I don't own DP.

Ryan leaned against an ancient oak tree, his black hair flowing gently in the wind. His gaze was planter firmly on the couple before him. Sam's dress bounced as she ran, and she looked absolutely beautiful. Ryan smirked; Daniel certainly was a lucky guy. His smile grew smaller as he looked back at Samantha. Her smile reminded him so much of before. Before his mom died, and before...

Before Melody's death.

"Ryan, are you coming?" Her voice was like a melody all by itself, exhaling a tune of cheerfulness and gladness. It was the dead of night in a beautiful garden. Fireflies lit up the sky, illuminating their surroundings. Most of the fireflies were around Melody, however, and she looked beautiful.

Ryan had made his way to the metal garden gates. His heart skipped a beat when he heard her voice.

"I'm comin- whoa..." His mouth dropped as he pushed through the gates. Melody looked... He couldn't even describe how gorgeous she was at that moment. Light brown locks curved gently by her neck, complementing her pale skin perfectly. Bare shoulders reflected the fireflies glow around her, and turquoise blue eyes sparkled in the night. Her dress was a darker shade of turquoise, but still amazing none the less. Ryan was left shockless by her appearance.

Melody awkwardly fiddled with her dress as she glanced at the ogling Ryan.

"Do...you like?" She asked shyly, a blush making her way to her pale cheeks. Ryan could only nod in awestruck wonder.

"You looked so beautiful..." He whispered. He took a step forward, only to trip on a rock. He fell forward with both arms flailing and he fell on top of Melody. The fireflies scattered for a moment, but then resurronded the fallen couple.

Ryan's face was flushed as he stared at the position they were in. He tried to get up, but Melody's hand gently touched his, and he forgot about getting up in that moment. He looked at Melody. Her face was several shades of red as well... But she was smiling. Ryan grinned as well. He caressed her face gently, and then picked up one of her curls and held it against his face.

"Your hair is so soft," he said under his breath. Melody let out a quiet giggle as her hand went out to reach his face. She stroked his cheek, and then picked up a strand of his hair.

"Yours is softer," she teased. Ryan let out a snort and nuzzled his nose against hers, giving her an Eskimo kiss.

"Nah, yours i-" Before he could even finish speaking, she had leaned down and gave him a kiss that tasted sweet as rain. It was a moment he would cherish forever.

He snapped out of his flashback and looked at the couple running around before him. Danny had been flying by him just at that moment, a look of pure love smothered across his face for Sam. Ryan let out a sigh, and he slid down the oak tree onto the soft grass.

"Don't show her your dark side Romeo... It could ruin everything," he whispered intentionally to Danny, but the only thing that answered back was the echoes of the past, and the sounds of Melody's screams of terror as she took her final breath.
