Upon a Dream

Upon a Dream is the fifth chapter in the Wombles Six.

Ding Dong! “What was that noise?”  “The door you fool!”  “What door? We’re in the middle of nowhere in Wales!”  B A was now scared as well as Murdock. He hit himself and said, “You fool! Don’t be a scaredy-cat like Murdock!”

Murdock stared at him for a moment. It was only for a moment because he suddenly realised that Hannibal and Face had disappeared. “Where did they go?”

“What?” said B A, then suddenly realised as well. He hit himself again. “You fool! Don’t let Murdock notice things before you!”

Murdock shrugged and walked away but B A didn’t notice because he was too busy telling himself off.

Face woke up standing on a pile of toy cars. They suddenly started driving around! Face stamped on the bright blue and orange one. “Trentmans!” gasped the one that looked a bit like a hammerhead shark, zooming over. Face stamped on them too. Then he disappeared.

He re-appeared in a cartoon place. A very weird looking weevil came up to him and said, “What on earth are you?”  “Well what on earth ate you?” replied Face. “Traffic1!” replied the weevil. Another one came and said, “Lily7775!” More and more came. “WeevilFred!”  “Queenelsa!” “Marmabin!”  “Lollys!”  “Festivebaby123!”  “Humanweevil1!”  “X-Lightening-X!”  “Rainbow!” “Zooming!”  “Mohini!”  “-TheFlames-!”  “Maydaylols!” “Zoomer9070!”

Face blinked. He turned to the first one who had appeared. “Traffic1 ate you?” he said. “No! I am Traffic1! I thought you said what are you!”  “Oh” said Face and disappeared.

He re-appeared back in Wales but now in a different part. There was a house with a sign that said, “Number 6: Private”. Face knocked on the door of it. There was no answer at first but when he tried again he heard Murdock’s voice saying, “Help!”

Inside Murdock was trying to find the exit. Some automatic doors suddenly opened to reveal someone who appeared to be Number Six pointing a gun at him. They made him go in a room with a railway track.

There was a Flat Truck on the railway track and Murdock got on it. It started moving along.

A woman who was on the Flat Truck with him started telling him what swords around the railway track did. When she got to the last one she said, “That one chops your head off. You should try it.”

For some reason Murdock actually did try it. He lifted up the sword and lunged at the woman on the Flat Truck with him. Somehow she wasn’t harmed.

Some more automatic doors opened and Murdock ran out of them to see B A. “We need to go to the lift!” said B A. Murdock refused. B A tried pointing a gun at him. He still refused. B A sang part of the avengers tune. Murdock smiled and danced into the lift, B A following.

They got to the bottom then went out and it appeared they were outside. A voice that came from nowhere suddenly started going on about what a good actor Patrick Magoohan was.

Steed & Cathy were currently hoping they were actually awake. A random person walked up to them & said, “The Sugababes split up in 2011, not 2009!” “Who are the sugar babes, and what are you talking about?” asked Steed, rather confused. Then he just went off to some woodlands with Cathy.

The random person followed them. They said they had a buyer for the house & went on about it. Steed & Cathy ran away to another place. It was called Dinner Sanctuary. There was a vending machine there. It was mostly a normal vending machine. But you could also put your own stuff in. Steed & Cathy put in some brandy, champagne, brandy balls, jellied bumblebees & more. When Steed had gone to sit at a table, Cathy noticed something in the vending machine that caught her eye. It had a yellowish, whiteish wrapper with red, gold-surrounded lower case letters that spelt out ‘mrs mars’. It was a white chocolate Mars bar.

Cathy went to Steed & asked if she could have a Mrs Mars bar. Steed gave a small grey coin that looked like toy money. Cathy used it to buy her Mrs Mars bar.

Steed & Cathy woke up AGAIN. But this time they weren’t where they were. They were in a biscuit factory. They were tied up. The workers were making biscuits with what they called jam, but it was really stolen blood. They intended to take some from Steed & Cathy. And this time it really wasn’t a dream.
