Asher Hawthorne is a soon-to-be fifth year Hogwarts student from New York City. He lives with his sister Kenedie. He has a girlfriend named Raven Athlon, and he is quickly falling pretty deeply for her. So, Asher asks himself in frustration, why does he keep having these really weird dreams. Okay, maybe we should back up a little bit here.

Kenedie, on her very first day of work at the Ministry of Magic, met a rather insane girl named Lima who grew to be her best friend. She understands the insanity of Lima, and she embraces it. In fact, Kenedie quickly became so fond of Lima that she invited Lima to a sleepover at her house. On this fateful day, Asher caught sight of Lima, and, although he is pretty much over the moon about Raven, thought that Lima was pretty incredible looking. He didn’t really think much of their meeting, though. She was just Kenedie’s friend.

…but then the dreams started. Asher began dreaming endlessly of Lima every single night for quite some time. This thread has been designed to display some of these dreams. This does NOT take away from the care Asher has from Raven. I mean, he can’t help what he dreams of! He didn’t mention these dreams to Raven, hoping that they would go away quickly. Little did he know, they would be around for quite some time.

Cast List:
Asher Hawthorne; (BreBear)
Lima Whiggmeister; (Whitterz)
Kenedie Hawthorne; (BreBear)

Asher felt Raven fall asleep in his arms, and he smiled. He began drifting to sleep rather quickly, still shaken up by the night's sleepover. He felt so lucky to have this Irish beauty in his arms. That's the last thing he thought before he fell asleep, before the dream started.

Wow. Unconsciousness felt like...great.

But what was this? Vivid colors. Ouch they kinda hurt. Oh, but it was okay. He was only in Kenedie's living room. Mmm, there was Lima. Yum. She looked delicious like a big juicy...orange. No wait, yuck. Asher hated oranges. He realized that Lima looked really scared. Like, petrified of something.

"Oh, Lima. Don't be scared!" he said, running to her and taking her dramatically in his arms. Holy moly. She smelled nice. He smelled her hair quite obviously, not realizing that this might be a little weird for her.

She grabbed Asher in a huge embrace. "Oh, but I'm so scared!" she told him, not really sure why she was feeling so scared. "Hold me closer." All she wanted right now was someone to be there for her, and Asher was perfect.

Then he started smelling her hair... O____O That hadn't been a part of the plan. "What are you doing?" she asked, slightly confused now.

Asher had to think quick. He couldn't admit to Lima he was smelling her hair.

"Uhhhhh," Asher said, his eyes darting around, "I thought I saw a bug in your hair. Yup. A bug."

"Ewww!" she said as she started ruffling her hair up. "Is it gone now?" Bugs were so gross! Why was there one in her hair?

Asher smiled as it became apparent that Lima was totally oblivious to his hair-smelling tactics, tactics that had NOT worked. He hadn't even smelled her hair. He pouted momentarily but then said, "Oh yes, it flew away ages ago."

As she had ruffled out her hair, though, he had gotten a little whiff of the luscious locks. He sniffed the air longingly.

"Lima, your hair smells just divine. Oranges? Yeah. Oranges."

"No, not oranges!" She shook her head furiously and shuddered. "Never oranges. They scare me so much."

She was so scared of oranges, that even thinking of using shampoo that smalled of it caused her to shiver in fear.

Asher's brow furrowed. He was confused. I mean, sure, he didn't like oranges either. But wow, she seemed like... PETRIFIED.

"What's wrong with oranges?" he asked her.

"They are so scary! The scariest thing ever." She started to get teary eyed. Her lips were trembling and she looked like she would cry at any moment. She was just that scared.

Asher's eyes were wide. He had never seen someone with such an irrational fear. Oranges? Really? He decided he needed to fix his error of choice and choose a new fruit to be suave.

"Oh, I meant to say apples, doll. It smells like apples," he said, stroking her cheek slightly, trying to prevent her from bursting into tears.

She smiled slightly and started to calm down a bit. Apples she could live with. That was her older brother's fear, not hers.

And his rubbing her cheek like that helped her too. It reminded her of when Mads did that.. Just thinking of him made her smile even more. "Thank you, Asher," she said giving him a hug.

Ah. That felt nice. She was hugging him. HA! She must be totally digging me. Dream Asher grinned horribly. Real Asher shook his head in confusion.

"Are you scared of just oranges? Or like orange juice? Orange popsicles?" Asher said, trying to make sure she continued hugging him.

"All of it!" she called out as she nestled her head into his chest as if just his comforting touch would make all her fears go away.

Asher found himself oddly pleased at Lima cuddling herself deep into his chest. He smiled since she couldn't see him. His voice was full of care when he spoke. "What happened to make you so scared of them, love?" he asked her gently.

He was secretly plotting to leave oranges lying around more often.

"Well... promise not to laugh?" she asked uncertainly. "When I was little, I got an orange seed in my eye. It hurt so much." She sniffled into him and held on even tighter.

"Oh my," he said, patting her shoulders, "I'll bet it did." His voice was full of sympathy.

"But don't worry," he added suddenly, puffing his chest out, "I'll keep you away from all harm. Even those dreaded oranges." He nodded, smirking at her.

She giggled and said, "my Hero." But of course he wasn't as big a hero to her as Mads was. He could calm her down like no one else could when she was upset.

“So I guess that makes you the princess and me the knight on a white steed, right?” he asked, lapping up this lovey-dovey Lima who was obviously smitten over him.

Real Asher laughed. Idiot.

Well, that was sorta overdoing it a bit in her opinion. It wasn't like they were in love or anything. They were just friends. "Um, I guess you could look at it that way if you wanted to?"

“That means we’ll get married,” Asher said. The real-Asher was wondering why he wasn’t thinking of Raven or of Lima’s boyfriend, whose name he didn’t know. The dream-Asher told the real Asher to shut up. “I bet you’ll look fantastic in white.” Looks like dream-Asher was totally winning. His face took on a very googly eyed look.

"Yeah, you're my soul mate." She was totally joking of course. She had a soul mate and it wasn't him. "And you best believe I look good in white." She wondered if she would ever get married.

Asher felt like he was flying. OMG?!?! Did she just say SOULMATE?!

He cleared his throat.

"Soulmate it is," he said winking at her, "And trust me... I bet you'll look amazing in anything! Especially like a bikini or something."

Well.. that was sorta random. "Yeah, I suppose so, huh?" She was sorta wondering why he was talking about bikinis, but she still wanted to try to have some fun with him. Joke around."Wanna test that theory?" He would get that she was joking, right?

Asher's heart skipped a beat. Wow. She was so wanting to get in a bikini around him. What had he done to make her forget Maddox so quickly? WOAH! Real Asher's eyes would have been bulging out of his head if they had been opened. How did he even know Lima's boyfriend's name?!

"Actually, yeah. Let's go swimming. We can apparate to a pool. Well, you can. I'm not old enough, but I can side-along," Asher added sheepishly, feeling lame.

She raised her brow. She hadn't even been serious. But, she did like the idea of going swimming. It was summer and she she loved the water. "Okay," she said suddenly getting up from the couch. She took her dress off, and was now looking at him expectantly in her bikini . Why did she even have her bikini on her? She had no idea.

"Well, let's go." She needed him to change and get towels.
