This is the first time anything in a dream would hold on to me for extended periods of time.
"SONANOKAAAAAAA!!!"
Rumia suddenly grabs a hold of me from behind and hoists herself on my back to ride me. I flipped out and tried to shake her off, but she help on tight while laughing.
This is literally how the dream started. I was just walking on a path through the bamboo forest before this happened.
I eventually gave up after struggling for five minutes. She had her arms and legs wrapped around me there was no way I can shake her off easy. I narrow my eyes and kept walking thinking I could just inore it until she's bored.
Then I heard someone laughing at me. I look around and saw Tewi standing off the path between bamboos. I glare at her, but she kept laughing, but she fell backward and tumbled back out of my view. You can hear her say, "Owwwww."
I walk faster down the path. I thought I could find someone who'd help.
Luckily I see Marisa walking down the road in my direction. I waved at her.
Marisa almost burst out laughing when she saw me, but she held it back to ask what the heck happened.
"I don't even know..." I answered, "but could you get her off?"
Marisa walks behind me, not to get her off, but just to look at Rumia's face. "She looks so cute when she's happy." Marisa said.
"You're not helping..."
"Okay then!" Marisa walks back in front of me, "I have a surefire way to get her off you!"
She tosses her mini hakkero in the air and catches it.
"MASTER SPA-"
"WAIT WAIT, DON'T DO THAT!" I interrupt.
"But it'll work!"
"I don't want to be burnt by a rainbow."
"Then I have another idea!"
Marisa playfully tugs at the amulet in Rumia's hair, instantly making me freak out, "DONT PULL THAT OFF!" I yell.
Marisa giggles, "I'm messing with you, maybe we could Reimu?"
"Can't you just pull her off?"
"With the way she's holding on to you, nope."
I sigh, "Well let's go then..."
Marisa's broom suddenly cuts through the bamboo and flies into her hand. "All righty! Hop on!"
She was floating on her broom, I thought we were going to walk, but this would be much faster. I 'hop on,' but awkwardly, no thanks to Rumia.
We shot out the bamboo forest, with such speed I wondered how g-forces didn't send me flying since I wasn't holding on to the broom at all. I stopped thinking about it since Rumia was shouting , "WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" the entire time.
Her voice is actually very loud, Marisa had her hat pulled over her ears.
When we arrived at the Hakurei shrine, Reimu was standing right outside her door, as if expecting us.
Marisa stops right in front of Reimu and hops off the broom. She gave me zero time to get off, so the broom shot out from under me. Luckily, my feet weren't so far from the ground that I couldn't land.
"Yo Reimu! How's it going?"
"It's going just as planned." she responds with a smug face.
Marisa backs away from her, "Ehhh, what is?"
Reimu stifles a laugh as she said, "Nothing, I was just coming up funny ways to respond to that question. That was my favorite. More importantly, why is Rumia on your back?" she asks, pointing at me.
"I wish I knew why...wouldn't she rather eat me than cling to me? This is starting to hurt my back..."
"We were actually hoping you could help get her off." Marisa explains.
Reimu sits down on the door step and grins, "Sure I could help!"
"Great, I really appreciate it-..." My voice trailed off as Reimu taps on her donation box, "Given that you have the money to pay for my help." She sneers.
I started sweating a bit, but I remembered that I did have money, so I put my hands in my pockets to fetch some coins.
Coins that spontaneously disappeared.
I look back at Rumia and see her eating MY money. She had just put the last of it in her mouth.
"DAMN IT RUMIA!"
Marisa starts laughing at us. I felt like I was a part of some comedy act, I'm getting laughed at all day.
Reimu however, wasn't laughing at all. She just gets up and walks back into the shrine saying, "Well it looks like I can't help you."
"WHAAAAAT!?!?" I yell.
"Wait Reimu!"
I turn around and see Meiling panting at the top of the stairs. Reimu backs out the shrine, "Is it about that cup Remi wanted?"
"Yeah she said she needs it now." Meiling says after taking a deep breath. As soon as she sees me she gasps, "RUMIA IS POSSESSING PEOPLE NOW!?"
"WHAT!? NO OF COURSE NOT!" I yell. Rumia just laughs loudly in my ear.
Marisa explains what's going on to Meiling. Once it was explained, Meiling strokes an invisible beard on her chin, "That makes much more sense..."
"By the way, did you run here?" Marisa asks.
"Yeah!" Meiling flexes a bit, "Gotta keep my endurance up!"
"I have the cup." Reimu says, walking back outside. The cup looked like soup bowl with a handle...
"Thanks Reimu, I'll get the money from Sakuya later."
of course she did this for profit...
"Oh wait!" I call after Meiling before she sprints down the stairs, "Maybe you can get Rumia off me?"
"Sure! No problem!" She says.
Suddenly she dashes at me and spear kicks me in the stomach. The blow actually went through me and knocked Rumia off me, but I still felt it.
I was kicked probably 6 meters away from Meiling, not sure where Rumia went though.
I hit the floor, in pain and dazed. I could hear Meiling, "Oops I think I kicked too hard, ahhh he'll recover. Gotta go!"
Moments later I was out cold.
Even more moments later, I wake up.
