"The Naga Thawnian Special, if they have it here." I said.

Soon after, I heard the Animenia Portal thunder to a close, litterally, sounding like thunder from an electrical storm.

"Oh no! What was that?!" I shouted.
"God...the portal's locked! Now we'll NEVER get out of here! DAMMIT!!!" Edward shouted.
"Relax Edward." I said.
"I closed it you little bastard." A strange voice said.
"Who the HELL?!?!" Edward shouted.
"Come on Fullmetal Pipsqueak, don't you even know who I am?" The voice said.
"No way..." Edward said.
"I know you don't care for me, so I just felt like pissing you off by closing the portal." The voice said.
"Envy...how in the HELL did you get here?!!" Edward shouted.
"Hmmph...I have to tell you don't I..." Envy said.
"Yes you do." Edward said.
"Fine...I followed you three...happy?" Envy said.
"Where's your friends?" Edward asked.
"Friends?! I'm glad I got rid of the other humonculi...they piss me off...especially that little runt who's always shouting for his mother...'Mommy! Where are you? Mommy I need you!' ugh...It makes me sick..." Envy said.
"Well, whatever, unlock the portal NOW!!!" Edward shouted.
"Why? What do YOU need it for?" Envy asked.
"See that girl over there?" Edward asked.
"And your point is?" Envy asked.
"She's not from here, she could die any second." Edward said.
"So? I love watching people squirm..." Envy said.
"Open the portal dammit." Edward said.
"Here, Fullmetal Pipsqueak...go and put her back in the portal." Envy said hesatantly
"Sorry Katharine, I think you've been here too long." Edward said picking me up and putting me in front of the portal.
"Edward, does it really have to end this way? I can come back...right?" I asked.
"I'm afraid not." Edward said.
"Can we take a picture?" I asked.
"Sure, don't lose it...its the only memory of Animenia." Edward said taking out a camera.
"Everyone! Alphonse! You're alright!" I said.
"Yeah, I was just a bit dizzy." Alphonse said.
"Smile!" I said as I set the camera up to auto and slithered back to Alphonse and Edward, Envy wanted to get in the picture too I guess, cause he came over.
"SMILE!!!" I said as the camera flashed.
The picture came out of the camera and I walked up to the portal with it in my hand.
"Good luck Katharine." Edward said.
"Can I close the damn thing again?" Envy asked.
"Go ahead." Edward said.
I found myself laying unconsious on an orange beach and I looked up at the moon.
"I hope you guys have a nice life...I have to go back home." I said to myself. I then looked at the picture and it was completely black, as if the picture itself was still floating around in the portal.

At the end of the beach, I looked back, one more time at the moon and I started to cry.
"Edward...Alphonse...I'll miss you." I said crying.

I then ran back into the circut board world and my female User/Program suit materialized over my body once more, I then found where the TV was and jumped through the screen. My female User/Program suit disolved back into my clothes, I then looked at the circuit board world once more for the last time on the other side of the TV before I turned it off and I went back to the basement where my computer room was, went into the computer room, stepped onto my holotraspo to my room, came out onto my dresser climbed, down the ladder, and laid my head down on the pillow and fell fast asleep.

I could've sworn...it wasn't a dream...But, still was that all? Of course not, there were many more adventures to come.
