Hope

You give us hope Lucas.

Toni sat up in his bed, blinking at the darkness that surrounded him. For the past week or so, he had been having the same dream. Aliens show up and when they leave, they want Lucas to go with them. But just as they ask him, the visions fade away, and all that was left was an echo of a voice, telling Lucas he gives them hope.
Slipping silently out of bed, Toni went to the bathroom. After splashing cold water on his face, he fixed his gaze on the reflection in the mirror. He didn't know what he was expecting to see, but, as always, his reflection remained the same. A sigh escaped him and a frustrated look sprang up in his eyes. A week of the same dream and he had no idea what it meant, or even what Lucas' decision was. Why did he never see the end of the dream?
He slammed his hand o to the edge of the sink, taking satisfaction out of the loudness of the bang that was created.

His shoulders slumped and he shook his head at his reflection, berating himself for hitting the sink. Then he stepped back in to the main area of the room. His earlier frustration faded away as he looked at the sleepy face of his young room- mate.
Sorry Luc. I didn't mean to wake you up. Keeping his voice low so as not to disturb him more, Toni quickly walked over to the bunk beds and pulled himself up to the top bunk.
You all right? the youth asked. I heard a bang.
Toni grinned.
How come you never speak so simply when you're properly awake?
Lucas grinned back, and then yawned and Toni pushed him back down on to his bed.
Get some more sleep, he whispered, pulling the blanket back up.
Yes Mum, came the prompt, if slightly slurred response. Toni just smiled and got back in to his own bed. The dream only came once a night so he knew he'd get a few hours sleep. As he closed his eyes he wondered if he would ever get to see the end of the dream. Then he suddenly fell fast asleep.

Like it? Or not? If you don't let me know, I'll never get any better will I? I'm sure you all know what to do dont you? And it really doesn't take all that much effort to click on does it? And if you really want, I'll even put more up so you know what happens in the end.
(Yes, this does have a plot and as soon as I know what it is, I'll incorporate it =) heehee!
