(Tara's POV)
I stood on the sidewalk with nothing but awkward feelings. I knew I was talking to Gui-Man but... OMG I was talking to Gui-Man! I met him in that weird dream I had before I was suddenly a member of SickPose. I knew now that I wasn't the only one who'd had that dream. Daft Punk did too.
-What happened?
Asked Gui hoping for an explanation of the dream. Before I could answer, A man in a leather jacket and sunglasses pulled up in his car.
-Oh thank god!
Said Gui with a sigh of relief
-Oh my god...
Says the man. I knew who it was from the moment he said Oh. Thomas took off his glasses and all I saw was Shock on his face ... and a beard! Daft Punk was back to their original age. But was I? I left my thoughts and I was suddenly in Thomas' arms.
-Ouf!
I almost lost balance when Thomas hugged me. He definitely had the dream too. Thomas let go of me, his long beard scratched my face a bit.
-Where have you been?
Questioned Thomas with enthusiasm, Holding my hands with content.
- I uh...
I stuttered. Where have I been? I was suddenly a part of SickPose and now I've met Daft Punk in person.
-It's ok, you can explain later. Gui, Thanks for calling me. We have some things to discuss... All of us.
Explained Thomas. Gui looked a bit confused but before he could say anything, Thomas took my hand and opened his car door as if to say to get in.
-Lets go.
Said Thomas. I didn't even need to think about whether I should've or shouldn't have gotten in. All I knew at that moment was that I wanted to. I opened the door and quickly got in the front seat. Thomas shut the door and walked around to the driver's side of the car. I did up my seat belt and noticed the smell of something burning. I tried to tell what the smell was so I took a big sniff of the air and quickly felt dizzy. I was loosing sight and neither Thomas or Gui were getting in the car.
I started to panic. I climbed over to the driver's seat and banged on the window.
-Help! -Help!
By that time, Gui had walked over to Thomas and they were talking. Thomas seemed angry. He was moving his hands violently, trying to talk him out of something. I tried to breath but I couldn't. I started hyperventilating and... All was black again.
I soon woke up in y own bed. This was all wrong...
-What?!
I asked myself outloud. I jumped out of my bed, wearing my warmest pair of Pj's. I was so confused. I tore open my curtains and it was snowing outside. A tear fell from my eye. I didn't mean to start crying, I just wanted to be back with Thomas and Gui.. even if they did almost kidnapp me. Oh god who was I kidding... It HAD to be a giant dream all this time. I pinched myself and I definitely felt it. I slowly opened my bedroom door so that I could walk out miserably. My mom was standing at the end of the hallway with a smile on her face. I held my head as I felt a headache coming on. I hadn't felt like this in a while. Relatively groggy, I could see that she was holding something, But I couldn't see what.
-This is for you
she said, holding out the paper as I walked towards her. I rub my eyes so that I can see clearly. The white paper she was holding was actually an envelope.
-It's from someone special
said my mom holding her cup of coffee in the other hand. I weakly grab the envelope from her hand.
-Is that it?
I ask. My stomach is killing me with hunger.
-Wha... open it!
said my mom.
-But I'm hungry...
I reply.My mom looks at me skeptically. She takes a big sigh.
-It's not from your grandmother
She said. I look up at her with confusion. I turn over the envelope to see the address and stamp. Everything looks normal, all but the silver sticker next to the address that says Virgin I die inside a little.
-Mom what is this?
I say to her.
-Open it!
She says. She walks away down the hallway with her coffee. I head back to my room and load up my discovery album on my cd player. One more time plays out loud as I rip open the album. The letter inside is silver and the writing, gold. I start reading it aloud.
