Nightmares and Fears
She woke up to see the morning sunlight filter through the blinds. The warmth of the rays warmed her face. She sat up and stretched. Her neck and back cracked, ridding her of the tension that had accumulated as she slept. She reached over to her nightstand. Putting on her dusty blue glasses, she looked at the clock. It was around 8:00.
'She should be on soon.' The girl thought, flopping back on her bed and closing her eyes. Just then a door opened.
"Rise and shine sleeping beauty." A voice called out to her, and walked over to the bed. "Melissa...are you awake?"
Melissa opened her eyes to the face of a young man. He had jet black hair to his chin, and clear blue eyes. Melissa looked up at his silhouette in the light. Her heart smiled, yet her face did not. She did not want to acknowledge her feelings for him, but ignore them. He did not get the heart felt welcome he had hoped for.
"Seventeen...what are you doing? I'm trying to sleep." Melissa said, propping herself up on her elbows and squinting into the light. Seventeen smirked a playful smirk.
"With your glasses on?" He asked. Melissa reached her hand up to her face and felt her glasses.
"I fell asleep with them on. It happens." She replied.
"You didn't have them on when I came to check on you last night." Seventeen said, pushing a strand of Melissa's curly, dark brown hair behind her ear. She brushed his hand away.
"Seventeen, would you please just go away and let me sleep?" She asked, and rolled over covering her head with a pillow.
Seventeen sat there for a moment, staring at the lump in the bed. Sighing, he stood up and walked to the door. He took one last look at the girl in the bed. 'I can't wait for you forever.' He thought as he shut the door. 'But I'll sure as hell try.'
As he made his way up from the basement, [A.N.~ That's where my room is] he saw Eighteen standing at the top of the steps.
"Shot down again huh?" She asked, an amused smile on her face. Seventeen ignored her. "Why do you even bother Seventeen? She's just not interested. So why even try?"
Seventeen continued to ignore his blonde sister as he sat at the computer. He put the mic headset on, and clicked the mouse on a button on the monitor.
"Halo..." He said into the mic, "She's still sleeping. Sorry."
"That's ok Seventeen," Halo's voice called from the tiny speakers, "Give her a couple more hours. She should be awake then."
"Yeah...I guess." Seventeen replied. A moment later a second voice came from the speakers.
"So, how are 'things' over there?" Trunks asked.
"Seventeen for shot down again." Eighteen called from the background. Seventeen groaned.
"'Things' over here aren't going well. I think this visit will be a good change for her." He said, remembering how cold and withdrawn Melissa had become when her brothers got taken.
"There won't be much of a change." Eighteen said, "You'll go wake her up, she'll tell you to get lost. You'll make her bacon and eggs, she'll eat cold cereal. You'll try to get her attention, she'll ignore you. At night, you'll try and spend time with her, she'll pretend to be tired and go to bed. See the only change is that she'll be doing it there instead of here."
"Eighteen...go away!" Seventeen said annoyed. Trunks and Halo laughed in the speakers.
"Leave him alone Eighteen." Paraffmon said, sitting with Halo and Trunks, "Seventeen could be right. She probably needs a change of place. She's been through a lot in the past while."
"I know. I was kidding." Eighteen said, and went upstairs. Seventeen sighed.
"Seventeen, are you alright?" Halo asked, her voice hinted at worry over the speakers.
"It's nothing. I'm fine." Seventeen answered, then re-thought his answer. "It's Melissa. Things have been so frustrating lately. I've tried everything, but she just keeps pushing me further and further away. I just don't know what to do anymore."
Melissa stood at the foot of the stairs, where Seventeen couldn't see her. She stood there listening to the conversation. When she had had enough, she walked up the stairs. Seventeen turned around to see her.
"Hey," He said, taking the headset off his head and holding it out to her. "Do you want to talk to Halo?" He asked. Silently, Melissa walked over and took the headset and put it on her head. She sat in the chair next to Seventeen and spoke into the mic.
"Hey Halo," she said, trying to sound as cheerful as possible, "Whas up?"
"Nothing much. Trunks and I were wondering when you, Seventeen, and Eighteen were going to get here." Halo replied. Melissa thought for a moment.
"Well, it's about 8:30 here. I still gotta get ready, but it won't take long. We should be leaving here around 9:00. I think it'll take us about four to five hours tops. My flying is still a little slow." She said.
"Ok, so...it's 1:30 for me now, so you should be here between 5:50 and 6:30." Halo calculated.
"Maybe even earlier." Seventeen said from beside Melissa.
"Trunks and Halo have a surprise for you and Seventeen when you guys get here." Paraffmon piped up.
"Paraffmon, that's supposed to be a secret." Trunks groaned. Melissa looked over at Seventeen. He smiled a kawaii smile.
"Oh joy." Melissa said in the most unenthusiastic voice ever. Halo giggled on the other side.
"Don't worry. It's gonna be fun. Anyway, I gotta go. I still have to finish the rooms. How do you feel about sharing with Seventeen?" Halo asked.
"You're kidding...right? Puh-lease tell me you're kidding." Melissa said, looking at Seventeen out of the corner of her eye.
"Actually, I'm not. I kinda have a dilemma. I originally had enough rooms for everyone...but Gohan and Videl decided to come for a visit...as well as Goten. I talked to Eighteen for a bit yesterday, and she said she didn't want to share...so, that leaves you and Seventeen." Halo finished, a hint of tension in her voice. Melissa sat there for a moment.
'I have to share a room with Seventeen...could this get any worse?' She thought.
"Oh, and the room left for you and Seventeen it kinda...only has...one...bed." Halo added.
'Doh!' Melissa thought, mentally kicking herself.
"I hope that's not a problem." Halo said Melissa sat there mentally kicking herself.
"Yeah," She said, her voice a squeak. "That's fine."
"Great," Halo said, "I'll see you later." And a moment later she was gone.
Melissa sat there frozen, with one thought running through her mind. 'I have to sleep with Seventeen?'
Seventeen opened his mouth to say something, Melissa stopped him. "Don't say a word. Not one word." She then stood up, and ran up the stairs to the top level. "EIGHTEEN!" She yelled on the way.
Seventeen sighed, shrugged his shoulders, and went back to the computer.
