Goodbyes are Sappy
Dave huffed as he crashed through the door of the roof. Behind him he carried a large wooden trunk (that Balthazar had given to him) full of his clothes and sorts. It was heavy empty, now it's ridiculous! David took a deep breath of fresh air. A bead of sweat fell onto his nose; lugging a hundred pound suitcase was not easy, especially since Dave couldn't use magic.
The apprentice looked at the steel eagle, the eagle that taken him on so many journeys. Sadly, the eagle was set in place at this moment, not even a flicker of life showed in the birds steely cold eyes.
So, Dave sat on his trunk, his breaths still rapid and heavy. He looked out over the horizon, the sun was setting over the many towering buildings of New York City. The man was in such a trance, he didn't even notice the little ring that the elevator made.
"Hey, when's your ride going to get here?" A soft voice, almost a whisper, came from behind David. Becky Barnes was one of the most beautiful people in the world, according to David Stutler.
Startled, Dave jumped up and faced the one he loved. "Well, um, when it gets here..." Dave stuttered nervously. He actually had no clue, who or when his ride would arrive to take him to England. "I hope it gets here soon though...Oh! But not too soon..." David corrected himself from his little flub.
Becky only laughed. She took a step closer to her boyfriend. "You know, I always would wonder, did you use magic to get back my bracelet?" She asked.
Dave scratched his head. "Um, well, I've been doing cardio...but, yes, I did use magic.." He answered truthfully.
Becky touched her lips to his, a smile on her face still. "That's what I thought." She said, breathless.
A small beeping sound erupted between the couple. Becky sighed sadly, and pressed a button her watch.
"I have to go, my show starts soon..." She said with reluctance, almost thinking of skipping her show to stay with Dave until his ride arrives.
"You-you go then. I'll be fine." Dave said, trying to keep his voice straight. But, he knew and Becky knew that he was lying completely; it would be a whole school year until he saw the girl again, both of them knew that. David Stutler did not want to leave Becky all alone, Horvath was still out there. So many things could happen to the girlfriend of the Prime Merlinian.
Becky smiled again. She gave Dave one last long kiss to remember her by. "Goodbye Dave, remember me. Okay?" She pushed her bracelet into his hand. "I'm going to miss you." She whispered, and started towards the elevator.
"I love you." David whispered. He was about to call it out to her, but her image disappeared as the elevator doors closed. "Bye Becky." He glanced down at the bracelet, the bracelet that made Becky fall for the physics nerd, David Stutler.
"I'm such a sap." David sat down on his trunk again, pondering many things while fiddling with his new acquisition.
A low and steady rumble was heard in the distance. Dave, growing up in the bustling city of New York didn't get startle at the noise at first. He knew the honking, and craziness, it's a daily thing for David Stutler. A loud motorcycle was passing by the building, nothing new to him. But, this is not an ordinary motorcycle.
A/N: This chapter is sooo sappy, and yes, I know the meaning of sap. I'm not the romantic fanatic, so sorry if they were a bit out of character. I think it is quite obvious who is going to appear in the next chapter, so please review! (Chapter edited on 1/8/2013)
