Hello PeopleS!

I say thanks to everyone who reviewed, favourited, story-alerted my fic and also RGNN for constant encouragement. And my sister for beta-ing.

And now,

Enjoy!

I knew I was dreaming the moment I looked around and saw a fair. There were stalls all over the place, with loud advertisers on megaphones and people gossiping on street corners.

On Earth.

How did I know that? I didn't actually understand. I walked around, seeing things that were achingly familiar. Everything seemed so big. Was it because this was a dream?

I looked at my reflection and raised an eyebrow. I looked like I was six again. Just before I found out that I had cancer. I was staring really hard at my reflection, earning weird glances at the people around me, when somebody suddenly called my name.

'Wind nee-chan! Why are you over there for? You promised me you'd go on the teacups with me!'

The voice seemed faint, but I understood what he said mostly. But why did he call me onee-chan? I turned around and saw a cute little boy with black hair staring at me with puppy eyes. I melted.

I hate puppy eyes.

I talked to him. To my surprise, it was faint as well.

'Of course we can go to the tea cups! But why are you calling me onee-chan?'

He looked at me puzzled.

'Of course I would call you nee-chan, nee-chan, you're my big sister!'

Then he proceeded to drag me towards the teacups. We sat in a bright pink teacup with green squiggles and waited patiently as the teacup started to spin. The lady pushed the button and the teacup started to spin and spin and spin. I heard my parents calling over the barrier in the same weak voices as the little boy and I.

'Are you having fun, Tama? Wind?'

They knew the little boy? Maybe this was a parallel universe where I had a little brother. But for some reason, that didn't feel right…

Something brushed my cheek. I jumped and looked up. But there was nothing there.

I looked at the boy. He didn't look anything like me. I had grey hair, like old people, because the antibiotics for my cough had bleached it so badly no one could tell I used to have black hair. I was pasty white back then as well, but the little boy was bursting with life. He had black hair, glowing healthy skin, and the most importantly, he had the same green eyes as me.

I took after my father. Dad was thin and angular, sharp as a stick with glasses covering his green eyes. Mom was chubbier, and it was obvious that Tama had got that from her by his baby fat. But he had the same green eyes as me. Was it because he was really my little brother?

The teacups began to whirl faster; the scene where the little boy was laughing started to fade away. For some reason, I felt panicked. I felt like I had to do something.

So I reached out towards the fast fading Tama and hugged him.

I faded away completely after that.

I was floating over a body in the hospital. I wrinkled my nose. Why would I be floating in a hospital in my dream, for heaven's sake? I spent enough time in hospital as it is in real life, let alone spending more time in them in my dream! I hated them!

I looked at the sign on the door. It said some complex word, but above it was a small sign saying 'Comatose patients'. I floated through the door and ended up in a hallway. I looked at all the names there. Then, on the third door, was my name.

What was happening here? Didn't Jeb already replace me with a boy?

A boy…

Maybe Tama was the boy that Jeb replaced me with? But why was I still here on Earth? I stared at myself and the dripping IV in my wrist. I floated over to the roster above my head and read it.

Name: Windfarest Sani

Sex: Female

Sponsor: Doctor Bej

I stopped reading after that. So Jeb was sponsoring me here? I felt a little bit more relieved. I started to go back through the door when the room started to spin again. I felt like I was going to fade away when a breeze suddenly blew me through the hospital walls and outside.

But it didn't stop there. It blew me through trees and random houses until it suddenly stopped. I was disorientated. And confused. The dream was getting more and more bizarre. I looked up at the house that the breeze had blown me to.

I stared.

It was the house that I had lived in for practically my whole life.

I floated inside and went to my room. Sure enough, there was a boy. But to my utter surprise, when I floated above his face, he was an older version of Tama.

I tried to touch his face, but I failed. My fingers just went through him, although I think he felt it, as he shivered. But smiled.

I frowned at him. Was he ok?

I watched him for awhile and floated to my parent's room. Then I sat and stared at them. It seemed like such a long time since I saw them. How were they? Did they like Tama?

Did they remember me?

After a while, the room started spinning again. But I didn't want to leave them. A huge bout of homesickness was growing.

But the room continued to spin. And I continued to fade away.

I was in Jeb's dimension again. The first thing I saw was Jeb playing chess by himself. I snickered. He looked so lonely doing that.

'Hey, Jeb. Can I ask you something?'

'Shoot.'

'If I dream in here, is it real?'

'Yup.'

'Why do I still have a body on Earth?' Jeb looked startled.

'How do you know that?'

'I dreamt.' I glared at him, waiting for an answer. He sighed and turned around to face me. Then his voice took on the tone of an adult about to deliver a very long lecture.

'I can't actually delete your body from Earth, Wind. Because if I did, all the universes would collapse. I can make something, sure, but I can never delete something because everything is connected, and if I deleted your body, that space can't be filled and everything would collapse.

'However, I can make stuff because it's just adding a link to a really huge net. However, your brother was not exactly made.'

Jeb started twiddling his thumbs.

'I doubt you can remember, but when you were two, (one and a half specifically) you mother was pregnant. But she had a miscarriage and the baby died. That is your brother. I just tweaked it a bit so you brother didn't die and I wiped away all of the memories of you.

'I even changed the photos! I stole the photos that had you in it and replaced them with photos of your brother. I think I got them all… I didn't check the attic though. Your past would likely have changed, since you have a little brother. I just took away all the photos that had you in it, and added some random photos of other stuff.'

I stared at him.

'So everything I dreamed about was true? If I go back there, would their memories come back?' Jeb nodded.

'Yup. I specifically made it that way. But your brother won't disappear. Just get used to being a big sister.'

I sighed. This was too much for me.

'Anyway Wind, aren't you supposed to be studying something?' He pointed at the two mountain books.

My eyes widened as I remembered them.

'Err… Jeb? Can I not study them and you give me some weird gadget that tells me whoever the people are?'

Jeb looked sternly at me.

'No. Now study.' He pointed sternly at the books. I sighed as I slumped over back to them.

Life was going to be hell…

Tama's view…

I had always been the baby of the family. No one believed me when I talked because they thought I was too young to understand anything.

But when I reached my ninth birthday, something changed. I felt like something important in my life wasn't there anymore.

I tried to tell mom and dad, but they didn't feel anything. More like they didn't understand what I was talking about. So I just ignored it and kept on going to school and playing soccer.

But then, a few weeks later, I had this really weird dream…

I was floating above a fair. I saw my parents chattering at the teacups and a four year old me looking for something. I smiled. I remember this…

The four year old me's eyes lighted up as he found what he was searching for.

''Wind nee-chan! Why are you there for? You promised me that you would go on the teacups with me!'

I stared. This wasn't what I remembered! I thought I was looking for…

What was I looking for? Now that I think about it, some parts of my memory are fuzzy…

I watched as the four year old me ran up to a girl about six. She was very pale, and had granny hair. I wondered why she had grey hair.

I laughed as I saw myself use the infamous puppy eyes on the mysterious girl. She visibly melted. Then she said something strange.

'Of course we can go to the tea cups! But why are you calling me onee-chan?'

Huh? Why was I calling her onee-chan? The four year old me looked at her puzzled.

'Of course I would call you nee-chan, nee-chan, you're my big sister!'

I gaped.

She was my sister??

I watched dumbly as the little me dragged my supposed sister to the teacups. We sat and the teacups started to move. My parents waved and laughed yelling questions to both of us.

When did I ever have a sister? Did mom and dad know her?

I floated towards the teacup and touched her cheek. She jumped and stared straight at me.

What? Isn't this a dream?

I was getting more and more confused. I pulled at my hair. I was only nine years old! How was I supposed to understand all this?

My sister suddenly pulled my little self into a hug. He laughed and hugged her back.

I frowned. I think I remember this part. I hugged somebody on the teacups. I had only remembered grey hair and I had thought it was my grandma.

I gaped at the scene before me.

Did that mean it was all true?

I sat back, shocked as I started to wake up.

I was back in bed. That girl was next to me. I looked at my mirror.

I was six. Did that mean I was still dreaming? Maybe I was having a dream within a dream. That's cool. I had never had one of those before.

Anyway, the girl, I mean, Wind hushed me with a little giggle. To my surprise, she was bald.

'What are you doing?' I whispered to her.

'Come here! I'll show you something!'

I followed her as she went up the stairs to the attic. There, she opened a huge cupboard hidden in some dark corner.

'Wow! I thought it was locked!'

She winked at me. 'Silly Tama-chan! I already told you that the key was taped under the table over there!'

I frowned. She just laughed and dug inside the cupboard.

'Happy birthday, Tama! I couldn't give this to you without mom and dad noticing, so here it is!'

I looked at the present. It was wrapped sloppily but I felt the care she took wrapping it under all of it.

'I have to go back to the hospital tomorrow morning so open it!'

'Hospital?'

She sighed.

'Hasn't mom and dad told you yet? Anyway, just open it!'

I opened the package and found a very pretty box. I gasped. This was the box that I kept in my room all the time! I had forgotten where it came from though. Did she give this to me?

The girl took my gasp as one of delight.

'Open it! Open it!' She said excitedly.

I opened the box to find my favourite chocolates. I stared at them.

'Thank you…'

She smiled at me.

'Didn't you ask why I had to go to hospital? Well, I'll explain it. But it's getting late, so shoo! Go back to bed. I'll write a note and stick it under the table as well. I might get Dusky to play with you tomorrow, who knows?'

I floated out of my little self. The room had started to blur. I watched as the six-year old me rubbed his eyes and go down the stairs back to his room. Then I watched as she carefully wrote a note and taped it under the table. Then she left down the stairs as well, after locking the cupboard door.

The room whirled.

And I landed back into bed and opened my eyes.

Was all of that true?

I quickly leapt out of bed and up the attic stairs. To my amazement, under the table were a rusting key and a yellowed note.

Did I forget to read the note?

I thanked (for once) my forgetfulness and started to read the note.

Tama, I have cancer. You probably don't know what it means; just ask mom and dad ok? It's not that serious yet, they're giving me treatment. It made all my hair fall out! :D (SMILEYS!!!! Can you keep it? *gives puppy eyes*) And if you want to repay me for that birthday present, just give me some pineapple ok?

Nothing else to say, so bye Tama! See you soon!

I glared at the note. Cancer? I took the key and opened the cupboard. I widened my eyes. It was obvious that Wind had used this place to keep all her special stuff.

There were random bits of puzzles, some keys, an antique looking watch, and some other random pieces of stuff. I pulled out the only thing (I thought anyway) that was worth looking at. I blew the dust off.

My Photo Album

I caught my breath and opened it.

Inside, were photos of mom, dad, me and her.

It filled a lot of gaps in my memory. Like how I caught my first fish. I didn't know that it was her that helped me. I couldn't remember. As I looked more into the album, memories started rushing back to me. I had no doubt she was my sister now.

That created a huge question. Going back to my room, I hugged the photo album to my chest and put it next to the worn old box that I had seen in my dream as new.

How did we forget all about her?

I frowned. This was all so confusing. I lay down on my bed.

I decided to go to the hospital the next day.

OH NO! Her brother is going to find out!! What would happen then???? (... Even I haven't thought that far into yet... ==")

Anyways, thanks for reading my story! Review!

And see you all next week (I didn't say hopefully this time!) *bows*
