''Aloe!'' Lotus screamed at the top of her lungs as she opened the door to her bedroom, The ocean blue girl flung the door open and ran in the dark to her sister's bedside. The pink slightly younger sister was hysterical and in tears when she felt her slightly older sister place her arms around her, the way she did when she was a little girl and had a bad dream. Only those dreams never involved best friends having been boiled alive in the sister day spa sauna from hell. ''shhhh, It's okay Aloe, big sister is here now.'' Big sister was a bit of a misnomer, both the Blossom Sisters where twins technically, as they had the same mother over the course of the same pregnancy, but the thing is, not only was Lotus born first, on November 30th, Aloe was born a full twenty four hours later on December 1st. Big sister, twin sister, to them it didn't matter, all that mattered was they were sisters who had a deep and tangential love for each other.

''Oh Lotus!'' She said crying as she held her sister tightly as if she was afraid the nightmare would come back to her if she let her go. '' I had the most horrible dream!'' She said as Lotus lovingly stroked her sister's hair.

''Do you want to tell me about it?'' She said as she dried the tears in her eyes.

''I...I can't, it's too upsetting, just...just do what you used to do when I had bad dreams...if you don't think I've grown too big for it.''

''You're my sister Aloe, you'll never be too big too be safe in big sister Lotus's bed.'' She didn't mean it ''that'' way. Just that they'd comfort each other to make sure the bad dreams wouldn't come back. ''Do you still have?'' She asked as her sister reached under her pillow and pulled up a green stuffed pony toy with a lime green mane. She didn't understand why, but she felt a strange and yet...familiar connection to the toy.

''Still got Seaweed wrap after so long.'' Aloe said smiling as she got out of her bed and her sister lead her down the hall to her bedroom.

''You are so lucky you didn't wake mom and dad up sis.'' Lotus said as she crawled into bed, her sister cuddling beside her, seaweed wrap tucked under one arm.

''Let's just go back to sleep okay?'' was all Aloe could reply with. Aloe wrapped her sister and herself up in the blanket and they held each other in a tight embrace. Seaweed Wrap was nice and snug between them, just as he had been all the other times Aloe had a bad dream. The bad dream faded as her warm bigger sister held the (slightly) younger one close to her, her companion and Seaweed acting as guardians that keep the bad dreams away. So what if they where of age with part time jobs at their parents Spa? The sisterly love they had was sacred, no matter the girl's ages. Aloe relaxed and before a much better sleep came to her; she said, ''it's over.''

No it isn't Aloe; the terror, has only just begun.
