"Yo, Pinky"

White walls. No, steel walls. Passing cages. A voice. Familiar... young... comforting, in a way. Hands reaching out.

"Pinky! Yo, Pinks!"

The voice tries to be confident, but it's edged with panic. His hands reach out again through the bars.

"Where are you going? Pinky? Say something!"

Tears. Both of us in tears. Turn around. Why can't I turn around? Something pushes me away, foreward. Can't leave. Wait.

"Pinks? Look at me! Please, turn around!"

Wait. Please, wait. Needs me. He needs me.

"..."

"Don't leave me!"

Momoko woke with a start, shooting up from her resting place. She was drenched in sweat and breathing harshly. She looked around, taking in her surroundings; from the winding stair case, to the glittering glass hearts hanging from the high ceiling to the checkered tile floor, to cherry-colored furniture including the loveseat on which she currently rested on. With a sigh, she laid back down.

'I'm in my secret place' she thought with a smile.

Momoko had always loved her secret place. It was the one place she felt free to be herself, not the idol and hero everyone expected her to be. She'd found it years ago, just an old abandoned house tucked away deep into the country, far away from the city, and now spent more time there then at the "home" she shared with her sisters. Save the small village nearby (where, blessing of blessings, no one had ever even heard of the great PPG), there was nothing around for miles. Not even her sisters knew about this place, which, to be honest, was exactly how she liked it.

Momoko yawned and stared off into space, thinking about the dream.

'It's been awhile since I've had that dream.' she thought. 'It's always so blurry, and yet it's so... familiar. Almost like it's real.'

'I wonder why it bothers me so much?'

So lost in her troubled thoughts, Blossom was unaware of a certain pair of red eyes that were watching her.

(Brick)

There was nothing fun in the closet. At least, nothing fun that I could actually get into. Everthing in that room had needed a damn password, and since I was so low on power and didn't feel like smashing everything open, I left. I went out of the room and wandered around aimlessly. My leg was still hurting like a bitch, but hey, I could still limp.

I could tell there was someone else in the house. I could smell them.

'Maybe my Mystery Girl?' I mused.

Whoever it was, their scent was amazing. Like jasmine, or grapefruit or... sugar cookies. Weird. But nice. I wandered over to a staircase and started making my down. I had gone down almost ten steps when I heard a loud moan. Out of instinct, I rushed back up five steps where I knew I'd be half hidden by shadows. Catiously, I looked down through the railings.

And I saw her.

The most beautiful, precious angel in the world.

For a moment, I swear, I couldn't breath. I seriously had to catch my breath.

She lay sleeping on a cherry-colored loveseat, a troubled expression plaguing that perfect face. She wore a short, white dress with her long red hair tied back in a ponytail. Her pale peaches and cream skin was covered in a light layer of sweat. Something was bothering my angel, hurting her. I had to-

'Snap out of it!' I jerked away from the stair railing.

"What hell was that, Brick?" I scolded myself quietly. Suddenly, I heard a harsh breath- my angel's breath. Slowly, I looked back down.

She was awake. Her eyes scanned around the room for a moment, then she seemed to relax. Speaking of eyes...

'Pink? ...Well that's new.'

She closed her eyes again, and after a few moments, even though I could tell she was still awake, I lifted myself over the railing and flew down to her. Luckily, unlike my other powers, flying didn't seem to take too much effort. I landed a few feet away from her and for a few minutes just watched her. Not really thinking, I stepped foreward on my bad leg. Like an idiot, I cried out and fell foreward.

'Idiot, idiot, IDIOT!' What the hell was wrong with me today?

"Oh my god! Are you okay?"

Slowly, I lifted my head and came face-to-face with my angel.

Scene!

Heh, this is so short yet it took 4ever! T.T

I know this is weird so far, but it's gonna get interesting quick. Trust me. ;)

I think I'll start talking about what's happening with the others (Kaoru and Butch & Miyako and Boomer) soon. After the next chappie, maybe.

Review plz!
