Bedtime for Back Pain.

 Corey and Oats in…

Bedtime for Back Pain.

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

When it’s time for bed at the Nile Road house all the microbes gather together and Corey and Oats get to decide which microbe gets to be their guest of honor for the night, tonight it was Brian’s turn, Brain was a back pain microbe who was always sad and depressed because he was always in pain, he couldn’t ignore the pain or do anything about it, every night he had trouble sleeping because none of the beds supported him and he cried and sobbed. ‘Oww ooo, I don’t like this bed.’ he moaned as he got up and moved over to a spaceship themed bed Corey had magicked up for him.

“Surely there must be one bed you like.”

“Some of these are too large, some of these are too lumpy, and no matter which ones I try my back still hurts.”

‘Oh..poor Back Pain. I think we should help him.’ ‘Yeah…come on Corey.’ Corey and Oats looked over at Brian who was putting on his PJs and deciding on where he wanted to sleep, he tried out several beds but none of them helped him with his problem. ‘Ouch woo woo…this bed hurts me.’ ‘Brian, would you like to be our sleepover buddy for the night?’ ‘I would very much like to but I am afraid my aching back would cause some problems.’ ‘We can help you if you like.’

“How are you going to do that?”

Oats showed Brian the magic bedbox and he pulled out a special map which had all sorts of magical areas on it to explore as their pegasus bed levitated, the two of them hopped into the bed along with him and they began their search for the perfect place for him to sleep, the first place they found was a jungle treehouse. Brian laid down on a bed of leaves but found himself unable to sleep because he kept seeing the eyes of numerous different creatures watching him while he slept.

The next place Corey and Oats showed him was an underwater bedroom, he tried sleeping in it but kept getting wet…’it’s no use. None of these beds i’ve slept on so far, work.’ He sighed, but then Oats showed him a lovely flowery bed. He hopped onto the flower bed and snuggled on it, it was cozy but also made him sneeze…’Oh no.’ ‘What’s wrong this time?’ ‘This bed made me sneeze.’

“Oh dear.”

“Where shall we go next?”

Corey used a spell to transport them over to a little bed on the top of a tree, where Brian hopped into said bed and drifted off, having nice dreams and rocking back and forth on the tree top but when the bough broke off the cradle rocked, and began to fall off the tree…as Brian woke up with a scream as he came crashing down, cradle and all. ‘That wasn’t a good place to sleep.‘ ‘Aaaaw, what happened Brian?’ ‘That was close..I nearly got hurt and I fell out of the tree.’ ‘Are you alright?’ ‘Yes, I'm a little worried i’ll never get to sleep, but yes i’m alright.’ ‘There there..let’s keep trying.’

The next place they chose was a lovely nature themed bedroom in a resort, Brian yawned as he drifted off to sleep but he was disrupted by his noisy neighbors and he still wasn’t happy. ‘Oh no..this isn’t going well.’ ‘What do we do next?’ Corey thought of an idea before using some magic to give him a cave-bedroom. Brian tried to sleep in it but he couldn’t because he heard creepy sounds and he still was in agony.

“It’s hopeless..”

“No it’s not Brian, don’t be like that.”

He sobbed but he realized he shouldn’t give up, as Corey and Oats used their magic to make him a comfy bedroom that was suitable for him. Brian felt much happier about it as he looked at them and hugged them before using their magic to transport him back to their bedroom in Nile Road. ‘Now are you ready to be our sleepytime pal?’ ‘Sure am. I feel better.’ ‘Come on, let’s snuggle up.’ He yawned as he hopped into bed with Corey and Oats, he felt much better now as he drifted off to sleep.

“Good night Corey.”

“Good night Oats.”

‘Good night Back Pain.’ Corey added as Brian drifted off to sleep with the duo following suite as they all slept peacefully that night, Brian’s back stopped aching and they all had lovely dreams as the pegasus bed turned into a train and took them on a magical tour through the dream-world where they all got to make their own dream places to live.

Brian was finally happy and his back got better rather quickly the next day but for now we say goodnight Oatsie, goodnight Corey and good night Back Pain.
