A very short, very sad, but ultimately sweet, vignette-style songfic to the tune of 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow', which I'm sure you've all heard at some point. ^_~

The story is written from Molly's perspective, and is basically her thoughts after Nephrite's death.

Please note: I do not own Molly and Nephrite, they belong to Naoko Takeuchi. 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' belongs to E.Y. Harburg and Harold Arlen, and was originally performed by Judy Garland.

However, I think the story about why sapphires are blue is my own invention, but please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. ^_^

'Somewhere Over the Rainbow'- by Belladonna Sinistra

Somewhere over the rainbow

Way up high

There's a land that I heard of

Once in a lullaby…

My mother told me a story once, when I was a little girl, about why sapphires are blue. She said that each one contains a little piece of infinity, and that the blue colour reflects the peace and tranquillity of the land which lies somewhere over the rainbow…

Somewhere over the rainbow

Skies are blue

And the dreams that you dared to dream

Really do come true…

Oh Nephrite…your love was more than I'd ever dared to hope for…You were rich, smart, good-looking- and I was just some dumb kid. It was a dream come true for me, when you saved my life, when you realised that you had feelings for me- and that I had, and still have, feelings for you…

Someday I'll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me

Where troubles melt like lemon drops

Away over the chimney tops

That's where you'll find me…

This may sound silly to you, love, but every night I wish upon the evening star that I'll see you again someday. Even if I don't see you again, I'll never forget you. I can still remember the last words you ever spoke- 'You'll be in my heart…'

Somewhere over the rainbow

Bluebirds fly

Birds fly over the rainbow

Why then, oh why can't I…?

If happy little bluebirds fly

Beyond the rainbow

Why, oh why, can't I…?

Nephrite, why did you have to leave me? Where did you go? Did you go to that peaceful land beyond the rainbow? Whenever I see a rainbow, I'll think of you, my love…I'll always remember your last words- 'You'll be in my heart…' Well, as long as I'm in your heart, you'll be in mine…Maybe that's what the story meant- the blue land beyond the rainbow, where all your heart's desires are waiting for you…If you're there, I'll see you whenever I look up at the sky…I'll know you're there, somewhere over the rainbow…
