[ WP ] You are an actor , hired by parents to pretend to be a troubled boy 's imaginary friend .

You see, i really didnt want to be a waiter anymore so when they came to me with this gig it sounded great. Just pretend to be this kids imaginary friend long enough to get him to think you left. `` Cant be letting your kid have an imaginary friend now, keeps them from getting real ones at school.'' That kinda reasoning. They had a costume made for me and i was getting 500 a week. Surprisingly enough the kid took to me. For some reason i had thought that the kids imaginary friend would tell her that im an imposter. Couple months go by and the kid catches me talking to her parents. `` YOU COULD SEE HIM THE WHOLE TIME!!! HE IS REAL? I WAS MESSING WITH YOU FOR SO LONG, AND THEN I STARTED SEEING HIM. I thought i was going crazy but you two. You kept acting like i was just playing with my imaginary friend and that all this was normal and would go away.'' `` Honey its not like that'' the dad chimed in. She was having none of it. `` I SEE, I know whats going on here. I have superpowers and you were trying to keep me here! You were experimenting on me with those vegetables! I bet youre not even my real parents!'' I move over to her `` Dana, you have to relax. None of this is real. This is a dream, youre asleep. You dont want this to turn into a nightmare, i dont think i could protect us all. Come with me and we'll get you somewhere safe'' i pick her up and take her up to her room. The parents gave me an extra thousand and told me the job was over and gave me an extra thousand. I kept the costume and went back to my normal life. Its been sixteen years since then, shes in college now and im the general manager of the applebees where i worked. I got an application for a girl named Dana today. First time i thought of it in years. Her interviews tomorrow, maybe i'll crack that suit out. See what happens.
