Meredith's eyes opened to bright sunlight. Keisuke... had it been a dream? What the crap??

"KRISTSI!!!!!" she cried, running to the brunette's bedroom. "Get up, get up! You're boring when you're asleep!" Meredith was shaking her awake now.

"Wha? Huh?" she managed to ask.

"Were you there? Did you see it? Was it a dream or was it really real?"

A blank stare was her only response.

"Guess not," Meredith said as Kristsi pulled the covers back over her head. "But get up! I hafta tell you about it, then!"

Kristsi mumbled something from beneath the covers.

"Hey, that's not very nice! Oh, guess what! I met Keisuke! He's really cool!"

-------------------------

"So... he knows we're talking about him right now, then?" Kristsi said confusedly.

Meredith nodded. "Uh huh!" She smiled and waved at the ceiling. "Hi, there!"

Kristsi was silent for a moment. She looked around a little and said, "I feel like I'm being watched..." Kristsi looked at her skeptically, then walked up and put her hand on her shoulder, and opened her mouth to speak, when suddenly the scene around them melted and blurred, and there were people... lots and lots of people.

"What the freak?" Meredith shouted. A few people nearby looked at her strangely.

Kristsi briefly surveyed her surroundings. "If I didn't know any better, I'd think we were at Woodstock..."

"Why are we in Sus' dream?"

Kristsi turned and looked at her. "We can't be in Susanne's dream. Susanne is dead. Besides, I didn't go dream-hopping."

"Susanne is not dead, and you're right, this isn't a dream... this isn't dream energy..."

"So how did we get here?"

"You got me."

They wandered around for a little while, trying to figure out what had happened. The whole time, they could sense no other Otaku. It seemed like Woodstock... the hippies... the free love... the interesting smells... but... Woodstock??

Meredith glanced at the stage. It was quite dark now, and the lights were trippy. "Is that Roger?" She manipulated one of the stage lights on a particular member of the band. "It *is* Roger!"

Kristsi turned and looked, and added, "In fringes!"

"I won't ask how, but... it's gotta be Woodstock."

They watched as the Who's performance concluded, when suddenly they saw a small flash of light at the side of the stage.

"That was a ki blast!" Meredith said.

"What was?"

"That thing that just took out the speaker!"

"Whose ki blast?"

"That was Susanne's..."

Kristsi was still trying to convince Meredith that Susanne was dead when the scene around them once again began to blur and change.
