[holysong]

Dream effects: Helplessness, fear.
Warnings: None!


"You know, right? That I'll always be there for you too..."

--------------

Silence. This eerie feeling raising in between her chest that something-- something wasn't right, but what could it be?

The Chosen began to wander; her steps sluggish and uneven. Every time she would take a step, the weight would bare down on her causing a stumble; a little trip as the advance pressed forward. The walk lead her to no place in particular-- just an empty space with no means of an end. Nothing. The spots where walls should of stood had completely disappeared along with the ceiling, or even the floor underneath her. It was as if... she was just stuck. Even so, something was compelling Colette to continue the walk, as unsuspecting as it was.

What... what exactly was this place?

By the time she was about to give up-- when the all weight in this desolate place had gotten to her-- the sight of something red.

"Lloyd?"

It was easy enough to pick out from the shades of black and gray that had completely consumed this area. Yet not only red-- the colors purple, white, and blue also began to appear in the distance.

Her friends. All of her friends were there!

Relief had finally washed over the weary girl's face. As she took another sluggish step forward, her hands raised in the air to greet them, something made her stop.

"Llo-- ... " A pause; she tried again. "...."

".... -!?"

Nothing.

Each one of her friends were facing the other way, their backs turned to her. They all seemed so happy; laughing with each other and joking around but... no one seemed to notice her. It was in that moment-- that single moment where she again tried to reach out with her voice-- that they all seemed to vanish.

One by one, each of her laughing friends began to slowly disappear into the thin air of nothingness. Sheena, Genis, Zelos, Kratos... even the friends she was starting to meet at Somarium.

".... !!"

Finally, just as Lloyd began to vanish, his head turned towards Colette. D- did he see her? She couldn't quite tell from the distance but there was one obvious thing that stuck out to her-- he wasn't smiling at her.

There was something about his look that seemed sad, disappointing even, before the barrens of this place soon consumed him as well.

"... ?"


"..... -!!!"



--------------

[ A startled gasp finally woke her from her dream. Colette sat there for a moment; unmoving and tightly clenching her arms to hug herself.

The Dreamberry had fallen to the side of the bed, unaware by the female that it had turned on.

Her friends.... her friends.

It was then that the smallest shred of a tear broke free to trickle down her cheek. ]

[Dino was so sadfaising at the small screen of the Dreamberry, really sympathizing with the girl. He debated for all of two seconds if he should say something, but then charged forward with a worried frown in his eyes]

Colette?

[clumsychosen.livejournal.com]

[ The sound had startled the girl to jump a little at her bed. ]

Ah-- [ Searching, searching-- oh. Was this on? Time to quickly wipe away the tear before pushing a smile back onto her face. ]

Hello Dino!

[chiavarone.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you!

I just wanted to make sure you were, ah, OK... [A little awkward, because Dino still hasn't gotten over the whole intruding on dreams thing. He wants to help, but he also feels a little intrusive when he does]

[clumsychosen.livejournal.com]

Oh no, you didn't wake me!

[ Awkward, just a little awkward shift. She's not exactly use to people peeking in her dreams, either... ]

I'm fine. Please, don't worry about it.

[Sheena frowns as she sees the transmission, and debates whether to go to the girl. Colette was always one to keep things to herself, but...

No, she was going to repay her for the countless times she's helped her.

So she goes, and comes to Colette's door, pausing a moment before knocking.]

Colette? Are you okay?

[ A tiny jolt at the acknowledgment of the knock before the female scrambled to pick herself out of her bed. ]

Y- yes, I'm fine!

[ Oh no, did she make Sheena worry?? ]

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

Are you sure?

[She pauses, looking down.]

Can I come in for a minute?

action;

[clumsychosen.livejournal.com]

Of course you can.

[ She tried to put as much reassurance in her voice as possible. Making sure not stray tear was left behind. ]

A-are you alright?

[ She doesn't know those people but whatever the dream meant, it didn't seem good. ]

Ada-!

[ kdubgsh Oh no! ]

Yes... yes, I'm fine! Ehehe!

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

Were they... friends of yours?

[ ...Busted. ]

They... uh, they still are.

Very special friends of mine.

[ Sasuke frowns as he watches the dream, more out of curiosity because this was the girl who'd bugged him during training, but as he watches he can't help but think of another blond back home. He hangs up before Colette can answer. ]

[Hi, Colette. Have a worried best friend peering at you through a Dreamberry held up close.]

Colette?

[Video]

[clumsychosen.livejournal.com]

[ No no, you shouldn't be worried! ]

... Lloyd.

[ A tiny smile peeking into the feed; tired and a little shaken up. He's still here. Thank goodness. ]

[Video]

[redcladidealist]

[Yeah, he knows it was a dream, but he can't help feeling worried for her anyway. He's your friend, Colette. It's what he does.]

You okay?

[Video]

[clumsychosen.livejournal.com]

[ Even as a friend, she doesn't want you to worry too much.

See the smile, Lloyd? She's okay! ]

E- ehe, of course I am.

[hatesviolence.livejournal.com]

Hey, you okay?

[clumsychosen.livejournal.com]

[ A little fumble, but Colette was able to manage a tiny smile. ]

E- ehe! Of course I am.

[hatesviolence.livejournal.com]

[he is kind of doubtful, but it's not really his place to say since he doesn't really know her.]

...It's just a dream, so don't worry about it.

[clumsychosen.livejournal.com]

... Yes, you're right.

[ Colette giggles; it's tiny and a little worn, but still there. ]

Th- thank you.

[Euphie watches the dream silently, feeling a bit guilty for prying into something like this. After a moment's hesitation, she speaks up quietly, worrying her lip slightly as she does so.]

Ah, Colette... are you alright?

[They'd only met once, but she was an extremely nice girl, and Euphie hated to see anyone suffer.]

[clumsychosen.livejournal.com]

[ Oh! She remembers you! Cue the tiny smile and a hand wave. ]

Ah... yes, of course! You don't have to worry about me.

[ After all, it was just a dream... right? ]

video;

[naivelysanguine.livejournal.com]

[She returns the gesture with a tentative smile of her own.]

That's what friends do for one another though, isn't it? [...] The people in your dream... they're all very important to you, aren't they?

[That was something she could certainly relate to.]

[clumsychosen.livejournal.com]

[ The nod is hesitant, but clearly still there. ] That's right, but I'll be fine. Really!

[ Ah, right... ] Mhmm. They are very special to me. I love them all very much.
