[EM] The Oddest Dream

[orbs]

Paige hadn't been sleeping too easily these last few nights. Everything that had been going on lately with her Whitelighter status, and the 'jingles' that came any time of day or night it was getting to her a bit. She had barely been able to fall asleep before she would hear one of her charges call for her and she'd have to get up and Orb away to see what was the matter.

That night she heard the sound and just rolled over. "No. Not tonight. Sleep. I am sleeping. No on the jingle," was her muffled reply into the pillow. Her one eye opened a bit waiting for the noise to return to her head, but when it didn't she sighed in relief letting herself drift back off to sleep.

The hallway at Magick school seemed a lot longer to Paige, and she wondered why she hadn't bothered to grab her shoes before Orbing out of the house. It wasn't like her, but then again things had been sort of on the chaos side of things.

"Great, now I'm Sleep-Orbing. Fantastic!" huffed Paige beneath her breath trying to stay alert just in case whoever had called for her was hiding from something bigger. She was just thankful that she had actually been wearing a two piece set of pajamas, of course the oversized pieces of candy probably didn't make it look any more normal.

The other thing that wasn't helping was that the hallway didn't seem to end. Paige was pretty sure she had been walking for at least five minutes, and still hadn't made it to the grand hall. Sure demons had taken it over recently but that didn't mean they did massive remodeling. "Okay. What gives."

As soon as she said it the door on her right suddenly opened up scaring the hell out of her as she jumped back startled. "Okay! Okay! I can take a hint! Sheeesh!"

Paige shook her head a little miffed at everything and still confused moved through the door and tipped her head to the side, because there was Phoebe coming through a door on the opposite side of the door Paige had just entered. Paige also noticed that Phoebe was pajama clad as well.

"Okay, so this just got weirder right?"

"Oooooooooooooooooooooooh, that boy is in trooooooooouble!!" She scowled, looking around for something, no idea what. Something to pinch, or poke, or yell into. "Remember the giant dragon? Ooooh, trouble trouble trouble. WYATT! WAKE UP AND LET US OUT OF HERE!!"

She knew it was him. It was the only thing that made sense. Plus, from babysitting, Chris tended to drift off when the TV was on, and Wyatt was always very attentive and enjoyed changing the channels with his mind. "I'm going to tell your Mom! WAKE UP!" She walked over and poked the wall. "Wake. Up. Now. Young. Man!!"

She looked over at Paige. "It's Wyatt. No other possibility. How in the hel--llo do we wake him up?" She poked at the wall again. "Wyatt, you better wake up before I count to three... One... two... two and a half.. two and three quarters..." She grimaced. "WAKE UP!" She looked up and shouted at the ceiling.

Paige was pretty sure screaming at the top of their lungs was not the way to get Wyatt to wake up. Because the fact that they were trapped in his dreams meant that he probably had no clue that he had done anything in the first place. She pictured Wyatt sleeping soundly smiling as he watched his two aunts freak out in his dream.

"I don't think that's gonna work," she called to her sister as she got down off her bed and began to pace. At least they had some sort of idea what they were up against. Wyatt was a demanding kid that was for sure. He had already done a lot to mix up what they had tried, and that was him not even trying to do it probably.

"Well... we know that my spell... well the bed spell worked. Not the way I wanted but still, we know Wyatt is sleeping, maybe all we need to do is focus on him and where he is, and we can jar something in his room to wake him up?" Paige shrugged her shoulders up in slight doubt, "I mean is that bad? Waking him before we are out? Ooooooh. That could be very bad, us stuck in his mind? Yeah.. never mind on that horrible plan."

Paige resumed her pacing trying to figure out how to get out of the dream before they woke up Wyatt. She glared at the Candy Land game, "Maybe we do need to play. Finish the game?"

Paige headed over to her bed, "Bed!" she shifted it aside off the board and there was the red square she had been on before. Thankfully the little blue guy was no where to be seen. "Card."

The card orbed to her hand and she moved on her own to the next blue square on the board, "Wow. Only a million more squares to go. You're turn Phoebe."

Phoebe stopped her yelling, knowing Paige was right. She'd just gone with her first impulse. Never a good idea when you'd rather be sleeping instead of being annoyed by childrens board games and cartoon characters.

"I know. I just... Ack." She rolled her eyes and headed back toward the bed, watching and listening to Paige's verbal train of thought. When Paige came to the realization they probably had to finish the game, Phoebe sighed.

"Crap. Okay." She moved back as Paige orbed the bed away, then took her place back on the board, waiting as Paige finished her turn. She reached out and pulled a card, which had the picture of a gingerbread man on it. She walked the board path, skirting Paige, and finally stopping on the space.

"Think we can cheat?" Her voice was a little loud as she called back to Paige, since there was some distance between them now.

Paige laughed, "Right, right because while in the dreaming subconscious of our impressionable nephew, who has somehow stuck us in his dream? We should save our asses by cheating. Because that's something 'else' we want to teach him."

Paige just glared at Phoebe, and orbed another card to herself. Thankfully it was the ice cream floating thing, and she just orbed herself to the square sticking her tongue out at her sister. "Besides, I'm winning... just because you are losing doesn't mean we have to cheat."
