- Okay...so...now what...
- What do you mean?
- *S.I.G.H* I don't know...
- Come on Rygel, cheer up. Why are you so down?
- I don't know...
- Ummm...Ah! Your birthday is coming up soon, also school is almost over, there's just 2 weeks left.
- Oh...school...
- ...why are you so depressed?!
- I don't know...
God...why am I like this...I feel...bothered by something...that dream I had last night, I don't think it was just a dream...
- Girls, here are your snacks~
- Cookieeees!
- Ah, thank you auntie.
- Thanks mom!
- You're welcome.
- Here Rygel, cookies will make you feel better!
- Thanks...*just holds the cookie*
- Do you not want cookies?
- Ah, no no I do. *finally starts eating the cookie*
Maya: *What's with her today...she's usually trying to find something to do...why is she suddenly like this...*
- Soooooo...what's up?
- What's up with what?
- Well, um, what's...up with you?
- What do you mean...
- Well...
- ...
- OH COME ON RYGEL! STOP ACTING LIKE A DEPPRESSED VEGETABLE FOR ONCE! TELL ME WHATS WRONG! ENOUGH OF YOU JUST SITTING THERE!
- ...
- ...
- Well...
- Yes~
- I'm a bit bothered by something...
- Bothered...could it be...YOU'RE BOTHERED BECAUSE OF ME?!
- What. No.
- WHAT MY MOM SAID WAS TRUE!
- What the- NO! It's not because of you!
- I'M SUCH A- oh, it's not...
- It's not...
- Then what is it...?
- It's because of...that dream I had last night...it's bothering me. Those people that were calling for help, they...they looked so miserable.
- Ooooh...so that's why you're so sad.
- Yeah...
- Well if you ask me I think it was just a dream. *enjoying her cookie*
- I thought so too...but...I feel like it's more than just that.
- You're not the one to think so superstitiously.
- What do you mean superstitiously?
- Like thinking there are hidden meanings behind dreams, or thinking about something beyond its logic. You know, just 'you' stuff. *still enjoying her cookie*
- ...
- Well anyway...who do you think the people in your dream were?
- I don't know...but they weren't venusainian, that's something I'm sure of.
- Well, how do you know that they're not venusainian...?
- I-I don't know...it just didn't feel like any of them was one of us...
- Hmmmm...well...maybe...you should ask Auntie Cel-
- No.
- What?
- I will not ask Aunt Celia.
- But. Why not?!
- ...Just because...
- What do you mean just because!!?
- I just...I can't ask her...she'll get mad again...
- Get-Get mad again? When has she ever gotten mad at you?!
- Well, the other day...I wanted to ask her something about the lost princess...and...she got mad at me.
- WHAT? H-How could it be!!?? She never gets mad at you!
- Well, she did that day.
- I think I need to talk to her!
- What...have you gone mad?
- ...
- Whatever...I'll just have to figure it out on my own.
- Figure what out? *angrily eating her cookie*
- The dream...I have to figure out what it means.
- Well either way...tell me if you need anything.
- Okay...
- *Opens her arms out for a hug*
- *Hugs her...*
Maya is just the best...I have always known that she'd be here to listen to all my dumb stuff. When has she not? Though she's the one who's always talking, whenever I talk about something that's bothering me or making me feel bad, she's all ears.
She might interrupt every now and then, but in the end, I get the feeling that I have just confided in someone reliable, someone trustworthy...someone who is willing to hear whatever I have to say until their ears bleed.
And if that feeling alone isn't one of the biggest blessings in my life...I don't know what is...
