Edit: I changed my mind. I finished my second part of my oneshot and simply added it into this chapter. Enjoy. :D


The weather is decent and the night sky is clear outside the mansion. Lewis, the gentleman he is, gets the great idea to take Vivi out for a stroll in the moonlight. Ever since she found her way back to him again, he's wanted nothing more than to love her and show her he loves her in any and all ways he can. Of course, he wants to get his revenge on Arthur for pushing him off the cliff in the cave, but Vivi is more important than anything to him. She doesn't remember him, but that's all the more reason for him to want to win her over all over again.

Vivi is walking home from her job as a computer tech support employee late at night when Lewis surprises her with his appearance. It almost surprises her to see him, even though he's a ghost.

"Hello Vivi. I've got a proposition for you," Lewis says slightly flirtatiously as he takes her hand raises it to his non-existent lips to kiss her knuckles. This gesture makes Vivi blush, followed by a smile. Internally, Lewis cheers ecstatically that he made her smile.

"And what would this proposition inquire, Lewis?" Vivi beams with a slight blush and a smile on her face. Oh, Lewis sure does love that look on her face. Seeing it on her face reminded him of the good ol' days of when he was alive.

"Would you like to take a stroll around outside the mansion in the moonlight with me?" Lewis asks, nervous as can be. He thinks of it like a date, but also, kind of just a chance to talk to her and possibly flirt with her into falling in love with her all over again. They never were together as a couple, but he knew she had feelings for him somehow. After taking a minute to think it over, Vivi accepts his invitation with a smile.

"Are you trying to ask me on a date, Lewis?" Vivi teases him, playfully hitting his arm. Lewis just blushes bright pink, shy as can be, and this makes Vivi giggle to herself. He really does find her so adorable when she giggles like that, which makes him smile a bit.

"Then, it's a date. Shall we go now?" Vivi suggests, adjusting her bag over her shoulder like a messenger bag. She catches him swipe a stray bit of her hair away from her face, which Vivi finds cute of him. Even with no memory of him, she thinks he's awful cute and pleasant to be around. Unlike most living people, ghost or not, he's different. She feels more relaxed around him, like she can be herself with him and he'd still find something good about her. Lewis, instead of answering her question, hugs her and lifts her up in his arms as he floats the two of them to the mansion. Once there, he sets her on her feet once more. He offers her his hand in the gentlest manner he can.

"Shall we?" Lewis croons gracefully, nodding toward the pathway into the forest. Vivi takes his hand nervously and nods with a smile. She's unsure of her safety in the forest, but somehow, she trusts that he wouldn't let anything or anyone harm her. As they walk into the forest, Lewis senses her nerves and rubs his thumb over hers in their interlaced hands to try and comfort her. He'd never let her go anywhere dangerous with him if he couldn't handle protecting her. He knows that their destination will help her calm down once they get through this small patch of forest.

"So if you don't mind, why can't I remember anything about you? I mean, you seem familiar, but I can never quite figure out why though," Vivi asks nervously. She's trying so hard not to offend Lewis, but she's been trying to piece together why he was so gentle with her the first time she, Mystery, and Arthur walked into the mansion.

"Well, that's a long story. When I died, I knew you'd be in pain, so I took away your memory of me completely to spare you from mourning over me," Lewis explains sadly. He hates that he had to do that to her to begin with, but he loves her too much to let her suffer because Arthur took him from her. When he sees Vivi shed a tear as she tries to process this, he gently squeezes her hand to comfort her. It kills him to see her so worried and frustrated over anything like this.

"How important were you to me, Lewis? You had to have known that much and I trust your answer," Vivi asks the gentle giant of a ghost who held her hand so gently. And she does trust him already because he knows of their past while she does not. She wants to make sure she knows what she's getting herself into before she's in this too deep to walk away without pain.

"We were best friends, Vivi. We did practically everything together, and I had a huge crush on you," Lewis explains, blushing a bit, "I hid it because I was shy and didn't know if you liked me like that. In fact, I was going to even confess my feelings, but I was murdered before I could." Vivi blushes at his answer to her question and Lewis tightens his grip on her hand just slightly, worried. She could sense this, so she squeezed his hand a bit.

"It's okay, Lewis. I may not know how I felt back then, but I know how I do now. I think it's very possible that I could have liked you back because I kinda like you as you are now. I feel like I know you already, like my trust in you could be from my locked away memories that I can't recall," Vivi says, blushing as much as Lewis, if not more. Lewis looks her over, trying to make sure he heard her correctly. Vivi steps closer to Lewis and kisses his cheek bone, feeling a little brave. For once, she was following her own heart instead of just the facts. Lewis blushes bright pink and Vivi giggles at how shy he is being. He even attempts to hide his face behind his large free hand, since he doesn't want to let go of Vivi's hand. Lewis's golden heart skips a beat happily. Moments later, the two reach their mystery destination, an old, well-groomed garden. There are flowers and hedging all over the place. Lewis leads Vivi to a marble bench and gestures for her to sit with him there. He holds her face between his two hands as he kisses her forehead. Before Vivi can react, memories race to her of the last time they were in this very garden.

"Lew-Lew, look at these flowers!" Vivi exclaims as she sees radiant bluebell flowers. Lewis smiles at her and picks one of the tiny flowers, sliding it into her hair. Vivi can't help but giggle at the gesture because she finds it so sweet.

"How do I look?" she asks, faking a pose as if she were a model. She then is pulled into Lewis' arms for a warm hug as he chuckles a bit. They were standing in the tiny white gazebo that was surrounded by flowers and hedging. Lewis takes her face in his hands and kisses her forehead before looking at her once more.

"Vivi, you look beautiful," Lewis states warmly, blushing slightly as he smiles at her.

This made Vivi shy as she blushed quite a bit, so she buried her face in Lewis' shoulder. She nuzzles his shoulder, but she feels too shy to act on what was going on around them. Instead of forcing her, Lewis just nuzzles her head on his shoulder and holds her firmly in his arms. Now, he's glad that he brought her this old Victorian garden he found while wandering around the forest in such clear, warm weather. He just knew she'd love it there because it was so scenic and beautiful, which was why he went there every so often to make sure everything was nice and trim. He wants so badly to kiss her, but he respects her too much to force her to do anything she isn't comfortable doing. If only she knew how he feels about her…

Vivi looks up at Lewis in recognition. Tears welled up in her eyes as she smiled sadly.

"Lewis, I remember the first time you brought me here," She finally says, placing her hand on the side of Lewis' skull. In that single memory, she felt her emotions toward him and how much she missed him already. She's glad that it was a happy memory, but it was more than enough to make her feel again. She was crying silently, and she didn't even know why. Vivi didn't even notice she'd been shedding tears until Lewis wiped away her tears and looked at her with concern. She wrapped her arms around him and buried her face into his shoulder as she continued to cry. Lewis just held her in his arms and rubbed her back gently.

"There are not words for what you just experienced, but I know exactly what you mean. I did that to trigger the memories you have of being here with me. That's why I brought you here; to show you a good time we had here before. I'm here, Vivi, and I'm not going anywhere," Lewis whispers to Vivi, trying to comfort her. He, then, picks her up in his arms and floats back to the mansion. Lewis carries her up to one of the bedrooms and tucks her into bed. He continues to hold her while she cries until she finally falls asleep. In the moonlight that shines through the window, Lewis spends many hours admiring how beautiful she is until he joins her in slumber.
