A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed so far. I didn't know that this story would get any feedback. Also, I noticed a mistake in chapter one. In the flashback when Lucy picked up the phone, I accidentally put 'hell'…I meant to put 'hello'. So I'm really sorry about that.

Disclaimer: I don't own the songs "This Used To Be My Playground", "Memory", 'and "Be With You". "This Used To Be My Playground" is a song by Madonna, "Memory" is a song by Sugarcult, and "Be With You" is a song by The Bangles. And they will appear in that order in this chapter.

Chapter Two: It's No Dream

"This used to be our playground

This used to be our childhood dream

This used to be the place we ran to

I wish you were standing here with me"

Lucy slowly prepared herself to read the words written in the article. Those awful words that declared Chandler and Roxanne dead.

It was funny, really. It had been sixteen years since they died, yet Lucy saw them in her dreams.

Lucy would have Chandler and Roxanne visit her in her head and talk to her in her dreams. They'd often ask about Rain, or just catch up with Lucy and her life.

It kind of scared Lucy. What her mind was capable of. What she could dream up. Well, all that she knew is that if the ghosts of either Chandler or Roxanne appeared right in front of Lucy's face, she'd scream.

Lucy took another deep breath and glanced down at the article.

It read these words…

"Associate Pastor at the Glen Oak Community Church and Wife Die in a Car Accident"

By Diane Ross

December 16th, 2004---Last night, on the evening of December 15th, at 9:00 PM, local minister Dr. Chandler Hampton and his wife of 14 months, Roxanne, were involved in a drunk driving accident. This accident caused the young couple their lives.

Local truck driver Dylan Fetch was the one that hit Chandler and Roxanne. He was completely drunk and driving recklessly down the road. Dr. Hampton and his wife were heading over to a friend's house to pick up their infant daughter at the time, having previously left a dinner date at the local French restaurant Pierre's. Dylan came out of nowhere speeding right into Chandler and Roxanne's car, killing Chandler instantly and sparing Roxanne only a few more moments of life.

In her time left, Roxanne called the friend, Lucy Kinkirk, who was babysitting their daughter. Roxanne told Lucy to adopt her and Chandler's daughter, Rain, and raise her. Lucy and her husband Kevin will be appearing in court to claim custody of Rain next week.

I talked to some members of Chandler and Roxanne's families about their deaths. All of them were too shocked or upset to reply.

"I can't believe this happened," commented Lucy Kinkirk. "Chandler and Roxanne were like family to me. I can't believe that they're...dead." She was too upset to comment any further.

Dylan Fetch has been charged with reckless and drunk driving and rumors say murder also. He will remain under close watch until the court date, which is set for March of 2005.

A funeral service for Chandler and Roxanne will be held this Saturday with the main speaker as Chandler's boss, Eric Camden, who commented, "They were like family to me. It's going to be hard to say goodbye." Anyone is welcomed to attend this funeral.

Lucy had attended that funeral. It was sad. Everyone who knew Chandler or Roxanne was pretty much there. Everybody had either been weeping, holding each other, or pretending it was all a big dream, saying, "Oh, they're not dead…we're all asleep, this is a dream and in real life they're fine."

Yeah, right. Dream on. Chandler and Roxanne were dead…it was no dream. Lucy's two best friends were no longer the happy, lively, young couple they'd been so many years ago. They were now just memories…pictures, items, stories, dusty old memories.

"This may never start

We could fall apart

And I'd be your memory

Lost your sense of fear

Feelings insincere

Can I be your memory"

How Lucy longed to hug them tightly just to feel their presence. But she couldn't, they were…gone.

Lucy felt weak in the knees. She slumped onto the ground and cried. She couldn't help it. She just missed them so much it drove her crazy.

As she wept, Lucy heard a soft whisper. Someone was calling her name.

"Lucy…Lucy."

Lucy looked around to see who was calling. She got up on her legs and looked around. No Kevin, none of her kids. Then…who was it?

Another voice soon joined in. This one sounded deeper, more male, while the first one sounded female.

"Lucy…Luce."

"Who-who's there?" Lucy asked the air around her, scared out of her mind.

"Lucy Kinkirk…Lucy."

"Who is this! Is this a joke!" Lucy felt herself shaking violently.

Who was there…who? And why were they there? What did they want?

"Luce, Luce…Lucy, behind you."

Lucy turned around and screamed. For what she was now facing shocked her.

It couldn't be…

"Out my window

The rain starts to fall

And the wind blows

Through an empty hall

In the mirror

Reflections of you

In the distance I hear a sound

Is that you coming around"
