20 minutes later...
Arizona came back out, and walked to the woods. When she arrived, she found Dustfinger staring at the water. Where she had fished. Does he love me like I love him? Arizona was watching him. "Dustfinger?" She asked him quietly. He turned around, looked her up and down and asked, "What now princess?" Arizona changed her question, to the question she had now. "Dustfinger, why do you call me... princess?" He sighed. "I.. just do." He lied. Arizona knew he was lying. But she said nothing. She sat next to him, and this alarmed him, because he shifted uneasily. "Dustfinger." She said again, and he shook his head. After the long silence, Arizona began humming softly. The fire swayed with her rhythm. Dustfinger watched her, and a small smile played on his lips. Arizona noticed, and grinned. Time seemed to stand still, and she turned, trying to act as if she were distracted from something else. But she turned once more, back to his eyes, at first seeming almost..cold.. After a while though, there seemed to be happiness instead of that coldness. She was still looking into his eyes, trying to see them reveal all of the answers to her questions. But they didn't. Instead, her fire and lava revealed themselves to him formed into to humans. One was her, and Dustfinger. Arizona gasped, and squinted. Then the fire kissed the lava. Arizona stood up and gasped. "I-I didn't do that. The-The fire and lava, or a-atleast mine, is quite mischeivious." She stuttered. He looked really startled. He looked at Arizona and back at the giggling fire and lava. He heard them laughing just as she did. Arizona felt very uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that she found herself backing away. Dustfinger spoke up. "That.. Was quite a.. performance. I.. suppose you haven't quite trained your.. fire and lava yet?" Arizona shook her head, blushing as red as a cherry. "I suppose not." She smiled weakly at him, and then said. "Er, Dustfinger? I don't really know how you.. er, feel... but I think you should know that.. I, er.. kinda er.. like you more than a.. friend?" It came out as a question, and Arizona's breath hitched in her throat. She saw a million expressions flash on Dustfingers face. Here were only some. (In order)
1. Shock
2. Confusion
3. Regret
4. Frustration
5. Hope
6. Hesitation
Arizona stood there hopefully, and yet she said: "Nevermind, I-I shoudln't have said that. I-I'm sorry. Besides, I'm far too young for you. I-I'm-" before she could finish, he kissed her. It was quick, and he backed away, with Arizona just staring at him, hardly breathing. She looked at him, and at her feet, and smiled. "I love you too."
