Alexis was always a pretty lucky girl. She went by Lexi, and she absolutely loved her name. She was skinny, and very pretty. Blonde hair, brown eyes, perfect figure, the whole deal. While all the other girls stood in front of the mirror complaining about one thing or another, baby fat, hips are wide, anything they could possibly think of, Lexi would say, "Oh, but Andrea! Look how pretty your hair is!" or "Oooooh look at Claire's eyes! They're so gorgeous in the light!" Basically everyone liked Lexi. Of course, there was one thing in particular that made Lexi special from anyone else, and she wasn't sure if she liked it or not.
Lexi didn't find out about it until her eighth birthday. the party was colossal, and everyone showed up. Jenny rounded all Lexi's friends outside for hide-and-seek, and Lexi was the seeker. She was walking outside to count on the porch, when she sort of....fell asleep. The rest of the kids assumed she was counting with her eyes covered, like you do in that game. But there she was, Standing perfectly still, breathing normally, blinking occasionally, just like normal. She was awake. But she was dreaming. She saw Jenny, crouching behind the Rosebush, she saw Tommy up the Oak tree, and Nick was behind the shed. She saw all her friends in the most unusual places. A few were suspressing giggles, while one or two whispered to each other, "she'll never find us here!" Lexi suddenly snapped back to reality. She pushed open the door and yelled, "Ready or not, here I come!" She decided she was going to test the dream, you know, just see if there was any truth to it at all. She walked up to the rosebush, reached out a hand, and tagged Jenny. She looked up, there was Tommy, in the tree. It was perhaps the fastest game of hide-and-seek ever played without the seeker intentionally cheating. Lexi was still puzzled about that strange dream, and began to wonder if it was, in fact, a dream.
