Lana and Emily walked with their umbrellas in the rain. They were both 10
years old and ttally unaware that Emily's time was just a few minutes away.
"Yuck, I hate the rain" Lana cried
"We can still play" Emily told her best friend
"It's slippery!" Lana complained
"It is not"
Emily and Lana walked on the bridge.
"Let's build a boat to put down the river" Lana suggested
"Okay!"
They collected leaves and made a boat that they dropped down the river and giggled as it swam away. Lana and Emily always had the best times together. No matter what they did.
"Let's be best friends forever," Lana said out of the blue
"We will" Emily told her "Don't worry"
The two girls smiled at each other.
"My mom thinks I'm at your house" Emily giggled
"My aunt thinks I'm at yours!" Lana giggled back
The two girls laughed at their clever plan.
"Let's make another boat," Emily said
"Okay! Let me get the stuff"
Lana walked and collected leaves. The rain had made the ground to slippery and she fell into the water.
"Help!" she screamed as she fell
"Lana!" Emily screamed and dived in to save her friend
The current was strong and Lana struggled to stay on top of it.
"Help me!" She screamed repeatedly.
Emily swam to her best friend.
"Lana!" Emily called
"Emily, I'm scared!"
"You can make it!"
"The water's too strong!"
"We can hold on to the branch! We can do it, Lana!"
Lana kicked her legs and tried not to swallow water. She was wet and cold, afraid that she might die at any moment. She wanted to meet her parents, but not this soon!
"You can do it!" Emily was also struggling to stay afloat
Lana could do it. Emily said so, Emily was always right. Lana kicked her legs with all the strength in her body and swam to the branch. She was almost there! She was there! She grabbed on.
"Emily! I did it!" She exepted to see Emily right next to her, but Emily was gone
Lana was in shock! Where was Emily? Wasn't she just there!
"Emily!" She screamed and cried for her best friend "Emily! Emily! Emily! Emily!"

"Lana! Lana!"
Mrs. Kent was shaking her and trying to wake her up. Lana was flailing her arms wildly and screaming "Emily" over and over.
"Lana, It's OK!" Mrs. Kent said soothingly "Wake up"
Lana snapped her eyes open and immediately started crying. Mrs. Kent took her into her arms and comforted her.
"Shh, It was just a dream" She whispered to her
Lana broke from the grip "I saw the whole thing, I relived how Emily died!" She cried
"It's OK" Martha said to her, smoothing her hair
"It should have been me," Lana cried
Clark walked into the livingroom, concerned. Lana looked at him, feeling self-conscious. He looked so cute in his pajamas and his messed up hair. Although she did too, she did not think so.
"Is everything okay?" He asked, "I thought I heard Lana screaming but then I thought I might be dreaming and.."
"She just had a nightmare" Mrs. Kent told him
"Emily?" He guessed
Lana nodded "It was so real, like I was reliving it again" then she looked at Mrs. Kent "Sorry for waking you up"
Martha smiled "It's OK, as long as you are OK"
Lana nodded "I'm fine"
"You sure?" Clark asked
Lana nodded, smiling. She wasn't fine though; she was seriously disturbed but chose to hide it.
"I'm sorry for waking you guys up" She apologized
Martha and Clark both forgave her and left to go back to sleep. Lana was too shaken up to sleep. She turned on the TV watching old 'Nick at Nite' shows just praying clone Emily was OK.
