The Dream Problem

It was one of those boring days at school when you wait until its 2:00pm. Everyone is waiting, staring at the time. Asking, when will it end? I was the number one person that was doing that, daydreaming of things after school, and getting a 200inch plasma television with an Xbox360 online all day playing with my cousin. I daydreamed that there was noise on the roof of the school. We heard claws. Finally, there was a 360-degree angle on the roof. What was that? Was it supposed to be there? A minute later that small circle fell. WOW! Everyone shouted. I was excited that something actually fun happened in school. Small animals were coming through that hole. More holes were coming. An invasion on the school. I thought. CATS!!! They were everywhere. I was so excited. A cat flew onto my head." Ahhhahhahhhhhh!!!" I screamed. Cats surrounded us. Mr. Bond, James Bond, called the dog company. Two hours later, the puppies and some hamsters were at Dude Elementary. They were all so little and so cute with their small puppy ears and noses. They scared the fur off those stinky old cats. Then 2 of my friends woke me up. Larry and Bob. Bob is hyper and has adhd. Larry is normal, but has a peanut sized head. They woke me up. I was drooling all over my desk. I was something like, huh? What happen, did I miss math? Some days later I was day dreaming again. Now it was about chickens! I was fighting chickens on Chicken Island. I had a rubber chicken as my weapon, what a weapon! Then I was climbing walls like spider-man on a cliff. Chickens were trying to fly. Then they did. AHHHHHHHH, I screamed. Then with my spider web, I got away. Finally it was it was 10 minutes to 2:00pm. Larry woke me up. I was drooling all over my shirt and my shoes. I asked Larry if I missed Science. He thought I was crazy. I went back to daydreaming. I daydreamed that I got home I asked my mom if Matt can come over. Matt is my friend from my baseball team. While I waited for him to get here I daydreamed a wonderful palace. And I saw everyone in my family doing something they usually do. Computer, cook, sleep and my dog sleep too. Finally Matt came. But I didn’t notice. I just went on, daydreaming. Matt tried to wake me up but I was busy. I was trying to figure out a prefect daydream for myself, and I got one. It was perfect, okay, so here it is. On my way to my cousin’s house some paper kidnapped me. To bad I didn’t have any sharp materials but I had a bat, a glove, and 2 tennis balls and 1 baseball. I was thinking of hitting the paper people with my bat, I was thinking really hard. Then I remembered that I was SPIDER-MAN. Then I warned the kidnappers, they ignored me. So I tried to escape. But they had extra eyes on their backs. So I used my spider webs to block their attacks. Later after the battle I got out and called the cops with my cell phone. I was coming up on the steps to my cusins house and then Matt punched me in the arm because I was ignoring him and he woke me up, so I missed the part when I get to my cousins house. Matt and I went to Fallen field to play baseball. I saw my other friend there, his name is Ed. Ed is a type of a althletic person like me. We like sports and video games and he's really smart. Matt, Ed, and I played a game called Off The Wall. Ed won and Matt lost. Then after the game of Off The Wall, Matt and I went back home and played video games. We play Gears Of War. I met my cousin online on Gears of War. I asked what server he was on so I can go play with him. He told me and I joined the server. Dario was on the other team. I wanted to kill him so I took a sniper and found the perfect sniper spot. I spotted my cousin and waited for the right time. Then I finally blew my cousins characters head off. Dario asked me if he can sleep over. I asked my mom, and she said that he can. I told him to bring the things that he usually brings at sleepover's, and a extra controller and a baseball glove. Dario is a giant. He’s tall. He's 6.8 and he’s 328 lb and he’s only 15 years old. He likes sports also like Ed and I do, and he's really smart also. I was excited so I got everything ready. Friday night, nothing better then Friday night, except Saturday night. It’s awesome! So I was waiting on the porch all excited, then I was having a daydream. I saw a U.F.O. in the sky. I was scared and I screamed. I ran into the house and told my mother a U.F.O.; she said I was crazy, so I showed her. My friend’s mom called the F.B.I. Matt was soooo scared. So I became Spider-man, again. I shot my spider web out and held the U.F.O. until the F.B.I. came. 36 minutes later the F.B.I. came and were surprised that the U.F.O. was as big and a 2 tanks. But I held on to it with all my strength. But I was struggling. They tried to help me but it was to hard. The U.F.O. was too strong and I let go of it. It flew of into space and I tried to stop it but my web didn't work. I tried to fix it but the U.F.O. was probably over 4 light years away. I was tired and the F.B.I. thanked me for trying. I went back inside, tried and I needed something to eat. I heard Dario. He was saying wake up. I got up right away. Dario wanted to play video games right away. I asked him if he was hungry, he wasn't. I was hungry so I made myself pasta with sour cream. I ate the whole batch of pasta. I was full so I went to my room and played Gears of War with Dario. We stayed up until 4am eating chips, playing with Haidi, my dog. I woke up at 2pm, and I was sooo tired. My mom made lunch for my dad and sister, and she made breakfast for Dario and me. We had crapes, with chocolate. After that Dario and I went outside with Haidi. Dario wanted to ride bikes so I got onto the bike. I told my mom to call Haidi in. We went to the Roslindale train station to see the train squash a penny, a soda can, and some of my gum and we put it on the train tracks to see what would happen to the 3 objects. Then I had a daydream that the train wouldn’t come and we waited almost 30 minutes for the train. Then we left the station and when we got to my house, we heard the train roar. Dario woke me up and warned me that the train was going to come in 3 minutes. So we waited. 6 minutes later, I heard the electricity in the tracks. Then I heard the train. Since it was 3 minutes late, I thought it wasn’t going to come. But it did. The penny, gum, and the soda can shook. A couple of seconds later something louder than a bomb going off went right past me. The force of the train almost made me fall. Only 2 of the objects went squash under the 1 million ton train, the soda can fell off. We went on the tracks to find the lost penny and the gum. We only found the penny, and we took our bikes and went home. When we got home I showed my mom the penny and the soda can. The gum got suck on the train wheel. But it was cool. We did everything today. I had a couple of firecrackers and I put some of the firecrackers in the potato. It blew up and some of the potato went on me. I had to go change. I had to put on shorts, and long sleeve shirt, and some big socks. I felt unusual, I felt like Bob when he had the stinky pants at school. I asked my mom if I could have the other clothes that were in the dryer. I asked her to hurry up and so she did. The dryer went crazy. I could hear it from my room, even when the doors were closed. When I heard the beep, I went down to the dryer to see what happened. It was nasty. Some of the clothes fell out and got dirty, and some stayed in. I took the basket and put all the clothes in it. I took it upstairs to my mom’s room to drop it on the bed so I can do my chore. I had to put each clothing in the right pile to send it to the right person. I found my clothes and I put them on. I felt like Ervin again. I went outside and met up with Dario again and I took a couple of firecrackers with me. We went to Fallen field to light some. They burn up quickly so I had to be quick. We had a couple of matches and we lit 8 firecrackers and had 3 more matches left. I had to go back to my house to return the matches. We had more matches in the garage, so I took them. I hurried back to Fallen Field with my matches and Dario was waiting there. I had 250 matches with me. We lit up 58 matches 41 for the firecrackers, and 17 for the ants and the plastic we found. After we lit up the things, we went back home and ate lunch. I made pizza pockets. Dario and I love those. Dario wanted ginger-al but ginger-al doesn’t taste good with pizza pockets so I bought Pepsi. We went to my room to play Gears of War again. This time I met Matt on Xbox live. I asked him if he wants to play co-op with me to get achievements. He didn’t want to so I just joined the game that he was playing. He was playing Execution, Canals, and he was an alien and I was a human. It was 4 vs. 4, Ed, Dario, Mel, and I was on one team, Matt, Gary, Larry, Bob were on the other team. Mel is Matt’s brother, and Joe is Bob’s cousin. We played the first team to get to 19 wins. We won the first 10 games, and then we lost 9 games. They had 9 wins. We had 10 wins. We needed 9 more wins to get victory against the aliens. Everyone on my team died except for me. It was 3 vs. 1. I had to kill them, so I took the Hammer of Dawn. I killed 2 people with it, and then I took my shotgun and went up to Matt and blew his head off. I was the master of this game. I only died once and had 1,256 points, in 1 game. Then at the last game I died right away. Matt got revenge. It was unbelievable, how’d he do that? I was shocked, but we still won the match. I was tired, my fingers hurt, so I took a break and let Dario play two player, if he dies he plays for me, or he uses my character first and dies and uses his. I went to the kitchen and got something to eat. I took a Sponge bob ice cream out of the freezer. Later when I finished eating the first ice cream, I took another out of the freezer, and another, until the freezer was empty, no more ice cream. I ate 7 ice creams. Then I went back to my room, Dario died on both characters, and I joined. Dario wasn’t even a bit bored of that game. I thought he would get crazy with that game so I turned the Xbox360 off and we went outside. We took the bikes and we went all over the village. We went to the train station, we went to the library, we went to the grocery store, but we didn’t go in, we just ride near the places. The closest place we were near was my other cousin’s house. Beni. He was 16 years old. He liked to play baseball, he liked to play the computer, and he typed really well. Let’s just say he’s talented like Dario and I. When we got there we had to put the bikes in the backyard and come through the front door and go up stairs. When we came in his room he wanted to go play baseball, we were too tired, we wanted to rest and have a drink. I wanted to play the computer and I did, I played a World War 2 game called Medal of Honor Allied Assault. It was cool. Instead of playing missions, I played multiplayer, online. I picked my name as Doddlebob Sponge dude, I like to have funny names, and when they kill me it says, “You killed Doddlebob Sponge dude” it’s funny. Some people put “your mom” so it would say, “You kill your mom” and some people don’t like to be funny and just put random names like Bob, or Reality. After that match I quit the game and went to see what Beni and Dario were doing. They were watching a show called Deadliest Catch. It wasn’t so great. Dario and I weren’t tired anymore and wanted to go outside. We took a firecracker, a tennis ball, an egg, a lighter, a glove, and a bat and we went down to the schoolyard to play baseball. I wanted to bat first, so I did. I wanted Dario on my team because he’s a good hitter. So if I wanted him on my team, Beni would have to bat first. But I didn’t care. I was one of he best pitcher’s in the whole league and at the schoolyard. Then I heard a small whisper, “Ervin…? Wake up… Ervin! Get up!!!!!! “ I just realized that I had been daydreaming my life and I was daydreaming in my daydream. Larry and Bob woke me up I was missing read aloud. They said I missed science. But I didn’t care; at least I had some sleep. So I waited ever day until 2:00. I would always stare at the clock, just waiting. Finally, it was 2:00, and I went racing out of the school. I wanted to go home really badly so I can play video games. All the things that happen in my daydream, happen in real life, but the chicken island thing, and the cat thing, I don’t think so. I wanted that to happen but it didn’t. I called Matt over, like in the daydream, and he came. We went to Fallen Field to play baseball. Then we met my friend, Ed. We played off the wall, and we went home. Everything happened. I should have daydreamed that my dad won the lottery. I would get 1/4 of the money and have $50 million dollars because the winning cash was $200 million dollars. But I wasn’t too lucky to get that daydream. But I had my fun. Matt and I went back to my house and played video games, exactly like my daydream, and I met Dario, my cousin, on the game we played. We played a couple of matches and then on the finally match. I blew my cousins head off. Just like in my daydream. I’m not really excited of my day because I already know what would happen. Matt had to go, Dario came, and slept over. It wouldn’t be cool if I daydreamed my whole life, I would know who I would marry. I had an idea, I wanted to sleep, but in my daydream, I didn’t sleep, so I wanted to see if I feel asleep. And I did. I went to sleep at 5:13, and I woke up at 7:41. I didn’t think I was psychic. At first I did think I was one, but I wasn’t, I was really confused. Something was really wrong with me. I wanted to go back in time to stop myself from falling asleep in class so I don’t have to go through this again. So I had some help from scientists I know. They are trying to build a time machine. They needed someone to hand the tools to them so I helped them out. It took them 2 years to get started, and they are 2/3 finished. With my help, I made it faster for them. It took us 9 months to finish it. From, 1999, to 2007. That’s about 8 years. Finally, we finished it. We tried it out. We put an apple in the time machine, and it went 10 minutes into time. It worked!!!!! We were the first people to invent a time machine that really works. It was a chance of 1 of a billion that it would work. I was so surprised. We waited exactly 10 minutes, and the apple appeared in the time machine. I put on a suit that protected me. I told the scientists to go 1 day back in time. So they did. My last world was be seeing you in a day. I told them to be at the time machine 10 minutes before I come. Then I heard a poof. I was in the lab with no one there. It was 8:32 at night. I had to get home. I went to sleep right when I got back so I won’t be tired at school. I heard a ring. It was my alarm clock. It was 6:00 in the morning. I got ready for school and worried that I won’t fall asleep during class. When I got to school. Larry was there already. I told him to look at me every 5 minutes to make sure I’m not asleep. It was 8:57 in the morning. We were having math next. I feel asleep during math. So I told Larry to watch me at 9:18 because that’s when I fell asleep. My head was down on the desk at 9:18, but I wasn’t sleeping. I was tired. I asked Ms.Wispsumfa if I can go take a drink so I can talk a walk to wake myself up. Once I got up from my sit, I was wide-awake. I made it from 9:00 to 9:45. I didn’t fall asleep. If I did, that would have been really bad. Bob and Larry helped me too. Bob sat behind me and poked me with his eraser. That woke me up, and Larry told Bob to poke me. Finally. It was reading. I didn’t fall asleep during reading so I didn’t need to worry. But Larry and Bob looked at me every 5 minutes. I was sleepy during reading, but I didn’t fall asleep. Ms.Wispsumfa read a book to us for 45 minutes. We had writing next. I wasn’t sleepy at all during writing. But when we got into the computer lab, I was sleepy. Larry and Bob looked at me every 5 minutes just like I told them. Finally, it was over. I wasn’t that tired. I don’t get one thing. I went to sleep at 8:42, and I was as sleepy as a bird in Massachusetts in the winter. The next thing that was up was recess. I bet once I get out, I wouldn’t be so sleepy. When I got out, I was wide-awake. I was playing Wall-ball with 11 other people. When I got hit I was more awake than ever today. I wanted this day to end so I can go back where I came from. I heard the whistle blow and I went inside for lunch. We were having P.E. next. I had another plan, instead of staying the whole day at school, I can lie that I’m sick and my dad can drive me home. Then I would go to the time machine and go back from where I came from. I set the time machine 2 days in time. Then I heard a poof, I was back at the lab. The scientists came and asked all these questions. Like, “ did it work?” or “ did you find yourself?” I told them I had to see if I changed. I went home and went to sleep, when I woke up, everything was normal. I wasn’t a daydreaming psychic. I was really surprised that it worked. I went to Larry’s house to thank him. I ask him if he remembered me telling him to look at me every 5 minutes and make sure I’m not asleep. And he did remember. I didn’t think that the idea I had would work. I wanted to go back in time to switch my report card. But I didn't want to. I was too lazy. So whenever I need to fix a problem, I go back in time to fix it. I thanked the scientists for everything they did. I would always, fix my problems with the time machine. If I get bad grades, I would fix that, if I fail a test I fix that, everything that can go wrong. So I went on and on, daydreaming, and if something happens, time machine…

The End
