When all else fails

Chapter 3

     I woke up in the morning after the strangest of dreams. Not only was I being cared for like a baby, but I was a girl as well. I decided I was going to take the day and relax, and do some more research and try to wrap my head around the dream I woke up from.

     As I sat up in bed I glanced across the room seeing the other bed made neatly and no one in it. Thinking to myself well I guess he decided to get an early start. I climb out of bed and gather a set of clothes for the day along with my shower caddy. I walk down the hall and slide into the communal shower, slide into a stall, close the curtain, and undress. I start the water and let the warmth just wash over me as I finish waking up.

     As I scrub down a few people come in and out, but no one says a thing. I rinse off, shut down the water, and quickly dry off. I step out and dressing fairly quickly as a fellow classmate comes in. We casually say good morning to each other but that is it. As I walk back to my room my stomach grumbles reminding me I need to go get some food. Stepping into my room I decide to give a mom and pop cafe that I saw right off base a try.

     I quickly throw on some socks and shoes and head out. I get the the cafe, read the sign "The blue moon cafe" with an image of a full blue moon behind the writing. I glide in the door and find it quiet, a few people around but not very busy. A sign at the front counter reads, "please seat yourself" as I see an empty booth and slide in. I pull out my phone looking for something to pass the time waiting for the waitress.

     "How can I help you today?" a middle aged woman, with shoulder length dark brown, almost black, hair asked in a drab voice saying today is going to be a long day.

     I look up a little startled "I will take some coffee to start with. Give me just a moment on the food. Thank you" as she turns to walk away I call back to her "save the cow". She looks over her shoulder with a questioning look. "No cream" I explain.

     She turns back with a little chuckle and pours my coffee. I quickly look at the menu and decide on a western omelet, I have always liked those.

     As she returns I quickly tell her my order and grab the coffee for the first swig of the morning. As I sip my coffee I start surfing the internet on my phone trying to find some rhyme or reason behind the dream I woke up with that morning.

     I don't find anything worth looking to far into before breakfast comes. "Thank you" I state quickly before she dashes off to help another customer.

     I quietly ate my omelet savoring each bite, casually flipping through different sites about the ABDL community. "how's the omelet? And would you like some more coffee?" I hear the waitress ask from beside me.

     "It's great thank you, and I would love some more thank you." I mentally shake myself, I need to stop getting so wrapped up in what I'm looking at online. She quickly refills my cup and continues her rounds.

     As I finish my breakfast she slips by refilling my cup one more time and leaving the check. I slowly finish my third cup as I let the food set, as I drink the last swallow of my coffee I slide out and grab the check and head to the the cashier. As I am waiting the waitress comes up and starts to ring me out. "How was everything today?"

     "It was wonderful thank you. I think I may have to make a weekly visit as long as I'm in town." I say with a smile on my face. I quickly pay with my debit card and head back to base.

     When I got back to my room I pulled out my school stuff and started to study. I studied until my stomach decided to tell me that I was hungry. Glancing up at the clock I realise it is dinner time at the gallee and quickly make the walk down there for dinner. After dinner I head back to my room, pull out my laptop, and do some more research. Newkirk is in the room by then so I ask "How has your day been?'

     "Ohhh you know just exploring what's around. I found my way to the mall first thing this morning. When did you wake by the way? You must have been having a strange dream. You were mumbling in your sleep." He states as he stretches out his 6'2" frame onto his bed.

     I nervously chuckle "yeah I remember it being odd just don't remember much of it." I quickly lie and hope he lets it go.

     "Yeah I have those sometimes, if you start to get to loud I will just throw something at ya. Do the same if I get loud" he chuckles at his little joke.

     I chuckle as I pull up the search engine and continue my site browsing. The rest of that day, and the next, go rather uneventful. Monday rolls around and the start of a new week. I learned that we have tests every friday, so I'm not expecting to start any study sessions as EPO until the week after. The week went by in a blur ending in a near perfect score on that weeks test.

     The weekend was about the same with the exception of going to the mall. Those strange dreams continued, with slight changes each time and no calling out. I decided that I would make the blue moon cafe a weekly stop every Sunday as a treat before the start of the new week.

     Monday came and the scheduling of the study halls. There would be two sessions a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Jackson, the other EPO, would take the Tuesday I would take the Thursday.

     The week flew by next thing I knew I was up in a different class room waiting for the study hall people to come in an hour after class was released. I had a tentative plan of what I wanted to go over, but was going to ask where the help was needed most first. A few people came in then she did, about 2 inches shorter than me, skinny as a rail, dirty blond hair pulled up in a bun. Her name badge read "Chappa" and I felt drawn to her.

     "Ok let's settle down. Now what do we all need help with?" I start the study session with. As it turns out they all needed help with different parts of today's lesson. So I settle in and start from the beginning.

     After an hour of going over the material. We call it for the night. As I gather my stuff I wait for everyone to leave. As I close the door behind me she is standing there just down the hall eyeing me with lust filled eyes. I walk towards her. "Hi I'm Sean Fredrickson" I present my hand for a shake.

     "I'm Carol Chappa nice to meet you. Are you doing anything this weekend?" She responds in turn. Daintily shaking my hand.

     "Not right now, do you have any plans?" I ask with a slight blush.

     "Actually some friends and I are getting a hotel and having a little party. I wanted to know if you would like to come?"

     I respond maybe a little too quickly "I would love to. Where should we meet?"

     "we are all meeting at the smoke deck at 1800 on Friday. Hope to see you there."

     "Wouldn't miss it." I assure her.

     I head back to my room, head swimming with what I may have just gotten myself into. As I step into my room I quickly say hi to Newkirk, undress and climb into bed. As I drift off to sleep my mind is fixated on her haunting looks and her piercing green eyes.
