[ " 'Cause I'm in a field of dandelions... " ] [ 005. ❝I really am home❞ . Whispermelody SRP ] --- [ Hello hello! ] [ Welcome to my first SRP w/ Whispermelody <3 ] [ This one's about how, whenever Whispermelody has a peaceful dream, it's always in the same place, and meets with her dead sibling. ^^ ] [ Enjoy! ] --- *Whispermelody's body ached, eyes blinking slowly open. She sighed, grass gently blowing against their face.* "Urgh..." *They raised their head slowly, looking around, as she yawned. A strong, flowery scent was present. It was surprising, but Whispermelody was used to it. They grinned, realizing she was back in their favorite place. As she got to her paws, they were looking for something- or some/one/- specific.* "Bird?" *They said quietly, wind blowing gently against her. They sighed when they got no response, padding over to the only tree in the field- a gigantic oak, towering above her. They sighed, bunching their muscles, and sprung high up, grappling the tree with her claws. As they climbed higher, they kept looking for who they called 'Bird'- her brother.* "Baby Bird, where are you?" *A cat, orange, black, and white in color, similar to her coat, appeared in the distance, a warm smile on his face.* "Hi, Little Tune." *She bolted down the tree, rubbing against him, a big grin on their face.* "Baby Bird, you're back!" *They cried, tail swishing happily. When Pelicankit, her brother, backed away, they gave him a quizzical look. He drew in a breath.* "Little Tune, listen. This is important, alright?" *His eyes shimmered sadly, the smile fading from his face.* "This is just a dream. /I'm/ not real. I know you know that, but... it's time for you to move on, alright?" *His eyes glittered sadly as he sighed.* "You need to learn how to not depend on your dreams. You need to live in the real world. /That/ is your home. Live in it while you have the chance-" *She tried to hold back tears, but they came flowing out.* "I'm sorry, brother, but this /is/ my home. I'm HOME!" *They declared, burying her face in their brother's fur.* "I really am home..." *He gently licked his younger sister's head, who was taller. But of course, he had passed away and never grew...* "No... I'm sorry sis. Please... make friends, alright? You can come back and tell me, but... try to live in the real world. You'll learn to enjoy it more... I never got that opportunity, and I want you to have it." "Baby Bird, just listen-" *He gave her a small smile.* "No, /you/ listen. Make friends. Live your life. And, well... be a /proud/ Windclan cat." *Pelicankit nodded firmly, before slowly fading away.* "I'll try, brother. I really will..." *They whispered, collapsing and closing her eyes again, waking up in the... real world... but it didn't feel real to /them/.*
