"Sun, would you just tell me where we are going?" Blake asked.

"The point of a surprise is that you don't know what is coming, Blake." He replied.

Sun was walking Blake with her eyes covered by a blindfold. Guiding her with one of his hands gently rested on the lower back of her back.

"Somebody is going to think you are kidnapping me." Blake replied "I can walk with my eyes closed if you ask me to."

"Yeah. Kidnapping someone in broad daylight. Someone armed." Sun replied "I don't trust you on this one."

Blake let out a protest under her breath but said nothing more. After a while, she heard the sound of a mechanical door open and Sun guided her up a ramp.

The door closed again as Blake sat on a cushioned bench. She felt the airship level up, stabilize and descend.

"Sun..?" Blake attempted.

"Hold it on for a few more seconds." he replied, taking her hand and guiding her out of the ship.

Blake stood on a ground cushioned by leaves. "The forest?"

"It's a surprise remember?" Sun replied, pulling from her hand. "Now walk, we are still a way away from our destination."

Blake obeyed, albeit hesitantly. "And where are we going that I will need Gambol Shroud?"

"Stop trying to guess and let yourself get carried away by the adventure." Sun replied annoyed "It will be fun."

"I don't have good experience with the whole 'letting yourself get carried away' on someone's else plans."

She continued advancing, guided by his hand. Her nose captured a sweet smell in the air. And, as Sun stopped, her ears twitched under her bow at the sound of a train passing by somewhere below them.

She heard him stand behind her. Sun removed the blindfold from her eyes and the scenery of Forever Fall revelled itself in front of her.

They were standing on the boundary of a clearing in the middle of the forest. In the centre of it, there was a rock. A very familiar rock.

Blake stood frozen in her place, with her mouth open agape.

"So, I finally figured where we could have a date without risking anyone interrupting us. It's not like it's dangerous, we are training to be hunters…. and even if I'm not that good, you are an ace flash." Sun was rambling nervously behind her. "I researched really hard on how to organise the perfect date. And, I made sure not to ask Neptune for advice. I watched this whole bunch of romantic series and there was one thing in common among all the ultimate romantic scenes between the protagonist and the love of their life." Sun walked in front of her holding his index up as he exclaimed triumphantly "A forest of trees letting fall pink petals onto the air constantly! I mean, I know these are not petals neither they are pink, but it's close enough. Right?" He turned towards Blake.

She was looking past him, as if lost in thought. It occurred to Sun she looked somehow disturbed.

"Is everything all right Blake?" Sun asked nervously, as he took a step closer to her, trying to catch her attention "Is there something bad about this place?"

Blake shook out of her stupor. Her gaze fixated on Sun and then back on the clearing behind him. She noticed two smaller rocks at each side of the main one, as to be used as seats. All three were covered with cloths. A black cloth for the big rock and smaller yellow ones for the seats. The trees surrounding the clearing were decorated with garlands and wreaths.

A smile formed on Blake lips. Perhaps the geographic location was the same, but the place had certainly changed. She returned her gaze towards Sun.

"Not anymore." she replied taking his hand.

Sun matched her smile. With his free hand, he pulled from a rope hanging from a nearby tree. A basket fell off and he caught it easily.

Motioning towards the improvised table and chair set, he spoke. "Then, my queen, shall we have our repast?"
