The following Friday morning, Alan was in the The kitchen with a look on his face that said "what the hell was that?" Charlie came into the kitchen well rested.

"Hey," Charlie said passively as he poured himself some coffee. Alan was silent.

"You know, I had the strangest dream last night. I dreamt that Adriana was caressing you like you were a child and she was your mother, but you guys were the same age as you are in real life," Charlie stated.

"That was no dream. That was real," Alan said.

"What do you mean?" Charlie asked.

"During our date, we started talking. After I told her about how you guys treat me, she felt like she needed to pity me. She caressed me and started calling me weird pet names like 'hun bun' and 'bubbly blue bon bon'. It was strange to think that a total stranger cared so much about me," Alan explained.

Charlie suddenly snickered.

"What?" Alan asked.

"I was just (snicker) w-what did she call you again? (snicker)" Charlie asked.

Alan glared at him. "Hun bun and bubbly blue bon bon," Alan repeated.

Charlie burst out laughing. Alan ignored him. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Alan went to answer it and it was Judith and Jake.

"Hello," Alan greeted.

"Jake, please go to your room. I'd like to speak to your father alone," Judith instructed.

"Ok," Jake said as he headed to his room.

Alan looked and noticed that Judith had sort of an angry look on her face.
