I was a police officer, on my rounds. I was in a park and someone ran up to me to tell me that there were a group of people attempting to shoot a porn flick on the baseball field. The baseball field was bounded on 3 sides by chain-link fence, and on the fourth by wooden walls (the outfield). I, luckily, was behind the field and covered by the wooden slats. I walked up to the field and started walking around to one of the sides, until I met the fenced part. I peered through the fence to see about six people doing something weird in far center field. I yelled at them to ask what they were doing, and they kind of scattered apart and said they were filming an action movie. I kind of nodded and hid back behind the fence. I magically transformed into plain clothes and began walking back around the field, nonchalantly, trying not to obviously watch what they were doing, but I guess they were on guard then because they didn't do anything weird then.
As I continued walking around the field's chain-link fence, I saw that I was coming up on a large group of people. Coming closer I saw that it was two different gangs facing off in two lines. Being a lone cop, I figured it was a BAD place for me to be, and angled off to walk into a grassier section of the park.
I then saw a big group of teenagers milling around and randomly doing some tumbling. I walked up to them, and was magically no longer a cop, just a the college student. I figured out that they were all there to try out for one of the high schools's cheerleading squad. I talked to them for a while, was inspired to do a cartwheel or two and think about taking tumbling lessons, when I decided that I wanted to see if I could make the cheerleading squad. So I got in line.
When it was my turn, I walked up in front of this large (3ft x 3ft) screen and next to the cheerleading instructor lady. She asked me my name, address, and phone number, and as she typed them into a little keyboard they showed up on the screen. She asked me what grade I was in, and I said, "Um, I'm a junior" and she put down 11th grade. I felt like I wasn't QUITE lying, I've been in school for 3 years now. ;) Then she asked me my age, and I did lie there, saying I was 18. She looked at me funny and I said that my parents put me into school really late, so I was kind of old, and that's why I looked older. She bought that. Then, the screen suddenly showed a bunch of statistics on me - mainly my weight and my measurements (which were something absurd like 36/24/38). I was astonished and asked the lady where those came from, and she said that the screen had scanned me. After that (I was deemed worthy I guess), I was all processed through.
I kind of wanted to tell one of the girls I had talked to who I really was, not a high-schooler, and so I went into the locker room (which somehow was there and I was in a building) to look for her. I didn't find her, but I found one of the guys who was trying out for the squad. I asked him what his story was, and he said something (I dont' remember what) that sounded familiar to me from the mud. I looked at him and asked him if he knew what a mud was. He kind of laughed and said yes, so I asked him if he played on Three Kingdoms, but he said no. We talked a little more and then I left.
I walked home, and as I did, I realized that the cheerleading instructors would probably look up everyone's records to see how good of a student they were, and get a feel of what kind of kids they were putting on the team. Of course, doing that, they'd figure out that I wasn't a high school student (or at least one with no records), and I couldn't try out for the team. :(
And that's the end. Then I woke up to my cats trying to steal my pillow. By the time I was fully awake, I was lying off-center on the bed with my head off of my pillow, while Matrix was lying right smack-dab in the middle, sprawled out, with her head on my pillow. Grrr. ;)
