It has been a few years since I started this story and I'm really happy to finally complete it. I really did put a lot of work into it, so I hope it is well liked. I'm going to work on some Slayers fanfiction next so if you're a fan, check it out!

Seven Months Later

The sun shone softly on her porcelain skin, and illuminated her beauty. It was a radiance Kevin could barely comprehend. She gave him a playful sideways glance and the sight of her struck him, small and beautiful in her pink dress. Around them was a sonata of sweet sounds: a fountain's majestic ambiance, children innocently playing and laughing, and birds of all kinds come to drink up nature's sweet nectar.

But this botanical garden they had come to paled in comparison to her beauty.

"Oh Kevin, come here quick!"

Gwen's voice was like a melody he could never get enough of. As he followed her, he saw what she was heading to look at.

It was a section of rose bushes of every color you could imagine. But that wasn't what she was so interested in. It was the hundreds of butterflies that had flocked the small patch. It was like a butterfly haven.

"Aren't they beautiful, Kevin?"

Oh yes, she was beautiful. But Kevin shook his head from his daydreams and replied,

"Yeah they are, Gwen."

She sauntered farther into the sea of rose bushes, chasing a particular butterfly she picked as her favorite. Kevin watched from a small distance and fell in love with the sparkle in her eyes.

Out of nowhere a young man approached her. He was tall, dark, handsome, and a bit older as well.

"Hello beautiful! You like butterflies I see. Why don't we go over to the gift shop and I get you a stuffed one?"

He raised a single eyebrow in a suave manner, and Gwen just looked up at him. She opened her lips to decline, but at that moment she felt someone's hand slip into hers. She lightly squeezed it knowing it was Kevin, and politely declined the young lad's offer. His eyes grew wide and he sincerely apologized for coming onto her. He walked away embarrassed.

"I can't stay away from you for ten seconds without someone trying to snag you away from me." Kevin chuckled.

"Oh stop, Kevin!" She laughed back and playfully punched him in the shoulder.

They started walking together slowly.

"I'm really glad we came here today." Gwen uttered sweetly.

"Yeah, me too." He replied.

"It's been an amazing six months." Gwen said smiling and looking up at the clouds.

Kevin laughed and said," I'm surprised we've been able to be together this long already. I was gearing myself to have to wait for you for months…"

Gwen laughed too and punched him harder on the shoulder.

"Well one month was long enough. Knowing you were here waiting for me helped me get over everything very quickly. Especially since you were the one I wanted to be with in the first place…"

Gwen trailed off and let out a small gasp. Kevin turned to look at her and saw that she was blushing furiously.

"It's ok, I always wanted to be with you too, and I was just too dumb to do anything about it." He replied also blushing, slight embarrassment on his face.

There was a small moment of slightly awkward, slightly comfortable silence until Gwen exclaimed, "Kevin, lets go sit by that huge fountain!"

He nodded and she bounded off, pulling him in the direction of the fountain. Once there, they stood still to take it all in. It was huge, spouting cool crystal clear water sounding like a babbling brook. Marble angels holding up marble pots of intricate design poured water in to the main towering spigot. The tower was beautiful and branched off into a stunning work of hard craftsmanship.

"Do you have any change? I want to make a wish!" Gwen exclaimed.

Kevin dug around in his pants pocket and pulled out two quarters, handing them both to her.

"Here, you take the other and we'll make a wish together."

"Ok." Kevin said, gingerly taking the quarter from her outstretched palm.

"Do you have your wish ready?" Gwen asked.

Kevin thought for a couple seconds more and nodded.

"Yes, I do."

"Ok, together then. 1…2…3!"

The quarters made a sweet plopping sound as they broke the water's surface and sank quickly to the fountain's bottom, along with scores of other change. Gwen smiled, sat down on the edge, and peered down at the water. Kevin took a seat next to her. Gwen looked up and took his hands in her own.

"Thank you for wishing with me, Kevin. I know it's not your style and all…"

"It's no problem at all." He replied, smiling and squeezing her hands softly.

They sat there looking at each other blushing, each not sure how to say what was on their mind.

"S…so what did you wish for?" Gwen asked shyly.

Kevin gave a huge grin and replied, "Everyone knows that if you tell it won't come true!"

Gwen laughed upon hearing this, not having been sure if he would tell her or if he believed in that superstition about wishes. When she finally stopped, she saw that Kevin was looking at her quite seriously.

"What's wrong?" She asked, worry lacing her emerald eyes.

Kevin leaned in close, placed his hand behind her head, and brought her closer until their noses were touching. He saw her face stain a light crimson, and he was sure that his had as well.

"I love you." He whispered and closed his eyes, leaning in the last little bit to take her lips into the sweetest kiss they had shared thus far.
