Sweet Dreams is a non-canon Bittersweet Club International-exclusive comic that takes place during the main cast’s sophomore year. Molly is really, really sick, and Daisy is convinced that only Lucy’s singing voice can fix her. Lucy takes some convincing of her own.
Partial synopsis
Lucy shuts her locker and finds Abbey and Daisy waiting with nervous smiles. Abbey haltingly asks about homework until Daisy blurts out “WE NEED YOU TO SING TO MOLLY.”[1] Lucy answers with a flat no.[2]
Daisy clings to Lucy and tells her that Molly is terribly sick and that Molly’s mother used to sing to her.[2] She adds that it is Molly’s mother’s birthday.[3] Lucy howls about wanting just one day without unneeded angst, then relents with a gruff “Show me the body.” She says she does not like the idea of a sick kid feeling miserable.[3]
Molly is asleep and feverish when they arrive, and she murmurs for her mother.[4] Abbey tells Lucy that he and Molly were given away and cannot contact their mother.[4] Daisy explains that Molly has been having nightmares and hopes Lucy’s song will “make the dreams go all nice and sweet”.[5] Lucy tells Daisy she has been reading too much shoujo, then places a hand on Molly’s head and begins to sing in Spanish.[5]
Lucy has come to sing one song and go home. She has badly misjudged the afternoon...
Trivia & observations
- Lucy sings “Historia de un sueño” by La Oreja de Van Gogh, starting with the opening line “Perdona que entre sin llamar”.[5]
- A small wrapped present for Molly’s mother sits on the table beside her bed.[6] Molly also picks out gifts for her mother in the later main-comic chapter At Loose Ends.[7]
- Abbey had told Daisy about his family once before, at the carnival in Love My Way.[8]
