The alarm wakes you up, your dream still fresh in your memory. You've seen it many times before, but instead of affirming your feelings for your now ex-girlfriend, it only seems to remind you of how you fucked it all up.
It wasn't the same as always, though, and as much as you hate it, you should probably talk to Rose about it. All her fussing and meddling about your dreams can be frustrating, but she's good at it. You'll try to keep from telling her what happened last night. That's not the path you want to go down right now.
You grab a shirt and walk over to your computer. She's online.
Just play it cool.

TG: hey
TG: hey rose
TG: hey
TG: i guess youre off somewhere
TG: probably putting on your face or whatever
TG: meanwhile ill just be here chilling all by myself as usual
TG: gonna pop open this bag of chips and chow down
TG: im watching its a wonderful life except im george bailey
TG: its me
TG: and theres no ghost
TG: so instead im visited by your stone cold silence and visions of how the world would be better off without me
TG: ok but i seriously wanted to talk to you about something here
TG: i mean i would talk to john instead if i could but hes never available in the morning youre literally my only option right now
TG: not to mention the guys dumb as a doornail sometimes
TG: oh my god
TG: i am literally begging you to come over here and open that can of pseudo intellectual psychobabble spouting flesh eating worms
TG: just dump them all over my face god knows i deserve it
TG: rose
TG damn it.
TG: how long does it take to put on lipstick and spread some powder on your face
TG: are you speaking to the elder gods in there
TG: we all know youre into chtulhu
TG: cthulhu? whatever doesnt matter either way
TT: Hello
TG: oh jesus its a miracle
TT: What's this about you wanting to talk to me?
TG: i had that dream again and i felt like you should know
TG: being my unofficial dream analyzer
TT: I thought you were sick of me prodding into the deepest recesses of your mind, not that you have to go all that deep to find the blatant homoeroticism in nearly everything you say.
TG: yeah well its the same damn dream weve talked it to death already not much more you can pick out of it
TT: Just so we're clear, this is the dream about the, hold on let me check my notes.
TT: Something about thousands of individual phallic symbols?
TG: yeah exactly
TG: the one where the flying tentacle dicks just ram themselves into my mouth one after the other
TG: they just cant contain themselves the frisky little bastards
TG: then i guess your mom shows up cuz apparently thats one of my things?
TG: thanks to your weird conspiracy theory about us being related or some shit
TG: then freud and oedipus climb out of their fucking graves and play a nice friendly game of chess on my back
TG: every piece is shaped like an erect dick by the way
TG: whenever one gets removed from the board they just shove it up my ass
TG: does that about cover all my bases?
TT: I failed to pick up on any traces of your inferiority complex.
TG: right bro shows up at some point too and basically just flaunts all his cool irony in my face cuz we all know i can never be as successful in life much less with romantic relationships
TT: Ah, and there we have it, it seems.
TG: fuck
TT: You and Terezi broke up?
TG: goddammit
TG: yeah we broke up but thats not what i wanted to say
TG: at least not directly
TG: the point was that i had the same dream again but it ended earlier than usual
TT: And what exactly was the cut off point?
TG: well so it went along exactly the same as always but then right before she smooched me instead of having my grand resurrection i just woke up
TT: Do you think it has something to do with your break up?
TG: yeah that was my amateur assumption
TG: like we already dissected this beast and cut it up into little pieces and figured out everything i think
TG: and i dont think figuring out the meaning behind this change should be all too fucking hard considering the circumstances
TG: but i thought it might be a good idea to consult you in case there was something in your books that mentions very specifically that the change means that im actually a dolphin or something
TG: i dont know
TT: Well you should be glad to know that I'm pretty sure you're still a hominid of some sort.
TT: As for the meaning, it's very likely that you are correct with your assumptions.
TT: Your lack of 'payoff' probably means that you feel like your initial sacrifice was in vain, so to say.
TT: You sacrifice yourself knowing that she can and will bring you back with a kiss, but she doesn't.
TT: I can't say I know how exactly your split happened, but am I to assume it wasn't very positive?
TG: you could say that
TT: Then that would probably indeed be the case. You may feel betrayed, let down, perhaps? You expected her to be there for you and she wasn't. Is that about what you were thinking?
TG: yeah i guess
TT: Well that pretty much covers that, I guess. Maybe you should look more into dream analysis, it's not completely lost on you.
TG: yeah id love to pick apart the dicks in my own dreams then afterwards maybe i can find out what the fuck is going on in your fucked up mind
TT: Yes, perhaps so.
TT: But I believe it is about time for the both of us to get ready. It is a Monday, you know.
TG: yeah yeah let me just grab my fucking panties
TT: Lovely. And Dave.
TG: yeah
TT: I'm sorry about Terezi, really. Meager words may not be of help to you but it is the best I can muster at the moment, so I do hope they offer at least some comfort.
TT: Though, how you expected to be able to tell me about your dream without me figuring that out I'll never know
TG: yeah bad plan maybe but thanks
TT: I'll see you at school.
TG: sure bye
