All stella heard was the ocean waves. They've been walking for awhile so she laid her head on Lance's shoulder and closed her eyes. Now with her head up she looked around and they were on the beach. The snow white sand and dark water glistened under the three moons as the waves slushed against the beach, making stella feeling relaxed and sleepy.

" Don't go to sleep, stella. We still have to clear your wounds." Lance whispered as not to ruin the peaceful moment. He walked on down the beach and reached a boulder, which was when he set her down gently. Stella groaned a little in pain.

"Does it still hurt?" asked lance

"Yeah. Really bad"

Something small and red came through Stella's tunic. On her chest, the red spot spreaded more. Blood. Lance quickly kneeled down to check it.

" You should've told me you were bleeding"

" I didn't know either. It must've been from the buckles. Auggh!" She held the side of her hips where a long scratch appeared. In the moonlight the wound were more severe than lance expected. Some bits of the jet pack were in her legs and severe burns on her face, arms, and legs. The worst of them all were the chest wounds. It was bleeding too much and lance had to think fast. He sprinted over a few yards to a boulder and started griping it. Stella laid there confused and hurting. Finally after a few minutes lance pushed half of the rock to the side, and a clearing of a cave appeared. He ran back to the fairy and picked her up gently, trying not to hurt her. Taking her inside the cave, he set her down and pushed the rock door a little bit to close it, but not all the way so moonlight can come in.

The cave inside was breathtaking. Purple and pink rocks hung on the ground and ceiling, which glowed in the moonlight. There was spring waterfalls that could be heard from a distance inside. It was a small cave but it was beautiful to stella as she stared in awe. Lance however quickly ran around the small cave looking for supplies. The corporal came back with leaves, mud, and a made shift rock bowl filled with water. He kneeled in front of the fairy and set the stuff down.

" There's a small garden next to the waterfall a few yards down. Those leaves can help numb pain. The water is to wash up the mud. The mud is the most important. It has special minerals in it that can treat burns and clear it from infections." He explained. He got a scoop of mud and was bringing it close to her face. Stella backed away though, but she had a sharp pain in her side from doing that.

Lance frowned. " Stella, I know you hate mud, but this stuff will help your wounds. You can trust me." He smiled when he saw her relax. Slowly he put the mud on the side wound, which stella did groan in pain, then relief. He didn't have a rag to wash the mud of, so he tore his tunic instead and wiped it away with that. He cleaned them all except one: the chest wound. He turned red and looked away.

" Lance. Like you said, I can trust you." stella said. She turned red as well and she was unbuttoning her tunic a little bit. Luckily it wasn't on her breasts but above them. Lance slowly looked and turned redder. He could see the start of them and couldn't stop staring. Lance felt like the luckiest man in the world that he could almost touch them. And he did. He wiped the mud on it as gently as he could. Stella was sighing of relief and content. She couldn't believe she was enjoying this! She should really thank baron for making her hurt.

After that was done lance pulled Back.

" H-How do you feel?"

" I feel better. Thanks doctor for helping me." She said and winked at him

Lance's heart was fluttering now. He moved closer to her and leaned against her head.

" I'm so glad your alright. I was afraid of losing you." he whispered.

" It was just some scratches and burns."

" Still they could've been worse" he opened his eyes to look at Stella's. Slowly he leaned in till he could feel his lips against hers. A jolt came bursting in his whole body that he never felt before. Carefully he wrapped his arms around her and leaned against her. After a few minutes of kissing Stella was thinking something she never done before. After lance put mud on her chest she realized how it felt so..right, unlike her experience with baron. She grabbed his hand, held it for a while, then put on her chest. Lances eyes widen and looked at his hand. He couldn't believe what was happening. Now enjoying the moment he squeezed them gently, making stella giggle between kisses. Stella pulled in closer to lance to make it harder and so she could twirl her fingers through his long hair. After awhile the two decide to breathe and pulled back. They didn't talk at all but were sharing a special connection between them. Stella looked up at him and so did he and they just smiled for what seemed like hours.

Finally lance got up to help stella walk. She had a little limp to it, but it'll be healed after awhile. Then they walked back to the school, to Stella's room, where lance kissed her goodnight and went to his own. He pictured the make-out session they had at the cave in his mind. And how much fun he's had with her the last few weeks. Like the time they pranked baron with an old bucket on the door trick ( galalunians didn't know these things) and when the two snuck off into the fields to lay down and look at the stars, holding hands. He remembered the jolt he felt when he kissed stella. For awhile he was wondering what it meant. Now as he thought of it, it became clear:

Lance was in love with her.
