Darkness.
You float in cold darkness.
You've been keeping in the fetal position to maintain what little heat you have, but it's being lost rapidly due to your lack of a hat.
Really?
That's all you can think of right now?
Aren't you curious about why you're alone? You're not supposed to be, you know.
It's all you can remember, though.
There... there must be a reason for all this.
You see a twinkle of light. It's the only thing in this cold, dark nothing. You find you can move as if you were underwater.
...How do you remember what water is?
...Whatever. Just get there as fast as you can.
As you swim (?) toward the light, you can see that its source is square, and only just large enough to contain you.
There is a shrill humming noise coming from it that seems very familiar to you, and it gets louder as you approach.
You brace for some sort of impact, but your vision fades to white as you contact it, freezing you in place.
(/o_o\)
You feel as if you've woken up from a dream, but that can't be right. You're standing up, and this isn't anywhere you recognize.
The floor has the same yellow glow to it, and you can't tell what it is made from. You see a figure in the distance and run over to it, noticing the parallel to your previous experience a few moments ago.
When you get close enough, you can recognize a girl lying in the fetal position. She's about the same age as you, maybe a little shorter, with dark skin and characteristic eye shape.
OhmygodConnie.
Your arm snaps to her wrist to check for a pulse, since she appears to be passed out. Your eyes become glassy.
Beat.
Beat.
Beat.
Thank god.
You shake her awake.
"Hey. C'mon. Don't do this to me now. Not after..." Sniffling, you continue. "Not after I forgot you. Oh, Connie... Sweet, nerdy, awkward, introverted Connie. How could I ever forget you?"
She turns onto her back. A small piano plays in the background, but you don't care because it works well for the mood and you're just so damn happy she's alright.
"Ughhh..." She rubs her eyes. "What..."
She looks up at you and recognizes you. "Oh. Hi..."
You're laughing, tears of joy stream down your face, you embrace her in your arms.
"I missed you."
