Chapter 25: Dream A Little Dream

It was beautiful out. The sky was a mix of yellow, pink, orange and light blue on the horizon, 'Must be sunrise...it's perfect…' the warm summer wind softly blew against my face, causing my hair, the trees and flowers to softly stir. The field around me of which I sat, was an array of yellows, pinks, reds, blues, purples, greens and many other colors of flowers I've yet to see in life. My blue dress softly swaying in the wind. It was wonderful.

"It's beautiful…" I sighed, looking around.

"I'm glad you like it…" said a voice that I've wanted to hear for a very long time. "Took me a while to create it, even with help…" Slowly, I turned in the direction of the voice and my breath caught.

"J-J-Jimmy?" I said tearfully.

He smiled and nodded. "Hey Cin…" He said walking towards me. "How are ya?"

"How the hell do you think I am, Neutron!?" I said running into his arms. "I thought…I-..I thought you were…d…dead."

"I am, Cindy." He sighed sadly. "You're dreaming."

"Damn…" I sniffled softly. "Who killed you?" I asked.

"I…" He sighed and pulled me away so I could look at him. "I can't tell you…"

"What-why not!" I yelled.

"There's the Cindy I know and love…" He smiled wiping my tear with his thumbs. "I can't tell you because the rules say I can't interfere with Earthly Affairs."

"Since when have you followed rules?" I smirked, making him laugh in return.

"Good point. But these ones I'll follow since they came from the big man, himself."

"What's he like?"

"God…Well, he's got a great sense of humor."

We spent the next few hours talking. I told him what has been going down on earth and he told me what he's been doing. "I've been to see Sarah." He said sadly. "She's been trying to wake up…"

"Really? That's great." I smiled taking his hand.

"She can hear what people on the outside are saying. Says she misses Jak."

"He still think it's his fault…"

"She knows, and he's really gonna get it for pulling a 'pity party'."

"Jak is in love her." I smiled. "But he doesn't even realize it."

"Same with Sarah." He said as I leaned my head on his shoulder. "They got around everything we did wrong." I nodded, and sighed.

"Betty's dead, Jimmy…"

"I know," he smiled. "She helped with this place, along with Eustace. And yes, I'll tell them you said 'thanks'." He said as the sun began to set. He moved my head to look at him. "It's almost time for you to go…"

"No, not yet…" I said as tears brimmed at he edges of my eyes. "I don't want to yet…"

"You'll wake up, even if you don't want to." He said sadly. "Not even I can stop that."

"But I-"

"I know, Cin. I love you, too." He said kissing me softly. "Just remember, I'm always with you." I nodded tearfully as he handed me a red, blue, green and pink mixed flower as the sky and everything around us turned with and bright. He smiled, "I love you…"

"Ditto…" I smiled back, before I couldn't see anything more and my eyes snapped open.

When I opened my eyes, it was pitch-black. Slowly I sat up and looked at he clock, it read One-thirty-three. I turned on the light next to the couch and tried to sit up. As I did, I felt something in my hand, when I looked; I saw the rose Jimmy had given me. I smiled as I walked over to the table and place it into a vase full of water, then headed upstairs. When I got to the hall, I noticed that Jak's room light was on and there was a soft crying for within.

"Jak?" I said as I entered.

"Cindy!" he said surprised. "What-uh-what are you doing up?"

"Isn't that my line?" I smiled, but it soon faded when I saw his sad face. "Why are you crying?"

"I wasn't crying!" he yelled defensively, but quickly calmed down seeing my angry face at him for yelling at me. "I had a bad dream…" he mumbled.

"About?"

"Everyone was yelling at me," he sniffed. "Saying it was my fault, everything bad that happened. But then my dad came and made them go away." He smiled. "He said that I shouldn't believe anything that Karl said. It wasn't my fault, Cindy, and I see that now."

"Then why are you crying?" I smiled.

"It's going to end soon…" he said hauntingly. "All of it. We may not like the answers and most of them will be lies, we're just gonna have to pick them out, but it's going to end very soon."

Well folks that's this chapter! See ya real soon!
