Alex tells a doctor he can't sleep so the doc gives him pills. Oriental
Alex has his tie night shirt open, no shirt beneath, short shorts on with tie. His
sister, Cindy, has on a bathing suit with an open buttoned pair of shorts on. She
tells Doc he is faking it, that he just wants to stay home from school tomorrow.
Alex is wide eyed, "I reallly want to stay awake! I don't want to sleep!"
He falls asleep. Doc's fee: spending the night with Cindy! Alex dreams he is asleep
and floating. The dance. He is in sleeveless black tights with black leotards and
meets freckle faced Sandy who is dressed similarly. Pat and Kim are there also, both
fresh faced, both dressed the same, one holding a candle. They are called to prepare
for the dance of the opening. Once awake and doing it, they will allow the doorway
between world to open and the great dark one can pass into their home. Alex tells
Chipsa he is not so sure about this. Borgamul towers over in white form. Chipsa wakes
up and she thinks it is all way cool. She wonders if Heather is up and goes to her
room to wake her, "Are you asleep?" "I was," she murmurs. Her
cat seems awake. It is after midnight. Heather sleeps good with the talisman under
her pillow. Heather asks her if this is all just for fun. A rock band plays dance
of the dead, do it, kill the innocents, burn the bridges, and let the blood flow.
An old guy at the bar thinks it is kinda loud. A bald man, Bill, next to him asks
the bartender Terry for another. The old guy tells Bill that sometimes fantasy is
all someone has to hold onto: Star Trek, Magic Cards, like old friends. Bill prefers
reality. Bill leaves Drew's. The old guy is on the streets now with a case, feeling
low, like a loser, and that he can't hold down a simple job. An door man tells him
it is a nice night and calls him Mr. Beevieo. Borgamul tells little elf boys in straps
and small tunics over their crotches to be careful with the soul globes which show
sleeping humans. He calls for oil to deal with his little captives. A blond elf in
only shorts cannot move and is kneeling before Borgamul. Borgamul pores the oil with
magic in it on the little elf Prince's head and he shrinks and he puts it on the
head of the other blond elf (who looks a lot like the Prince and is dressed in short
shorts also). Borgamul tells them he likes them better as ornaments. The servant
boy with odd pigtail calls them toys, both are kneeling but one shrunken one seems
to have a large hair tail tied up over his head. Borgamul checks on his other project:
the old man who is on the roof in striped suit jacket and black tie. Bill hears him
yell and tells himself, "Sounds like the weirdos are out in droves these days!
Yeah, and I'm dating one." The pug faced monster man is in a brim hat and overcoat
and Bill checks him out to find out what he is doing around Heather's apartment.
Bill fights with him but is trashed ("Had enough?") and thrown down. Someone
yells from a window about calling the cops. Bill, bleeding from his nose and the
side of his face asks, "How about callin' an ambulance?" The Mistress is
crying, believing now that all her tribe held sacred is a sham. She wanted Borgamul
to be strong, brave, good. She realizes now that he is the embodiment of all that
is evil in the universe. A driver of a plane tells Fei Hoan he will love the Big
Apple, especially Chinatown. Fei Hoan--Han sleeps. The old man puts together and
fires a rocket launcher at the plane, "Now I can die!" Little boy Chen,
sucking his pacifier which is tied around his neck, sees it, "We will die!!"
He wakes up the sleeping Han whom he calls, "Fei Hoan." There is a blast
and the little boy holds onto Han as he and the older boy fall in mid air! Chispa
gets up lying next to the dozed off again Heather in bed. She wonders if that was
thunder. It is morning already. Heather has the whole spell in her head. All she
has to do is write it down. They will do the dance at class tonight, Chispa hugs
her. Heather says, "This will be a blast!!!" Cindy and the Doctor plan
and kiss after Cindy wakes up Alex with a blast of light. Alex wakes up in the costume
of his dream...the black skin tight tights with leotards. Borgmul laughs as he watches
the sleeping characters in the soul bubbles. |
