The clock downstairs had just struck midnight, when it happened. The stone resting on Jon's dresser began to glow a brilliant white, when suddenly it began to flash four times.
Yuki Meshida tossed and turned, Everything was so unfair. Her father had moved them here, thrown them into a new culture with a new language. His rules made it even harder for her to make friends. She just wanted some friends here...
FLASH
Erica Weber was also tossing and turning, having a problem of her own. She hated her stepmother. She wanted her father to be happy, but why couldn't it be with someone she liked too?
FLASH
Nadine Ferguson was dreaming. Nadine was seriously uptight, by most people's standard. In the dream, however she was much more relaxed. School didn't seem as full of sinners as it usually did...or at least she was turning the other cheek....
FLASH
Sarah McMillan had gone to bed mad at her parents. Normally, the two were either giving her whatever she wished, or ignoring her entirely in favor of their own lives...but it was never when she wished. She'd had a fight with her boyfriend, Biff, and she'd needed to talk to her mother. No matter she'd broken up with Biff three times this month, and gotten back together with him the next day each time...which was probably why her cheerleader friends had also blown her off as well...
FLASH
Jon sat up in bed. he had the strangest feeling something had just happened. But the stone was sitting on his dresser, cold and silent. "Must have been a dream," he mumbled, and went back to bed.
