"Eeeemmm. . . Hm?"
Norman sat up, this. . . This was definitely not the hospital.
It was the Peterson's?. . .
He got off the sofa, he didn't feel in pain or sick. . . He walked out of the house, was this a dream?
Then he paused.
Y e p.
A dream.
The sky was white, and these odd looking. . . Black stuff in the sky.
Some looks like cracks in the sky and others looked like glitched objects from a video game.
"Weird. . ."
?
"Mr Tom?"
He had heard of The Peterson's neighbours, an elderly couple; Mr Tom apparently sometimes watches through the window but apparently he was bound to a wheelchair.
"Mr Tom??"
He approached the window,"Mr Tom?", he waved his hand, though. . . He was hit again that he was not very tall, even for his age.
"The bloody hell?"
What was he looking at, the house?
He walked back over from the side of the fence.
"!"
A shadow like figure, a small one was climbing up the window of The Petersons!
"H-Hey! What are you doing?!"
It didn't answer.
Norman climbed after it, curious of what this dream had to offer and or what it was about even, especially with the sky.
"Hey! Can you hear me, why are you-"
Snap!
The step of the ladder broke, sending him falling but it felt like, slow motion as the figure peaked out the window and watched him fall.
He expected that as soon as he hit the ground, he'd wake up and the dream would be over-

"Oof!"
He fell. . . And didn't wake up?
He slowly sat up, no longer in Friendly Court but in the woods.
But. . . The atmosphere felt different somehow, more. . . Scary, tense and suffocating.
And that odd sky was gone.
"OVER THERE!"
Norman flinched, immediately getting to his feet and hiding in a bush.
What was going on??
3 people came running, sirens wailing as they ran into the woods.
Norman. . . Knows better, curiosity but. . . This was a dream, he had to know.
He followed their voices, soon there was silence and. . . Then raised voices, shouting from a man.
Norman peaked over the hill, spotting a lone abandoned house and group of people trying to restrain or grab a man.
"LET GO OF ME!! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!!"
"!"
"H-Hey!"
Norman ran over, he wanted to help!-
Then the scene disappeared and he stood in darkness.
. . .
Looking around, he couldn't tell what was up or down.
But a strange looking figure stood in front of him, it was tall, lanky and. . . Inhuman, just white eyes staring into him.
He was scared to move as it leaned down.
"Somtimes. . ."
. . .
"The best thing to do. . . Is to do nothing."
It touched his forehead, only to withdraw it's finger like Norman had hurt it.
It then towered over him, taking a form that he knew too well.
Crowface.
The famous story of Raven Brooks.
It launched at him, to eat him and all he could do was scream!

Norman jolted awake, his body doing that. . . Stupid thing jerk thing that happens before you fall asleep!
"Norman, hey. . . Are you feeling okay, do you need anything?"
Norman looked around him; Dad, Cornelius, Robert, Norman and Theodore.
"Hey. . ."
"You alright?"
Norman sat up, taking the glass of water from his dad,"Y-Yeah, I just. . . Had an odd dream, I don't know. . .", Ike titled his head, spinning Norman's hat in his hand,"What was it about?", Norman thought of a way to phrase it.
. . .
"Well. . ."

~

". . . And then I woke up."
Theodore nods,"Huh. . . That is an odd dream, from seeing something break into our house.", Ike continued,"To then seeing a guy in the forest being detained.", Kyle frowned,"And some. . . Shadow figure?", Norman shrugged,"I dunno. . . I've had odd dreams before, like; Getting hit by a bus, falling and or just, some other things I can't recall. . .", Robert nods,"Hm. Sounds like a lot of creativity.", "Or fear.", that was fair.
Robert nods,"So, Easter Break coming up for you all?", "Yep.", Robert smiled,"I heard from your dads, one of your assignments is to take a picture of an interesting place over the break?", Ike nods,"Yep.", Robert leaned back,"How about you kids join me and my family to a science event?", Norman's eyes lit up, Theodore. . . Seeing that made him happy,"Really?", "Of course, and I'd like to extend that offer to Quentin as well, and Beatrix.", Cornelius smiled,"You sure?", "Of course; It will be fun and educational.", Kyle has grown to trust them more, especially with how much Robert prepares for this.
"Alright. . ."
"Yay! Thanks dad!"

Using the sickle, he managed to get the ring of keys off the hook.
"Yes!"
Click
Uh oh.
They're back!
"So what's this event?"
"It's basically a science fair, they'll get to see inventions, people presenting their work and research, some awards and maybe food."
"Food!"
Yep, Ike was here.
Quentin ducked under the desk as the footsteps grew louder.
He could see Robert's legs and shoes, searching the desk for something,"It will he fun, you should definitely extend the invite to Quentin and Beatrix; Maybe they'll have fun and Lisa.", and he closed the door.
Huh. . . For a man so smart, he doesn't seem to notice what he's doing.
Quentin climbed out the window, stuffing the keys to the bottom of his school bag and the  panicked hearing them coming outside!
Without a second thought, he threw the sickle and ran to see his dad, hopefully he'll buy the excuse that he was playing with his other friends.

Though. . . A certain neighbour was not impressed with what Quentin was up to or impressed with what he threw in his yard.
