"You should have told her."

"She couldn't do anything about it. Telling her would only make it worse when it happens."

"What about Dark and Light? They could have told her. I mean, this is. . . "

"Light doesn't even know the specifics of what will happen. And Dark thinks that it should happen. If it doesn't, who knows what could happen instead. It could be even worse."

"I'm going to do something."

"Fine, do what ever you want. But telling her right off will only make it worse for sure."

"I know, I know... but I can't just sit here and do nothing."

Life is But A Dream.

A CCS story about Naoko.

~o~

I can't remember when the dreams started. They would come about twice a month, and they would always have the same pink haired lady with a magical aura in them.

We'd always be in a field, filled with flowers. White during the winter, pastels in spring, Red and Yellows in summer and fall. And she'd always be sitting in the center, her dress flowing into the flowers of the field. She would motion for me to join her, her eyes smiling, the strange cross like tattoo on her forehead glowing, the two large bobbing curls framing her hair bouncing. She would take my hands and smile at me as I sat down, petals falling from the sky.

She would always say the same line every time, then hand me a strange lavender flower, smiling the entire time, her lips never moving. What was it she always said to me though? It was... It was something like...

If the Seal is broken, Disaster will befall this world.

The Seal has been broken.

Then I would usually wake up. But more recently, the flower has been shriveling up in my hands as she speaks. And she keeps getting progressively sadder. To tell the truth it's kinda freaky.

. . .

Not that I'd ever tell anyone about it...

. . .

My friends already assume I'm a little weird. Even compared to Yamizaki.

At least he's just a compulsive liar. They just don't understand what I see in the unknown.

Even I don't understand it at times.

But that's why I'm throwing this sleep over! Sure Sakura can't make it, and Tomoyo's been a little more... moody then usual, but that's okay. Chiharu is going to bring the Ouija board she got for her birthday, and Rika was going to make some muffins for everyone. And even by some act of God the four of us were able to convince Meiling to come.

We could never get the Ouija board out with Sakura around. She's always been afraid of even the hint of ghosts. So this should be new for most of us.

And I really really like Meiling. . . Not in a Hentai way though, that would just be perverted. I just really like her.

She didn't even show up until a few years back when Sakura started acting weird. Her and that Li Sayoran guy. He's really not very polite, but Meiling at least tries to fit in. Luckily things have been calming down lately, and since they're both back for vacation, it'd be nice to have them over.

Of course, with Sakura spending most of her time with him, it's a little hard to get her attention lately.

If it keeps up this way all break, I'll really start to worry about Tomoyo. I know she really likes Sakura, but I don't know if she knows she does. Maybe I'll try to ask her about it tonight?

I used to be like that. . . Liking someone but not knowing you like them. . . But that was a long while back. Anyhow, they've had an engagement ring for a long time, so it's not like I really had a chance of getting their attention. . .

It would have been nice if they told me about it, but I'm sure she. . . They'll get around to it. Probably next year when she's sixteen.

Either way, I'm over it now. . . Mostly.

I hope Meiling comes. It won't be as fun if she doesn't.
