Because of the game Bully, I dreamed that I had left my bike at the mall. I took my truck to the mall to go pick it up, but the mall had just closed. I sweettalked the ladies just inside the door to let me come in and get my bike. While I was in there I thought maybe I owed it to the lady who ran the kiosk bookstore to buy something, so I asked if she had anything new by Stephanie Meyer (dummmmmmb) but while she had novels about vampires, Stephanie Meyer had not written a new book for the Twilight series. I couldn't decided what to purchase and thought I might just grab a book at random, since I had to buy something to show my appreciation!

I loaded my bike into my truck and drove into town (I don't know which town, but I think it was a little country town). Night turned into day and I came upon the site where people were setting up for a parade. I got out my bike and hopped on it only to see there was a huge gash out of the front tire, which was now clearly flat and useless. I got out my phone to look up a good place to buy a bike tire. As I was waiting for my phone to load, I looked over and saw a van set up as a mobile shop with sports equipment. There was an older gentleman working in the van and I went over to ask him where the best place would be to get a bike tire. As I was asking him this, my bike turned into a water bottle and I could no longer figure out why I was asking for a place to buy a bike tire!

The older gentleman started walking with me and we came to my parents' house. We went right up to the third floor to my bedroom which was filled with oversized books. One in particular which he was showing me was about sea creatures and such. I felt like he had talked to me about this subject before and I felt bad for not remembering more about it. My dad started coming up the stairs and the older gentleman walked out of my room.

As my dad reached the top of the stairs, I saw Charlie pulling at a pair of pants my dad was using as a dog toy. I reprimanded him for using clothing as a dog toy, which would only encourage the dogs to chew up people's clothes. My dad was sheepish about it but didn't stop. He continued as Charlie pulled him through my room. I walked around the third floor hallway to the back corner and was laying on the ground when my dad came out the door from the back room with Charlie.

I wandered downstairs and was suddenly sneaking into a secret passage that went underground. I knew I was being followed by someone (I think I knew it was Eric Shaeffer) and wanted to stay out of sight. I jumped up onto some stairs and was trying to pull myself through a doorway I had never seen before. I couldn't get my foot out of the lower hallway without much effort. I worried that Eric might have seen my foot! After getting my foot through the door, I continued sneaking up and found myself in Calvin's second, rarely used, chapel. I was super excited about having found a secret way in and was contemplating creating a Phantom-of-the-Opera-type persona by coming in when the building is locked and playing the organ and all hours of the night.

I was crawling on the floor in the dark toward a stage and saw something move on the ground. I thought it might be a dust bunny but kept watching it. It moved again, and it was actually a real bunny!

I turned back to the stage and saw someone move. Then I saw someone else move! Then the lights came up and a song and dance number began! One person was dressed as a statue with one large Mickey-Mouse-type glove on his left hand. Then I saw that the lead role was played by Meredith Bytwerk, who was a friend of mine while I was at Calvin. I couldn't see how she was still attending Calvin. Either she was still a student after 7 years so that she could continue to have roles in the theatre company, or she had gone back to Calvin to work in the Theatre department so that she could continue to take roles in the productions!

She was dancing and singing as she came out closer and closer to me. Then she was startled and looked over my head past where I was laying secretively on the ground and said, "Eric Shaeffer!? What are you doing here??" (Let's keep in mind that there's no way Meredith would know Eric) Apparently Eric was sitting in the chair next to where I was hiding and I had not escaped his pursuit as I'd thought I had. Then he pointed down to me so that Meredith saw me, too, and she was doubly shocked.

The end.
