The phone went to message.
Hey, this is Molly. Please leave a message, unless you are Kaitlyn Kanaoepen. Thank you!
Dream heard the beep.
"Um, hey Molly, it's Dream...I was just wondering if I could come and live with you?"
She picked up. "Yes. I can see it would be hard to live with a grotesque witch. I'll come pick you up." She hung up. Dream knew it was sort of mean of him not to argue when she called his mother a grotesque witch, but at the moment he agreed. His phone rang. It was Molly. "Um, where are you?"
Dream laughed a little. "At the edge of the forest, North side."
"Thanks, I'm like, five minutes away."
After a moment, Dream got bored. He realized Sparrow was wriggling around in his pocket, and he pulled her out.
"Did you forget about me?"
Dream blushed. "Um..."
"Because it's okay if you did."
"Oh, well I did. So, we're going to go live with my dad's girlfriend for a while. She's really nice."
"Yeah, okay." A bright blue car pulled up. It was Molly.
"Hey, Dream! Hop in."
"Hi Molly! I um, have a little something also...." He took out Sparrow.
"Woah! She's beautiful! Is she yours?"
"Yeah....?"
"Cool, I'm fine with pets. What's her name?"
"Sparrow."
"Huh...did you make it up?"
Sparrow spoke now. "No, my mother did."
Molly screeched the car into brake. "Who was that?"
"Sparrow...." Murmured Dream.
Molly grinned. "Awesome."
