~The sunrise is just at It's peak. A beautiful, glowing streak of orange hits the water as Fae lays there on the beach. She's smiling, a smile so bright the sun shines back on her teeth as she looks up at the sun.

A shadow appears, covering her from the streaks of sun hitting her directly in the eyes.

''Hello, darling.'' A familiar, manly voice speaks. ''Is the sun bothering you again?'' A smile appears on the mans face. It's Jack.

''Yes, yes it is.'' Fae smiles, as she sits up. Jack lends out a hand, helping Fae get up on her feet. ''You're not supposed to be down there, Francesca.'' 

Hearing the word ''Francesca'' makes her playfully punch Jack on the shoulder. ''Don't Francesca me.'' She smiles, as Jack wraps his hands around her waist. 

''I have a question for you...'' He says, looking down at Fae's bright blue eyes. Jack gets down on one knee.

''13-7..'' He speaks.

Fae scrunches her eyebrows, her heartbeat is at It's top. What did he just call her?

 ''13-7, wake up.'' His voice turns more and more into female, as he begins to hallucinate away~

Fae blinks her eyes. She's back in her room. She realized, it was a dream. Jack was not there, he was not proposing. He was never even there. And neither was the beach, it was all just a fucking dream.

''Finally, you're awake.'' Mama Ashley looks at Fae. ''You've overslept yourself. even five minutes late to your test will make you fail.''


Mama Ashley looks furious at the thought of being late for the test. As she begins walking towards the door she stops, turns back and looks at Fae. ''Get dressed. you've got two minutes.'' She opens the door, walks out and leaves it creaked open.

Fae does nothing but sit in her bed for a few seconds. She rubs her hands on her face, and runs a hand through her hair. ''What the fuck was that.'' she whispers to herself. She quickly gets up, shakes it out of her head, and puts on her clothes. She does a couple of stretches and hops before walking towards the door. ''Ready.'' She walks out to Mama Ashley, who closes the door behind them.

 As they begin to walk, a guard closely follows them.'' Does he really need to be up my ass like that?'' Fae thinks to herself. She gathers her thoughts and tries to act as professional as possible.

A few moments later, they've reached the test room, and Mama Ashley opens the door. ''Go on in, I'll be there shortly.'' She tells Fae, who reluctantly walks into the room.

Inside the room there's a monitor with an armchair next to it. Across from that, a desk white desk, with a small chair behind. Fae takes place in the armchair, knowing what's about to happen. She's tried it before. She's gonna get tested. See if her abilities still work. Yet Mama Ashley is gonna come in and blabber about it all over again. 

A few seconds later, Mama Ashley walks into the room. She looks different. 

Worried? Sick? Maybe both?

She takes out her clipboard and begins writing the usual stuff on there. ''Alright, 13-7. I see you've already gotten comfortable. For safety measures sake I still need to walk you through it, though.'' She looks up from her clipboard and eyes Fae, as she takes a seat at the desk.

Fae crossed her arms. ''Why can't you just put these things on my head? Get it over with?'' She points at the electrodes laying besides the monitor.

 A small grin comes from Mama Ashley. ''It is protocol, 13-7.'' The grin fades away. She puts down her clipboard and begins walking towards Fae. She takes out the recording device from her lab coat and clicks the button making it turn on. She then walks over to the monitor besides where Fae is seated, places down the device and picks up a box of black latex gloves and slides them over her fingers. She takes one of the two electrodes laying near the monitor and tucks away the strands of Fae's hair behind her ears. ''Alright. What's gonna happen now is the electrodes I'm placing here, will give me a direct signal of changes occurring inside of your head.'' She continues to pick up the second electrode and tucks away Fae's hair on the left side, placing it and gently pressing it down.
