-- Part One ... The Girl From The Sea --
Leena woke up, finding herself surrounded by the oceans and herself on a the raft she had secretly brought before going to Opassa Beach. The first thought that entered her mind was, "Where the fuck am I?" She thought back and remembered she fell asleep in reality back at home, and that she met Glenn at Opassa Beach again. He had given her a very pretty necklace and put it around her neck, and she could feel her cheeks getting warm and tinged with red as she remembered that. They had talked about many different things again, how she was turning nineteen and how she was so happy since she would see Serge again.
Serge brought up another thought in her mind. When she first saw him, she was extremely startled since he came so abrubtly at the pier, talking to her as if she knew him. A part of her was suddenly desperately infatuated with him since he was supposed to be dead, she had said she followed him for reasons that weren't the truth. The real truth was the fact she was infatuated with him and wanted to know more about him, which in the end, didn't exactly work because her infatuation became nothing more than infatuation and died out soon anyway.
Still, she wanted it so much, she wanted it so badly. That certain, special, someone. She wanted him so bad and she wanted to have that solid taste of real love one day. But, she didn't have that ... she was actually rather happy when Kid and Serge found each other but she wanted someone too. What about her? She remained somewhat jealous of Kid until she stopped thinking about the whole 'love' issue.
Leena started to think she'd be quite content living for the rest of her life as an old maid who never got married. Of course she scrunched up her nose at that, she never wanted to be an old maid, but more of the 'lone girl adventurer'.
She tried to remember what happened at night, even thought the burning sun made her tired and drowsy. Leena opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out due to her throat burning with thirst.
She had remembered that she had brought a raft before she went to Opassa Beach and hid it under the trees before Glenn came from the ocean to see her. And she went on that raft after he had left and she floated into the see for a while before getting tired and falling asleep with her small blanket she brought along with her. Leena wanted to hit herself on the head for doing such a stupid thing, she hadn't even brought anything but her brown basket with the small blanket, and a orange.
An orange.
That was all she had. A measly, worthless, orange.
She screamed in frustration but it was not quite a scream since her throat was so dry, more like a sound of an anguished bird in pain. And she felt much like one.
Leena reached a hand to her slender neck, the necklace was still there. The necklace was _still_ there. And her head started to spin once more, the necklace _couldn't_ be there. It just wasn't possible and illogical. This was a goddamned dream and her goddamned dream should be over by now.
But she felt the coral necklace laying around her neck and she wrapped her fingers around the charm. She didn't know what to think, to be shocked or relieved or glad or angry or sad or depressed or confused. All she knew was that things in dreams didn't happen in real life or continue into real life and she knew she was awake.
Or was she? She had to be awake. She couldn't have slept for such a long time.
Not only that, fantasy was not reality and all her dreams were fantasies of god-knows-where. In fact, her dreams weren't usually her fantasy like she thought before, she felt the intrusion of someone entering her dream.
Leena felt her stomach twist, what was this? Some sort of twisted joke?
She could hear her mind scream, her mind screaming that this _was_ real and not some joke. But she couldn't believe her mind at it, she knew it was confused and she knew that the heat was probably killing her head right now. Or was it?
After a few hours of pondering and ultimate, infinite boredom, as well as tugging and pulling at her hair; she had fallen asleep only to wake up as the raft shook furiously. Leena opened one eye lazilly, her auburn hair drenched from the salt water was now dried out, stale and brittle from the beating sun. Leena's clothes were all wet and now dry from the sun as well, she had alreayd taken off and dumped her out layer of clothing, including her yellow coat. All she wore now was her homespun, purple dress that was always somewhat covered with her yellow coat.
Leena saw sand, her raft had landed on sand.
Leena ran out of her raft, leaning down to the sand to kiss it. "There is a god..." she whispered to herself.
Suddenly, she heard movement and she looked up to see a girl. A girl who looked much like her. In fact, this was like that one time she went to Serge's HomeWorld and met HomeWorld Leena. The girl dropped the basket she was holding, light olive eyes wide with shock.
"Oh my God!..."
"Where.. am.. I..?" Leena managed to get a croak out of her mouth. THe girl looked at her, awed by the similarity.
"What's your name?" asked the girl.
"Leena," said Leena in a rambling, slurred voice.
"I... uh... I ... I'm Leena as well," the girl said. "But I haven't heard that name for five years. In fact, everyone calls me Neya... but Leena _is_ my birthname..."
"Neya..." Leena managed, "I don't care... I ... need .. water..."
"Come, here," Neya grabbed some water from her basket and gave it to Leena who gulped it down fast.
"I have more back at my village.."
"Arni.." Leena thought to herself. "Damn, and this is how Serge must have felt..."
+++
Leena drank the water in her cup as she settled down in a chair in Neya's home. At first gulping the water as fast as she could, then slowly sipping the water. Neya just looked at her curiously.
Leena noticed that Neya looked like her of course, but, she was still different. Neya seemed taller, and her hair was a browner shade and her green eyes were olive, not the same color as Leena's. Neya's hair was also to her shoulders and her skin was much darker than Leena's pale complexion.
In fact, Leena _felt_ older than Neya.
Leena sighed.
"Neya..." Leena started, Neya's head perked up automatically, eager to know what the stranger would say.
"Do you know a Glenn?" Leena asked, finally saying words that Neya was anxious for.
Neya was about to answer the question until the coral necklace around Leena's neck caught Neya's eye. Neya rushed over to Leena and grabbed the necklace's charm.
"May I see?" Neya asked.
"Sure."
Leena took her necklace off and handed it to Neya.
'This necklace..." Neya gazed at the necklace, her olive eyes which had started to have specks of light brown were glued to the charm. Leena just looked at Neya, wondering what the hell she was doing.
Neya was still enamoured with the charm and her eyes had a look of some confusion on them.
"Do you know what this says?" Neya asked, her eyes still looking at the charm, she brushed one of her stray hairs back behind her ear. For the first time, Leena noticed various piercings all over Neya, including one on her bare belly-button and five on one ear with three on the other.
"No..." Leena said, she had actually never noticed the writing on the charm.
"Look," Neya said, handing the charm back at Leena.
Leena looked at the charm, and she saw in a very small, fine print, writing she could not read. The charm was so shiny, Leena could see her reflection.
Her reflection showed a girl with dull jade eyes and strangly auburn hair that seemed to be dried out from the sun. Leena blinked, she looked absolutely horrible.
"I can't read it," Leena finally replied.
"This says..." Neya started until the door of her house had opened.
A large smile had swept over Neya's face and she lept up, rushing to the door with happiness.
"Brother!" Neya smiled, laughing.
Leena looked confused, from the way Neya had said 'brother', Neya had to have an older brother. But, Leena didn't have an older brother, just a whole bunch of younger siblings.
Neya laughed, rushing back to where Leena sat.
"Meet my brother...he's not really my brother though, I just call him that because we're very close," Neya pointed before dragging a guy in.
A guy who was older than Neya by a few years.
A guy who Leena recognized.
Glenn had a look of extreme shock and Leena felt her heart speed up and her mind spin, her head getting dizzy.
The confusion that had been emitted from the two couldn't be explained in words.
They just stared at each other, Leena sitting on her chair and Glenn standing, his gray hair was the same and his dark eyes were the same.
Except they were filled with shock.
"Glenn, meet the girl from the sea."
