Joan-sleepily watching Darlene about to run out of the bed room door says, "Morning Darlene"

Darlene-moans "Morning"

Joan-"I barely ever see you even in the morning; you do know you don't have to rush off every morning-Right?"

Darlene-rolling her eyes says, "Yeah, I know" "But I like too" "Bye"

Judith-moaning at the early morning conversation that woke her up says, "Nice try Joan" "I think you and Darlene are on your way to being best friends any day now."

Joan-"I just don't get why she is soo…so weird."

Judith-sarcastically, "Hmm compulsive hair puller eats her emotions like they are food, and very low self-esteem I might add." "Yeap Darlene is a real riddle" "Not my problem."

Joan-"Don't you care about her at all?" "I mean she is our room mate."

Judith-"Well I haven't deliberately said anything MEAN to her lately, and she is still a bitch." "So really I guess I don't' care to go out of my way to be hospitable to her."

Joan-"She cleaned up the hair balls"

Judith-"Off the floor-True" "but there are still tons on her bed." "Lets go get some breakfast already."

In the cafeteria both Judith and Joan get a bowl of cereal. Joan curiously watches as Counselor Cat gives one of the Echo Girls Sarah a batch of brownies.

Judith- seeing the look of confusion on Joan's face says, "So Joan, do you have a birthday in the next month or so?"

Joan-"No my birthday is November 14th" "Is that why Sarah is getting brownies today?" "Or are you asking because you want to throw me a birthday party?"

Judith-"Well I guess if I'm not in boarding school I'll keep your birthday in mind." "But, Yeap, it is Sarah's birthday today." "And although I am sure having a birthday here would kind of suck I would love to have some brownies for once."

Joan-"Yeah brownies would be good." "When is your birthday?"

Judith-"March 9th 1988" "No brownies for me to share with you either, sorry."

Joan-"Did you do anything fun for your birthday last year?"

Judith-embarrassed says, "Hmm I can't remember all the details to what I did" "But I remember my mom got me an SUV which was super cool not going to lie." "My Dad bought me an ice cream cake and I went to dinner with my parents." "Yet, afterwards I took off with friends and we had our own mini-party you could say." "I blacked out after a few hours, but what I remember was super fun."

Joan-shocked, "Blacked Out?" "Judith you could have died."

Judith-brushing off Joan's comment says, "Joan it was my birthday" "I was with friends all was fine." "I don't need a lecture-trust me" "I just celebrated a little too much"

Judith-trying to change the subject says, "What did you do for your last birthday?"

Joan-remembering her last month of November and closes her eyes tightly for a second then opens them and says, "Oh, hmmm, yeah I didn't do anything except hide under my blankets in bed hoping not to ever go to school again." "You see I destroyed Adams art sculpture because I thought he was going to drop out of school." "Okay, not good reason I know." "Well the point is I got suspended from school for three days, and all my friends hated me." "So although my family got me a cake, and we had lasagna for dinner it was far from a joyous occasion."

Judith-laughing says, "Adam" "Boyfriend guy you miss and cry about…Adam"

Joan-"Yeap same Adam" "Maybe we should just drop this, I won't ask about your birthday you can leave me alone about mine."

Judith-"Oh, no way." "This doesn't make sense Joan, Why did you destroy his art?"

Joan-annoyed says, "I had a failure of imagination." "Okay drop it."

Judith-"Funny Joan, really, but honestly why destroy it?"

Joan-annoyed blurts out, "A hallucination told me too, said it would be a good idea." "okay now you know."

Joan-now on the verge of tears, realized what she just said and tried to eliminate future questions by adding "I see people-I have lime disease remember?" "Please Judith, leave me alone about it."

Judith-seeing the distress the situation was causing Joan, says, "Alright, Subject dropped." "I'm sorry for bringing it up." "Will you forgive me?"

Joan-nods her head and lets out a weak, "Yeah."

Judith-feeling the issue is settled adds happily, "Great, because we need to go canoeing next, and well I want a partner with some boat skills."

Joan-confused, "Boat Skills" "I have no boat skills" "What makes you think I have boat skills… especially in canoeing?"

Judith-trying to remember where she got the knowledge from says after a minute, "Your impact letter said you were building a boat in your garage." "I don't care if it was model boat or whatever; all I know is if I'm stuck on a lake all morning I would much rather have you as my partner than anyone else around here."

Joan-"Really?"

Judith-"Duh" "Come on already Joan, I want the only canoe with Seats in it- so my knees don't hurt lets go already."

Down by the lake both group Luna and Echo are putting on Personal Flotation Devices (P.F.D.'s), and breaking up in pairs for canoeing. Judith immediately found the canoe she liked best and stood by it with Joan. The counselors gave a quick tutorial on the different paddle strokes with an extra long part on the J-Stroke, and then told everyone the importance of wearing their lifejackets at all times, even though nobody should be going in the water.

After they were given the ok Judith and Joan were the first to push off from shore and start paddling into the middle of the lake. Once away from shore they looked at the other group's of people getting in the canoes. In one canoe was Brie with birthday girl Sarah. In the next boat was Vickie and Becky in control of paddling and an annoyed looking Annette sitting in the middle of the canoe. And last to leave the shore besides the counselors was Darlene and April the two largest girls at camp.

Judith-laughing at the last boat says, "Do you think our wonderful room mate is going to be able to keep that boat afloat Joan?"

Joan-knowing she was way out of earshot from anyone else joined in making fun of Darlene by saying, "I hope soo…Hair ball producing Cats..Yeah I bet they can't swim good at all."

Judith-laughing says, "Agree."

Judith-Once in the middle of the lake Judith stops paddling and says, "Not bad Joan" "You are by far the best canoe partner I have had here."

Joan-Now also taking her paddle out of the water and looking at the beautiful view around her says, "Thanks, maybe I should write that down on my list of things I'm good at for my stupid workbook."

Judith-"Joan the only reason they give you that workbook is so you never run out of things to do." "Nobody ever cares if you complete it-its just busy work- don't worry about it."

Joan-"True, but I think I will finish the workbook someday." "I think it is kind of fun to learn about myself." "As long as I'm not judged on my answers-its kind of interesting too look at my past."

Judith-"Speak for yourself." "My past is pure hell" "Even writing about it sucks"

Joan-curious asks, "Judith, why didn't you change after your first 2 summers here?" "Go home, start a new life."

Judith- "In the last 2 years my family switched my high school 4 times" "My parents feel it is a good way for me to maintain my GPA and keep me from becoming to good of friends with the miscreants I always tend to hang out with." "However, Joan have you ever even switched schools once, it sucks" "I'm a teenager how the hell am I suppose to learn without making mistakes?" My stupid psychologist parent's turn every mistake I have ever made into a big huge deal-I hate it."

Joan-"This was my first year at Arcadia High" "My family moved to Arcadia from Chicago, I totally understand how much it sucks moving."

Judith-"Well then you know how awkward it is trying to make new friends." "It is like all the good people are taken." "Clicks are already established" "And unless you have a special talent, or interest there really is no automatic spot for you to fit in at." "It is like mis-fit roulette one spin and that is who your friends will be" "And well I always tend to lose- bad luck I guess."

Joan-"True, my brother found science geek friends like his first day at Arcadia." "I didn't make good friends till I joined A.P. Chemistry and meet Grace and Adam." "Yet, my first appearances of them that day were this Adam kid is a stoner, and Grace was an angry lesbian carving up the lab table with a ruler." "I actually thought I would never be friends with them and was pissed to learn they were my lab partners."

Judith-"Really" "That was your first impression of your best friends?"

Joan-shrugs her shoulders and says, "Pretty Much"

Judith-curious asks, "What was your first impression of me?"

Joan-Nervous says, "Well you reminded me of Grace somewhat. I mean not like a lesbian carving a desk apart but like… " "You looked like you hated authority and would easily rebel against anything. You also seemed to be confident in who you were in life, but sarcastic enough to have fun." "And most importantly you looked like the most normal person in the whole cafeteria."

Judith-Laughing, "You thought I looked like the most normal person in the whole cafeteria." "Wow, Joan-where you hallucinating?"

Joan-"I don't think so" "Fine then, what was your first impression about me?"

Judith-cocks her head sideways and looks Joan in the eyes and says, "I thought you were in your own dream world, possibly still intoxicated or drugged from your last night of normal life." "You looked out of place, but friendly" "You looked normal but confused." "You looked surprisingly upbeat and yet really depressed all at the same time." "And I thought no way you would stick around to ever be my friend."

Judith-"Oh and me Virginia were annoyed you showed up when we were discussing where the cigarettes where hid." "That was the major thing on our minds when you came to sit with us."

Joan-"Did the counselors take all your cigarettes?" "When you got caught?"

Judith-"Would you turn me in if I said No?"

Joan-"I don't know."

Judith-"Well then I don't know either." "Virginia was the one who hid them." "I'm innocent in this case."

Joan-"Oh Crap, Judith we are totally drifting into the weeds."

Annette-sitting in the middle of a near by canoe starts laughing and yells-"Yo boat JOANITH" "You should Paddle now and then."

Judith-puts her paddle in shallow mucky lake weeds and tries to push off against the bottom of the lake with no luck.

Joan-Tries to put her paddle in the water but when she pulls it out brings a big blob of sea weed with it and some of it lands on Judith.

Judith-annoyed, "Joan, Ewhhh Gross lets keep the sea weed out of the boat"

Joan-picking the sea weed up off the side of the boat and putting it back in the water says "Sorry, I didn't mean too I just feel kind of dizzy at the moment"

Vickie-not sure if both Joan and Judith were in the same boat but deciding most likely it was the case as the two seemed inseparable now a days uses the same saying Annette used, "Hey boat Joanith" "You guys stuck?" "Do you need any help?"

Annette-"Vickie, let the Joanith Boat Struggle."

Becky-ignoring Annette says to her partner Vickie, "Yeah maybe we should go help them out we are the closest boat to them at the moment."

Judith-continuing to try and push off is making some progress of getting away from shore but is still about 3 feet into large amounts of sea weed, and the wind is keeping their canoe in about the same location.

Joan-feeling slightly out of it now says "What should I do to help" "We are totally stuck Judith" "Crap I lost my paddle"

Judith-"Joan, how deep is the water by you?"

Joan-with her world starting to spin replies, "I don't know about a foot or so" "But there are tons of weeds and muck I'm not sure if it is the true bottom or not." "I stirred up the water a lot too-Wow look at all the cool swirls in the water"

Judith-rolls up her red sweat pants passed her knees and jumps out of the canoe into the water thinking the water is shallow as the canoe is only 10 feet from a tree and brushy filled shore.

Judith-sinks down into the muck almost 4 feet even with a life jacket on and yells "Fuck" "Joan Help?" "I'm stuck"

Annette-as Vickie and Becky paddle their canoe a few feet away Annette Laughing, "HA HA Judith is going to die in muck" "Boat Joanith has reached a Game Over doo doo doommmm"

Becky-looks around and notices the counselor boat with Amy and Emily are about 50 feet away and yells, "Hey Emily, Could you please come here and help?"

Judith-freaks out and tries to scream as she attempts to pull her arms free but instead gets a bunch of dirty water in her mouth and sea weed wrapped around her life jacket and arms even more.

Joan-starts to freak out, and goes to reach out her hand towards Judith and says, "Judith grab my hand" "Wooowhooo my fingers look so weird right now, like they are growing and bending"

Judith- confused with Joan's sudden personality change says, "Joan, I'm trying but can't seem to raise my arms, and my feet are completely stuck."

Becky-getting annoyed with Annette's comments says, "Shut Up Annette this is serious" "Emily and Amy are almost here maybe they can help us figure it out." "Joan, Judith you just need to stay calm."

Joan-as Joan looked at Judith she suddenly started to see the water around her have a metallic blue, and green mixed into the brown it was before. Then she sees Judith's face morph into her brother Kevin.

Judith/Looking like Kevin-"Joan I can't feel my legs anymore?"

Joan-hallucinating thinks it really is Kevin and says, "Kevin you are paralyzed you haven't felt your legs in years."

Annette-"Wow, Joan is going loony for sure"

Judith-freaks out and says, "JOAN, it is me! Judith! What is wrong with you?"

Emily-confused at what to help sort out first says, "Joan, Judith are you both alright?"

Becky-keeps paddling her canoe although it is difficult with the wind blowing the boats towards shore, and the weeds starting to get thicker.

Judith-bewildered says, "Joan, I need you to grab on to me, Please grab onto my life jacket, and help pull me up."

Annette-to Emily sarcastically says, "Oh yah Joan is hallucinating, and Judith is covered in Muck really there is no need to help they are doing just fine."

Emily-"Joan grab on to Judith-we can drag the canoes back and pull you out of the weeds."

Joan-still looking at Kevin who is now covered in black muck says, "Who is Judith, Kevin? "Kevin Ewhh you smell bad." "I'm glad you and dad finished the boat and all but really Kevin why are you in the water? You know being paralyzed you can't swim?" "Here I'll help you back in the boat."

Joan-wraps her leg around one of the cross bars in the middle of the canoe, and leans over the side of the canoe to help pull Judith out of the muck. The Canoe now on its side starts to fill with water, but some how with a loud "BLURPPP" in the water Joan was able to move Judith enough for her to be able to get her legs free, and then Judith grabbed onto Joan with her now free but sea weed covered arms.

Vickie-grabbed the other side of the Joanith canoe in order to have the canoe stop filling with water. Vickie says, "Becky keep paddling or we will be stuck too soon"

Judith-confused completely grabs on to Joan's arm and kicks her leg off a log on the bottom of the lake and propels both boats about 5 feet further from shore and almost entirely out of the weeds

Joan-with the sudden movement in the boat gets really dizzy and confused as everything starts to spin and colors blend together. Before Joan faints she grabs onto Kevin harder and says, "Kevin I don't feel soooo good." Then lets go of Judith/Kevin.

Judith-freaking out but free from the sea weed yells "Joan…Joan…Joan!"

Judith-grabs on the side of the canoe as she watches Joan fall over in the middle of the canoe and is lying in a pool of water.

Emily-acting swiftly bends down and pulls out a rope from under her seat, and says, "Vickie grab this rope and tie Joan's boat to mine."

Vickie-does what is asked and ties the boats together, and says, "Joan! Joan?... Joan has passed out it looks like?"

Judith-"Becky hold the other side of our canoe so I can jump back in."

Becky-grabs onto the Joanith Canoe and says, "Alright I got it, jump in."

Amy-"Judith watch out for Joan, and pull her up to a sitting position once you are inside your boat."

Judith-nods her head to show she understands and props herself up and gets inside of the canoe, she then pulls Joan up to sitting position in the middle of the canoe, and looks at her friend in complete confusion. "Joan, Joan, Wake up!"

Amy-"Judith it is ok Joan just fainted she should come too shortly." "Lets head back to shore though it will be easier to deal with things there."

Becky-now helping to paddle back to shore says, "Judith why did you jump out of the boat?"

Judith- feeling guilty and at fault for Joan's behavior says "I thought the water was only a foot deep I didn't know Joan was freaking out until I was in the water already."

"Oh my gosh I'm a horrible friend"

Annette-completely indifferent about the situation says, "Well yeah Judith, but that is a given."

Amy-getting annoyed with Annette's behavior says, "Annette that is enough" "If you want to judge other peoples behavior and actions fine but start with yourself." "Just stay silent until we get back to shore we should be there in about a minute."

Joan-goes from passed out fainted to dizzy and highly disoriented asks, "What happened?"

Judith-happy to see her friend was back says, "Oh my God you are back-Thank God!"

Joan-confused says, "God was here?" "Judith you saw him?"

Judith-looks at Joan lost for words to respond says, "Joan…you just passed out a few minutes ago-you were calling me Kevin? Do you remember that?"

Joan-weakly says, "What? Wait What Happened?" "You didn't see God?" "Are you God? Blink once if you know what I mean?"

Judith-confused "Blink once?" "Joan I think you are still out of it" "I'm glad we are back at shore you are really scaring me at the moment."

Both Luna and Echo groups where now back on shore as they realized a situation had occurred. Everyone was now closely watching Joan as though she was a bizarre science project that could explode at any moment.

Amy-"Judith, Joan, Annette, Vickie, Becky I would like to talk to you all over here under the tree for a second."

Christy-walks over to join in the discussion as most of the girls were from Luna and says, "Joan I need you to drink some water-take this."

Amy-"Okay Judith explain first off why did you jump out of the canoe?" "Second when did you notice Joan start acting strange?"

Joan-"Acting strange? Huh?" "Judith why are you covered in Muck?"

Judith-feeling blamed for the encounter says, "It wasn't my fault really" "I was trying to get the canoe unstuck, and Joan was fine until I was in the water."

Judith-looked over at a confused disoriented Joan and didn't know what to think about the situation. All she knew was she didn't want to be blamed for it, and hoped Joan would be better soon because watching Joan hallucinate was in no way fun.

Joan-trying to remember what happened let out weakly, "Judith you jumped out of the canoe?"

Christy-feeling she was getting nowhere with this approach says, "Joan come with me" "I'll take you to the medical staff, hold on to me for support" "We can ask you questions later once you have laid down for a bit."

Amy-"Good idea Christy" "I'll finish up here and then have Judith go take a shower, she smells horrible."

Christy-"Excellent" and took Joan to the medical staff.

Once inside a room full of first aid supplies the medical staff looked at Joan kind of confused about the encounter, but gave her some more water and medicine. They also took a blood test in order to help make sure her symptoms where not a sign of a major relapse. Joan complained slightly about having to get poked with a needle but realized if it was for safety she let the medical staff do what they needed too in order to help her be safe. After the blood test Joan got to lie down to rest. Although they let Joan rest for the next few hours the medical staff woke her up every so often to check on her status.

Joan-had many nightmares but only remembered fragments of different God appearances and when she finally woke up she couldn't figure out a message or any meaning to any of them. After laying awake for a bit Joan saw Dr. Mike sitting in the room writing something.

Dr. Mike-"Nice to see you again Joan." "Dr. Dan is out of camp today, but I thought it would be wise to take some notes for him on how you sleep." "It appears you are still having nightmares is that why you look freaked out right now?"

Joan-slightly still out of it says, "Actually I don't remember the dreams to much right now, but I am kind of hungry" "Why am I in here?"

Dr. Mike-"Good to hear you are hungry, you missed Lunch a few hours ago, I got you a sack lunch incase you were hungry when you woke up." "I also brought you your journal for you to write in." "When I talked to Dr. Dan earlier on the phone he said it would be best for you to probable stay here and journal on the recent events instead of going back to your group." "So the plan is for you to stay in here till dinner with me."

Joan-takes the journal and lunch from Dr. Mike and says, "Thanks"

Dr. Mike-"Joan, do you feel ok at the moment?"

Joan-starting to eat a sandwich nods her head

Dr. Mike-"Okay Joan eat your lunch, and if you want to talk to me feel free." "If you don't I understand and you can discuss stuff with Dr. Dan tomorrow in therapy."

Joan-decided to eat her lunch and not say anything to Dr. Mike. Once Joan finished the lunch she pulled out the journal and wrote what little she did remember about the canoeing encounter down. She also wrote about how she seemed to have nightmares but couldn't remember them.

Dr. Mike-after a few hours of Joan not saying anything asks, "Joan, it is almost dinner time now, do you want to discuss anything?" "Do you feel alright with the idea of going to dinner in the cafeteria?" "How are you feeling at the moment?"

Joan-happy she wasn't asked a million question for the last few hours but allowed to just journal says, "I think I would love to go to dinner in the cafeteria" "Can I go right now?"

Dr. Mike-"If you feel up to it, Yes you should go eat dinner now."

Joan-getting up quickly in hopes of not being asked anymore questions says, "Great, bye"

Dr. Mike-"Alright Joan" "Enjoy your dinner"

Once Joan walks in the cafeteria she notices all the girls staring at her and bent over in whispers. Joan feeling uncomfortable with the awkward stares grabs some chicken parmesan and goes to sit by Judith.

Judith-looks skeptically at Joan, and says, "So Joan, looks like your stunt at the lake is getting you some attention." "Do you feel alright now?"

Joan-knowing the question was coming says, "Yeah I took a nice nap this afternoon and think I'm feeling better now."

Judith-impatiently asks, "Joan, you called me Kevin at the Lake" "What happened?"

Joan-now still as confused as she was before says, "I'm not sure" "I remember getting the canoe stuck in the weeds." "I remembered seeing colors form in the water, and my fingers growing, and then nothing." "I seemed to black out till I was back on shore." "What did you see?"

Judith-"I saw you freak out Joan" "I jumped in the water to get the boat unstuck, and you seemed to lose it." "You thought I was your brother Kevin" "You said something about wondering if I was God, or Seeing God- which was really weird" "Oh and you seemed to think we were in the boat Kevin and your dad made." "Then you fainted."

Joan-just stares at Judith taking in what she just said

Judith-after a few minutes of silence asks, "Joan has this been how all your hallucinations have been in the past?"

Joan-now getting scared, as she knows the answer to Judith's question but didn't really want to think about it, shakes her head and says, "No, this experience seems different?"

Judith-"Joan, you really scared me at the lake today." "The way you freaked out" "I mean I have seen people on drugs before freak out, but today at the lake, I honestly don't know what to say."

Joan-scared but looks Judith in the eyes and says, "Judith, I don't know what to say either" "I had like no control over myself at the lake, and worse yet I fainted and don't remember all the details." "I really hope this don't happen again."

Judith-trying to lighten the moods says, "Okay, it is settled then no more hallucinating for you now, got it?"

Joan-"Yeah, good idea-got it" "I'll work on that" "Judith tell me a story or something" "My mind needs a break from trying to process this morning."

Judith-tries to think of something to share with Joan that would be happy, upbeat, or just plan dorky, but realizes her life doesn't have a whole lot of these types of memories. In fact it makes Judith sad when she realizes she couldn't think of any good times from home. Finally Judith pulls out her workbook and turns to question number 58 What would be your perfect day and reads her answer she wrote down a few days ago.

Judith reads-My perfect day. I would love to have a future where Joan is my best friend. Me and Joan could spend all day walking around the mall, drinking smoothies, and sharing stories. It would be like camp, but without the therapy aspect, and with no body watching our every move. We would be free to do what we want. Nobody would think we where crazy, no body would blame us for our past problems, we could just enjoy the moment and be happy to be alive. After spending all day at the mall, I wouldn't have to go home, but I could live at Joan's house for the night as we have a sleep over and act like normal teenage girls. My mom and dad would love me, and trust me again, but also respect me enough to let me just be.

Judith-finishes reading and looks over at Joan who is now crying.

Joan-between sobs says, "I can't believe I'm in your perfect day."

Judith-looks Joan in the eyes and says, "I have only known you for under 2 weeks and I think your life is perfect Joan." "I don't care if you act strange now and then, you are special and I hope stay that way."

Joan-shakes her head and while sobbing says, "Judith I don't think you have an accurate picture- my life is not perfect" "I wish it was perfect, but truth is my life is one mess and failure after another." "And if that isn't enough I'm crazy and hallucinate stuff that isn't there."

Judith-goes and gives Joan a big hug and says, "Crazy or not Joan I still think you are perfect the way you are."

Joan-just accepts the hug and cries harder not knowing what to say.

Judith-lets go of Joan, and says, "Joan, eat up, because you will be happy to know we don't have a therapy circle tonight." "We are having Pet therapy tonight instead."

Joan-thrilled to know she won't have to answer questions about earlier says, "Pet Therapy what will that entail?"

Judith-"The last 2 years it was the same, but it was cool to see the dogs they bring in." "This guy brings in 2 dogs and talks about the importance of discipline, and boundaries while training dogs." "There is a conversation about how Dogs can make you feel better, and can sense your emotions and calm you down." "It's actually one of the better therapy's sessions I think because after his little talk he lets everyone play with and pet the dogs."

Joan-"Huh, That don't sound so bad." "I actually really like dogs" "Cats I can't stand, and would totally never get one" "Yet, Dogs I mean I have never had one but I still tend to like them a lot this should be fun."

Joan, and Judith finish eating, and Joan goes to take a shower, while Judith who is already clean lies in their bedroom for a while thinking about the day. Soon Joan and Judith are both sitting in their normal seats in group therapy with the rest of Luna waiting for the Pet Therapy Guy to show up. Most of the group is eyeing Joan suspiciously, but nobody says a word.

Joan-watches as a familiar old guy walks in with two dogs on a leash into the therapy room. Joan starts to freak out when she realizes it is her neighbor from home, and isn't sure if it is or isn't God yet, but either way the memories of This Guy with these Dogs makes Joan break down in tears and start hyperventilating with a panic attack.

Christy-confused says, "Joan, what is wrong?"

Joan-looks at the Dog therapy guy and says, "No…I'm sooo done with you" "I told you no-please leave me the hell alone."

Christy-stands up to intercede between Joan and the Therapy Guy as she feels Joan is being rude and doesn't understand why. She looks at the therapy guy and says, "I'm sorry for Joan acting this way." Then looks at Joan and says, "Joan, what is wrong? " "Do you know this guy? Because well you seem kind of out of it are you okay?"

Joan-ignoring Christy as she looks at the Dog Therapy guy says, "Seriously, why are you here?" "You have billions of people you could bother and yet again you choose me."

Dog Therapy Guy-confused as he is not god says, "Joan, I understand it may be weird for me to be here as I'm your neighbor but honestly I had no idea you would be here today?"

Joan-with tears of angry streaming down her face says, "Neighbor!" "Who are you now Will Rogers? Because I'm done…. I am sooo not going to be your neighbor, or your helper, or you friend or whatever the heck you want to call me"…. "Oh and don't play that whole denial crap with me." "You didn't know I would be here-Oh yeah because it is always someone else who sends me to places I don't want to be."

Judith-confused says, "Joan!" "Joan leave the guy alone already"

Joan-Yelling now "Guy?" "I wish this was a normal Guy!" "Oh No this GUY-doesn't exist, nope he is a figment of my imagination." "Yeap that is all I refuse to acknowledge he exists"

Judith-puzzled, "Joan the Dog therapy guy you are freaking out on is totally real." "I can see him as clear as you, me, and everyone else in Luna."

Dog Therapy Guy- "Joan!" "Maybe you should just relax and take a break from life from a bit."

Joan-still yelling and crying at the Therapy Guy says, "Oh really take a break" "Take a Fucken Break he says" "Is this why you sent me here to Gentle Acres? To Relax and take a break-God I hate you."

Dog Therapy Guy-"Joan" "I didn't send you here" "What is wrong with you right now?" "It would be really good idea if you would just listen to yourself right now."

Joan-looking closely at the Dog Therapy God realizes she just flipped out on a normal guy, not only a normal guy but one of her neighbors who could easily tell her parents about the encounter when he gets home. Joan then says embarrassed with huge tears rolling down her face, "Sorry, I thought you were someone else."

Joan-catches a glimpse at the rest of her group and the stunned looks on everyone's faces and decides to leave the room right then and there to avoid answering questions. She quickly runs out of the therapy room and back to her bed room where she throws herself in her bed and cries relentlessly in her pillow.

Christy-who followed Joan back to her room enters and sits down in a chair by Joan's bed and says, "Hey Joan it is okay to freak out now and then, but you need to let people know what is going on, everyone is here to help you."

Joan-hard to hear as she didn't lift her head from her pillow says, "I know people want to help, but how can they?" "I am not blaming you, or anyone else for not trying but really how can you help?" "Nobody can honestly stop me from seeing things." "Nobody can help me stop having nightmares." "Nobody can even really understand what I see, and how it makes me feel." "If you want to help, give me some hard core medicine that will knock me out and let me go to sleep because today has been hell, and I just want it to be over."

Christy-pulls out Joan's medicine and says, "Here Joan, you can take your medicine now." "I agree maybe this will help you most right now, take it."

Joan-gulps down her medicine then goes back to lying in her pillow and mumbles "Thanks." "Christy, can I just go to sleep now, please." "I really don't want to go back to the group right now, please don't make me."

Christy-nods her head and says, "You don't have to back to the group tonight." "If you want you can even sleep in another room." "Do you want to change rooms for the night?"

Joan-shakes her head in her pillow, "I just want to sleep right here, right now."

Christy-looks at Joan and says, "That is fine with me." "However, in about an hour Judith and Darlene will be in your room and may wake you up." "If you are ok with this then by all means, I'll let you lie down and sleep."

Joan-thinks crap, I bet Judith will come in and ask me tons of questions. Joan bangs her head up and down on her pillow about 4 times then says, "I changed my mind I want to sleep in the other room."

Christy-"Okay lets go there now then, and I'll let you sleep."

Joan-follows Christy to another bedroom and lies down on the bed and says, "Good Night"

Christy-looks skeptically at Joan and says, "Sleep well Joan, I hope you don't have any nightmares as it seems you already had an interesting enough day." "Good Night"
