The Lord of Nightmares smirked to herself as she glided through her endless creations, finally coming toward the two universes that twirled around with each other, locked in a slow waltz across the vastness of the Sea of Chaos. She lifted her hands, capturing the worlds and pondered pulling them apart for a brief moment. But instead, she looked down upon them, watching as bits of weather of one world slid over the broken barriers and into the other world.

This could be interesting... she murmured to herself and glided back to her seat in the stars, holding the two worlds stuck to each other like bubbles.

Cocking her head to the side, L-sama smirked and lifted her hand. What would happen if... she whispered to herself, crimson lips forming the words that had no sound in the material world. Mischievously, she picked random pairs of people, tying their souls together.


Sephiroth stood in silence as he watched the clouds of rolling black studded with lightning, like some sort of black leather wearing biker in the sky, come charging over the island of Wutai to dump its load of flooding amounts of water on the land below it. This land also included the capital of Wutai and the Shinra SOLDIERs that were encamped not all that far from the city poised to strike and take the entire island and finally end the war. It had taken a month, but finally, they'd come within range.

The General of the Shinra troops stood just outside the command tent, just looking around for a moment and mostly letting his brain idle. Most wouldn't have thought that Sephiroth would actually think of nothing. They just assumed he was pondering new ways to attack or something important. However, that wasn't the case. Sephiroth's thoughts included a brief moment of worry for the fluffy bunnies, wondered if they'd drown in the coming monsoon rains.

The clouds were moving fast, blown briskly by a hard wind from the east and Sephiroth lifted a hand to capture his snaking hair and pin it down. Strands still got loose though, but that couldn't be helped. He headed toward the edge of camp then, not really caring if he got caught out in the rain. It wasn't like he ever got sick or anything.

People immediately got out of his way as he walked along, and his mind returned again to his wish, his single deepest desire. And his dreams- they'd gotten rather... erotic, to say the least. Something to do with "Turkey Stuffing"- and it didn't include food. Rather embarrassing when he woke up, but enjoyable while he was still dreaming. He looked up at the clouds again as a rumble of thunder, like the fart of God, blasted across the sky in preparation for the downpour.

And pour it did. Forget the cats and dogs. It was raining elephants- well, actually, mostly it was water and some small fish. The sky above and as far as he could see beyond was pitch black, ominous in a way. Immediately, Sephiroth was soaking and no longer had to worry about his hair flipping into his face, it was stuck to his body. "One way to get a bath," he muttered to himself and looked down at the ground as he dropped his hand from his hair. His eyes trailed to the ground just to his left...

A puddle was forming under him and seeping into the earth, but to his left by three inches it was completely dry. He lifted his eyes to find some of his troops standing and gawking at this phenomenon. They were all completely dry while Sephiroth was starting to feel his underwear chafe.

Slowly, the General took a step to the right, out of the rain, his bangs having fallen from their usual style and sticking to his face and down his chest. He blinked at the almost solid wall of water that was before him, yet, nothing but puddles were coming across the line- except for Sephiroth. He was still soaking wet.

"Ah -um sir..." someone said behind him and Sephiroth ignored the young SOLDIER for the moment in favor of looking up at the cloudless sky directly above him. It seemed as if the clouds had been cut vertically, or they were flowing over a horizontal sheet that kept them from view from the ground- and also kept them from dropping their rain onto the ground.

Finally, Sephiroth turned to look at the man who was holding a dry towel out to his General (and biggest role model). Sephiroth ignored the towel and headed back toward his tent, trying not to hear the soft murmuring behind him. His back muscles twitched though, he knew they weren't talking about him, it just seemed like they were.


Katy and Michelle were in the former girl's bedroom, drawing random pictures on either the notebook between them or each other. Their works included a new set of super hero mice and several pictures of Sephiroth, Zelgadis, and DEMONIC FANGIRL. Their talk included much silliness, and their giggles echoed throughout the house that seemed like an island due to the heavy rain that had been pouring for hours.

Picking up another gel-pen, Katy started coloring her newest DEMONIC FANGIRL picture. "I'm glad today's Friday, even if we didn't get the day off because of weather," she said randomly. School had started at least a month ago and all the torments that had caused Katy's depression had returned as well.

Michelle nodded, "I agree." She suddenly got up and started stretching, somewhat to Katy's annoyance, but the redhead never said anything about it. The slightly younger girl went to the window and looked out for a moment before she turned to say to her friend, "You know. I think I should go home..."

Katy nodded, "Yeah. They said it wasn't going to let up anytime soon as far as they could tell. If the roads flood..." She shook her head, stuffing down her fear of what could happen if she got pushed off the road by water.

Gathering their stuff, the two girls headed downstairs from Katy's bedroom. The phone rang. Katy heaved a sigh and went to get it, hearing Michelle's mom. "Michow, it's for you," she said and handed the phone over.

"Hello?" Michelle asked and then was silent a moment. "I'm okay. I was coming home... yeah... I know... yeah... bye." Katy raised her eyebrows and her friend returned the silent inquiry with widened eyes.

"Wants you to come home?"

Michelle nodded and they ran through the rain to Katy's old red tank of a car. Once inside, they dripped on the soft cloth seats of the car but Katy wasn't all that upset about that. It wasn't like she was going to have that car forever. Nothing lasted forever except for things that bugged her.

The drive to Michow's house was somewhat frightening as there was water all over the roads and more pouring from the sky. Lightning flashed between the clouds and ground, occasionally hitting a tree or something tall and causing a loud crash of thunder to rattle the car.

Once they arrived at their destination Katy caught Michelle in a hug before she let her best friend out of the car. Michelle's house wasn't more than five minutes away from Katy's, but it seemed like hours in the mornings when Katy had to drive through traffic, and even now it seemed like such a long way back to her own house. The rain had let up some, but it was still pitch black and not many people were out driving, even if it was about six in the evening.

Katy watched as Michelle ran down the sidewalk to her front door before she began to pull out of the driveway and head back home. For lack of any other noise in her car except for the pounding of the rain on the roof and windshield wipers, Katy spoke softly to herself, "I wish that something interesting would happen in my life... Something that'll be scary when it happens and I wouldn't know if I'd live through it but somehow I do and I wanna be able to look back on it and laugh and wish something like that could happen again because it was fun. I want something good to happen to me."
