The Dream
I was Kim Possible. And we were at a retreat type of place. It seemed like a cross between a resort for people and for animals. But anyway, I was in the house with my 'mom figure' an older man, and a couple other figures. And things were looking suspicious...
I had this moment where it was like an outline form: First I would do this, then Kim would find out this, yadda yadda.
And then I did it.
I snuck outside and was hanging out on the roof, beneath a window where the adults were talking.
And they were talking about me.
How they needed me to do something.
Whatever it was, it didn't sound good. My mom was against it.
But the older gentleman insisted.
And then they realized...I'd heard everything, and the man came after me.
I ran for it. getting off the roof and dashing into the forest.
Because I had to escape from this compound place.
I ran along a bank that seemed man made and looked down and saw a man in a row boat.
That was full of a green grey silver hair type material. It reminded me of truffula trees from the Lorax. but the man was pulling the 'hair' out of seaweed that grew in this pond.
I asked for him to help me.
And jumped into the boat to hide among the seaweed hair thing.
But...he took me to the man!
And suddenly everything was explained and became clear.
They wanted me to be on a game show where I could win a bunch of money.
Oh....I'd run around for basically no reason.
Then we were in the attic...and Stark was there...being re suited. Because he'd turned evil. We had this battle....and now we were fixing him so he could be good, but we were limited in technology.
His ironman suit was still basically intact, though silver/black in color. But the technistuff. the visual stuff you can see on your retina display...were limited to an old tv screen and computer that were in a cabinet. I'm not sure how he was going to get anywhere like that.
He also had two rings that we fused together. One to help him control his suit, the other one, was evil, but we made it good by fusing it with the other ring so that it wouldn't fall off.
I had a view of him flexing the hand with the ring its blue and red stones glowing
before the unholy tones of daylight pulled me away...
and I became myself again. :)
