Shiro dreamed, it was one of those dreams
that's screams that today is going to be bad.
Shiro himself seemed to be in full control expect
for the fact that he couldn't wake up. The sun
was out, yet clouds were threatening to rain,
pools of mud were everywhere. The people around him
seemed to be faceless, waiting for something to
happen.
	"Wake up, wake up, wake up!" Shiro
screamed at himself, "Just wake up, and
everything will be fine." Before him seemed
to be some...ball of mud. It seemed to talk;
yet there was no sound coming out of his
mouth. The ball of mud stopped talking, and
increased his size and started rolling at
him. The faceless crowd turned to him, and
started chanted, "Shirrrrrrrro, Shirrrrrrrrro,"
Over and over again. Three girls from the
crowd stepped out and he could make out
that they were Tonomi, Sakura, and Karou.
He looked behind him and saw Mariko,
grabbing at her keens, looking at him. Just
looking at him. Then out of nowhere came a
fat panda, holding a teakettle full of hot
water and poured it on Shiro's head. He
woke up.
	"The heck...was that?" Shiro asked,
himself as he got out of his bed covered
in a layer of sweat. <The whole dream felt
real. Yet it wasn't,> He considered just
staying home and call in sick, but he
shrugged it off, and got ready to teach.
Outside the sun was shining without a
cloud in sight.

	Shiro turned on his computer waiting
for windows to boot up. Shiro turned on his
computer waiting for windows to boot up. He
drank a cup of coffee as he was still groggy
from that dream he just had. He waited for
his computer to connect. It had been a while
since he had checked his e-mail, <I hope I
don't have too many messages. > He waited
for the page to load. 259 new messages. Shiro
faced palmed.

	Tonomi got up from her bed looking
refreshed and wearing a smile from the
dream that she just had. <Everything was
perfect about it, my wedding dress, the
guests were smiling at us, and Shiro-san!>
Tonomi giggled as she recalled this part
of the dream. <Shiro-san just looked so
dashing! Though there was one thing wrong,>
she thought with a frown. <I looked like I
was 23! And Shiro-san looked like he was
close to 30!> Her mood dampened as she
thought this out. She always thought that
dreams on some levels mean something, "Well
expect the ones where I go to Candyland
with the Care Bares, now those are just
weird," Tonomi muttered out loud.
<Okay I'm in my 20's in my dream,
and Shiro-san looked he was 30, that can't
be good. So I'm telling myself that I'm
going to be old before I can get Shiro-san!
I think,> "My head hurts now," she remarked
as she held her head in her hands. <Okay
lets try this again, me and Shiro-san are
old, and I'm guessing that I'm telling
myself that I'm going to have to wait
awhile if I want Shiro-san. Now that I
got that figured out, what to do about
it?> She thought as she grabbed the Itami
plushy from her bedpost and hugged it with
all her might.

	<Spam, all of it was spam,> Shiro
thought as a headache came to him. They
ranged from the usual, "BUY THE AB-MASTER
3000 TODAY!" To the downright weird, "Join
the cult of Subby-chan today and get a
free T-shirt!" On the bottom was a picture
of this...well thing. Shiro just sweat
dropped as he deleted all the spam. Finally
he came to the last message, he opened it,

To: shiro_smith@hotmail.com

From: onigirl@hotmail.com


	Hey Shiro, long time no see! I just gotta
tell ya, I'm getting some time off and I'm
thinking of either visiting you or doing some
skiing...hmm, the mountains in Japan should be
great right now, and I really want to visit my
favorite cousin. So you better set up a place
to sleep for me when I get there Shiro, or I
won't forgive you!

	Your most bestest and cutest cousin in
the hold wide world.

P.S. I'll e-mail you when my plane gonna come okay?

	"You have got to me kidding me," Shiro
said after he finished reading the message. Shiro
turned to the little clock on his computer, "Ack,
I'm late!" With that said he shut off his comp.
And dashed out of the apartment, still wearing
his PJ's.

	When Shiro got to the high school, he
found something odd, it was closed. He found a
note tapped on the gates.


Due to fighting on school grounds over
the night, we will be closed for at least two
weeks.

      Ms. Hinako

	P.S. Don't any of you be naughty!

	"Least I don't have to worry about school
for a while," Shiro said out loud. He didn't know
if he should be happy that he didn't have to deal
with school for awhile or sad that.... <You know
I have don't know why I should be sad, I needed a
little vacation anyway.>
	"Hey Shiro! Over here!" Sakura called
from her classroom on the 2nd floor. "Shiro,
just wait right there, okay?" She yelled as she
left the classroom and headed to Shiro.
	"Sure thing Sakura!" Shiro yelled at her
back. As she came to the gate Shiro asked her
what happened.
	"Basically Ranma and Ryoga had a fight
here on the school grounds," Sakura said as if
it explained everything.
	"I see."
	"Anyway this happened once or twice
before, and we still get paid while they fix
the school. It's pretty much a working vacation."
	"That's great."
	Silence passed between for five minutes.
	"Uh... I know this place where we can
get some good food, and it's pretty cheap,"
Sakura stammered.
	"Sure, I'm kind of hungry right now."
	"Great! Uh, I mean great," Sakura was
practically giddy. Her and Shiro on a date!
<Well sorta,> She amended, they didn't
officially call it a date. Then she finally
noticed something. "Uh Shiro, why are you
in your Pajamas?"
	Shiro just faced palmed.



Author Notes: I'm just so, so, sorry this is
so bad and so short. I tried to make it longer,
but my computer kept trying to piss me off by
freezing on me. So a lot of stuff I put in was
lost, and this you read before is what I could
save before my computer could freeze on me. And
I also had to deal with a nasty cold during the
first half of the week. I'm sorry if you didn't
like it, but hey Falcon's next and you should
get a great chapter out of him.  Oh, and I want
C&C on this so send it to sonny_taing@hotmail.com
or kumon@lycos.com, anyway I gotta go now.
