This is the fourth time he fell. Really? Should he be that bad at BMX?

Emma came running after him. She promised him that she'd teach him to ride BMX. As she's now fully recovered, there was nothing better to teach Troy to ride a cycle and get some fresh air. "I'm tired of asking you this, but are you alright?

"Am fine. I guess" Troy replied, as he saw her bit her lip by seeing his bruises

"Don't you think you should get some first-aid? I mean, it's your seventh one" She said

"What? Bruises?"

"Uh-huh" Emma nodded

He flashed one of his rare smiles, the one which made Emma's knees turn into jelly."It's okay. Who knows how many bruises I'll get or what will happen while fighting the Warstar." He's smile faded. No, not at the thought of this but when he saw Emma's face turned grim.

"Don't you ever say that." She said with seriousness.

"Oops, sorry. Anything for Her Majesty."

Emma gave him a light punch in his gut and giggled. She sat on a log cut into half by some inhuman woodcutter. She glanced at her watch. "We should head home. It's near to dusk…"

He came and sat beside her. He drank some water and said, "The woods look beautiful at this time, don't ya' think?"

"Yeah." She said as she scanned the whole area and then looked up at the sky.

The silence that followed was awkward.

Then suddenly Emma spoke up "Troy?"

"Yeah?"

"Um, that day you asked me 'bout why I blocked that hit for you, right."

Troy froze at the mention of this topic. He surely expected something more as the answer, but didn't want to force her. "Yeah, why?"

"'Cause, I lied" Emma shut her eyes and tried to gather some courage. She knew Troy was a good listener and he'd not interrupt. "Actually, um, even I also don't know how this all started, but, um, Iloveyou" She said in a rush but not fast enough for Troy to not understand.

"Emma, y-you know what? You're the prettiest girl I've ever met, you're special for me. Believe me, I'd have said it long ago but…" Troy paused for a bit "I love you, too, Emma."

And then he leaned in and kissed her.

Am I asleep, am I awake, or somewhere in between?
I can't believe you're here, next to me
Or did I dream that we're perfectly entwined?
Like branches on a tree, or twigs caught in vines

Like all those days and weeks and months I tried to steal a kiss
And all those sleepless nights and daydreams where I pictured this
I'm just the underdog who finally got you
And I'm not ashamed to tell it to the world

Truly, madly, deeply I'm
Foolishly, completely falling
And somehow you caved all my walls
So baby, say you'll always keep me
Truly, madly, crazy deeply in love with you
In love with you

I'm hope I'm not casualty
I hope you won't get up and leave
Might not mean that much to you
But to me it's everything, everything

It was Emma's fist kiss.

It was Troy's first kiss.

It was their first kiss.
