Prologue.

Arthur awoke to a ringing phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Arthur."

"Abby, you okay?"

"Yeah. I miss you though. And I've been having weird dreams."

"Weird dreams like what?" Arthur sat up, running a hand through his hair.

"Just weird. Singing, dancing, monsters and princes."

"Sounds interesting. Is the new family any good?"

"Better than the last one." He imagined her shrugging.

"Good. Have you spoken to our brothers lately?"

"Nah. You?"

"No. We're terrible siblings, aren't we?"

"Not to each other." She was quiet for a moment. "You coming to see me soon?"

"Very soon. In fact, we're in the same country, even the same state for once."

"Yay!"

"My thoughts exactly."

"Love you Arthur."

"Love you too, have a good day at school."

He hung up, and stood, stretching. He took a shower, washing the night off him. He felt grimy, even though he hadn't been drinking or anything the night before.

He'd had strange dreams of a great maze.

He looked at himself in the mirror as he brushed his teeth and spat white froth into the sink.

"It's not real," he told himself. "It was years ago. Yeah, you have dreams sometimes, and so does she. Not surprising. It doesn't mean anything.

His reflection did not look convinced.
