She sat there fiddling with her hair. She had braided it, unbraided it, braided it again, and finally unbraided it again. She walked around her house wondering what she would do.
What if he didn't come? She looked over at the plate of Finest Curry getting cold. It would kill her if he didn't come.
She pulled her blonde hair into a ponytail and sat down on her bed. He had gone off again and she didn't know if he had gotten caught or not.
She stood up and looked out the window. The sun was setting and the moon was rolling in. He only appeared during the night but he promised to come early.
She went over to her bag and pulled out a blue feather. She gotten it a while ago, but didn't have the courage to give it to him; to give it to Skye.
She put the feather down and opened the door. She left her house and went off. She saw Celia and Marlin heading inside. Rock gave Lumina a good-bye kiss and went inside the Inn. Muffy and Griffin were just opening up the Blue Bar.
She turned around to head back to her farm. He wasn't coming. He had broken his promise. A tear slid down her face and she ran inside before the tears started streaming down her face.
When she got inside she wiped her tears and locked the door. She put the Finest Curry in the fridge and sat down on her bed and opened a book.
He was a thief. He wasn't going to return her love. He was just going to steal something from her house.
She fell asleep reading her book. She didn't hear the lock on door being picked. He entered in to her house and looked around. He saw the blue feather. He picked it up and carefully held it. She planned on giving him it. But he was so stupid and had come late.
He turned his head and the scent of Finest Curry slid past his nose. He went over to the fridge and opened it and there it was; his favorite dish. He didn't touch it even though it was tempting too. He closed the fridge and looked over at her. She was sleeping there so peacefully.
He walked over and placed the blue feather on her open book. He brushed his lips across hers and turned around to leave. He felt something grab his shirt. When he looked to see what it was he was surprised that she had woken up.
"You broke your promise Skye."
"I'm sorry Claire. But I had urgent business to attend to."
"I'm sure you did. Why can't you just stop being a thief? Come and visit me more often?"
"Because, my dear Claire. I don't want you to get hurt being with me. I'm sure you can find someone else."
"Everyone else has somebody. Marlin and Celia, Rock and Lumina, Nami and-" He kissed her just to shut her up.
"You can find somebody."
"No. I want you." She picked up the blue feather and held it out to him.
"I guess I can't reject can I?"
"I hope you won't." He took to feather and held her tightly. He could still be with her. Just as long as he kept the stealing to a minimum, she would be happy.
