You're back at the house, your cellphone in your hand. 'Hi.' It's the message from Sora that you received on your way home from school. You're unsure exactly how to respond to this, seeing as she's taking the first step and reaching out with communication first. You grin despite yourself, and you reply. 'Hey there.' Seconds stretch into minutes after you send that text, and you start getting restless. You stand up, stretch, and head into the kitchen to fetch yourself a small snack and a glass of soda. When you come back into the living room, you kick your feet up on the coffee table and take a drink before taking a bite of your snack.

Nothing on the phone, so you turn on the TV and start watching anime. That's when your phone vibrates again. You pick it up and see it's from Miyuki. 'I'll be home in about ten minutes.' You send a quick reply and go back to the TV. Your phone goes off yet again, and you pick it up.

'How are you?' You check the sender, and it's from Sora. You send a reply saying you're decent, and you ask after her in response. You get lost in the anime when the door opens, and Miyuki walks in.

"Hey, what's going on?" she asks.

"Not much, just watching anime."

"Cool. Hey, I'm going to take a shower, alright?"

Your phone vibrates, and see Sora's responded. "Alright, sure," you say, not really paying attention. The message says, 'Well. What are you doing?'

File: 1351474640399.png-(189 KB, 246x372, miyuki_16.png)

'I'm watching anime,' you reply. 'What about you? Anything exciting going on?' You hit send and finish watching the show you're watching before throwing away your trash and getting yourself another glass of soda. You find your seat back on the couch and close your eyes a bit, and you hear footsteps from beind you.

"Done watching anime?" you hear Miyuki ask. She walks around and sits down on the couch next to you and stretches.

"I think so," you say, not entirely sure what you want to do. It feels like you're just waiting for Sora to respond back, and you know you shouldn't feel that kind of anticipation. The last thing she wants is to be treated like a princess; she gets that from everyone anyway. You glance over at Miyuki, who is looking at you with a confused look. "Wanna do homework?"

"That might be a good idea," she replies. The two of you get your bags and start working on homework, math in particular since it's first. As you finish answering an equation, your phone vibrates.

'You watch anime? I wouldn't have guessed.' You realize, right now, how difficult it is to read sarcasm from text, which is even more difficult due to the girl you're texting.

"Popular guy, huh?" Miyuki asks teasingly.

"Ehehe, kind of," you reply with a lopsided grin. You type up your response.

'I try to keep it quiet, but my close friends know about it, so there's that.' You send the text off and go back to work. For the next couple hours, you don't get any texts, so you're content to continue working on homework. With the two of you working together, you're able to make quick work of it all. When you stop, your stomach starts to grumble. "I guess it's dinner time," you announce.

"Yes please," Miyuki says, leaning back against the couch. "I could go for food right now, and then maybe just sleep the rest of the night." She yawns. "I'm really tired after all that swim team stuff I did today."

"What did you do?" you ask as you stand up. "Want a drink?" She nods, and you head into the kitchen.

"I had to plan the swim team practice schedule," she says from the living room. "That means I had to do it all myself to make sure it wasn't too harsh." When you come back with a drink, she takes it. "Thanks."

"I guess that could get really bad," you muse. She nods.

Your phone vibrates, and you check it. 'Why?' That was a short response, especially for the amount of time in between messages.

"So what do you want for dinner?" Miyuki asks when you look up from your phone.

"I could make something," you suggest. "Do you want to eat right now, or can we wait a bit?"

"I'd love to eat right now," she says. "If that's okay, that is."

"Yeah, it's fine. Sit tight for a bit, and I'll start something. Unless you want something specific?"

"Could we have chicken?" she asks. "And miso soup." You nod and head into the kitchen to prepare exactly that. In between things, you pull your phone out and stare at the message. She's either doing this on purpose or she's just really bad at having conversations. You're leaning more toward the former. She seems like she might be the kind of girl that would mess with someone.

'I prefer it when people don't make a big deal out of it.' You send the text and tend to the chicken, and once that's done, you finish the miso while the chicken breasts rest. You set the table and call Miyuki into the kitchen, and the two of you eat.

"So we need to get up early in the morning again," Miyuki says after eating some of her meal. "We need to get you running again, and you mentioned something about wanting to start lifting weights?" You nod. "Well, you're in luck. I managed to bring home a small weight set from school."

"Really? you ask, and she nods. "Awesome, thanks, Miyuki."

"It's nothing. Thanks for the food. It was good."

"Of course it was," you say seriously. "I made it." The two of you laugh, and Miyuki offers to clean the dishes, which you let her do. You head into the living room again and lay down on the couch before you pull your cellphone out of your pocket. As you're looking at it, it vibrates, and it slips from your hand and hits you in the face. "Ow, shit."

You open the text message. 'That makes sense. I guess some people really do blow things out of proportion.' You definitely agree with that. 'Sorry about the delay between my messages. Father keeps making me come out of my room.' Well, that explains that. Maybe her father doesn't want her texting people? Or maybe he's another asshole that doesn't need to exist. Both are distinct possibilities at this point.

'Why is that?' you send back.

The response takes significantly less time to arrive. 'I can't really talk about it. Good news is that I said I needed to sleep, so he said goodnight.'

That's weird. She can't talk about it? Well, no need to push it tonight; you figure you could bring it up again later on if the circumstances are right. 'That's good to hear.'

'I guess now I should get to writing. I didn't do as much as I meant to today,' comes the reply.

Miyuki comes back into the living room and sees you texting away. "Who're you so talkative with tonight?" she asks, leaning agianst the wall.

"Sora," you reply. Her look of shock is memorable.

"So little Anon-kun asked for the school's idol and got it?" she teases.

"Actually, no," you counter. "She gave it to me on her own." Her eyes widen, and you aren't sure if she surprised or if she's impressed.

She shrugs after a minute. "Well, I'm going to get ready for bed." She heads upstairs, and you're still on the couch. You turn back to the phone.

'How much do you write in a day?' you ask curiously.

Again, the reply is quick. "It depends on the day, in complete honesty. Sometimes I write very little but brainstorm a lot, and other times, I've peaked at roughly 20,000 words. I end up scrapping parts that I don't like, though, so in reality, I don't keep much.'

'Isn't that inefficient?'

'Not really. It helps me creatively because sometimes I hit writer's block, so just writing about the characters helps more than you'd think.'

Characters. She's never really spoken much about the characters or story, and you've never really asked out of respect, but you're curious now. The way things are going, she's probably more likely to actually answer you, too. She's being much more open than usual, which is nice. You glance at the clock, and your eyes widen when you see it's already almost midnight. Time really flew by.

"Anon-kun, are you going to get ready for sleep or text all night?" Miyuki calls from your room.

"Just a second, just a second!" You type your next response.

'What's the name of the main character, if you don't mind me asking?' You're overwhelmingly curious, so you decide to push this line of topic since, from the sound of things, she takes pride in what she does for fun.

There's a palpable pause between your last message and this one, and you wonder if you may have crossed the line, but your phone vibrates sure enough. '... His name is Nanashi.'

You can't contain your laughter despite it all. 'Is that really what you have him named as?' you ask.

'Yes. I bet you're laughing right now.' Right on the money. 'I couldn't think of anything, as I'm terrible at coming up with names.'

'Well, I've heard worse.' It's true, at least. 'Be sure not to stay up too late, you know?'

"Anon-kun~! I'm not going to go easy on you if you stay up this late!" For whatever reason, your mind immediately takes that in a sexual manner. You get up and start heading to bed when your phone goes off.

'I know. I guess I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight.'

'Goodnight.' You slide your phone into your pocket and open the door to your room, and you see Miyuki wrapped up in the blanket already.

"Took you long enough," she says.

"Could it be," you say slowly, "That you can no longer sleep without me?" The look of surprise on her face is rewarding.

"N-no!" She covers her head with the blanket. "I just don't want you to complain in the morning when we get up to exercise." Her logic is solid, but her delivery is questionable, especially with her hiding her face under the covers.

"Fine, fine," you say, exasperated. You get ready for bed then climb in. "Happy now?" you ask playfully.

"Yes I am," she says before putting her head on the pillow and promptly falling asleep.

You close your eyes and think about today. You feel like you've risen in Sora's eyes, which is nice. You think that, for tomorrow, you'll try and see if she wants to have lunch with everyone on the roof and see how that goes.

You close your eyes and roll over a bit, ready to fall asleep. You're mentally ready for tomorrow's hurdles, and then you have Sunday off to do whatever you want. The weekend after, you've got the festival, and then who knows what?

You feel heavy, and everything is dark all around you. When you open your eyes, you're standing in the doorway of the History classroom, and you feel as if you were about to take a seat, but there's no one in the classroom. You look around, but there's no sign of anyone. Curious, you walk in and sit down next to where Sora usually sits, out of habit,when you hear the door open.

When Sora walks in, you arch a brow. She sits down at her spot and starts writing immediately, not even saying anything to you. "Sora?" No response. She continues to write, and you take a peek to see she's writing, but no text is appearing in her notebook. It's as if she's writing with invisible ink, or she's not actually writing anything at all.

She turns to you, her eyes somewhat glazed over, but she doesn't say anything. It's as if she's looking through you.

For some reason, you have an overwhelming desire to write in her notebook for some reason. You reach for her pen, and you start to write something, but you don't know what to write, you realize. You pick the notebook up and look at it intently before writing, 'Several years ago, a young girl found herself in the hospital after a tragic accident. She was very sad, but she held on to the hope that things would get better, as they always did before.'

When you pull the pen away from the page, everything around you changes in a swirl of color, and you see a girl sitting up in a hospital bed, looking very upset. It looks... like Sora? You blink, and it really is Sora. You wonder what it all means, and then you realize something.

You're dreaming.

This means... this might be another dream where you have control. A lucid dream. When you piece that together, the book fades away in your hand, and the entire scene around you changes to that of a white, featureless room. You remember this place from before.

You focus on the image in your head: Sora and Roslyn, together, in front of you. Your head starts to hurt, but when you open your eyes, you see the two girls standing there, looking at you expectantly. "Anon-kun?" Roslyn asks.

"It worked," you breathe. "I realized I was dreaming, so I thought about having the two of you here. I wasn't sure if it'd work, but..."

"But it worked," Sora says, completing your thought. "I can see that."

"Well, what now?" Roslyn asks. "I mean, we're here..."

"Well, we should do what we did last time," you suggest. "Um... When you two wake up, text me 'The Narwhal bacons at midnight.'"

Sora looks at you blankly. "It's a unique phrase," Roslyn explains, "As a way to make sure you all had the same dream. It's not something that you'd say on accident in a text."

"I suppose that's logical," Sora says quietly. "But what do we do until then? We're all sleeping."

"If you don't want to be here," you say, "You can always get real sleep. I just wanted to really make sure that this would work, and you two were the ones I spoke to about it last time."

"Well," Roslyn says, "I'm definitely going to get some sleep. I'm more exhausted than usual." She smiles at you. "I'll see you in the morning, Anon-kun. Goodnight. You too, Sora."

You wave, and Roslyn vanishes, leaving you with Sora standing in front of you. She looks uneasy. "Everything alright?" you ask.

"Yeah," she says quietly. "Just fine."
