YAY, I finally figured out to get italics, I save as HTML!!. WOW it only took the idiot how long to get this sorted out? Now, no more ' things for thoughts. Oh, Bold bold, look!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can talk in freaking BOLD letters. WOOT this is sooooooooooooooooooooo cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, sorry for the lack of updates, I was stuck in a 27-foot trailer for the past 3 weeks. Ugh, it was somewhat torture, but I did get to see cool things on vacation… a rattlesnake, two actually, prairie dogs whom of which resemble giant hamsters. Hmmmm, many many buffalo, pronghorn, deer, fed wild burros… and so on.

The Dream

'Lynx grinned as she looked upon the great wolf sitting at her side, letting her run her hand through it's soft, yet coarse fur. She felt very prideful that it let her pet it, and respected, the silver cloud in the air around them seemed comforting. Then all of the sudden, it let out a bone chilling howl and took off into the mist, the cloud leaving. A haunting "CAW" broke through the stillness of the air. A massive crow descended upon her, bring eternal darkness with it.'

Lynx bolted upright, a cold sweat on her forehead. She glanced at a clock in the room her and Bra now shared, it was only 2:00am. She laid her head back on the pillow, waiting for sleep again, but it did not come. Sitting up, rather aggravated, she decided to go explore.

Halfway down the first hallway, she encountered one of the robots that guard CC. Intrigued; she followed it until she got bored. In the living room a little later, she found Raven crashed on the couch, mouth wide open. Laughing silently, Lynx restrained herself from bugging the sleeping Saiyan, since she was smiling in her sleep, it was all the funnier.

Within the catacombs of hallways, Lynx led herself down until a steel door the said "Laboratory" stopped. A little camera moved its lens upon her face and a small microphone said, "hello Lynx, c'mon in!"

The door slowly opened and she saw Bulma sitting at a table, fiddling with a little machine, "um, hi, watcha workin' on?"

Bulma put a few last touches on her invention, "a Saiyan scouter, I practically copied Raven's but that's ok!" She held it up with pride, "a scouter is an invention that Saiyans use to detect energy signals if they can't do it naturally."

Lynx took the little machine with the blue lens when Bulma handed it to her and put it on over her ear. Bulma smiled and held up a small mirror, "you look like a right warrior with that on!"

Lynx looked at herself wearing the spiffy eyepiece, "how does it work?"

She soon wished she hadn't said that. Bulma went through everything in very scientific words as if she was talking to an well-educated adult. After what seemed like forever, she stopped, yawned, and grinned, "well Lynx, I'm off to bed, it's been a long day. Since I'm leaving, you can't stay in the lab, c'mon, chop chop." She blue haired genius pushed Lynx out of the door and relocked the place, "you can keep that scouter, blue looks good on you," and she disappeared down a dark hall.

Lynx walked past sleeping Raven again then halted as some crackling sounds reached her ears. Turning quietly, she pointed in the direction of its source. It was Raven, her hands were clenched in her sleep. Small sparks jumped over her as she growled at an enemy known only to her.

Lynx shuddered as a larger spark of electricity jumped all the way to her and touched her tail. The small spark did not disappear thought. It ran up her body and rested in her palm, harmless and beautiful. She prodded it with her finger and it stuck, like a small light on her finger. It grew slightly, and a sudden chill ran down her spine.

Ignoring another shiver, Lynx was now focused on her scouter as a small number jumped on the screen. It led her past unknown rooms and outside, into a garden bathed in the moonlight of a waning moon. Standing in a patch of shadowy light, Bra just gazed absentmindedly into the starry heavens above.

Lynx padded noiselessly to her new friend, "Bra, what are you doing out here?"

Silence, the small blue haired girl did not even blink in response, or move a muscle, tail motionless when it usually would have twitched constantly like a cat's.

"Are you ok?"

"She's not," a voice said behind her, making her jump, almost into Bra.

"Raven?!" Lynx said in a hushed whisper, "what do you mean?"

Raven looked at the sky and took a breath of the cool night air, a little fog shining in the like from the moon as she exhaled. "Bra has been sleepwalking lately. Always to some place where she can see the sky. She's also been getting sleep terrors, screaming bloody murder, and she's still fast asleep. In the morning, she cannot remember anything that happened."

Lynx tilted her head at Raven. Puzzled, she asked, "what does the sky have to do with it?"

Raven glanced at the little girl, "only time will tell, but it is a sign."

During all this, Bra had never moved, her eyes wide and staring. Raven sighed as she shook off thoughts and very gently picked up the slumbering child. Bra's eyes closed for a second and opened, focusing on Raven's face. In a barely audible whisper, the child said quietly, "have all the stars fallen yet?"

"No, the stars have not fallen yet," Raven said softly.

Bra blinked and closed her eyes, snuggling up her the older Saiyan, "good, I don't want them to fall." She instantly fell into a deep sleep.

Lynx looked puzzled, but decided questions would be held until a better time. With a last look at the moon before she went inside the house, she thought, almost like she knew what was to come. In a semi-trance, something came to her mind when the stars fall, a great battle will be waged upon the sands of earth, three of full blood Saiyan will be taken, two not of the planet of Saiyans, yet their blood is strong, and the princess will return unwanted to her place of heritage.

Wow, that was a very mysterious chapter. I left a thought for later. See if you can guess the thing about the stars falling. Oh, and one thing, I won't have any access to a computer for the next month *gasp* I'll be so cut off from the real world it isn't funny. Ok, and also here's a link to a great fanfiction site, but there's a twist. Since I'm revising and posting my Lil' Monkey Problem there, I can post fanart too. This is a picture of Raven.

just click it or copy and paste it into the little search thing on the top of the internet screen (you all know what I'm talking about right. Right?)
