The Night Before/Music In The Park (open)

[jahova]

Dream Sequence

Jahova was climbing a mountain, it seemed barely to be a struggle. But, upon reaching the summit, he noticed that all the darkness was behind him, and the way ahead was brilliant. He lifted his right hand and shielded his eyes from the hurtful light, but he smiled. This light made him feel wonderful... so he decended the mountain, ever pursuing it. Whenever he reached the bottom, he noticed a city in the distance, which seemed to radiate this light. Jahova lifted his arms and embraced that light as it pulled him into that city.

Awakening

Jahova awoke to discover that it was morning and he was in the woods by the Golden Gate Bridge. He yawned and stood up, stretching. Homeless and wandering, he continued on his extreme walk... having walked all the way from New York to California.

Making his way into the city, he noticed that it had the same outline as the city in his dream. He thought to himself, "Wow... striking similarities... perhaps this is where i'll finally make my home. Look whose back California... embrace me again as you did from the Pacific..." He strode up the city's streets, simply ignoring the awkward glares people were giving him due to his disfigured face. He didn't care... because anyone who truly thought so superficially, were the REAL freaks.

He wandered throughout the city most of the day, and rested in the park. There, he found something extraordinary. As he was strolling by, there was an ampitheatre and some people performing. He stopped and crossed his arms, smiling very contently as he closed his eyes and nodded his head to the tempo. Thats when, out of nowhere, came a brilliant solo from a violin. He opened his eyes and watched... and it ended the last song of their performance. They packed their things and returned to their homes... it being dusk now.

Jahova walked down to that ampitheatre and turned his guitar around on his back... and started to play. The tune was sweet... and he added to its sweetness by singing, the song went something like this:

Let's say sunshine for everyone
But as far as I can remember
We've been migratory animals
Living under changing weather

Someday we will foresee obstacles
Through the blizzard, through the blizzard
Today we will sell our uniform
Live together, live together

We played hide and seek in waterfalls
We were younger, we were younger
We played hide and seek in waterfalls
We were younger, we were younger
We played hide and seek in waterfalls
We were younger, we were younger
We played hide and seek in waterfalls
We were younger, we were younger

Someday we will foresee obstacles
Through the blizzard, through the blizzard


His voice was stunningly amazing... he became lost in his song... and didn't notice anyone approaching.

[Tong Xian Tian]

It was another lovely day in the beautiful city of San Fransisco and Xian would not let that day pass by without her. So off she was, dressed in a pair of jeans that were much bigger then her normal size and a lovely blue shirt that was not super tight like she usually wore. This shirt looked to be around her size now but that was looser at her stomach, though not too much since she wasn't all THAT big. The reason that she wore different clothing styles, well the answer was simple, Xian was pregnant and she wanted to wear some more normal, non-revealing clothing. Plus she doubted that others would want to see her now growing belly.
Xian had locked herself up in her own home for a long time, only leavig to buy what was needed for her home, boyfriend and herself and/or going down to Maverik's dojo and see how his mother and the other Watchmen were doing. Other then that, she didn't get out for enjoyment at all. But today she had enough and she managed to convince herself that the world would have to see her as she was, pregnant and happy. Plus why should she be upset? She had a good home, enough money to keep her family secure, a wonderful boyfriend and she wished to marry some day and a baby on it's way for teh couple to love and get closer by. This would be the proof to their love, the creation of Tong Xian Tian and Maverik's love through time.

But while the birth of the child was still a long time from now, Xian decided to try and get her life back in track. So since she could not train anymore or do anything that required too much effort, Xian decided to go for a simple walk. It would quench her thirst for exercise and give her a chance to see if she could find some friends around.
But as she walked around, it now begining to get darker out, Xian heard something that strangely sounded very familiar. It was the voice of a man and it was very lovely, but where did it come from? 'I know that voice....but I can't quite put my finger on whom is singing....' she thought. But then it came to her, it was Jahova!
"Of course!" she exclaimed as she ran towards the voice, wanting to see if it was truly him. The Chinese girl slowed down and came to a halt as she could now see from afar whom it was and she was happy to see that she was right, really, it brought a smile to her face.
Xian walked slowly towards him and stopped in front of the small theater.
"Jahova...." she softly said as he finished his song. "That was truly lovely. I haven't seen you in a long time. How have you been, old friend." she smiled softly.

[jahova]

He only noticed her arrival whenever she said something. He closed his eyes and turned his head to the sky. A long time ago, he would have quickly taken action to conceal his face, but not anymore. He whispered, "Tong Xian Tian..." He opened his eyes and then lowered his head back down to look into her eyes. "It truly has been quite a long time..."

As he talked, his fingers went back to idly playing a little tune on the guitar. "I have been, enlightened. I'm sorry to say that I can't remember whether or not you knew about my therapy... but now, I am no longer ashamed of who I am, I can no longer be hurt by the cruel words of others... and my past, is my past... nothing more than memories, no longer controlling me. So, to answer your question... I am wonderful. How about yourself?" He chuckled, "But, above all things in this moment, my mind wonders why it is your here in San Fransisco? Have you moved from Varron?"

Jahova had left Varron before the students had all been transferred so... he was completely oblivious about their change. The song that he let his fingers idly play was quite good for impromptu playing. But, he had to stop quickly to push his glasses up on his nose. The setting sun caught his glasses just right, concealing his eyes. She would see kindness and warmth behind them, no longer sorrow... just as his body language expressed. He used to slump, but now he sat upright. He used to constantly have his head bowed, but now it was level.
