Who: Carrie and Firefly
What: Carrie's having nightmares
When: Uhhh, nighttime.
Where: Firefly's dorm
Warnings: Nope!

Firefly had never really had bad nightmares before; sometimes she dreamt of the Smooze or the times her friends were enslaved or that time they were turned into evil dragons, sure, but they were never so bad she couldn't sleep. The only way she knew how to deal with this kinda thing was movies and junk food. It should be a nice movie, something wholesome and probably animated. There was a pretty big stash of Disney movies in a box by the TV, that would do nicely. Though she suspected that the movie wasn't very important, she guessed her new friend needed to talk more than anything.

Her roommate had gone somewhere for the night, said something about "getting laid," whatever that meant, so the dorm and its contents were all hers tonight. The dorm was mostly spotless. She spread out a tye-dye comforter on the couch, lit a candle that would fill the room with the scent of vanilla, and checked on the ice cream reserves- plenty of dairy in that little freezer. And just as she was satisfied that this room had no taste, smell, sight or sound that would further antagonize her friend, the buzzer sounded. She pressed the button that would let Carrie up, then opened the door. In Rainbow-Brite pajamas she waited in the doorway for Carrie to make it up the elevator and down the hall. Firefly was worried.

The recent murders were taking a toll on Carrie. All of those people ending up dead, it was just as bad as her high school, but at least those people deserved what they got for laughing. It didn't stop the fact that she kept remembering that night in her sleep, or dreaming of a maze where she tried to find her mother, only to keep bumping into a creature in the shape of her mother.

Not even really bothering to properly dressed, she threw some trousers on from under her night gown and shoved on an old pair of sneakers. Normally Carrie wouldn't even consider going out this late at night, but she wanted a good nights sleep without any nightmares and she felt so tense inside that even if someone attacked her, she'd kill them

Thankfully, she had made it to Firefly's dorm without any trouble. The streets relatively deserted. Once there, she pressed the button to go inside the building. There was a lady at the front desk, she pulled out her school ID and told her who she meant to see. The woman took her ID and pointed to the elevator, giving her the floor number. She thanked her and went inside, pressing the correct button and waited.

The doors opened and she went through the hallway, knocking on Firefly's dorm. "hey, Firefly? It's Carrie."

	Firefly flung the door open and greatly resisted the urge to fling her arms around Carrie; instead she hugged her more cautiously, having learned from her earlier mistakes. "Carrie!" She let the girl go and ushered her inside. "Are you okay?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She was grateful for the hug, even more so that it was slow-she wasn't sure she could handle Firefly's usual hugs.

"I'm fine." Her voice was uncertain though, her therapist said that nightmares wouldn't be uncommon considering what she had experienced. It didn't mean she could handle them at the moment.

She slowly lifted her head as she stepped inside, her eyes wide. The room was colorful, bright and the smell of vanilla made it even 'softer'. Firefly in her pajamas and hair added to it. It was better than her room back home, where the pictures of Jesus as the Good Shepard covered the walls helped her feel that she was being protected.

She sat down on the comforter, her hair spilling over her shoulders. "You said you had movies?" It was a novel concept to her, being able to watch movies at home-not that she even saw movies at the theater.

	Firefly perked up when she saw the floating bowl. "Hey! You do have powers! Neat!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hugs were nice, and simple, and especially enjoyable now that she had arms. Firefly squeezed back with all her tiny might, completely reassured that there wasn't going to be any tension or awkwardness between the two of them. "Carrie, you're my first friend here, you know? I'd never want to lose you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The hug finished what the ice cream and movie started, Carrie felt the rest of the tension leave her. Firefly's statement left her surprised, and it was evident when she finally pulled away. "Really? but you're so nice, I would've thought you had a lot of friends." She smiled. "I don't want to lose you, either." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She looked down a moment. "I don't really know how, but..I never really got to play much when I was younger. Everything in my life was always so serious." The sugar was starting to were off, and in combination with the lessening of tension-plus the vanilla candle-Carrie felt herself finally becoming tired. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
