As always, they appeared to me in my dreams. The mysterious trio that throughout my life had been with me through it all, good and bad. They knew everything about me, and I them. The only things we didnt know, were names and where everyone lived, and what they looked like.

The four of us were best friends even though we had never met. The only times I had heard them were when I was asleep or in times of intense pain or sorrow, which for me, that was often.

This time was different, though, for once we could see each other. Gone were the blurry patches where their bodies should be. I saw their faces in perfect clairity. All but me and one other were males.

The other female, whose name was Natalie, was about my height, 5'5". She looked around 140-145 lbs, long dark brown hair, and had eyes so dark they looked black.

The males, Adam and Jason, were brothers, so they looked basically the same. Both had long blonde hair, Adam had blue/green colored eyes, while Jason's were a clear cold shade of blue that made you feel as if he were looking deep into your very soul.

As we appeared one by one in each other's dreams, I saw Jason. He was standing near Adam and Natalie, but they were not looking at him. They were staring intently at each other.

I approached them silenty, and Jason turned to me. I stopped in my tracks, as did he. We both stood there, staring at each other as Adam and Natalie were.

After a few minutes a voice broke the spell. It was a voice we had only heard once a long time ago when we first started hearing and talking to each other. Then all she had dont was introduce us, and after that we were left to ourselves to do as we wished with our newly acquired abilities.

"You are all wondering why you are here." It was not a question. All four of us turned in the direction the voice was coming from. The voice was decidedly female, and sounded as if she was very old. At our nods she continued. "You four have been chosen as soul mates, the only group chosen in over 400,000 years. From this point on you are linked to your partner, who was chosen the day you were born. Both physically and mentally you will now be able to communicate with each other when ever you wish, day or night. No more will we monitor your meetings, You will be free to share anything you wish.." You could hear the smile in her voice as she continued, "Adam and Natalie, You have been blessed with each other, be happy and love one another unconditionally." She paused slightly before continuing, "Jennifer and Jason...You are the chosen two... You were made for each other in every way, and yet...." Another pause, as we just stood there, staring after the voice before we finally turned to each other. Then she continued. "You will encounter heartache in the future, for you must prove to us that you are worthy of each other...You will have Five tests of your love before you will have complete happiness...Both couples will have to find it in themselves to love their partner without bounds and no restrictions or doubts..." a small breeze drifted through the room, that felt as if someone were caressing their faces. Then it was over. Everything disappeared and I awoke lying safe in my room, staring at the ceiling. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Part I Chapter 2 I got out of bed, glancing at the clock as I made my way to the door. 12:07 a.m. I still had a good 5 1/2 hours before I had to get up. I went to the kitchen and got myself a glass of water. Lying back in my bed staring at the ceiling once more, all I could think of was what I had just experienced. What did all this mean? What did I do with it? I didnt know, but I was sure going to do what I could to make the best stab at it as possible. Just as I was drifting off, I heard someone calling my name, at first I just thought it was a dream as it so often was, but it kept calling me over and over again. By this time, I was really freaking out. Then it occured to me what I had learned earlier from the mysterious voice in my dream. I tried talking back to it, not out loud mind you, I didn't want my mom or anyone else overhearing and sending me to the looney bin. *"Jason? Is that you?"*, I asked silently, hoping it was so I wouldn't feel so stupid for talking to myself. *"Jenn? Hey, Yea, its me, Jason. Thought we should try this out."* he said laughing softly. *"Yea, but do you have to scare me to death, I was almost asleep."* I said trying to make him feel guilty, which worked. *"Oh...I'm sorry...I'll let you sleep if you want..."* he said quietly. *"No, its ok, I guess we should talk about this sometime, and now's a good a time as any."* *"Yea...So, do you want me to fly down there this week so we can let the world know we're meant for each other? Or should I wait? Or maybe We should just forget about it, and...and....and...."* He got quiet then, so I took that to mean he didn't want me. *"Whats Wrong Jason?"* I asked him, silently praying he did want me. *"Nothing, its just that I never met my soul-mate before and I'm kinda nervous about this whole thing"* he said. I sighed, *"Well, if you want, we could just talk like this until you and me are both ready to meet in person? Would that work?"* He laughed, *"I don't think it would, I want to see you in person so bad...but...maybe it would be best if we wait...you know to cool off for a while and get used to this idea..."* *"You know, I dont even know your last name or anything else about you."* I suddenly realized. *"I just realized the same thing. We dont even know each other's birthday, or middle names. Maybe we should at least get that out of the way before I get there, huh?"* *"Ok, I'll start, My middle name is Leigh, I was born on September 23, 1980, in Tifton Georgia, My mom's name is Barbara, My dad's name is Grady, I have one sister, and two half brothers. I enjoy reading, sleeping, and spending time on the internet." I said trying not to laugh. *"Ok, smart ass, My middle name is Shawn, I was born on November 30, 1976 in Keltchner Ontario Canada. I only have Adam as a "Brother", but we're not really brothers, were just best friends that claim to be brothers, and everyone believes us, so we don't bother correcting anyone anymore. I don't know who my parents are, I was put up for adoption when I was 2 and basically grew up in homes all over Ontario."* he took a deep breath and waited for me to say something. *"Well, that solves one problem, but we still dont know what each other do for a living."* I said. *"Well, I'm what you call a traveling man, I speand at least 300 days out of the year on the road. you arent going to believe me when I tell you, but I guess you have a right to know. I'm a wrestler. Do you watch wrestling?"* he asked. *"More than I should actually, 5 out of 7 days a week there's wrestling on tv at my house and the other two I have tapes to watch."* I laughed. *"Which one do you watch most often?"* *"WWF, but I do watch WCW and ECW sometimes....Why?"* I asked wondering if I already knew him. *"Well....I kinda work for WWF...."* He paused. *"......."* I sat there, stunned. *"See, i told you you wouldnt believe me...."* he said. *"Noone ever does.."* Suddenly, I scene flashed before my eyes, it was that of a blonde guy, coming down through the crowd, wearing black tights with crosses on the sides, and a see through black sleeveless shirt. Then the dream from earlier that night flashed through my mind. It was Jason, or Christian under his stage name. *"Christian Cage, right?"* I asked. *"You believe me?"* I laughed, *"Honey, I more than believe you, I don't know if you'll believe this, but I've been Christian's biggest fan for alittle over 3 years now."* *"Youre kidding?!"* *"Nope, Ask anyone that knows me, Honey, youre on my walls, keychains, and all over my computer and websites..."* *"Well, then there is no need to worry about you liking me for my money, huh?"* he said laughing. We talked for over 2 hours arranging for him to come town within the next few days and for us to meet. I was so nervous when the day finally came I couldn't even eat. Mom kept asking what was wrong, but I couldnt bring myself to tell her that her daughter was going looney because her Soul-Mate was coming to town today, and Guess what!? We were gonna get married and we havent even met yet....She'd send me to the looney bin for sure. When the time came for me to go for my planned walk, I left the house and headed to the old abandoned store down from my house. This was where we were going to meet. I sat there a good hour, before I saw a car turn in the parking lot. And wouldnt you know, my world went dark as soon as his blonde head started poking out of the car and I hit the ground....
