With the help of the dream

I sneaked into my dad's lab because why not, in the lab I saw something called 4089S, I didn't know what it was, so I hopped in and turned 4089S on. Like it can't be a bad idea, right? It was a bad idea.

The next moment I was teleported to a strange land. I was so scared, and I was sure that I was never getting back to Earth. I tried everything but still nothing worked. I started regretting my life choices until I saw something on the ground, it was written in paint. It went like: 'Make friends, then you will be teleported to another place.'

So, I started searching for some creatures who I could make friends with. I tried fish, cats but nothing. But then I saw a villager and it worked. I made friends with him! I was teleported to a new land, it was dazzling and there were gorgeous flying creatures. They were so amiable and they gave me a hint how to be teleported to another land. I just needed to find a moonflower. That was my new goal. But they are so rare and so beautiful. I looked and looked and looked until I became exhausted and bored with that useless search . . . and then I remembered, moonflowers bloom at night. I was so dumb. I had to wait for the night and then I found one, I found it! I was so relieved.

I was teleported to Antarctica. It was freezing cold, and I did not have a jacket, I had to move a lot to keep myself warm but I was not giving up. I walked and walked until I found a village. To my surprise, it was toasty hot in the village and the humans were so kind and hospitable, they offered me a cup of hot tea and some cookies, they were delicious. I waved them goodbye and got going. They also told me to check out the Ice Museum. I knew it had something to do with the clue for escaping from this land. I found the museum and started exploring, I found clues which said I needed to go west and find the ice queen, smile at her and say the magical words (I am not telling you the magical words). You know what happened next, I was teleported HOME! I was so thrilled that I finally got home, it was too long a journey and it was so good to be back home.

And that is how the story ends, right? Nope! There is something better, it was all a dream. Yeah, all a dream, so, that is how the story ends, right? Oh, no. I couldn't get the dream out of my head, so I started thinking about it . . . strange lands, friends, a rare moonflower, a smile, magic words. I felt there was a message in my dream but I couldn't figure it out. Everything was quite logical in the dream but now it was all very confusing and didn't make any sense. I just felt it had something to do with . . . Laura, my friend who I again fell out with the other day. Again! I was rude to her. Again! I miss her but I am too proud to call her. Too proud or to be honest, too ashamed. I feel so stuck and so miserable.

Laura, rare and beautiful like a moonflower. I needed to see her immediately. I knew exactly what I had to do, I did it in my dream already and I was saved. I do not remember what I said to her, I was so disoriented, but when I smiled and said magical words (I am not telling you the magical words), Laura smiled back and it changed everything. That was the only thing I needed, except for the hot tea and cookies which were on the table in front of us.
