O-Zone: The Start of a Brand New Day (again), courtesty of a timequake

Unending BE - episode 150

Suddenly there was a timequake. For long minutes, there was the sound of universes crunching and grinding against each other. When the dust cleared, the episode had been completely sheared off from its parent, at least forward in time (going back in time, it could still be reached). The slate of cause and effect had been wiped clean. No longer able to find a cause for this episode, the BE AddVenture did the logical thing -- restarted.

A swirly cloud of something that looked like fog filled the room, and then faded into the night. Jim lay sleeping in a bed, covers pulled up to his chin. The clock next to him showed "6:59", then quietly flipped to "7:00" and began to beep.

Jim was asleep, and right in the middle of a very exciting dream, when the loud beeping of the alarm woke him up. He blinked his eyes a few times, rolled over and turned off the alarm. He lay there in bed for a moment, trying to remember what he was supposed to do today. Whatever it was, it had to be better than yesterday, he thought -- today is a brand new day!

After laying there quietly for a moment, Jim:

  1. *remembered it was his girlfriend's birthday.

  2. decided to go back to sleep to try to get back into his dream.

  3. heard his mother telling him he was going to be late for school.

  4. *suddenly realized he wasn't alone in his bed.

  5. *became aware that he didn't know where he was.

  6. wondered where the hell the little golden ferret perched on his chest had come from... (Heavens! I guess something managed to slip through from the parent episode...
Go back - Go to the parent episode.
