✩ Starfish & Kelly ✩

{Kelly}
Kelly looked over at his love blissfully, her beautiful eyes shimmering from the light of the movie. A glint of blue from Dory flashed in her eyes, and Kelly smiled, knowing he had finally found the one bean he was destined to be with. Her eyes were starting to become heavy, and could tell she was sleepy. He leaned back, letting her recline farther for a comfortable position.

[sure! maybe star waking up and walking to the window...?]

[okii c:]

Star woke up slowly, deliciously, like the sun rising over the horizon. She stretched, every part of her feeling numb from having curled up in the same position for so long. Kelly was gone; for a split second panic overtook her before her rational mind kicked in. /He probably just went to do something. He wouldn't just leave, would he...?/ The thought spurred her off the couch and to the kitchen. He wasn't there either. Had he gone home? He hadn't left a note...

{Kelly}
Kelly worked vigorously, trying to make everything perfect. Just as he filled up the bird bath with water as a finishing touch, he saw a flash of movement in the kitchen. "Star!" He called, trying to get her to look outside.

[inactive20000009]

Star looked around in surprise as she heard her name called; Kelly. Where was he...? Her gaze fixed on the window, the curtains drawn loosely. /Is he... outside?/

Carefully, she navigated over to the window and peeked outside.

/ohmygod/

For a second she felt herself transported back to her younger self's world; to one of the few happy memories of her youth, back when she had sang to herself while digging in her little garden, in tune with the birds sipping from the birdbath. Except Kelly was there, so it couldn't be just a dream. Could it?

She felt her heart beat fast and before she knew it--

/i need to
be there/

{Kelly}
Kelly saw Starfish look up, and realized how deep a cord he had struck when he saw the look on her face. He suddenly felt bad, wanting to just surprise her with a wonderful view from the kitchen; but he had done far more.

[inactive20000009]

Starfish stumbled slightly, leaning heavily on the window and then abruptly jerked the curtains shut, closing her eyes for a second. Suddenly, the cottage seemed tiny and confining; memories, long suppressed, rushed by her ears like she was being swallowed whole. Somehow, blindly, she made her way to the door, fumbling with the doorknob, running out the back door onto the porch and

the wind on her face

like something from another world

she could have cried.

{Kelly}
Out of no where, Starfish stumbled out the back door. Kelly was speechless. She was outside. She was smiling for a moment, but suddenly became deathly pale. She started swaying, and Kelly sprinted across the yard, catching Starfish just as she crumpled to the ground lifelessly. He scooped her up, quickly carrying her inside and closing the door.

[inactive20000009]

Star felt her eyes flutter and breathed fast, knowing she should take deep breaths, but her chest seemed to be blocked by pure panic. She felt nothing, heard nothing, except for the roaring in her ears, as if she was falling backwards from some incredible height and her life was rushing away before her very eyes.
