Moonlight Shadow

Thoughts and Revelations

"Do you really have to go?"

Isis was helping her brother pack for the trip. He'd been accepted as a student to the prestigious University of Creative Studies in Japan. As a budding actor and filmmaker, he was doing everything he could to advance his cinematic career.

"I'm afraid so, Sis."

he replied, putting on a practiced sorry face for his seven year old sibling. In all actuality, he couldn't wait to leave. He was sick of taking second place to his parents' favorite little girl. They considered her a "miracle child" because at the age of 8 months, she could walk and talk, and she was an incredibly quick learner. The only reason his parents were letting him go so far away was to get Marik out of their hair. It was no secret that they thought him a failure.

'I'll show them...I'll show them all! And when they see what I've become, they'll come crawling back, begging to be forgiven!'

The thought made him smirk darkly. He turned up the volume on his stereo and continued to pack for the long trip.


The shy brunette sat on a couch in the lobby, staring out the window at the rain as it poured down the awning on the front entranceway. Serenity had only been at college for four months, but she was afraid she'd never find her place.

She had attempted to study photography, but she soon discovered that she was allergic to the film-developing chemicals... she hated to think how that came about...

Acting was out too. She had terrible stage fright... it got so bad that she couldn't eat or sleep and she had collapsed on more than one occasion from all the stress. After she was hospitalized the last time, she decided to drop the course.

Her new sculpting course was alright so far, but it was lonely work. The instructor was almost always absent. She was taking an advanced geometry class too.

' I don't even want to think about that right now... I don't even want to think at all! '

She just sighed and lay her head on her arm.

"Miss, you can't sleep in the Common... Please go back to your dorm if you want to sleep." The security guard continued on his way, leaving a fuming Serenity to continue her sulking... head up this time!

' Today is just not my day!'
