It could be worse I guess. Dunno how though. And the last word pair is a dream.

Some days left you wondering why you were the only normal person you knew.

Other days, Normal showed up on your doorstep with divorce papers and her lawyer.

. . .

Today was definitely a 'Lawyer' day.

Naru always thought she lived the normal life. Doing all her homework on time. Waiting by the phone on the off chance that her boyfriend or girlfriend might just call. It was a normal life. Wake up, school, work, sleep, repeat. It was a simple enough system, but it worked for her.

Then she had to show up. Dressed in her long black cloak, all fangs and blue skin and gothicness. It was herself. She was older of course, and looked like she'd been a few nasty wars, but Naru was sure it was herself. Older of course. Practically middle aged and ready for a mid life crisis.

The two had spent a small amount of time together. Discussing her everyday life, the older version of herself looking nostalgic at times as she spoke. Spoke about her friends, her family, her classes and part time job. Then she asked it, it seemed so simple and innocent the way she asked.

"You know that none of this is real, correct?"

It was very blunt. Like asking for the current time from a stranger. And the worst part of it all? Naru deeply wished her world had shattered. She wished her world had come to a stop, and that everything else in the world wasn't continuing on merrily. Then it would have at least meant something.

Because she could tell. If Usagi was sad, it would rain. When she was happy, there was sun. She couldn't remember when she started high school, but all the classes where becoming repetitive. People were always acting their nicest, and everything was perfect.

Too perfect.

And that's why they where here. The older version of herself went to go talk to her best friend Usagi while she waited on the swings across from her friend's house. Simply by looking at the sky, one could tell what was happening inside, dark clouds rolling in off the horizon as her elder self convinced Usagi that everything was just a dream. Usagi's Dream.

Naru, this Naru, could only look at the colored threads of the friendship bracelet that Usagi had given her years ago, and wonder about her future. Was she just a figment of Usagi's imagination? When everyone woke up, would she be there too? Would she just become a part of the real Naru?

Maybe she'd just stop existing all together. As if she was nothing more then...
