Sleep.

I hadn’t been able to enjoy it since Bert hired me as his personal assitant. But that was three months ago and Bert had since fired me (for reasons known only to him; rockstars can be so…fickle). The day Bert fired me was arguably the best day of my life.

“Lucy…”

Oh.No. This can’t be…No, of course not. It’s just another nightmare.

“Lucy! Luuuucccyyy!” the voice cried in my ear. Suddenly something squishy and vaguely human feeling landed on top of me. “Lucy!” I squeezed my shut.

I should’ve just accpeted it as reality…I should’ve gotten up…

Just then something warm and wet was dragged across my face. I sat up abruptly, knocking Bert to the ground.

“You licked me!” I yelled, staring muderously at…it. I dimly registered that his hair was now a shiny blond color.

“Did ya miss me, Lu?” he asked.

“Like a dog misses his fleas.”

Bert pouted. “That’s not nice, Lu. I missed you.”

I flopped back.

“By the way, you’re rehired.”

Oh, crap.
