"No More Pizza Before Bed" 1/1
Willow sat up quickly in her bed. But it wasn't her bed that she went to
sleep in. In fact it wasn't a bed at all. It was sand. Looking around, she
noticed that it was miles and miles of nothing but sand. "I'm in a desert,"
she said to herself. "That's interesting."
"Isn't it, though?" said Oz, who appeared beside her.
Willow jumped at his voice and turned to see him. She then noticed that they
were both naked. "Um, hey. Want to tell me what's going on?" Oz looked his
former lover up and down. "You know, most people in your situation would
attempt to cover themselves up in some way."
"Well, I'm kind of stunned beyond rational thought." Willow sat there with a
confused look on her face and took another look at her surroundings. "Well,
that's good," said Oz. "Here, have some ice cream." Willow took the bowl
from him and gave him a questionable look.
"Go ahead," said Oz. "It's your favorite. Rocky Road." Willow ate a
spoonful of the ice cream. "Yeah," she said, swallowing it, "this confirms
it. This is a dream." Oz shook his head. "Yeah. Sorry about the ice
cream. I was trying to read your mind and it was either desert or dessert.
My spelling sucks so now you get both."
"I'm very confused."
"With good cause."
"Well, it sucks!"
Oz's brow furrowed. "The ice cream or the situation?"
"The situation," she said, swallowing another spoonful.
"No, it doesn't. In a minute, I'm going to go away. If this was real, that
would leave you out in the middle of a desert naked with a bowl of ice cream.
Now that would suck."
"But I don't want you to go away."
"We're not talking about that. That's not what this dream is about. This
dream is about me and you spending time together since we can't do it in the
real world."
"If this is a dream, how come I'm sweating? How come I can feel how cold
this ice cream is? Everything feels so real."
"You have those dreams all the time. Everyone does. You know when you wake
up and it feels as if you didn't dream at all or you can only remember one or
two insignificant details? That's one of the times you were having a dream
like this." Willow sat and played with her ice cream.
"You know what I don't get?" asked Oz. "How do they get the marshmallow in
Rocky Road ice cream to stay all gooey? Shouldn't it freeze like everything
else?"
"Don't know..." said Willow with a grin. "How much time do we have before I
wake up?"
"Not much."
"What do we do until then?"
Oz paused then held up a little foil packet. "Gum?"
