I quickly walked home and swung open the door. Ben was on the couch and watching TV again.
"WHERE'S MOM?!" I yelled.
"In her room," Ben replied in a monotone. "Stop screaming."
I slammed the front door shut and ran to my mom's room. She was folding clothes while classical music played on her radio.
"MOM! I NEED A DRESS!"
She seemed unfazed by my arrival. "Why do you need one?"
I sighed loudly, annoyed that she wasn't connecting the dots. "We have a school dance tomorrow night and I'm going with a guy--Don't worry, it's not Leon."
My mom put down the shirt she was folding. "I suppose you could borrow one of mine." She walked to her closet and pulled out a long green dress.

My mouth fell open. "It's...AWESOME!" I grabbed it and ran to my room. I hung it up in my closet with a sigh.
I guess I could bring the knife in a purse.
I smiled as I imagined what Gundham will think of me wearing a beautiful dress.
He really won't care.
I flopped on my bed and sighed.
So...tired...
Too tired to resist, I slowly drifted off into what I thought would be a quick nap. But my brain, of course, had other ideas.
I was in a building that had metal slabs on it's windows. Instead of blurry figures, the people in the dream were clearly recognizable. Mondo was helping Fujisaki carry a stack of metal plates. Ogami was screwing large bolts into the walls with her bare hands Asahina helping her. Celestia was the only one not working as she calmly sipped a cup of tea.
But what are they all doing exactly?
My attention was suddenly turned to the outside world through the remaining windows. The sky was blood red. But worst of all, there were explosions and buildings crumbling among the city I was looking out at.
Are they making a shelter for this apocalypse?
The world went black for a second, then I found myself on a city street. The same horrific city. Random citizen were running in all directions like ants about to be squashed by a shoe. I ran the other direction like a fish swimming upstream. When the crowd was long gone, I came upon an unbelievable sight.
Peko was fighting an old man sword on sword and Fuyuhiko watched with an army of...bear gagsters behind him. Ibuki was setting homes on fire as her guitar had now turned into a flamethrower. Gundham was leading a pack of various dangerous animals towards the fleeing citizens. Akane and Nekomaru were fighting two tough looking men. Sonia was dressed in an elegant white gown, leading a crowd of bear-like monsters in suits. Kazuichi held some sort of remote and was controlling a robot taller than the buildings, crushing anything in its path.
I have to stop this!
I ran towards Kazuichi, coughing profusely and waving the smoke away from my face.
"Kazuichi, what the fuck are you doing?!"
Instead of trying to take his remote away, I ran right through him like I was a ghost.
"H-Huh...?"
I looked at Kazuichi's face. His eyes were red.
A monotone male voice echoed in my head.
"This dull world needs despair."
I looked up at a building. On the roof was a boy wearing a suit and long brown hair staring directly at me.
What's going on...?
The world faded to black once more.
...
"Kate! Wake up! You're going to be late to school!"
