-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Sharon sighed softly to herself as she glanced at her clock. Two in

the morning. Halloween was pretty much over, and there were certainly

no more people who would be coming for candy. She looked out the

window one time, to be absolutely sure there were no more kids, and

then shut off the outdoor light.

"Time for bed," she whispered aloud.

She sighed deeply and closed her eyes, reminiscing. 'If Kerri were

here, she'd come and hold me tonight,' Sharon thought to herself.

Kerri was Sharon's close friend and roommate for four years. They were

inseparable. Those few who knew them could easily mistake them for

sisters. But there was more to their relationship than they told

everyone else.

Kerri was always Sharon's one and only lover...

A cold breeze whipped over the back of Sharon's neck. She at first

curled her jacket closer around her, but it wasn't enough to keep her

warm. She decided it was time to get into her nightgown and go to

sleep.

Sharon set to work turning out all the lights. Since Kerri left,

Sharon usually left all the lights on at night. She didn't feel safe

when Kerri wasn't around. As Sharon turned out the lights in the

kitchen, she paused and looked at the moon. It was so beautiful -

round, white and bright. It seemed to glow more than usual.

'Kerri would have liked to see this,' Sharon lamented. Kerri loved the

night, unlike most people who feared it. Kerri had always told Sharon

that the night was a time of calm and of wonderful dreams, and she made

Sharon feel safe. That was one of the reasons Sharon loved Kerri so

much. Kerri gave Sharon a safe place where she could be who she wanted

to be.

But that was the past. Now Kerri was gone, and Sharon was alone.

Although no one was watching, Sharon choked back her tears as she

departed the now-dark kitchen...

------

Sharon's clothes had been neatly placed into the hamper. The bathroom

was thick with steam. Sharon stood naked under the shower head,

closing her eyes and feeling the comfortably hot water flow over her

body. She leaned her head back and rinsed the shampoo out of her long

dark brown hair.

She opened her eyes and watched the white foam begin to flow on the

ground around her feet and into the drain. Before long, the foam

dissipated leaving just the warm water flowing all over her olive skin.

Sharon listened to the sound of the running water and could feel her

mind beginning to drift. She let out a deep sigh...

...and let it happen...

------

Two women curled up together in the dark along the riverbank. The

only light came from the moon reflected in the running stream. The

only sounds were the running water and the soft voices of the

women.

"Kerri..." Sharon whispered. "I'm scared."

"That's okay, my dear," Kerri replied, tenderly stroking Sharon's

temple. "It's alright to be scared. We are alone here, after

all. The moon is our only witness."

"That's not helping," Sharon said, with a small nervous giggle.

"But also remember that I have been here before," Kerri reassured

her love. "And I'm going to do everything I can to make sure you

can be at peace." She tipped Sharon's chin up and looked into her

walnut shaped brown eyes. "No harm can come to you here, my

Hoshiko."

Sharon blushed. She always felt very warm when Kerri used her

birth name. "I know, honey," Sharon said, looking up into Kerri's

deep grey eyes. "But I can't help my nerves. I'm not used to it

being so dark..."

Kerri gave a soft, sweet laugh. Then she rolled around so she was

behind Sharon. She wrapped her long arms around Sharon's round

body and brought her down. Soon the two were laying, cuddled up

like a pair of spoons, right along the riverbank.

"Can you hear the sound of the river?" Kerri whispered to Sharon.

A soft, flowing sound. "Yes," Sharon whispered back. "I hear

it."

"Listen to the river, my love," Kerri said. "The water's gentle

rush through the stream. Very relaxing. It just flows... flows

along the ground... drifts away under the watch of the moon.

Feel it as you listen, my love... listen and feel..."

"Drifty," Sharon heard herself say. Then Kerri's voice continued.

Her beautiful, sweet voice. Listen and feel, her voice told her.

Sharon did so.

"The water flows on and on," Kerri whispered. "You feel it...

you feel it happening to you. You feel your concerns slip away

like water was washing them away... washing you away... flowing

over you... and with you..."

This really was relaxing... she could feel the drift, the flow of

the river... washing away her troubles and cares, and almost...

almost wash her away, too... such a wonderful feeling... Sharon

wanted it to happen... but she didn't want to flow... away from

her Kerri...

"Oh darling... you'll be safe... you'll always be safe... I am

watching over you... just as the moon watches over the river...

no harm shall came to you..."

Sharon moaned softly. It was so true. Kerri was her moon,

guiding her along. She felt the light of Kerri's love. Another

moan... and a heat from deep within. Passion blossomed like a

flower inside of Sharon as she realized... how wet she was... soft

mewls like bubbles in the river as Sharon flowed, along with

Kerri, to Kerri's pull... safe, warm, wet and so close to each

other...

A beautiful dream in the darkness...

And the river flowed...

------

Sharon's eyes fluttered open again. They were swollen and full of

tears. The water had become lukewarm. She slowly withdrew her hand

from her sex and turned off the shower. She stepped out and wrapped a

pink towel around herself. She paused and wiped the steam off the

mirror so she could look at herself.

A pair of sad walnut shaped brown eyes gazed back at Sharon. She could

hear Kerri's voice so clearly every so often... from the many times she

had drifted for Kerri. But it was always just a dream... no, a phantom

of the past. Dreams were beautiful and alive. Kerri had taught her

that.

But Sharon hadn't had any dreams. Just reveries.

`Oh Kerri,' Sharon whispered to her reflection. 'Why did you leave

me?'

------

Sharon was ready for bed. Her long hair was done up in two ponytails.

She wore a long red flannel nightgown to keep the cold out, and as

always, her bedtime socks - fluffy yellow ones with green colored toes.

She never felt particularly sexy in this get-up, but Kerri always

thought Sharon was most beautiful when she was about to go to sleep for

the night.

Kerri.

Sharon looked up at the moon again. Kerri had changed her life.

Before Kerri, Sharon was so lost, trying to find her place in the

world. Then along came Kerri and her beautiful darkness. Sharon felt

so at home in the world Kerri lived in. It was a land of wondrous

dreams, dreams of love, of life, of warmth. The "real" world felt so

bleak in comparison.

Kerri used to say that she felt the most alive in dreams...

------

The moon shone down on the two women in the sleeping bag. The

wind was steady but gentle. No sound but the occasional chirp and

the soft sound of the wind. The lake in the distance shimmered

with moonlight.

Sharon curled her arms around Kerri and whined.

"What's wrong, lover?" Kerri asked.

"Mmmmmmmm," Sharon moaned and looked at Kerri through half closed

eyes. "I really want to play, but I'm so tired... I don't wanna

sleep..."

Kerri laughed another warm laugh. "What do you think of dreams,

Sharon?"

"Dreams?" Sharon whimpered. "They're just... just weird stuff

you see while you sleep..."

"Oh, child," Kerri chuckled and began to stroke Sharon's temple.

"Trying to make sense of everything only takes the beauty out of

it. Science has been really bad to dreams."

Sharon purred when she felt fingers slide down her tummy.

Kerri went on. "Dreams are the realm of your feelings - your true

feelings, not bogged down by things like order and 'sense'."

"You think... order and sense are bad?" Sharon whispered, trying

very hard to listen.

"No, I don't think they're bad," Kerri said with a sigh. "It's

true that humanity wouldn't have progressed and improved this much

without all that order and sense. But sometimes... I just wonder

if it's worth it."

Sharon touched Kerri's hand with hers, and looked up at her. She

could understand what Kerri was saying... but her mind was slowly

giving in to the desire to rest...

Kerri kissed Sharon's nose and then looked skyward. "We're

trying so hard to make everything perfect that we're missing the

beauty of the world the way it is. People don't stop to smell

the flowers or to listen to the wind blow or to watch a sunset

anymore. And they're missing... they're missing a lot."

Sharon smiled. She felt like that a lot too. She moaned softly

and nuzzled Kerri's shoulder, hoping she would know that she

understood.

"That's why I love dreams," Kerri continued. "Things... feel

right in dreams. They may not make sense, but they feel right.

And that's really important. Maybe the most important thing of

all. I love you dearly, my Hoshiko, and those feelings flow

through me so freely when I am asleep. And deep down, I know you

feel the same way too."

'Oh yes,' thought Sharon. 'Oh yes... I am so proud to be part of

your dreams. I want to learn more about dreams. Show me, Kerri.

I love you. I love you.'

"Sometimes, child," Kerri whispered in a hush. "I feel like I

am most alive when I am dreaming..." She chuckled softly, and

turned to Sharon. "Or am I just nutty?"

Sharon was asleep, purring ever so quietly and contentedly.

Kerri kissed her gently on the lips. "I love you, my star

child," she said. And then drifted away herself...

------

Sharon cried quietly. That was such a long time ago... but it's over

now. 'I don't even dream of Kerri. What's wrong with me?' She got up

from the bed and eyed the clock. 3:43. She'd never wake up on time

tomorrow.

But still, Sharon was restless. She opened the door to the balcony and

stepped out. Maybe the night air would help her rest and sleep. Maybe

even dream.

The wind was brisk and at times nipped at Sharon's face. She undid her

ponytails and let her hair fall and flow along with the wind, and

looked to the sky. The moon was still glowing bright, and the stars

sparkled. Down below, she could see the waning city lights.

Her eyes were drawn to the moon, and helplessly her thoughts turned to

Kerri. So beautiful and bright, just like the moon. Sharon wished the

moon could shine here forever.

Then, all of a sudden... a new thought entered her mind.

If the moon were to shine here forever... what about the rest of the

world? They'd never get to see it...

------

The moon reflected beautifully upon the rolling ocean. Two women

lay alongside each other, glancing at the ocean and at each other.

Kerri's normally bright smile, though, had now faded a bit. "Are

you sure this is what you want?" she asked.

"I know it seems to be moving really fast," Sharon said. "But...

I really feel so connected with you. You're like... like... a

soft light in the darkness."

Kerri blushed just a little. "Why, thank you, dear," she replied.

"But still... being together all the time..."

"Is it that you think we'll get sick of each other?" Sharon

asked. "I understand completely if that's what you're concerned

about..."

"No, not that," Kerri shook her head. "I don't think I could

ever get sick of you. I am a little worried, though, that you'll

get used to me. Come to rely on me... and if something were to

happen... I'd be really worried."

Kerri's smile was gone now. This was quite a departure from the

Kerri that Sharon had come to know. Sharon could feel something

in herself start to get frightened. She scurried closer to

Kerri. Tried to think of something to say to comfort her.

"I need you."

That slipped out. Sharon knew that wouldn't help Kerri at all.

She almost covered her mouth, but she knew it was pointless. The

words were out in the open now. Kerri turned to Sharon and

looked deep in her eyes.

And suddenly it seemed like a dam sprung open, as Kerri's eyes

seemed to melt. Her arms wrapped around Sharon's body, and

pulled her close. Fingers stroked Sharon's hair. Her body was

rocked back and forth.

"I understand. And I will protect you. You will always be safe

from harm when you're with me... I promise."

Sharon thought that sounded like a really big promise, but

when she looked up into Kerri's eyes, she could see something new

there. Something she hadn't seen before.

And Sharon believed.

Kerri's fingers stroked Sharon's back in a circle, and she

began to whisper. "You can relax here with me, my Hoshiko.

You're safe... and you can feel totally relaxed and warm..."

All tension left Sharon's body, and she felt body and mind

begin to surrender themselves to the warmth that Kerri offered...

------

"Kerri."

Sharon spoke the name of her loved one aloud.

"Kerri, I miss you..." She gazed into the sky. "I know you must be

somewhere, in a beautiful dream right now. But... I don't know what

else to do.

"I truly do love you, but I think I came to need you too much... just

like you were always worried I would do. And maybe that is why I miss

you so bad." Her voice began to break. "Kerri, I'm sorry. I didn't

mean for you to make that promise. I was foolish to think I could keep

you forever."

Sharon wiped her eyes. "And now you're gone... and I'll never get the

chance to tell you how sorry I am. And how much I really love you.

Your intensity... how deep your feelings go... I love that. And I love

your strength, not just in trying to keep me safe... but your strength

in who you are. I love that too. There are... so many things to love

about you, Kerri. So much that... maybe I was wrong to want to keep

you forever...

"Or maybe I actually kept you away." A deep sigh. "I'll never know.

But there's just one thing I want to know. Why... why don't I dream

about you? I truly do love you... but all my dreams are memories. Why

can't I see you in my dreams?"

Sharon didn't expect an answer. So she was more than shocked when she

got one...

"Because you miss me so much," a warm, familiar voice answered.

"You're focusing on what you lost. That is why you only dream of

memories."

"Who's there?" Sharon gasped, a chill running through her spine. She

turned towards the bedroom where the voice came from.

And saw a figure... laying in her bed.

Sharon hastily stepped in and closed the door behind her. Looked at

the person laying beneath her covers. Paused. Then gasped again in

total shock. The pale skin, the moussy brown hair, but most of all the

deep grey eyes. It could only be...

"Kerri!" Sharon gasped. "But I thought you were..."

She was cut short as Kerri put her finger to her lips. Sharon stopped

talking. Then Kerri smiled. "Come sit by me, child."

In mind, Sharon was uneasy, but her body slid upon the bed and beside

Kerri. A shudder went through Sharon's body. She could never resist

direct commands from Kerri... but something was different this time.

Still, it was definitely Kerri. Sharon's heart told her it was Kerri

for sure.

"I never left you, darling, I was always here. You missed me so

intensely that you didn't notice. That is okay. Those feelings are

natural, and you were right to let them flow."

Kerri lifted up the covers and Sharon slipped underneath them. She

felt so much warmer now. She nuzzled Kerri's cheek and purred softly,

even as tears rolled down her face.

"Did you... did you hear what I said, Kerri?"

Kerri's fingertips grazed across Sharon's temple, and she blew softly

into her ear. The way the air flowed from Kerri's mouth into Sharon's

ear sounded almost like... flowing water... Sharon immediately felt herself

begin to flow and drift.

"I did, Sharon... I did. But Sharon, my love, please... you don't

ever have to apologize for expressing your feelings. I am glad that

you told me how you felt."

Fingers caressing Sharon's shoulders. Feeling so snug. "But that

promise... that promise you made..."

"I still abide by it, child. Like I said... I never left. It was very

hard not to be able to be there for you. I wanted to hold you, and to

take your hurt away... but your feelings have to flow, my love."

Sharon felt a hand slip underneath her nightgown and whimpered. The

other hand remained on her temple and helped her to continue to drift.

"They were terrible feelings, Kerri... terrible..." More tears came

down her cheeks.

"I know," Kerri whispered, pressing Sharon closer. "But the bad

feelings have to be treasured, along with the good. Because we would

never truly enjoy pleasure if we never experience pain. Close your

eyes."

Sharon's eyes fluttered shut, and she knew she wouldn't open them again

unless she was told to. She felt fingers trace her inner thighs, and

her physical excitement stirred. "Did you... know you were going to

leave, Kerri? Even back then? Mmmm..."

Kerri laughed her beautiful laugh and kiss-nuzzled the top of Sharon's

head. "So full of questions. So full of wonder. That's one of the

reasons why I loved you from the start... dear Hoshiko."

"Mmmmmm... didn't... know you loved me back then..." Sharon's passion

heightened as Kerri's knowledgable fingers slid down and caressed

Sharon's lips. She knew just where and how to touch to bring her loved

one to a boil.

"Oh yes. From the moment I looked into your eyes, I knew. Your pure

heart, your golden soul... I could see it all. So much potential in

you... I wanted to know you and show you what you could be. Are you

down deep, baby?"

"Mmmmmmhmmmmm," Sharon mewled. She was flowing like a river now, with

Kerri as her guide. Just the way it always was. But not quite.

Something had changed. "You seem... different... Kerri..."

"I know," Kerri whispered. "I've shed more of my veils. You can feel

more of who I truly am, child." The hand at Sharon's temple moved down

to her shoulders, pressing her back closer in. She nuzzled Sharon's

head and maneuvered her other hand to bare more of Sharon to her, to

deepen her arousal.

Sharon helplessly cried out as Kerri's digits danced deeper within.

"I... I... I don't understand..."

"It's okay. You couldn't understand now." Kerri's voice began to

change as she spoke. It wasn't anything that Sharon could

distinguish... but it did change. "You will understand, though. Very

soon."

Sharon's legs slid apart of their own volition, just ever so slightly

to allow Kerri's fingers more room to work their magic. But despite

all that, she felt the same strange chill run through her when she

heard Kerri's voice change. "Very soon?"

"Yes. I am taking you home, star child."

When Kerri said that, Sharon felt both fear, joy and excitement. Most

of all, joy. She wanted to ask where home was... but somehow deep

inside, she knew. No questions necessary. Her body melted, both with

the thrill of going home and the pleasure that Kerri's fingers

provided.

"Kerri..." Sharon whimpered. "I'm scared."

"That's okay, my dear," Kerri replied, kissing Sharon tenderly on the

cheek. "It's alright to be scared. But I've been there before. And

I will be there now, and for always, with you, my Hoshiko."

Sharon moaned happily. Her true name didn't make her feel sad anymore.

She saw visions flash through her head. Visions of Kerri. So much

more than a lover... yes. Kerri was a beautiful dream... of love, and

pleasure, and moonlight. And Sharon was... something wonderful, too.

She didn't know what. But Kerri did, and wanted to show her.

"It's time to go deeper than you've ever been, star child," Kerri

whispered. "When you come, you'll be there. It will be a warm and

happy place and all your questions will be answered. And I will be

there with you. No turning back now. Are you ready?"

"Yessss..." Sharon said through non stop moans. The intensity of her

pleasure grew immensely. Warmth, wetness, most of all love. Her mind

gave out, surrendering to the water that burned like a flame. She

couldn't think anymore, just feel. Pleasure, joy, love, warmth.

Kerri's finger brushed over that deepest magic spot inside Sharon. Her

back arched and she yelped what she thought was "I love you" but came

out as a breathy growl. A few more strokes there and Sharon was ready

to spill over the edge. A nibble on the ear was all it took.

Sharon's cry of pure joy reverbated throughout the inner recesses of

her heart, and she would remember it forever...

------

The moon shone high in the sky and reflected upon the boundless

sea. The cruise boat provided its own light, though. A woman

stood on the docks, alone.

Sharon slumped her body over the guard rails and looked up at the

sky. The moon was beautiful tonight. It took her mind off the

utterly boring cruise someone had convinced her to go on. A lot

of times, when Sharon was down, she would look at the moon and

feel better.

"Dull day?" a voice beside her asked.

Sharon turned and looked eye to eye at the most beautiful woman

she'd ever seen. She had shoulder length black hair and a

roundish kind face. Her skin, while pale, complemented her

willowiness perfectly, and her body was curvy in the right places.

"Y-yes... very," Sharon stammered. She suddenly blushed when she

realized she was gushing this way over a woman. Although she had

some experiences with women before, Sharon never really considered

herself a lesbian. But something about this woman was just...

spellbinding.

"My name is Kerri," the woman said, moving in just a bit closer.

"What's yours?"

"Sharon..." she replied, and then looked away. If she stared too

long... what would Kerri think? It crossed her mind that Kerri

might not mind at all, but she put that silly wishful thought out

of her head.

"Sharon, hmm? That's a nice name," Kerri said.

"Well... my real name is Hoshiko," Sharon blurted. "But... no one

calls me that anymore." Why did she say that? She never told

anyone that before. She felt a little bit of sadness come over

her and she looked out into the sea.

"That's a beautiful name," Kerri said with a smile. "Why does it

make you sad to think about it?"

"I... don't know why..." Sharon said, glancing at Kerri. Then

she sighed. "I'm sorry, just... please just call me Sharon."

"You don't have to be sorry. It's OK," Kerri said. "Sharon is

a perfectly nice name for a good looking lady. But you seem kind

of down. If you want to talk... I can listen."

Sharon blushed and looked at Kerri. No one had ever called her

good looking before. Being shorter and plumper than average,

she didn't get much compliments. But Sharon couldn't help but

smile. She had no reason to doubt Kerri.

"Well, tell me... why do people like these cruises? They pay

the people a bunch of money and then do nothing."

"Hey, I've spent some of my most quality time doing nothing,"

Kerri said with a wink.

"I think I know what you mean," Sharon agreed. "But the

stuff they do on cruises is just... silly. Cheap magic shows,

overpriced food, silly party soirees. I just never understood

what people see in those things." She then blushed again.

She was never so frank with anyone before.

But Kerri just laughed. Not a derisive laugh... a beautiful

laugh, lilting, free and happy. "Oh, my, I do know what

you mean. Those kind of things do nothing for me. I'd

much rather be all cuddled up with a warm body under the

moon and stars..."

Sharon knew she was turning red now. She just pictured

herself as the warm body. She closed her eyes for a moment

and touched her cheek. "That sounds nice, but I couldn't

do something like that. I'm so scared of the night..."

"Scared of the night?" Kerri said with a gasp. "Sharon,

Sharon, Sharon... we need to keep in touch. Night time is

a marvelous time. I really want to show you just how

nice it can be."

Sharon stammered aloud and lowered her head. This conversation

was becoming so strange, but she liked the direction it was

taking. Something about Kerri... made her feel like she could

be more open.

"In the meantime," Kerri went on, "there's something I can

do to help your boredom."

"What's... that?" Sharon said, making an effort to look at

Kerri in the eyes.

"You can come with me to my cabin," Kerri said, matter of factly

like it was something everyday. "And you can cuddle up with

me. It's a nice way to pass the time and I want to show you

how good it can be."

"What?!" Sharon gasped. "I... uhm... I..."

"Clothes on. No pressure," Kerri said. "Just friendly hugs.

I think you might like it. Very warm and cozy."

'I can't believe this is happening to me,' Sharon thought.

'I've gone from perfect strangers to wanting to go to her

cabin and cuddle... I really shouldn't be doing this.'

"I don't know..." Sharon started.

"Well... what does your feelings tell you?" Kerri said,

smiling softly while gazing into Sharon's eyes. Sharon

felt so strange when she looked into Kerri's eyes. They

were so deep and grey and...

"I... would really like to try..." Sharon said without

thinking.

"Okay then," Kerri said with a wink. "Let's go!" She started off

to her cabin, and Sharon just stood there for a moment, blinking,

before she decided to just follow Kerri and go with her feelings.

'Who knows... something just might happen out of this...'

------

EPILOGUE

Darian Thompson rang the doorbell again. "Morning, Ms. Orikaza! I

have the paper..."

Darian was the paperboy along the posh part of town. He didn't

normally make deliveries like this to anyone else, but he had kind of a

soft spot for Sharon Orikaza since her good friend passed away a few

months ago. Ms. Orikaza got more quiet and a lot more sad, and

sometimes Darian just wanted to make sure she was okay when he

delivered the paper.

But today she wasn't answering. It was unusual... while she didn't

work, she usually never slept in on a Wednesday. 'Maybe she stayed up

late giving out Halloween candy,' Darian thought to himself. But he

had a creepy feeling when he rang the doorbell again and still got no

answer.

Darian checked the doorknob... and found it open. He felt chills.

'Maybe something... happened.'

Darian went inside. "Ms. Orikaza! Sorry to come in, but the door was

open... it's Darian? The paperboy?" He waited, but no answer. He

suddenly became very nervous. He crept up the stairs to see if she was

still in bed. She was usually okay with him coming in to deliver the

paper, and was always very friendly with him.

The bedroom door was open, too. He peeked into Ms. Orikaza's bedroom

to make sure he didn't walk in on anything. Nothing. He crept in a

bit more, and saw her laying in her bed.

"Ms. Orikaza?"

He moved in closer, very slowly. It looked like she was sleeping - her

body was resting on its side. But there was no perceptible movement.

Darian shook as he unsteadily reached out and shook the woman very

gently. He rolled her over on her back.

Ms. Orikaza's eyes were closed. And she was smiling. But not

apparently breathing. Darian began to break out into a sweat as he

checked her pulse... Nothing! He didn't see any bloodstains or signs

that someone broke in or anything.

"Oh my God," he stammered. "Oh my..."

He immediately grabbed the phone and called 911. "Hello? Yeah... um,

send an ambulance p-please to 1995 Calle Escalon... Um, I'm the

paperboy and I usually check up on this lady to see if she's okay,

but... I tried ringing on her doorbell many times... and then I tried

the door and it was open..." Darian tried to get control of himself.

"My God! She's in bed here and she's... I think she's..."

Darian paused, and looked at Ms. Orikaza's face. Sharon's. The way

she looked, especially with the smile on her face... 'Dead' didn't seem

like an appropriate word. "Just send an ambulance," Darian said to the

operator and then hung up.

'Not an appropriate word at all...' Darian thought to himself as he

looked at her. 'She looks more like... an angel, dreaming...'
