Once Upon a Dream

Chapter 2

Chapter one

*Flashback*

"Tilly!" I small voice squealed in my ear. I groan and open my eyes, glancing at the clock noticing that it is 7 am, too early to actually do anything remotely productive, but I sit up in bed and put on my glasses, giggling when the little boy that woke me up struggles to get on to the bed next to me.

Last night me and Troye, my neighbor, had a sleepover at my house. Our mothers are best friends and we have been best friends since they moved here two years ago. He was only two years old and I was eight.

I rolled my eyes and picked him up. As I put him gently on the bed, he immediately crawled over the seats and sat next to me. He raised his tiny arms that I only just noticed were covered in a much too big sweatshirt.

"Tilly guess what?" he asked, excitement evident in his voice. He didn't give me time to answer before he jumped in to his explanation. "I played dress up and now i look just like you! and your mommy said I can get clothes for you too!" I raised an eyebrow "Really did you find any?" He nodded and jumped off the bed (Nearly falling on his face in to the process). I sighed and got up and then followed him to the bathroom that he disappeared in.

It turned out Troye had thought of everything. The second my foot entered the bathroom my eyes widened. The bathtub was running and threatening to overflow with bubbles. Troye just gave me one of his famously toothy grins. "Come on, we didn't take a bath last night so now we are extra super dirty. And my mommy and your mommy said we could but in our swimsuits." As he was talking I managed to turn off the water and control the bubbles. "Also I got your toothbrush ready." He handed me my toothbrush with a mountain of toothpaste on top. I took it from him careful to not show my distaste at the amount he put. "Thank you Tim-Tam how about you go get your swim suit on and I get ready in here ok?" He nodded and ran into my room.

I scraped half the toothpaste into the sink then brushed my teeth then got into my swim suit. A second later I heard a small knock on the bathroom door. "Tilly, are you still in dare?" I stifled a laugh at his underdeveloped speech. "Yeah Troye, you can come in." I called so he could hear me.

A few minutes later we both sat in the tub covered in soap and bubbles, Troye sat beside me and we laughed as we put each other's hair into different crazy shapes. "Tilly, what do you want to be when you grow up?" I thought for a minute. "I have no idea. How about you Tim-Tam?" He thought for a few minutes as he sculpted my hair into a mohawk. "I want to be a singer!"

He then laughed and put bubbles on his chin making himself a beard. Once we were both clean and our fingers started to resemble prunes we both got out and got dressed. Troye got back into the clothes he found of mine that he liked and me into the clothes he picked out which were sweat pants and a fancy button up shirt.

Together, we both walked down stairs, into the kitchen where my mother was making breakfast. Troye ran up to her pulling on her shirt. "Guess what Ms. Oakley? Tilly and me took a bubble bath and then I got him clothes, see!" he dragged me over showing off the outfit he so proudly picked out for me. My mom laughed "You both look so handsome, but it is time for breakfast so take a seat."

We both sat down next to each other "Are we having waffles?" I asked as my mom poured the batter into a pan. She nodded, and out of the corner of my eye I saw Troye make a gagging motion with his mouth.

"I don't like waffles!" Troye whispered to me. I frowned at him.
"Mommy! Troye doesn't like waffles, he needs something else!" I call over to her. She turns her head with an eyebrow raised and a small smile planted on her face.

"Oh! My bad, darling. Would you like some cereal instead?"

Troye nods in response while picking at his nails. A few minutes later, everyone is eating their food in satisfaction.
