it was nighttime and we were about to go for horseback riding. we chose our horses and some extras which were pink and were ridden by pink glowing women, for extra light or aesthetic or something. we set off, we were in the desert but we couldnt see anything because it was so dark.
in the morning we looked out and saw that we weren't in the desert but at my aunt and uncle's house on bainbridge island. we went out walking, there was a raft ride like those ones at the water park so we took a ride on that, and i wanted to go a second time but nobody would go with me. before we left we went down to our rooms, and when we came back out our rooms were big labyrinths and we had to climb up the walls to get from room to room and at the top of some of the ladders people had signed their names. back into the house it was my parent's house, and i was downstairs and mom was there with sandy and i brought a sampler platter of different flavored cream cheeses and we ate that with some bread before we left.
we were going to leave in a plane. my old friend sat in the row in front  of me. i dont know if it was becca or a cousin or who else. eric sat next to me. my friend in front asked if i would give her my airline snack, and i said no, i wanted it, but she could have my leftover pasta but she didnt want that. when we took off, it wasnt in planes but in our own helicopters. we all followed the leader. it wasnt like we were inside anything but like we had turned into helicopters ourselves. we all flew in line out over some hills and mountains, and there were santas in sleighs complete with reindeers all around, pretending to fly around. most of them were made of christmas lights, and we couldnt figure out why they were there because is january. we got to water and kept flying. there was a pirate ship that started shooting us. we were all hit, but instead of sinking us, we lost little treasures which were symbols made of light that fell out of us into the water. we flew on but it was more difficult then, we all had to make efforts not to sink toward the water.
we started seeing strange lights over the water then. orbs of pink and orange light. we looked out toward the mountains on the horizon, a second sun was setting pink and orange. the supernova must have happened. we decided to fly out toward the east to avoid the lights, but soon ran into an invisible wall. we followed the wall with our hands until i found an opening, which we all went through. slightly beyond that there was another invisible wall. we all flew into the space between the walls. i was afraid that one of the doors would close and we would be separated, but soon more doors in the wall began to open, and from the second wall came in people. they were much larger than we were and walking on the ground, and we realized that we were miniature. we went through the second wall and became normal size. there were paths going up the mountain. i wanted everyone to hurry up and follow me. mochi appeared and ran ahead on the path. i ran to keep up with her, she ran up and up from bush to bush. she was scared. finally i caught her and wanted to pose in a spot where we could see the wall and trees and mountains and mist in the background, to remember the day we crossed into this other world. i sat and waited for my comrades to catch up but they didn't. someone told me that the helicopter people were on strike somewhere down the mountain. i put mochi in my backpack and started down to find them.
