Barrow-Down Dreams

[Thinlómien]

Well, I had a rather weird dream too. I was spending time at my grandparents' with my mum and Greenie. I found out my mother had bought a small package of some kind of batteries called "throb in". The logo, however, was really unclear so I first read "th robin" and I thought "Laurinquë!" immediately and lo! that summoned her and TGEW right into my grandparents' kitchen. They had been touring Europe and planning to visit Finland too, but Helsinki instead of some random countryside house near the eastern border. I apologised to them that there weren't any sights or nice places around, but they weren't too sad.

Followed an episode of me trying to find them beds because the house was crowded with visitors already. Greenie and our cousin (who is actually the same age as Lauri ) didn't quite approve of my arrangements, because I made our girls' bedroom quite crowded with taking two more people in and I made Greenie sleep in a smaller bed than before because TGEW was taller than her. In the end, we fit in relatively comfortably and I was just hoping TGEW and Lauri wouldn't get traumathised by the slightly crowded and weird lodgings.

Then, we weren't in my grandparents' house anymore, but some random high school. Laurinquë - whose hair was now blue - was looking very distressed. She was sitting in the school canteen with a guy who obviously had feelings for her. "So you like someone else?" the guy demanded. "Yes," Lauri admitted in a small voice. "I like Sam." "Sam? Is that a guy or girl?" the guy asked. Lauri didn't answer, so the guy's face started turning slightly red. "So you like girls? You were cheating me all along!" Lauri looked as if she was in the brink of crying and she just stood up abruptly. "Hey, everybody, Lauri here likes other girls!" the guy shouted. Some heads were turned. Lauri fleed and the guy followed, shouting "she likes girls! she likes girls!". Lauri ran upstairs and the jerk kept chasing her.

I was hanging around there at the end of the staircase and saw the situation. I decided to help Lauri and - don't ask how - we decided to lock the guy in a toilet. We forced him in and tried to close the door but he put his fingers between the door and the door frame - his bad, he was soon howling in agony. We opened the door just enough so that he could snatch his hand free and then closed it firmly and locked it. "Keep him there at least for an hour, preferably longer," I told Lauri in a very serious voice. Lauri nodded and smiled and we went for tea in a nearby café.

Mes apologies, I have no idea where that all came from.
