Random DREAM moments

Day Off

"Soria, you just about ready, hun?" Kent called across the dorm.

"Hang on a second!" She called back to us. "It takes time to look as good as I do."

"Really? All that crap on your face makes you look good?" Ryan asked. I snickered as I gave him a light slap on his upper arm.

"Makes me look better than you, don't it? And that's all I care about." Soria said as she gently prodded Ryan aside and linked her arm with Aaliyah's.

"But we have everyone now? Everyone's got everything they need?" I asked.

Everyone nodded to me and we headed out to enjoy our last day off before we had to start working hard for this next album release.

I was glad that we where only required to drop one album a year for now, but I was scared that Dreamers would get cold feet if we left them waiting for too long.

"So, what was our plan again?" Kyle asked. "You girls and Kent wanted to head to the cat cafe, right?" he asked.

"I have to pick up a couple of things from the drug store around the corner from there." Ryan said.

"Wow, so then I guess I'm sticking with you guys and the cat cafe." Kyle pouted.

"Why did you make that seem like a bad thing?" Aaliyah asked as she stopped to half confront him.

"Well, I mean look at him, Al. He's gunna be hanging around a bunch of girls." I said.

"Hey!" Ryan said.

"Oh, and Kent." I said.

"But Kent doesn't count." Soria said as she playfully elbowed me and gave me a wink as Kent pouted again.

"You guys are so mean!" he whined.

"You want me to call you a wah-ambulance?" Ryan asked.

"Bish, piss off!" Kent said as he playfully tackled Ryan and crashed into Natalie and I a little as he did.

"Ok, that's enough." I said in a playfully mad tone as we all stepped out of the house and moved to our respective cars.

"Alright, we'll see you guys back here tonight." Ryan said and I threw him a salute with a thumbs up as I squished into the back seat and Kyle, Aaliyah, Soria and Natalie followed after me while Ryan and Kent went around to the other car.

"Is some one doing a vlog for DREAMERS?" Soria asked as she rolled down her window. Kent held up a camera and Soria threw him a thumbs up. We wanted our fans to see a little bit of what our days off where like. We thought we could do this by vlogging our daily routines for them.

At the cat café, Soria and I took turns with a laser pointer and Natalie and Kyle tried to coaxed a group of kittens out from a hidey hole with only a little luck.

"How fun would it be if Mark let us keep a kitten at the house?" Aaliyah asked as she picked up a grey and orange girl and gently snuggled her.

"Isn't Kenny allergic to cat's?" Natalie asked.

"I think he did say something about that once, didn't he?" Kyle said. "Too bad too. I know he has a soft spot for them too."

I sighed and Soria handed me the vlog camera. "Here, my arm is sore." she told me. I nodded in understanding and turned the camera back on again. "Did Ry and Kent say when they wanted to meet up again for lunch or are we on our own?" I asked.

"If we're on our own then I want to try that sushi bar down the street from here." Aaliyah said as she sat down next to me again and dragged her finger on the floor for a cat to follow.

We ended up telling Kent and Ryan where we were going and they met us there for lunch.

"Aaliyah was saying how nice it would be if Mark would let us have a kitten at the house." Soria tattled and Aaliyah blushed as she tried to shush the other.

Kent laughed and sadly sighed. "I wish we could too. I had always wanted a cat growing up, y'know? But with my allergies, I wasn't allowed. I even tried to bargain with my parents and say "but I could be in a different room as the cat." but they told me "you're the one that wants it. if you did that then what's the point of the cat being yours." which honestly made sense to my 5 year old brain. Now I'm just thinking, why didn't we keep it outside then?"

I nodded in understanding.

"Should we head back to the house and bring the idea up to Mark on Monday?" I asked softly as I tried to look into Kent's eyes. Kent nodded slowly and Kyle gave him a quick hug as we all stood up and walked back out to the cars again.

Today was eventful. We honestly needed more days like this to get out and to just stay in and get to know the other person. I know that there was a lot more that we could learn from each other if we just took the time to sit and do it. I knew that we would have more time now with how loose our schedule was at this point in time.
