And so on, and so on, and so on....
"Ugh... finished...!" I said, as i
slouched, leaning against the hardwood
wall. I stared into a dark room, a
study. I had just put up the bookshelf
and books in their appropriate crappy
order. The desk in the corner i made
myself... Dad always said i had good
talent in shop class. I laughed at the
thought...
Ami was out shopping... hmm... Birthday
comin up soon... maybe she's getting me
a present? I don't know... I spoiled her
last year for Christmas with that
diamond necklace and cruise tickets...
she was so happy... Zoner saved my ass
with the tickets. Running low on
cash...
Me and Ami are around the same age. I'm
gonna turn twenty this coming week, and
she's just a few weeks older. I loved
her. Of course, it was love at first
sight, so i went a little fast for
her... I could just see her face as I
leaned my head against the wall... her
white fur, bright, beutiful blue eyes...
that star on her forehead.. Heh... I
forget everything when I think of her...
can't help it.
We got married a couple of years
back... seems i'm the only one who
remembers our anniversary, though... I
laughed. Seemed just like yesterday...
She was walkin down that aisle, in her
white, beutiful dress... carrying that
bouquet... Sometimes I wonder if I even
deserve someone like her.
Hmm? I heard the door open. It was the
front, of course. I peeked out of the
study to see who it was. Ami... heh. She
was carrying bags of various items... I
forgot everything about the birthday
presents and helped her with her bags.
"Yer probably gonna ask what i got ya
this year." She said to me, in her
soothing voice. She smiled. I shook my
head.
"Kinda forgot about that!" I said,
rubbing the back of my head, laughing.
She was laughing, too, bringing up her
hand in front of her mouth.
I wrapped my arms around her waist and
kissed her cheek. She was only a few
inches shorter than me... first time I
noticed. Been noticing alot of things
lately. So I decided to ask, "Speakin of
which, what DID you get me?" We
smiled.
"Ugh... Leo, yer gonna hafta wait." She
brushed her fingers through my
mid-length bangs.
I raised a brow, brought up a grin, and
i answered, "I gave you yer christmas
present nearly a month early!" I winked
at her. "I atleast deserve a hint. By
the way, where's your necklace?"
She pulled it out from under her shirt,
showing me the necklace... How did i get
such a beuty? It had a small
heart-shaped blue diamond on the front,
small enough to fit firmly in her palm.
The necklace itself was gold with small
clear diamonds lined along in a pattern.
"I never take it off." She kissed me on
the nose. "And another thing, Summer's
getting close to an end, and we STILL
haven't used those tickets!"
"Ami," I answered. "I'm waiting for the
perfect night. I don't want anything to
go wrong with this, so I'm saving it for
just the right moment."
She leaned her head against my chest.
"You don't know how much I love you..."
I decided to joke around a little,
which was bad timing. "Not like you tell
me every single day." I laughed.
"Yeah, whuteva." She held back a
chuckle, playfully hitting me in the
shoulder. "What time is it, anyway?"
I didn't know. "I don't know." See?
Told ya so. "By the looks of things...
around 9. You've been gone for quite a
while!"
"Yeah. Had alot to look at. The place
expanded a little... that mall HAS to be
the largest building ever!"
I pointed to her. "Speakin of
expanding, I finished the study!"
Her eyes widened, "You did? Already?
Lemme see!!" She broke past me, then
stepping into the study. I decided to
step in behind her.
She was excited. She liked to read
alot, so I made the study for her. Of
course, i threw in a few things to fit
my needs, too. "Leo?"
"Hmm?" I looked towards her. She found
one of my little add-ons.
She started to laugh as she talked. "Is
this a mini-refrigerator?" She opened
the door to the fridge box.
I shrugged. "I get hungry when I draw
or read." I noticed that she liked the
fridge box. Whew... I thought i wouldn't
be able to get past that. Goes to show
how compatible we really are!
Ugh... An hour till midnight. I better
take a shower. Ami opened the door to
the bathroom, towel over her shoulder,
wearing her pink pajamas with a pikachu
on the back. She was a big Pokémon fan.
I grinned, shook my head, and went in,
closing the door behind me.
After I took my shower, I had my
clothes on and was drying my hair with a towel. I brushed my fingers through my
hair once or twice, and it fell
perfectly into place. Middle part, not
too neat, but not too messy. I needed to trim them, they got to my chin. I
actually looked at myself for once. Not
bad looking... Kinda muscular. No
modesty there. I had blue fur... long
bangs... hazel eyes... and instead of
dreads, I had a long lock of hair
hanging where my dreadlocks used to be.
I tie it back with a black ribbon when i
go around places, since it was reaching
to my waist. I DEFINATELY need a
trim.
I wiped my face as I walked into the
bedroom. I was in my own night outfit.
Boxers and a white Tshirt. I sat on my
side of the bed, and threw my towel and
old clothes in the clothes hamper. I sat
back against the wall, hands behind my
head. I was waiting for Ami to come in.
I don't sleep without her.
She came in with a wierd green blanket.
It had, of course, a pikachu on it, with
lots of little thunder bolts on it.
Heh... She bought that electric Pikachu
blanket... Ami commented, "Never know
when it gets TOO cold." She laughed,
jumped in the bed, and wrapped the
blanket around us.
I couldn't blame her with that joke. We
lived in the Ice Cap Zone, on the
Floating Island. Coldest place on
Mobius, i tell ya. Even if you master
the cold, yer still gonna shiver. What's
unusual, is that some flowers, though
thought to be extinct, grow around in
this arctic weather. We sometimes plant
them around our house when the blizzard
isn't coming through.
She snuggled up against me. I finally
slid into bed after i kissed her
goodnight...
I was... running. In a completely
desolate area. It was all white...?
Then, I swore I saw a silhouette of
someone... I got closer. It was Ami! I
stepped up towards her, only to find out
I wasn't even getting closer. I started
to run. She seemed to get farther
away!?
I looked around. This had to be a
dream. Then, a giant image of a headshot
of Ami appeared in what seemed to be the
sky... she was suffering... I managed to
speak. "Wha... What's... going...
on?!?
The image showed Ami screaming out.
Then I found out, she was screaming. It
was so loud, I didn't hear it!! Then,
the image of Ami and the silhouette
disappeared in a black and red whisp...
Too wierd.
Something was wrong. My shoulders and
right arm were feeling a little
tingly... like when your foot's asleep,
only more annoying. My right arm's skin
started melting off?!? It revealed a
metallic arm... robotic, nonetheless.
Blades shot out from it. The tingling
from my arm stopped... In fact, I didn't
feel anything in my arm...
Then my back... the tingling started to
spread, then, it felt like something was
ripping out of my back... This dream...
it's... so real... I can actually
feel... agh... PAIN... Then, a strange
RRIP sound came from behind. I noticed
the long leathery demonic wings spread
from my back. My eyes were burning...!
Everything was red... When is this dream
going to stop?!?
I... I was able to see... Ami...
sleeping? ... no... she... she's...
not... breathing... Th-this can't...
be... She is right in front of me... I
saw the slash marks on her stomach...
Blood... dripping from the claws of my
new right arm.... no... I couldn't
have.... no... No... NO!!! NOOOOO!!!!
Everything was spinning!! I-i couldn't
stand up... I nearly fell... But...
I'm... Flying?!? My wings... Covered in
Ami's blood... why... Why ME?!?
I shot up, sweating, nearly screaming.
I managed to get a hold of myself a
little. Ami saw me awoke... and scared
out of my mind. "leo... you.. yawn...
alright?"
"No... i'm... not alright...
Ami..."
She looked sleepily at me. Something I
dread saying, slipped out. "I think... I
saw... our future..."
