Tomorrow:
The next thing I know, It's tomorrow and I wake up next to my owner "Shinah" as my squirrel self. I'm still dizzy, wondering if it was all just a dream. But as strange & sweet as it sounds, there is a sign that tells me it may have been more than just a dream. There is a basket here, full of different kinds of my favorite nuts, decorated with some beautiful flowers. And it has a short message on it, saying: -"To Ao, from Yun, With love!". There's even a heart, drawn on it!
I climb up into the basket, thinking if I should start eating. Which one should I choose first? While I'm busy going nuts, my heart suddenly skips a beat. It's Yun who is coming this way. He is smiling. Do I look good?
"Hi there!" says Yun casually.
"Hi Yun! How are you today?" I answer.
He arrives and sits next to the basket. I also sit down on the top of the nuts, holding an almond in my hand. My heart is jumping crazily.
Yun turns to me and asks, -"Are you going to eat that?"
I look at the almond. With a wavering appetite I take a bite. He starts talking.
-"You know, this morning Yona came to me & told me that she had a dream of being Ao for a whole day!"
The almond jumps in my throat & I start to cough as I feel choking.
"You Okaaaay?" he's apparently frightened. He starts to hit me gently with his fist. The almond jumps out.
There is a long pause, during which he turns his head & stares at a faraway point. Then again I hear his voice:
-"What if I asked you to stay with me, for … a very long time, so we can get to know each other better? Would you accept it? You can … for example stick to my hair, like a very gorgeous hairpin!"
I can't hold that one tear anymore (that has been there since I was choking), & it rolls down on my face. –"Yes, I accept! I so much accept! Let's stick together, forever!"
Now he's watching me carefully, as if he can hear my voice. Then he opens his hand with an inviting gesture. I move into his hand, and he puts me on his head where those feathers usually are. He then takes out a small mirror & watches himself with a satisfied expression.
"Wow, you fit in perfectly! You're like a part of my hair now!"
"Silly Yun!"
