Sleep On It

The Teddys

I open my eyes

I am in a hotel, in New York
I know it because it says "Welcome to the best hotel in New York" on a giant board in front of me

I look around and I see Molly
We are in a room
She smiles at me and lays a map on the table

I look at the map

This isn't like any other maps I've seen so far
Why is there only one continent?
And why is this so big?

So many questions...

ME: What is that, Middle Earth?
MOLLY: Oh I wish. But no, just a regular map of our regular world.

Not my world

ME: Sure.

I look at her for a solid minute

...

Then it hits me

I am dreaming again

...

Fine

ME: Fine. What is it for then? Geography study?
MOLLY: Well, we need to get ready for our trip don't we? I mean, unless you have better things to do of course.
ME: Better things than a trip? No, absolutely not. Huh huh.

I am all in for a trip girl
Show me that map!

ME: Show me that map.
MOLLY: Here.

I look at "the map"
Molly points at me some random dot on the lower east part of it

I'm guessing... Australia?

ME: Let me guess, Australia?
MOLLY: Yes!

I figured

I think we actually talked about going to Australia in real life

Or was it dating an Australian?
I'm not sure...

Either way, the word Australia definitely came up several times

MOLLY:  I already prepared an itinerary for us. Here, you can read it.

She hands me a book
Not a paper. A book

Exactly how much is she planning on doing there?
And how long is this trip going to last?

I look at some pages

I admit it though, it's a lot of work

ME: That looks super legit... I'm not sure I will have the time to read it all. But I am sure it's great. I trust you on that Molly.
MOLLY: Really? Oh, I'm so happy you say that.

There you go

MOLLY: Ok, let's go then.

What?
