It was a dream.
The gentle lull of the ocean sang to her, coaxing her from her spot on the soft white sand. The low rush of clear water reached out to her, demanding her presence.
She stood, dazed, and languidly made her way over.
Reaching the edge, she stared hesitantly out into the eternal blue.
She met with her own reflection, a vision of short brown hair and a pretty face. Taking a deep breath she stepped lightly, disrupting the image below.
The water was neither cold nor warm, but soothing in its own way.
A faint chuckle was heard as a light wind played with her hair. She shivered as each airy wisp slowly gained form, transforming them into a strong but tender hand.
More followed in suit, swirling around her, each tendril stretched out and built upon each other until, silver hair glittered in the sunlight, a soft white cotton shirt rippled in the remaining wind and strong arms embraced her.
She sighed, leaning back against his form. He squeezed her shoulders then gently kissed the top her head.
The young woman smiled softly, enjoying the moment.
Rocking her gently, he hummed a familiar tune. Her smile widened as she brought her arms up to caress his, her delicate fingers running lightly along the tanned skin.
The water swelled around their feet, sighing along with his song.
It was a dream.
If she opened her eyes there would be no beach, no song of the ocean, and no him.
Only an empty room and a forever silent piano.

A/N: I really liked this song. Ever since I first saw Finding Nemo I was entranced by it. It gives off a very serene feeling, perfectly in sync with the ocean.
