Stories For A Rainy Day

Reflections

//for my dear friend EmilenRising. All the love for you and your OC Em <3

As the sun slowly made its way past the horizon the blonde female stumbled to the bathroom, half asleep and groggy. As she washed her face she felt arms wrap around her and took in the ever candy-rich scent of her best friend behind her. Emilen smiled as she rubbed her eyes then looked up to the mirror, seeing before her a much more foreign sight than the two she knew were there. Two entities stood before her in the mirror, a woman with long blossom pink hair and a much taller monochrome clown, both smiling as brightly as it seemed was possible. She shook her head and squinted before realizing it was now gone and all she could see was her dearest friend Misty falling asleep on her shoulder. "Huh..." The woman shook her head once more before turning around and picking up her friend. "You....we BOTH need some more sleep..." Emilen carried her back to the bed with a thought deep inside her mind. 'I wish that image would've stayed for a little longer.....they looked.....familiar.' A frown touched the blonde's lips as she covered her friend and laid on the bed beside her, drifting off soon after into an uneasy slumber.

The short haired blonde awoke to the scent of hazelnut scented coffee and rubbed the last vestiges of sleep from her eyes with a sigh and looked over at the frizzy haired woman sitting happily in a chair beside the bed holding her customary can of Monster before she picked up the coffee and took a sip. The other always made her coffee perfectly even when she couldn't do so herself, which she found strange but endearing at the same time. "Did you sleep alright?" Em asked, turning her emerald colored gaze towards her ever present companion.

"Yep! Well besides a weird dream I had anyway..." the hyper wolf replied with a faint frown which quickly changed back to a smile. "I think I was sleepwalking last night."

Em leaned back against the wall and closed her eyes for a moment. "What do you mean?"

"Well, I think I was in the bathroom last night but you were looking in the mirror and I saw someone who looked like you but with pink hair and blue eyes and there was a tall clown looking guy standing behind you."

The blonde jumped slightly and looked over. "You saw it too? I thought I was just imagining things..."

Misty shook her head. "Nope I saw it too. Do you know who those people were? Like I said, the one looked like you. Kinda like how you looked when we first met but it's been a while. Hm, hold on," the woman set her drink down and bounced over to the near by closet and started digging around, clothes and stuffed toys flying around the room.

"Misty what are you doing? You're making a mess!" the blonde laughed as she watched her friend disappear into the closet, only to reappear moments later holding an old photo album.

Misty sat on the floor and flipped through the pages until she found what she had been looking for and carefully pulled a photo from its sleeve holding it up. "This is similar to what I saw last night. I wasn't sleep walking or dreaming?"

Em slid off the bed and sat on the floor gently taking the photo. "No you were half asleep but I saw the same thing," she replied as she studied the photo, lightly tracing the pad of her index finger along the monochrome being in the photo trying her hardest to remember who he was. "He looks so familiar but I can't remember from where or who he is...." Em mumbled to herself and sighed flipping the photo over, squinting to try and make out the faded writing. 'To my darling Emmy from your monochrome rose.' A faint frown of confusion crossed the woman's lips. "Monochrome rose?..." she said softly to herself before jumping when the picture was taken from her.
