Chapter 4:
A thousand years later, after the Stars Series:
A girl with medium length blonde hair shoots up from her bed in a cold sweat. "Woah, what was that?"she whispers.
"Altair, darling, breakfast is on the table!" A feminine voice called from outside the girl's door.
"Alright mama, I'll be down in a minute!" Altair replied. She slowly gets up from her bed. "What the heck could that dream have meant?" she asks herself curiously, pulling a powder blue silk robe over her.
"Get back here Anthony!" a high-pitched voice could be heard screaming from downstairs.
"You'll never catch me slow-poke!" Anthony yelled back.
"Mama!!!!!!" the high-pitched voice squeeked. "Anthony called me a slow-poke!" it screeched again.
"Anthony, apologize at once to Andrea!" Mrs. Ameerah could be heard scolding.
Altair shook her haid and laughed slightly. Pulling her blonde hair into a loose braid she opens her door to see Andrea zoom past her.
"Sorry Altair!" Andrea calls out.
"It's alright Andrea, what did Anthony do this time?" Altair asks. She bends down and hugs Andrea.
"Well, first he took my dolly, and then he ripped her arm off. Then mama sewed her arm back on, but he stole Dandy Dolly again!" Andrea says, trying to catch her breath.
"I see, well, Anthony's gonna get it if he ever takes Dandy Dolly again." Altair replies, trying to hold back her laugh. Andrea nods her head and runs down the stairs. Slowly, Altair gets up from her crouched position and walks silently down the stairs.
"Morning sweety." Mrs. Ameerah says as Altair takes her seat.
"Morning pumpkin." Mr. Ameerah states from behind the newspaper.
"Morning mama, morning daddy." Altair replies, taking a bite out of her toast.
"Anthony! Get in here! It's time for breakfast!" Mrs. Ameerah yells.
"Coming mom!" Anthony screams back. Quickly taking his seat he eats his food in a rush.
"Where's the fire Anthony?" Altair asks jokingly.
Anthony sticks out his tongue. "I'm supposed to be at basketball practice in an hour!" he replies cooly.
"An hour, that's a while. You still have plenty of time." The fifteen year old teases. "And, I didn't know basketball was such a big thing at age eight." She adds.
"Appearantly, it is to your brother." Mrs. Ameerah states as she places a plate full of scrambled eggs, bacon, and pancakes in front of Altair.
"Thanks mama." Altair says with a smile. "Well, I mean, I wouldn't know, I'm a girl." She adds jokingly. "Oh well. So, Anthony, when's your next game?" she asks.
"Next Saturday." Anthony replies quickly. He finishes off his bacon and quickly gulps down his orange juice.
"Mama, where's Dandy Dolly?" Andrea asks curiously.
"I found a hole in her side. I'll have her patched up by this afternoon. I'll even make a new dress for her." Mrs. Ameerah replies with a smile.
"Thankies mama!" Andrea says gratefully.
"Altair darling, are you ok? You don't seem yourself today." Mrs. Ameerah asks curiously.
"Yeah mama, I'm fine." Altair replies. "May I be excused?" she asks after finishing her eggs.
"Of course darling." Mrs. Ameerah answers.
"Thanks." Altair says as she stands up. She takes her plate to the sink and cleans it off. "I'll be right back down." She says as she runs up the stairs. She slips on some jeans and a powder blue tank top. While putting on her make-up she starts wondering about the dream again. She shakes her head. "Maybe I can figure it out over hot cocoa." She mutters. Slipping some tennis shoes on, she runs down the stairs quickly. "Bye mama! Bye Daddy! I'll be back later!" she calls out as she rushes through the door.
"Ameerah-san!" A friendly voice calls from behind Altair.
"Oh, hey Mai-san." Altair replies with an annoyed tone of voice.
"What's wrong?"the girls asks curiously.
"Nothing Mai-san, I'll see you at school on Monday." Altair replies shortly, not looking at the girl. ~Please don't try to continue the conversation any further with me, Tanya.~ she thinks to herself.
"Are you sure Ameerah-san?" Tanya asks. "Well, if you say so." She adds. She starts to walk away. Turning around quickly she waves her hand. "Bye Ameerah-san!" she calls out and starts walking the other direction again.
"Thank goodness." Altair sighs. She walks into a small café and sits in a booth near the window.
"Altair-chan, you don't look too well. Did you sleep peacefully last night?" a voice asks, getting closer.
"No, not really, Usagi-chan." Altair replies shortly.
"That's too bad." The odango haired blonde states as she sits across from Altair. "What was the matter? Don't tell me Andrea and Anthony are at it again. . . ." she asks.
"Well, yes, but that wasn't the reason." Altair replies quietly.
"Well what was it? Do you mind telling me?" Usagi asks curiously.
"I had a horrible dream." Altair replies.
"Do you mind telling me about it?" Usagi asks, wanting to know if she could comfort her.
"What would you girls like?" the waitress asks as she comes up.
"Hot cocoa please." Altair says with a slight smile.
"A banana split, with chocolate syrup and nuts and pinapple sauce, and a chocolate malt to go with it, please!" Usagi replied cheerfully. The waitress nodded and left. A few minutes later, breaking the silence she gave the girls' their orders.
"Yum…. So… **slurp** would you mind letting me know about your **gulp** dream now? If not that'll be ok with **slurp** me." Usagi says, in between bites and slurps.
Altair giggles slightly at Usagi. "Alright Usagi-chan." She says with a smile. She then explains the whole dream.
"And then?" Usagi asks.
"And then everyone was toppled by a wave and I woke up as I saw everyone laying there dead." Altair replies.
Usagi nods her head slowly. ~How could she know about Queen Serenity? This may mean something important.~ she thinks to herself. "What were the girls' names that died in your dream ,again?" she asks.
"I. . . I can't remember." Altair replies.
"It's ok, I understand." Usagi says quickly, not wanting to make Altair feel guilty. She then finishes her malt. "Well, I'm sorry to say this, but I have to go. I promised the girls that I'd meet them at the temple for study session. I promised not to be late this time. I'll talk to you later Altair-chan." She adds with a slight sigh.
"Usagi-chan, can I come with you?" Altair asks curiously, not wanting to spend the rest of her afternoon alone. "Maybe Rei-san could do a fire reading on my dream, or something like that." She adds quickly, her mind trying to think of more excuses.
"Sure." Usagi replies with a smile. "We just gotta hurry before I'm late, or Rei-chan will kill me!" she adds. With that she lays enough yen on the table to pay the bill, grabs Altair's arm and rushes out of the the café. In about ten minutes they reached the temple.
