The sun's warm rays were shining upon the gentle waves of the sky-blue ocean. It was breathtaking. I looked to my side and felt as soft hand grab mine. "Miss Hikari. . ." A soft voice whispered in my ear. A lightly-tanned man brushed his finger against my hair. His golden and emerald colored eyes stared right into mine. I could feel his silky, grey hair tickle my forehead. My face flushed furiously as I was face to face with him. ". . . Miss Hikari. . . "He said again, his cold breath touching my pale skin. How breathtaking. "I. . . "

. . . . . .

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beeeeeep!!

I groaned. Finn was peeking out of the teacup (his bed) that was set on the kitchen table. He scratched his eye. "Hikari. . . You should really get a new alarm clock."

I scratched my eye, as well. My hand began to ruffle through my curly and puffy hair. "Yes, I'm sorry, Finn. Maybe we'll stop by the General Store later." I carried my tired feet to the side of the bed and just sat there. What a nice dream. . . Who was that man again? I forgot. It was annoying how you always forget what you dreamt after you woke up. But anyway, he was going to say something. . . What was he going to say? Finally, I got some motivation to stand up and stretch. I opened up my drawer and pulled out a sport shortsleeves outfit with a purple beanie hat. I then turned on the television and walked to the kitchen to make Finn and myself breakfast.

"Hikari! They said tomorrow is the Flower Festival. Who will you ask out?" Finn was waving his arms frantically. He's so adorable.

I poured coffee into my cup, humming once in a while. "We'll wait and see, Finn."

Finn sighed as he laid his tiny head against the smooth surface of the teacup. "I bet you'll ask out Wizard. You practically spend half your time with him every single day!"

At that moment, I paused. Wizard? Was he . . . ? It couldn't be. But, would Wizard be that man in my dreams? It's certainly impossible, it must be. How can he suddenly appear in my dreams, and at this time? He's a good friend, in my opinion. However, as I recall the scenes of the dream, the tips of my ear began to burn. His cold breath, those irresistible eyes. . . Wizard.

"AGH! Hikari! You're spilling the coffee!" Finn screamed.

Oops. I guess I was spacing out. I grabbed a paper towel and wiped the floor as the coffee continuously overflowed from the cup. Once I was finished, I ended up putting my empty cup in the sink. So much for the coffee, but I guess I could make it through the night. I turned off the television and opened the door. Finn followed me as we both exited the house.

. . . . .

"Good Morning, Calvin. Kathy. Luna. Candace. Gill. Jin." I waved to everyone, "Toby. Paolo. Simon. Ozzie. Pascal." And so on. . .

Soon, I stopped at Wizard's house. My eyes were glued to the door knob. My mind was competing whether or not I should ask Wizard out. Should I ask Wizard out? We'd be going as friends, anyway. Nothing more. Then again, I freak out if he rejects me. I would never let the rejection go. But going out with Wizard helps me learn more about him, things I never knew. Finn was sighing. "Just go ask him already, would you?!" He yelled at me. And so, I opened the door and walked in.

"Good morning. . . Miss Hikari. . . "It's Wizard's voice. Such a captivating sound. "Is there something you need . . . ?"

A sweat rolled down my cheek. Finn started flapping his arms around impatiently. Clearly, he doesn't understand that I am going under pressure here. I blushed furiously, the heels of my shoe were rocking back and forth, and I started squirming in place. "I. . . Uh. . ." My bangs started to cover my eyes. I couldn't bear to look at him, otherwise, I might faint.

Wizard walked to me, his face filled with worry. The palm of his hand pressed up against my sweaty forehead. "Miss Hikari. . . Are you okay?"

I felt the tips of my ears burn again. He's so close! My feet staggered backwards as I slammed against the door. His expression was clearly confused to my embarrassed actions. But I must say it. . . I must ask him out! And so, I took a deep breath.

"Wizard . . . !!" I gulped and blinked a few times. ". . . Good . . . Morning. . ." The words escaped my mouth. I couldn't say it, after all. To me, I was a complete wimp with no courage whatsoever.

Wizard stood there for a while, simply staring at me. "Is. . . That so?" He said. "If you have nothing more to say. . . Is it okay if I say something?"

I nodded. He must be asking me to leave. I'm weird, after all. I closed my eyes, preparing for the worse.

Silence was all there was between us. I didn't dare to open one eye because I was scared. Rejection from a good friend was something I couldn't accept. But running away wasn't an option. I have to take this and be brave.

"Would you. . . "I turned the knob of the door, getting ready to leave as he will command.". . . Go to the Flower Festival with me?" Unconsciously, I opened the door and fell backwards from shock. No, he didn't ask me to leave but asked me to go out with him tomorrow. I was doubting him. I'm such a mean friend.

Wizard ran towards me as I fell face-first on the concrete floor. "Miss Hikari. . . ?" I felt his hand softly touch my hair, his head lying against my back. "Ah good. You're still alive. . ." His hands lifted me up into a sitting position. Gently, he brushed off the dirt from my face. Then, stared at my eyes with a serious expression. "Well. . . Would you . . . ?"

Oh right. He asked me if I could go to the Flower Festival with him. Slowly, my excitement began to rumble up within me. Almost like a volcano waiting to explode. How can I not accept him? I nodded vigorously. "Of course I will!!"

Surprised, Wizard's frown turned into a smile. "Thank goodness. . . I was scared you'd reject me." A small taint of pink appeared on his cheek. Wizard was so delicate and fragile. He was scared, just like me. Soon enough, he's gaze looked elsewhere, the ground. "I. . . I'll see you at seven at night tomorrow." He waved and went inside his house. I can tell he was embarrassed after saying that to me. How cute.

It was night time now, and I got in my pajamas. Finn prepared his pillow and blanket and slept inside his teacup again. "See, Hikari? That wasn't so bad!" He said. "Even though you messed up, he still asked you out!"

True, it was very true. I was so happy. My heart was bursting with happiness and excitement. I wonder if I can even sleep tonight.

. . . . .

It was five in the afternoon now. I waited at the Church Grounds, preparing a spot for Wizard and me. Finally, I laid a blanket where I could see the ocean view. It was getting dark, of course, so carefully I lit a scented candle. I sat on the blanket, constantly checking on my watch now and then. The waiting bored me to death, so I began to lie down on the blanket, my eyes shutting down.

". . . Kari . . ." A voice spoke.

"Mi. . . Ari. . ." It spoke again.

"Miss Hikari. . ." Then, a gentle breeze was blown against my ear, causing me to flinch. Abruptly, my eyes flashed open. Wizard was looming over me. He must be the one who was blowing on my ear. "Miss Hikari, look. . . "His slender finger pointed up and soon, a rapid flow of pink was swirling against the night, starry sky. I reached up, grabbing a cherry blossom petal.

"It's beautiful." I said. Wizard nodded, smiling. Such a beautiful scene, especially with Wizard. How I will never forget this day.

As we watched, I noticed a bunch of petals on the ground near us; unfortunately, a quick, strong wind blew the petals right at my face. Wizard chuckled softly. He brushed the petals off my hair and face. It felt good, his hand rubbing against my face. But what I didn't expect was his fingers intertwining with my fingers. His golden and emerald eyes staring at me, as his silky, grey hair tickling my cheek.

"Miss Hikari. . ." His soft voice whispered, a cold breath escaping. "Oh, Miss Hikari. . ." He repeated. Was Wizard's voice always so . . .? Attractive? Since when was his eyes sparkling ever so much? And why, why was he blushing?

Now that I remember, I had a dream. . . A dream of Wizard and me in a situation like this. It was so familiar. Was it a coincidence? I wish it wasn't. But right now, if this was a dream, it felt so real. My hand touched the brown, soft skin of his face. I felt his hair, smoothing it down. A tear rolled down my cheek.

"This is a dream, isn't it?" More tears ran down, but I still smiled. "Please tell me it's a dream!"

Wizard still remained emotionless, his eyes never blinking. "It's not, Miss Hikari. . . It's not. And to prove it. . ." In a quick flash, I felt a soft touch against my lips. Unbelievable, I was still crying and soon enough, my eyes began to close again. I guess crying took away all my energy.

. . . . .

The next morning, I found myself in bed. It was a dream, after all. I sniffled. Finn was quietly snoring in his teacup while I was just sitting there, crying over a dream. I slid over my bed and walked to the kitchen. It was then I spotted a candle and a neatly folded blanket. My eyes widened. Quickly, I went in front of the mirror. Peeking out of the strands of hair was a cherry-blossom. A pink cherry-blossom.

A/N: Forgive me! This is my first story ever! I stayed up all night typing, editing, and previewing. I also had to debate whether I should do Ignis (Harvest Goddess), Luke, Chase, or Wizard with Molly/Hikari. I ended up with Wizard. In the future, I might do other pairings such as Chelsea and other bachelors.

Anyway, I felt like it needs more details or something. But overall, I thought it was pretty good. Then again, Wizard's personality in this story doesn't seem like. . . Wizard. You know? Nevermind. I'll try to improve later on. xD

Please leave nice comments. This is my first anyway! :3
