Chapter 2.

The dreamscape that encapsulates Siouxee’s reality consists of a 50’s era Five & Dime, the interior walls are red & white striped and they’re lit with ceiling trim made out of red, white and blue neon light tubes. The counter tops are marbled and trimmed with chrome details. The floors are shiny, black and white checker board tiles. The place is packed with young kids and teenagers but Siouxee is sitting all alone on a bar stool, facing away from everyone and sipping on a milk shake though a candy striped straw. As she stares into nothingness, the look on her face is void of expression. Through the noise of all the chitter chatter and rambunctiousness of the young crowd, a song playing on the jukebox starts to get louder and louder until it drowns out everything else and is blaring in her ears. “Wake up, little Susie, wake up, we’ve both been sound asleep, wake up, little Susie and weep. The movie’s over, it’s four o’clock and we’re in trouble deep. Wake up little Susie, wake up little Susie!” Siouxee awakes from her catatonia while bee bopping to the classic tune by the Everly Brothers and singing it at the top of her lungs. Voluspa, not happy with how she awoke gives her one final hefty smack and yells out “Snap out of it, already!” This jolts Siouxee into awareness of her real surroundings where she discovers Madame Voluspa staring at her with much dismay. “What da, how da, where did you come from? Where’s my patient?? Siouxee asks Voluspa. With disgust in her voice, Voluspa says “He’s getting a-vay, and it’s all your fault! You’re of no use to me anymore, make like a bird and fly a-vay!! As Voluspa claps her hands thunderously, an accidental spell comes over Siouxee that makes her feel like a majestic bird. She squawks, flaps her arms and jumps head first into a window that doesn’t break but just bounces her to land on the floor, flat on her back. Voluspa wickedly yells out loud, “You fool, I didn’t mean literally, hahahaha! So long, Dingy!” Voluspa then opens the window herself, pushes out the screen and swoops down to comfortably land A middle to late aged lady being chased by a black muscle car. The lady is riding her special bike.on her custom punk’d motorcycle. She then rides off in hopes to catch up with Ichabode, Khonsu and Mr. Bqi Bqi.
