"Dreaming" by reiqua
"Ooh - Shiny!” Alisia pounced excitedly on the glinting object beside the footpath that had caught her eye. When she straightened up she was holding a bottle of blue sand. “Look at how the light reflects off the glass!” she enthused, “it’s so pretty - I'm gonna add it to my collection!” Darza, her brother, was somewhat less than enthusiastic about this prospect. In fact, the vast majority of people failed to quite share Alisia’s fascination with her collection of shinies. Even her best friend Bela had been known to complain about sitting and looking at shinies for hours on end. Darza pointed this out to his sister. “Seriously,” Alisia complained, “I don't know what Bela’s problem is! It’s not like my shinies smell that bad!” Darza grinned at her. “Ahh, but we can fix that!” Alisia rolled her eyes at him and gave him a playful shove that set him off balance. The red Kau lost his footing and began to stagger around in an overly dramatic fashion, apparently trying to regain his balance. Alisia smiled as she watched his antics. Her brother could be such a clown! But then, something bright caught her eye. And it was hurtling right towards her brother at breakneck speed. “Darza!” she screamed in fear, and dove forwards to pull him out of the way. And not a moment too soon.
