The Wave of Lies
Slayers
Band-induced, once again. This is quite possibly the most serious dream I've ever had. It also flowed in a somewhat logical manner, leading me to turn it into a play for school (it was never acted out, thankfully).

The band competition was over, and we were just finishing loading the busses for the long, boring trip back home. I wished that I had something to do during the ride.

Dad to the rescue! My dad came running up to the bus, bearing the first tape of Slayers Next (at this point, that series had yet to be released in the States). Elated, I popped the video in the VCR and prepared to watch it on the big-screen TV in the front of the bus.

It was at that point that I decided that it was a dream. Come on, Slayers Next on video? A big-screen TV on the bus? Yeah, right. So, before it got any more messed-up, I decided to wake myself up.

Hm, guess I need a little practice in how to wake myself up. Instead of waking up, I was IN the video, playing the part of Lina Inverse (again!). There were people running around in a panic all over the place, while a big blue blob was oozing around, engulfing everything.

Xellos and some other guy rode up to me on horseback. Xellos said that the blob was called "The Wave of Lies" and killed everything it touched. And, naturally, we had to stop it.

However, the other guy was a little too eager to get in a fight with the thing, and ran at the blob, waving his sword and yelling at the top of his lungs. People like that don't tend to live too long, and he was nicely vaporized a few seconds later.

However, I guess that guy was Xellos's best friend, and he was extremely upset to see him die like that. I asked Xellos how to beat the blob, and he told me that we needed to get to its core and freeze it. Easier said than done, I must say.

We set out together to find "the core" which was located inside a crevice in the earth from which the blob came. Once wew reached the bottom, we found a big factory, which we took to be "the core".

Getting inside was easy enough. The person running the place was just some guy in a suit, so we had no trouble getting around him. I made it to the core, and was all set to cast a Freeze Arrow on it, when it hit me that I hadn't the foggiest idea how to use magic. I was just PLAYING Lina. I wasn't really Lina!

This posed quite a bit of a problem, since Xellos had suddenly vanished, and a bunch of guards with mean-looking weapons had surrounded me. I gave the magic a try and yelled "Freeze Arrow!" but nothing happened, as I expected.

After your typical chase scene, the guards had me cornered, and were about to blow my brains out. Scared out of my wits, I yelled "FREEZE ARROW!" at the top of my lungs.

And this time it worked.

The world was safe once again. Go me.
