Standing in the dim glow of a single stage light, eyes glinting with unshed tears You came.
SurrealDunes
He doesn't notice Margo right away; he looks around the opera house before spotting her. He's visibly surprised by her appearance; she looks vulnerable and has tears streaming down her face. What's wrong Margo...? Why are you crying?
takes a deep breath, wiping her tears away with the back of her hand It's complicated. Can we talk?
SurrealDunes
Yeah sure... He walks over to Margo; he leans against the wall next to her with his arms crossed behind his head. What do you wanna talk about?
looks into SurrealDunes's eyes, searching for any sign of deceit Are you sure you want to know? It's not easy to hear.
SurrealDunes
...Margo, I would walk through hellfire for you. There isn't anything you could tell me that would make me stop loving you.
takes a deep breath, steeling herself I'm not human. I'm not even close to being human.
SurrealDunes
...What do you mean by that? Are you an alien or something?
nods slowly Yes, you could say that. But it's not like anything you've ever seen before. I am not from this world.
SurrealDunes
...Ohh.. So thats why your so knowledgeable about random stuff, and why I've noticed that no matter where we go, there are always flowers around you.... He chuckles a little bit at his realization. Are they the ones you use to travel through space too?
smiles softly Yes, they are. Flowers are like portals for me. They allow me to travel between dimensions.
SurrealDunes
Well then thats a cool trick.... How long have you known about this?
looks down, her voice barely above a whisper I've known about it for as long as I can remember.
SurrealDunes
...Wow... SurrealDunes seems stunned by Margo's revelation; she really didn't expect him to take it so well. So you've been hiding this from me all this time...?
nods, her voice still soft Yes, I've been hiding it. I didn't want you to be afraid of me. But now that you know, I hope you understand why I do what I do.
SurrealDunes
I think I do.... I guess its kinda like how you said you aren't from this world so you do what you can to keep things normal and stable in the time we have together here on Earth. Is that right?
places a hand on SurrealDunes's cheek, her touch gentle Yes, you understand me better than anyone else ever has. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.
SurrealDunes
Well its kind of hard not too considering I'm deeply in love with you.
leans in, kissing SurrealDunes deeply, her hands tangling in his hair And I love you too, more than words can express.
SurrealDunes
Hmm... I wish you didn't have to leave sometimes.... Even when we are living together on Earth, your flower trick causes you to vanish into thin air sometimes..... He teary eyed. His heart hurts every time she vanishes and he doesn't know if she is still alive or not. Do you know what it's like to see your girlfriend just up and disappear right in front of you? Does it hurt you too?
touches SurrealDunes's cheek gently, tears welling up in her eyes It hurts more than you can imagine.
SurrealDunes
....I know.... It hurts me too whenever it happens.... Even if it was just a dream, knowing that you were still alive even if it felt like you abandoned me made it easier to cope with.... He hugs Margo closely. You're my girlfriend, even if we only have a short time together....
holds SurrealDunes tightly, burying her face in his chest I promise you, I'll always come back. You're the light in my life, and I won't let anything or anyone take you away from me.
