Gwen's POV
Slowing waking this morning I felt really groggy. I was in such a deep sleep that I actually had a dream. As I concentrated hard I tried piecing it back together in my mind but I just couldn't. I was able to hold onto a few tidbits here and there but nothing truly significant.
Lets see… Huey was in it. And Jasmine too. Perhaps it was a subconscious account for the last few days? No, for whatever reason I couldn't recall the lemonade stand whatsoever in it. I do recall the snow though, and jasmine wearing Huey's scarf.
I think they were standing huddled together too; his arm around her shoulder and her standing close to him. I don't know why, but the thought, that picture, didn't sit well with me. Uh, whatever. I shook my head to clear the haze and shake off this weird feeling I've been having.
Getting up off the bed I got changed. I could assume it would be cold today so I put on a pair of black jeans and a baby-doll tank top over a tight fitted long sleeved crop top. The baby-doll was a purple, white, and black abstract swirl design; whereas the crop was a simple white.
I looked to my calendar to make sure I wasn't forgetting anything. Oh! Today is the meeting to arrange the trip to visit Shabazz. I'll be willing to bet jasmine didn't take her job seriously. I made my way to my house to make a backup in case jasmine screws things up on us.
Looking through my magazines I found a more recent 'Life' magazine. I also figured I'd grab my older 'Insider' and 'People' magazines, just in case. I decided to make assorted cookie bites for the baked goods.
Thinking about the snack I decided to make chilled drinks of 5 different flavors as well as pack some fruit and granola bars for the trip. The drinks would be blueberry mango Tea, Strawberry kiwi Tea, lemon lime juice, raspberry lemonade, as well as a simple honey tea with a splash of lemon.
It took me nearly 3 hours to finish the work and, looking at the clock, I felt it prudent to hurry so I wouldn't be late to the meeting. I ran to the room and quickly sat down just before Huey finished writing on the chalkboard.
"Ok, so this meeting of the executive board of the committee to free Shabazz K. Miltenburo has now officially commenced. Let's see now… Attendance. All in attendance say here." Jasmine spoke first, raising her hand high as she said "Here." Then proceeded to raise her doll's hand and spoke a 'here' for the doll. I rolled my eyes.
"Jasmine, Mrs. Willington isn't a member on this board." I raised two fingers in a waving gesture saying "Here." as well. Huey continued. "Now, first item on the agenda; Our planned trip tomorrow to visit our illegally imprisoned brother and offer him moral support.
Have we assembled the reading material and baked goods for brother Shabazz?" "Check." Jasmine spoke as we both turned our attention to her. "I have the latest edition of 'Highlights' and 2 ½ fig newtons." I face palmed; I knew she wouldn't take it seriously. "2 ½?" Huey asked. "Mrs. Willington got hungry." I started shaking my head as this point.
"As much as I'm sure Shabazz would like some fig newtons, I don't think he'd be happy with your leftovers." I stood up and lifted the cookie bites and magazines I brought out of my bag to show. "I decided to bake some cookie bites and prepare three magazines in case jasmine half-a$$ed this." I sat back down having completed what I had to say.
