Well... here's Chapter two. I'm trying to not make this story go so quickly, so this will mainly still

be about Hikari x Toby, with just the introduction of Gale.

Also, I've decided to start switching P.O.V on somethings, I think it helps to tell a story.

I'll do it for this chapter, and let me know what you think. I'll mark it with a # okay?

Also, when I switch to the Wizards, P.O.V, he'll be referred to as 'Gale'.

That picture of Toby & Hikari from the last Chapter, FF wont let me change it, sorry.
So just check out my DA account for it, it's the only one there, as of January 9th 2011.

My account is the same here, MahouWoTsukauHime :)

Important! FF will not allow any changes to my stories, and I don't know why.
Once I upload a document, I can make edits, but the will not appear. So I've been having to

re-upload documents, and hope it works. Also, it's removing some markings, so I apologize if things aren't marked like they should be, I'm trying my best.

The next days seemed to pass quickly, for Hikari, and they soon turned into months and seasons;

She and Toby hung out, and went to festivals together.

Soon, they were celebrating birthdays and other couple holidays, like new years, together.

It was getting around town, and they were soon considered a couple. Everyone began asking questions of when they thought they might get married, if they wanted children someday, ect cetra.

The mayor even told her she should start looking for a blue feather to propose with.

Hikari just humored everyone with the responses, she and Toby were just happy with how things were now, and they weren't ready for marriage just yet, let alone children.

Before she knew it, it was the Spring one again, Hikari really wanted to get something for Toby this birthday, this would be considered both a birthday present, and an anniversary gift-

but what would she get him?

* W *

Hikari tossed and turned in her bed, she couldn't sleep.

Toby's birthday was in less than a week, it'd also be their one year anniversary in a month.

Sure, they weren't married, but she really wanted to not only wow him on his birthday, but give him something he would love on their anniversary. But what?

She sat up, who could she ask about what Toby would like? Ozzie wouldn't be able to keep his mouth closed about a surprise for Toby if he knew why she was asking, and Paolo just didn't know.

Wait... she thought I met the Wizard a while back, isn't he a fortune teller, or something...?

"I could go ask him!" she suddenly shouted. She looked at her clock.

It was midnight, but she figured she would go check anyways. He could still be awake, right?

She nodded her head and jumped out of bed, and ran out the door, nearly tripping over her feet.

Though she was unable to sleep, she was tired, and figured she'd better walk instead of run,

lest she fall on her face.

Slowing to a walk, she looked up at the sky, it really was beautiful here at night.

She stretched and felt the slightly cool night air on her skin, it was refreshing and relaxing.

On the way to the Wizards house, she started thinking about how she would phrase what she'd like to know to the Wizard when asking him.

Should I ask him what Toby would like? What Toby might like to do? She thought,

She nodded. She'd just ask him that, it was pretty simple. She just hoped he'd be able to answer.

* W *

At the pace she was walking, she didn't get to the Wizards house until about 2:00 in the morning.

She knocked on his door and waited a moment, but no one answered. Maybe he was asleep?
Hikari turned the knob to the Wizards house, and the door opened. How strange, the door was open,

but it looked like no one was here.
"Hello?" Hikari called "Is... anyone home? Sorry for intruding..."

Hikari waited for an answer, but it was silent.

She turned on the light switch to the Wizards house and looked around. The Wizard was gone, but she thought she'd wait for him. He had to be back sooner or later, right? He didn't seem too much like a day person, so she decided he had to be back soon.

Gale looked through his Telescope at the Stars shinning above the Church. They really were beautiful, they always made him feel relaxed, and not worry about silly things that sometimes wandered in to his own mind. Nothing too important, but every once in a while he would dwell on the fact that he was alone. He liked being alone, true, because it made things a bit less complicated, but still, sometimes he wished he had someone to talk to, sometimes.

At times like those, he brought a small telescope to the church grounds and looked through it.

The breeze and night air just made the stars more pleasant to gaze at.

Around 2:30, he decided he would go home for the night, probably return the next.
Gale packed up his telescope and carried it in one hand, a book from his home in the other.

Turning down the path to his house and stopping at the door, a curious look crept on to his face.

His door was half open and the light was on inside. He not only wondered who would sneak in to his house, but for what reason?

Slowly, Gale opened the door and looked around to see Hikari looking at one of his books, and struggling to read it, seeing as it was in a foreign language.

"E-emp-pendi..." Gale heard Hikari tried to sound out. "Mantro pe-pen..sy?"

"Excuse me." Gale interrupted. "Sorry to bother your reading, but what are you doing in my house?"
Hikari jumped, obviously startled, to her feet, and rubbed the back of her head.
"U-um.. I... came for..." she began. "F-fortune telling... My name's Hikari!"
She looked at the floor, her face was almost red.

'How embarrassing to just shout your name like that, stupid!' she thought.

"Ah." He walked into his house and closed the door behind him, setting down his telescope.

"Why didn't you just wait... until later in the afternoon?" Gale asked, looking at her curiously.
"Um, well..." she began, "Well, I... couldn't sleep, so... A-and when you weren't home, I just decided I'd wait for you to get back, so..."

Gale shook his head.
"Don't worry, it's fine." he said, walking to sit down at his table.
"It's just odd. So... Anyways... what did you need... exactly?"
Hikari followed and sat across from Gale, fiddling with her fingers.
"Well, my boyfriend..." she began, "His birthday is soon. I want to get him something he wants, and, I have a general idea, but I really want to make him surprised. Um... It's Toby, by the way."

Gale nodded, and paused, staring in to the ball silently for a while.

"Toby..." he said, "is thinking... he just wants to spend his birthday... with you."
Gale was silent a bit longer before speaking again.
"But... as a present..." he started, "I think...he's thinking about... something you might make for him..."

"Maybe a cake... perhaps...It seems to remind him... of a party."

Hikari blushed and rubbed her head, nodding.

"Wow... that's... kind of amazing!" she said, looking at Gale.

Gale looked up at Hikari.

"... Amazing?" he questioned. "What do you mean... amazing?"

Hikari giggled.

"Well... Last year, Toby and I's first date... it was at a dance, party kind of thing!"

She smiled widely. "So, it's really amazing that you mentioned a party."

Gale watched Hikari as she stood up and walked to the door, opening it, but pausing to look back before she left.
"Um..." Hikari said, "About my fortune... Thank you. And, you know..."

She laughed and rubbed her head.

"Maybe you really are a Wizard! I'm starting to believe it."

Gale's face tinted a shade of red that would be barely noticeable unless you were up close to him, due to his naturally dark skin tone.

'She's such a strange girl...' Gale thought. 'Walking all the way here for a fortune...? Especially at this hour... I wonder why she was trying to read my book?'

Though Hikari left the house, she was leaning against the Wizards door.

She felt stupid, like she'd just embarrassed herself.

'He probably thinks I'm an idiot...' she thought, 'I couldn't read that book, or at least pronounce the words. Plus asking such a silly question, and acting like that... And calling him 'amazing'...'

Hikari stood up straight suddenly, and shook her head,

"Pft!" she said to herself, "I'm not dwelling! Embarrassing or not, I got my answer!"

She put her hand on her forehead to calm herself down.
"Besides, I barely know the Wizard, no reason why I should worry about his impression of me."

"This is about Toby!"

Despite not having got much sleep, Hikari managed to get up at the regular 6:00 to do her chores and daily farm work. She harvested a few perfect cabbages and lettuces, but they were mainly good quality.

After collecting milk from her cows, and a few eggs from the chickens, she went back inside to give her attempt at making a cake similar to the kind Toby had made for her.

"Okay!" she said loudly, "I can do this! I can do this!"
She took out a bowl and put in an egg, strawberry, milk, and the other ingredients.

She looked at the bowl, then her over, and back to the bowl.
"..." she concentrated, "... God, now what do I do?"

Hikari sighed and her shoulders slumped.
Making sweets were not her strongest point in cooking, since she'd learned mainly actual food recipes so she'd be able to eat when she first arrived here.

"Um... I know!" she shouted, "I'll just pick a temperature, and mix things together until I get it right!"

Hikari nodded, mixing the ingredients and putting them in the oven.

It took her a few tries, but she finally got it right, and then frosted and decorated her practice cake.
"Toby..." she wrote on the cake "Happy... Birthday..."

Hikari smiled.
"Finally!" she said, "Now that I know I can make the cake, I just have to invite people to the party!"
Her hands covered her face, and she turned in to a fit of giggles, she was so excited!

She was going to plan the party so that she and he could watch the stars after the party, she thought that would be kind of romantic for his birthday.

There's a Lemon in the next chapter, people :)

Towards the end though, but it'll be a pretty short chapter, and I'll clearly mark the Lemon so you

can avoid it, if you wish to :)
