Sorry it's short. I love concoting dreams. : ) Enjoy!

Roku's POV

When I came home, I took a direct route to my bedroom…through the window. Yeah, yeah, it was cowardly, but I didn't particularly fancy a chat with my dad at the moment. Oh well, it could be worse.

Instead of going to bed right away, I took out a sketch pad and pen, and drew. I just let my hand wander, and before I knew it, I drew Ariana. Her face was colored in just black and white, but I could imagine her aqua eyes shining out of her face. Her hair fell in graceful swirls midway down her back. I colored the picture, and then closed the pad. I turned off the light, and tried to go to sleep. What happened next was interesting. I dreamed.

I was standing on the beach. It was nearly sunset, and I could see stars around me.

"Pretty, isn't it?" Ariana asked, appearing beside me.

I was startled at her sudden appearance.

"Yeah, beautiful." I said softly gazing up at the stars.

"I wish I could go up there," She said "You know, just to see what it was like." She smiled.

"You'd have to go to the spirit world for that!" I laughed.

"I would like to meet the spirits of the moon and oceans."

"Why?"

"I'm a WaterBender they give us our powers."

"Wow."

"Yeah." She grinned up at the stars.

"There's just one thing you would have to do."

"What?"

"You'd have to take me with you."

She laughed. "I'd do that!"

"This…isn't real, is it?"

"No."

"Goodbye Arie. I'll miss this."

I woke up crying. I don't know if they were happy tears, I may never know. But it hit me like a rock. Several things, actually.

1. I loved Ariana.

2. I needed to know if she loved me back.

3. I had no clue how to break this to Dad.
