JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 10: Mitternachts Walzer

Killing Me Softly

*The atmosphere is silent throughout the dorms. In each of the rooms, the students sleep comfortably. Ericka, is shown sleeping in her bed while tears flow down her face. Southern Bell is shown sleeping in her bed smiling and snuggling with Sweet Home Alabama. A man walks down the hallway while yawning and scratching his head.*

Ziggy: I loathe that man so damn much. Creepy bastard with those deep bags from clear lack of sleep and that ghastly voice that makes my stomach turn everytime he talks. His dreams are even worse and reflect his demented way of thinking.

*He stops and opens a window to perch inside of. A sheep walks into Joanne and Teresa's room while bleating. It hops onto Joanne's bed and snuggles in next to her.*

Ziggy: Rest easy, Joanne Joestar. At least you'll never have to wake up to this painful existence again.

*He yawns*

*In Atlanta at the Joestar Residence.*

Joey: Mom, Joanne's hogging up the TV.

Joan: Oh let her be. She just came home and wants to watch a little TV. I know, why don't we go and get something to eat?

Joey: Can we?

Joan: Sure. Go put on your shoes.

*Joanne is shown to be sitting on the couch. She suddenly jolts and looks around in confusion.*

Joanne: Am I...home?

*The TV's volume becomes audible catching her attention. On the TV, a giant three headed dragon shoots lightning out of it's mouths destroying a city.*

Joanne: How in the world did I get here? I was just at the dorms...

Joan: Ah, you're finally awake, sugar plum?

Joanne: Mom? Did you-

Joan: What? You don't remember coming home earlier this morning?

Joanne: I came home this morning? I couldn't have....I remember what happened this morning. I was...Ericka and Teresa...

Joan: Maybe you need to go back to sleep for a little while. If I recall correctly, you were quite distraught when you came home as if something was bothering you. I guess that's the stress of college life. Oh I remember when I was a college girl. You know, that's how I met your father...ah, your father.

*She shivers and holds her face while blushing uncontrollably.*

Joanne: Mom, you're doing that thing again.

Joan: Aw, I'm sorry, sweetie! Listen, tell Joey to wait for me down here. I'm going to freshen up.

Joanne: Freshen up after talking about dad? I think you really mean you're going to-

Joan: Go freshen up just as I said.

*She smiles before going upstairs. Joey comes into the room and looks around.*

Joey: Where's mom?

Joanne: She went to go "freshen up". Just wait for her down here.

Joey: Hey...Joanne, what's college like?

Joanne: It's...

*She stares off into space thinking about all that's happened to her. Travis' death, drinking the contents of the vial and her first day.*

Joanne: It's full of stress and worry at every turn...

Joey: Geez, remind me never to go to college.

Joanne: Hey...what's that on your butt?
