It's Okay To Be Afraid.

 Corey and Oats in…It’s Okay To Be Afraid.

--------------------------------------------

I think even the bravest of humans, animals or even microbes can attest to how horrifying it can be to be in dark spaces especially if you have a fear of the dark.  Corey and Oats were having a nice peaceful sleep with their companion Mel one night and listening to the classical music station, drifting off and having a nice rest and having sweet dreams, of course their bedroom in the Nile Road house was very warm and soft and pink, and now adorned with a fabulous pegasus blanket.  The duo slept soundly with a few guests, mainly a secondary microbe that had joined them such as Eggna or Barry Booger and Trump Cat. Trump Cat was becoming quite popular at the house.

But the bed was more than just beautiful, when night came around and when they drifted off to sleep the bed would fly and take them on fantastic adventures during the night. Right now, the duo and Trump-cat were in the bed and the bed was in the form of a rollercoaster ride and they were all at a theme park.  Corey held on as the bed went through several loops and tunnels, the group cheered as it took off. ‘Wheee! This is fun.’  ‘Yeah, night-time adventures are the best’ ‘I agree.’  

Trump Cat carefully listened to the safety instructions as the group had fun in the rollercoaster their bed had morphed into, Oats whinnied happily as he had never had such fun.  But just as the ride was about to end, the group was interrupted and taken out of the dream world…’What’s going on, mommy?’  Oats whimpered, looking over at Mel.  The radio the group had listened to suddenly turned itself off along with the nightlight and the microbes all panicked.

“The power has gone out…”

“What do we do?”

“Nobody panic, we can do this.”

Oats felt really afraid as he looked around, he panicked as he felt something emerging from underneath the bed as the bed suddenly turned into a twisted monster bed. ‘Somebody call Ysa or Andrea.’  ‘I don’t know if we can, they’re asleep.’  ‘Oh shoot.’  Corey murmured to himself, the duo struggled to try and get back to sleep but they couldn’t because of all the shadowy dancers and ghostly beings haunting them.   

Corey tried to go and find a torch but there wasn’t one, luckily though he found one in the magic bedbox and used it to navigate around, he left the bedroom and headed down the hallway to the bathroom to investigate further,  Corey felt a chill done his spine as he sensed the presence of a horrifying monster, although it was worse than a monster it was his evil cousin Omi the omnicron microbe. ‘You have failed as a virus, Corey…you went soft. And now I shall succeed where you have failed.’  ‘You don’t scare me Omi.’

Omi laughed evilly as he unleashed an army of possessed blood cell minions after his cousin, but Corey was able to fight them off easily.  Meanwhile Oatsie was shaking and shivering in his room as he was having nightmarish visions of demon ponies that floated around him, one nightmarish vision seemed to be coming true right before his eyes.

He examined his night-dress and looked at it, just in time to see it change into a red dress with a white shawl..he recognized this type of dress, this was the same dress that the title character wore in Rosemary’s Baby and he found himself in a reenactment of the movie, acting out the character’s situation and even dancing with an anthro demon horse.  He saw a pram with an anthro foal inside and he cooed in a sweet manner at the foal before picking him up, he whinnied in horror when he saw what the foal had…the foal possessed black eyes with deep red irises. ‘What have you done to his eyes? What have you done to his eyes?’

“Mommy…mommy!’  ‘I’m not your mommy!’ Oats backed away, whinnying and wanting it all to go away, feeling afraid, then he awoke from that vision and sighed. ‘Phew, what a nightmare that was.’  He then saw the demon foal staring at him next to him on the bed…’Noo, this is no dream, this is really happening!’  Luckily Corey heard this and he came to Oats’s rescue and comforted him as did Mel, Mel hugged him.

Oats didn’t feel so scared after that and used his special magical abilities to create a shining light as they met in the bathroom to work out a plan, Oats found a magical torch which he gave to Corey as they made their way through the bathroom and down the hallway back into the bedroom, Trump Cat was also fitting off shadow monsters and monster versions of himself that he saw through the reflection in the mirror. Upon reaching the bedroom the duo tossed Mel a spare torch and they waited,  they didn’t have to wait long for the power to come back and once the power came back on, they hopped in the bed and snuggled up as the classic musical station turned on.

“Yaaaaay, our favorite music is back.”

“Yes, look how it soothes our monsterfied bed.”

The bed that had turned into a monster bed settled down as it turned back into in his normal form before turning into a lovely boat as the two drifted off to sleep along with Mel, and for the rest of the night they had a good night’s sleep and happy pink dreams, as the magical bed took the duo on a lovely boat ride that took them all the way to Oats’s dream palace.  Oats smiled as he showed Corey his dream palace that had a pink theme to it. ‘There we go. All better.’

“Good night Corey.”

“Good night Oats.”

‘Good night Mel..’ the duo said in unison as they slept and had lovely dreams of their pink palace adventure and Trump-Cat rested peacefully that night too, and they all slept well and were all well rested,the terrors of the night faded away and the duo slept rather well,  the next morning the duo got up and were all smiley and happy as they got out of the magical bed and Mel turned on her computer.

“Good morning Mel.”

“Good morning Corey, good morning Oats.”

‘Did you sleep well, mommy?’ Oats asked. ‘Yes, I did…how about you?’ Corey winked as he replied…’Yes, thanks to working together as a team.’  And thus with that the group all hugged eachother and got ready for the day.

“I gotta admit it was a little scary last night.”

“Yeah but luckily we made it through the night together.”

“That’s alright, it’s alright to be scared.”

Remember, it’s alright to be afraid, not everyone is brave in the face of fear, remember whenever there is darkness there is a guiding light to help you see it through, if you work together there is nothing you can’t accomplish.
