Title: Orange – 012
Fandom: The Moon-Spinners (movie)
Summary: Nikki dreams before arriving in Crete.
A/N: Well. I have accepted the fanfic100 challenge and will be writing 100 ficlets for the Moon-Spinners movie. Oh, you know the vintage Disney movie with Hayley Mills. Yes, twee I know, but it made such an impact on me when I was young. I always wanted to have an adventure and run around the hills of Crete.
These will essentially feature the character of Nikki Ferris from the movie, not the book (although I really recommend reading it.) They take place before, during and after the movie and are not in any particular order.
I hope you enjoy reading them! Please let me know what you think.
Nikki's first night in Athens she had the most vivid and lucid dreams.
There were animals everywhere. Large jungle cats with brilliant oval eyes that watched her as she walked past. Her feet and arms were bare and the heat was overwhelming. She felt no fear as she moved through their territory. Bright sun that should have blinded her was reflected on a pool in front of her. She looked at her reflection and smiled back at the face that wasn't hers.
When she woke up she felt conversely more rested and yet more restless than she ever had before. The next morning she would blame it on the flight, the rich food and the glass of red wine Aunt Frances allowed her. Dreams were only dreams and Nikki had never really got on with Freud in her studies so she dismissed the dream with her first cup of milky coffee.
She'd remember the dream later when she'd burst into a sitting room on a large yacht and was confronted with a cheetah lounging on a velvet bed and she had to bargain for a man's life while dripping the Mediterranean all over the floor.
