Papa John's, Planetary, and Lucid

[Crap. Either I didn't fully write this one down, or a good part of it got eaten by my computer at some point. And this was one of the few that I could still remember fairly vividly once I started reading it, too!]

I started out in Papa John's, and I was having some trouble because we had gotten in some new toppings, and I don't think I knew where they were when someone ordered them. They were orange slices (more like sections, I guess), shrimp, and scallops. Natalie (from Papa John's) and I were looking for them and couldn't find them, so I called up Mike (the manager), and he came and helped me find them.

We went to the cooler, and there were all these shelves of stuff. We found the orange slices, along with the "new" beef. The new beef was kept in single serving plastic containers that were shaped like little cream colored cows. To get the beef out, you had to twist off the head and dump it out the neck. After this, stalks of corn started showing up around the store. They kept showing up more and more until finally it was like I was in a field and it wasn't Papa John's anymore. I started walking a little ways, and eventually Natalie and I showed up at my parents' house [end]

Timewarp

I was at or around my parents house in VA, and I had done something strange, such as somehow jumped into some sort of alternate time because of some event I had witnessed or changed. I thought it was something fairly small, and so I didn't worry about it too much.

Then I ended up talking to Sarah on the phone. I mentioned the time thing to her, and she had no idea what I meant. I didn't really expect her to, but then I said something to her about our relationship, and she didn't know anything about that, either. I was surprised, and I realized that my going back and changing whatever event it was had made it so that we had never gotten together as a couple, but just as friends. I told her that, and I think she asked me if it felt strange. I told her that it did, and my mind was racing to try to figure out how to change it back, if I could at all.

I think before all of this, there was something about seeing my little brothers as babies again. I think that had to do with what I altered, although I can't remember what it was that I did. Then the next thing I remember is something about being at work, and I was getting ready to close down the store (Papa John's) and I had two drivers there to help me out. One was John, but I don't remember who the other one was. I asked them if they wanted me to make a pizza for us to split, and to my surprise, John said okay and told me the toppings he wanted. (which were pepperoni, sausage, and bacon) The other guy wasn't quite sure what he wanted. So while he was thinking, I took them to another store (kind of like as if it was in the mall or something) and had them to start with rearranging the freezer area for shut down.
