PLEASE Read and Review!

Riley stared at Dakota again. She had never seen anyone look so pale, so sick, so devoid of any life. Since his fight with Xander he had lost immense amounts of weight and much of the color in his face, and yet, his mouth almost smiled. She did not know what gave her that impression but she saw it there. And stranger still, she felt like she could still talk to him, and he could give her advice, or respond to her. It made no sense. But she was here now and she had something very important to tell him.
"Hey kiddo," she started. "I have something to tell you. Thought this might be more exciting than all the doctor psycho babble you must be hearing. Kris and I have decided that as soon as Paul and Karma are captured we're going to get married. Can you believe it? After five years of knowing each other he finally asks me. But he had to wait ya know? The Counsel had to be reformed. So you see, you have to wake up, because you have to be there to be our best man. And you have to be there to see Paul when he's thrown in jail. And you have to be okay soon, you just have to..."
She stopped and stared at him. His face seemed to fill with an odd light.
/I know you're going to be alright/, she said telepathically. /You were made for great things. You're not done yet./
