eBay Wishes Do Come True

Emerald eyes scanned the computer screen as fingers slid across the keyboard. Slowly, a smile covered a freckle-flecked face and a snicker slipped out from between grinning lips.

At that moment, the door to the room opened and in stepped a tiny woman balancing a small stack of heavy schoolbooks.

"What's so funny, Cath?" she asked.

"I'm on eBay," the other woman said.

"And?" She dumped her books onto the bottom bunk with a small grunt. She brushed her long blonde bangs out of her eyes as she came over to look at the screen. "A wish? For a quarter? What the hell?" she asked incredulously.

"Isn't it funny?" giggled Cath. "Wanna go for it, Kisa?"

"It's your money…" groused the punkish Goth. Still, she looked vaguely interested. "What would you wish for?"

"Hmmm…" Cath clicked the 'Buy it Now' button and went through the motions of buying a wish. "I wish for…" She finished off the process.

"…For what?"

"The Saiyuki boys to be real!"

"…That would be cool, but you're a fucking moron. That wish can't come true." Kisa ran her fingers through the shorter black part of her hair, ruffling it.

"It was worth twenty-five cents, though," laughed the Irish-American. A dialogue box popped up suddenly. "Huh?"

Wish Granted

The two unlikely friends stared at the screen. "O-kay…" murmured Cath. She clicked 'OK'. "That was weird."

"Uh hu. C'mon. I'm starved." Kisa dragged Cath to her feet. As the punk moved to the door, her foot hit something soft. Glancing down, she saw the felt plushie that the two girls often called 'Sanzo-chibi'. "How did you get on the floor?" she muttered as she picked up the scowling felt toy and tossed it back up onto the top bunk. "Let's go."

Both girls exited their dorm. It was a beautiful day outside and the sun felt really good.

Kisa Eaglehart was your average American punk. The sun kissed her skin just enough so she had a tan line where her swimsuit ended. Her hair was short in the back… punkish short and black with purple streaks. Her bangs were a lot longer than the rest of her hair and bleached blonde. Kisa had gray eyes that betrayed her mood like ripples in water betraying where a stone had been dropped in. Currently, she was dressed in a black sports bra, baggy cargo jeans, and fingerless black biker gloves that went up to cover her biceps.

Her unlikely friend, Catherine McCoy, was almost a virtual opposite of the rather outspoken punk. She had reddish-brown hair that fell down to the middle of her back and emerald green eyes. Her skin, unlike Kisa's (which tanned easily), was spattered liberally with freckles… even in places where the sun never touched. She called it her 'Irish Curse'. Currently, she was wearing an unbuttoned white shirt over a dark green tank and fitted black jeans.

The two of them walked along, chatting brightly and laughing over Cath's 'stupid wish'. It took them an hour and a half to return back to their dorm. When they returned, they worked on their homework and saved their conversation for helping each other.

Finally, the dreaded homework was over with and they changed for bed. Cath changed into a soft cotton muscle-tee. It was one of several she managed to steal from her older brother, Carl, the last time she had been at home. Kisa had chosen an oversized button down and only buttoned four or five of the seven buttons, which left her black satin panties still exposed.

The younger of the two girls climbed up onto the top bunk, where she liked to nest. She flopped backwards onto her pillow… and shot back up again, rubbing the back of her head. "Owww," she moaned. Looking at her pillow, she saw Goku-chibi lying on her pillow with his usual wide grin, looking very innocent. However, something was very different. A gleam of metal came from Goku-chibi's felt diadem… and reached her hand out. Her fingers came down on cool metal.

"What the hell!" she exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Cath called up, having settled down on the bottom bunk.

"Why the fuck did you mess with my Goku-chibi!" Kisa said, leaning over the edge of the bed to glare at her roommate. At Cath's look of confusion, Kisa thrust the plushie into her line of sight. "See, you ass!" Sure enough, there was a gleam of gold where Goku-chibi's one-time felt coronet was. Kisa then noticed something else. "And his HAIR! His hair's all… hairy?"

"Now that's an accurate description…" deadpanned Cath. She wasn't looking all that close at the plushie, for something else had caught her eye. Gojyo-chibi was laying face down, but his hair wasn't made of stylized felt anymore. "Huh?"

"What?"

"Gojyo-chibi," Cath said, lifting the doll. Its hair moved freely… key word being 'hair'. "When did you get Barbie hair?" she muttered as she sifted her fingers through the hair. It felt more real than 'Barbie hair' though.

"Barbie hair?" Kisa asked, her eyebrow arching. "What are you talking about?"

"Gojyo-chibi's hair! It's not felt anymore!" Immediately she went to find the other plushie buried into her sheets. Her fingers found it and pulled it out. The plushie was virtually the same save for minor differences. One, the Hakkai-chibi had the same hair-thing going… Two, the Hakkai-chibi's one-time stitched monocle was now three-dimensional and made of metal and glass. "Okay. This… is weird."

"Tell me about it…" Kisa had once again vanished and when Cath looked over the edge, she saw that Kisa was cradling Sanzo… And Sanzo's hair was just like the others. "Okay… I'm going to bed now."

"Why?"

"Because… this is a fucking dream and I feel I should be in bed so if this really is a dream, I'll be in bed to wake up…"

"That made no sense…"

Kisa ignored the Irish-American and buried under her covers. After a long moment, Cath also decided it was time to turn in… This had to have been a dream. It was too weird otherwise.
