I am inside someone's shower, cause the place I live in does not have one, I'm getting soaked, my clothes are heavy, so I better shut the water off and get out of here. Dang like London Fog in here. Ok, here's a towel at least I can dry off some. Damn my clothes are really soaked they are sagging really bad. Maybe there are clothes in here. Too foggy yet. Woah! Sorry kid, thought I was the only one in here. WTF?? The kid disappeared. I just saw his face. Wait, this is a long mirror. How in the ..ok then this has to be a dream I am seeing a kid in this full length mirror with my wet clothes on. Ok, even better, my hands are smaller. That kid is me! What a crazy dream. Just go with it. Cool some kid clothes on the hamper. Nice short gym shorts and a T-shirt and some underwear. Just like I used to wear. Let me ditch my big boy clothes in the hamper and put on my boy clothes. Here I go out the bathroom door. Daddy, Dad! Hey Blue, you almost knocked me over I love you too. You're acting like you have not seen me in years. (The man's nickname as a boy was "Blue" as his favorite color was blue and he had the most awesome blue eyes). If you remember I woke you up to take a shower and eat your breakfast. Yes, I love you too. (Blue had his hands clasped behind his dad's neck and was hanging off of him. Not his dad who passed away from old age, but his young dad. The one who did father- son things with him). Honey, here you go. That smell. Pancakes, bacon and eggs. Blue knew it well. He turned around and Mommy!! Mom! Blue threw his ams around her and kissed her on the cheek. Ok, Blue thank you. I will miss you too. Blue looked at her strangely.. His mom reminded him. Don't you remember you are going to summer camp for a week. Oh yeah, yes mom. I remember. Dad looked at mom. 12 yrs old. Remember how Paul was (Blues older brother) "spacey" when he was maturing. Mom look rolled her eyes and giggled. Summer camp? What a distant memory. Blue barely remembered going to a summer camp as a boy. He did get an odd feeling when he tried to remember summer camp though. Oh my, mom's special pancakes. Nothing better. How he missed them. Powered sugar, strawberries, pure maple syrup, bacon, and eggs. Topped off with orange juice. Blue thought that for a moment maybe this was not another dimension or dream. Maybe this was heaven and he was there. Regardless, he was with his mom and dad and was 12 yrs old again and was going to summer camp. Blue finished breakfast and went upstairs. Mom had clothes laid out for Blue on his bed. Mom told him, Blue you will be gone for seven days. Camp rules, three undershirts, 3 pair of underwear, 3 pair of socks. Blue there is a laundry there and it is free. You can use it you know. Next camp rule. All under clothes need to have your initials in them. Do you want me to do it? Blue rolled his eyes. No mom I can do it. (Blue was actually acting like a 12 year old). Blue took a permanent blue marker and put his initials in all his under clothes. Except in his underwear. He wrote inside the elastic band Owned by Blue They Won't Fit You. Blue threw his clothing in his pack and went downstairs. His mom gave him a hug and kiss on the cheek and Blue almost fell to his knees as childhood memories of his mom and how much love she gave him come flooding back. Dad was in their family car and honked the horn. Blue threw his pack in the backseat and off they went. Blue and his dad arrived at the local YMCA where a painted over school bus with YMCA letters sat idling and a long line of boys waiting to board. Ok Blue, have fun, see you in a week. Blue could not contain himself he leaped across the car seat and hugged his father and held him tight. His father was not sure what was going on but was enjoying the affection from his son. Blue told his dad bye, grabbed his stuff and went over to join the other boys. Blue was sitting there when a voice called out to him. Blue we are in the same cabin just like we asked. He looked up and, his mind went back in time quickly. He immediately recognized his best friend Gage. Gage, was wearing green gym shorts , a grey sleeveless t-shirt and sneakers. Blue remembered people told Gage after he got his braces off that he looked like Chad Allen from a TV show Our House. Blue felt something funny in his stomach and his heart beat a little faster. He was so overtaken by the emotion of seeing his friend after all this time he barely got out the word "Hi" to his friend Gage. Gage looked at Blue and said Dude with you hair cut like that you look like... Ok, everyone, form a single line and get ready to get on the bus shouted one of the camp counselors. If you don't have a seat buddy we will assign you one. All you baggage goes under the seat in front of you. Gage and Blue knew they were sitting together. When they entered the bus the counselor asked for their names, had them write their names on a name tag and sent them on their way to a seat. The boys shoved their packs under the seats in front of them and sat down and got ready for the ride to camp. Before the bus pulled out one of the other counselors stood and up got everyone's attention. He gave them information about how long the drive to camp would be. They would be stopping once maybe twice to eat a snack or go to the bathroom if necessary. While the bus was moving everyone was to remain in their seat. If anyone had a need they needed to raise their hand and say excuse me Mr. Counselor to get the counselors attention for help. It would be a long ride to camp about 4 hours. Blue was sitting by the window. As he and Gage spoke it was hard for Blue to keep up with the conversation as the topics were from so long ago. He was afraid that Gage was getting impatient with him. Blue made up the excuse that he was tired and was going to take a nap. Soon Gage joined Blue in that endeavor. Blue fell asleep and awoke to find Gage's body pressed up against his. Blue closed his eyes again and pretended to be asleep. He did not know why but he enjoyed the sensation of Gage's skin pressed against his as well as his smell permeating in his olfactory canal. Blue began to feel tingly all over. He was certainly enjoying his friend sleeping against his body and was in no hurry for the bs to arrive at camp.
