A/n- A revised ending.
"So, how long till the next town?" I sat with Irvine in his Zoid, watching the sunset.
"I duno, maybe a day or two?"
I smiled as I looked at Van and Fiona; they were sitting by camp, laughing at something. I cuddled next to Irvine, who ignored me as usual. He thinks its he's just too cool for that stuff, yeah, I know better.
I yawned as the cold of night swept over I looked over at the moon.
"Promise me something." Irvine whispered in a hushed, kill-me-softly voice. I smiled to myself.
"What?"
"Whatever happens let it stay like this."
"Like what?" I asked, sure I was being coy but a little confused at what he meant.
"We'll always say like this."
I smiled, smirked really. What a stupid thing to say. I thought. But then, I felt a lump in m throat.
"I can't predict the future, I can't-"
"Yes you can." Irvine turned his head around to me and looked right in my eyes, something lay in them, something bright. "You can do anything. I know it."
He leaned in and caught my lips before I could utter out a response.
Well, whatever will happen, it'll been fine. As long as I've got Irvine I'll be fine.
I felt his lips move to my cheek, kissing away my tears.
A/N- For years I have been unhappy with the ending to this story and I've felt awful for just sticking a lame chapter for its conclusion. Now I'm satisfied.
