A young girl walked through the abandoned alley, expecting nothing interesting to happen. Until, a strange woman appeared from nowhere in search for her hat. She first appeared to be a drunkard walking the streets, not sure what she was doing. But the girl seemed to recognize the woman, not in real-life but in her dreams.

(Twist doesn't have her well-known lisp in this story. That is why the story is mark AU. Also, cover-art drawn by ninjaham.)

Special thanks for The Lunar Samurai for looking through my mess of a rough draft and for Elric of Melnipony for editing.
