Hehehe sorry if I took too long again. My friends never give me a moment of peace. (sigh) Oh well, just gotta tough it out and live with it. Right? Course I'm right :P

East Heavenly Visit

Wow...I stared in awe of the sight before me. Maya was showing me around the garden. She showed me the roses and the lilies and the sunflowers, but none of them compared to her...Her beauty surpassed any rose. Her kindness, any lily. And the happy feeling she gave me, any sunflower. I don't want to lose her. Ha! I still can't believe it took me this long to figure out what was missing from my life...

(sigh) I sigh not with sorrow or boredom, but with joy. The feeling I get around him... I know now that I love him, but...what if he doesn't love me back? Hmm....I wonder what Mint would do to find out something like this...Hmm...Got it! If I run and he follows, I lose him and see what he does...I may be able to find out ^_^ It worked for Mint why not me...

As I was kneeling down to look at a flower, thinking of something, ANYTHING I could say to her, she ran off. I, of course, chased after her.

"Wait up, Maya!"

She turned around a corner. I followed but she was gone.

"Where did she go?"

Did I say something? Did I do something? I don't want what happened in my dream to happen now. But it seems it has...

I walked back to the center of the garden and sat on a bench

(sigh) "What did I do to make her run off like that? ....Now I may never get to tell her..."



"...how much I love her" My heart skipped a beat. He...really does. The look on his face. So...sad. But now I know that he does love me. And now it's time for me to tell him. Come on Maya, you can do this. I walked around the wall I had been hiding behind. He looked up at me. He looked at me puzzled for some reason, but still he got up off the bench and walked over...Hasn't this happened to me before?

As I walked over to her, I remembered something Claire had once told me... "You know Ruenis, there will be a time in your life when you cannot express something in words. It's the actions that you do then that will determine what happens" I was confused by what she had said at the time, but now I think I'm beginning to understand...

I stared at the ground blushing. I knew I had to do this. If not now then never.

"Ruenis...I..."

But before I knew it, there he was, right before me. He looked into my eyes. And I into his.

Slowly, they each closed the gap between them and kissed. Not a really passionate kiss. But through it each could tell what the other felt for them.

And it was at that moment that Mint came running into the garden, searching for her sister, to tell her some very good news. When she saw the two of them, (still kissing) she stopped in her tracks, walked right up to them and coughed (not on them jeez) When the two realized they had been seen, their faces turned brighter red than any tomato you've ever seen.

"MINT! What are you doing here?"

"What...so you mean that I can't tell my own sister that Rue just proposed to me? Fine..."

And with that said, she marched off back to the castle.

".....Uh...ok...so does this mean that we're together?" asked Ruenis

"Probably" said Maya slyly

"Okay"

Ruenis offered his arm and Maya gladly accepted by grabbing hold.

And just like that they walked back to the castle.

Very happily ^_^



Now if you ppl think that this is over, then you'd be dead wrong ^_^ I've got plans for these two (and I promise no bad guy will show up and ruin it) Stick around and find out ^_~ See ya then
