Simon, Friends and the Unlikely Dream Helpers: Book Three

By R. E. Brémaud

Turning fifteen now, Simon Dreamlee has been allowed to produce his musical production about forbidden teen aged love. Characters resemble Diana Magicdream, the Outsider from Newville with ties to Dreamville and himself, but, they don’t know that. Simon secretly keeps in contact with Diana and their communiqués could have him and his descendants banished from Dreamville forever.

Simon quickly learns that his play is not being well received by a small majority of Dreamvillians who do not look like themselves. Simon and his friends are falling ill, still able to dream, but, just miserable when awake. They boycott Simon’s production unsuccessfully, however, this scares Simon into not wanting to share anymore dreams. When King Régimand DreamRoyal is waiting in the hover parkade for Simon and his parents, Simon knows that nothing is right in Dreamville. The dreamy King shows them the secret passages to and from the hover parkade to Dreamtrue School where Simon’s production goes on for Dreamvillians who are still supportive.

Simon’s quickly asked to turn himself into the dream police and he learns that the current Dream Squad chief, Louisa DreamNot is the evil Miss DreamNot’s daughter.This knowledge ignites Simon’s ability to dream about the truth, although, this time the clues are more sparse and incoherent.

Prologue

Forbidden Forest Wall

4:00 P.M

Miss DreamNot and the ex dream squad chief walk together through the forest wall unable to enter into Dreamville without being detected until this moment when Miss DreamNot stumbles upon the invisibility device that Rino dropped when Simon and he were being stalked by the ferocious forbidden forest wolves. Miss DreamNot picks up the device and instinctively knows how to use the device. She looks at the ex dream squad chief and cackles. Aha… Ha. Ha. Ha. The ex dream squad chief’s smile disappears as he realizes she’s now got the perfect device to wreak havoc on Dreamvillians again and drag him along as her scapegoat and evil sidekick. His love for her is too strong to let him turn away from her even when she’s plotting and scheming against Simon Dreamlee and his friends. Ultimately the ex dream squad chief knows her most cherished goal is to be queen and rule Dreamville despite not being the legitimate heir to the throne.

Miss DreamNot holds the device in the air towards the sky as if to thank dreams that she, of course, does not believe in, because, she’s dreamless despite being a Dreamvillian. The ex dream squad chief gazes on in terror and filled with fright, but he puts up a brave and supportive front to avoid her screams and threats that he, lately, had not had to endure, but from this moment on, he knows he’s going to start enduring them all over again. The ex dream squad chief whispers lowly to himself, Simon, beware and dreams help us now or forever be destroyed. Like a witch gone mad with pure evilness, Miss DreamNot cackles and cackles as she dances in a circle worshipping the device that will allow her access to Dreamville and allow her to be undetected. Aha… Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.

Meanwhile, in Dreamville everything is back to those normal wholesome Dreamvillian standards and the Dreamvillians sleep patterns have been restored as well, with the return of the Gargoyles. Now when a Dreamvillian falls to sleep as soon as their head touches their pillows, they cannot wake up until the first light of the next day’s rising sun and they dream on. Only those who work over night and who do not lay their heads down on their pillows or anywhere will be able to stay up for the Dreamvillian nights. They all dreamily and snuggly sleep and dream while awaiting the much anticipated and controversial Simon Dreamlee musical production.

In Newville, Diana MagicDream struggles with her nightmares that end rather strangely with her somehow, someway becoming a witch. She wakes up scared and confused as she tries to understand her nightmare and why she becomes a witch. Diana says to herself, I’m suddenly not good? Why am I always a witch in my dreams? She looks at the calendar and sees the date October 31st circled and she continues to say, Oh okay I guess that’s why. I’ll be a witch for Halloween. Enough nightmares already…I’ll be a good witch!" She looks around her room feeling like there’s an unwanted presence and satisfied nothing’s in her room she lays her head on her pillow and falls back to sleep.

Chapter One – The Buzz Around

Forbidden Love’s Premiere

A year and four weeks, in Dreamville, the dream media clown streams on every Dreamvillian’s virtual communicators. The media Cooperative Loyal Original Winning News (Special) streams on virtualvisions and on hand held computer sized computers, as well as, the hover media boards located right next to the hover advertising boards advertising Simon’s new dream come true. The media clown says, On this dreamy Dreamvillian Wednesday morning with not a cloud in the sky, with flowers dreamy perfumes filling our nostrils and the calming rays of sunshine beaming down on us, Simon Dreamlee has dreamt up a brand new love story, this time, it involves forbidden teen aged puppy love between a Dreamvillian teen aged boy and an Outsider teen aged girl. Oh my dreams how tragically puppy love romantic isn’t it? This love story of forbidden love will be performed at the Dreamtrue School theatre this evening after a year’s worth of rehearsals, of course, all Dreamvillians will be attending. Congratulations to Simon Dreamlee and his cast of actors, dancers, musicians, singers and behind the scenes Dreamvillians. Such talent should be celebrated dreamily, happy Wednesday my fellow Dreamvillians.

On this Wednesday, this latest virtualcast streams in the Dreamlee house as they sit as a family having their breakfast. Mr. Dreamlee says, Virtualvision off. The virtualvision hovers away to its stand to charge as it shuts itself off until further voice commanded to reactivate or a new virtualcast wakes it up. Mr. Dreamlee looks at his son and he says, Simon, my fourteen year old boy, I’m so proud of you and this new production. Simon replies, Thanks dad, I’m looking forward to it myself and I’m happy that King DreamRoyal and Queen DreamRoyal are backing me up despite some of the backlash from the elders. Mrs. Dreamlee says, That backlash was not without good reason but they recognize that your play is really harmless and simply for entertainment. Simon’s mom turns to his dad and says, Plus, after all, Simon in a week you’re turning fifteen. Simon looks at his mother who turns back to him, as well, and he replies, I’m not sure what my age has anything to do with it but that’s right it’s just for entertainment, after all, the whole premise is ridiculous right. Simon laughs nervously. He turns to his father and says, Well I have only a few moments before leaving for school so I’ve got to go. See you later mom, dad, oh and happy Monday. Simon goes out of the backdoor of the kitchen and into his backyard as his proud parents proudly watch their son leave their dreamy family home.

Once Simon’s in the backyard, he takes out his virtual communicator and says, Diana come in. Diana… After a few moments of scratching, and fuzziness, he hears now fourteen year old Diana’s soft voice as she says, Simon, I’m here. Can you hear me? Simon smiles and replies, Yes I can and I can see you too. Diana says, Oh I see you now too. It’s Wednesday, is there anything wrong? Simon says, No, absolutely nothing, I just wanted to talk and see how you’re doing. Diana says, Well since yesterday I haven’t been up to much but today I’m going to a movie with my brother Justin. Oh and there’s a lot of hype about your last movie that came out in this world. There’s speculation about awards and stuff… Oh… Guess what? I get your world’s dream media clowns virtualcasts here too with this device you gave me so I know all about your new project. I can’t wait to see it myself. Simon smiles and says, Well it has to be performed here first before being released in your world. I’ll let you know how it goes. The performance is today, tonight, in fact. Diana says, Oh Simon, I hear my brother coming to get me to drive me to school, I wish we didn’t have to keep us such a secret, I have to go. One more thing, my B-day’s coming up! Bye! Simon sensing the urgency in Diana’s voice hastily says, Bye Diana. I’ll talk to you soon. Diana blows him a kiss and her virtual image disappears as she shuts off her end of the communication. Diana quickly says, Sign off. With blushing cheeks, Simon says, Sign off. Simon steps on his hover board, puts his virtual communicator in his pocket and says, Hover. Hover forward. Hover right. Hover forward. Hover fast. Simon hovers down his street to meet his best friend Almont. Almont’s already waiting at their famed intersection and he yells, Hey Simon, top of the morning to you! Simon replies, Ha ha…I greet you with an Outsiders’ Irish greeting to you too Almont and a very happy Wednesday too. As Simon approaches he says, Slow hover. Hover right. Almont says, Hover left. They slowly hover towards Dreamtrue School. Almont says, So I guess your play is going to become true after all. Simon says, Yeah, I sure hope so. Almont says, Hope so, it is, tonight, in fact. Simon says, I know but it seems too easy. The elders succumbed almost too quickly. Almont says, Oh so you think that this is all too dreamily good to be true. Simon replies, Precisely. Something’s bound to happen. Almont says, Well, if so, they’ve had a year to complain, protest, make a case or ban your production and they haven’t so I think that you have nothing to worry about Simon. They slowly hover onto the street of their beloved school and they both say, Hover left. They slowly hover into the hover parkade and they say, Cease hover. Their boards hover down onto solar panel grids and they step off of their hover boards. They walk down the sidewalk and into Dreamtrue School.

Once in the hallway, they bump into Rino DreamScifi whom they haven’t associated with since last year. Rino, now sixteen going on seventeen in exactly one day, says, Hi guys! How are you two doing these dreamy days? Almont coolly says, Good, we’re great Rino. Bye. Rino says, Ah yeah, silly question I guess, I mean, Simon your latest production is just hovering everywhere. I can’t wait to see it myself with Dee FictiveDream. While Almont nudges Simon to carry on walking to their musically inclined classroom, Simon looks back at Rino and he hastily says, Ah that’s great, really Rino. I’ll see you around. Rino loudly says, Okay I’ll see you around Simon. Simon asks Almont, Why do you do that to him? I mean he’s trying to be our friend. Almont says, I’m dating his ex-girlfriend so I hardly think we have the potential to be friends but nothing’s stopping you from being his friend, well, maybe our age difference. As they walk into their musically inclined classroom, Jilla waves at Almont and signals to him to sit beside her in the seat she points at. There’s no other seat around for Simon so he goes to the back of the class and finds a seat there. He looks around at who’s sitting beside him and he’s relieved and happy to see all his Dreamator team mates, Brian Dreamery, Hughes Dreamy, Nick Daydream, and Jonas Dreamsound. Simon smiles and Brian smiles back at him while he says, So Simon, how’s your production coming along? Simon says, Great Brian. I’m sorry I couldn’t cast you in it this time. Brian says, That’s not your fault. Besides, I have enough on my plate with Dreamator meetings and putting together the new league. I graduate this year and I think I want to pursue being a team manager of sorts. Of course, being musically inclined, I’ll still be making my genre of music, although, it varies. Simon says, That’s great Brian! As they end their conversation, Queen DreamRoyal enters into the musically inclined classroom and stands in front of her class with her little baby girl. All the girls exclaim, How cute! Jilla says, She’s so pretty Queen DreamRoyal. Queen DreamRoyal smiles and says, Thank you so much my dreamy class. King uh principal DreamRoyal and I named her beautifully. Princess Dilys the genuine one. Everyone hushes and waits in silence while the queen places the princess in her pastel pale pink bassinette located right beside her desk. Queen DreamRoyal looks up at her students in her class and says, Well today is the final dress rehearsal of Simon Dreamlee’s production titled Forbidden Love so we all need to get to work and make this production a success. Everyone claps and cheers as the virtual wall de-materializes revealing the dream theatre. They all get out of their seats and walk down to get into their costumes and roles. Simon walks down to the theatre but before reaching the stage, Queen DreamRoyal stops him by placing her hand on his shoulder, she says, Simon, you’re talented in music, theatre, films, musicals so I want to give you a little bit of advice. Simon turns to face his dreamy queen and says, Okay Queen DreamRoyal I’m always open to advice. What’s your advice for me? Queen DreamRoyal replies, We may live in Dreamville Simon which will always protect you from the critiques of the Outsiders but in Dreamville when Dreamvillians want to stop a production, they’ll resort and revert to boycotting. Simon says, You mean banning. Queen DreamRoyal says, Well, I say boycotting because rumors, swirling, are that a group of Dreamvillians are planning to try and ruin your opening night by boycotting and picketing outside of the theatre and prevent those of us Dreamvillians from entering, seeing and supporting your new innovative production. Simon says, Really, I knew it. I knew this would happen a year ago, I actually knew this would be the reality the instant I dreamt the theme song. Um…Do you think they’d go as far as ostracizing me? Simon stops speaking and looks at Queen DreamRoyal who smiles back at him displaying her full support for his creativity. Simon says, I have this deep feeling that I will be nothing but controversial no matter what I dream to come true. Queen DreamRoyal says, Simon, that’s what’s so interesting about you and also this is the reason you have such great, loyal, supportive and devoted friends and fans. She looks up and Simon looks in the direction she’s looking and he sees Jilla and Almont standing there waiting for him. Simon looks at Queen DreamRoyal and says, Thank you. He walks towards his friends and smiles at them. Jilla says, Is everything alright Simon? Almont interjects, Yeah what was Queen DreamRoyal saying to you with such a serious face? Simon replies, Apparently, the controversy I was concerned about is legitimate and a group is planning to boycott my production tonight. Jilla says, That’s terrible and most un-dreamy news Simon. Almont says, Yeah Simon that’s not dreamy at all. Simon says, I know, seriously total crud. Jilla gasps at Simon’s use of the word crud. Simon says, What? Almont says, You kind of swore like an Outsider. The boys laugh and Jilla says, Boys that’s not funny. Almont says, Sorry, she’s right Simon. Simon says, Sorry. Suddenly, they hear Queen DreamRoyal’s voice address the whole class, she says, Now class tonight will be a historical event, especially here in Dreamville, no matter what happens I want you all to know how gifted, talented and deserving you all are and I want to commend Simon Dreamlee on his innovative musically inclined dreams come true. Everyone claps and cheers. Queen DreamRoyal says, Rehearsal begins right now, please, everyone in place. As everyone prepares for their parts on stage, the theme song begins the forbidden teenaged love story, as well, as it ends it too.

An hour and a half later, Simon announces Okay everyone that was our last dreamy rehearsal before the big dreamy show tonight so I want to wish everyone the most, dreamiest luck ever dreamed for your performances. All the dancers, singers, actors, theatre people clap and cheer as they exit the dreamy Dreamtrue school theatre room. Simon turns to Miss DreamRoyal and says, Well this is it…the time of truly truth. Will this tale become true or never to be seen again? Miss DreamRoyal smiles kindly at Simon and replies, We’ll only know tonight won’t we. She puts her right arm around Simon as they walk towards Princess Dilys as she lays asleep in her bassinette. Simon turns to Miss DreamRoyal and says, I’ve got to go home for supper. See you tonight Miss DreamRoyal. Simon looks down at Princess Dilys who’s now awake and smiling at him. Miss DreamRoyal says, Us too! See you tonight and break a leg! Simon smiles and walks up the steps and out of the theatre room. Simon walks down the hall through Dreamtrue School and out the front doors. He looks around surprised that neither Almont nor Jilla are waiting for him. He walks down the sidewalk to the hover parkade and keeps walking straight to his hover bike. He looks around again to find he’s alone. Simon whispers to himself, That’s odd they’ve never, not waited for me before. He shrugs and voice commands his hover board to hover. Simon says, Hover. Hover up. Hover backwards. Cease hover. Hover right. Hover forward. While he hovers along his usual path back to his home saying all of the hover commands he realizes that there’s no sounds, nothing anywhere. He sees the smiling faces of the Dreamvillians along the way and their mouths moving like they’re talking to him. Simon closes his eyes, shakes his head, sticks his index fingers in his ears and wiggles his index fingers while in his ears to clean them out. He opens his eyes and takes his fingers out of his ears and everything, every sound seemingly blast at him as if everyone were speaking to him through megaphones. Simon screeches, WHOAH! OUCH! He covers his ears with his hands and yells, AH! He’s so confused by what just happened that he forgets to command his hover board to slow down and stop. Simon flies right into a solid white bricked wall of Mrs. LandDream’s house smashing his hover board to pieces and catapulting him into a young tree trunk on the perimeter of her yard. Mrs. LandDream witnessing this event runs to Simon who’s lying on the ground in a daze, not quite unconscious but not quite conscious and she calmly but loudly says, Dear boy are you okay? All the neighbors come to see what had just happened. Simon looks up at her blurry face and watches as it becomes clear to him again. He replies, Am I…I am…I mean….Yeah I think I’m okay. I don’t feel hurt or anything. In the distance everyone can hear the sirens of the Dreamville ambulance coming promptly and quickly to the scene. Simon dizzily sits up as the ambulance hovers up and Simon’s quickly placed on a stretcher. The Dreamville Hospital paramedics carry Simon on the stretcher into the ambulance, close the doors securely and with sirens on full blast race through Dreamville’s streets to the Dreamville hospital.

Once in the Dreamville Hospital, the paramedics pass Simon over to the Dreamville nurses who put him in a room by himself. Simon looks around the room and everything calms down and returns to normal sound levels. He’s still perplexed by what’s happening to him. A Dreamville Doctor enters into the room dressed in her white knee length coat and armed with her stethoscope, she slowly approaches Simon. Simon looks at her name tag and reads her name out loud Dr. DocDream. Dr. DocDream replies, Why yes Simon that’s my name. How are you feeling? Simon shrugs his shoulders and twitches his legs and replies, Surprisingly fine. I have no aches anywhere! The doctor smiles and takes her stethoscope from around her neck and places the ear pieces in her ears. Simon sits quietly as she listens to his heartbeat with the other end. She removes the stethoscope and places it in her pocket. Simon asks, Well Dr. DocDream what do you conclude? She looks in his eyes and says, It looks like you may have suffered a small temporary concussion, nothing to be alarmed about. Simon says, That’s great right! I mean I can go now. I have to go now I have a premiere tonight. Simon’s parents walk into the room and rush up to his bed. Mrs. Dreamlee exclaims, Oh Simon my dear boy. Mr. Dreamlee says, Simon son you’re alright. He’s alright right doc? Dr. DocDream looks at Simon’s father and replies, Well yes it was just a small, minor concussion that I think he has no need to worry about however… Simon exclaims, However… Dr. DocDream looks at Simon and continues, Yes, as I was saying, I think that I rather keep Simon here overnight for observation just to be on the safe side. Simon looks at his mother and says, No…no…No I can’t…my premiere is tonight and I can’t miss it at all. I won’t miss it. I refuse to miss it. Mr. Dreamlee says, Son this may be what’s best for you. Simon jumps out of the hospital stretcher and says, Look I’m fine, no scratches, no bruise, owe…okay maybe a small one on my left thigh but nothing major. I’m fine. Please let me go to my premiere. This is important to me! Mrs. Dreamlee looks at the doctor and says, Well what do you think Dr. DocDream? Can he go? The room fills with silence as Simon and his parents wait for the short, long haired blond doctor’s answer. Dr. DocDream smiles warmly and replies, Oh alright… It’s okay I’ll discharge you from the Dreamville Hospital on one condition. Simon says, Name it. Dr. DocDream says, My condition is that Simon, you must immediately check yourself back in here if you experience dizziness or fatigue. A fall like you had based on witness accounts, you’re lucky you’re not in a full body casts and in need of a CT scan of your head to make sure your brains still intact. Simon touches his head with his right hand and says, Really? It was that bad? Well whatever I’m fine. Thank you Dr. DocDream! Mrs. Dreamlee smiles and says, Yes thank you Doctor. Well Simon let’s go before she changes her mind. Mr. Dreamlee follows his wife and son out of the hospital room as he says, Yes thank you, we really appreciate your expertise. They quickly walk down the hallways and out the front door of the Dreamville Hospital and straight to their hover car. Once inside their hover car, Simon says, So did you pick up my hover board? Mr. Dreamlee who’s driving the hover car looks at Simon through his rearview mirror and Mrs. Dreamlee turns around to face Simon and she says, Dear, your hover board was smashed to pieces, so many that there’s absolutely no way it can ever be mended…properly. Mr. Dreamlee interrupts his lovely wife as he pulls up to what appears to be a riot being poorly controlled by the Dreamville Dream Police Squad taking place in front of Dreamtrue School, he says, Simon, son, whatever you do, don’t take this personally. Son, always be who you are. As Simon listens to the last words of his father’s pep talk he reads the signs being held in the air by the protesters. One says, SIMON DREAMLEE IS BAD FOR DREAMVILLE, another one states, DON’T SUPPORT SIMON DREAMLEE’S LATEST DREAM, EVIL DREAM and the third one says, NO DREAMVILLIAN SHOULD BE WITH AN OUTSIDER. Simon gulps at the sight of the crowd. Mr. Dreamlee hovers by as quickly as he could. Mrs. Dreamlee says, Good they didn’t notice it was us hovering by. Simon whispers to himself, Oh my nightmares, my most un-dreamy nightmares come true. They hover into their hover car garage and quickly make their way into the house and up to their rooms to get washed and dressed for the big show.

Simon lingers in his room and looks out of his window and whispers to himself, Tonight will determine the rest of my existence if any is left at all for me in Dreamville. My most… He’s unable to finish his thought as his mother calls for him from downstairs, she says, Simon, son, dear, quickly we’re going to be late for your big night. Simon replies, Coming mother! I’m on my way downstairs now. Simon quickly grabs his cologne marked DreamSpritz a blend of cedar wood with a hint of musk and sprays it on himself and runs out of his room and downstairs to the hover car garage and climbs inside where his parents are waiting for him with large smiles filled with pride. They start hovering for Dreamtrue School through a different route so they’re not stopped by the protesting mob. They reach the hover parkade and park the hover car on the fourth level in the number forty-seven stall. Principal DreamRoyal is waiting for them and as they get out of their hover car, he very quietly says, Quickly now, come with me. The Dreamlee’s follow him to the sixth level into a well lit secret passageway door that’s hidden behind a Dreamville garbage can and camouflaged by a parking stall number, number sixty-three that leads from the parkade straight into the Principals office. Once in the office the secret passage is sealed and hidden behind a moving bookcase. Principal DreamRoyal turns to them and says, Say nothing to no one. Quickly now we must get to your production Simon. I, myself, can’t wait to be enchanted by your dream to come true Simon Dreamlee. Simon says, That’s great! Really awesome! One question though. What about the rioters? King, also, Principal DreamRoyal replies, Our friends the gargoyles are voluntarily standing vigil for us as body guards. Simon smiles and says, Oh thank dreams! Mrs. Dreamlee says, Speaking of dreams Simon, they’re all waiting. They all rush to the Dreamville Dream theatre and enter through the back. All the actors, dancers, singers, musicians, technicians and behind the scenes people give a collective sigh of relief as they turn to see Simon’s arrived. Simon says, Everyone in your places, we have a show to put on! No one moves and Simon realizes what he needs to say and says, Oh and break a leg everyone! They all scurry and quickly position themselves for the opening act. As Simon watches, his cast gets into their starting poses and positions he feels his parents place their hands on either side of both his shoulders which makes him feel secure and supported by the people in his life that matter to him the most. Now the question in Simon’s brain is; will the play begin well with him as the narrator portraying himself intertwined throughout the scenes along with the symphony music and the angelic voices of the singers?

Chapter Two – "Forbidden

Love" The Musical

That same Wednesday evening, the theatre grows silent as the lights dim and everyone is in place to begin the retelling of the adventure that ends with the beginning of puppy love. The film crews are filming it, as well, to make the movie. Almont also plays himself making the scenes he’s in also very compelling, because, he’s also speaking from his heart. The play has many scenes but the most memorable character seems to be the sociopathic, narcissistic and nightmarish Miss DreamNot. Simon acting as the narrator and piano player says, The terrifying Miss DreamNot infiltrated the Outsiders Police and made herself the chief of their Police force. The dancers take to the stage and dance out the scene where the actor and dancer portraying Miss DreamNot still always dressed in black weaves her black material around the human police and she hypnotizes them into believing her every word. She sings evilly with a raspy, husky voice that cracks and cackles at the end of her song.

I’m the one who,

Who, you all will obey?

ME

I’m the one who,

Who, you all will bow to?

ME

I’m the one who,

Who, you all will worship?

ME

I’m the one who,

Who will control you?

ME

I’m the one who,

Who, will reign over you?

ME

I’m the one who,

Who will rule both worlds?

ME

I’m the one who,

Who, you all will fear?

ME

Ha, ha, aha, ha, ha, aha, ha…

The next scene begins with the disappearance of Jilla, of course, and the following events as they transpired. Jilla plays herself in the play singing about her ordeal with fear, mistrust and yet absolute hope that she would again see Dreamville, her parents, her friends and her fellow Dreamvillians. The dancers portraying the gargoyles snatch her out of her bed from deep sleep just milliseconds after they detach her dream catcher from her head. Jilla sings in the arms of the gargoyle, Gargantua, who snatched her and the singers and actors are lifted into the night sky flying over the audience who gasp at the sight of the actors and singers swaying, flying and singing just over their heads. Jilla sings angelically as the words pour out from her heart and soul having really experienced the actual fluctuation of feelings that are associated with such a trauma. At this point, at the end of the song, Jilla faints from fear.

Mm…. Ah!

What creature is this?

That has snatched me?

Oh where are you

Taking me you brute beast?

Wake up now!

Wake up!

Wake up!

Wake up!

Where?

Why?

Who?

What?

No, no, no, no not there! Not there!

Oh my tears welt my eyes

Must be playing tricks on me

Deceive me

Wake up now!

Wake up!

Wake up!

Wake up!

Where?

Why?

Who?

What?

Please be deceiving me

My beloved Dreamville

Nightmares, poisoned alcohol

Induced nightmares

Wake up now!

Wake up!

Wake up!

Wake up!

Where?

Why?

Who?

What?

This can’t be real

This can’t be my destiny

This can’t be my end

This can’t be my fate

Wake up now!

Wake up!

Wake up!

Wake up!

Where?

Why?

Who?

What?

Who are you Psychopaths?

Why me? Oh why me?

Oh why anyone at all?

To bring me here murder me.

Bye my beloved friends.

Bye my beloved parents.

Bye my beloved dreams.

Wake up now!

Wake up!

Wake up!

Wake up!

Where?

Why?

Who?

What?

Bye!

The third scene also the added scene that even Simon wanted to see comes to life. It stems from his best friend’s dream. Simon’s voice softly tells the tale of the kidnappers as the dancers and actors play the event out on the stage. Simon the narrator says, Meanwhile, soaring high through the Outsiders chilly night sky, Sartua says to Almont. The actor playing
