Strawberries On Top

🍓ONE🍓

It happened again -- the dream.

Only difference between this dream and the last one, it all felt very real. I didn't think feeling that way in a dream was a possibility. I felt his hand touch mine, I felt his hand as it brushed against my cheek, I felt his lips when we kissed, and I felt my heart.. when it.. 

What did it all mean? 

"I'm guessing you couldn't sleep again?" 

The sight of Custard caused Strawberry's train of thought to immediately derail. She threw her pen inside of her journal out of slight panic before she shut it. She then stared amusingly at her pink, fluffy mess of a feline.

"Not really." She told her with a light chuckle. "I'm guessing the same for you?"

"Pupcake and his stupid snoring kept me up most of the night. I'm surprised I'm wide awake right now." 

"Well, I know just the thing that will make your morning easier." Strawberry rose from the living room chair and headed towards her kitchen with Custard following suit. She opened her refrigerator and pulled out a fresh bottle of milk, pulling out Custard's bowl from the cabinet before she poured some of it inside. 

Custard didn't hesitate on letting out the biggest meow before she ran happily to the bowl of milk that was waiting for her on the floor. Strawberry grabbed her journal and was headed towards her room to change into her clothes, as she was in her nightgown. 

"I have plans with Huck and I'm going to be leaving soon. Any special requests while I'm out there?" 

"Oh? You're going to see him again?" Custard asked her after she slurped the milk from her bowl like no tomorrow. "Didn't you see him, like, two days ago?" 

"He's my best friend, we see each other all the time." Strawberry said with a small giggle. 

"Even best friends need more than two days to be away from each other, that's just how it works. I mean, Pupcake is my best friend, but I live with him. You don't see me happy about that, do you?" Custard saw the unamused look on Strawberry's face and quickly took that as her cue to change the subject. "What are you doing with Huck today, anyway?" 

"The plan was to go to Cookie Corner and visit Ginger Snap. She has a new recipe she wants us to try and then to recreate it. Angel Cake skipped out of that, for some reason." Strawberry said, lost in thought. "We would normally write letters to confirm our plans and I haven't heard anything from him, which is weird." 

"Maybe he forgot?" Custard suggested. "You know Huck can be forgetful." 

"Not with this stuff, he's not." Strawberry looked to her clock on the wall and started to panic. "I have to get ready, maybe stop by his fort before I go to Cookie Corner, just to be safe." 

"Whatever you say," Custard said with a slight eye roll. "Oh, and before you go.." 

"What is it?" 

"Pupcake ate all of his dog biscuits.. and my treats.. and he's been staring at your box of cookies for a few days. I would hide those, if I were you." 

"So, more cookies, then?" 

"That would be nice."
