Dedicated to and requested by 'SwedenSpeedway'. Moon belongs to him and Amy belongs to Sega and Sonic Team...(maybe one day)
Enjoy!
I sit on the swing, swaying left to right as I'm caught up in my thoughts. Too preoccupied to notice her approaching, so when she speaks I jump up of the swing and land on the floor, sprawled out in a tangled mess. She lightly titters.
"Hey Moon! Are you...Okay? Heh. What were you doing here before I came? You seemed so lost in thought and distant..." I look up from the ground, my thoughts disturbed.
"Hey Amy, take three guesses." I say a smile present on my face despite the leaf resting on my nose.
She giggles while pausing to think, "Could it be that you were thinking?"
I nod my head while showing of my pearly whites in a welcoming smile, "You know me well! I was just thinking about the world and how others see it. What it would be like for others to rely on you, like a superhero? I think I want to be a superhero... I know that it's a lot of pressure but it's very rewarding, wouldn't you agree? You get to help loads of people from bullies like Jack and...And...You get to help people!"
I take a deep breath after my small monologue...
What will she say to that?
I look into her jade eyes, searching for anything to show she thinks I'm crazy. But I can't find anything; I guess she is the only other individual not to judge me...
My mother being the other someone!
"That's a good ambition; you'd make a great hero Moon! I believe you will! I don't know what I want to be when I'm older...But I guess I'll just have to see what the future holds! My destiny waits!" She melodramatically announces, her arms thrown out in a 'ta-da' manner.
"I'll predict your future then!" I declare, crossing my legs as if about to meditate...
"Hmmm," I begin to chant slowly, while moving my hands in a circular motion as if I'm holding a crystal ball, "I see blue skies, sun spells and bit of cloud here and there but they will pass...Oh what's this...Uh-oh, I see a grave depression that quickly passes into a dazzling rainbow until finally we have a starry night!"
I hold my face, a mystical yet blank expression present. How will she react to my joke?
"Well, now I know everything my life holds...There are no surprises left! Thanks a lot Moon!" She sticks out her bottom lip as it quivers slightly.
I'm about to start a long line of apologies but then it dawns on me she's only playing along.
"How about you predict my future?" I ask her as she quickly banishes the playful frown and replaces it with a smile.
"Okay!" She crosses her legs and begins to hum.
Suddenly a purple gypsy head scarf appears over her pointy pink ears and bangs, gold sequins hang off the ends
I sit and ogle at her appearance, the new object just appeared from no where...
Like her hammer!
Her piko-piko hammer!
I shudder at the thought of the heavy weapon and concentrate on Amy's low humming, "Close your eyes, Moon! I need to see into your soul as I predict your expectations for the upcoming future!"
I do as she says, I shut me eyes tight.
If she told me to jump, I'd ask how high! Why? Because I trust her! She's my best friend! I would do anything for her; even risk my own life just to insure she lived!
"You can open your eyes now..." I hear her voice ring out.
I open my eyes, surrounded by Tarot Cards of all kinds...
"Where did these come from?" I quiz while looking at all of them, each one full of colour!
"The same place as my hammer and scarf, silly!" She sings.
And just where exactly do they come from? She's not even enlightened my in the slightest, I'm still as clueless about her cards and hammer and possible other objects...
"You're future...You'll meet new people, but you'll never forget me..." She says pointing to a card, under her breath she adds, "I made sure of that!"
She must have forgotten I've got wolf hearing! But I wonder what she possibly means by that...
I suppose I'll find out when the time is right, I just have to have patience!
"And this one means you'll have great power before finally this one..."She pauses unsure.
What does it say? What does it mean?
"This one means...death. But it's fuzzy and hazy...It doesn't mean you'll die, but I don't...I can't read it properly, it's too confusing and it's not clear enough... I've had a vision of claws and fangs and a blur of blue and...I'm sorry Moon, I don't understand it! I wish I did... But don't worry, my father says these cards are just a load of rubbish...Actually he thinks everything in my life is a load of rubbish...I hate him, Moon! I know I shouldn't but I do! And I don't feel bad for saying that, it just makes me feel sad that I don't feel bad!" Suddenly tears erupt from her eyes like ash from a volcano.
"Hush, hush..."I try to soothe her, "I'll take you to my house and we can have a nice cup of milk, that'll make you feel better!"
I comfort her, my own uncertainties about the 'death card' pushed aside as I do so.
"Why milk?" She hiccups.
"I don't drink anything but milk. Soda makes me all shaky...Milk is good for your teeth!" I tell her, earning a small smile as I walk her to my house!
Friends forever, always there for each other!
