:::Prologue:::

Strange...I'm here again. Taking a quick look around, I find the landscape is sparse with the blacken sky and endless water reaching up to my ankles. Sooo dark right now that I might as well be blind. Usually there are crystal streams of water and lush grass that randomly changes color depending on her mood but I guess it's just me right now. I decide to sit down lie back into the water looking up at nothing. My clothes quickly become saturated and wet clinging to my body not really bothering me. I've always liked it here it makes me feel warmed and comforted. I'm glad I'm back.

I feel a familiar touch in the back of my mind. The new presence brings me out of my stupor long enough to notice that I was no longer in water but gently resting on lush grass kissed with the color of early spring. I chuckle closing my eyes again waiting for her voice. She was always better at manipulating this place then I.

"Hello, lazy one."

"I prefer relaxed with pensive tendencies."

"Heh, I'm sure you do." The voice is closer in my mind. "Are you going to open your eyes, Riku?"

"Nope. Why should I? I already know who it is." We always play this game. I love to hear her voice. Any chance I get I take. If that means to antagonize her...heh... so be it. Cracking open an eye, I hope to see one of her famous pouts. Shouldn't take long until I am rewarded.

"Riiikuuuu." Sora whines bringing arms across her body followed by the tilt of her head with a pout settling across her face. AH..there it is. She always does the cutest things and every time they make my heart skip a beat or two.

Yes, I ,Riku, am in love with my imaginary, best friend. I say imaginary because some part of me feels that none of this is real. How could I not. Who's ever heard of a best friend they only see in dreams. No one, that's who. Yet we've shared so much time together here since childhood and if in fact it is a lie and an illusion, then I never want to question and stay here forever.

Lost in my thoughts, she realizes her antics didn't get the desired response. Her eyes begin to twinkle mischievously. "Heh, I could be an imposter...maybe sent here to trick you and..and..and do bad things."

Finally I focus all of my attention on her eyes. The eyes of an impossible blue, they are the only feature in clear detail. I could happily lose myself in them. A smile escapes my lips responding to his lifelong friend's innocence. Bad things, like she knew what was bad. I sit up on arms now, "I'd know the difference, Sky." Sky is the nickname I gave her when I was 10 years old. It was the day that I discovered that Sora meant Sky. Since then I've called her Sky like the color of her eyes. I have a nickname too but she doesn't use it as much.

Smirking, Sora proceeds to sit next to me. "Missed you the last few days, Sei."

She was also fascinated with the color of my eyes. She said they were the color of the sea and called me as such. However she was still so young that she couldn't pronounce Sea very well. It was more like Sei.

We've met each other here almost every night since kindergarten. Though, I can't say where here is exactly. Maybe it could be defined as a dream? Sure but it's not like the way other people dream. It's too real and plus dreams are defined as a solitary event where for me that's never been the case. I thought about asking someone about my dreams but to be perfectly honest I don't want to share Sora.

Confused? I would be too if I had to explain this to myself. See I have dreams with one other person besides myself. Her name is Sora, well at least I think she's a she. I can't really tell. Here, Sora and I appear fuzzy. The only feature that stands out is our eyes. She says that I have the prettiest eyes that she had ever seen, like two perfect emeralds with an eternal light shining through. I laugh every time I hear this since it is how I see hers, two brilliant sapphires that only fairy tales would be able to create. You would think I'd mind not being able to see the rest of Sora but I don't think it really. She has been here since the beginning. We both grew up knowing each other in this place. No one knows about us. No knows that I have a childhood friend, a best friend closer then my family or any friends I have in the outside world. She is special to me. We know the parts of ourselves that we never show to others. We never talk about our families or surface stuff that happens to us in the outside world. Really doesn't mean anything to us. One of these days I would love to meet her but there again I might burst the illusion. If I ask, Sky might disappear forever. So I'm content here with her as things are, I follow the rules and she stays with me forever.

"Riku? Are you okay?"

Riku sighs blowing absently at the few silver bangs that have fallen in his face. "Been having a few hard days recently. Not sleeping too well. So, I guess I haven't been dreaming either."

"I hear that," Sora says letting the rest of her body fall back onto the grass with a breeze picking up blowing petals here and there.

I sigh contently smelling the new flowers popping up around us. "Nice touch. I like it when you're here."

I don't even look at her when I reach for her hand and intertwine my fingers though hers. She squeezes gently in response. She turns her head and Sapphire meets Emerald, "Sweet dreams, Sei." When her words leave her lips I am immediately swept up into complete darkness and I sleep deeply feeling protected and cared for.
