Ami, an old classmate of mine, were walking around on the boardwalk in Atlantic City, going in and out of shops. We had a couple other friends with us, although I couldn't identify who they were. We were walking and bitching about how it sucks to get old, and how nice it was when we were young and everything was new and hopeful.
Ami pointed out a place where she knew some of our other friends were, so we went inside. She said I had to walk into the bathroom to get one of them. I only had socks on, so it was nasty walking into this bathroom without something protecting my feet. Inside there was a guy resting on a stretcher... it was David Riggs. He still looked the same age as we did when we were kids, but he was adult sized. Hard to explain, but he looked really odd. He seemed mentally retarded too, as he kept saying "You Bobby Parsley! You Bobby Parsley!" He didn't remember me until I reminded him about doing Young Authors Conference work with him in Mrs Boyer's class.
As I left there, Ami was gone, and for some reason I was now walking around on all fours. I think it had something to do with an injury. I was going into a school cafeteria, so I tried to get back up and stand just on my legs so that nobody would make fun of me. It really hurt, and I didn't look natural, and one girl in there smiled and said "I remember making fun of you during Knight Rider!" I have no idea what she meant, but she was smiling and didn't mean anything bad by it.
After I left the cafeteria I was now at a big auction. I went there because I knew they had a bunch of rare videogames. I found the pile of old NES games... all of them were boxed, in almost new condition, and they were the rarest of the rare titles. (Although in reality, all of the titles were games that don't even exist.) I was waiting for the auction to start so that I could bid, then some kid comes over and offered the auctioneer 20 bucks for the stack. I was upset, and motioned to the guy that I wanted to bid too.
I didn't end up getting the games, instead choosing to leave and go into a nearby BW3 with Ami. (She was back, for some reason.) She ran into the restaurant, since she had to use their restroom, and me and my friend came in a few seconds later. The people at BW3 thought we were food critics, so they were falling all over themselves to make us happy.
The place was crowded, so they couldn't seat us right away. Instead, they sat us separately... with me sitting at a table with a really old man and some retarded young kid. The kid kept crawling around on the floor, picking things up. It turns out he was looking for coins. The old man apparently was a coin collector and had taught the kid to look for rare coins on the floors of restaurants. *shrug* I watched him picking up coins... he found old silver dollars, weird gold pieces, and even dirty old pennies and dimes.
