17 July | Paradise Kiss | The Dance

Character/Pairing: Yukari
Rating: PG
Word Count: 400
She had this reoccurring dream where she sat in a field overrun by dandelions. It wasn't normal. They had white skirts, green legs and soft white faces, like friendly white lions. With their leaf arms stretched and touching, they sang. They sang and their voices sounded like a million little Miwakos.
Caroline, Caroline, where have you gone?
There's snow in the mountains; the woods have burned down
Caroline, Caroline, come out and play
It's warm in the fields today, today
They seemed to sing this endlessly. Finally, their little voices trickled off and they turned their round eyes to Yukari, sitting between them all made up in ribbons and lace.
"We are looking for Caroline. Are you Caroline?" Asked their million sweet voices.
"No. My name is Yukari." Said Yukari decisively.
Then the dandelions would wail and woe and she would wake up.
This dream happened night after night after night.
One night, finally, she sat in the center of the dandelions and listened to their song. And when they finished, they turned to her and their voices asked if she was Caroline. Yukari mustered up all her courage.
"Yes." She said, preparing for the worst.
All at once, they was a great pop and white ribbon and lace flew in all directions. And by the time the debris had cleared, Yukari had turned into a poppy in an orange vichy dress.
While she sat in amazement, all the Miwako dandelions smiled and sang:
Caroline, Caroline, where have you been?
It's spring in the field and there's tea to be had
Caroline, Caroline, where have you been?
You've come back to play again, again
Then the flowers danced and she danced and strangely, it wasn't bad. In fact, it was nice to be one of them, nice to laugh and sing and not worry about looking ridiculous. Then she woke up and looked around, and the lingering strings of orange vichy was the last she ever dreamt of it.
Some years later, a fan sent her a bouquet of dandelions. They afflicted her room for weeks afterwards with feathery, white petals. It was only when she was vaccuuming for the seventh or eighth time did the little song wander back into her head. She couldn't place it. But sometimes, purely coincidentially, she'll sing a little verse.
Caroline, Caroline, where have you been?
And she'll feel the strangest urge to dance.
