Author's note: I added a song this this chapter, it's called "The Unforgiven II" by, yes "Metallica," but I just mixed some of the lyrics up. I hope you enjoy it.

Chapter 4

The next day, after Brandon's and Ariana's date was ruin because of Julian. Ariana was inside the HQ getting ready for her training, but she was not even worried about it. She was more worried about Brandon, and how she can explain to him that she doesn't like Julian. As she was thinking, Skipper walked in the room.

"Ariana, are you ready?"

"Sure, I guess."

"Normally I don't do this but I will anyway, what's wrong?"

"It's about my date last night with Brandon."

"Did he hurt you, because if he did I will kick his-"

"No, Brandon didn't hurt me; actually Brandon was the one you got hurt."

"What do you mean?"

"Well during our date, Julian came and told all of his secrets and he kissed me and Brandon just ran off crying."

"Dang that ringtail, well look, I'm going to be nice and let you talk to Brandon, and we can do you're training tomorrow okay."

"Okay Skipper, thank you."

She then gave Skipper a big hug, and he just hugged back. Ariana was about to go see Brandon, Skipper said one more thing.

"Oh, and don't worry Ariana, I'll take care of ringtail."

"Alright Skipper, you do that."

She then left to go see Brandon. As she got there she saw Marlene leaving the cave, Ariana then went to go talk to her first before she talked to Brandon.

"Hey Marlene."

"Oh, hey Ariana," saying with her arms cross.

"Um, is Brandon in there?"

"Yes, and he's still crying form last night."

"Oh, I was worried about that."

"And he told me what happen, why where you kissing Julian?"

"I didn't kiss him, he kissed me, but Brandon left too soon to really see what happen."

"So Julian kissed you?"

"Yes, and I want to explain that to Brandon because, I really like him."

"I thought so, go talk to Brandon, but good luck, he's listing to Metallica songs."

"Wait, Metallica is a heavy metal band, right?"

"Yeah, but he's listing to their sad songs."

"Oh, okay, I'll go in there try to talk to him."

As she went into the cave, she saw Brandon, but he was getting his guitar ready. Ariana knew he was about to play a sad song. But as he stared playing, she reignited the sounds of the guitar. She knew this song; it was "The Unforgiven II" by "Metallica." As Brandon finished the intro, he stared to sing.

Lay beside me, tell me what they've done

Speak the words I want to hear, to make my demons run

The door is locked now, but it's open if you're true

If you can understand the me, than I can understand you

Lay beside me, under wicked sky

Through black of day, dark of night, we share this pair of lives

The door cracks open, but there's no sun shining through

Black heart scarring darker still, but there's no sun shining through

No, there's no sun shining through

No, there's no sun shining

What I've felt, what I've known

Turn the pages, turn the stone

Behind the door, should I open it for you?

What I've felt, what I've known

Sick and tired, I stand alone

Could you be there?, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you

Or are you unforgiven too?

As Brandon was playing he was about to sing the next part, but then Ariana stared to sing, because she knew this song with all of her heart.

I lay beside you, this won't hurt I swear

I love you not, I love you still, but I'll never love again

I lay beside you, but I'll be there when you're gone

Black heart scarring darker still, yes I'll be there when you're gone

Yes, I'll be there when you're gone

Dead sure I'll be there!

What I've felt, what I've known

Turn the pages, turn the stone

Behind the door, should I open it for you?

What I've felt, what I've known

Sick and tired, I stand alone

Could you be there?, 'cause I'm the one who waits for you

Or are you unforgiven too?

Brandon stared to play the guitar solo of the song, as he played Ariana felt his solo with all of her heart and soul. He then finished the solo and stared to sing the rest of the song.

Lay beside me, tell me what I've done

The door is closed, so are your eyes

But now I see the sun, now I see the sun

Yes now I see it!

What I've felt, what I've known

Turn the pages, turn the stone

Behind the door, should I open it for you?

What I've felt, what I've known

so sick and tired, I stand alone

Could you be there?, 'cause I'm the one who waits,

The one who waits for you

After he sang that, they both stared to sing at the same time.

Oh what I've felt, what I've known

Turn the pages, turn the stone

Behind the door, should I open it for you? (So I dub thee unforgiven)

Oh, what I've felt

Oh, what I've known!

I take this key (never free)and I bury it (never me) in you

Because you're unforgiven too

Never free

Never me'

Cause you're unforgiven too!

Ohhhhhhhhhhh-ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!

(End of the song)

"So, I take it that you're here to say that Julian was the one who kissed you, and that you still like me?"

"How did you know that?"

"Let's just say, Metallica's song speak to me, and when you sang with me, they spoke louder."

"Well then, do you forgive me?"

Brandon then leaned in and stared to kiss Ariana right on the beak. Ariana then just kissed back on his lips, and without a doubt they where both enjoying it, even more with Brandon, due to it's his first real kiss. They then broke away for their kiss.

"So does that answer you're question Ariana?"

"Yes it does Brandon, yes it does."

"So, why do you say, would you want to be boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"Yes, yes I would like that very much,"

"I thought so, but what are we going to do about Julian?"

"Oh, Skipper is taking care of that for us."

"Really, how's that?"

Then from a distance they heard screaming from a certain lemur.

"Somebody help me, this crazy flat headed penguin is chasing me with a baseball bat!"

"I think he's taking care of it right now," said Ariana.

"I think so too."

They then stared to kiss again, and both where happy they found their perfect match.
