3 Dreams, 3 Realities

"Everyone has a wild dream, only some make it a reality" ~Rose4eva789

Vincent was about to make his first debut on stage. He couldn't believe he finally had the chance he had been dreaming of. He honestly felt he had come a long way in his time as an apprentice.

His mentor was standing to the side away from the audience's sight with a smile on his face. He wanted to ensure all eyes would be on the boy he helped evolve into the young lad he is today. He put a lot of his money into making sure this first show would be a success, to see Vincent shine like the star he saw in him the day he had asked him to be his mentor.

The people in the audience were chattering away in excitement to see who this new singer was that they heard about so much in the news recently.

Vincent made close friends with the people he was told would work with him on his journey to stardom who were now with him on stage. One on the drums, another on the acoustic guitar, and one on the electric guitar. Vincent had the bass and they were about to play to an audience in 3...2...1...

"VINCENT!!! IF THAT IS YOUR GUITAR I'M HEARING I SWEAR I'LL BREAK THAT THING APART WITH MY BARE HANDS" 

Vincent stopped playing his late father's bass the second he heard his mother's yell. Hearing her come up the stairs, he quickly hid the guitar in the back of his wardrobe and sat at his desk pretending he had been doing his college homework.

"How can you be so irresponsible?" Was the first thing he heard his mother say at his door. "Do you have any idea how much I have to work to keep this roof over our heads? Stop with the useless piece of wood. It won't get you anywhere..." Vincent listened to her continuing with her rant, trying his best not to break. Maybe music isn't the way. Father never said anything about having a music life. He was a doctor with a high pay, that's what Mom said anyway... but... would that really make me happier than what I wanted to do?

Xena was about to enter a whole new world to her. She flew to Japan for her holiday and was making her way to a nearby hotel. Along the way, she went through a park of cherry blossom trees. Pink petals floated around her as she gazed in awe at the sight.

When reaching her hotel after some directions from a kind lady who spoke her language, she went to the hotel's buffet restaurant. There was a wide variety of mouthwatering dishes available and she took a bit of each to taste. She felt like she could eat here all day.

A little while after she reached her room on the penthouse that had the most beautiful view overlooking the city. The bedroom itself was beautiful. It was a deep violet on one wall and cream-coloured on the rest of the walls. The curtains of the window were violet too. The queen-sized bed was draped with fresh violet and cream sheets to match the room, and had a bedside table on either side, each having a golden/cream-coloured lamp with designs of birds and flowers. Opposite the bed was a TV hung on the wall and under it, a table with the remote and a Wii U that was already connected. She laid down on the bed, closing her eyes, thinking there was nothing that could be better than this.

Thunder was heard, waking Xena from her slumber in the dark alley that she resided in. She was soaked through, but with nothing to keep her dry and warm, what was the girl to do? She sighed, realising that all she saw was only a dream and decided to go back to sleep. Of course, nothing will change. Who cares for a girl living in the streets? No one! *sigh* Maybe lighting will strike close and take me away she thought, before drifting off sleep.

Ilias had just finished his latest designs. "They look stunning as always boss," said his secretary, "Though I really wish you would take a break."

Ilias chuckled and said "And you're as flattering as ever, Charlene. Don't worry too much, I've completed the last design I want for my next release." He took out his other designs and spread them out on the table for Charlene to see.

She smiled and said "You are so much more talented than you know. Remember the time we met at school and your first career idea was to be a fashion designer."

"I had no confidence back then, just a kid with imagination" Ilias replied, remembering his childhood. "You're the one who believed in me, more than I did, and look where you got me," he chuckled again.

Charlene blushed and replied, "W-well there you go again. It was still your doing that got you here."

"So much competition between other designers, and you never left my side."

"Ilias! Now you just embarrassing me!" Charlene exclaimed, blushing a darker shade of red.

"Which reminds me..." Ilias muttered, reaching into his pocket. "There's been another competition I've been trying to win." He glanced for a moment at Charlene's right hand, more specifically, her ring finger, which was bare except for her trimmed nail coated in a magenta hue.

"Huh? What competition?" Charlene asked, completely oblivious to what was happening right in front of her.

"Charlene," Ilias said, taking out a small box, "you have no idea how much you mean to me, how thankful I am to have met such a beautiful and kindhearted lady like you. That is why I wish to ask," he got down on one knee and opened up the box for her to see. Inside was a small silver ring embedded with diamonds and engraved with the words 'mon amour' and beautiful writing. "Will you-"

But Charlene cut him off, exclaiming "Yes!! Yes!! Omg YES!!" And hugged him tight.

Ilias chuckled at her reaction before slipping the ring onto her finger. "It suits you quite well." He said.

"Because you bought it," she replied with a wink.

They both laughed before leaving the building. "Let's go out to eat tonight," Ilias said.

"Is that your way of asking for a date?" Charlene asked, teasing him.

"Choose a place before I change my mind," he said before getting in his car.

"Oi, you rascal!" She called after him, getting into the passenger seat before they drove off towards the sunset.
