During those times between sleep and consciousness, a thousand wishes are made, a thousand hearts break. This time of the day where realization struck you and dreams returns into ashes. Instances that make each single sensation come back to you.

This is the hardest part of a day, to finally wake up from your forged comfort and return to what they call 'reality'. It is nearly impossible for some to part with this devious moment and wishes for another five minutes of sleep, until waking up being groggy and refusing to see the planet other people share, a time to say 'goodbye for awhile' to your own world.

Because with every night comes the dawn . . .

Make me Real

By: ethereal-moonrain (formerly known as Li-yingfa1)

Prologue: Yume no Naka e; Into a dream

What is it you're looking for?Is it hard to find?Even though you search

In your bag and in your desk but can't find it . . .

Thousand sparkling lights all gathered to shone on her. They seem to be the most brilliant thing you could see, but once then however she was much brighter, than any dazzling stars in the vast sky.

A million people watching her, she was smiling but a false one. They were all anticipating maybe for her to open her mouth and bring out her astonishing voice, or maybe to some people they were anticipating even a single moment to see her smile again, a genuine nostalgic smile.

Grasping the microphone tighter she sang---

"I've got it all, but I feel so deprived
I go up, I come down and I'm emptier inside
Tell me what is this thing that I feel like I'm missing
And why can't I let go"

Louder, her voice going overboard but he couldn't hear it now. And that is why she was blinded, her light diminish. A dead star.

"There's gotta be more to life...
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
Cause the more that I'm...
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life
Well it's life, but I'm sure... there's gotta be more
Than wanting more

I've got the time and I'm wasting it slowly
Here in this moment

I'm half way out the door
Onto the next thing, I'm searching for something that's missing"

Amidst the crowd she stand out, bowed. The dazzling colored lights were gone, and nothing else makes her shine again. People go home, while she has none to return to. An enormous mansion couldn't be called as a home.

The name Li Syaoran faded on the Card Capturing days. So no more swords clashing to save her, he was her rival, friend, and lover? No more dashing Chinese boy.

And she was just another depressed normal girl in this world. Despite being a popular singer she was nothing more than a finished book, that was read a hundred times, liked by a thousand, then forgotten by a million. And no card could bring her light again.

Are you still going to search for it?Wouldn't you rather dance with me?Don't you want to try?

Going into a dream, into a dream?

She lied down, soft sleepy bed. How many times had she seen the ceiling? How many years had past? Was it six? No—seven long years.

She reached under her pillow, bringing out a rather old pink notebook. Unknown to many, she was a writer under the pseudonym of 'scarlet star'. Even hundreds of interview, magazine and many others didn't know this.

You don't even let yourself sleep,And don't smile any more.Groveling in the dirt, groveling in the dirt...

What in the world are you looking for?

She opens her mouth to read her unfinished story sitting quietly. "A princess combing her hair, the night was silent. Oblivious to everything that was happening, she was searching for a part that is missing somewhere in her self. Until a loud shout echoed throughout the palace and in one swift moment the princess was gone."

'Now, how can I continue this? Its just another crappy romantic story' she thought to herself, letting go of the notebook.

'It's not crappy, you just lack of feelings' a mysterious voice entered her mind.

"What the—who are you?"

"No need to be scared. I'm just here to help you." The voice said.

"Help me with what?"

"To face reality, to learn about putting emotions on your life. . . "

"This is getting crazy, I'm beginning to talk to myself."

"Yes, this is crazy, but I am here help you" Sakura holds her pen and notebook tightly and close her eyes.

'Why do I fear reality?'

When you stop searching,It's the same old story about what's to be found.Let's dance. Don't you want to try?

Going into a dream?

'Because reality hurts, but once you learn how to put feelings to the things you do, it became much more beautiful than any other story you found on books.'

'Why did everyone treated me differently from others? Why did he have to leave me? If only prayers can make my wish come true . . . ' A single tear fell from her eyes and as soon the tear reached her hand her body was glowing, and from there she disappear . . .

What is it you're looking for?Are you still going to search for it?Don't you want to try?

Going into a dream, into a dream?
