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.
