Thomas' heart was beating fast as he laid down in bed. He still couldn't believe Mindy actually kissed him. No one ever wanted to kiss him before. The main reason was his face. He also couldn't believe she wanted to look at his face. Everyone always told him to cover his face so they didn't have to see it.
"I like your face, Tommy."
Thomas clutched his chest as he felt his heart race at the sound of her voice. He got a weird feeling in the pit of his stomach as he thought about Mindy's smiling face. Thomas started to get nervous. He never felt like this before. Was he starting to get sick or something? He crawled out of bed and went downstairs to the kitchen where Luda Mae was washing dished. He gently tugged on her dress to let her know he was there.
"Tommy?" she said. "What are you doing up? It's past your bedtime."
Thomas put his hands around his throat and made choking noises. Luda Mae knelt next to him.
"Are you sick?" she asked.
He nodded. She felt his forehead for a fever, but found nothing. He wasn't warm and he didn't feel cold.
"What's wrong?"
Thomas wrapped his arms around his stomach.
"You have a tummy ache?" Luda Mae asked.
He shook his head. He then put his hand over her heart and started tapping his chest to show his heart was beating fast.
"Did you eat anything bad?" Luda Mae asked.
Thomas shook his head. He took a pencil and a piece of paper from the counter and wrote.
Mindy
"What about Mindy?"
He pointed at her name and tapped his chest again. Luda Mae gasped as a tear came to her eye. She pulled Thomas closed and hugged him.
"Oh, Tommy! My precious boy! You're not sick, dear. What you're feeling, that means you're falling in love!"
Thomas looked at her confused. What was love?

Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Mindy laid in her bed as she slept soundly. Her parents were not happy to find out she skipped school because she was picked on by a group of boys. They appreciated Uncle Monty bringing her home so she could get some rest after Luda Mae bandaged her head.
When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Mindy sat with her back pressed against Thomas'. She sighed as she leaned back pressed her face into his back.
"Tommy, why did you protect me from Jesse?"
Thomas looked at her confused. Wasn't it obvious? He turned around to face her. Thomas was wearing another mask to hide his face. Mindy shook her head as she chuckled. She reached behind his head an untied his mask, taking it off.
When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream
Mindy ran her hands along his face. Her fingers lightly touched the imperfections by his mouth and nose. She leaned in and softly kissed the corner of his mouth by the dead skin. Thomas raised his hands and softly touched her face. Mindy gently tilted her head towards his hands. She loved his touch. Being with him made her happy. She felt like she could be herself around him.
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime, night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I'm dreaming' my life away
Thomas smiled as he opened his mouth. At first nothing but heavy breathing come out.
"I... l-love... you..."
I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream
