Tristyn Bailey and the Homecoming Dance

Date: 4/9/2025

I remember Phil from Modern Family was there. He was Tristyn Baileys dad (the poor girl Aiden Fucci murdered irl). Tristyn and I were friends (in the dream, not irl). We went to school together. We were in high school. She was a couple years below me. I saw in a line I'm front of our school. I ran up to her and excitedly said, "I'm so glad to see you! So what's going on, what are our plans??" She immediately shushed me and pointed behind her to her dad (Phil) walking up. So I said, "what are our plans for me to stay the night at your house?" to make it sound innocent. Honestly though, it *was* innocent, so Idk why she shushed me to begin with. I just wrote it off to her father being really strict, and she didn't want him to even *think* that she was up to anything. Next thing I remember, we're going through a big closet. It had all our clothes in it, and I'm pulling out all of my dresses, trying to figure out what to wear to Homecoming. I pull out a light brown, tight dress that goes down to abt mid calf, w/ a square cut that shows your cleavage really well, and I thought, "hmm, this isn't dressy, but it does look awfully good on me!" I pulled out a kinda shiny dark brown regular length dress, with gold flowers for the thin straps and thought, "hmm, I wore this in ninth grade, but it's too young for me now, and I don't think it's even the style anymore, I don't want to look completely out of place". I pulled out a long, soft, form-fitting burgundy dress with black lace covering it (prettier than it sounds as Im writing abt it). The chest area had those upside down 'c' s that hold your breasts (I know what Im talking abt, even if nobody else does, lol). They were too small for my larger breast's though, so I wasn't real sure if this wd work. That's when Tristyn walked up to me, asking me what I was doing. I told her we (bc another friend was with me) were looking for what dress to wear to Homecoming. She said nobody goes to dances anymore. That's not what cool kids do. I said, "we use to go to all the dances! It's so much fun! You go with a group of friends, all your girls go to one person's house and get dressed up together, you go out before hand and get something to eat, we have a great time! Sometimes we dance, sometimes we don't, either way it doesn't matter. What matters is just getting out and having fun." Then I remembered, "oh crap! I don't have "$100 for the ticket! I won't be able to go! I wonder if i can figure out a way to get the money together"....
