Character's Story:
Only as a Dream Spirit, Mareo wanders in dreams of others. One by one he would pass them taking in their complications ruining every bit of him. Never had he any dreams to figure out his own complications wich was of lonelyness, sadness, fear, and anger. Everyday he would go on like this. He was so quiet and took on the serene look though inside his mind was a racket of crashes, traffic, and screams of pain. Normally the muted sounds in a horrible dream. On and on this went. If he could only cry tears would stream down his face though being unable to his brows would just furrow.

It was on the streets that the faithfull day came upon him...

Walking on a busy walking path Mareo passed the solid figures of the being on earth. Stepping right through them just about every one for he was walking the opposing side of them, cringing everytime as he passed a being. He did so in the thoughts of their mind being able to read their occuring thoughts, past, and dreams. Most of them carried horrible pasts: deaths, heart aches...The common things and, to Mareo the not so surprising things, some even murders. The next after the next he'd remember every single one and even comming upon familiar beings with new complications. His head hung low looking at his feet. Rain would fall on his ghostly body instead of falling through him. No one could see this but the drops rolled over on him.

Just passing stores he would look inside of the wonderful items he would never enjoy but the ones in peoples dreams. Then just as he was paying no mind to what being he stepped in on, his soul then flourished with warmth and happyness. A gasp escaped his lips as he floated in the wonderfull aura of white light. Opening his eyes from this moment he stepped back from the being staring down with surprise. It was a young happy little girl only to be around the very young age of 4. Never had he felt something as this. Many times he would pass children though something diffrent was about this girl. Holding her mothers hand she pointed out something in the store. Looking at it the item Mareo smiled. He knelt the nearest he can to the girls height having to bend his spine lower to look at her eyes. It was that moment when they locked. Some how the girl knew just for that moment, then in went Mareo to live in her dreams.

Mareo would expercience moment in the little girls life such as the first scary dream she had with Mareo. He showed up on his own out of feelings. The girl was appearantly crying, Mareo from aback watched this scene of her crying all alone because her mother supposably left her. He knew why this dream occured as her mother was on a business trip and she was left with a nanny. This was an example of how she trully felt about her mother being away. On his own Mareo appeared with a soft smile on his face. Kneeling down he said,"Don't cry, what's your name?" wiping a tear away then next softly clutching his large hand around her delicate arm,"It'll be okay."

"Sarah," her little boice lifted. Then she reached her arms out for a hug and Mareo would cuddle her untill she slept and faded to wake up in the real world. Every time something bad would happen Mareo would be there though he usually was there every night. Finally at the age of nine Sarah asked in her dream,"What's your name?" She asked this in Mareo's arms.

"Mareo..," then pulling the still-young girl away he looked down on her giving her a kiss on the cheek as he faded.

On and off but mostly there he would be in Sarah's dream untill one day at the age of 18 she found a true love. In her dreams she would have her 'true love' there comforting her. Mareo stood in the background, Sarah completely ignoring him. Slowly Mareo began fading away. Over and over he would try to communicate with Sarah but never got to. It was only once when he had the chance. It was when in the beginning to where she faded into a dream he quickly grabbed her,"Sarah!" Looking up at Mareo she stared at him oddly,"Let me go! Who are you?!" the girl was serious, really forgetting about Mareo. With eyes of confusion and anger she would try to free herself. "You don't remember me? It's Mareo! You must! You must!" he shook her at his last words trying to convince her but only wound up panicing her.

"Let me go! Brendan! Brendan!," as you see here she calls for someone. Mareo's eyes stricken knowing that name. It was the name of her 'love'. She squinted her eyes with tears falling from them.

Shaking her again Mareo screamed,"It's me Mareo! I was ther when you were scared, I was there when you were lonely, I was there when you didn't even need me! Sarah! I Love You! Don't push me away!"

Suddenly, Sarah froze with stricken eyes herself. Remembering the old dreams of her past, he was there when she was scared, lonely, and what not. Looking up at him she cried,"Mareo! I'm so sorry Mareo!" In the background was the shadowy outline of Brendan. Looking back of her staring out at Brendan she cried even more,"But he's real! I love him! I can't love you, Mareo. You're just a character in a dream. I love you, I love you so much." Looking down on Mareo he closed their short distance to a tight and compasionate hug,"Don't leave me. You're the only thing I care for, the only reason why I don't want to vanish in this world! You can't leave me!"

"But I have to! I can't even kiss you..," she dug her face in Mareo's chest. Though in her surprise Mareo lifted her head for their eyes to lock. It was that moment again when Sarah was a small child, then their lips locked. Softly pulling away he looked down on her hoping it would prove something.

"But..you're just a dream..Mareo...please, go away," releasing from his grab with little struggle she walked away. This was the last of their meeting. The girl winded up with heartache, married in earlier life, had children, then died as an old lady. As for Mareo he kept searching that maybe he would find another girl on the street that he could love again...

Comments: Yes, yes. The story is long and sappy but hey! I stuck with the extra right? Sort of? Oh well. The picture, it's pretty simple. I only jazzed it with PSP wich I'm new at so it's not all pro looking. I'm on trail anyways so yea. I did part on Oekaki P-Chat then the rest in PSP. It was fun! ^^ and being an RPer I didn't mind making the story at all and thought it was a great extra! So to whoever created this months character I say, Congradulations? lol I dunno.
