What a dream?
Rue woke up.
What a dream.
Her hotel was painted green.

But that was the least of her worries
about what she'd seen.
She remembered Jasper did say,
BG needed a holiday.
No, wait. That was real...
and if the dream was too...
Next to her she did feel
someone stir, she froze
feeling their breath graze
her cheek and her nose.

She tried to slide out of bed
but a strong arm held her in place instead.
One glance and Rue could see,
This isn't Jasper next to me.
He pulled her close his hat pulled down
but underneath she'd seen a frown.
"Don't you dare run away."
That voice held her at bay.
No, it can't be she's being silly.
She lifted the hat
Oh hell...it was Billy.

"You have no idea the trouble you're in,"
Billy said wearing a grin.
Rue pushed him away and fell out of bed.
Rubbing the place where she hit her head.
"What in the world are you doing here?
Last night? Did we...?"
Her heart filled with fear.
"No, not that anyone would believe you now.
You put on quite a show.
Nearly went on the prowl.
Whatever Jasper added to CG's brew
had everyone revealing secrets no one knew.
Rue backed away afraid to ask
as Billy's face became a mask.

"Where is Jasper?"
"Don't know.
Perhaps he ran away
after hearing
what you had to say."
"It was the effects of the drink.
It wasn't true."
