Chapter 10:

Back on Earth, in Heatherfield, the girls were enjoying their dates.

Will Vandom & Matt Olsen

After eating their dinner and having dessert, the happy couple was dancing to the music romantic the resturant's band was playing.

"So, what do you think of this Valentine's Day?", Matt asked as they slow danced together.

"As long as I'm with you, Matt, I'm happy.", Will said with a smile.

"I feel the same way, Babe.", Matt said with a smile. "Happy Valentine's Day, Will Vandom."

"Happy Valentine's Day, Matt Olsen.", Will said with a smile.

The couple then shared a loving kiss. They then continued to dance to the music.

Hay Lin & Eric Lyndon

"So you enjoying the night so far, Hay Lin?", Eric asked Hay Lin before he ate a shrimp.

"I love it!", Hay Lin said smiling. "The other girls may like going to those fancy places, but places like this are just as good for a great date!"

"So, you don't like fancy resturants?", Eric asked as Hay Lin ate a shrimp.

"They're okay.", Hay Lin said. "It's just that you can't have to much of a good time without someone telling you to keep it down or something."

"I see your point.", Eric said. "Those places can be a bit stuffy."

"That's why I'm glad you brought me here instead!", Hay Lin said smiling.

"Well, I'm glad you're happy.", Eric said smiling. Happy Valentine's Day, Hay Lin."

"Happy Valentine's Day Eric.", Hay Lin said as she scooted closer to Eric.

Eric then fed Hay Lin a shrimp, while she fed him a sjrimp too. After eating their shrimp, they gazed into each others eyes and saw the true feelings they had for each other. Eric then kissed Hay Lin with all the feelings he had for her. Hay Lin, of course, returned the kiss with all the feelings she had for him. The two then went back too eating their dinner enjoying their time together.

Irma Lair & Joel Wright/Taranee Cook & Nigel Ashcroft

"So, Ms. Lair, are you enjoying yourself?", Joel asked as he ate some of his garlic bread.

"Why yes I am.", Irma said smiling before drinking some of her tea. "I still can't believe that you brought me here!"

"Well, like I said before, you're worth it.", Joel said.

"I bet you say that to all the girls.", Irma joked getting a laugh out of Joel.

"Vey funny.", Joel said with a smile. "But, I'm serious, Irma. I know that before me you haven't had much luck with guys."

Joel then reached over and held Irma's hand making her look at him.

"That's why I took things slow, when we first started going out.", Joel said as he looked into her eyes. "And even though we're together now, I'm willing to take things nice and slow. I don't want to scare you off, for I don't want to lose you."

"I don't want to lose you either.", Irma said as her eyes began to water. "You're the one guy that's made me feel special. And when I told you about me being a Guardian, I was so happy that you accepted me for who I was. I hope what we have last."

"Me too.", Joel said with a smile as Irma's tears began to flow.

Joel then brought his hands up to her face wiped her tears away with his thumbs

"Happy Valentine's Day, Irma Lair.", Joel said smiling.

"Happy Valentine's day, Joel Wright.", Irma said with a smile.

They then shared a kiss filled with the feelings they had for each other. In the same resturant, Nigel and Taranee were enjoying their dinner and the time they were spending together.

"I hope you're enjoying yourself, Taranee.", Nigel said.

"Of course I am!", Taranee said with a smile. "I'm just still surprised that you brought me here."

"I know it's a bit much.", Nigel said with a small smile. "But after all the stuff you and the girls have been through, I figured that you deserved something special for tonight."

"You didn't have to do that.", Taranee said with a smile. "You already gave me something special."

"I did?", Nigel questioned.

"Yeah.", Taranee said. "Like me for who I am. I may not be smoking hot and all, but you still like me. That's why I'm happy with you, no matter where we go on our dates. As long as the place isn't dangerous that is."

"Of course I like you for who you are.", Nigel said. "Nothing will ever change that. Never for get that."

"I won't.", Taranee said smiling as Nigel held her hands. "Happy Valentine's Day, Nigel Ashcroft."

"Happy Valentine's Day, Taranee Cook.", Nigel said with a warm smile.

The loving couple shared a kiss before going back to eating their dinner.

Cornelia Hale & Angelo Vanders

Now, seeing as it wasn't a large lobster, Angelo and Cornelia were able to finish the whole thing.

"Now that was a good Valentine's Day dinner.", Cornelia said as she wiped her mouth with a napkin.

"You know there's still dessert.", Angelo said as he cleared the table.

"You're going to fatten me up, you know!", Cornelia said with a grin.

"Oh please!", Angelo said with a grin of his own. "With all that goes on in your life, you'll work this off in no time. Besides, you'll love what I got for dessert."

"Uh-huh.", Cornelia said as Angelo took the dishes into the kitchen.

Once in the kitchen, he put the dirty dishes in the dish washer and started it. He then grabbed the bowl of strawberries and took it out to the Living Room and sat it on the table where Cornelia was sitting.

"Oh! Strawberries!", Cornelia said smiling.

"That's not all!", Angelo said as he headed back into the kitchen.

A few seconds later, Angelo came nack with a fondue pot with two fondue forks.

"And now we have chocolate fondue to go with our straw berries.", Angelo said as he removed the lid off the pot.

"I can't believe you did all this!", Cornelia said with a smile as she grabbed a fondue fork and stuck it into a strawberry. "You know you didn't have to do all of this."

"I know.", Angelo said as he grabbed the other fondue fork and stuck it into a strawberry. "But I wanted to."

Cornelia smiled, with a slight blush, at Angelo before dipping her strawberry in the chocolate and blowing the chocolate off to cool it before eatting it.

"Mmmmmm!", Cornelia said as she ate the choclate dipped strawberry. "This is good!"

"I know.", Angelo said proud of what he did.

"Aren't we proud.", Cornelia said as Angelo ate his strawberry.

"Yes. Yes I am.", Angelo said making Cornelia laugh.

Angelo then moved his chair closer to Cornelia's.

"Finally you get closer to me.", Cornelia said as Angelo used his fondue fork to pick up a strawberry and dipped it in the chocolate.

Angelo then brought the strawberry to Cornelia's mouth. Knowing what he wanted, Cornelia opened her mouth for him to feed it to her. Cornelia in turn did the same thing to Angelo. After eatting a few more strawberries, Angelo went a gave Cornelia her Valentine's Day present.

"I hope you like it.", Angelo said as he handed Cornelia a small velvet box.

"You know I will.", Cornelia said as she opened the box.

Once she opened it, she looked to see that it was a silver ring with a pink sapphire on it.

"It's beautiful.", Cornelia said as she hugged Angelo. "Thank you!"

"Glad you like it.", Angelo said.

"And now it's time for your present.", Cornelia said as she got up and walked iver to her coat that was hanging up on the coatrack.

She then reached into her coat pocket and pulled out a small velvet box of her own. She walked back to Angelo and handed the box to Angelo.

"I hope you like it.", Cornelia said as Angelo opened the box.

Once he opened it, he saw that it was a class ring with a Amethyst on it.

"Wow!", Angelo said as he put the ring on. "Me like."

Angelo then stood up and kissed Cornelia, who returned the kiss lovingly. Just then guided Cornelia into the middle of the Living Room.

"May I have this dance, Ms. Hale?", Angelo asked with a bow.

"Yes you may, Mr. Vanders.", Cornelia said with a curtsey.

Angelo then wrapped his arms around Cornelia's waist, while she wrapped her arms around his neck. They then danced to the music that played. As they danced, they both began to think about what had happened a few days ago, and what they could of lost.

"I'm glad we were able to stop Zaras and get your energy back.", Angelo said as they slow danced to the music.

"Me too.", Cornelia said. "But if I hadn't tried to do so much, I wouldn't of had to use the Drops and put not only them and me in danger but all of you."

"So, you messed up.", Angelo said as he looked into her eyes. "But it's not like you knew Zaras was lurking around waiting to strike. If we knew about him and what he could do, you wouldn't of taken the risk and made all those Drops."

"You make a good point there.", Cornelia said with a small smile that soon turned into a frown as she pulled away from Angelo and turned her back to him. "But I still remember the pain from those attacks."

Cornelia then placed her hands over her chest as she remembered the three times she felt the pain there. Suddenly, she felt a familiar pair of strong arms wrap around her from behind.

"I don't knwo how you felt when those attacks hit you.", Angelo said as he held Cornelia close from behind. "But I do know how I felt when I saw you in so much pain. I felt helpless. Helpless and scared. Helpless that I couldn't do anything to stop the pain. Helpless that I couldn't save those three Drops from getting attacked. Helpless that I couldn't stop the fear you were feeling that night."

"How did you..."

"I... overheard you and Cassidy that night.", Angelo said.

"Oh.", Cornelia said with her head down a little. "You also said that you felt scared. What were you scared of?"

"Losing you.", Angelo said getting her attention as she lifted her head. "You may not believe this, but being with you is one of the best things that has happened to me. I don't know if what we have will last. And if it doesn't, I hope that we can still be friends. But right now, I'm hoping that what we have will last a very long time."

Cornelia then turned around while still in Angelo's arms. Angelo saw that her eyes were watering.

"I feel the same way.", Cornelia said before they kissed.

After they kiss, Angelo saw Cornelia's tears flowing. He slowly brought his hands up to her face and wiped her tears away with his thumbs. They both then kicked off their shoes and laid on the couch together. They laid in a way where Angelo was behind Cornelia with his arm wrapped around her from behind and they had their heads resting on a pillow. They were enjoying thier time together as they were listening to the music that played on the stereo. Cornelia then turned her body so that she was facing Angelo.

"What is it?", Angelo asked.

"Nothing.", Cornelia said with a small smile as she brought he hand up and touched Angelo's face gently. "I just want to look at you."

"Oh.", Angelo said with a smile. "Well, I like looking at you too."

Cornelia then kissed Angelo with all the true feelings she had for him. Angelo soon returned the kiss with all the true feelings he had for her. Soon the kissing turned into making out as they wrapped their arms around each other bringing their bodies closer to each other. After a while, even though they didn't want to they ended their making out as the need for air came. They then looked into each other's eyes and smiled. At that moment, they knew that if one needed the other, even if they weren't together, they'd be there to help the other.

"Happy Valentine's Day, Angelo Vanders.", Cornelia said with a smile.

"Happy Valentine's Day, Cornelia Hale.", Angelo said with a smile.

The two of them just laid there enjoying their time together as the music played. Both knowing that what they had was going to last a long time.

So, in the end, everyone had a romantic Valentine's Day. For everyone needs love.

Don't you think?
