Yes, I'm fine? What's going on? Are you okay? Did you find out stuff from the dream-guy?

I'm okay - don't know about Billy. No idea if he was even there. I'm going give him a ring this morning before school.

Sorry if I woke you up or anything.

You didn't wake me up, I had to get up for school, um...what's going on? I got a text from Joshua too, asking me the same thing. Something happened, didn't it?

Dean opened the message as soon as it arrived - he'd been sitting waiting for her to reply, after all. He read it and shit. He couldn't tell her - how do you tell someone something like that? That you'd seen them in your dream - that they were dead. And in a dream that wasn't just a dream? He needed to call Billy, whether the guy was awake or not. But first he had to answer Thia - which took a long time as he stared at the screen, wondering what the hell he was going to write.

It's nothing, really - they're just dreams. Take care of yourself today - I'll see you at school.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm not that dumb, Dean. I'll see you there, definitely, but I wanna talk about this, please don't avoid me. You take care too. And I'll be here for a little bit longer, if you wanna email me back.

Dean read the message and sighed as he listened to the phone ring. And ring. And ring. He hung up, irritated. He'd have to call the guy later.

I don't think you're stupid. Or dumb, or whatever. But they are just dreams.

I can't get through to the dream guy - I'll phone him later.

I won't avoid you - lunch? Same place?

She was being lied to. Kinda all over, and she didn't know what was happening. Just that she figured that whatever it was, it was bad. She didn't think that Joshua or Dean were really prone to it usually. She wouldn't expect it of them. They must be trying to protect her.

Lunch, same place. I'll see you then.
