Fireflies
This story is dedicated to the following: my friends for being constant inspirations, sources of amusement, and annoyances, (Silverfern for not making fun of my fandoms (and being in most of them), Bluefire for never failing to crack me up, Charles for being like a journal that gives advice and snarky comments, Brigitte for matching me in nerdiness and far surpassing me in awesomeness, Olivia and Anh Thi for their ever-cheerfulness, and Juneseo for telling me his dumb jokes and actually liking my Gollum impression), YouTube for teaching me most of the songs that appear in this story, and most of all, everyone who believes in reincarnation, for being the reason I wrote this story. Shine on, you crazy diamonds.

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cuz everything is never as it seems...
