Chapter 1
It was almost the end to another day of work and David was getting really tired. He got so tired that he ended up falling asleep. The door slamming awoke David Addison from his nap. He jerked his head upward off the desk so fast that he felt for sure that he gave himself whiplash. He placed one of his hands on the back of his neck and started to rub it.
"Whelp the boss lady sure ain't happy," thought David as he rose groggigly from his desk, still trying to rid himself of the last pieces of sleep.
He lumbered toward his oak office door and gripped the handle. He yanked the door open and walked through the small lobby. He walked past the other employees at the Blue Moon who were sitting behind their desks, working. They turned to give him a stare for a minute. They could see him rubbing his eyes and trying to restrain himself from yawning. They knew fireworks were coming. They always did when David and Maddie talked.
David threw open Maddie's office door and stared at her sitting at her desk. She had her elbows on the table, her head in her hands. Her honey golden hair was tossled by her fingers, which were rooted in her hair.
"Forget how to knock?" asked Maddie in an irritated tone of voice.
"Did you forget how to calm down?" retorted David as he shut the door behind him. "I was taking a nap."
"Well excuse me for being just a little bit stressed out," grumpled Maddie. "I only have a company to run and you sure aren't any help."
"So it's going to be one of those conversations," said David as he threw himself down onto Maddie's couch, stretching out and closing his eyes.
"What do you mean, 'one of those conversations'?" asked Maddie as she slowly brought her head up, bright sparks of irritation in her eyes.
"I mean, I come in here and try to see what's wrong with you and then you change the subject on me, because you seem to hate talking about yourself..." David opened his eyes and looked up at Maddie with a slight smile on his face as he added, "Sarcasm intented. And then you try to state how I'm not doing my job, or what a disappointment I am. It gets really old after a while Maddie."
Maddie was speechless for a couple of minutes. She stared at David for a few moments while he reclosed his eyes and went back to relaxing.
"For your information, I wasn't about to chew you out and I don't expect sarcasm from an employee. Do you understand me? I am your boss and you will treat me like such even if you don't see me as one."
David opened his eyes and looked at the enraged Maddie. A coy smile appeared on his face.
"You're on fire babe. Better cool off."
"Stop it! Stop talking to me like that!" shouted Maddie.
"See? I knew it," said David with a sigh. "You're going to chew me out. Being right is exhausting."
"Don't you dare shut your eyes on me again David Addison," growled Maddie as David was about to shut his eyes once more.
David shut one eye and kept the other open. That sent Maddie over the edge.
"You act like such a child!" screeched Maddie.
"Me?" asked David innocently with a small smile.
"Agh! I wish you could see what a child you are!" screamed Maddie.
"Be careful what you wish for. It just might come true," warned David.
He rose from his comfy position on the couch and started to walk toward the door.
"Well I'm going to clock out for the day. I'll see you tomorrow boss," he said.
"Yes," she grumpled. "See you tomorrow."
"Sure you don't want to tell me what's the matter?" asked David. "I can help."
"You've helped enough today Addison. Please just go home," said Maddie. "I'll be fine."
With a shrug of his shoulders, David turned and walked out the door.
It took him a half hour before he stumbled into his house and threw himself down on the bed. It had been a long day. David was really sleepy. Before he even realized it he was asleep.
"I wish you could see what a child you are!"
David could hear Maddie's voice echo around him in the darkness, but he didn't know what direction her voice was coming from.
"Be careful what you wish for."
Now that was his voice, but he didn't say anything so how could it be?
"It just might come true."
There was his voice again. David whipped around in the darkness but still could see nothing.
A sharp stab of pain shot through his body. David grabbed his arm to try to quell the pain. It didn't help. The tingling pain started to encase his body.
David's eyes flew open; his body drenched in a cold sweat. What kind of dream was that? Why had he been in so much pain?
David rolled over and looked at the alarm clock and saw that it was time to get ready for another day of work. He slowly got out of bed and walked into the bathroom. He flicked the light on and brought his tired face up to look into the mirror. What he saw in the mirror made his head feel light. He thought for sure he was dreaming.
For what stared back at him in the mirror was his seventeen year old self.
