Virals Pack: Reborn

Chapter [#]: Fireflies

A/N: Hey guys! Hitrina has been a huge hit, so here's a cute one-shot style thing! The format may be a bit confusing, so read this carefully. The italics will be the lyrics from Owl City's Fireflies, which will serve as a sort of background music. The normal text below the italicized line will be what is going on at that point. Imagine it as a movie montage style, just music, no sound. 

Setting: Outside at night. The sky is clear, the moon is full, there is a slight cool breeze.

*intro music*

Katrina and Hi are strolling through the woods, talking animatedly. They approach a small grassy clearing.

You would not believe your eyes, if ten million fireflies, lit up the world as I fell asleep

Both stop and watch as countless fireflies rise up from the grass, blinking. 

Cause they'd fill the open air, and leave teardrops everywhere, you'd think me rude, but I would just stand and...stare...

Katrina's eyes light up as she stares at all the fireflies. Fireflies light up the whole clearing, hanging off of trees, resting in the grass, buzzing around in the air. Hi is watching her and beaming.

I'd like to make myself believe, that planet earth turns, slowly, it's hard to say but I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep, cause everything is never as it seems

Katrina grabs Hi's hand and pulls him into the clearing. They stop in the center of the clearing and Katrina slowly spins in a circle, looking up at the fireflies.

Cause I'd get a thousand hugs, from ten thousand lightning bugs, as they try to teach me how to dance

Hi bows and extends a hand towards Katrina, inviting her to dance. Katrina grins and accepts with an exaggerated curtsy. They begin to spin around.

A foxtrot above my head, a sock hop beneath my bed, the disco ball is just hanging by a thread. 

They both spin around each other, the full moon shines brightly from above.

I'd like to make myself believe, that planet earth turns, slowly, it's hard to say but I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep, cause everything is never as it seems

View comes in closer, close up of both faces as they continue to spin around. They are both gazing at each other and smiling.

Leave my door open just a crack, cause I feel like such an insomniac, why do I tire of counting sheep, when I'm far too tired to fall asleep

Both stop dancing, stand there with arms wrapped around each other for a moment. Hi suddenly sneezes, startling both of them. They laugh together, but Katrina starts to yawn. Hi smiles and grabs her hand, starting to lead her back through the meadow. 

To ten million fireflies, it's weird cause I hate goodbyes, I got misty eyes as they said farewell

They reach the edge of the clearing, Katrina stops and turns back to look at the fireflies still flying around, blinking. Hi sneakily snags a couple of fireflies in the background.

But I'll know where several are, if my dreams get real bizarre, cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

Hi nudges Katrina and hold out his hands, which are clasped together. Katrina smiles and gently opens his hands to release two fireflies. They fly up and away towards the moon, dancing around each other.

I'd like to make myself believe, that planet earth turns, slowly, it's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep, cause everything is never as it seems

They exit the forest and reach the grassy area between the forest and the sand. There is a convenient grassy hill in view. Katrina nudges Hi and begins to run towards the hill, Hi chases after her. 

I'd like to make myself believe, that planet earth turns, slowly, it's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep, cause everything is never as it seems

They reach the top of the hill, Hi flops down, tired. Katrina flops down beside him and starts to excitedly point out constellations. They lay together, backs to the ground, and eyes to the sky.

[softer] I'd like to make myself believe, that planet earth turns, slowly, it's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep, cause everything is never as it seems

Katrina ceases pointing out stars and folds her arms on her stomach. Hi reaches over and tenderly holds her hand. Katrina turns and smiles, the stars reflecting in her eyes.

[music begins to fade out]

Both lean in a little closer

[last bell note]

Kiss
