Was on Gen1 in the lunar biom gathering ambergris for my baby magmasuars. No big deal just cruising around farming... Until a meteor shower starts. JubJub and I both take a direct hit. I vaporize instantly, I see no death in the log on respawn. I manage to get back to JubJub and he's got 127hp. He managed to avoid being added to the comet strike death list. In JubJub's honor I erected a new shrine to Comet Strike Survivors. He is the only one with this distinguished title.

“Why, Samuel, why?” Aurora muttered to herself as she felt tears cloud her eyes, “You’re so much like him. Like Borealis. Why do I feel this way toward you? Even when I know you’d never muster the heart to be with someone like me?”
She blinked a little bit, and then she felt herself falling asleep.

Aurora found herself drifting through the night sky. There was a blue haze that filled her vision, and she looked down to see Terran High down below on the horizon. It was dark, yet the sky was filled with thousands of stars. The moon hung in the sky like an executioner’s axe, and it looked even larger than usual. It was a beautiful sight, but Aurora knew that she was in a dream.
“It sure is entrancing,” Aurora thought as her eyes clouded. She felt a searing pain in her left wrist, and she looked at it to see the implant gem still embedded deep into her flesh and bone. It seemed to glow with even more intensity, and as it did Aurora felt her mind grip and tear away, unknown locations popping up in her head at an alarming rate.
The stars above her began to shine intensely, blinding her eyes. She let out a shrill scream, and with a flash she felt herself in murky waters. She gasped as she sat up. She was in the swamp of the island, the one she promised herself never to travel into.
“No, no, I can’t be here,” Aurora murmured. She tried to get up, but she could not. She saw many dangerous creatures prowling the area, and she felt herself struggling to breathe. She felt strange things sucking on her arms, and she tilted her head to see leeches attaching themselves to her arms, and sapping away at her blood. She saw four people traveling in the distance, one of them more familiar than the others, so she cried out for help.
“HELP! HELP! HELP!” Aurora cried out.
But nobody came.
Suddenly there was another flash, and she found herself in large, grass plains. She looked around for a moment, and eventually spotted a boy in the distance with stiff shoulders and long, pure black hair that reached his shoulders. He still wore a graduation robe and had a graduation cap on. Aurora realized that she could move her limbs, so she got up from the ground and walked up to the familiar-looking boy.
“H-Hello?” Aurora asked timidly as she approached him. The boy jerked around, and Aurora noticed that there was a weird substance obstructing his face. They were almost like white blobs.
“YOU,” the boy said, “ARE NOT WORTHY OF ME.”
“What do you mean? I- I don’t know you!” Aurora shouted.
“OF COURSE YOU KNOW ME,” the boy said. He showed his wrist to Aurora, and she realized he had no implant.
“Samuel?!” Aurora gasped, “No, no it’s just a dream. What you’re saying isn’t real. Samuel’s my friend, he’d never say that to me-”
“WHO SAID WE WERE FRIENDS?” Samuel asked, his voice distorted. Aurora’s mind flashed to the night where the group were reunited near that beacon.
“What?”
“YOU HEARD ME,” Samuel replied in a distorted voice, “NO ONE EVER SAID WE WERE FRIENDS. WE ARE ALLIES. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING. MY ONLY FRIEND EVER IS STAR.”
Suddenly, the ground beneath them began to squirm, and a dodo bird rose into the air, the blobs around its face obstructing its features. Star. It glowed brightly, and Samuel held onto her tightly.
“MY ONLY FRIEND IS STAR. SHE’S BEEN AROUND LONGER THAN YOU EVER HAVE BEEN,” Samuel blurted, “YOU ARE NOTHING TO ME BUT AN ALLY TO HELP ME SURVIVE.”
“I-I don’t understand!” Aurora cried out to the sky, “WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?!”
No matter how hard Aurora convinced herself that this was just a dream, just a nightmare, Samuel’s words still haunted her. Aurora was nothing to him. Samuel very much would never care about someone like her. They had only met because of the circumstances of the island.
Samuel didn’t care about her.
Laughter shook the plains, and Aurora turned around with tears in her eyes to see Neddy and Ruby pointing their finger at her and laughing away. They too, had white blobs covering their faces.
“Look at that loser!” Neddy called out, “Look at that emo brat loser! She will never find love like us!”
Ruby was holding onto his arm and laughed along with him.
“She ABANDONED us, and fled like the coward she is! Of course Samuel would never accept someone like HER.”
The world began to blur, and more and more people began to manifest into the air. The ground began to twist and churn into the blacktop of Terran High. Now she was atop the stage, looking on at the laughing crowd, everyone’s faces obstructed with white blobs.
“Let’s give it up for our valedictorian, Aurora Romero!”
The former valedictorian turned around to see Mr. Mo looking at her while giving applause. His face was obstructed too. Everybody looked so unfamiliar and foreign to her, just like how it was back in her freshman years. Just like how it was back in her sophomore years. Just like how it was back before Borealis.
The scene suddenly shifted again, and now she was hanging off a cliff ledge in the snow. A giant mountain towered above her in the distance, and an obelisk that glowed blue floated atop it. She tried her best to pull herself up, but she felt too weak. Tears dripped down her face, and she felt something warm gush out of her chest. She looked down to see a fatal wound, and she felt dizzy just looking at it.
She felt the snow crunch above her, and then she saw a man looking down upon her. He had a soft expression on his face, and he had jet black hair that created a mullet. Just like Samuel, but not exactly. He wore a gold heart necklace that sparkled gently like a star.
“Borealis…” she whispered softly.
Borealis looked at Aurora and frowned in disapproval.
“Where is your necklace?” Borealis sneered as he clenched his fists. Aurora reached for her neck, but didn’t feel the cold touch of gold on her fingertips. She turned pale as she realized what she had done to it before going to sleep.
Thrown it away for some lookalike of his.
“Please, Borealis,” Aurora pleaded as she struggled to hold on, “I- I know I shouldn’t have, I-”
“QUIT IT!” Borealis shouted. Aurora almost slipped off, “You disgust me. Just look at yourself. Falling for some emotionless FREAK who doesn’t even care about anyone except himself. And you leave me behind, just because I died? How would I feel if I were alive and I saw you frolicking around with some other man?”
“But he’s just like you…”
“I DON’T CARE!” Borealis screamed. The wind got more intense, and Aurora felt herself growing weaker and weaker. He just needed him to understand.
“I’ve done so much for you, and this is what I get in return?” Borealis asked with anger written across his face, “You know what Aurora? I think you deserve to die.”
Borealis walked away, and Aurora wailed as she plummeted to her demise, down in the deep sea blue…

Aurora gasped as she jolted up from her sleeping bag. She was sweating bullets, and her body felt hot and bothered. Suddenly her skin felt like needles pricking her, and she pulled her white graduation bandana off her hair and put it to the side.
“What was that… Nightmare about?” Aurora wondered as she looked to the right. Neddy and Ruby were gone from their sleeping bags. Aurora looked to her left and noticed Samuel was gone too. She let out a sigh, as she huddled up in her bag again.
“That, that didn’t feel good,” Aurora muttered as she shut her eyes tight.
The door burst open suddenly, and Aurora crawled into her sleeping bag, not wanting to be seen by Samuel. She didn’t want to look him in the eye after what happened last night, what he had said to her.
“Why are you hiding there? It’s almost noon and the others are preparing to leave to tame new creatures at any moment.”
It wasn’t Samuel, it was Ben. Aurora took a peek and saw him standing at the doorway without a care in the world. He had his usual outfit on, but he had plants adorning his arms.
“No reason. I don’t feel like going out,” Aurora replied as she held onto her sleeping bag tightly. Ben let out a huff, annoyed.
“Fine. I’ll tell the others you’ve become sick and need recovering.”
“Thanks for that,” Aurora replied. Ben turned around to leave, but before he did he said one more thing.
“Oh, and by the way?”
“Yeah?”
“Next time you have a nightmare, quit screaming in your sleep. It kept me up all night. I suggest you get whatever you have on your mind sorted out or else this is going to become a problem.”
Ben shut the door before Aurora could speak. Aurora looked to the side to see that gold heart locket she had tossed to the side last night. The one Borealis had given for their anniversary. She outstretched her arm and picked it up, gently bringing it to her and clicking a button on the bottom. It opened up in half, revealing a photo of the two of them together at school, proudly displaying their report cards.
She felt herself tearing up. Borealis had passed away, and this is what she does to him?
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” Aurora muttered as she held the locket close to her chest. She sat up, clutched her eyes tight, and began to heave her body up and down as she sobbed her regrets away, “I’m sorry…”
