Dreams
Set in Sheet Harbour, the small town where I grew up. A former classmate and I pull into the motel (popular lunch spot) which also has a garage for some reason (it doesn't in real life). It's understood that we're in Sheet Harbour for some nefarious purpose. A guy starts chatting us up about whether we're going to the Bowlathon (the town no longer has a bowling alley, but they used to). I'm trying to be friendly but also trying to rebuff his clearly romantic intentions. At some point he gets really annoyed with us. I bust out my superpowers and levitate the car (why I thought this was a good idea, is entirely unclear to me now. Maybe I was trying to fly away). Then, totally unexpectedly, he busts out some super powers - turns out he controls wind, and is going to blow us right into the harbour. We're doomed. I pull out the last trick I have left and take us back in time to before we pissed him off. However I over-shoot and we're now two weeks in the past. We haven't packed enough for a two-week long stay, we're worried about being seen, and about running into our other selves. Despite this we try to investigate Nancy-Drew style to find out what wind-dude is really up to. It's some kind of international plot involving the pope and two creepy dudes from the gas station. Also, we almost run over some pedestrians who were having some kind of festival in the middle of the road.
Cut to returning to the area with mr_pugh. He's driving us in some big black SUV. We take a road that should go to one location, but instead cuts off abruptly and drops about 20 feet into a swamp with some kind of baby koala-like thing that can speak english. mr_pugh plays with the baby koala thing, which, of course, thinks he's lovely. I'm worried about how to get us out, and whether the mama-koala-thing is around. Then a guy shows up and tells us it's private property. I end up levitating the SUV and getting it back on the road, which totally ruins the purpose of flying under the radar in order to solve the mystery, and outs me as having superpowers once again. All very weird.
Morel of the story: As much as I talk about wanting to move home, apparently I don't want them to know about any of my talents, get to know me at all, or include me in their social events. Also, my subconscious clearly suspects them of being evil and dangerous.
