I started out driving around in Harrisonburg, and I think I had a couple of friends with me. I remember going around through several stoplights and heading downtown.
Somehow during my trek between the mall area and downtown, I no longer had my car, but I was on a bike, I think. I remember going faster and faster down a hill and across several streets, and I was passing several people who were walking, and it seems that I may have even jumped over a couple of them as I got towards the bottom and hit the places where the street and the sidewalk met at those little "ramps". I was slightly worried about leaving my friends behind, but I knew that they'd just catch up with me.
Finally I got to where I was going, which was a theater downtown. When I got there, there were several people standing around outside, and Stephen (friend from school) and whoever was with him finally caught up to me. We went inside to see what movies were playing. We had been wanting to see a movie, but we didn't know which ones were playing. I remember almost running in, following behind Stephen. We passed the ticket counter, which was this huge walled in area in the middle of this really big room, and we went looking at all the posters. Finally we decided on the one that had Chris Farley and David Spade in it. Sometime during all of this I saw Scott (best friend from elementary school), too, but I didn't get a chance to say anything to him.
Finally we got into the theater and sat down, and I think that Stephen and "the other guy" were sitting behind me, and I was kind of in a row by myself. The movie started up, and it started out as something about Chris's father had this sort of dirt mound looking hut that he (Chris) was supposed to take care of. This thing was kind of out in some sort of hot looking dirt field, almost as if it was in Texas or New Mexico. Then Chris and David met up, and the next thing I know, they're going around in some town doing stupid stuff. (just like in their movies, I guess).
Anyway, they didn't seem to be getting along very well, and at one point, they were supposed to be doing something about picking each others nose. I think that they were supposed to do it at the same time, but one or the other kept goofing up, or was purposely trying to do it differently, and so they ended up getting mad at each other. David started walking away from Chris, and Chris was following him, and then David ended up falling into this little hole in the street that was about a foot across and was full of water. When he fell in, Chris jumped down to try to save him, but he couldn't.
They were doing some strange stuff with the camera views at this point, almost as if we were supposed to be seeing this from David's view, and I even remember the camera being down in the water looking up towards the hole, and Chris was there reaching down into the water to try to help him out. It was almost like David was purposely trying to not let him help or something. During this scene, I remember feeling like holding my breath, and I was thinking that was kind of funny because I wasn't even in the movie, but it made me feel that way.
After the scene was over, I heard several people in the theater gasp for breath because they had been holding their breath, too, and I heard several laughs and some murmuring going on after it because they thought it was funny and cool how the movie made us all do that. Right after this part, I started looking through a book that I had with me. I had this thing that was like a black Lego block that was about 12 sections long, and I was placing it over the columns of letters in the book to shift them over to fix how the book was printed. It was like I could push down on the Lego piece, and it would "click" into place and I could slide all the letters under it over as far as I needed. It turned out that it only needed to go over one space, but I had to do this with several columns.
As I was working on the last page, (and the last page was really messed up for some reason) I noticed that there was a girl sitting next to me in the row, and I think she said something to me, and I started watching the movie again. (it wasn't like she told me to put the stuff away and watch the movie. Whatever it was that she said was "cute and funny" and it was almost like it made it so that I couldn't concentrate on what I was doing anymore, so I had no choice as to whether or not to watch the movie)
Anyway, it was the end of the movie, and David was sitting on this mound that had belonged to Chris's father. He was either reading or writing something, and Chris was standing near by. They were talking just a little bit, and it had turned out that David HAD gone into that hole on purpose to get away from Chris. Chris was talking to him to try to convince him to be his friend again, but David wouldn't do it. Chris finally let him go about it and left, so the movie ended on a sad note.
Then everyone in the theater got up and was leaving, and I was trying to get a glimpse at the girl that had spoken to me during the movie, but I didn't want her to catch me gawking or anything. She had short (shorter than mine, but not "boy cut") dark hair, and she wasn't super model thin, but she wasn't fat, either. She was just kind of average in size. I was trying to get a look at her face, but for some reason I found it terribly difficult to.
As we were leaving the theater, we ended up in the main corridor of the mall, and there were all these desks set up, and everyone had to take a seat there. I don't think that there were enough desks, and so some people had to stand. I felt that I knew what we were going to do, but I can't really think of what it might have been. I was just looking for a seat or a place to stand just as the dream ended.
