Chappy 12!
thanks to every one who reviews! U know who U are!
I really like how this story's going! apparently you all do to!
Anyway, on with the show!
Mizuki woke to sunlight filtering through the shear curtains, a light breeze blowing in through the open balcony door. The first thing she noticed was that Akio wasn't next to her. Next thing she noticed was that the music box was playing. She got up, noticing she was still fully dressed. Looking outside through the balcony, she decided to look in the closet for something to wear. About 10 minutes later, she was wearing a pale yellow sun dress with white leggings and strappy high heel sandals. She walked down stairs. On the table was two plates of bacon and omelets. She sat down as Akio came in with orange juice.
"There you are, I was about too come up to wake you for breakfast."
"What do you mean 'there you are'? it's only 7:30!" Mizuki said, sitting down.
"Well, I thought I'd do some thing nice, I called your dad earlier, I have you all to myself 'till tomorrow, so I was thinking about going out for some fun." Akio said and started to eat. Mizuki looked at him. He called her father, this early.... No way, dad would still be sleeping.... suspicious, but she didn't want to ruin whatever he had planned. Later, they went out, Akio wouldn't say where, but Mizuki didn't really care, what she cared about was all the girls that were staring at him. One even had the nerve to approach untill Mizuki glared at them with enough force to make the girl twitch.
"Are you getting jealous?"
"Who? Me? No," Mizuki said, glaring at any girl who came near.
"Yes you are."
"Okay, maybe just a bit," Mizuki said, "But its hard not to be."
"I only have eyes for you, I told you that before I knew who you were or vise-versa," Akio said smiling warmly at her, "That hasn't changed, Mi-chan."
Mizuki smiled at him in reply and hugged his arm harder. Then looked up when he stopped.
"We're going to a Fair?"
"Yep, got the free tickets and everything, this man here gives us a stamp that lets us go on any ride as much as we want till we leave." He said giving the man the tickets, in return the man stamped their hands.
"what do you want to go on first?" He asked.
"I don't know," she said smiling, "You choose."
"Do you like roller coasters?" he asked, "Cause what ever it is I'll put up with it, including the merry-go-round if you want to do it."
"Then come with me over here," she said pulling him over to the Tunnel of Love. Cheesy and tacky, and they rode in a giant bird, but it was none the less romantic. Mizuki was smiling when they came out, they didn't makeout in there like a lot of other couples would, they just talked, but it was very nice and calm in there.
"Now I know why that thing hasn't changed at all from the past."
"Mmm-hmmmm" Akio said, "Now what?"
"Still wanna go on the Roller Coaster?" She asked with a smile, it went around the entire place, and that was pretty big. Akio smiled. After the roller coaster the day went on, Akio spent a good fifteen minutes talking Mizuki into going in the giant rubber band thing. Then, a person had come to ask if he could take pictures of them while they went about they're day, saying something about an article for a school newspaper. Mizuki smiled and agreed. In the end, she even managed to get Akio on the Merry-Go-Round. The 'Spinning Teacup' was the most fun though, they went on that one 6 times. They were about to get in line again when Akio looked at the time.
"Hey Mi-chan, lets get something to eat." He said.
"Okay," She said with another smile. Thankfully, the restaurant that he had reservations too was on the fair grounds, and apparently the reservations atoned for a meal, drink, and side on each. They were done just before sunset. Perfect, Akio thought. His 'plan' was all falling into place. The got in the almost non-existent line for the farris wheel and by the time they were riding up, the sun was setting, causing Mizuki's dress to turn a golden color. Akio looked at her.
"How was today?" He asked.
"I loved it, it was so much fun," She said smiling, "I had a great time."
"Really? I was worried, you must have done this a lot as a child."
"Actually, you wouldn't really know seeing how you just found out that your of royal blood, but you must know that being a Princess might be every girls dream, but not mine, I just wish to be a normal girl," She said, gazing out into the sunset, which had exploded the sky into hues and shades of purple, orange, red, and even green in some places, "I wasn't allowed outside the palace grounds as a child, and even if I had been, it wouldn't have mattered, I would have been stared at and even shunned. So I never went to this kind of place."
She looked at him with her cool, sky blue eyes. "That's why I loved being with you so much, and why I didn't tell you about the future and who I am," She said, "You treat me like I'm just a girl and your just a boy, and thats the best thing I could ever ask for."
"I'm glad you see it that way," he said looking at her, there was silence for a bit as they just looked at each others faces.
"hey, Mizuki," Akio asked as the Farris wheel reached the very top, and stayed in the same place thanks to Akio, "I've been meaning to ask you, about the time you first said you were in love with me."
Mizuki looked at him, waiting for him to go on.
"Did you mean it, do you want to stay with me," He asked, thinking about how corny the situation was, "forever?"
"Yes, of course I do," Mizuki said with a shy smile, "You know that."
"Well," He said, putting his hand into his jacket and pulling out something, concealing it in his hand, "I've been waiting for you to say or make that apparent, so as to secure your hand."
"I want you to have a say in this, not just our parents" he said, opening the small box at showing her the ring, "Will you marry me Mizuki Kou?"
"Yes," she whispered, nodding meekly. Mizuki looked like she was going to cry. Akio put the delicate golden ring on her finger. It has two opposite crescent moon shaped gems, one of pure sapphire, the other of emerald, and in the middle was a diamond specially cut to shine and sparkle in any lighting. She gasped and admired it in the dim lighting of the twilight atmosphere.
"This must have cost so much," She said, slightly distracted by the sparkly-ness of it.
"The cost doesn't matter, I thought that it was something you'd like, I designed it myself."
"Really?"
"Yes, I needed to get the perfect one, and none of the others matched up to standards," Akio said, vaguely proud that Mizuki was somewhat distracted by the ring.
"All this for me?" she asked.
"Your worth it, Mi-chan."
Mizuki smile and tentatively reached out to him for a hug, and he held her close and tenderly. When she looked up, the sun had already descended below the horizon and the stars shone brightly. Mizuki would Remember that day for as long as she lived.
Okay, a bit short, but i thought that was a good place to wrap it up at.
thank you all who support this fanfiction, i hope to finish it within a reasonable amount of time, but nothing's garanteed with me!
