Chapter 5
Amy's House: Gallifrey
3:15 P.M.
Amy unlocked the front door, letting herself and Aria into her house. After they were inside, the two went upstairs and into Amy's room. They dropped their shoulder bags onto the floor along with their coats. Aria plopped herself onto the blue beanbag chair, as did Amy on the green one.
Aria kept a heavy stare on a dazed Amy. "Okay, spill it, Ameliana. You've been out of it all day. What's going on?" She questioned, shocking her back to reality with her words.
"Huh?" Amy replied as she let her mind come back into line. "Right. Well... I dunno. I had this weird dream, but it felt really real. Almost as if I could touch everything around me. It definitely wasn't a dream. It was more of a nightmare," she said in a low voice as she turned to the other. "There was this lady... I don't know her name. Her voice was very... scary, almost threatening. She kept repeating this rhyme. It went... it went... I can't remember. It's almost as if she completely erased it from my mind." Her voice was shaky as if she was scared. She believed it was real. She knew it was real.
The thundering and lightning outside of her window made her flinch before Aria could even respond.
"Amy, you're going bonkers. Completely mad. I doubt there's a way to erase things from the minds of people. I think it was just a bad dream. That's all it was. Calm down." She replied, trying to make her friend feel a little less anxious.
"Oh! I remember now!" She said with a giddy smile as she got up and looked in her closet and walked around her room.
When she heard the other start singing, that's when she was getting more and more scared.
"Tick tock, goes the clock. Now what shall we play?" Amy sang nonchalantly as she began to play with her hair as she looked in the mirror. "Tick Tock, goes the clock. Now summer's gone tock goes the clock. And what then shall we see? Tick tock until the thou shalt marry me. Tick tock goes the clock. And all the years they fly. Tick tock and all too soon. You and I must die. Tick tock goes the clock. We laughed at fate and mourned her. Tick tock goes the clock..." Her voice trailed off as she went to think about the next line. "I... I can't remember the rest of it. But that's the majority of it. It's as if someone erased it from my mind."
Aria raised an eyebrow at her, "That's weird... I feel like I've heard that before! The melody sounds familiar."
"See! I thought I heard it too. It's probably an imaginary idea, though. Don't worry about it. C'mon. Mom's cooking and I'm pretty sure it's done.
*pan to Danny and Theta walking back home*
3:30 P.M.
When the girls left, Danny and Theta walked to their own homes. They didn't talk much. The two of them usually just joked around. But, this time, Danny was sort of serious, still acting like a fool, but still very trusting of his friend.
"Theta," Danny started as he stopped walking and turned to him, "I can trust you. I know I can. There's something I've been meaning to tell you." His voice fell into a more serious tone.
"Dude. I'm sorry. I accept you, but I... I don't feel that way about you," Theta replied as he raised an eyebrow holding his hands out in a defensive manner.
"What? No! No! That's not what I mean. I mean... there's this girl. She's really pretty and sweet and smart..." Danny replied with a trailed and lingering voice. He seemed to be dazing off into his own little world.
"Danny? Danny? Danny!" Theta snapped as he waved his hand in front of the other's face. "Who is she? C'mon! You've got'a tell me now! You're daydreaming about her. Who is it?"
"It's Aria."
"Ari-vfjbgwjebjr?!"
Danny placed his hands swiftly over Theta's mouth. "You idiot! Don't shout it! I don't need people thinking I've gone soft! So hush, you!"
"My lips are sealed. But, if we're talking about this, then I think it's best I tell you who I've been thinking about. For a long time, actually. Since we were little. It's disappointing that our families don't get along. Her father's a highly titled general in the empire and he works with my parents. But, adults can be a bit childish, can't they?" He began to ramble as he snapped back into the conversation they were having. "Right. Yes. Her name is..." Theta leaned forward to Danny's ear and whispered the girl's name.
"No way!"
"Yes way!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Danny!"
"Theta!"
"Shut up!"
"Okay!"
"Just keep this conversation between the two of us. Please?"
"Got it."
The two made there way down the block with their bags slung over one shoulder. As the boys came closer to their homes, they waved each other goodbye as one went to the left sidewalk, the other to the right.
