14 Pencils

I'm at the beach. We're worried about tsunamis only not really. Like on a message board, you can see a list of people who are there. Josh is around, but I can't find him. My mother is there, but I don't want to spend time with her. Arthur Su, who I went to high school with, is there, talking to a girl about her senior thesis. We're on a beach that looks like the tunnel at school. I keep swimming deep down and being able to breathe under water. Every time I surface I hear Arthur complaining about me. I swim away. There is a book shelf just above the water with several books in it.

I'm talking to Adair and Mitchel who is Sirius and George who is Remus, and I am Annie except I'm myself, and I need to shapeshift. Sammie comes in along with Adair, and we discuss how we'd like to know what people who haven't read the books feel about Harry Potter. She puts on an orange wig because she's got cancer and is Molly Weasley.

On the beach the waves start coming in. And then they stop. Hundreds of boxes from WB Mason appear on the water, coming in and in. We open the boxes and they're filled with pencils. More and more pencils. And we start to panic.

13 Workaholic

I was at CVS looking for something. By the counter I saw watch straps. The people working at CVS were the workers at TDR usually. They kept laughing raucously. I asked for an application. I was at the CVS down the road from home, but when I left, I was heading towards McDowell. I needed to get to work. At the desk, Nadia came in and told me Kyle (from Theatre Ink) had quit and would I take the hours at Nebraska. I said I would happily. I was walking away when I realized I hadn't signed in. Danielle/Carly was trying to sign in. There was a sheet tapped over the formal log which made it easier to sign it. I did and then left. I had to walk up between CVS and Sweet Tomatos where I passed Hughes staff of which only Sydney said hello to me. I was going to be late.

12 Almost Flying

We were at a dive bar. It was me, Kat, and some odd mixture of girl!Sam, Lindsay, and Esther. Anyways, we were avoiding this person. Kat got to chatting to the bartender, who's name was Ellie, and somehow I ended up having her phone, which looked suspiciously like the duty phone. I kept on picking up kebab sticks as people left them. At three am we left.

We went back to my house to watch a movie. I lost on of my shoes. Kat told me that when we went to my house I was going to have to pack my slippers. girl!Sam turned into my mother, who got mad at me for having Ellie's phone. Clif showed up and was interested in eating grilled cheese with me. My dad offered to drive me back to where Ellie was to return her phone.

She kept getting calls from places and my mother would pick up the phone instead of me. We got in the volvo, but had to get the bug from someone else's house on Waltham st. My dad parked the volvo in the middle of the street and kept on failing to get the bug out of the driveway, so that when he finally did and we started to drive away, he forgot to move to the volvo. We were at Franklin at this point, which is where college suddenly was instead of elementary school. I offered to run back to get it.

I ran in slow motion, but with greater speed and less exhaustion then if I were to run normally. I kept bouncing up and almost flying through the air.

When I got back to where the volvo was supposed to be, it had been towed.

11 In the theater

I was in the Sports Night studio and we were outside by this giant lake. Rowan Atkinson was going to come around the bend and act like Mr. Bean, which upset me for some reason, but I was supposed to walk past him for the cameras without turning around. However when Dana shouted action, I put my finger on my lip and said something about mustchaches, and Rowan Atkinson said something awfully dry and witty and I cracked up. I knew it was bad to waste tape, but for some reason I couldn't stop myself.

I got fired, and was heading back into the theater, which was giant and blue and not one I recognized. They were doing A Street Car Named Desire. Zach Narva and Jake Baker were there and were friends again, and we talked about why I was getting fired. I thought it was bullshit and had already elected to get back in good with Dana so I could work on the show again.

The door near the booth was locked, so I kept trying to get downstairs to get backstage but unfortunately none of the actors knew who I was, so I kept failing. Then I decided to pretend to need to use the bathroom and ended up in a food court. There was a girl there with frizzy brown hair. A vending machine had broken and we could get all the food out of it. We fought over getting the caffeine free and normal diet lime coke. She was pregnant but wanted the one with caffeine.

Then we got on to the fruits and vegetables because it was a super market. The lights went on and off, and the show was about to start and I realized I was going to be late, so I ran off and down some stairs and was in Leonard... but Leonard inverted. It was the New North, but it was Residence Halls, and I was the RA of the 8th floor. People were running across books in the longue, and The Doctor (10) was there. He was my new RD. He was training my girls.

There was a kid, called David, who goes to my school and is not autistic, but here he was, and he got really attached to one of the books that people were running on and tried to take it away, but I had to keep it in its place.

We wandered into the hall and someone had called me Rachel, and I was really annoyed. I went back into the longue to find a girl who was sitting by the window, and when I asked her how she was she freaked out.

I was late for the show so I ran downstairs and back into the theater and the Doctor followed me and informed me that the girl in the longue was special and I had to look after her. I had to go back up stiars and she was sitting in her room and she had made a balloon and in it were plastic figurines of the Doctor and Jack, and she had lit the little candle so the balloon was going up, but the plastic faces were melting. The Doctor was there, and the balloon was going to the fire alarm, so he grabbed it and put it out of the air, and put it in the tree outside her window where there was a bird.

And the girl said her problem was that sometimes she was a bird, and then she was gone.
