Days for Dreaming

Last night was the second in a row that was full of oddly vivid dreams. I'm still trying to figure out what, if anything, they mean.

Dream 1:

I walked into Spanish class, late, per usual. Gretchen was already there. There were laptops from the cows on all of the desks, and Tom sat behind me in Rae's desk, which I find strange, since I'd never noticed that he was in our class. I shrugged it off and logged into facebook on my laptop (which should have tipped me off that this was a dream, but, alas, it did not). I went to Tom's page, because I couldn't figure out why he had spontaneously showed up in my Spanish class. I started flipping through his profile pictures, and for some reason, I had the ability to change which photo was his profile picture, so I did. Then Gretchen started coughing violently and gesturing towards Tom, who could see over my shoulder at my screen and had turned bright red. I turned around to apologize, and his eyes got all huge and he looked the way he did in fifth grade that time he told my my braces looked nice, which is really the only old memory I have of him. The bell rang and Gretchen and I left class. I was still flipping out about what Tom thought of me.

I went up to physics on the third floor. The only faces I can remember are those of Tybalt, Genevieve (British, not in my physics class or any A.P. English) and Leda (in my gov class, used to be going to counties with Sergio but now has a boyfriend). Right before class ended, Tybalt kissed Leda and then confessed to having a massive crush on Genevieve.

We left class, and Tybalt, Gretchen and I were suddenly walking out of the cafeteria into the music wing. We all realized that we were going to miss our buses. Tybalt and Gretchen took off, speed demons that they are, and I tried to keep up, but these large crowds of Players and Orphenians, fully costumed, kept getting in my way. By the time I reached the orchestra room, Tybalt was long gone, and Gretchen had emerged out of the farther door and taken off running. By the time I reached the front entrance, I was the only one there, and the buses were gone.

End Dream 1.

Dream 2 is weirder. Much, much weirder. I promise you, it is nowhere near as inappropriate as the beginning makes it sound.

Dream 2:

Harry and I were both doing pit orchestra for Little Shop of Horrors, and for some reason still unknown to me, this entailed him staying in my room. I woke up in the morning and he was in the other bed and I started flipping out because I thought that I'd forgotten and gone to sleep naked for some reason. I stood up out of bed, panicked, but discovered that I was wearing cute green pj pants and a blue tank. However, the tank was kind of see through, so I decided I needed a different one. A newer, brighter blue tank top with conveniently built in bra was located on the foot of my bed, where I had presumably dumped it at some earlier time. After I took off the first tank top to swap, I looked into the TV on wheels like they had at the middle school that had been set up where my keyboard usually lives. I could say Harry reflected in it, standing behind me, frozen in place and staring at my reflection in the TV. He had slept in the same clothes that he always wears, a white t-shirt and somewhat too-short cargo pants. He decided that if I was changing, he should to, and by the time I had my arms lined up in the second tank, he'd swapped from a plain white t-shirt to one with these blueish glowing peacock feathers on it.

As I was putting on the second tank top, it turned into a dress and I got stuck, the entire skirt of the dress facing upside down around my head like a pathetically limp dog cone. I attempted to maneuver myself into it, but was unsuccessful. "Harry? Could you, uh, help?" I asked.

"Yeah, sure," he said, and pulled the tank down over my arms and torso. He didn't let go of my wrists. I looked up at him, confused, and his eyes had gone all brownish greenish, and they were swirling in a weirdly hypnotic manner. He said something unintelligible, containing the phrases "can't let go," "God," "Jesus," and something about loving arm muscles, which is absurd, because I hardly even have arm muscles. He started to back away, still clinging to me, and I followed him, entranced. He stopped after a step and leaned forward, closer and closer. When we were about two inches apart, I leaned forward and kissed him, a sloppy sort of first kiss in which all that happens are squished noses and lips pressed together, and for some reason I could feel the imprint of my braces on the inside of my lips, which is absurd, since I haven't had braces in years. I pulled back after an instant, and his eyes had turned pale blue and he looked like he was about to pass out. "Was that nice?" he asked.

"I don't know yet," I answered, and the entire dream shifted. Harry was gone, but I was still standing in my room, and I knew, somehow, that he would be back, and that I just had to kiss him again and we'd get further than that stupid clashing of metal on teeth. I opened the door and walked down the hall to the basement. There was a window that doesn't actually exist, and through it I could see Corbin Bleu's hair as he walked through the jungle that had sprung up behind my house. I had an abrupt fear that the Harry here had turned into Zac Efron, and I was very worried. I decided that I'd have to wait and see and I walked down the stairs. Sparky (Aqua's dog) and Rufus came running up the stairs as I descended. Purdy (she advised Becky to temporarily break up with her boyfriend to show him what was important) was down there. I asked her what I should do about Harry, she said she'd get back to me later, since she had an appointment.

Elaine (Julie's friend who is fond of lolita dresses) came down with a girl who was about ten years old; I assumed the girl was her daughter. The daughter and I tried to play chess, but none of the pieces were actual pieces, so I decided to transfigure them and pulled out my wand to do so. I tapped each in turn, but the bishops stubbornly refused to do anything, and the pawns remained little pieces of trash.

I woke up in a cold sweat, the only thought in my head that I had to find Harry.

A.P. Assassination

Well, it's a good thing that Nyx and I didn't go for a spontaneous walk on the beach last night, because there was some creeping going on on my street. Clark, in my music theory class, was assigned to kill Aqua, my neighbor.

His first attempt was yesterday afternoon. He hid in her yard, but could only see legs and feet clearly. He saw someone in a white skirt walking down the driveway. When they began skipping, he jumped out and shot, certain that nobody but a teenager would skip. However, the skipper in question turned out to be Fae, Aqua's mother. She was terrified at first, but after she realize that it was someone in A.P. assassination, she calmed down, and politely asked Clark to come back when Aqua would be home, at such and such a time.

Clark's next plan was to surprise her in the morning, before she went to school. He drove down at two or three in the morning and climbed into what he thought was Aqua's car, which was unlocked. He fell asleep after a while, and finally woke up when Fae and the dog climbed into the car. "Oh!" she said, upon seeing Kevin. "It's wonderful how you're trying so hard, but Aqua uses that car."

Despite her help, however, Clark did not succeed in killing Aqua. She made it to her car without being shot, then saw him.
"Hi Clark."
"Hey."
"You trying to shoot me?"
"Yeah."
"Well, you're a lot more into this than I am. You can just shoot me, if you want."
"Seriously?"
"Yeah."
So, Clark was the first person in this round to assassinate his target.

To complete this post, I leave you with another Spanish translation, this one of Harry Potter, who is played by Natalie. Avon is Hermione (of course), and I am the narrator and Draco.

Narrator (N): This year, the school Hogwarts, of magic and spell making, will have a championship between the four houses. It will not be like a quidditch competition, with seekers and chasers. Instead, the students will use enchantments and magic.
Harry (HP): Hermione, please, help me! I don't know how to prepare a solution for shrinking and I need to make it for the competition
Hermione (H): ¡Ay ay ay Harry, why did you not learn how to prepare a solution for shrinking in the class of potions? This magical solution is very easy.
Draca (D): I don't need the help of a girl who has dirty blood because I have the help of a phenomenal professor of Potions that is called Professor Snape.
H: Leave, Draco! Harry, you only will need a part of a magical creature, like a unicorn, and the feather of a big bird.
HP: I already bought the feather of a special bird when I went to the Flowing Cauldron the previous week. But I have a foot of a giant spider in place of unicorn.
D: With my magic wand and the correct ingredients of a solution of shrinking, I'm going to win this competition of magic.
H: The magic of Harry is stronger than the magic of you, Draco.
HP: Yes, I am going to practice my magic and I will win this magical competition.
N: Then, Hermione and Harry go to the Flowing Cauldron, but Draco follows.
HP: ¡Look, Hermione, delicious frogs of chocolate! I want to buy them.
D: I saw that Harry bought the frogs of chocolate, and I went to the store of articles of pranks. I bought something I could use to pull a prank. We will see who has the strongest magical abilities in the competition tomorrow. I'm sure that I will win against Harry Potter.

(Draco leaves)

H: I think that Draco will use the Dark Arts in the competition.
HP: I know some counterspells that can protect me against the Dark Arts of Draco. Don't worry yourself.
H: You need to practice for the tournament, Harry. Gryffindor is not going to win without you. Obtain your cape of invisibility and we can visit Hagrid in order to learn about the magical creatures that you will fight in the competition.

(The two leave and Draco enters)

D: ¡Harry Potter no would not compete in the tournament if he were to eat his frogs of chocolate!

HP: I have hunger, but I also have the championship in few minutes. What can I do?
H: Here, Harry. Eat the frogs of chocolate.
HP: Thanks, Hermione.
N: Harry took a bite of the frog of chocolate.
HP: AAAhhhh! My teeth, my teeth! I hurt my teeth and I have a magical ailment!
H: The frog has turned into a rock! I need to make a spell in order to repair your mouth.
*reparo*
HP: I feel well. Now, I can compete in the competition.
-The End-
