Paul Newman and A Way Back Home

Chapter 13

After the lovely proposal at The Dingo, we all went our separate ways, pretty much happy again.

Two-Bit and I cuddled and watched some Mickey before we fell asleep, ignoring and avoiding the subject of the past, present, and future.

"I love you, no matter what. Good night, Minnie Mouse."

"I love you more. 'Night, Mickey!"

My dream started out very, very, strange. I felt like I was being hypnotized.

It's just a weird dream, I thought. Go back to sleep.

I started falling back asleep, seeing tons of colors spiraling in my head, and a strange, echoing sound, kind of like what the universe would sound like, or something.

I opened my eyes to see Two not by my side anymore. I figured he already got up, and I just slept in due to a deep sleep. But to my surprise, the surroundings were much different. I felt like I was...

"We're from a whole new different world, really."

Something inside me made me realize that I was at home, but not the one that I truly belonged in.
