Ever watched something fantastic, or thought it was so fantastic that you just can't help it but smile at it? Or even better, Ever seen your dream come true, or at least one of your bigger ones? I did. And it wasn't all that fantastic as I thought it was. I sit at home, surrounded by six girls, all doing their own thing. The dream of every young man in this world right? Living alone with six beautiful girls? Even so, I still can't believe this friggin huge house was given to us. There are seven bedrooms in this house.
One is like a small library, full of books and reference guides. Also a small computer for internet information.
The second one is like a little zoo, or at least connected to one, full of animals and a warning sign. Watch out for the bunny. Almost got a frying pan in my face when I ignored it.
Number three was the messiest of them all. It had some posters of the blue angels and had some awesome signs on the wall. In comparison even my room looked clean.
Room four was the cleanest of them all. It was pure white with clothes everywhere. If you ever had clothes that needed repairing you put it in this room neatly and waited until it was done, never rushing things.
Number five was a more normal one. It was totally redecorated and made into a wooden room with a bed, some stuff in a box, and some drawers for clothes. It was normal, for a farmers home. Nothing against that but… It was so out of place.
The last one before we come to my room was… strange. I'm always afraid here, like something can attack me at any moment. It's like a jungle in there, because one little move you do wrong can give you pie, pudding, confetti, and alligator or all at once in your face.
Then we come to my room, nothing interesting, a desk with computer, bed, closet, couch… Nothing special. Except one thing. Every morning, just like today, there are people in my bed who aren't supposed to be there. When will they finally learn?
Hmm? What happened that I gave this ranting to you guys? Well… Actually it's pretty easy. We humans live our lives normally like any other. We eat, drink sleep and do thing in between. There are people who are absorbed in UFO mysteries or big foot and stuff. Some people are adults and watch cartoons. I was a teen and watch cartoons, I game, and most of all, I work and Study. So yeah… What has this to do with the story? The part in the last sentence that I say ''was''. In other words my normal human rhythm is broken. How and why? Well, this will be good, I'll tell you guys how this story I'm in started. This story, that most consider a dream…
The Guide
I was walking towards home, I just came from the Cinema and wanted to go home badly. It was far in the night, almost one in the morning but I wasn't tired. I was hardly sleepy. The thought at my father alone at home was pressing. Not so long ago my mom died. Now me and my dad live alone in an average house in the city. Nothing special, just lonely sometimes. But until now he never seemed to care much about his time alone. I actually think he tries to get over it in private. Whatever suites him. I just want to go home, to bed, and sleep like I'm going in Hibernation.
I suddenly stopped in the middle of the road and looked at my side. There was an ally that I never used but could be a short cut. Especially in the dark I would never use this ally. It was creepy, dark and even with a flashlight you wouldn't see much. But this time, this time I was thinking about it. Using the scary ally to get to home earlier. I thought about it for a minute when I continued walking. ''It's not worth the trouble.'' I said to myself and continued the road I was taking first.
I came to a crossroad where all the lights were red. I stopped and looked around me. No car in sight, but still red. With the thought about street racing devils on the road that could swipe me in a second I stayed and waited for the green light. But…instead something strange happened. The light finally decided to change to green, while the middle light started to blink orange. The lights of the cars were also blinking different colors and I noticed that every electrical device near me went haywire. Lights, phones, everything. Even my watch suddenly said It was 8…no 4… no 10, no agh, whatever.
I looked in the middle of the crossroad and saw a white light blinking in the air. I was bright and I had no chance of looking into it. I closed my eyes as the light shined brighter and brighter. I suddenly heard some screams and thuds while the light seemed to disappear. I slowly looked at the place where the light was and saw a strange scene. On the middle of the street lied six girls and one in comparison little boy. They looked groggy and tried to stand up, but somehow failed the act.
As the gentleman I am to strange events I just stood there and slowly approached the site. But I didn't expect another bright flash and fell down on my own. Luckily the flash blinded the girls also so they didn't see my fail action, but what appeared was a pretty beautiful woman in a white dress. She began to speak up and I eaves dropped without myself realizing it, because I was still dizzy because of the stupid flash.
''Ah, Human World, it has been so long. Let's see where was the place again?'' The woman said with a cheery voice. One of the girls woke up from her grogginess and talked to the woman. ''Princess, What place are you talking about?'' The woman smiled. ''Your new home. This is the place where you will live for some time until further notice.'' A third little flash appeared and this time I was just irritated that I was blinded. Before I could open my eyes I let out my frustration.
''Oh Come on! I just wanted to go home and now I'm Blinded, Grounded and whatever is happening now!'' The light faded and when I could finally see I saw that I was yelling at a blank street, there was no-one there. No human except me was on this crossroad. Well, me and the owner of that fast driving light…. ''CAR!'' I jumped up as fast as possible and ran towards the edge of the street, jumping for safety. Honking away the car passed the crossroad and left me alone with my thoughts. What the hell did I just see?
The next morning
Well, I hadn't really woken up yet, I was still thinking about last night. What did I see? I didn't have long to think about that because I got a yell from down below. ''Rick, don't you forget to go to the shops today?''
''No dad, I'm going in a few minutes.''
I quickly got of the computer after saying bye to my online friends. Quickly posted some things on the forum I was on and went down. I pulled on my jacket and went into town. I wouldn't call it a hangover, but I felt pretty wasted because of my lack of sleep. The things that happened yesterday wasn't something normal, but so familiar though. I just couldn't put my finger on it.
I went into the shopping mall and looked into some small shops, looking for the stuff I needed to gather. Small stuff for the upcoming holidays, some drinks in case of visitors, some snacks in case of visitors… Maybe I should look for something for myself too. I went to the supermarket to look for something that I could feast on when I saw them. It were those same six girls from last night. They were in front of me, a few aisles away but still there. All six. They seemed in trouble but I ignored it. I already had a headache from yesterday and didn't want any more of that.
I entered another aisle and looked for some nice piece of chocolate for myself, I suddenly craved for that. ''Dude, you saw those chicks right?'' I heard someone say behind me. I slowly turned so I could see who said that. Wait… Why did I even care? ''Yeah man, They were like totally hot… or at least the pink haired one is, she has humongous hooters.'' I blushed at the thought of what they said. I have a pretty over reactive imagination and I couldn't help it but see a pink haired girl with… Stop, there is no time for this. I said nothing to do with those girls. ''Let's get them, Let's teach them what adult fun is.'' I shivered at the comment. Did they just plan a rape or something. Now I fully turned and saw they were four guys and they looked pretty strong. Four versus one just leaves the one broken and pathetic and it has no effect. Crap I hated these kind of things. Maybe those girls are smart enough.
I paid at the cashier and left the store. Outside I saw people looking at a scene. I looked in the same direction and saw a heated argument between the blokes that stood behind me and the girls. Apparently some of the girls made some good remarks because one of the guys looked mad as hell. When I thought what he would do now I saw it happen. His fist shot forward and hit the cheek of one of the girls, the multi-color haired girl went down. While the blond wanted to help her, the guy grabbed her hair and pulled the blonde up. I saw that nobody did something, they all looked. Why did they just look? They were all older, can't they do something. Why am I not doing anything?
I was scared. So scared about what could happen to me when I helped those girls. Those strange people that appeared out of nowhere.
Yeah that was basically my train of thought at the moment, not the best but something stopped it. A whisper, that made my eyes lit up. ''Courage isn't just a matter about being frightened you know? It's being afraid and doing what you're supposed to do anyway. Just like you can do now.'' Without really realizing who said that to me I stepped forward to the scene. People began to look at me but I didn't care. The guy in that was holding the blonde didn't pay any attention to me until I was way too close for a sane being. He looked at me while I grabbed his arm. ''Let her go.''
''What did you say punk?''
''I said that you should let her go.'' I looked at the punk who was holding the blonde. I felt something well up inside me. A feeling that there were people behind me. That I wasn't alone in my actions. I slightly tightened the grip on his arm and I noticed he finally let the girl go. With a swift move he escaped my grip and he stood next to his palls. ''Wrong move pall, stealing away our prey.'' The guy pulled out a knife and tried to be intimidating towards me. I backed away. This was on a whole other level. I looked behind me and saw the effect of what that guy did. One was hit down, the second grabbed her head like it was almost pulled off and the others were tending them. I couldn't step aside. ''Damn, they got me good.'' A voice said. It was full of Ego but it was still a nice voice. It came from the girl that was hit down. She stood up beside me and assumed a position. ''Thanks for intervening dude, I'll take them from here.'' I was a little surprised by this but glad. On the other hand they still had a knife. But that was quickly solved. A swift kick passed us and it hit the knife holding hand of the punk. The kick came from the blonde girl and she also looked mad. ''Ya won't have anything to do Dash. I'll take care of them.'' With that the other four stood up behind me. I felt actually useless at that moment and the punk felt lost. He wasn't that hot anymore and decided to run with his palls.
''Thanks bud, ya'll saved my hair from being pulled out of mah head.'' The blonde Girl said happily. I nodded and looked at the one with multi-color hair and she nodded. ''Thanks, but I could handle them easily.'' I sighed at the remark and looked at the other 4 girls and the kid that was with them. They all nodded to me and I felt happy. I could help someone today. Hopefully also on other days…
We said our goodbyes at each other and I went back home. Meanwhile the woman in white was concentrating. Then she let go. This was the weird thing I saw on my way home. Well. Second best actually. When I was close to home I noticed a new large home that wasn't there this morning right? I shrugged it off and went home. Hoping to have another fun day tomorrow.
