Hi, it's been a long while since I last updated. A little more than 2 years I believe, but hey. I just never had inspiration or motivation to write this, so I pretty much discontinued the series, but then I was like what if I update it again? And yeah, so here it is an update. I don't know if I'll continue after this though. It really depends on my mood. Enough of my rambling though. Enjoy the story!

I returned to my secret place the next day. Not because of the promise I made, no, but because it was what I usually did. At least that's what I remember myself thinking as I sat there on the grass, waiting.

A few hours passed, and there I still sat, all alone. What exactly was I waiting for? What a stupid question. Deep down I knew what I was waiting for and as more time passed, the more anxious I soon became. I lay down and stared at the sky and just sighed. Was I really worrying about whether that kid would show up? Why yes, yes I was reader, but I didn't want to admit it.

"She's not going to come... Haha..." I said to myself while laughing a bit.

It didn't really matter if she came or not, I tried to convince myself. I say I tried, reader, because a little bit afterwards I began to turn into a horribly anxious wreck. You see, I began rolling around freaking out and spouting all kinds of nonsense. Like how dumb was I to think I'd have made a friend, stuff like that. After a few minutes I stopped though, and just stared up at the sky again. Everything was quiet as I lay there by myself, and I had just come to accept that as how my life would always be.

"B!" I heard voice call out to me.

At that sound, I sat up and turned towards the direction it came from. There she was, running towards me, and with a basket? I stood up and just stared as she ran up to me completely out of breath. She gave me a weak and tired smile, before dropping the basket on the ground and falling to her knees and taking deep breaths in and out. I stood there still feeling, well, I remember feeling so completely and utterly happy over the fact that Elizabeth had showed up again as promised. Smiling a little, I sat down next to her and just awkwardly patted her back.

After a minute or so, she finally caught her breath and quickly started explaining why she was late. You see Elizabeth was the daughter of a rather wealthy family that lived nearby and her parents didn't really want her leaving their estate. So young girl had to sneak out, similar to how I would sneak out of Wammy's, but that wasn't why she was late. She was late because she spent sometime packing things for a picnic. Upon hearing that I looked over at her basket and she smiled.

"A... picnic?" I questioned a bit surprised by this.

"Yup!" She began as she started pulling things out, "I've always wanted to have a picnic with a friend, but I never really had a friend until now."

Elizabeth looked at me with her sparkling heterochromia eyes and just smiled. Oh her smile, it could make anyone's heart melt upon seeing it, or perhaps it was just mine. I felt my heart beat speed up as I just looked down. She giggled after that and just continued to set up our picnic.


"What?! You don't like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?!" Elizabeth yelled in total disbelief.

"I don't like peanut butter" I calmly said while grabbing the jar of strawberry jelly from her hands.

"I do however like jelly and jam too."

I proceeded to open the jar, stick my finger in and scoop up a little bit of the jelly, and then licked it clean. Elizabeth stared at me shocked and a bit disgusted. She took the jar from me and started scooping some of the sweet red substance out with a spoon and slather it on a piece of bread. She put a lot of jelly on that slice before sticking another slice on top and handed it to me.

"Here, then just eat a jelly sandwich if you don't like peanut butter. Don't just stick your fingers in it and eat it, B" The young girl lectured.

Chuckling, I took the sandwich and started eating. She did the same with her own pb and j sandwich. The two of then spent quite some time talking, well it was mainly her talking and me sitting there not very much listening, but I started paying attention more when she asked if my name really was B.

"Well," I started saying, "the B stands for something, but I mainly just go by B."

"What does it stand for?" She asked looking at me with curious eyes.

You know they say that the eyes are the window to the soul, and Elizabeth's mismatched eyes were just so incredibly stunning, there is no doubt in my mind that her soul wasn't just as beautiful. They always seemed to sparkle and shine so much, it probably made the stars jealous at how bright they were. Oh but enough of nonsensical rambling.

"Beyond Birthday. It stands for Beyond Birthday."

She was quiet and just stared at me. It looked like she was thinking. Trying to process what I just said. Is that his name? I could only imagine that was what she was thinking. Sighing, I just plopped back and lay down in the grass. My name was strange, but I really didn't care if people thought it was weird or not. So it didn't very much matter to me what she thought of it. After a few seconds though, she spoke up.

"Your name is cool!"

I froze. Cool? My name? She must've been joking, but when she moved so that her face was looking down at mine, I could see just how honestly and truly she meant what she said. It was at that moment that I probably started to fall for her.

"To be honest with you, B, my name's not really L." Elizabeth began confessing.

"Oh really?" I couldn't help but say a bit sarcastically. Luckily she didn't catch that.

"Yeah! My name is actually Elizabeth Edwards."

"How did you get L from Elizabeth? Your name starts with an E."

Elizabeth lifted my head up a bit and then placed it down on her lap. I felt my cheeks heat up a bit as my hands balled up into fists and clutched onto the grass tightly. The young blonde girl ran her soft fingers through my hair as she started explaining. Her reason for choosing the letter L was because of how her name Elizabeth made an L sound. ELizabeth. Hearing that made me laugh and it caused her to get flustered.

"S-stop laughing at me, B!" She said flicking my forehead.

"Ahahaha no way!"


Soon the sun began to set, meaning both of us had to go our separate ways. I helped pack up all of the picnic supplies, and by help I mean I put all the stuff away due to Elizabeth being to busy making something she wouldn't show me. As I put the last plate away and shut the basket I felt something being placed on my head carefully. My hand went to touch it, but was ultimately swatted away.

"Don't touch it! I worked hard to make it and it might break!" The young girl whined.

"What is it?" I asked genuinely confused.

"A flower crown because a prince deserves a crown!"

She smiled at me, before picking up the basket and running off. I stared at her retreating figure and watched as she stopped, turned back, and waved bye to me, before running some more. My heart was racing and with out really thinking I remember I yelled out "COME BACK AGAIN TOMORROW EL" before I ran off back towards Wammy's. I ran and ran, feeling strange. It was like I was walking on air. The feeling was hard to describe when I was that age, but I know now that that was love. I was extremely happy and excited and just overall completely head over heels in love, but I wasn't too aware of that feeling back then.

I ended up running the whole way home and got there earlier than I usually did because of this, but I still got back the sun was almost completely gone. Quickly, climbed up and over the fence, only to come face to face with

"A?" I asked, confused by him being there.

He stared at me nervously. "B... I..."

I sighed, and walked past him. The guy was so weird sometimes. Walking away I said, "don't tell anyone about this or else."

As I walked away I heard fall to his knees and just cry there on the ground. I didn't think much of it, but maybe I shouldn't have left him there that night. Maybe I shouldn't have ignored him whenever he wanted to talk to me, but I did... And... maybe it was because of those actions that I was punished.


That's it for chapter 3. So what did you think of it? Sorry if there's any mistakes with spelling or punctuation. Surprisingly enough I did not write this extremely late at night as I do with almost every other thing I write, but still I'm human I make mistakes. Anyway I hope you enjoyed this update. I have no idea when or if I'll update again. Depends on my mood, you know?

Chapter 4 coming soon...?
