8. CHAPTER: Sweet Dreams(cape)
When I found myself standing on a beautiful meadow I instantly knew this was a dream. One of that rare dreams where you are aware that you're dreaming, moreover. I looked across the meadow only to see a setting, blood-orange sun.
I sighed and sat down, feeling a warm breeze upon my face. Dreaming was great because Bill couldn't bother me here since that deal.
"Are we enjoying the dream, doll?" When I heard that voice I instantly spun around. Only to see the guy that I thought I couldn't meet while dreaming.
"Bill get OUT this is MY DREAM!" I yelled and stood up. "DIDN'T WE MAKE A DEAL ABOUT MESSING WITH MY DREAMS?"
When I approached him he slightly backed off. "Geez, Moonstone, chill. I am not messing with anything! Just causing you a nice dream, that's all..." He smiled. "Our deal was only about causing you nightmares. And I did not do that since then, did I?"
I looked at him and started to get really annoyed. "No, but honestly, can't you just LEAVE ME ALONE FOR A WHILE? I am so tired of having you around 24/7 you can't even imagine...wait. YOU are responsible for this dream??"
He smiled and lifted his top hat. "No need to thank me, dear. Though it would be nice to hear you say thank you for once. Instead you are yelling at me again."
I snorted and crossed my arms. "Yeah...whatever..." Then I remembered something. "How can you be so sure what our deal was about? It happened half a year ago!"
Bill smiled and floated towards me. "I am sure. Let me show you why~"
While talking he pulled off one of his gloves and showed me his right arm. On his brown skin I saw a huge amount of black circles around his wrist and arm. They looked like bracelets with the difference that they were tattoos.
When I asked Bill what these were he smiled. "These are all the people I made still valid deals with. I can look at them or remind someone of them like this."
He tapped one of them with his finger and it started moving. The other circles disappeared and the one he touched started expanding. Soon it covered his entire arm. Within the big circle I saw many other small ones. There were about twenty of them.
"These are all the deals I made with you, darling. From the most recent one..." He pointed at a circle that was located somewhere at his elbow. "...to the first one." His finger touched the circle at his wrist this time and letters appeared on the palm of his hand. He read them to me.
"I will stop causing you nightmares - You will let me live with you. The deal is valid until your life ends."
Bill put on his glove again. "That's why I can tell exactly."
I snorted and turned away with my arms crossed. "Yeah...whatever..."
I couldn't remember what happened next because I suddenly woke up in my bed, staring into a familiar golden eye.
Morning, Moonstone~ He greeted me. Had nice dreams?
I had to pull it together in order not to slap his face. You know that I hadn't. I replied. He was such a jerk that I sometimes asked myself how I was able to live with him.
Then I remembered what he'd shown me last night. I looked at his arms but there weren't any circles. I saw other tattoos. Letters of an unfamiliar scripture, triangles in all shapes and sizes, but no circles.
When I asked him about them he laughed. How cute, you remember what I showed you last night! But don't worry, they are still there. I am able to alter my tattoos at any time~ The other shapes and letters started moving and disappeared while the familiar circles appeared again.
There they are, but I'd recommend you to get out of bed now. Shooting Star will wake up in exactly 24 seconds and she will instantly try to make you stand up too. I suppose you don't want to experience that?
I had to admit that his advice was helpful for once because I saw what she did to Dipper to make him get out of bed. And Bill was right, I didn't want to go through that.
We had to search for half an hour to find our restaurant where we would eat breakfast, though it was located just above us. We got lost about a hundred times thanks to Stan who continued to claim that he knew exactly where we were going. When we finally found it the buffet restaurant was crowded and we had trouble finding a table.
Apparently 9am was the busiest hour for breakfast. The food made up for the trouble. My fried egg and toast was delicious and the coffee was awesome too. My friends told me that the food was great as well and we decided to try and explore the ship after having the breakfast.
That would certainly be fun and take the whole morning since we would probably get lost even more then when searching for the restaurant.
