I was invited to a party with Cookie. There were a lot of people and it was late and ending so everyone was going home. Cookie was driving a big van. I wanted to stay with him so I ran to the van, but someone was already sitting at the passenger seats and it was full. He didn't tell me he was leaving already and I went to a lone area of the parking lot, where many others were waiting for a ride, and slumped on the floor and cried for being left behind. A friend from middle school, Gilda, came over to try and cheer me up and pulled me off the floor. She put my head on her lap and ran her fingers through my long hair. Soon more people came to us too and offered snacks. I offered a bag of prawn chips to Gilda and soon she ran off. I didn't realize they were spicy. She ran into a small kitchen since the parking lot became an apartment space. She threw up in the sink and I chased after her to see if she was alright. We went back to the spot we were sitting in. Gingerbread came out and told everyone that Amaretti was back from his trip home, like we were in university. He said now was the opportune time to play pranks on him, at 1-2 am. He lay face down on his mattress and Gingerbread came in, throwing my stuffed Pikachu down at him. He also came out with a pink bra and threw it at him. I ran and took the bra from him, then tossed it in my room once I realized it wasn't one of mine.

Shortbread and I were on a school trip together. Our school booked buses for us and the station resembled an airport. There were stores and restaurants set up around with cream, shiny wall and floor tiles. There was a wonderful sense of freedom and independence. We walked and chatted as we made our way to our bus' location, like we were flight stewardesses from an important airline.

It was a sunny day. I was at my cousin's fiance's house for a small celebration before the wedding. It was in a vast, grassy field in his fenceless backyard with tall trees swaying in the cool, gentle breeze. Everyone was gathered in a small corner of the lot, on the interlocked area, to pray for the groom. A guest entered late with a lighter in hand. They had an intention to kill someone in the crowd. I didn't see them, but I saw their hand flip open a silver lighter, ignite it, and as he tossed it to the ground, the groom saw this and yelled, "nooo!" Instantly, the ground was engulfed in flames, as if all were dowsed in gasoline, and standing by the killer, I died in a quick death, burning up into ash. Everything went from green, to red, an intense yellow, then white. (I woke up by a cold chill that creeped up my spine, and in cold sweat- my indication for nightmares if my fear wasn't great enough to register). There was a feeling in between the stage of burning and waking up- it wasn't pleasant, peaceful or painless; it was neither physical or emotional pain (such as the heart 'hurts' during heartbreak). I felt a miniscule bit of dread in seeing the lighter drop- a bad feeling.

I don't remember this one well, but I was doing something at an outdoor place, in a garden area with high hedges. A black woman watched me from a table. She was seated and taking notes in her little notepad, evaluating me. I was nervous, as I knew she was the health inspector.

I was in some kind of cosplay event, one where we fought as if we were in a fighting game. I can't remember who I was dressed as, but I carried a sword. The matches were from video games or shows that were made into a video game at least once. One of the matches I remember had a ghostbuster and another had Minnie Mouse (since Mickey wasn't present).

I was with my family and we headed to our car; my mom got into the driver's seat. I was a little late getting on, so when everyone was already inside with the doors closed, my mom turned the engine on and began to drive. I had already reached the vehicle's door and opened it wide. I yelled for her to stop and she stopped abruptly. When I had climbed in, I commented she almost forgot me, but without turning around and in a voice full of anger, she said, "I meant to."

Shortbread and I went to the same university. One of our classes together was having some sort of party, so we got food ready for our class. I brought a watermelon with me and a knife and ran outside because Shortbread as waiting for me at our bus stop. There were many other kids there waiting with us. I checked the watermelon I brought, inspecting the crack from when I rushed out my door. I chopped it up and when I sheathed my knife, I noticed it broke in two. I took the knife and ran back to my house's lawn, hiding it in the grass. When I turned back, the bus had come and kids were piling in while Shortbread waited for me. The bus driver saw me and waited a bit, but when I saw Shortbread  run to it's doors, I slowed down and the bus sped off. The driver couldn't see Shortbread. We decided to wait for the transit to come. A group of children with yellow post-its gathered on the street waiting for their bus. They were in elementary school and we asked to hitch a ride with them, but the children said they'd tattle on us. I looked at their post-its carefully. They said "Bus Pass Mandatory" written in blue pen; we could easily forge some for ourselves. The bus came for them, so we left them alone. We lay on the grass waiting and our bus finally came. We loaded on and when we arrived at school, we checked the time. We missed our first and second classes and now it was in the middle of our third. We took a seat at a small outdoor cafe and saw our Victorian friends there. we offered watermelon to them and they ate happily with us, spitting seeds onto the ground. They were John Watson (Jude Law) from The Sherlock Holmes movie, Astrid (The TARDIS in human form) from Doctor Who, and another person who I don't know.
