Wake Me Up

[Artist: Avicii]

Space was a dark emptiness, a void where nothing survived. It had been so long since their ship had passed a source of natural light, but one thing that kept her going was the idea of finding her friends at the end of the journey.

She wasn't sure where exactly it would end, but she'd known where to start so Paradox Space would get them there eventually.

Jade's grandpa used to tell her she was too young to understand things. Looking back, she may very well have been, but now...

He'd tell her it was okay to be caught up in a dream. She was always talking to him about what happened once she fell asleep, about the adventures she'd go on. He was convinced she was nothing more than a child with a reoccurring dream.

She had slept for so much of her life. John, Dave and Rose always said her life would pass her by if she didn't open up her eyes. Her reply?

"That's fine by me."

She whispered the phrase to herself as she stared out into the depths of the void, her ears looking for some kind of response.

It was easy to carry the weight of the world when you were the Witch of Space, quite literally. Multiple planets, even. She hardly needed to utilize her hands.

She went god tier so long ago, it seemed. She wasn't so young anymore, though nostalgia had its upsides. She missed Prospit and being able to sleep soundly.

She guessed Sburb was just a play on how life was a game. Personally, she'd always thought love was the prize, but ultimately it just came down to survival.

When this was all over, Jade was going to sleep. She would be wiser and older then, and maybe this awful game of life would be easier. As long as her friends would be there in the end.

She'd need someone... Someone to...

"Wake me up."
