She had lived with all that deprivation and this was it; she had it.
"I am definitely doing this!" she said.
"You' already doing it", said the mysterious stranger.
"I don't know where to go.", we think she said.
"You're already there", said Mysterioso the Great, "stop thinking".
"I think I'm hallucinating.", she said.
"You are.", said M, "But I'm here to help you".
"I'm going to Beverly Hills.", she proclaimed.
"Yeah, you're not there yet.", he replied.
"Why the F not?", she thought. She picked up the phone and dialed her travel agent.
"All right! We're going and it will be different this time.", M whispered excitedly.
"Who are you?", she said to him.
"I'm your hallucination, and I'm not a man - I'm Jackie Collins + Oliver Sacks.", M sang.
"I need a one-way ticket to Beverly Hills, please.", she said into the receiver.
"Ok, it's time to put things together and make sense.", M said to her.
"That's what I'm doing!", she shouted in frustration.
"Yeah, I see that, but you've got too much stuff that you're trying to put together, and I'm here to help you; you see this blowtorch, honey?", M said
"What blowtorch?", she said confused.
"The blowtorch of clarity", M said, "that I've been waiting to use.
"I'm not seeing the clarity.", she said honestly.
"That's clarity hiding under the table; you just need to call her.", M said.
Annie bent down to look under the table, but in the process she knocked herself out.
M felt so protective of her, and that included finalizing the travel plans, packing her bags and blow torching anything or anyone that might stand in her way or hold her back.
"I must be dreaming", Annie said, when she opened her eyes.
She was in Beverly Hills, in a beautiful room, with a gorgeous view and her little dog Clarity excitedly greeting her.
She stood up slowly, taking her time to drink in her surroundings.
"The nightmare has become just a dream, and my dream has become a reality.", she mused, "and hallucination made it happen".
"Maybe I really am a Princess.", Annie thought joyfully.
"Yeah, and I'm the Big Bad Wolf!, teased Clarity, "You're anyone you want to be, Annie".
Annie walked to the door, wondering what would greet her on the other side.
She opened the door, and there was Action, with a smiling face, waiting for her patiently and impatiently.
This came as a SHOCK!, because action was the last thing she was expecting.
"I'm not a thing.", said Action with a wagging finger, "I'm the part you that you've been waiting to knock on your door, but you just need to open it first".
"I just opened it.", she countered, "now what?".
"Let's do this", Action said, "Let's chase it down and conquer it!"
"I'm in!", said Annie.
"Let's go and out and show Clarity how big the world is!, Action exclaimed.
Annie grabbed her and Clarity's bejeweled leash and said, "Let's".
"Wait", said Action, "you need to put on your crown so everyone will know you're a princess".
"Where's my crown?", Annie asked with befuddlement.
"It's in your bag. It's the only thing hallucination packed for you", Action said, "it's the most important thing".
Annie opened her bag and saw that Action was right; she reached in and carefully put the at crown on her head.
She felt that there had been a metamorphosis in herself.
"Woof", said The end
