Chapter 9: Love and Hope

Serge found himself standing all alone in Opassa Beach. All was calm and peaceful, there was no sign of battle on the beach, as if nothing had happen. Serge slowly takes one step forward and step on the sandy beach.

"It's my fault"

Serge heard a familiar voice and spun around only to find Harle standing on the beach with him. Serge notices something was wrong with the picture. Harle standing in front of him wearing one of the local dress, instead of her harlequin costume. Aside from the dress something else caught Serge attention, a small wrist device on Harle hand. Red and blue light starting to blink on the device

"I wish zere waz another way"

"Harle" Serge called out to her, but she did not respond to his call. "Harle!" Serge called again but still the same thing. Serge couldn't understand it but it was as if Harle couldn't hear him calling her name.

"Harle" this time Serge tries to catch hold of Harle hand, but to his surprised his hand went pass through Harle as if he was a ghost. Serge pulls back his hand with a shocking look in his eyes. "Am I dead?" he whispered looking down at his hand. Before he knew what happen next, Harle just walk through him and towards the wave. Feeling shock and, confused Serge turn and watches Harle. She turns herself around and facing him, tears starts to flow down her cheek.

"Au revoir Serge" she push a little button on the device. Her body starts to emulate with blue aurora.

"Harle wait!" Serge shouted but as he tries to near her, a bright burst of light erupted and knocked him back.

*****

"Harle!" Serge screams.
"In most circumstances I would have ask you if you have dream of moi" Harle joked, looking down on Serge. She places her hand over his head and patting him softly.

"Harle" he said softly.

Serge closed his eyes for a moment and sighed. 'It was a dream... or was it' Opening his eyes Serge lifted himself and looked at Harle.

"How long was I out?"

"Five maybe ten minutes" Harle answer.

"My wound, they've healed" Serge looked at his arms and body, he was completely heal and there was no sign of cut or any form of injuries.

"I've used a heal element on you" said Harle showing the green element on her hand.

Suddenly he remembers that Harle was stab by Enzeru blade and supposed to be dead "Are you hurt?" Serge asked worriedly.

"Non mon Serge" replied Harle. Serge look at Harle carefully, he couldn't believe it but in front of him Harle look healthy and not even a scratch on her. Though there are sign of cuts on her cloth but there is no wound indicated on her. He couldn't understand how, but deep in him at least she is safe.

Serge gives out a heavy sighed. Suddenly something caught his attention, a dim ball of light emulating near them. Serge spun his head towards the light. "What that?" Serge pointing to the dim light on the beach. The ball of light hovers on the same spot where Enzeru last stand.

"I've no idea" Harle said looking at the ball of light "It been like zat ever since ze blast"

Serge and Harle got closer to see what the light was but as soon as they near the site, the ball of light burst out brightly. Serge shielding Harle as the bright light slowly dim down. Serge and Harle both watch with surprised as three little figure stand in a circle surrounding a young infant inside.

The infant body emulates a red aurora, slowly the aurora stating to dim down. One of the creature approach the infant and lifted it off the sandy beach, as the creature touch the infant a soft white glow surround the baby body and moment later the light turn into a white blanket covering the baby.

"Fate has been purge off this body" said Masa and Mune.

"The mind was corrupted, but the body and soul of this girl is innocent" the little creature lifted the baby to Harle. Harle still feeling a little uneasy and scared takes a few steps away. Serge opens his arms and held on the baby girl.

"What will happen now?" Serge asked curiously.

"Its up to you Chrono Trigger, the future is what you make it" Doreen replied.

"Did you save my life?" Harle asked walking in front of Doreen. The little creature looked back to her.

"I'm afraid not princess" she replied.

"I'm not ze princess"

"You are her clone" said Masa standing beside Doreen.

"Do you remember when Enzeru stab you with her sword?" Doreen asked.

Harle nod, rubbing her chest remembering the sword pierces through her.

"It was her sword that saves your life" said Mune taking his place beside Doreen and Masa.

"How come it hurts me and not Harle" Serge asked the three creature. He feels kind of weird asking them since the three creatures before him, which used to be his swallow.

"Is kind of hard to explain" said Masa scratching his reptilian head. "Let see, the princess here was attack by Enzeru dagger"

"The dagger inside her somehow reacted differently when Enzeru stab her sword into the princess" explain Mune, the little creatures looked back to two confusing people standing before them "Look we're not rocket scientist, but the dagger is made out of little robot know as-"

"Nano technology" Harle interrupted.

"Correct, this thing was made to safe life in the future" said Doreen tapping her finger under her chin "Through our guess, the dagger must have helped healed your body with the energy given from Enzeru sword"

"Whatever it was at least you're safe" said Serge.

"Than our task here is done" Doreen wave and walk to the sight where the portal which lead to two world used to be. "Come on you two"

"Wait where are you going?" Serge asked.

"We don't know ourselves but if you ever need us again we'll be there" said Doreen before the three creatures faded into the air.

"We better get back" said Serge smiling back to Harle. Harle nod her head as Serge moves on the path back to Arni. After a few step Harle notice something blinking in the sand, she slowly approach the object and reach for it. To her knowledge she have no idea what it was, it looks like a watch but there is no time display on the device.

"Harle are you coming?" Serge asked, Harle quickly put the device away and turn back to Serge.

"Coming"

*****

"Come on Poshul" said Leena walking down the stairs in Termina followed by Poshul "They should've clear the boulder by now and we-ouch" She felt she knocked into someone near the corner of the streets.

"Watch where you're going young lady" the old lady mumbles.

"Sorry about that..." Leena held her hand out to help the old lady up, then she stare back to the old lady.

"What are you looking at? Never seen a Fortuneteller?" The old fortuneteller held onto Leena hand and got back on her feet, she sweeps the dust off her robes.

"Say, aren't you the one that told me that I won't have a boyfriend for a very long time?" Leena said with a little anger in her voice, she could still remember the fortune that the old lady predicted.

"Yeah and me Fat" Poshul added. Poshul was there along with Lisa when the old fortuneteller predicted their future.

"Oh its you, haven't see you in a season, I've seen you've grown into a fine woman" fortuneteller chuckles, she then rose one of her eye brow and stare back to Leena like a predator looking at its prey.

"W-what is it now?" Leena said nervously, and frighten a little by the way the fortuneteller looked at her "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Hmmm... You've change and not on your appearance alone" said the fortuneteller, she then take a step closer to Leena. Leena got more nervous and retreated back "Can I see you're palm"
"No way I'm paying you to tell me that stupid fortune again" feeling a little upset.

"Its free" The fortuneteller extended her hand. Leena stood for a very long time before answering back to the Fortuneteller.

"Fine" Though she still feel a little unsure about the entire idea, nevertheless she extended her right hand to the fortuneteller.

"Hmmm... Ah... Oh... I see"

"What?" asked excitedly, eager to knowing what the fortuneteller sees.

"Your luck has change somehow... I can't understand it?" said the fortuneteller as she raised her head and face Leena "Have someone come into you life recently, a boy or a girl maybe?"

"Yeah there was a girl but that was weeks ago" then the thought of Tadi snap into her mind "Oh NO!"

"Oh Yes" Fortuneteller said.

"I knew she was trouble" Leena stomping on her feet.

"Trouble? Who said anything about trouble, Luck I would say"

"Huh" Leena and Poshul looked at each other before turning to the fortuneteller.

"Somehow this girl has changed your luck from bad to good. You may think you have quarrel with her at first but soon you two will be good friend nevertheless and in the end, the one who had been touch by the flame will seek you out"

"I don't understand" said Leena still confused.

"I just read your fortune not understanding them" she said "You'll have to find out what or who this person that has been touch by the flame is" the fortuneteller wave her hand as Leena move to one side and she continue her journey "Now if you don't mind, I need to get to Lisa store"

"What about me?" Poshul asked jumping up and down.

The fortuneteller turns around and looks back to Poshul, she doesn't even need to read her fortune, it was clear to her "Loose a few pound, but still fat"

"How rude"

Leena still lost in her mind start to walk off without Poshul. Leena keep walking, still deep in though and not watching where she was going "Jewel... Ouch" Leena fall to the ground as she turns to look who she knocked into this time. "Today definably not my day, Why don't you watch where you going?"

"Forgive me Milady" the young man extended his hand out to Leena. "I was not looking where I was going"

"Yeah and I—I" Leena look stun as she stare back to the young man before her, he was young maybe about her age. He's quite handsome even with an X scar on his cheek "That's not necessary, I was the one not looking"

"Glenn! What's keeping you?" Two more cloak figure stand not far away from Glenn.

"Coming brother" Glenn replied back before turning back to Leena "I'm truly sorry for knocking into you"

"Not at all... you're Glenn"

"Yes I am, May I know your name Milady" Glenn asked.

"Leena" Leena answer.

"Leena... I" Glenn was about to say something when the cloak figure interrupted him. "Glenn hurry up" the cloak figure called out again. Glenn turns and nods to the cloak figure before turning back to Leena.

"I'm sorry but I have to leave now Milady, but I sure we will cross path again" Glenn smile before running back to the two cloak figure.

"No problem" she answers but Glenn was long gone. Poshul raised her head and look at Leena expression, she was lost in her thought.

"Leena! Leena!" Poshul called out.

"Huh?"

*****

"So that what happen" said Radius looking at the baby Marge carrying on her arms "Enzeru was the root of all this"

"At least both of you are safe" said Marge.

"What now? What do we do with Enzeru in a baby form?" Serge asked.

"Maybe with could feed her to ze giant komodo or somet'ing" said Harle coming out from her room wearing a descend dress instead of her crimson harlequin costume.

"Out of the question!" Radius protested "That's barbaric"

"I have to agree with Radius here, she is but a mere child" Marge enters the conversation. Serge could hear Harle mumble something to herself but it was too soft that he can make a word out of it.

"I think we could let her stay here" Radius got up from his chair and walk over to Enzeru. The little baby gives out a cute laugh. "I'm sure there are families in Arni that would give take her in"

"Out of ze question! Zat would be to much of a risk" Yelled Harle crossing her arm, she felt both a little angry and disagree with Radius idea "She's to dangerous"

"I've said the same thing about you the first time I saw you" Radius replied.

"Zat not ze point, I waz... she iz..." Harle try to argue back, but finally understand Radius words. "I give up! Look she can stay, just as long I don't have to change her diapers will do"

Harle turn her face away from Enzeru only see something else. Leena and Poshul walking into Serge house with a big smile on her face. "Hi guys I'm back"

"Huh? What's going on?" Leena looked confused as everyone in the house looked back to her.

*****

Leena and Poshul listening to the event that took place during their absent. The way Radius explain the event to Leena and Poshul was like a long lecture. After Radius explains the whole story, he discovered that the pink dog sitting beside Leena has fallen asleep.

"Ahem, I guess I have to work on presentation" Radius stomping on his cane waking Poshul up.

"I see" said Leena looking at Serge and Harle, the way Serge looked at Harle tell her something that she have expected for sometime "Seem like I was away for a long time doesn't it"

"I better put the baby to bed" said Marge walking to her room.

"Me help" said Poshul hoping along with Marge.

"Alright Poshul but try not to make to much noise"

"You two better get some rest, with all the excitement you been through" said Radius patting on Serge shoulder. Serge nod to Radius and turn back to Harle beside him.

"Radius right" said Leena "I'll see you in the evening Serge"

*****

Harle sat on her bed thinking in the dark. Even though her problem with Enzeru now has been resolved, she still felt a little uneasy. She raised her head and gazed out to the window.  Deep in her mind she was trouble, trouble of if Enzeru was not the only threat out there. There could be others who wish to see her dead.

Harle slowly slip her hand inside her pocket and takes out a wristwatch. To her knowledge, she knows nothing about technology or sophisticated gadget such as this. She carefully inspects the device she found on the beach.

The little device start to blink with red and blue light on it, round with a few button on the side, it look like an ordinary watch. She inspect the device closer, there is a circle ring surround the surface of the device, within the right there are two small arrow pointing at opposite direction, the red arrow pointing to the south and the blue arrow pointing to the east.

"I guess zis must be ze device zat take Enzeru home" Harle whispered.

If this device can take her back where she came from, then all her problem might just go with her. She shut her eyes and hit one of the buttons, but nothing seems to happen. All she could see is words coming out from the little screen, blinking.

OUT OF RANGE

She sighed with relief and worried at the same time. Relief as the device didn't work and worried that it didn't work. Part of her is longing to stay with Serge but the other protective part of her eager her to leave, as she was too much of a risk.

She tries to clear her mind, hoping to find a small moment of peace, but the problem hovers through her mind every moment she shut her eyes.

'I need some time to think zis over'

She opens her eyes and walk out her room. As she past by the house, everything was quite and calm. The door to Marge room was slightly ajar, allowing her too takes a glimpse into the Marge room. She could see clearly, Marge sleeping with the infant Enzeru by her side. She can also tell clearly that Marge might have grown a little to attach with Enzeru.

At least one of her problem is solved, she is sure that Radius will see to it that Enzeru is taken cared of. Harle carefully closed the door and head outside.

*****

Harle can feel the sea breeze brush pass her as she made her way to the pier, to her surprised she was not the only one on the pier. Sitting all alone and gazing out to the sea, Leena suddenly spun her head around and stare at Harle, standing behind her.

"You're Harle right" said Leena with her usual tone.

"Oui" Harle answer, feeling a little nervous.

"Guess we never had a chance to introduce to each other properly" Leena smile back to Harle. "Leena"

"Harle" Harle said softly.

"So how come you're out here all alone at this hour?" asked Leena as she takes off her both shoes, place it beside her, and swing her leg.

"Just need a place to think" Harle lower her head and looked at the water below them.

"Same goes for me" said Leena "Why don't you join me?"

"I don't think zat would be a good idea"

"Why? Are you afraid that I might bite you" Leena joked. "Come on, we might share some of our problem" she said with a friendly tone. Harle nod her head and sit next to Leena. Harle looked back to Leena. Leena expression tells her that she was not the only one having trouble.

"Are you trouble because of moi?"

"Something like that" Leena said truthfully, Leena turn to Harle. Both girl stare at each other for a long time before turning their eyes away, Leena faces the sky gazing at the star above them. "Hey do you believe in love at first sight?"

"Huh? Maybe" Harle answer nervously. Both girls looked at the dark sea before her. Even though Termina is block by the cliff that separate the village and the city, Leena and Harle could still make out the light coming out from the far horizon.

"I do to, and I can guess who was your first love" Leena smirk and turn back to Harle "Serge right"

"I... er" Harle felt a little difficult to answer it to Leena, knowing that Leena to likes Serge since they were kids.

"Don't have to be shy"

"I know zat you and him have-"

"We're just childhood friend, though I admit I do have feeling for him but I felt we have been distance ever since he went on that journey and met you"

"Moi" Harle gasped.

"Aren't you the blond girl he told me about" Leena seem a little surprised at Harle reaction.

"Non mon ami, ze one you mention iz Kid not moi" Harle corrected her.

"But what's the difference, I can see it in him that he likes you" Leena shrugged. 

"I sorry"

"Don't be, I'm not" said Leena placing her hand on Harle shoulders "I may like Serge but the choice is still up to him"

"I'm sure zat he had already choose ze girl in his heart"

"That 'Kid' girl?" answers Leena "So you haven't told me yet, what's troubling you?"
"Same as you" Harle lied.

Leena can tell on Harle expression that she's not telling her something, but she not going to ask. If Harle doesn't wish to talk about it then there is no point of asking. Knowing that Harle feeling gloomy and down, Leena try to think of something to cheer her up.

"Hey you want to know a little secret" said Leena,

"What?" Harle asked curiously.

Leena lean a little closer to Harle and whispered something into her ears. "You do know that Serge is afraid of cat's right, but have you ever wondered why there are cats crawling all around his house"

"I never notice that" said Harle.

"Funny isn't it" replied Leena as both girls started to giggle.

*****

She sat quietly on the bench looking at the village, she had a long time to think this over and though it was not the best choice she had but at least she knows deep inside her she doing the right thing. She gave out a loud sigh before getting up and head for the gate.

"Hi Harle"

"Una" Harle turn to Una, standing with her bag by her side. "How are you doing?"

"Fine, hey where are you going to?"

"Home"

*****

Serge stood in front of his room window and gaze out to the village. All seems peaceful now after the battle, the place looks as if nothing had happen over the past few weeks. Serge sighed and glad all this that was over, or is it.

There still that dream he had on the Beach with Harle. That dream somehow still troubles him till now. He just could put it in his mind if that dream means anything. The trouble was whenever he had a dream it usually comes true no matter how weird it sound.

"Hey Serge!" Leena knocked on Serge door.

"Leena" Serge spun his head to see Leena standing outside his room with a smile on her face.

"Got a minute to spare?"

"Sure, what's on your mind?"

Leena steps into Serge room and closed the door behind her, she slowly walks over to Serge and looked at him.

"I was hoping to find a better place and time but I guess this will have to do" said Leena taking another step closer while Serge takes a step back. Leena continue her advance as Serge continues to retread back until he knocking his back on the wall.

"Errr..." Serge feeling a little uneasy with Leena sudden change of attitude. Not only was he a little scared, but also what if his mother or Harle found him in a room alone with Leena.

"Don't worry I'm not going to kill you, I might give you a slap or two" Leena step back and smile back to Serge.

"Huh?"

Leena takes a few steps back and lean on the wall opposite to Serge "So how do you feel about Harle?"

"What?"

"I said how do you feel about Harle"

Serge looked a little confused over Leena question.

"Serge has you gone deaf? I asked you a question here"

"Yes... I think" Serge gulp, hoping that Leena won't hit him on the spot.

"You think!" Leena sound a little angry "There is no think! In this matter Serge, do you like her or not. A yes or a no will do"

"Yes"

"I've guess the same"

Leena step in front of Serge and raised her hand. Serge see what's coming to him and shut his eyes tight and expecting a hard slap on his face. Instead of a hard slap from Leena, Serge felt her hand touching his face softly. He slowly opens his eyes and sees Leena smiling back to him instead of crying or angry with him.

"I knew it sometime ago... the way you looked at her, but I just can't accept it then"

"I cannot understand it myself" Leena sighed "I should be angry at you Serge yet I'm not"

Serge just went out of word, not knowing what to tell her or how to react. All he did was standing still and watch as Leena takes a few step back and lean back on the wall opposite him, she slowly slum down sitting down on the floor.

"Have you told her yet?"

"No... I'm still not certain about my own feeling" Serge said honestly, his still having a hard time figuring out his feeling with Harle. At one side he does love her but on the other side he still love Kid.

"There is another right?" said Leena pointing her finger at Serge "Kid" Serge nod back.

"Serge, I might be out of my league if I said this but I felt I must" said Leene "I may not know what had happen in you journey but this I know" She stood up and stare back to Serge.

"She came here looking for you, Serge. She came to find hope from you and she even risks her own life trying to save you and everyone around her from Enzeru. If you asked me she at least deserve to know how you feel about her deep down"

"You'll hurt her more if you just keep her in a loop and in the end you might just end up regretting about it"

"How would you know?"

"Trust me is a girl thing" she got up on her feet and walk to him.

"And what about you?"

"I'm not worry because I know that I'll always have a special place in your heart Serge" said Leena pulling Serge out of his room "Come on"

"Where?" asked Serge filling reluctant to move.

"To Harle's room"

"What? Are you crazy" Serge trying to pull back but they were outside of Harle room.

"Come on and knock the door"

"I don't think this is a good idea" Serge try again to move away but Leena still got hold of his arm. "Leena"

"You have to tell her sooner or later, it might as well be now" said Leena with a stern voice. "Hurry up you big chicken, Never mind I'll do it for you"

"Leena wait" before Serge can stop her, Leena has already knocked the door to Harle room. Serge was sweating like mad when Leena knocked on Harle door, but to both their surprised no one answers the door. Leena knock the door again but still no one answer her call.

"Harle" Leena call out her name, finally feeling a little uneasy Leena went for the doorknob "Harle we're coming in"

As they enter the room, it was completely empty. There was nothing in the room except for the furniture. There were no cloth and personal belonging. Harle may have stay with Serge for a few weeks but there were sight of personal item the last time Serge enter her room.

"Where is Harle?" Serge asked softly, Leena spun her head toward Serge "You mean to tell me you don't know where she is?"

"No I thought she was still in the house"

"Maybe she's outside or at the tavern" said Leena as she pulled Serge along.

*****

They both search the entire village, but they still couldn't find any sigh of Harle. Serge even went and asked his mother but she was to busy taking care of Enzeru that she did not notice Harle left the house. Serge was not surprised at this since Harle can teleport herself anywhere without anyone knowing she was gone.

"Maybe she went for a walk" Leena suggested.

"Hey Leena" Leena felt someone tap her from behind, she turn around to find Una staring back to her.

"Not now Una" Leena said impatiently.
"Fine if you don't wish to know where Harle went" said Una starting to walk away.

"Una!" Leena grab hold of her. "Where is she?"

"Hey, careful with my clothes Leena!" said Una, Leena quickly release her sister "I saw her walking off saying something about going home"
"Home?" The word seem alien to Leena.

"On no" Serge remembers the dream he had on the beach.

Serge's to the only place he could think of, Opassa Beach. If he were correct that is the place where Harle would go. The gateway to both worlds should still be there and the dream he had might be real. But before he could make it to the gate, Serge felt someone pulling his arm.

"Serge wait" Leena called out, holding his hand.

"Not now Leena"

"Just wait what I have to say" said Leena "You have to tell her how you feel Serge" Serge about to rush off but suddenly he stop and turn back to Leena.

"Even if you hurt her, tell her how you truly feel about her"

Serge stared back to Leena eyes; he smiled back to his childhood friend "Thanks Leena"

"Now go out there and get her, don't you dare come back alone" Leena instructed with great priority. Serge nod back as he dashed off to Opassa Beach leaving Leena and Una behind. Una, looking rather confused over what just happen turn to her sister.

"Sis, I don't get it?" Una asked "Why are you helping Harle, aren't she your rival?"

"You'll understand it once you get a little older" said Leena.

Leena was about to turn around and walk away when she notices someone else enter through the village gate. She could swear that she seen the man before, as she slowly approach the village gate her expectation were correct.

"Glenn?" Leena looked surprised as Glenn smiled back to her. "Why are you here?"

"I told you that we will cross path again Milady"

*****

"Wait for me Harle just you damn wait"

Serge continues running down the path on Lizard Rock towards Opassa Beach, he hope that he is not too late. As he continues to run, he started to think back to what Leena said earlier to him, maybe she was right no matter what Harle deserved to know how he felt.

*****

"How do you work zis stupid thing" said Harle shaking the device. The device ring of light blink completely red, once she reaches Opassa Beach. It must be one of the gateways to another world. "I wish ze dragon god would allow me to know a little bit of human science" she continues mumbling, remembering how the dragon gods hated human and their superior technologies to nature.

"Arrggg, where iz a manual when you need one" feeling frustrated she was almost tempted to throw the device into the sea.

"Going somewhere?" Serge voice coming from the back.

"Serge" Harle spun around and surprised at Serge sudden arrival, she quickly hides the wrist device behind her. "What are you doing here?" trying to sound as innocent as possible.
"I-I was about to ask you the same thing" Serge trying to catch his breath from all the running.

"I-I" all of a sudden her mind went complete blank, no matter how hard she tries to find an excuse she could think of any. "I was just going for a walk" she giggles, trying to sound as truthful as possible.

"Your planning on going back to the other world weren't you?" Serge seeing through her cover.
"Oui" Harle sighed, finally giving up on hiding the device in her hand.

"After what we went through, why?"

"I'm too much of a threat, az long az I stay people will get hurt, you will get hurt"

"No you're not"

"Yes I am! Don't you see, Enzeru may not be ze only one zat want to see moi dead" Harle was starting to sob, Serge knew that she was afraid and so was he. At this situation, he just doesn't know what to said or do. As he step closer to Harle, she took a step back. "Don't near moi Serge"

"All my life I made nothing but enemy and most of them want to see moi dead az ze other" Harle takes a few step back before turning around facing her back to Serge "With moi gone at least all of your problem will go away"

"Than what about me?"

"........"

"Do you think that by just walking off from my life you'll solve anything, the way Kid try to solve her problem by erasing my memories"

"I--I" Harle gasped. She never thought about what Serge had just said.

"You and Kid are alike, you always think you're right"

"Why never you ask me what I think or how I feel?"

"I know that you meant well for me Harle, but I don't wish to see you go and hurt yourself just because you think is the best thing for me" said Serge placing his hand on Harle shoulders, he could feel her body trembling "I cared for you Harle" he whisper.

"You cared for moi... az a friend"

"Harle I won't lie to you. I do love Kid and I will always do" Serge slowly turn Harle to face him, he could see tear flowing down her cheek.

"I know..."

"But that doesn't mean that I can't love another" Serge place one of his hand over Harle shoulders while and place his other hand on her cheek, whipping off the tear on her eyes "I love you Harle"

"You love moi" Harle gasped.

"Yes, I didn't know it but that night when I felt I almost lost you... I know it then that I truly love you" Serge chuckles "I guess you won't know how much you really cared for someone until you loose them"

"I-I don't know what to say"

"Say that you stay, don't every leave me"

"I will" Harle felt so happy hearing what Serge told her that she wraps her arms around Serge, hugging him tightly. It was so sudden that it almost knocks Serge off balance while doing so "I love you" She said out loudly.

"Say it again" Harle couldn't believe her ears. "Say zat you love moi"

"I love you" Serge repeated.

Harle let go of Serge and lower her head, feeling too embarrassed. She never did felt so embarrassed all her life, besides letting Serge know her feeling.

"Guess I got a little excited" she said blushing.

"Serge can you close you eyes for a moment" Harle said with an innocent voice.

Serge didn't know what is was at first, nevertheless he did what Harle requested. He shut his eyes, then without warning he felt Harle hand touch his face.

"Harle what-"

He felt Harle lips touch his lips, his eye when wide open as he see Harle kissed him. It didn't felt bad at all but just something he never expects. Harle pressed on as she continues kissing, Serge finally closed his eye as he kissed her back.

Finally, Harle pulled her lips away from Serge and gives out a giggle.

"Hope zat I'm your first"

"Now that you mention it there was Razzle then Orhla and Ouch"

Harle bang her fist gently at Serge chest as he stopped his little joke. Serge looked back to her, she gives out a sweet smile on her face.

"One more thing" said Serge looking at Harle

"What iz it?"

"I don't think that you'll need this anymore" Serge reach to Harle hand and takes hold of the wrist device from her. Serge drew back his arm and with his strength he hurls the device towards the sea. As the device hit the water it started to sparks and blue electric flow through it shocking it out.

"It's finally over" Serge turns back to Harle and gives her another kiss.

~ The End.

That the end of the story, and thank goodness for it. Besides having a huge writer block, I also ran out of idea. Never did think out of the ending when I first write the story, damn.
