P.S. i made up the Somare tulip, a combination of Latin words for dreams and love. so clever lol.

(Sunset. The listener approaches a glistening pond. Tiny critters and other wildlife scurry in the bushes. The area is illuminated by a mysterious glowing blue fungus situated around the edge of the pond. Tiny, multi-colored lights dance in the air.)

(distant humming)

(close humming)

hi

(giggle)

how was your day? today was your big test, right?

and you did well?

of course you did.

OF course, you fire wizards do everything right.

yes, they do!

(Listener sits down next to Lily)

i - i'm sorry, i'm really happy you passed the test.

no, I undermined your accomplishment, and I'm sorry.

(pause)

i do NOT apologize too much, you - just can't accept my kindness.

(laugh)

(sigh)

you should feel proud.

it's the next step into becoming a true wizard of the order.

i - i really am happy for you.

(sigh)

strange, the fairies are so restless tonight.

well, usually they'd be asleep even before sunset.

every day, fairies require a lot of magical energy that they can only get with at least twelve hours of deep sleep every single night.

i've been reading a text on fantastical beasts, and their section on fairies is really fascinating.

(laugh)

yes, I could imagine sleeping for twelve hours EVERY night would be really nice.

all living creatures need their rest.

I'm sure after your busy week, you'll be catching up on some well-deserved beauty sleep too.

(pause)

no?

is - are having trouble sleeping?

(pause)

a headache?

let me feel your forehead.

(pause for Lily feeling forehead)

oh, you really are burning up.

(pause)

t - there's something else.

your - spirit energy is stressed.

your mind and body are in imbalance.

(pause)

would - would you mind if I tended to your spirit?

it's like meditation.

most imbalances of the mind and body come from the spirit, and if it's hurt, then - well - you can imagine a lot of bad things happening.

while you're - dreaming - I'd be using your mind's eye to find the wound of your spirit.

IF that's - alright...

(pause)

it is?

oh, thank you.

i promise this is going to be worth it.

(Lily places both hands on the listeners head)

i'm just going to put my hands here -

(pause)

just - try to relax - okay...?

(dreamy transition)

(magical sounds)

i can see a forest.

and fog.

a dense fog.

(pause)

and - something else.

i can see you.

you look - lost.

and scared.

i can't see any way out of here.

(pause)

i can see a light.

in the distance.

it's getting brighter.

(pause)

it - looks like a person.

it's getting closer.

(pause)

it's - me

(pause)

(back to reality)

i'm sorry! i'm so sorry!

(Lily looks away)

(soft crying)

no! no, you didn't do anything wrong.

this was my fault.

(pause)

i took advantage of you!

i made you see myself - in the vision.

why else would you see me in your dreams?

(pause)

you - you love me?

(pause)

do you really mean that?

(pause)

y - yes.

i love you too

(pause)

but I don't deserve you.

it's true!

(pause)

you've always been better than me.

what good is someone who just makes potions and talks to animals?

I'd just - slow you down.

(pause)

y - yes. yes it is my birthday.

but - what does that have to...?

(listener hands small wrapped gift to Lily)

th - thank you - so much.

(laugh)

it's - such a funny time to give me a gift.

when I'm a wet sopping mess.

(pause)

okay - okay I'll open it.

goodness, you're so insistent to -

(pause)

oh my gosh

(pause)

this - this is a Somare {som-air-a} tulip.

the -  the flower of undevoted love.

i thought these went extinct six-hundred years ago!

this - this is worth more than a hundred dragon scales.

how long have you been looking for this?

(pause)

since we first met?

and you've been saving it for my birthday?

(laugh)

(pause)

i - don't even know what to say.

i mean - thank you! thank you so much!

this is the best birthday present ever!

i'll cherish it forever...

(LIly hugs listener)

(pause)

i guess - this truly means you want to be with me.

(pause)

yes. yes - i love you too.

and i - i've inspired you?

(pause)

thank you.

you make me feel so special.

(pause)

can - can i kiss you?

(kissing sounds)

(breath)

wow.

can we - kiss some more?

(kissing sounds)

(breath)

yeah - we can stay here for a bit.

(pause)

i'm just going to - lay my head on your chest.

if that's alright.

(pause)

thank you.

(breath)

i hope you dream of me.

good night.

(kiss)

(le end.)
