Must die [yes, you heard me right]

"Okay, this might seem like I'm completely crazy - and I might just be crazy because this is so weird - but I woke up this morning after an odd dream about these two freaky looking guys telling me that I have to take care of a kid and I heard some noises from my living room. I'm kind of wigged out, right? I look inside and I see a little toddler trying to balance on the arm of my couch. Just this random child doing ballet in my apartment. And at first, I thought this kid was a girl because he has such effeminate hair, but he did refer to himself as 'he,' so I guess I'm inclined to believe him.

He said his name was Rue, and he just kind of... attached himself to me. The really strange thing about this is that this is the same kid that I dreamed of last night. Maybe it was fate of some kind...? It's all kind of overwhelming, though. I mean, I have to take care of a child now! All of a sudden! I know I've wanted a child of my own for forever and now one just flies into my life, but it's so crazy! I don't even know if I can support a child all on my own! Yeah, I've been doing all right with the shop on my own up until now, but I'm kind of worried about it.

...Aaaaand looks like Rue won't change out of his leotard. I can't leave him alone up here, so I'll have to take him down to the shop with me. Maybe I can get him into one of my old shirts beforehand though... This'll be an odd story to tell my regulars. Bleh."
