"Rise and shine, Erica!" Julie cried out, her face hovering directly over her roommate's.

Erica jerked awake in surprise and a little bit of fear. "What's happening," she blurted out, still half asleep as Julie skipped away from the bed.

"I made you breakfast, Erica," Julie called out from the kitchenette. Erica rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, only to stare at the breakfast tray that seemed to have materialized from thin air. "Here you go!" Julie quipped.

"How are you moving so fast?" Erica asked her in confusion.

"Eggs, bacon, sausage, english muffin, hash browns, ketchup, and hot chocolate!" Julie exclaimed in rapid fire.

Why was it so hard to figure out what was going on. "Julie, I need you to take a breath, calm down, and tell me what's happening."

She breathed a few times and then continued talking. "Oh, Erica! I'm just so excited. I've selected the cutest outfit for you to wear today. It's been my dream to wear it outside, but I could never bring myself to do it."

Erica gave her a weird look. "I'm completely capable of selecting my own clothes."

"You have to wear what I've selected for you. It's one of the new rules!" Julie announced excitedly.

"What new rules?" Erica asked her.

Julie held up a piece of paper with her handwriting on it for Erica to read.

Erica's Rules

1. Julie decides what Erica wears from now on.

2. Erica can't make any adjustments to her clothes for any reason.

3. Whatever happens, happens.

4. Erica is no longer allowed to wear underwear.

5. No exceptions.

6. Julie can decide to add new rules to this list whenever she wants!

"Did you take stupid pills this morning?" Erica asked. "No, I'm not going to follow these stupid rules."

"I'm living my dreams through you one way or the other, Erica. I'd prefer the easy way, wouldn't you? Now eat your food!"
