I'm back! I'm so so so sorry for being for so long. I'm not gonna make up any excuses but I'm back now and I'm on a roll!

The next chapter will come up soon, hopefully by the end of this week.

Without further ado. Here's the new chapter

And that is a wrap on World War II!" Mr. Peterson exclaimed happily, clapping his hands together.

"Yay" a few students muttered as they gathered up their books. "Chapter test on Friday! Prepare yourselves!" Peterson announced as students began to exit the classroom. "Uggggggh!" Students groaned walking out. "Another test how exciting." Dawn mumbled waiting for Ash to finish packing up.

"So Dawn, do you want to hang out today?"

"Huh? Oh yeah. Sure we can hang out."

"And you can tell me about your dreams."

"Why not start now?" Dawn asked looking at him. "Sure why not. Tell me what was your last dream

"Well...It went like this…"

Pleaseeee…" Cynthia pouted her beautiful blue eyes widening.

Thomas tried his best to look away from her but she moved closer to him. I couldn't help but look at those beautiful sapphire orbs. They had a stare down for at least 2 minutes before he sighed dramatically throwing his arms up in the air "Alright New York it is"

Cynthia smiled tackling him into a bear hug. "Oof" he grunted as her body slammed into him, her arms wrapping around his waist, burying her face into his chest

Giving into the hug he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer. Placing his chin on top of her head, taking in the scent of her hair. It smelled like strawberries

"When are we leaving?" She asked breaking the silence. "How about tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow" She repeated her brow furrowing in thought.

"Is tomorrow not good?" He asked worriedly. He wants them to leave as soon as possible...to start a new life together at last

"No tomorrow is good. I'll ask my aunt to take my place on the balcony and we can run away together" She smiled grabbing his hands

"We can finally be together in this life" He whispered moving his eyes to her lips. She noticed and gave a small nod giving him permission.

They moved closer to each other. Closer. Closer. Close enough for the tips of their noses to touch, their lips centimeters away from each other

Dawn closed her eyes at the feeling of her past loves lips. They were so soft…

"Dawn! Hello earth to Dawn!" A voice that sounded like Thomas's called to her. "Yess Thomas.." she said softly her eyes fluttering underneath her long eyelashes

"Dawn!" He yelled again snapping her out of her trance. "Huh oh what?"

"Are you okay?" Ash asked looking at her, his eyes full of concern

Her blue orbs widened as it dawned upon her what just happened. Dropping her sandwich she lowered her face down blushing furiously.

"I kissed Ash" she thought to herself feeling her cheeks heat up. "Wait no what am I talking about?! He's not Ash"

Ash couldn't help but chuckle at how cute she is. Despite how calm he is outside, inside he wanted to do cartwheels and jump with joy.

"She's recognized me as Thomas" He thought, closing his eyes a flashback of their first kiss played in his mind. A small smile appearing on his face

But alas all good things must come to an end. She left him. Hopping on a train to New York the next day as he got held back by her father. "We could've been so happy" he whispered a lone tear slipping down his face.

Suddenly he felt something soft and warm wrap around his hands squeezing it tightly.

Silence wrapped around them as they sat there. It was not an awkward silence though, it's a comforting one. After all these lifetimes they're finally reunited.

"I'm so sorry." She whispered choking back tears.

It was his turn to grasp her hands now "Sorry for what?"

"For not remembering. I don't know why I can't remember you."

Standing up he walked to her side and placed his hands on her face using his thumbs to brush away her tears.

"Ssssh. It's okay. It's okay" He said softly feeling his eyes water. Placing a kiss on her forehead he embraced her nuzzling his face into her hair.

Strawberries

Her hair smelled like strawberries, he couldn't help but pull her closer to him taking in more of the familiar fruity scent

His hand rubbing circles behind her back. He could feel the fabric of his t-shirt getting wet from her tears but he didn't mind. It was good to have her back in his arms again.

"I promise you. Nothing is ever gonna tear us apart in this life. Nothing" he murmured into her ear.

These dreams are never gonna end well are they?" She asked between sobs

"No. No they're not" he answered.

1950's

It was nighttime and the Roller Palace was bustling. Everyone was waiting for the mayor's daughter to make her grand entrance on the balcony.

Thomas stood inside his little booth, hard at work. Looking up every so often to see when his love will come out.

It was the town's ritual ever since the Roller Palace has opened. Every Sunday night people would come to watch the mayor's family play the organ as they skated about.

Cynthia's aunt used to be the organ player until she decided to step down and have her niece take her place

And boy was she good.

"Alright Cynthia you can do this" Inside a room on the balcony, Cynthia was pacing back and forth, psyching herself up for her performance. "You've done this hundreds of times already"

Breathing in and out she continued pacing, talking to herself

"Cynthia! Are you ready?" Her aunt asked entering the room

"Oh Aunt Sophia! I'm so nervous. What if I mess up?"

"Darling calm down" Sophia walked over to her niece and placed her hands on her shoulders.

"You will do just fine. We've been practicing this piece for weeks, you've got it all memorized

The older woman sighed as she looked at her niece. Who is currently playing with the end of her yellow dress. Something that she always do when she's nervous.

Leaving many of her dress fraying at the hem. Kneeling down to Cynthia's eye level she placed her hand on the girl's knee.

"Tell me why are you so nervous? You've never been this nervous before"

"That's not what i'm nervous about" she muttered under her breath.

"Then what are you worried about?"

Cynthia was about to answer when the door opened and her parents walked in. "Cynthia there you are!" Her father bellowed.

"We've been looking all over for you." Her mother chimed in. "It's almost time for your big performance"

Sophia stood up and approached her sister and brother. "Are you sure that we should let her play this new piece?"

Mr. Ross cocked his head to the side in confusion before letting out a laugh. "Of course we should! The composer chose the best of the best to debut his new music to the world"

"The composer is here tonight so please Cynthia do not mess this up" Mrs. Ross said

"Yes mother" Cynthia answered, smoothing out her dress as she stood up.

"We'll talk about this later" Sophia whispered as they all exited the room
