"Where do you think we are going, Elena," Lillian inquired embracing her best friend's hand walking closely beside her. Her eyes were seeking something familiar around her but she was unable to recognise her surrounding.

"It looks so beautiful here, Lillian. Don't you think so?" Elene seemed to not hear her question and asked her instead. Lillian shook her head in disapproval as the entire place was quiet and somewhat creepy.

All of a sudden Lillian felt like the surrounding temperature had fallen to below zero as the hair on hand started to stand. Walking down the alley she saw something which made Lillian's deer-like eyes go big.

Lillian broke free her hand from Elena's and run down like her life depend on it. All her surrounding was full of ice cream while she was standing in the middle with sparkling eyes. Lillian fetish for ice cream was not unknown to her friends. Remembering something she ran back to where she had left her friend and pulled hurriedly towards the stalls where all kinds of ice cream were present.

"Elene, can you see there are so many ice creams." she dipped her hand in one of the containers and scooped some ice cream from it caring less to look for a spoon and gave Elena to eat, informing "This is 'frozen chocolate Haute', can you imagine it's so fricking expensive and here it is a lot of them." dragging her to different stall she almost screamed in Elena's ear " DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA, this is the most expensive ice cream in the world 'Strawberries Arnaud'," this time instead of giving her she picked the bowl she opened her mouth to eat instead but just as the content of the bowl was about to touch her lips all of sudden the whole surrounding started to shake, all the shop started to crumble one by one and she the floor beneath her slides away leaving nothing, she felt like floating and collision of her but with something hard which made her wince in pain.

Lillian propped her one hand ground supporting her body she reached to the alarm clock ringing on the table. Once turning it off she fell back on the ground and groaned annoying " who made this alarm, it's nothing but a death machine, not only I fell off from bed it dropped the ice cream I was about to taste". She licked her lips memorising her dream without opening her eyes.

She heard her mom's telling her that she would be going too late if she didn't come down within an hour. Remembering today is the first day of her medical school all of her fantasies about ice cream and rant on the alarm clock went out of the window as she made her way to the bathroom while soothing her aching butt.

Lillian entered the kitchen to only see her mama had been ready to leave for the office while packing lunch for her. Mrs LeBlanc kissed her daughter wishing her happy birthday.

"So, what do you want for your birthday," she asked signalling her to sit down on the chair. She served all her favourite breakfast-making Lillian drool over it. Stuffing a mouthful of a cheese sandwich she said "I'm not a child anymore mama. I don't need any presents. You should buy some new clothes for yourself instead." knowing very well how her mother keeps spending all her money on her. Mrs LeBlanc smiled at her daughter's remarks. The girls of her daughter's age often throw a big tantrum about presents and hear her little angel advising her to buy something for herself.

"But momma, can I ask you for something else," she asked her mom pulling herself off the chair and circling her arm around her mother.

Planting a kiss on Lillian's cheek, Mrs LeBlanc said "Anything, darling."

"I want a wish for the future as I have everything I need now".
