Valentina hoped her intimate nightmares of Morticia and Gomez were just a one-off. Okay, maybe a two-off or three-off. But once they started to occur a couple times a month, she knew she had to do something to put a stop to them. It was getting to the point where she was scared to go to sleep!

So she started practicing lucid dreaming. It was a pain in the butt, keeping a dream journal and waking up every two to three hours to reality check. The fruits of her labor weren't evident at first, either. And, once she started to show progress, she still wasn't able to control her dreams all of the time.

But, eventually, like a large button hooking into an eyelet, everything slipped into place.

One night, she opened her eyes and she was back in her and Morticia's dorm room in Ophelia Hall. She was crippling aware of the fact that she was in her underwear, almost completely naked. Nudity had become a predominant theme in these nightmares of hers. No clue why.

For a change of pace, Morticia and Gomez were nearly nude as well. At least, in this dream. All three of them were in Tish's bed, piled high atop that little twin-sized mattress.

Gomez laid flat on his back with his two lovers sitting on him. He didn't seem to mind. In fact, he was grinning, his eyes lit up like pilot lights. Valentina was straddling his waist, and thanking her lucky stars that she wasn't straddling his hips instead.

Morticia was, and didn't seem to have any problems with the incredibly intimate position. Val couldn't see her, but she could feel her at her back, the warmth radiating off of her and the occasional kisses she would press to the nape of her neck.

Am I dreaming? Valentina asked herself. She looked at the antique clock on Tish's nightstand, and noticed the hands wildly twirling around behind the glass. Then, just to double-check, she glanced over her shoulder at the twin vanities. Moonlight lit the room just enough for her to make out what was on the surfaces. Neither reflected any angle of the room. In fact, both were static, like a snowstorm at midnight.

"Are we boring you, cariño?" Gomez crooned as he obsessively rubbed his hands up and down the lengths of her outer thighs, like he was seeking warmth from the friction.

"I'm dreaming right now," she informed him, straight and simple.

For a figment of her imagination, he looked surprised at this fact. His eyes went wide and his grin became crooked.

"Don't we feel real to you, mon chou?" Morticia asked her, wrapping her hands around the other girl's bare waist --so tight she was almost pinching her-- before pressing her front to her back. She leaned forward as Val leaned away, until they were at such an angle that Valentina had to brace herself, splay out her hands on Gomez's chest.

"It isn't real," she stated. "And I want to wake up now."

She thought that caused the couple to start to sweat, because the skin touching her quickly grew sticky and wet, like that of a frog. More than a little grossed out, she tried to pull away from them both. That's when she noticed what was really happening.

Everywhere they touched, her flesh was merging with that of Morticia and Gomez. They were dripping into each other like an ice cream cone of three different flavors melting. Soon all that would be left was a pile of flesh and bones with no discernible features. Like all the rest of her nightmares about the couple, it was absolutely terrifying.

Valentina felt anxiety creep up from her chest to her mouth, like she was about to throw up or have a panic attack. But lucid dreaming only worked so long as she kept her composure.

"Stop," she tried one more time. If anything, they pressed closer to hasten the change.

Then she screwed her eyes shut real tight and focused all her energy on removing herself from the mass. And it worked! She looked down at her hand to find they were no longer disappearing into Gomez's torso. Before the couple could realize what she'd just done, she threw herself sideways off the bed and scrambled away, putting the width of the dorm room between her and them.
