Warnings: none
Effects: a feeling of warm happiness.

This wasn't the first time he'd seen this, but it had still been quite some time. The familiar gardens of his family home, bright and green in summer sunlight, thin wisps of clouds striping the blue sky. It looked the same as it did every summer, but even now, he could tell it was from a time, removed from time. Nothing but a distant memory now, but somehow so familiar it surged in him feelings he'd long forgotten.

There was laughter in the air. A little girl, in ringlets and lace. A young woman, sitting to the side, with a parasol in hand. The sun obscured her face, but the single ringlet of strawberry blonde fell over her shoulder. He was so close to the ground, couldn't recall feeling so small in quite some time. More laughter. And there he was, a dog, lean and long haired, black as night. How he missed that dog. Sebastian.

And there was the little girl again, eyes bright like emeralds, a smile so wide it nearly split her face.

"Ciel, Ciel, come on!" she squealed, grasping his hand, pulling him along. And he ran with her. More laughter, and he recognized it as his own -- young, high, a sound he hadn't made in what must have been years. He could feel it in his chest, his throat, a light and dancing feeling.

And then, there was that splash of red against the green. A set of arms around them both, and over his beloved aunt's shoulder, the light lifted from his mother's face. She smiled, the parasol resting over her shoulder. Days like these had always been his favorites. All his most loved people, all in one place. The only person missing was--

"Good afternoon! I see I've been missing out on all the fun."

And Ciel turned, his eyes landing on the tall, dark-haired man, Sebastian already at his side, tail wagging. His mother's head turned, and he felt as though the smile on her face was the direct mirror of the one on his own.

"Father!"

The man smiled, knelt down, held his arms out.

And Ciel felt like he was running. Running...

[ And the light faded. The sunlight disappeared, and everything he was running into, running away from, melted into shadows and silence. When Ciel opened his eyes, the garden was far away, and all those faces and sounds were gone.

Ciel reached over and grasped his dreamberry, before sulking and turning it off. ]

[Lizzie had woken up in the night for her own reasons. She had been checking the dreamberry to see if her recent dream had gotten recorded again, luckily that wasn't the case. However she came across Ciel's...

Such a beautiful dream... No, not a dream, a memory. One that matched her own memories of how the Phantomhive manor used to be, full of laughs, happiness and light. She had considered talking, calling for him... But it wouldn't be nice to do that, he would know that she had seen it, maybe he would get angry at her.

But she couldn't leave it be. It's impossible.

And that's how she ended in front of Ciel's door, holding a pillow and thinking of a good excuse before she dared to knock. In the back of her mind she knew of how wrong this was in many aspects, but then again they were living together basically, that was far worse. And in a strange world like Somarium, away from her parents and the society they know, Lizzie can't help but put the people present there, Ciel, as a top priority over what would be proper and not.]
