Beck's going to be a daddy, fire, and the Center

There was some awards show (I have no idea what for) with a very long hallway. Jon K. and John J. were there. Kathleen and I rode up very long escalators and looked in empty rooms.

I followed Olga and Valeria into some house. We all then sat on the floor and talked about preschool faculty for next year.

Then I was at the Center, herding all these pissed-off seventh graders into a big group to do their African Masks Arts Partners project. They heard they had to make two masks each and got quite irritated. After that project got started, I left. Linden was in a room just watching the parking lot. It was dark out. A white car drove by, then I went out to mine. I spotted a blond girl, a lot like Rachael, sitting in a red car. I got in and asked her who she was. She wouldn't tell me. Then Beck got in the car and asked for a refill on his drugs. He pulled out a small bottle of mouthwash-looking liquid and handed it to her. She drank it all; Beck was crushed. She told him to get off drugs and get a fuckin' job because he was going to be a daddy soon. I told him I might be able to help him find a job. We were in motion now, and we drove by a Thai restaurant. Then I got out at the gas station (one of those ones with no attendants) and noticed it had caught fire (in a small area). I pulled out the fire hose and pulled the alarm, thinking I might be able to contain it until the fire department got there. An hour later, the fire was out and still no fire department. Then I noticed a storm coming (even though it was still dark), and suddenly I was in a Target or Wal-Mart. As the storm crept closer, the items on the shelves changed to home decor things. It looked like a Bed, Bath, and Beyond after the transformation.
