ME: What?
She insists
I pause
ME: You mean, like, let's go... now?
MOLLY: Of course, now. Everything is ready.
I am not ready
She insists. Again
I look next to me
I see two suitcases
I look at them
Hey, that's my pink suitcase!
I thought I broke it, 2 years ago
Awww
Molly grabs her black suitcase and hands me mine
I take it
I weigh it. It's light
Too light
Oh, come on
Is it a prop again? Is something bad about to happen?
I give a good look at the room
Nothing suspicious
I mean, at least this time, I know that this is a dream
Meaning, I should be able to wake up on demand, if anything goes wrong
I guess...
Let's see what awaits us
I see Molly opening the door
I follow her
We suddenly find ourselves in a forest
A forest?
I take a good look around
I see wood panels
I see trees with paint on it
Is this what Australia is supposed to look like?
ME: So... that's Australia?
MOLLY: Apparently.
ME: Where are the cute Australians?
MOLLY: And the koalas?
The... right
ME: Yes, that too.
MOLLY: Kangaroo?
ME: What?
MOLLY: No, I thought you said Kangaroo.
ME: No, I didn't.
MOLLY: Oh.
Why on earth would I ever say kangaroo?
I look around, confused
ME: But seriously though, where are the Australians?
She looks around, confused as well
Suddenly, we hear a loud noise behind us
We turn around
There is a wooden table, 6 feet from us
There seems to be something on it
I look at Molly
She shrugs her shoulders
I do the same
As we get closer to the table, I can see a sheet
Only, there seems to be something under it
Molly doesn't even hesitate and removes the sheet from the table
Holy shit
(Holy sheet?)
Weapons
This is it
We are going to be in the Hunger Games
