Ohhh~ Oh, what a complete joy~ I woke up from laughing so hard I fell over in my dream~
I apparently went to a tour of a factory/meeting with a bigshot/team exercise thing with Lucy and someone who was kinda fuzzy in the way dream people often are, shifting between Tim and a young Sherlock at intervals(I see what you did there dream), but who shifted to be Sherlock at some point. Who he is doesn't really play much of a part. NBD. Just a part of my posse. *shrug* Anyway, my Ravenclaws and I rode down a long corridor in a tram, like at Disney, and then filed into a huge room which was mostly concrete-and-metal gray and had four large round tables with about ten chairs each. A middle aged man was standing at the front and was meeting a small group of 20-somethings, being introduced, and seeming very uninterested in the whole thing. We went up and made ourselves a part of the greeting semi-circle: four random people who were giving me a glare and whispering, Sherlock-Bufferzone-Holmes, little-ol'-me, then Lucy-Whom-This-Trip-Was-Apparently-Mainly-For in front of bored leader dude and some dude with a checklist and a clipboard.
I got kind of flustered, and bowed when I was introduced, but that made leader dude crack a smile. We went to a middle table and I saw Ashley. Oh no. How am I going to avoid her to stop her from feeling bad?! Oh. Well. Ashy's small-time worries now. Joe's walking in. The whisper troop sat at our table, and then Joe sat a seat down from Lu. I pulled her chair to touch mine and she held my hand, which I'm pretty sure was sweating even in the dream, while tall-ass Sherlock-no-Tim-no-Sherlock tucked my shoulder under his arm in a one-armed hug thing that hid me from view, mostly: Ravenclaw Support Team- 2, League of Evil Exes- 0.
Once the tables were filled, we knew we were going to have to choose teams, which were going to do "challenges" together, and wear a sweatshirt in one of four colors for team unity. A box with dark blue shirts was plunked on our table, but when I muttered that I wish we had gotten the pretty jewel-green shirts, the leader dude turned out to be indulgent with soft spot for whiny cry babies, and shifted the boxes to give us green~ Yay~ Sher and Lu were unimpressed.
There was some milling around to fill in teams and Ash wandered over when I was going to have to shake Joe-Now-In-Green's hand and bodily blocked him, holding out both hands for a hug instead. I beamed and gladly hugged her(even dream-me misses her) and handed her a shirt. She's always hated Joe. I've always been spread between them fairly equally. Now I had both of my best friends' hands, a girl on both arms wow gosh, and Sherlock standing behind me with hands on my shoulders. Joe came over and held out his hand again and this time I shook it with a smile. Ash and Joe walked off with the rest of our team and some of red, yellow, and blue, as everyone went down a new hallway in the back. I got a silently supportive sandwich hug from Lu in front and Timlock in back and started to giggle and cry. Invincible. I felt deliriously happy; almost drunk. Whisper Bitches in red muttered that the leader dude had already assigned me points, and I smiled at them beatifically. That's right, ladies. Sticks and stones. I am unbeatable.
We three trotted down the hallway and I apparently fell behind and had to catch up to the Ravenclaws?? so I took off at a run, laughing like a loon, past randomly colored people until I came to a small set of stairs where they were standing and talking with AshnJoe and five random but friendly looking green people. I fell down at the bottom of the stairs, right at Lucy's feet and leaning against her, giggling my fool head off and looking up at Lu who patted my head. Then I woke up. Best Dream Ever. I woke up smiling and feeling like I had actually resolved something in the real world. Blissful. I want to read Chaucer and arrange flowers and bake a cake with chocolate icing. =w=~~~~~~~
