I hurt so bad inside
I wish you could see
The world through my eyes
It stays the same-Korn
 
 
            Brennan smiled when he saw her, the sunlight shining off of her bright hair.
 
            "Figured you'd be here," he said.
 
            "Well, you know me. Old predictable Emma," she exclaimed staring off into the sky.
 
            "You all right?" he asked sitting down on the warm ground.
 
            He looked over at her. She began to say something then changed her mind, she just nodded. Brennan leaned back on his elbows and looked around the small clearing in the woods that Emma had long ago claimed as her own.
 
            "OW!" yelled Brennan.
 
            "What's wrong?" asked Emma turning around to face him.
 
            "I slipped," he said looking up from the ground.
 
            Emma giggled behind her hand.
 
            "Oh yeah," he said "Real funny."
 
            "Come on klutzy," she said hauling him up "Its only a few more feet."
 
            Emma soon stopped in a small clearing, it was sunny and the grass was a deep green color. Emma smiled and spread out the small blanket they had brought, Brennan set down the stereo and the basket with their books in it.
 
            "It's pretty," he said.
            "Its my home away from home," said Emma smiling.
 
            Emma looked at him and smiled. She knew what he was thinking about because it was the same memory she was remembering. She breathed in deeply; it was nice to be up there with him, she felt protected.
 
            "Em?" asked Brennan as he lay back on the blanket "Whatcha thinking about?"
 
            "Life," she replied quietly "Do you ever think about what life would be like if none of had ever met?"
 
            "I actually try not too," he said "Why?"
 
            "Just thinking," she replied and looked back up into the sky.
 
            "Liar," he whispered.
 
            He would never understand her, he thought. The way she saw the world and the way he saw it would never, could never be the same. He saw people, things, colors; she felt feelings, pain, love, and jealousy. She's seen things that he would never be able to comprehend. 
 
            Emma knew what he was thinking and as much as it pained her to think about, she knew he was right. He would never be able to fully comfort her or protect her, because he didn't see it. He didn't see the monsters that were in her head. She sighed deeply and wiped away a tear from her eyes. It broke her heart to feel this way, to feel so split up. She loved Brennan but couldn't see them as anything but what they were at that time. Two friends dancing around an endless circle of Love and pain.
 
            "Emma?" asked Shalimar over their com-links.
 
            "Yeah Shal?"
 
            "You have a call," came the reply.
 
            "Patch it into my cell?" asked Emma.
 
            "Sure," Shalimar replied.
 
            "Thanks Shal," Emma said picking up her phone.
 
            "Hello Emma," said Puck.
 
            "Hi Puck," she said looking at Brennan.
 
            She giggled when she saw the look on his face. A strange emotion filled Emma, it was a mix between jealousy and anger, and she laughed again.
 
            "How are you?" she asked.
 
            "Excellent," he replied "I have a question for you."
            
            "Yes?" asked Emma.
 
            "How would you like to go to the ballet with me tonight? See, the mayor gave all the members of the troupe tickets and I just can't find a date." He exclaimed.
 
            "Gee, I don't know whether to be flattered you asked, or upset that I was your last resort." Laughed Emma.
 
            "Say yes?" asked Puck.
 
            "Yes," replied Emma.
 
            "Excellent," said Puck "Meet me at the club where the show was."
 
            "Okay," she said smiling.
 
 
 
Revolution.
