A Nightmare (Sequel to Just a Dream)

Chapter Twelve (A Dabing Problem)

It was just another night at the Middleton's house. The Turtleneck Sweather Bunch had been gone back because important reasons, and what was left was Jemma, Dan, Joyce, y/n, and Vi, along with the pugs. As Vi slowly drifted off to sleep, she could feel that something was not right at all. Feeling tired, she got up, and went to grab her own white hoodie , and pens. She scribbled something on the shirt, and wore it. Since she and Joyce were able to get to Vi's dream a long time ago, she decided to test it out on different objects. So she grabbed duct tape and some other stuff she might need and placing them inside her pockets that came with her hoodie and dozed off.

"Uhh Vi? Why did you grab those things?" SSundee asked when Vi woke up.

She notice that her stuff was there, lying on the green grass in front of her. "Success," she mumbled.

"What was that?" Crainer, standing next to her, was wonder what she said.

She looked at Crainer and SSundee, who were looking at her, confused with that junk in front of them. "Uhh, nothing really!" Vi answered, feeling half-embarassed. Weird. Those things should have stayed inside those pockets. Why are they here, lying on the grass?

"And what's with that drawing that is on your hoodie?" Thea, comming back to the group along with Dan and Madelyn asked.

Suddenly, Vi could have saw the expression of Dan's face, but when she blinked twice he stayed calm, being normal. "I think that someone is up to something," Dan said before Vi spoke.

"And that was?"

"A dabbing problem."

"What's a dabbing problem?"

"Thea, enough with those questions!" Crainer scolded. "Shouldn't you know that dabbing is just plain cringe already?"

"Crainer, you did that before as well," Ssundee reminded him. "Even after the death of the dab."

"Well, the Crazy Family forgave me!" Crainer defended.

Suddenly, something in the distance was a bush that had two red dots peaking out of it. Vi cautiously grabbed the stuff that was still on the grass and silently and stealthy behind SSundee to create something. She connected the two wires together, along with a container (from her imagination-I didnt forget about that) that contained a redstone torch that was already being lit up and connected to a plugger that led to a box with a flip switch. As she was finalizing her "weapon", Twinkle, May, Joyce, and y/n came up to them.

"Hey, what are you-" Joyce asked before May covered her mouth.

"Be quiet! There is a bush with red eyes who could hear you a mile away!" May retorted.

"You could start by guarding me," Vi suggested. "That way, no one would distract me from doing this."

They did as they were told while Vi continued on finishing her "weapon". But as she stood up and looked behind her back, the bush was gone. Now it was a pale man who looked like Dan. Again. Wow, they didn't have anything else to replace a robot?

She stood up and ran towards the robot. "Who are you and what is your lame excuse to become like our friend?!" she shot at the robot.

But the robot stood still, not saying anything at all. For a while they stood still, waiting for the other to make a move, anything to start a fight. But they stood there, waiting for the right moment to come. Suddenly, the robot was defeated, speaking first. "Hi, am Dan," the robot spoke.

"Man, this one is way worse than what Jaiden did," Twinkle whispered loudly, making Vi remember the time the imposter's first impression was a mess. "HALLOW, I aM TwINlk, YO berry Buest Fried!" it said. She shuddered at that thought, but was able to shake it away. Not right now.

Suddenly, the robot extended its arms, waiting for a hug to happen. Then it came at a flashing moment. "Sike! I don't need hugs!" The robot exclamed and bent his right arm, positioning his hand to the left, where his left arm was straightly angled to the left.

Dan seemed to notice it first. "I sense a dab comming up in front of my eyes!" Dan shot up. "My weakness!"

He was about to dab when Vi didn't have a choice. Now, before things get worse and that whoever is reading this and hates dabbing might hate the author! She flipped the switch and instantly, sparks flew out, electrifying the robot. It was a bit of a terrifying experience, so she had to close her eyes and watch that happen. Either way, this had to be done with robots dabbing.

It only took thirty seconds before she flipped the switched again, immediately stopping the taser itself. She opened both of her eyes and saw a robot with what is just burnt on some sides that the sparks touched. What seemed to be like Dan was now an ordinary robot with one side painted to be like him and the other side as only a robot with black spots covering his eye, leg, arm, and parts of his torso. The robot lay, being malfunctioned by the taser, not saying anything.

Then Vi looked behind her, seeing their jaws dropping down as if they were in shock (no pun intended). She then laughed as hard as she can, because it was a bit funny to see their expressions being like that. "At least you don't have to see the dab," she joked.

Still nothing. Suddenly, her laughing stopped and then silence again. When she thought it was too long for their jaws to be dropped she went to them. Okay what is going on with them? Aren't they happy that a dab has been averted? Or maybe it was because of that taser? Oh no, I shouldn't turn it on for thirty seconds!

To test if they are still awake, she pinched them, one-by-one. Then cries of saying "ouch! That hurt!" were comming. Whew, i'm not going insane... and not DarkODan tricking me again.

"I get that you are trying to avert a dab, but why do that for thirty seconds?" Dan said.

"Oh... Yea I felt like it." Vi answered.

"So that was why those things in the grass were here all along," SSundee said.

"Yep. And I totally did not steal those from Dan," Vi explained when she noticed that Dan was giving her that look of disappointment.

"You could have asked, you know," Dan scolded.

"I could have, but your... you know."

"Oh, right. I was traumatized."

"Let's go, before they see us." May warned.

"Wait... isn't it already the morning now?" SSundee asked.

"Oh, right," Joyce said while yawning. "It's almost time for us to wake up."

Vi used her teleportation powers to get them to a safe place (her happy place since DarkODan and his companions can't get there) and rested.

Meanwhile...

"Ugh, Denton! You failed me again!" DarkODan retorted after the robot's death.

"I'm sorry, I only work on video games and brainwashing people!" Denton shouted.

"That's it, you can't-"

"Wait!" EvilTDM called out, interrupting DarkODan's words. "Maybe we have another way."

"What way? Everything failed!" DarkODan argued.

"Using games and brainwashing people?" EvilTDM suggested.

After a while of thought put into place, Denton and DarkODan hesitated and agreed.

"Let's get started with this, shall we?" DarkODan asked, and the three went straight to work...
