Sweet Dreams for them all!

With the huge festivities drawing to a close, Seth found himself sleepier than usual. He was cleaning up some of the mess he had made from the over-decorating he did and the spent fireworks. He didn’t mean to let them lie outside in his small yard for too long, so he wanted to make sure all the trash was cleaned and put away.

“Hmnnn… Sooner or later I’ll just pass out in the grass here… This was all a lot of fun but… This is a lot of work for a lazy bun like me…” Seth muttered to himself as he stood up straight, cracking his back a bit in the process. “Ugh… That sounds like an old man moving around with his creaky joints…”

He made his way inside to place the garbage into the bag it originally came from for later when the garbage was to be thrown out. There was still more to do, but his weary young bones made him want to sit and relax. Before that could happen, however, he grabbed the nearby broom to clean up the area he was in of the various things on the ground that needed to be tossed.

Swipe after swipe, the floor was finally swept and clear of any debris.

“That about does it for that smidge of cleaning… Hhhh… Now I’m too tired to do much more… It must be sleeping time again… I woke up not long ago to the mochi being gone and eaten, so I hope it was at least better than a bland ball of sadness…” Seth said as he grabbed the plate to return it to the kitchen for cleaning.

He dragged himself to the bottom of the stairs and then wobbled up them before yawning again, flopping himself back into bed and curling up in the blankets strewn about it and the pillows all around him. Hugging one of the pillows closer to him and nuzzling it sleepily.

As soon as sleep took over his mind, the mochi he had eaten and the sleep deprived feeling of before started kicking in to take hold of his dreamscape that was slowly morphing into a colorful land of what looked like cotton candy.

It was a dreamscape that one would find themselves jealous of if any other bun had told them about it.

The cotton candy like clouds around Seth floated by as he drifted through the air, floating above these colorful looking candy pieces. They were reminiscent of the flavor bites that he had tasted at Dan’s shop prior to now. When he reached out and grabbed one, it was like a beautiful gem the way it had shined at him.

This world that he had slipped into made for one beautiful space that let his mind float around in a mochi madness stirred by the number of flavors and pieces of mochi he had. Thanks to Dan who had taught him how to make this delectable treat!

“Hmnnn… Just one more piece….” Seth mumbled in his sleep as he rustled around his pillows and got comfier while biting at the pillow in his arms slightly, thinking it was a large piece of mochi.

This turn of events would have been quite the story for later when he found the small fang marks in his pillow that he had created by unknowingly trying to eat it in his sleep. For now, he would continue to munch on it and he felt like he could deal with it later. May the pillow rest in peace for now and find solace outside of his dream.

 Speaking of dreamscapes, Seth found himself munching on goodies and also moving through the multiple-colored spaces that his mind made for him. A beautiful moon made its way into the sky and shined down upon him warmly as he made himself more comfortable. This holiday seemed to be one he would find himself returning to in years to come. It seemed very friendly and something he could be a part of all over again.

This is how he found the phantom shape of Dan the nice bun who taught him to make the main treat of the holiday, smiling and waving at him as the dream shifted to the experience he had with the fellow. He found the other to be kind and very strong from what he could tell.

“I should work out more… Maybe one day I could be as strong as him…” Seth muttered to himself as he shifted in his sleep once more as he flexed within his dream land.

He was lacking in the defined muscle area, but the dream land then made his body morph to that of a bodybuilder, and he shrieked within the world. Seth found himself not quite liking the idea of having big muscles and would rather stay on the smaller side of muscles!

With the dream slowly drifting off into the ending of this moment and letting it fade into the darkness, Seth found himself moving a bit more in bed. That was… Until he fell off the side and into the floor. He was in a heap of pillows and blankets.

“Hnnnnng… Ow… How did I fall out of bed…? Why does my mouth taste like… cotton? Did I… No… I didn’t… Ugh… That wasn’t mochi I was eating, was it…? Hhhh…” He brought his hand up to his head and rubbed it gently, not quite hurt but still spinning within the dreamscape for a moment.

This holiday of the Mochi Moon would be one for the others to live up to. Nothing would beat this experience for now and he would find it hard to top it with the learning of making things to the almost devouring of one of his favorite pillows.

At least it was one that was somewhat eventful and not one he would easily forget for the years to come. This would be chalked up as one of the most fun times in his life.

In the back of his mind, he hopes that the overseeing blessings enjoyed their time as well.
