Chapter 16: Planning
I was sitting in class with the professor once again going on one of his rants about something completely off topic. I stopped listening after he started talking about the Illuminati. We're in college and the professor wants to go on a tangent about an organization that both no longer exists and has been taken completely out of context. How did I end up here anyway?
I mean, the only real reason I wanted to go to college was so I could actually get a job since it seems you need a diploma to even flip burgers now a days. Hell, I bet there is a diploma in burgerology or some stupid shit like that somewhere.
"James?"
I mean there are some moronic courses you can take here. What could be the use for a diploma in philosophy; admittedly it's a good class but you can't get a job with that.
"James."
I did take one course in it and I enjoyed it as it helped me understand some things, but I still don't see why-
"JAMES!" The professor semi screamed at me from the front.
"hm, oh sorry sir. What were you asking?" I answered while straightening up my posture.
"Would you like to repeat what I said?"
"No, sir,"
"Then pay attention. Now class, the Illuminati," god damn it. He went right back to the whole Illuminati bullshit so I went back to slouching in my desk. Why do I have to deal with this bullshit while Jason gets to travel the world?
"What is this 'Illuminati' thing?" a voice echoed throughout the room. My eyes shot open and I looked around the room to see who said that. I must have been the only one to hear it because everyone else was facing the front. I once again relaxed my posture until I noticed the girl beside me turned to me.
"Can I help you?" I asked the girl. The blue faced girl looked at me with a perplexed look.
"This 'Illuminati'thing. What is it? You keep losing focus so I can't hear him." The girl replied which made me look at her with a 'are you kidding me' expression.
"Just listen to him. I don't have to be focusing for you to hear him.:
"This is your dream so you have to,"
"What?"

I shot up out of my bed which I was tucked into for some reason. I tried thinking back to what I was just dreaming, but I was already forgetting what it was about. I know it had something to do with taking over the world!
I crawled out of the bed and slowly rose to my feet while stretching.
"*yawn* Fucking beds in shit," i said to my self as I started stretching out my back while listening to some satisfying pops from my back. That's probably the most beautiful sound I've heard since arriving in this crazy ass land of horses.
A moment later was when Bon Bon walked into the room with a tray of pancakes on her back.
"Good morning James. Did you sleep well?" She asked while setting the tray down on one of the end tables.
"Yeah, a weird dream but nothing new." I replied as I decided to go caveman and eat one of the pancakes with my bare hands. Bon Bon looked at me wide eyed for a minute before shaking her head and continuing the conversation.
"What kind of weird dreams?" she asked while getting uncomfortably close to me.
"I don't remember what they were about, but I know they aren't normal. Don't worry about it Bonny." I said before petting her head and making my way to the door. "Thanks for the food by the way."
***in the main room***
"What do you mean you don't know where to go? You're the one flying this thing!" Ruby yelled at Gretch who had a vein visibly pulsing on her forehead.
"I know where we have to go, but I don't know where to start. Read my beak, I don't know where to start!" Gretch yelled back while I walked up to the map on the wall. I had no idea how long is was sitting there, but I wasn't going to complain about it.
"How about we go after that alpha teeth first?" I proposed which caused Gretch to become rather agitated to say the least.
"I am not flying into diamond dog territory! You're on your own if you think I'm risking my neck like that!" Gretch screeched at us. I had to clean out my ears to make sure I could still hear. I mean, I'm pretty sure that ringing shouldn't last for this long.
"Why not?" I asked when I could finally hear again,
"Because diamond dogs are monsters and they all should die in there damn holes!"
"That's not right, Gretch. I want you to calm down." I said while stretching out my hand to do that whole simmer down thing.
"Listen, I'll fly you anywhere except there. Do you understand?" She said while trying to calm herself down.
"I think we should start with that because it's closer. We get that first and you can go ahead and get it over with." I reasoned. Gretch looked at me for a minute while thinking it over in her head.
"Fine, but I'm dropping you off just outside of their territory. You get the teeth and you come back. This is the best I'm willing to do for you."
"Deal."
