TENCHI MUYO: Spirit of the Radio
--------------------------------
 
 
    Sasami moaned restlessly in her sleep as she dreamed in strange images
of goddesses and rats. The dream had come upon her three times that week
and always it was the same, she was sleeping against something soft and 
furry and then would wake to find herself lying upon a dead rodentine figure.
She would scream within the dream and begin to run, finding herself in 
darkness. Then, she would run into the arms of a beautiful goddess and she
would feel safe at first. But then the goddess would laugh; always the same
hideous, mirthless laughter. Sasami would become frightened and try to get
away, but the goddess would hold her firmly and would not let go. Finally,
she would break free and run again, towards a spectral image that awaited
her. It was the same rodentine figure as before, only this time she wasn't
afraid of him and she would invariably run toward him. The dream always
ended with the rodentine figure firing an energy blast of some kind, but
Sasami could never tell if it was meant to hit the goddess or herself.
    Ayeka woke Sasami. "What's wrong?"
    "I had that dream again." Sasami replied. "The one about the rat."
    "It's all right, Sasami." Ayeka said.
    But she wasn't so sure...
