Part 2~The Awakening
The faces of her friends blurred and then sharpened as her dumbstruck brain tried to figure out the impossible. Then, the faces joined to become an increasingly sharp picture of Maria, bending over the cage.
No! Bijou thought No! The wedding! I need to find out! She forced her mind back to the chapel. But it was no use. The dream was gone. All that was left was Boss, sitting wistfully at the altar, undoubtibly dreaming about a certain someone...
"Boss!" Bijou shouted
"Bijou!" he looked up. "Bijou, my love! I love you more than I can say! More than all the stars in the sky and all the fish in the sea!"
"Boss, I do not understand!"
"Bijou...Bijou..." his voice got softer. "I love you, Bijou...Bijou..." He faded away as the face of Maria grew closer...
"Bijou!...Bijou!...Wake up Bijou!" Bijou looked up into the smiling face of Maria, half expecting to see Boss in her place. "Hey sleepy head! I thought you'd never wake up! Sleep well?"
Ooh yes, very well!... thought Bijou automatically. She shook her head rapidly What am I saying?!! Of course not! It was a nightmare!...What a strange dream...
"Well, I hope you slept well, because we've got a big day ahead of us!" Maria seemed excited about something.
heke?!
"Don't give me that look, of course we do! It's your birthday, remember?"
