Hannah lay in her bed, her blankets wrapping around her body. Her brown hair was a tangled mess and it was 12pm. She was still in her pajamas. Hannah sat up and grabbed her phone and checked her Minder (pronounced Min-der. Not Mind-er). She swiped left for quite a while until she found the perfect date.
The ‘perfect date’ in question was wearing her pajamas as well. Her pajama pants had small pugs dancing around on the fabric. It was complemented with a shirt that had a pug stretching its tiny arms out and with bolded letters: How Do Dogs Say Goodbye? With Lots of Pugs!
It was a match made in heaven. Well. Minder. Hannah sent a message to her.
Hannah waited a few moments and sent another message.
Do you want to meet up somewhere today?
She stared at her phone screen and watched as the dreaded ellipsis slowly bobbed.
Thanks, I really like these pajamas eue
Can it be a pajama date…?
My laundry isn’t done quq
The conversation went on for a few minutes as they planned their date. They would bring their favorite stuffed animals and wear the pajamas they slept in. No dressing up required. Hannah was already ready for the date before she even woke up. She would nail this.
Hannah made her way to the coffee shop they agreed to meet at and saw her date. She waved to her and sat at the table. “I’m not late, am I?”
Hannah spent her evening with the mannequin of her dreams. Her head was a beautiful shiny black and her pug pajamas looked even better in person. Hannah found herself blushing multiple times as she ate and chatted with the mannequin. Many people had stared and rolled their eyes at the peculiar couple. A mother even shielded her son’s eyes as she walked by.
When Hannah had to go home, she asked if they could go on another date.
“It couldn’t hurt,” the mannequin replied. “You were quite splendid to hang out with.”
