The One With the Winged People

Date: 7/2/2025

I’m at some sort of festival with Brody’s family. A song comes on and Michael Scott from The Office and Brianna get super excited. Brianna says, “Oh, I need to be mic’d up for this one!” I watch as she and Michael get ready to dance. At some point, a crowd assembles and several people who’ve had wings made of skin surgically attached to them stand up to show them to us. The first guy opens up a set of purple and magenta wings and everyone cheers. The second guy shows off a pair of pale green ones. As everyone claps and freaks out, he says, “And if anyone is looking to buy a boat, ask that guy over there!” My head whips to the side and I see that he’s pointing at Devan. I start clapping, along with the crowd, as the guy talks him up — and then notice that Devan looks like he might cry. When the cheering dies down, Devan says something vague about remembering helping the guy find a boat. Peyton — who is sitting near me on the outer edge of the crowd — suddenly looks at me and says, “You know, if you do it right, having twins can be like the best thing ever… if not, it must be the worst thing.” I’m annoyed by this … I’m in a house I don’t recognize which is supposed to be Dalton and Alyssa’s. My mom says something about them moving into a new house “before the baby is born.” I remember that Alyssa is apparently pregnant with a girl, and my mom tells me that they’re naming her “Sophia.” I think about how this will be the second one in the family (in real life, my cousin Denise has a baby named Sofia) and feel better about the Odri-Audrey thing. I vaguely wonder if Dalton got the idea for this name from The Walking Dead.
