\TUESDAY/
. . .
[Ember] Let's go.
[Cyan] Right behind you.
*Ember takes the lead.
*They enter a high rise building, where they ride an elevator into Ember's condominium.
[Ember] \opens door\ Here. \points\
[Cyan] Okay.
*Ember's condominium is a single open-plan room.
*As they enter, the lounge area is immediate on the left: a spacious plush rug anchored by plush chairs.
*The bed is situated in the far left corner, while the study table occupies the furthest right wall.
[Ember] I'll just get some pillows and blanket, just sit there. \points to the plush chairs\
*Ember takes the pillows and blanket.
[Cyan] \lies on the plush rug and begins to sleep\
[Ember] \sees Cyan lying on the floor again\ (This feels uneasy.)
[Ember] \remembers last night convo\ (Alone.) \remembers the school's hallway\
[Ember] (Cyan's sleeping on the cold floor.) \ponders\ (I have a soft plush rug but still...)
[Ember] \uneasy\ (Yeah, this wont work.) \goes to Cyan and taps\
[Ember] Cyan, up, let's go to my bed. \motions to her bed\
[Cyan] \thinks\ (*fails) \goes to bed and sleeps\
[Ember] \sighs\ (I got a boy in my bed.)
[Ember] \sits on the bed and stares at Cyan\ \realizes\
[Ember] . . . (At this time my heart usually beats faster.)
[Ember] (Wait, aren't I supposed to be flustered right now?) \suspicious\
[Ember] \rises to stand, checks pulse and self\ (Huh?) \stares at Cyan\
[Ember] \gets closer to Cyan\ \lies next to Cyan\ (What?)
[Ember] (Why am I not flustered?) \thinks\ (What is this feeling?)
[Ember] \realizes\ (Comfortable.) (I'm comfortable with Cyan?)
[Ember] \holds Cyan's hand\ (Ah, yes. It's true, being with Cyan, is comfortable.) \zzZ\
*Ember dozes to sleep.
-CYAN'S Dream-
[Cyan] \sees an empty white space\ (Where am I?)
*A gust of wind blows from the south and hits his back.
*A cool air in a summer breeze.
[Cyan] \turns around\
*An open umbrella hits his face and Cyan falls down.
[Cyan] Ouch! \stares at the white ceiling\
*The white ceiling slowly renders the summer sky. A bright sun glares back at him.
[Cyan] (What?) \sits up and looks at the direction where the umbrella comes from\
*Cyan sees grass growing out of the floor.
[Cyan] \looks down and touches grass\ (What? Grass?)
*Cyan rises back and stares back at the direction the wind came from. And a giant wave of water starts to render.
[Cyan] (Ah f**) \puts both his arms up to block and cover his face and prepares himself to be hit by a tsunami\
*A small drop of water splashed onto his arm completely different from the expected wave.
[Cyan] (What?) \puts down his arms and takes a peek\
*Now there's a rendered outdoor pool.
[Cyan] (What?) \stares at the pool\
*The pool suddenly moves towards Cyan's direction until Cyan's feet is above water touching it. And splash, Cyan falls into the water.
[Cyan] (Where is the floor? \looks around and sees the wall\
*Cyan then swims toward the wall and rises grabbing the pools edge.
[Cyan] (A bench?) \sees a bench in front of him, and looks around\
*The whole pool area has random chairs and tables.
[Cyan] \pulls up, sits on the edge then sighs\
[Cyan] (What the hell is happening?) \looks around\
*An isolated pool area now exists in this endless white space, that has a sky.
[Cyan] (Am I outside?) I'm not even an outdoor guy. \sighs\
[Cyan] \lies down exhausted and closed his eyes to lessen the suns glare\
*The light shining through Cyan's eye suddenly fades.
[Cyan] \opens eye and sees a plane\
*The planes shadow is blocking Cyan from the sun.
[Cyan] A plane huh? \staring at the plane\ Wait! Somethings falling?
*A dark figure concealed by the suns light is dropping towards Cyan.
[Cyan] (Is that a nuke!? Ugh.) \Cyan lies down, resigns and closes his eyes\
*Bam! Someone is now on top of Cyan. But Cyan doesn't feel anything until:
[Cyan] \feels hair touching his face\ (What?) \opens eyes\
*Up close, is Ember's face, staring, then she smiles.
[Cyan] (Ah. This is definitely a dream. There's no way someone could survive that fall.)
[Cyan] (Dreams don't really talk.) \goes with the flow and says\ Hello Ember.
*Cyan expecting the dream to break because Ember can't talk.
[Ember] Hello Cyan! \grins\
*Waves of goosebumps radiates throughout Cyan.
[Cyan] (What? Ember's voice? Is this real?) \shock in his face\ Ember.
[Ember] Yeah? What's up Cyan? \turns over to Cyan's side and lies beside him\
[Cyan] What are you doing here?
[Ember] Let's go for a swim!
[Cyan] \Cyan looks at himself\ (I'm wearing a school uniform?)
[Cyan] \sneaks a peek at Ember\ (She's also wearing a school uniform.)
[Cyan] How?
*Ember sits up, uses her hands to push and slide herself into the water. She stands up and turns to Cyan.
[Cyan] (What? Wasn't there no floor?)
[Ember] \reaches out her hand to Cyan\ Let's go. \smiles\
[Cyan] (Can you even touch things in dreams?) \extends his hand and reaches Ember's hand\ (What?)
*Cyan can touch Ember's hand.
*Ringgg. Cyan opens his eyes, and is now transported in another dream?
[Cyan] \looks at his hand holding Ember's hand\ … \looks around\
[Cyan] (Ember, bed, covered in one blanket.) Yup, this is a dream. \sighs\
*Ringgg.
[Cyan] … (What kind of dream has an alarm sound?) \Cyan then turns to the direction of the sound\
*Cyan finds a phone on the bedside table.
[Cyan] (Is that Ember's bouquet?) \takes the phone and turns the alarm off\
*Cyan then checks the time.
[Cyan] (Lunch time.) \thinks\ (You can't see time in dreams.) . . . \sits up\ (This isn't a dream.)
-Cyan is not in a dream-
*Cyan is in bed with Ember, holding hands.
[Cyan] Ember. \adjusts his feet so he sits in a better position and looks at Ember\
[Cyan] \smiles\ (Ember, why are you sleeping with full makeup on?) \giggles\
[Cyan] . . . (Aren't I supposed to be flustered?) \moves his hand to his chest to feel his heartbeat\
*Calm.
*Maybe because of Cyan's wild dream, bridging the surprise of dreams and reality, Cyan feels calm.
[Cyan] (But, it's not just calm. I feel pleasant. Happy?) \Cyan looks for the word\
[Cyan] Ah, comfortable. \smiles\
*Cyan stares at Ember once more.
[Cyan] \grins\ I should wake her up. \taps Ember until she wakes up\
[Ember] \wakes up, looks at Cyan, sits up, raises her hands holding Cyan's hand\
*And without any surprise, shock, or embarrassment, Ember says.
[Ember] \smiles\ Good morning, Cyan! \grins\
