Christian settled into the bed and watched the TV while he drank his pop. After Penny fell asleep, Christian switched the channels until he found an interesting TV program that had people doing an obstacle course and falling a lot. He found it strange that humans actually wanted to do such things, but also found it strangely inspiring. He looked over at Penny while she slept, a slight smile on his face as he watched her eyes flutter from side-to-side under closed lids. He wondered what she was dreaming of, and was briefly tempted to enter her dream to find out for himself.

Eventually, Christian became bored with the TV and shut it off in favour of reading. He moved locations to read by a low lamp light, so as not to disturb Penny. Christian flipped a page when Penny started to toss and turn in her bed. She mumbled in her sleep, and Christian leaned forward with a slight frown on his face. [i]Luke...Luke...[/i]

Her brother? Christian set his book down, waiting to see if Penny would naturally settle down.

"No!" She cried before flailing in the bed. Christian jumped to his feet, hurrying to Penny's side.

[color=#B0E0E6]"Penny! Penny, it was just a dream!"[/color] He cried in an effort to get through to her. Penny continued to thrash, trying to untangle herself from the blankets. Christian quickly assisted, pulling off all the blankets and sheets before he grabbed onto Penny's arms with some force. [color=#B0E0E6]"Penny! It's Christian, you're safe. You're safe,"[/color] he repeated, hoping to get through to her and prevent her from hurting herself.
