Random Dreams

"Blah another stupid dream" I thought glumly, cutting through the stratosphere on a firebolt at five hundred miles an hour. The initial feeling of exhilaration had worn off. So had the sensation of tipping over sideways but then i had always suspected that my right buttock was heavier than my left. And to all those kids who wanna zoom across the country on a broomstick, i must tell you, it's mighty uncomfortable.
Anyway, there i was thousands of feet above the ground, when a tongue of flame almost burnt that said body-part. I looked back to see my mum breathing fire and hurtling after me with a glass of milk clamped in her dragon-claws. "Typical", I sighed and flew faster, when there was a flash of colours and suddenly i was suspended near the ceiling of what seemed like a classroom. And without a broomstick. Which goes to say that i fell through the air at alarming speed landing on one of the chairs, making the teacher nearly jump out of his skin. "Blast" muttered AVK nervously, looking at the chalky blot and resumed scrawling on the board one hundred times -'i will not forget to slap myself before i go to bed for being an insufferable git'.. whoosh-phewwwp-whop.. that whirl of colours again and i was back on the firebolt, well not exactly on it, cuz this time i was perched on a boy's shoulder ruffling my snow-white owl feathers and thinking grumpily "this is going too damn far. Now I've actually hurtled down a few species" when suddenly a goose flew past, presumably flying south for the winter. Another one, close behind, flew alarmingly close to me and whispered urgently in my ears(?) "Wake up you ass. That mug full of water's not gonna feel pretty" and i woke up with a jerk just in time to see my mother poised with a bottle, about to tip a few drops on to my face.
She looked fairly irritated and a tad relieved. I was dragging my feet to the washroom when she called out to me "Your father's taken the firebolt dear and do try to talk your sister out of humping the goat..we really need the milk". I whipped around. "Firebolt??!!"....pardon me i've always been a bit slow..."bleeurrghh..since when do i have a sister?????!!!!!!" - and was about to sink on to the floor in a dead faint when my pet phoenix flew to my shoulder and calmly said "Wake up you perfect ass. That mug full of water's not gonna feel pretty".....

aaarrrrghhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sprung up letting out a terrified shriek, almost upsetting my mother who was about to empty half a bottle on my head in an effort to wake me up from a dead sleep. She was beside me in a second, alarmed and concerned, assuring me that it had all been a bad dream.

It took a while to calm me down. When i was suitably reassured my mum got up to get me a glass of milk. At the door I called out to her "Mum er..I don't er..have a sister right..?" She turned around and gave me a beatific smile...
