Welcome to my nightmare

[ninjainviolet]

Who: Sheena Fujibayashi and YOU!
What: Nightmare!
When: During the Nightmare Plot (backdated to the 5th)
Where: Her mind
Rating: PG?

[Sheena had planned to go back to Lloyd's house as soon as she could, but that plan was changed without her permission as she succumbed to whatever malevolent force decided to infiltrate the castle and put its residents to sleep.

Like many others, she now sleeps deeply, no movement or sound except the occasional protest as her slumber is interrupted by memories and nightmares she had long ago buried.

Memories that are now alive and well and waiting to share themselves with whoever crosses their paths.

Sleep well.]

[You got into her dream, Cloud, that's all.]

My parents...

[shrugs_a_lot]

Were you expecting to see them there?

[ninjainviolet]

Hoping. I was hoping to.

[Suddenly, there's another sound--someone else is walking through the forest, towards the loudly crying child. Grabbing Cloud's hand, Sheena ducks behind a large bush with him and peers towards the baby.]

Please let this be the same...

[shrugs_a_lot]

[Huh... He was about to tell her something about his own parents to make her feel better when she pulls him away.]

The same what...?

[ninjainviolet]

The same as before.

[Because Cloud is present and real, she knows the castle's involved somehow, and is afraid that it'll interfere with the next part.

A bit silly perhaps, because it's a dream and can't really change what's already happened, but she can't help it.]

[Soon, an older gentleman comes into view and makes his way over to the baby, making soft comforting noises to quiet the child.]

Grandpa...

[shrugs_a_lot]

Was it the same as before?

[ninjainviolet]

[She nods, smiling when some of the talk turns goofy as he begins to walk away. Even the look he casts in their direction is the same as every other time she's had this dream--as though he knows she's there.

She waits until he's gone before stepping out of her hiding place, her voice full of awe.]

I don't remember my parents or a lot from when I was a baby, so this is what I started to imagine had happened.

[He thinks about it for a moment. Did that mean this wasn't real? ... Either way...]

Do you know a way out of here?

[ninjainviolet]

[She nods.]

Towards Ozette.

[She never goes back to Mizuho; she searches for her parents in the other direction.]
