Just cruising with Johnny Depp.

I was in town with my mum. We walked into the hairdressers (which looked much like Toni and Guy) and at one of the work stations, we saw a sign about a missing pair of curlers - much like the ones you used to see of missing children on milk bottles. Tucked between the mirror, was the pair of curlers in question. My mum picked them up but was abruptly halted by a hairdresser "Are you stealing my curling tongs?!" She argued. "No!" My mum said. "I was just reading the sign!" She continued. "Well," said the girl "They have been found now and I don't want them to be stolen again!" And with that, we both walked out. We then walked into Costa Coffee and I recognised that I knew the two girls sat chatting in the corner - they were my friends from school (Ash and Sophie). I felt offended that they had met up without me - how dare they?! And, to top it all off, it looked as though they were having a whale of a time. They looked over at me and suddenly I felt very small and insecure. I started to panic because I hadn't put my mascara on. "Have you got any mascara?" I asked my mum in a panic. I rummaged through my mum's makeup bag to find an old mascara that looked like it hadn't been used in 15 years. As I coated my lashes they grew thicker and thicker... "I look ridiculous!" I thought, but I kept on applying it over and over ...until I ended up looking like Mr Snuffleupagas from Sesame Street - eyelashes so heavy, I could barely see my way around the place. Meanwhile, my mum had changed her mind about meeting up on Saturday and said that she could only do Friday now. In a huff, I said "Fridays fine!" When I stepped back amongst the tables, I was so ashamed, I avoided my friends and made a beeline for the door. Next scene; I was at home and Mat was in bed sleeping. The bedroom was dark and I had to put my make up on in record time (otherwise I'd be late for the school run) I started rummaging through my make up bag, trying to find the right foundation shade, but it went on my face like diluted paint. "Argh!" I groaned "it's too damn dark!" Then mat tried to help me. "Can you contour my cheeks?" I asked him. "Yes sure! Which powder do you use?" But it was too late, he'd already applied this "clown" like attempt at makeup. "It'll have to do!" I sighed. Next scene; Kylie and I were in a charity shop, but I only had £2 to spend. I wanted to go on an awesome looking ride but it was way too expensive, so I thought I'd try my luck in the charity shop instead. I remember rumaging through a basket of TY beanie baby toys, but they were all too expensive. But then I found a pink stress ball - one that I vividly remember from my childhood. "I'll get this for Phoebe!" I thought. But when I put the package on the counter, it had turned into a rock. "She's going to think why have you bought me a rock?!" I laughed. Next scene; I was driving down a dusty lane in what felt like a toy car - Johnny Depp was in the passenger seat, but I didn't bat an eyelid. I was on a mission. Finally, I reached an old shed. When I walked inside, I saw 'Woody' from Toy Story struggling to breathe. "He's not just a toy - he's real!" I gasped. "I must try to save him!" But, instead, I just sat against the wall and watched him die. Next scene: there was this annoying girl - around the age of 5 or 6. I offered something from the 'snack box' but she refused. Instead, she demanded that I made her toast "Fine, I'll make it!" I sighed. "But I don't have any jam" I thought.
