Warnings: Creepy nightmares? Innuendo? I don't know, the usual.



There had been so much buzz about those stupid lollipops for weeks now. Not only out loud, but in her head - thoughts ranging from what's the deal with those things? to gotta have more to pricy as fuck. Eventually, she confused the cravings of others for her own, and it just so happened that her very own roommate had a box right on her side of the room!

Casey wasn't supposed to touch it, but she didn't see why. Money issues, or something. She didn't get the big deal about money either. She wasn't a Meowth, so there was no reason for her to have any. Therefore, the rules about it didn't apply to her.

That was her logic, anyway.

When Ai was asleep, she opened up the box and put her telekinesis to good use. Five of the candies lifted into the air - two green, three yellow - and the wrappers tore off in perfect synchronization. Too bad nobody was watching. The Abra opened her mouth wide and crammed all of them in at once, because she had no concept of savouring anything.

Shortly after, she fell asleep, the sticks still poking out of her mouth. That had to be bad for her teeth.

Soon the dreaming began...

He knew why she was pausing. Of course he knew -- to know was the same as to be for him. He would have looked at her, but where was the point in that when his eyes were closed?

Instead, he moved behind her, covering her own eyes with his hands. "You don't have to, dearest. Close your eyes, say nothing, stay happy."

TOO LATE.

"It's not real, is it. Not even you."

She reached up to lightly touch her fingertips to Uxie's hands, but made no move to push him away. He felt real, but it was just a trick of her own mind, wasn't it?

[betterthanawiki]

He let his hands drop, settling down to wrap around her instead. His head dropped down to her shoulder.

"You don't believe in fairies?" Uxie asked, almost playfully. "I am and am not real, I suppose. I do hope I'm not cold to the touch. Right now, I sleep in Lake Verity's arms. The mind, however... it wanders." Wanders a great distance, but the myths were quite familiar with the roving spirits of the Lake Trio -- and a power that shone as brightly as Casey's had a way of acting as a beacon.

"I suppose it's no surprise that it should wander back to you."

[darkpulse]

She wasn't sure whether or not to believe that it could really be him, but she accepted that it was at least a pretty accurate recreation. Just as she was pretty okay with the realization that everything was a dream. Now that she knew and could control it, she'd make sure to make it last as long as possible.

It sure had been a while since she had any kind of dream about people trying to seduce her or something though. HMM.

"Do you come spy on my dreams often?"

[betterthanawiki]

"Oh, no, hardly," Uxie confessed. "I'm only here because I'm piggybacking on a fellow psychic. Dreams don't interest me much, anyway. No synthesis of new information, only reiteration of things you already know."

He smiled, peeking one eye open. "Of course, I suppose that doesn't mean I've never showed up in your dreams before. Maybe you're conquring my image up on a regular basis."

[darkpulse]

"I'm sure you'd know if I was." It had been a while since she'd even given him much thought, to be honest. It was easier not to think about the people who were gone.

The grass at her feet withered and died.

"I wonder what that means... You actually being in a happy dream, I mean." Of course, 'happy' had become more 'bittersweet.' Things she could never really have, people she could never properly be with anymore.

[betterthanawiki]

It went without saying that he knew, but surely it was polite to at least allow a little aura of mystery? The contents of dreams really were awfully unimportant to him, after all. A little blip of cognition in the here-and-gone sleep cycle of an oh-so-gone ex-lifeform. It sounded almost insulting when put that way, didn't it? And speaking of insulting...

"Goodness, I'm almost offended. Does that mean I'm out of place in a happy dream, then?" Uxie teased, both eyes open now. He gave her neck a brief little nuzzle. "Ah, you're so awfully mean, dear creature."
