PAnn: Here's Chappie 2!

- Chapter 2 -

~Normal POV~

She has been counting the days left for her to stay outside the palace especially only 2 days left before her birthday. Runo scowled since she didn't want to leave the gang in the first place. She didn't even wish to become a princess of that place too. It's very hard for her. If many people wish to be a princess like her, she'll be willing to give them her throne wholeheartedly.

"RUNO! Are you just gonna stand there or you're coming with us?"Julie shouted at Runo upon noticing Runo not on her senses.

"Wait up!"Runo replied, trying to catch up with her friends going ahead of her. When she came, she was panting and snorting.

"Damn, you made me run so fast."Runo said.

"It's because you were not on yourself. What's the problem Runo? You've been like that since last week."Julie said.

Runo paused. She thought of an excuse and the first thing that popped in her mind is….

"Roller coaster!" she hastily said.

"Roller coaster? Are you afraid of that?"Alice asked.

"No, I just wanna ride on that immediately. Come on!"Runo replied.

She grabbed Julie and Alice's wrists as the boys followed. She gulped on how high the roller coaster is since the carnival is just a new-opened one. She hopped on the roller coaster beside Dan, shut her eyes, she tightened the grip on his shirt when they were almost at the top. She screamed out of her lungs when the speed of the roller coaster became faster. She them managed to gasp some air after that.

She flustered when she realized that she was already hugging Dan throughout the whole round of roller coaster. Dan also blushed.

The gang then took a break and ate. They rode next the merry-go-around except of course the boys and the other rides too.(A/N:sorry, I can't name other rides since the last time I went to a carnival is when I was 10 years old. I've been very busy so I wasn't able to got there often.)

They then last took the Ferris wheel . So, as usual, the pairs are: Dan & Runo, Julie & Marucho and Alice & Shun. When Runo and Dan hopped on, there was a long silence between them so Dan broke it.

"Runo, tell me, what's your problem? You've been not on yourself these past few days."He said.

After five seconds, Runo replied "So, you really want me to cry, huh."

"Make you cry? What do you mean Runo?"He was puzzled.

Runo smiled. "I know you wouldn't understand so please don't ask."

"Then I'll try to understand it."

"But you can't."

"I can."

"You can't."

"I can."

Runo got really mad so she suddenly blurted out "If even I can't understand it then how can you?"

Dan froze.

After a couple of minutes of silence, Runo spoke.

"I-I'm sorry."

"No, Runo, it's not your fault. It's mine, since I was the one who started it."

"No, that's not what I meant."

"What?"

"Nothing, Dan. Nothing. Just forget what I said."

After thirty seconds, they realized they were on top. They can see the reddish sky and the sun that is about to set.

"Beautiful isn't it?"Dan said while staring at the wide sky.

"Yeah." Runo replied.

After the Ferris wheel ride, they were all about to go home but Runo was thinking not the same thing.

"Guys, I better off. I still have… something to do so you can go home without me, 'kay?"Runo said.

"O-kay…."The gang replied with unsure tone.

~Runo's POV~

I better finish this off by tomorrow. Maybe, doing it right now will make it easier for me to do it.

Tears started to roll down my cheeks. Before they could lose sight of me, I turned to them and said "Thanks for everything guys. I really had so much fun. And also, I'm sorry. I better off now, Goodbye and please take care of each other for me."With those words, I ran as fast as I could.

"Was Runo just… crying?"Marucho said.

"Maybe we're just hallucinating."Alice said.

"Then we we're all hallucinating."Julie then said.

"What does she mean bye 'I'm sorry' and 'Goodbye and please take care of each other' and also the 'Thanks for everything' part?"Shun said.

Dan remembered what Runo said to him awhile ago.

"Maybe, she wanted to tell us something, a message that is hidden behind those words." Dan said. The gang looked at him. When they got more curious about it, they started to run after me.

"Runo! Wait for us!"I heard them shout so I an as fast as I could then the next thing I know is, They all split up just to find me but they didn't know that I was just there, hiding behind the tree I found near the carnival. Tears keep rolling down my eyes so I brushed them away.

I'm sorry guys. I can't be with all of you now. Just like what they say, Heaven cannot go down the earth and earth cannot climb up to heaven so this is my fate guys. This is the life I've chosen to have so I must face it. That is your fate and this is mine. We can't change it anymore. It's all long too late. Goodbye.

~Dan's POV~

Runo, please, show yourself now. I hope that the feeling that I just felt is wrong because if it isn't, It will make my life turn into a hell. Please Runo….. Please, I don't wanna lose the girl whom I love throughout this years.
