Golden Sun - Hearts and Minds

He had been thinking about it all night. He didn't know what to do as he let his mind wander whilst he gazed up into the night sky. Usually he would have been thinking of Jenna when he did this but now. Now something was different. He knew Jenna had never really liked him like that, and who could blame her. Issac was probably the better choice compare to him, but that had never stopped him from trying.

However now things were different. All Garet could think about was Mia. He hadn't really thought of her as more than a friend until recently. When he first saw her he thought she was pretty but had thought no more of it as he was too occupied with saving Jenna. But lately he'd been noticing her more. Sometimes he's eyes might accidently wander to where she was standing before he even noticed. 'What should i do?' he wondered.

He didn't even know how she felt about him. Garet let out a long sigh, a sure sign that you're in love. Just as he did this a voice from behind him spoke,

"Garet! What are you doing up here this late at night?"

Garet froze. He recognized that soft, angelic voice. And sure enough when he turned around he saw her. She was standing there, her white silk gown covering her body and her long blue hair swaying in the slight sea breeze.

Garet looked at Mia and then quickly looked away as he turned red. "Umm I had something on my mind and I couldn't sleep. What about you? What are you doing up on the deck?"

The ship was resting off the shores of Atteka as the group prepared to face Felix the next day. This is the main reason for Garet's worries, would he still feel the same about Mia when he saw Jenna or was he just trying to replace her while she was gone.

However seeing Mia standing there threw away all of his doubts in an instant. Of course he loved her. How could he not? She was so kind and gentle and beautiful. He only had eyes for her.

Mia looked down her face turning red as well. She too had realized her feelings much sooner than Garet had noticed his. However she knew better than to say anything, she knew that he liked Jenna and would never look twice at her.

"I couldn't sleep either. I guess I'm just nervous about climbing Jupiter Lighthouse tomorrow." She replied. This was completely untrue however. Mia had also been thinking about her love life and had come to look at the ocean to make her feel better.

Mia walked towards the edge of the boat where Garet was standing and stood next to him.

Garet was getting more nervous with each passing second, although they seemed to him to be much longer than seconds.

Should he tell her? Now was the perfect time. They were all alone, he could tell her now. But he was worried. What if she didn't feel the same? What if she liked Issac too? Would he have to spend the rest of his life in his shadow? Would Mia still want to be friends if she felt differently?

Garet decided then that if he kept questioning himself he would never amount to anything! But now he had the problem of telling her.

Mia was looking up at the sky staring at the stars. Garet swallowed hard as he looked at her. He needed all of his courage just to speak to her. But it was Mia who spoke first.

"It's a beautiful night" she said.

"Huh? Oh yeah, yeah it is." Garet quickly responded nervously. "It's hard to believe that we'll be going into battle tomorrow"

"I know" Mia sighed "We might end up fighting Felix. But is that what you want?" she asked.

Garet stared at her trying to understand her, but of course it's always hard for any guy to understand what a girl's feeling, so he just asked her instead.

"What do you mean Mia?"

Mia looked down at the water below, her hair fell across her face so she tucked it behind her ear as she said, "Well Felix is Jenna's brother isn't he? Won't it be hard for you to fight him if it means hurting, or worse, fighting Jenna as well?"

Garet replied slowly, to make sure she could read the sub-text in his voice, "Well yeah, Jenna's my friend and I don't want to hurt her but it will probably be harder on Issac. He's the one who loves her."

Mia looked at him. She was trying to be sure that she had understood him. 'Friend, but doesn't he love her? Is he just denying it or does he really not like her anymore?' So she decided to be courageous and ask him.

"What about you though?" She asked "Don't you love Jenna too?"

What should he do should he tell her? He couldn't stop now though. He had chosen to tell her, he couldn't just give up.

"I thought I did but now I'm not so sure. I think..." He paused. Now was the time. He had to tell her. "I...I love you Mia!" He looked away as his face turn even more bright red. He heard Mia gasp but he couldn't bear to look. What if it had all been in vain? What would he do?

Mia was shocked! Was she dreaming? Did Garet just say that? 'He loves me' She thought 'It's too good to be true! I have to tell him how I feel now.'

Mia put her hand on the side of his face. He looked up at her in disbelieve. She moved closer to him and whispered "I love you too Garet."

And before either of them knew it they were kissing under the moonlight.
