AN: hi :D this beginning scene just sorta came into my head, so i thought I'd make a fanfic out of it. i hope you like it ^^ then the title came into my head, and i was like. OH MY GOD. THIS WORKS :3 have fun reading this, kitties!
..
.
Closing my eyes, I laid back on the soft light blue comforter and gingerly placed my head in a comfortable position on the pillow. here I go, I thought.
I relaxed all of the muscles in my legs, leading up to my chest, and the finally felt at peace. I began to control my breathing, letting equal breaths in and out. I soon let my mind drift, trying to drift into sleep.
As always, when I 'woke', it was dark. when looking down, I saw a new white collar shirt with matching white pants now adorning my own scrawny body. I looked around, and saw multiple colored lights flowing around. the closer one came to me, the easier it was to read out the name underneath each glowing orb. A large flash of extremely light blue came into my vision, as I looked over to see a young blond girl standing in her usual white dress a few feet over.
"Roxas" she breathed.
"Hey Naminé. what's up?" I asked.
"Nothing much. So who's dream do we want to go into this time?" she replied, walking over to where I was standing. There was a faint white glow all around her figure, as the scent of lilies was given off. "I really want to go back to that Marluxia guy's dream again. His dreams are always so much fun to be in" she squealed.
"You can go if you want. I think I'm just going to hang out here." I answered walking away.
"Suite yourself!" she called, and went looking for the light pink orb that we had been using the past few days.
As I walked around the blackness, I stared at all the variations of color around me. one dark blue orb read "AQUA STRIFE". My mom's. I was tempted to go into my mother's dream, but decided it was best to stay out of it at the moment.
I peered up to see a swirl of orbs above me, like the most beautiful tornado-like rainbow one could ever imagine. dark colors such as black and midnight blues were prominent, but there were also a few white and sunshine yellows too.
ever since I could remember, I've always had the ability to trespass into other people's dreams. I used to think it was normal, until one day my mother was telling my father, brother and I about one of her crazy dreams, where I was having a normal conversation about our day with her while sitting on the ocean. she said it was the most normal dream she's ever had, and she had no idea why. I thought about telling her that I purposefully went into her dream, but I thought it would be best to keep it to myself.
Since then, I looked foreword to sleep, just to see what kind of dreams people have at night. As far from what I could tell, this didn't affect me in the slightest. I've never really had a dream of my own though. I'd walk all around the black space, looking for an orb that had my name on it, but never came across one.
It wasn't until I was ten years old that I met Naminé. I was coming out of someones nightmare, and had curled into a ball, trying to forget the awful dream the person had, that she spotted me. She was standing quite a distance away from me, her big blue eyes reading a name on a silver orb. as I let a cry escape my lips, she looked over and came rushing to my side.
"What's wrong?" she had asked, kneeling down and putting a cautious arm on my shaking shoulder.
I was silent for a few seconds, wondering if she was real. I hadn't ever seen any other person in this darkness before. "I came out of a scary nightmare" I had replied. she looked at me for a few seconds, probably wondering what to do, until she sat right next to me, and took my hand into hers.
"Want to tell me about it?" she had asked. I peered up to look into her angelic blue eyes, seeing concern etched all around them.
I pointed to a black orb floating just a few inches away. "I went into that one. It started out fine.. but then.. this women. She was just.. killing everybody. and I was one of her victims.. and I just couldn't get away fast enough.. and she... she stabbed me.. butchered me... and I couldn't get away." at this point, I was trembling and had to tuck my head back under my arms, to try to cover up the fact that tears were slowly rolling down my face.
The girl leaned in closer, and had given me a light, comforting hug. I leaned into her as she held for those few moments. I didn't even know this girl, but I somehow knew she was a good person.
"I'm Naminé. what's your name?" she asked once I finally settled down.
"Roxas." I replied.
"You see that black orb there? that you came out of?" she asked, pointing to the orb that was now several feet away, and still drifting. "well, I've figured that the darker the color of the orb, the more.. disturbing the dreams are. the colors seem to dictate that state of mind that person who is dreaming has. So if a person has a light orange color-" she said, pointing to a nearby light orange orb "- the more pure and better the dream. I'm impressed that you went into the black dream though. You've got guts" she said with a giggle. I looked over, and gave her a quick chuckle.
For almost seven years now, Naminé and I have been meeting here everyday, just going into people's dreams. The dreams that we've visited have always been completely different from one another. You could be catching flying cats in a castle in one dream, and then witnessing an couple break up in another. I've always wondered what it would be like to have my own dreams, but just dismissed the thought, thinking that I'd rather invade other people's dreams, than have my own. It was just more fun that way. We also decided to name our abilities - "Dream Dropping". because we're "dropping" into people's "dreams", you know?
As I walked deeper into the black expanse, I tried to find a color that stood out to me. there were so many different shades of reds, blues and greens, it was hard to choose one to invade. At last, I noticed a shimmering light gold that was floating a small distance off. Gold was extremely rare here, let alone a shimmering one! I walked up to the small orb, and cupped it in my hands. I relaxed a bit, and controlled my breathing. I felt my mind start to wonder, and soon felt myself be sucked into the tiny object.
Going into the dream was always one of the best parts. You had no idea what was coming, and since it was a dream after all, it really could be anything. A rush of black surrounded my vision, but soon a bright light could be seen in the distance. With a thud, I felt the impact of landing in the dream. I moved around a bit, testing each of my limbs, to find that I was laying on a beach. the smell of salt invaded my nostrils, as the sound of seagulls and crashing waves came at me. I slowly opened my eyes to see a vivid blue sky and a big bright shiny sun looking down on me.
In the past, when I went into people's dreams, I was always just another random person. But on the few occasions where I went into people's dreams who knew me, and were dreaming about me at the moment, then I'd just take the place as 'me' in their dream. there can't be two "Roxas"s, right?
So as I got to my feet, I heard my name be called out in the distance.
"Roxas! Get over here! you're going to miss this!" I looked over to a mid-sized coconut tree, to see my brother Sora waving towards me, a grin plastered on his goofy face. I could make out two figures behind the tree, looking like they were about to be in some sort of battle. As I got closer, I recognized one as Riku, (Sora's love interest - though he would never in his right mind admit it), and Kairi, his ex-girlfriend-now-best-friend.
"Roxas! check it out! they're about to battle for my love!" Sora screamed.
"Shut up Sora, you idiot!" Kairi screeched back. in real life, i had never seen Kairi so angry. "This is personal! This has nothing to do with you!"
"Oh yeah right" Riku replied solemnly. "You want my little Sora-kins all to yourself!" he screamed, motioning to Sora. At that, I looked at Sora for a reaction. his face was bright red, yet he was still smiling.
"Only in your dreams." I mumbled to myself. "Hey, Sora!" I yelled up to the goofy brunet on the tree, "Who do you choose? The suave silver-haired-hottie? or the red-head-blast-from-the-past?" I screamed up to him, laughing in the end. before I could hear his response, i bolted past them, towards the jungle. The more confusing the dreams are, the better.
I ended up just walking around the jungle, waiting for the dream to end. There were only two ways that dreams ended. One was to wait for the dreamer to finish their dream. Another was to fall asleep in that dream. I decided it would be best to just fall asleep, instead of waiting to see how the "Battle for Love for Sora's Heart" would turn out. I found a small clearing on the forest floor that had moss overgrowing on a large tree trunk. I sat down on the leafy plants, and laid back against the somehow comforting tree. I looked around to see ferns and plants growing out from the forest floor, with light filtering through the giant trees. I closed my eyes, and waited for the black tunnel to appear, so that I could get back to the other orbs. once the light appeared, I headed for it, and closed my eyes.
When I opened them, I was back in the colorful expanse that was the billions of people's dreams. The gold shimmering orb was just inches from my face, where the name "SORA STRIFE" was shining, written in a fancy script floating underneath the gold. As I got up, I made a mental note of what to look for if I ever felt like crashing one of Sora's dreams again.
I looked around to see if Naminé was there, but couldn't spot her, so I decided to just keep walking to find another dream. I found a few cool colors that seemed nice, bit no one I particularly knew in real life. It was always more fun to drop in on people's dreams who I knew. a few feet away, I spotted a red floating orb. as I got closer, I noticed that there was a faint orange-gold glow around it, that somehow created a pink gradient to the red. As i got closer, I read the name "AXEL SINCLAIR" written in a fancy red script. I'd never seen an orb with different colors before, so i decided to drop in on his dream. Though just as i was about to step foreword to the usual white light, I heard a loud beeping sound. I looked around, trying to find the source of it, when I was outed from the tunnel, and brought back to the other orbs. I suddenly got to my feet, savaging for Naminé.
I woke with a start. I opened my eyes to see the familiar light blue walls, and a certain bed-headed brunet standing at my bedroom doorway. "Turn off your alarm, Roxas! it's really loud!" he screamed, trying to be heard over my alarm clock. I reached up up to smack the snooze button on my alarm clock which was sitting on my night stand, and let out small groan.
I wanted to say goodbye to Naminé before I left. we always said goodbye to each other every night, not knowing if our Dream Dropping abilities would still work the next night.
Pushing back my covers, and set my feet on the plush white carpet. Looking around at the piles of clothes in m room, I found a pair of black skinny jeans, a black wife-beater tank top, and an extremely over-sized white sweatshirt. I snapped on my usual checkered wristband, and slipped into a pair of black converse. I honestly hated Monday mornings, and felt no desire to dress up too nicely. Except for my hair. I grabbed my bottle of "Got2B" hair gel, and headed to the bathroom. I brushed my golden blond hair in a way that had my bangs swooping over my forehead, and the rest was piled on my right. As I let loose with the hair gel, I made tiny spikes that went went in what seemed pointed to the left, but still looked nice. As the gel dried, I ran a comb loosely through my hair, making sure the spikes weren't hard, and giving my hair a rough-yet-sexy look. Smiling at my appearance, I glanced at the clock on the bathroom wall. It read six fifty. i had 30 minutes until school starts! and I have to skateboard there! I quickly brushed my teeth, and raced downstairs to grab my black backpack, only to speed into the kitchen to stuff it with any kind of food i could.
i came out of the kitchen to yell up the stairs to my parents, "Going to school! be home by three! love you!" grabbing my skateboard, I rushed out the door to head to school. To make it worse on this already awesome Monday morning, it was muggy and cold out this November morning. As I started down the sidewalk, picking up sped, I noticed Sora getting into Riku's white Toyota a couple blocks down. He spotted me as I came closer, and waved to my in my general direction.
"Roxas! Riku's going to drive us today!" he screeched. I smiled, happy to know I'd make it to school on time.
"Do you even have your license?" I asked.
"Yeah" replied the silver-hair man from the driver's seat, Sora taking shot-gun. "I got it last week. I finally passed my driving test" he said, a slight smug smile plastered on his face.
Closing the door, it took me a second to register what he had said. "What do you mean by 'finally'?" and found out, as Riku lurched the car forward suddenly, speeding down our back road.
This is going to be one hell of a day.
