Night Terrors (Mr. Men & Little Misses Fanfic)

Screams in the Night

After lunch, Mr Happy & another little miss, who introduced herself as Miss Calamity, showed Miss Nightmare the houses they had to offer. She chose one that had a slanted, chocolate colored roof, white paint, & a red door next to a long window. "Alright, Miss Nightmare. We'll have it ready for you soon" said Miss Calamity, being grateful enough to help. Miss Nightmare nodded, then went to watch on Mr Tickle's porch. A sick feeling went toward her stomach as she  watched. & it wasn't the takeout, it was anticipation. Anticipating something bad to happen. On the lookout for causes of disasters, when she saw two figures walking down the sidewalk on the same side at the same speed, one figure being Miss Scary, the other looking like Mr Happy, but smaller,  having a slightly darker skin tone, & wearing a hat. Miss Scary took out a mask, a different one from when they first met, & scared the other figure into running the other direction & accidentally hitting a lamp post & bouncing off of it & bouncing further... right into Miss Calamity, who was doing some outside work, & she accidentally driving her electric mower into the wall, also destroying a lot of other things. Miss Nightmare face palmed so hard because she couldn't understand why people were the way they are. Miss Calamity popped up from under the debris. "What a calamity." Miss Calamity fainted right on the spot. Then it hit Miss Nightmare: If they keep destroying the house, there's a slim chance she'll ever leave Mr Tickle's place. At that, she started tearing up, but wiped the tears away & tried to keep calm because she thought if she did cry, she'd make a fool of herself.

Speaking of Mr Tickle, she was startled by his fingers wiggling down her back, & literally jumped out of her seat at the touch, & turned around to see Mr Tickle. Per the norm. Except he looked a little concerned under the smile. "Is something wrong?" She looked back at the mess of a house it was. "A disaster with what was supposed to be my new home." Some dust blowing in the breeze from the accident got in her face & caused her eyes to tear up even more & she also started sneezing. Mr Tickle took her inside to prevent any more dust from getting in her face. "How about we call it a day? It's a good thing you're not totally homeless." She sighed & looked out the window. All she needed was some warmth to herself. But at the same time, she didn't want to be left alone. She just decided to stick with what she has at the moment. What she's glad she has instead of a loss of a home.

~~~TIMESKIP TO AFTER DINNER CUZ IM A LAZY WORP~~~

Mr Tickle cooked spaghetti for dinner, which Miss Nightmare never knew he could cook at all. She brushed her hair & teeth, washed her face, &  went to bed early in hopes of a good night's sleep, tucking herself into her sleeping bag. But nooooo, a nightmare popped up in her head a couple hours after Mr Tickle went to bed. She saw herself in a jungle, which wasn't unusual since the scariest creatures live there. But she didn't see any animals yet, so she looked around. Just a lot of vegetation... until she saw a flower with a face? The eyes & mouth were closed, but she was sure it wasn't natural. She started to approach it, then it started moving. It turned towards her with a curious look in its eyes, which didn't last & turned into a look of anger with dialated cat pupils & fangs exaggerated from the mouth. Other vines then start to move & grab hold of her, lifting her up in between the top of the understory & the forest floor. They slithered all over her in a snake-like motion, & were holding her limbs apart for whatever reason. She was terrified, & started crying. She cried out for help... But hardly anything came out of her lips. A light gurgling sound could be heard before white pellets surrounded her in a ring, then slowly approaching her as laughing could be heard. A heartfelt scream escaped her lips. Then someone was shaking her.

"Wake up!" She heard those words ring in her head for a bit before she finally woke up. She looked up to see Mr Tickle sitting above her with a worried expression on his face. She tried to avert any sort of eye contact by turning away from him, but was obviously still upset, & was a bit figety as well. She landed in a trap & was falling nether, not knowing where she was or what she did to deserve this. Needing something to cling to, she tried squeezing her pillow since she left her stuffed white rabbit with her luggage. Noticing how upset she was, Mr Tickle stretched out his arms & wrapped them around her in a hug from behind. She was startled by this, but soon turned around & hugged back. She just wanted to go home. Soon she fell asleep again, & Mr Tickle thought that if she had another nightmare while he was asleep in his room, he wouldn't be able to help her as soon as possible. He let her go & decided to sleep on the armchair nearby, just in case. Fortunately, she was dreamless the rest of the night. Which isn't as good as it seems.
