Reflection [AW]

[SunFlash]

OOC: Ok, there are pretty much posting going on in only 2 threads. I'll open things up...with a little song that I have stuck in my head .

Oh yes, it may be prefered that Gabe or Bella don't post. This song is pretty much reflecting her feelings toward the situation in when they spoke, and it would kinda shock her.

BIC:

|An angel? Puh, who woulda thought. Mom always favoured me, Stripe always hated me. Pah, figures| Flash said in thought as she lied in her under-porch home, looking at the yellow bandanna her boyfriend gave her. A past life meant her living a lie. She's not who she seemed, and she's totally different than who she thought of herself. What about Jay? Jay is totally blind to it. Sighing, she slunk up through the narrow crevice, and looked into bowl of kibble that belonged to an Anatolian Shepherd that lived here. "My luck, no grub" She mocked at the empty dish. A booming bark made SunFlash jump a few feet high, it was the dog (inside) giving warning barks to the intruder. SunFlash's coat was fluffed up, and her eyes were widened. Sulking down the steps, she looked at a puddle. Her eyes sunk.

"Look at me
You may think you see
Who I really am
But you'll never know me
Every day
It's as if I play a part"

SunFlash then made her way down the sidewalk leading to downtown San Fransisco

"Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart"

SunFlash passed by a store's window, then looked at the newly cleaned glass.

"Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?"

Head slung low, she continued on her walk.

"I am now
In a world where I
Have to hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am"

"Perfect" SunFlash said as she felt a drop of rain hit her golden muzzle. Finding no shelter while the clouds gave way to the pelting rain, she sat down, her pelt getting wetter and wetter. She sat down to grim and bear it, looking up at the stormy skies.

"Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection
Someone I don't know?
Must I pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

There's a heart that must be
Free to fly
That burns with a need to know
The reason why"

The Border collie then closed her eyes from the rain that weighed her eyelashes down. Lightning struck over San Fransisco Bay, but she didn't flinch.

"Why must we all conceal
What we think, how we feel?
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide?
I won't pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?"

OOC: This is 'Reflection' by Christina Aguilera, also featured in Mulan, one of my favourite movies (For the sheer reason that it reminds me of the Lioness Quartet, where Alanna binds her chest, cuts her hair, and tries to become a knight, even though women were forbidden to do so).

[Rusty]

OOC: I think I heard this song on one of Anna's CDs. I have to admit, it's a good song.

Anna's been hogging the computer all night. My turn to do some hogging .

BIC: "What's that" The old Cardigan heard. His fox ears lifted when he heard the sweet voice of SunFlash (Will I get hurt by saying that?). The short legged dog saw the Border Collie. Her golden stripe gave it away "SunFlash? It's Rusty, remember me? Short legs?"

[AJ]

The german shepherd was sitting under a store hood as the rain came down. He looked up to the stormy sky, letting his ears dropped to the top of his head. "Another rainy day....." he muttered to himself. He then pricked his ears at the sound of familiar singing. He started to look around through the rain and saw the golden-striped border collie across the street. He walked from under the store hood and crossed the wet street, making his way towards SunFlash. "Hey SunFlash.." he greeted, quickly noticing her current expression. "Are you ok?"

OOC~ I think I remember that song. But I'm not sure since I was younger when I first heard it. Still, it's a good song.

[SunFlash]

OOC: I have no problem with you looking at this thread. Just, I'd prefer it if you didn't post in between.

It was about 1998 when it came out, which is 6 years ago. I admit, I can't remember it too much (Good thing I found my Mulan movie). It's coming to DVD, but I found a sound file for this song. Reason why I didn't post it up is because it's not really a good quality.

BIC:

SunFlash opened her eyes, seeing the short-legged Corgi she met last year, and the Shepherd, AJ "Huh? Oh, hey guys". She then responded to AJ's question "I'm ok...I think. Not too sure, don't really know how to say it".

[AJ]

AJ nodded. He then looked up at the sky, noticing it was raining harder. He looked back at SunFlash. "So, wanna get out of the rain? Don't wanna get a cold."

Jonathan was sitting at a small gazebo near the three dogs. He had heard most of what SunFlash sang. "That is a very touching song..." The wind started to pick up, Jonathan pulled his cloak tighter around his body.

[SunFlash]

SunFlash nodded, then shook "Sure". She looked at the Corgi "Oh, AJ, this is Rusty. Rusty is a Cardigan Welsh Corgi" She introduced

[AJ]

AJ looked down at Corgi and smiled. "Hey there. I'm AJ. Nice to meet you." He then shook himself

[Rusty]

OOC: Viperness, you forgot Jonathan.

BIC: Rusty dipped his wedge-shaped muzzle to AJ "Hey". Rusty then shook his short, but dense, brindle coat "Ya, would be nice to get out of this rain"

OOC: Quick post, Keyla calls.

[SunFlash]

OOC: *violent twitching* See, I'm totally prone to this. People always post at the same time as I.

BIC:

"What?" SunFlash's head turned to see the cloaked collie in the gazebo. "Uhhh, thanks Jonathan".

OOC: Can't think, ate too much for lunch.

[King Sejong of Joseon]

OOC: It is okay. Jonathan was actually talking more to himself.
BIC: Jonathan gestured for them to come over to the gazebo, "You three should come over here, lest you catch your death."

[SunFlash]

Shaking her slim coat, she paced to the gazebo where Jonathan was sitting. She sat, and leaned against a post with her back to lounge.

OOC: Note to self, don't post around 6:00 in the morining. Too tired, can't sleep.

[AJ]

AJ followed, making his way to the gazebo. He sat beside SunFlash as he looked up at the sky, seeing dark clouds floating over them. He then looked at SunFlash. "Are you sure you're ok? Looks like something bothering you."

[SunFlash]

She nodded "Ya, there is. It's really bothering me. I don't feel like myself, more like pretending, or something like that". She took off her bandanna, and wiped her face from most of the dampness.

[King Sejong of Joseon]

Jonathan stared into the curtain of rain. He turned back to the two, "How about a warm drink? I'm sure it will cheer both of you up." Jonathan walked over to the middle of the gazebo and whispered in the language of magic. A small pile of logs appeared and was engulfed in flames. The light from the fire cast back the shadows surrounding them. He waved his paws in an intricate pattern and a pot appeared above the flames. Jonathan moved a little closer to the two dogs and sat down in front of the fire. The plume on his helmet fluttered in a strong gust.
