Michael (Zzyzx) Montague & I are at a swimming hole. We hold hands, jump off ledges and look for turtles as we swim back.
I don't know anyone there but him. It's my first time going to the swimming hole.
As I listen to the conversations going on around me, I realize that everyone else is talking about last nights' prom. I feel a little left out. I wasn't invited.
Michael & I jump off a ledge that is new to me. It's way off in a hidden corner of the swimming hole. No other kids are there, just some old people drinking 40s. It's scary because I can't see how deep it is. After we make the jump, we start to swim back to a more populated area.
As we swim out into the open water, we see that a cliff ledge is on fire! We swim towards it and I yell for people who are on it to jump into the water. I tell others to swim to the grove of trees where everyone eats lunch. I swim to the grove myself.
When I get to the grove of trees, Wave asks me where Rowan & Desmond are. I tell him that I don't know, but I'll go find them. As I run off to find my children, I tell people to gather for a headcount.
I quickly find Rowan & Desmond. It's easy to see Rowan on stage in her hot pink leotard, and Desmond is copying her every move.
I tell them to go find Daddy and continue the other way, telling people to gather in the trees...

That's a good one, Jen!
And you love swimming so much!!!
Do you dream about him (Michael) very often?
Nope, never. I have no idea why I did now.
I saw him at the mall when I was pregnant with Drew. He worked at Round Table Pizza.
