Chapter Twelve: The Dream

Conan was having trouble sleeping. He was tossing and turning to the point were he almost fell off the bed.

"Where am I?" Conan asked. He was in some dark place that he'd never been in before. When he heard somebody call his name.

"Jimmy! Jimmy where are you?" the voice called out. Conan recognized the voice immediately.

"Rachel where are you?" he called out. He felt a shining light on his back. It was so warm and peaceful. When he turned around he saw Rachel shining in a beautiful light. It was such a pretty sight that it took his breath away. "Rachel where are we?" he asked.

"We're in your mind." She replied.

"In my mind? What are you talking about? There's nothing here." He said.

"That's because you're confused. You've been Conan for so long you don't know who you are anymore. Who are you Conan or Jimmy?" she asked.

"Jimmy!" he screamed but Rachel shook her head no.

"How can you be Jimmy and Conan at the same time? You need to choose. You're either Jimmy or Conan." Rachel said.

At that Conan sighed. This was making sense to him. He'd been acting like Conan for so long he wasn't even sure who he really was anymore. He wanted to be Conan to avoid getting attacked by the men in black but he also wanted to be Jimmy so he could please Rachel. He made a decision. He looked up at Rachel.

"Who are you?" she said once again.

"I'm Jimmy. I can't hide it anymore Rachel. I'm so sorry. I made you suffer over me for a long time. For too long a time. So I'm not going to hide it anymore. I can't watch you cry over me anymore." Conan said. With that he suddenly realized that he had turned back into Jimmy. When he looked at Rachel he noticed she was smiling and he knew why. Rachel ran to him and kissed him on the lips. She pulled away after a short period of time.

"I'm glad you're back." She said and faded out of his loving arms.

"Rachel!" he called but no answer. With that Conan shot up in his bed. He was drenched with sweat. "Oh man. Now I've really got to tell Rachel." He told himself going back to sleep.
