I actually don't think that there will be a book 3 now...But I may make another one relating to it. I don't know, just let me know in the reviews please! But anyways, bye! xoxo-Star

I woke to the sound of rumbling thunder. Once again, it was storming. I sighed, feeling a warm blanket wrapped around me. I curled up, yawning sleepily. I was absolutely exhausted, and my whole body ached horribly. But at least it was warm here, right? Not out there in the pouring rain that I could hear so clearly. Wait, why could I hear it so clearly? And where was I exactly? I couldn't recall actually. My eyes fluttered open, taking a few moments to adjust to the light in the room. When I did, I found myself staring into two gray-blue eyes. I gasped slightly, but didn't pull back. I looked at his face for a few moments, and then all of my memories came flooding back.

I lunged into his arms, tears falling down my face for what seemed like the thousandth time. N put a hand on the back of my head, stroking it softly and allowing me to press myself into him. I suppose that the shock of having him back had messed with my emotions so much that just the sight of him would make me burst into tears. At least, it felt that way. After I was finally done crying, he drew me back and studied my face. I sniffled softly as he raised a hand to wipe the tears from my face. He made soft noises of comfort before he sat up.

I lifted my hand to brush back my hair, noticing that I was still tied to him by the rope I had found yesterday. I smiled gently and lifted a hand, untying it from both of our hands. N then stood up, extending a hand to me. I took it, and he lifted me up, still keeping my hand in his as we walked to the hallway. It seemed that we would not be separating for quite some time, which was more than fine by me to be honest. I never wanted to let him go again. He walked me up to his throne room once again, which seemed to be the place we would be spending most of our time now.

"Look out there." He said, pointing through the huge hole in the stained glass window. I felt my face fall as I remembered a year ago, when Reshiram had burst through that very window. I had caught it in the final battle between ideals and truth. Then N had flow off on the back of his Zekrom… I shook my head, trying not to focus on that fact now. All that mattered was that we were back together. I looked where he was directing me, gasping in astonishment as I noticed what he was trying to show me in the first place.

The opening between the jagged glass showed a huge, dark lake, seeming to flow with energy. Over the lake, lightning flashed brightly, illuminating the still dark sky. It twisted like a web over the top of the lake, entrancing both myself and N in its beauty. I sighed, leaning my head onto his shoulder to enjoy the majestic view. We stood there in silence for a while before N finally spoke again.

"White…What do you think will happen in our future?" he asked me. My heart pounded in my chest so loud that I was sure he could hear it. I honestly had never allowed myself to think about any kind of future for myself and N. I had never thought that it would be a possibility for the two of us to even fall in love, and the idea seemed absurd that we could have a future. But here we were…Together. We had the chance to form a future together, and be together forever.

"I…I don't know. All I know is that I want to be with you…" I admitted honestly. I had no idea what I wanted to do…I had no idea what I wanted from our future…All I knew is that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. I wanted to see his face every day…To hear his voice…To know that he loved me every day of my life. I heard N sigh next to me, wrapping his arm around my waist and pulling me even closer to him then we had been before.

"I was just thinking…Wouldn't it be nice…If…." he said, trailing off in mid-sentence. I turned around to look at him, seeing him staring at me intently. The second I made eye contact with him, I saw him blush, then turn away from me in humiliation.

"Never mind…It's a bit of a ridiculous idea anyway." he stuttered. I felt my heart beating rapidly, anticipating what he was going to say in the first place. I lifted the hand that wasn't occupied with his and touched his cheek, turning his face back towards mine.

"N, it's alright. You can tell me anything. I really do want to hear what you want. Please tell me." I said softly. He blushed even worse, but opened his mouth slightly. He cleared his through nervously, the reached into his pocket, shuffling around. When he finally found whatever he was looking for, he looked back up at me and knelt down in front of me. I felt my stomach do a huge flip and I gasped slightly.

"White, I know that this is very crazy. And I know that you're only seventeen…But I want you to marry me. I want to be with you. This is just a ring…Promising you that one day I will marry you, if you accept. I just…can't think of a life without you in it…So…Please just say yes." he said. I felt myself losing control again, so I simply nodded. He smiled softly, slipping the ring onto my finger. I threw myself into his arms, realizing that this meant he was mine, and I was his. No one could separate us now. It may not have been a proper proposal, but it was a promise, and that was enough for me.

"That sounds…wonderful. No one will be able to take us apart from each other …And we can be together…And no one will hurt us." I said. He slowly stood up, taking my cheek in his hand. I smiled encouragingly at him as he leaned forward and kissed me gently.

"White, no matter what, I want to be with you. I want to know that you care about me, every day. Nothing else in the world matters. I just want to be with you for the rest of my life." He said. I was about to respond, when another voice piped in instead of mine. A voice I had hoped I would never hear again as long as I lived.

"However long that life may last." Growled the voice. N immediately pushed me behind him, spinning around to protect me in any way he could. I didn't even need to see who had said that. I had known that voice perfectly. It had rang in my ears every day. It haunted my every nightmare. The voice belonged to none other than Ghetsis, N's father.

"I knew it would only be a matter of time before you showed up, my father." Said N through gritted teeth. I looked at Ghetsis, his every detail the way I had remembered it. The memory was enough to make me sick. I felt my hand trailing slowly to Reshiram's Pokeball, but I wanted to make sure that he didn't notice the small movement.

"I knew it would only be a matter of time before you returned here, the boy with no human heart." Ghetsis hissed. I suddenly forgot about trying to get Reshiram out of its Pokeball. Instead, I pushed myself in front of N, rage surging through my body.

"Take that back right now." I growled at him. Ghetsis turned his attention from N directly to me. He scoffed, taking me in. He looked quite amused, and crossed his arms, making his cape swish oddly. He looked like some kind of disgusting hybrid vulture.

"Ah, and if it isn't White. Come back to ruin my plans again, have you girl? You're just as scrawny, weak, and puny as the boy. But at least you have a human heart, now don't you?" he said to me. I glared at him, all of my anger spilling out at once. I heard N behind me, yelling something at me, trying to pull me back. But I couldn't hear a thing over the violent ringing in my ears. I grabbed Reshiram's Pokeball, but it was too late. Ghetsis had already drawn his Pokémon.

"Hydreigon, use Dragon Tail." He screamed at the poor Pokémon. I remember seeing the Pokémon rush at me, swinging its tail into me. I remember the pain of the tail making contact with my body. I remember not being able to breath. I also remember seeing N's face and hearing his scream as I fell backwards out of the window, the glass running up against me as I flew. I also remember the impact of the lake against my body as I made contact with the surface. And finally, I remember everything going black as I recalled my conversation with N only moments ago, when we had decided to get married.
