A/N- I just recently finished reading Paper Towns by John Green and I am not completely satisfied with the ending, so I am writing this because I would like to believe this is what happens after the story ends.

((DISCLAIMER: I do not own Paper Towns.))

CHAPTER 1: "Paper Girl"

Every once in a while I have this recurring dream and it always feels so real that I am still not completely convinced that it's a dream. In my dream, I wake up in the middle of the night to find Margo crouching just outside my window. And every time this happens I go to her and look into her big, round eyes and just stare back; waiting for her to say something; waiting to hear of her travels; waiting for her to say she's back; waiting for her to say that she misses me. It never happens.

We just stare through the glass of the unscreened window until finally I hear her muffled voice say, "Go back to bed, Q." And no matter how many times following the dream I tell myself that next time I won't listen to her, I always do. And every time I look back at the window from my bed, she is already gone.

I thought the dream would stop, when I went off to college, and it did; when I was actually at college. But when I was home, it would come back; sometimes during Winter Break, once on Thanksgiving; but mostly on Summer Break.

I worried, the day I moved out of my parents' house, that the dream would stop. By then, I knew it was only a dream, because Margo didn't ever really change. Well, when I think about it, I guess each time she did look a little different, but I convinced myself it was just my memory failing me. I'd been having this dream for four years and I was attached to it; to Margo; to the memory of my paper girl. I didn't want it to stop. I needed it to continue.
