Somewhere over the rainbow

Way up high,

There's a land that I heard of

Once in a lullaby.

Minka rolled over in her sleep. What was this rainbow? Where had this song come from?

Somewhere over the rainbow

Skies are blue,

And the dreams that you dare to dream

Really do come true.

Earth... thought Minka. Was it really possible? Minka's eyes fluttered, and she heard a gasp of joy and relief. Minke was by her side, singing to her. "Continue..." muttered Minka, before drifting slowly to sleep again. 

Someday I'll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far

Behind me.

Where troubles melt like lemon drops

Away above the chimney tops

That's where you'll find me.

Minka dreamt that she was headed towards Earth, in a big, rickety rocket, shooting past planets and stars, Earth getting ever closer in the porthole. Then, the rocket stopped, and started to drift. Minke screamed, the air started to leak out, and Minka heard one last thing before her dream changed and faded away and she floated in a dreamless sea of black.

Somewhere over the rainbow

Bluebirds fly.

Birds fly over the rainbow.

Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly

Beyond the rainbow

Why, oh why can't I?

Sorry, another short one. I promised I'd upload it, so I did. It'll be a while before the next one, sorry. I'll start actually working on this story, though eventually. For now, bear with me :)
