I'm not implying Jade is religious, but I like the song and it just seems really her.

Song: Dream

Artist: Priscilla Ahn

Pairing: DaveJade

The rain softly patters against the window to Jade's bedroom. A pale grey, the only source of light, shines through the window and illuminates the room in a different way. The scattered toys and clothes take on a muted pastel color, while some corners remain dark. Shadows spread like paper thin needles across the bed. Two people relax lazily there while talking about life-they're favorite past time.

"I still think that we should get a puppy," Jade giggles as Dave plays with her hair. "I know you've never had a pet, but I promise you it'll be loads of fun."

"I don't know Jade," Dave sighs, but she can see a trace of a smile gracing his pale features. He likes the idea, she can tell. All she needs to do is push just a little bit more.

"We can take it on walks, play tug-o-war with it, teach it to ride a skateboard and put it on youtube," Jade lists off all the things they could do with the dog. She feels him stiffen up as he silently laughs.

"That'll be one hell of a dog then. What would we name it?"

Bingo!

"Charlie!" They both crack up. Slowly it dies down and they calm to listen to the rain. It soothes Jade. And here next to Dave it's like laying in a field of bliss. Gently she begins to hum a tune of a song she had recently learned. It just seemed so right with today's weather.

After a while Dave asks sounding somewhat sleepy, "What's that you're humming? It sounds nice."

"It's the new song I learned on my guitar, the one I told you about the other day," Absently her fingers twitch as if they were holding her guitar and picking at the strings. Dave notices this and takes advantage of it.

"Could you play it for me?"

"I don't know Dave," She sighs, teasing him the way he teased her. He cocks his head to the side a little, sun bleached hair sliding over his forehead, dopey grin lighting up his face. Her heart did a little back flip, and it feels like there's sunshine in at least one place today. It makes it impossibly hard to refuse him when he looks at her like that.

"Well if you insist," Jade sits up and crawls over her bed to reach for her guitar. It's an old thing, chestnut in color, some spots looking like fire had grazed it. She loved it so much. Her grandpa had given it to her when she was just a kid, so she took care of it like it were her own baby. Thus it had retained a vintage look and it sounded wonderful. Jade sits crosslegged and rests the guitar in her lap and tunes it.

Dave shifts so he's on his stomach and facing her. He tucks a few pillows underneath him and rests his chin on his hands. One foot has a mind of it's own and waves around in the air as if it were preparing to conduct her. She laughs just a little and starts to strum out a quiet tune. Dave's foot catches the rhythm and starts to bob along with it.

She takes a deep breath and begins to sing.

I was a little girl alone in my little world,

Who dreamed of a little home for me.

I played pretend beneath the trees,

And fed my houseguests bark and leaves,

And laughed in my pretty bed of green.

Dave snorts just a little and mutters about how "that is so something you would do".

I had a dream.

I- could fly from the highest swing,

I had a dre-am.

Dave tilts his head a little to the left and his head starts to dip up and down. She can tell his eyes are closed, even though his big shades are hiding them. He really looks like he's enjoying himself.

Long walks in the dark through woods grown behind the park,

I asked God who I'm supposed to be.

The stars smiled down on me,

God answered in reverie.

I said a silent pray and, fell asleep.

I had a dream.

I could fly from the highest tree,

I had a dream.

She began to coo softly, the notes gliding over one another. They rose and fell as if being rocked by a wave. Dave's smile widens and he's now moving around even more to the song. She closes her eyes and continues to strum, knowing the piece by heart. With the weather like it is, her best friend/boy friend at her side, and a song in the air and her heart, Jade swears she's never felt more peaceful. It's moments like these that she yearns for.

It's all she could ever really ask for.

Now I'm old and feeling gray,

I don't know what's left to say

About this life I'm,

Willing to leave.

I've- lived it full I've lived it well,

There's many tales I've lived to tell.

I'm ready now-, I'm ready now-, I'm ready now-

To fly from the highest swing

I had a dream-.

Jade quietly strums the last notes and lowers her guitar. The patter of rain continues to hit the window, lulling them into a sense of security. Dave sighs in content and scoots over to her. She carefully sets the guitar to the side and holds his head in her laps, running her fingers through his hair. He lightly traces patterns on her thigh and sighs again.

"God I love your one man concerts. I love your voice. I love the way you make everything feel safe. It's amazing how you can do that. How do you do that?" Dave turns so he's laying on his back. She reaches and takes off his shades so she can look into his eyes- the most kindest of gems on earth to her. They flicker around, searching her face, her eyes, everything.

"The exact same way that you always seem to find the time to stop by and say me hello every single day," she whispers, leaning in close to him. "Or the way you know how to get a smile out of me; even if I'm not in the mood. Or even the way you manage to get your message across in the most obscure way possible."

The tips of their noses touch and she smiles sweetly at him. The corner's of his eyes crinkle in a smile. "So like magic?"

Jade giggles. "Like magic."
