As Misty drifted off to sleep, she couldn't help but wonder if she would dream of the stranger.
Misty found herself in the same place on the dark beach. "Hi." Said the stranger. Misty smiled and looked toward the voice, knowing she wouldn't see anything. She heard him sit down on the sand, this time closer to her. "Is this a real place?" She asked. Though she could hear nothing, she felt him nod. "The light does almost the same thing there too." Misty looked into the darkness. "It would be easier if I knew who I was talking to." The stranger shifted. "I will tell you, Misty. But I can't yet." Misty looked up at the starry sky and noticed that the stranger was suddenly silent. "What is it?" She asked. "Just the way your eyes shine when you look at the stars. It looks like there are stars inside them" Misty smiled. "You seem to like to compliment me." She said. "And why wouldn't I?" The stranger replied. Misty smiled and turned her face back to the sky. "Misty-" The stranger stopped as if he couldn't continue. Misty opened her eyes and turned toward her admirer. "What is it?" She asked. The stranger hesitated. "May I-" He stopped again, sounding uncomfortable. "May you what?" Misty prompted. She heard him take a deep breath. "May I-kiss you?" Misty felt taken aback, but just for a moment. She reached out for his face and they slowly leant toward each other. Their lips met and Misty felt that even if she was only in a dream, it was the most real thing she had ever known. After a time, the two slowly pulled away from each other. "It's time for me to go now, isn't it?" She said. Misty awoke before he could answer.
