So George's day had started out badly. Very, very badly. Yesterday had been so nice and then some crazy lady had to go and ruin it by stealing him from his own living room. How she had done so was a complete mystery and actually lent itself to his theory that it was all some big dream or hallucination. It could still be a Fred trick, he supposed, but Fred didn't usually wait this long to say 'GOTCHA!'

Also, George had lost the hearing on his left side, which maybe was a coincidence or something to do with yesterday. Would he have to put a note on the Portable Swamps? Caution: May cause deafness. So that was something he needed to check out, but first he needed to find his twin to let him know that, even though he'd been stolen in the night, he was perfectly fine, albeit shaken.

Fortunately, the crazy lady's den of insanity was, for some reason, right across the road from his own new home (again, probably not reality, here) and so it was a short sprint across the cobblestones and upstairs into his flat. He hesitated on the threshold. Hadn't there been moving boxes yesterday? Why was there a stain on Hector and a mountain of dishes in the sink?

What. The. Fuck.

"Has the world gone completely insane?" He asked the empty front room.

"No," he told his brother, the urgency in his voice obvious as he moved towards him. "It's not all make-believe. What you think you know about that other life is make-believe, George. You will not do anything impossible like trying to jump off a building or whatever dangerous thing that you're thinking because this isn't fake. You're here. Really here. You'll hurt yourself and it won't be a joke. I'm serious, George. Don't do any;thing stupid." The mention of Alicia made his eyes widen.

"Oh, you have got to be out of your bloody mind!," he told him, shaking his head. "Alicia is married George. You have a girlfriend. You cannot be seriously thinking about going over there. You really have gone and gotten yourself into some real mess if you don't remember all of that."

What kind of stupid dream was this? Whoever was writing the script was a real buzzkill. Lucid dreams were supposed to be about fantasy and wish fulfillment, right? Not getting shouted at by a stranger and having the proper pretty girl unavailable.

"Fine," he said, slouching down, arms folded. "Real Fred's much more fun than you are. Not even letting me enjoy myself. I've had a really bad pretend day and if I can't wake up, then what else am I supposed to do?" The healer thing? He supposed that couldn't hurt. Maybe they could fix his hearing.

"Well you're the dream guide," he decided, "you can lead or whatever."

It was quite obvious that he wasn't going to be working today at all. No, he was going to have to keep his apparently insane twin from doing something even more incredibly stupid than what he'd likely already done to poor Lydia. He hoped whatever was going on that he figured it out soon and George got back to himself before he did irreparable damage to his relationship.

"We need to go to a healer," he told him. "I'm going to make sure the shop's covered for the day so I can take you." He'd send of a message and get that taken care of and then maybe he and George could get something figured out. "What did you say to Lydia?," he asked him. He was honestly afraid of what his brother was going to tell him.

Pretend person or not, George actually did feel kind of bad for calling her crazy, especially given that she hadn't actually been crazy, just a figment of his imagination and he was playing the game wrong. What the hell had been in that swamp?! Caution: May cause psychotic hallucinations.

"Um," he said, feeling a little sheepish, "that she was crazy and I didn't know who she was and that she'd... kidnapped me?" Yeah, it sounded totally insane and horrible and thank goodness she wasn't real.

Fred palmed his face when his brother told him what he'd said to Lydia. He wasn't sure how the hell he'd be able to get out of all of that, but he hoped for everyone's sake that whatever illness or curse was plaguing his brother, it would go away quicker that it had come on. It was all ridiculous and it made him remember the dreams of dying. His stomach churned uncomfortably. "I really, really wish that you hadn't said all of that," he muttered. "I don't know how we're going to be able to explain any of it. But right now we just need to worry about getting you back to normal before anything else goes horribly wrong."

"What's there to explain?" George asked with genuine curiosity. "It's not like she's real." Neither was Fred, as a matter of fact, but George didn't think it would do any good to point that out and make his fake twin cranky.

"And I am normal," he said with a little huff. "It's the world that doesn't exist. But, as I said, you're the dream guide. Guide me." He sat up straighter and held out his arms as if in supplication. "If enlightenment is to be found with the Healers, then lead the way."
