A/N So, this new story is featuring two OC's of mine, and I hope you enjoy! Anyone who was reading my Coffee Room story, I apologise but I lost inspiration and went off the idea. Anyhoo, here's a MPSFPC story for you – Based off the books, not the film, though I do love both :3.

That day in November, when my ordinary life took a turn for a more... peculiar one.

Serenity P.O.V

"Hey guys! Hey, Serenity " I looked up from my drawing to see Autumn approaching the small picnic table that our group of friends had claimed for lunch, seemingly permanently. Her now short chestnut hair was crazy as ever, and her dark amber eyes were glittering with a seemingly consistent excitement she always had. It was unbelievable that this girl was dying. I flashed her a smile as she took a seat. I could remember when she had told us. She had just called me in the middle of registration, with no explanation whatsoever. Ms. Belvet had been furious, but I hadn't seen her in two months, and only the teacher knew why she had taken such a long break off school.

"Miss. Ryder, care to explain to me why the 'Doctor Who' theme tune is blasting out of your phone?" I blushed bright red, pulling out my phone but freezing at the sight of the caller ID.

"Miss, it's Autumn" her face softened, and to everyone's surprise she nodded and let me scamper out of the room.

Later, I had visited her at the hospital. I've always been quiet, but my social anxiety that day was overrun by a torrent of emotions when I saw her hooked up to all those machines. Tears rolled down my face and she looked up in alarm. She had barely any hair, and her once smooth tanned skin a chalky white. She looked so helpless. But her eyes gave me hope, they held that familiar sparkle that was just every inch so... Autumn. She still had hope, but I had none.

We went to the park when she was allowed to leave. She had begged them to let her out for the last few months, and the hospital reluctantly agreed.

The day we left together was a bitter cold morning, golden, orange and brown leaves littering the ground as we sat on the hill. She looked at the sky. I looked at her. Those eyes. Those amber-brown glittering depths, full of ideas I couldn't even begin to fathom. Her huge, loving heart. I could see it all in her eyes.

"Serenity, stop staring at me" She swivelled her head my way, a smile playing on her lips.

"How do you live with so much hope? Knowing you're going to die?" I stared fascinated as she just laughed, turning back to the sky. "I would be distraught"

"By simply looking at the identical growing lumps on my shoulder blades, and the dark, bruise like purple-blue colour bubbling underneath them, I was whisked away to hospital almost immediately. When my family was told I had a rare skin cancer, with little to no hope of recovery and only around three months to live, Aunt Ann cried so much that after she looked empty, turmoil clouding her eyes. That was the day my parents left me. I thought I was going to die. In fact, I was and still am sure of it." I wasn't sure where this was going. I didn't think I could handle the story of her diagnosis, yet she continued. "I didn't break though. I don't blame my parents for wanting a normal life again, and I don't blame my aunt for shutting down." she laughed, standing up and pulling me with her. She stretched out her arms wide and spun in a circle, kicking the neat pile of leaves next to us. She breathed in deep. "Look at the world around us, all of the trees, and the clouds and the tones and colour of the leaves. The colours of Autumn." She paused, her bright eyes flitting to my grey ones. "I don't want my time to run out too fast. I want to live every moment of it. Every nanosecond." That was it. I wasn't sure whether to laugh with her or cry.

I was snapped out of my chance by a bright laugh. Autumn was laughing at a joke Faye made, her eyes brighter than ever.

That's when I realised.

She was everything I ever wanted to be.

A/N review would be much appreciated!
