A camera clicked and flashed, revealing a grinning Colin when the light faded.

"I couldn't resist," he told Luna without a bit of sheepishness.

She laughed, her silver earrings catching the sunlight. Colin watched her with unadulterated awe. She was so at peace here in the park, sitting on the beach towel he'd dug up somewhere as she fascinatedly studied the spider climbing across her palm.

Colin put down his camera and took a large bite of the cheeseburger he'd bought for their picnic lunch. Luna was listing off facts about the spider while he ate, though he wasn't sure how much was fact or theory. Whatever the case, it was a passion of hers that she she knew a lot about, and Colin loved seeing his girlfriend so excited.

After a few minutes, Luna let the spider back onto the ground and the two seventeen-year-olds watched it scuttle away. Colin ran a hand through his blond curls and stood up, then grabbed the fishing rod he'd brought and nodded towards the nearby lake. There was a couple fishing there already, and he wanted to get a good spot before it got too crowded.

"I'll be over there," he called over his shoulder to Luna. "Are you coming?"

She smiled serenely at him. "I will be in a moment," she replied in her soft voice.

Colin grinned brightly at the blonde girl and headed to the lake, polishing off his cheeseburger as he went. He cast the line and sat down on the bank, waiting for a tug. A few minutes later Luna joined him, carrying a cardinal red umbrella to shade them both.

They sat and talked for hours, letting the day pass them by. Colin told her about his brother Dennis; Luna told him about her father Xenophilius, whose name Colin tried desperately not to laugh at.

Then the rain began. Luna and Colin, who'd taken a walk around the lake, raced toward the umbrella and huddled beneath it.

"Luna," Colin gasped, "are you okay?"

Luna's hair was plastered to her pale face. She tucked a few strands behind her ear. "I little water never hurt anyone, Colin. And besides, rain brings the rebirth of all life."

Colin grinned at her. So many people at school thought she was odd, but he loved her eccentricities. It reminded him how unique the world was—as a photographer he was always trying to capture the rare beauties of the world.

He reached out and took her hand, the many bracelets she wore jangling. He looked her in the eyes.

"When university comes, will we still have this?"

He wanted to get a reaction from her, maybe so he'd feel that his fear was validated, but she didn't even blink. She tilted her head to the side and surveyed him carefully. "Do you want it to?"

Colin's eyes widened. "No!"

Luna smiled and leaned forward to kiss him softly, her lips still wet from the rain around them. "Then I don't see why school should divide us."

Colin rested his forehead against hers. "You're right," he said, suddenly determined. "We're in this together, no matter what."

No one could break them apart, he decided. No force on this earth even—not time, not space, not anything. Maybe it was naive to believe that he knew what his future held, but Colin had never known the dangers in life. He thought that he was in complete control.

Luna hummed in agreement. After a moment's thought, she took a pen out of her pocket and motioned for his hand. He held it out to her and she turned it over, palm up.

She drew an infinity symbol on his wrist. "This symbolizes our love," she explained. "Through any torment, we're connected. Growing strong. Always lifting each other higher."

At the word "torment", Colin grinned teasingly. "I'll be the end of you, mark my words."

What he meant was that he never wanted to leave her. Her kiss proved she understood. Colin smiled down at his wrist; Luna drew the same symbol on his own. He liked that they had an outward connection. It made their relationship feel all the more permanent.

The rain began to let up some, and Colin held out a hand to Luna, his eyes sparkling. "Want to dance?"

Luna got to her feet—they were bare in the mud. "Shall we check on our things? I put the camera in the basket, but I'm not sure if the rain—"

Colin's eyes widened in horror. "The camera!"

He ran into the rain and dragged the basket and soaked towel under the umbrella, praying the water hadn't soaked his prize possession. He checked inside—and sighed with relief. It was still safe.

Luna crouched down beside him to inspect the camera and then deemed it unharmed. Colin was just glad that the basket had kept all the water out.

Luna touched his shoulder. "The rain's let up now. It's just after a summer shower—that's the most magical time of the day, you know."

Colin grinned and stood up. He held out his hand to her and Luna led him in a waltz whose music only she could hear, but he couldn't have been happier. These were the moments he cherished with her—untouched and untarnished by the outside world.

It was just the two of them, and it was perfect.
