Time after Time

[[APB]]

OOC, why the hell not? I mean everybody else is having Time titled threads.

Rainbows and Unicorns, and pink fluffy clouds. Allen "Portal" Bartsch looks around and sighs.

"Christ. Not again."

Allen "Portal" Bartsch slowly walks towards a door in the clouds. It obviously says Exit only. APB glares at it.

"Tell me the fuck what to do."

APB smashes the door. He walks into a room. Pink Fluffy kittens roll around in the pink fluffy clouds. A dark skull appears over APB's head.

"I don't have time for this shit."

APB kicks a kitten. It goes flying off and hits a wall. It sticks to the wall and starts purring.

"God damn it. I SAID, no time for this shit."

APB stands there. Anger boiling off him in dark clouds. The kittens swarm around him and begin crawling all over him.

"Let's GET THIS OVER WITH!"

One of the kittens looks at him.

"Allen, you need to stay in your happy place. Stay in your happy place."

The scene slowly begins fading into an office. APB is sitting on a couch eyes closed.

"I NEVER SAID this was my happy place? What the hell IS this?"

The shrink looks at APB.

"Mr. Bartsch. I have no idea what you are talking about. Whatever happy place you are picturing, you came up with yourself."

APB opens his eyes. And looks at the Shrink.

"Like hell. Let's start over."

The shrink takes a deep breath. She starts over.

"Close your eyes."

APB closes his eyes.

"Take a deep breath."

APB breathes deep.

"Now picture clouds. You are......"

APB speaks up.

"Not clouds this time."

The Shrink re-starts.

"Picture a place that makes you happy. Picture a place where you feel safe."

APB breathes deep. This time he's standing in the center of a wrestling ring.

"Now, picture your fears. Picture yourself overcoming them."

APB pictures losing. He pictures being beat. But most of all he pictures being forgotten. He pictures not being remembered. The ring becomes a dark scary place.

"Now, picture your way out of this. Picture yourself overcoming your fears."

APB pictures himself beating various people up. He pictures himself climbing up the rankings. Blood runs over his hands. He smiles.

"Now, wake up. Are you ready to take the steps? Are you ready to step up?"

APB smiles. He stands up and looks at the Doctor.

"Wow Doc. That was great. I'm fired up. I'm ready to get back on track. Xianlong won't know what hit him."

The Shrink smiles.

"Good, Good, now about my bill?"

APB smiles.

"You'll get my money, when the results speak for themselves."

APB walks out of the room, once he closes the door, he reaches down and pets a Pink Fluffy Cat.

"Xianlong won't know what hit him."
