Felina Golumbine’s wedding day was perfect. It was like something out of a beautiful dream. She looked stunning in her dress. Her blonde hair was perfectly styled. Her blue eyes shined. The wedding chapels bells rung. There was a crowd of reporters waiting outside. They held up microphones and asked questions.
“How do you do it all Felina?” one of them asked, “You are one of the most powerful individuals in the media. You are an icon to women all over the world. And now you have married the first great American super soldier Raddy Volcane. What will you do next?”
“Oh it is not about trying to be on top,” she answered, “What matters is that you follow your heart. Do what comes natural.”
Felina continued to take questions and answer them from the top of the wedding chapel steps. Then she saw something. Someone in the crowd coming closer. Felina knew her. It was that red head pilot that Raddy did not like. What was she doing here? Felina did not remember inviting her to the wedding.
“Stay back,” said Felina as the girl stopped at the foot of the steps to the chapel.
“I am so sorry Felina,” said Janessa, “but you can’t stay here. None of this is real.”
“Go away,” said Felina.
She looked into Raddy’s face. He smiled back at her. Felina could lose herself in his eyes.
“Raddy is dead, Felina,” said Janessa.
“Shut up,” Felina screamed.
The sky turned dark and there was thunder and lightning. The wind began to push Janessa back. She held her ground.
“Listen to me Felina,” said Janessa yelling over the wind, “you are the last one. We can’t escape the mind trap without you.”
“I won’t let you take it from me,” screamed Felina, “just leave us alone.”
“I’m the only other person in here who is real,” said Janessa, “Raddy is dead. And you only have one eye now. Remember it.”
Felina felt something over one of her eyes. She touched it. They were bandages. Her wedding dress was gone; she was wearing a gown from the medical center.
“No stop it,” Felina cried.
A hand touched her shoulder.
“It’s okay,” said Raddy Volcane, “You should go now.”
“But I love you,” said Felina.
“You need to move on Felina,” said Raddy, “You are young and beautiful and you deserve to be happy. But you won’t find that if you stay here with me. Go with her. Let her take you home.”
Felina Golumbine stole one last kiss from Raddy Volcane. Then she slowly walked down the wedding chapel steps to Janessa. They started walking down the street. Janessa glanced back and saw Raddy wave goodbye before he and the rest of that world was gone.
