Next I found myself at mom's house driving dad's car. She had an upper garage and a lower garage and I was trying to figure out where to park. I told her that Sam had died, but then reached into the car and pulled out a new puppy. I told her that I just couldn't stand going home to a quiet house without Sam. We were standing in the driveway and I looked up in the sky. There was a dark shadow that turned into a UFO, hovering above us. Other neighbors gathered around, but no one would believe that it was real. Then it shot across the sky. I decided I had to follow it to find out if it was real.
Somehow Mom and Susan had been shrunk down into tiny people and were riding in the front seat of the car while I chased the UFO. They kept commenting on my driving, telling me to slow down and not hit the bumps in the road so hard. I pulled up to a library and went inside to read about UFOs. I ended up in a classroom of kids with a couple of male teachers. We started playing music and listing things on the board from the lyrics. I had a giant sound system that rolled around on a 10 foot tall cart. We danced and sang and had a good time. Then I realized I needed to get back to the car where Mom and Susan were waiting.
I walked outside and there were lots of people walking around and shopping. I stopped in a Mexican fast food place and bought a burrito and an enchirito. As I was walking back to the car I saw some ceramic tiles over a hole in the ground and a sign that said "Please step" so I stepped on the tiles. They broke beneath my feet and my legs fell into the hole. As I was trying to extract myself, a woman walked up with an angry look on her face and I realized that she was an artist and I had just ruined one of her pieces. I tried to explain that I was just doing what the sign said, but then she pointed out that the sign said "Please step around." I was very apologetic and told her that my dog had died that day and I was just trying to get home. She forgave me.
I got back in the car and Mom and Susan crawled into the bag of fast food for the ride home. When I got back to mom's house, I was sitting in the attic unwrapping my food and laying it out before me on the floor. Mom and Susan were nowhere to be found! I panicked and started playing the afternoon back, trying to figure out where I had left them. Then mom called from downstairs and she was back to her normal size. I was relieved.
