Rini wondered what she would do, she had been in the future for six years now, her romance with Alex was in full bloom, and yet, she just could not say that she loved him. Ever present was the thought that she was betraying Peruru, and then that she was betraying Elios by thinking of Peruru. Elios was sometimes in her dreams, though not as often as in the past. Peruru's flute hung on the wall in her room, and Alex's picture was tucked into the corner of her mirror. "Why must I be tormented by my loves?" Peruru was probably gone for good, and she really never expected to see him again. or did she? She absent-mindedly stroked Diana. "Again Small Lady? Really, you should get off of this!" She sighed; "I like Alex, but that's about as far as it goes with him, I don't know about Peruru, if he ever shows up again. I think I love Elios, but he may not feel the same way." "I like Elios, Peruru was sweet, but I just, oh, now you've gotten me caught up in this!" Rini chuckled. "What about Alex?" "Alex. We he loves you, but you obviously don't feel the same way. However, you cannot keep hoping that one of them will come back." That made tears come to her eyes. "Then, I think that Elios was the only one who kissed me, and." Rini could speak, for it would have come out in a sob. Diana rubbed her head against her mistress, but just then, the phone rang; "Hi Rini, glad you're home, want to go and do something?" "Alex! My parents requested my presence tonight, I do not know what for though!" "Oh, too bad. I'll call you tomorrow, love you." "Bye." She could almost see the look of disappointment on his face. They had been dating for two years, so why couldn't she say it? "I wonder what is so important tonight." "I told you a thousand times, my lips are sealed!"

Elios was thinking about Rini, brooding over her if you will. His once white hair was highlighted with light blue streaks, and he really looked more like a jock than a priest with his muscular chest. The young assistant that the elders had given him was buzzing around, always asking what he was thinking about. "Mr. Elios, as usual nothing out of the ordinary has been repor. What's wrong?" He often got annoyed with this girl with long pink locks done in pigtails, who looked so much like Rini had a few years ago, but yet was nothing like her serene beauty. "Nothing Caira." She nodded, and ran about once again in her flirtatiously short white skirt and white blouse that was cut off in the middle of her biceps. God, how she was so like and yet so different from Rini, Elios thought. If only the elders would let him leave to see her, and yet if he did, he feared what he might find, the worst being that he would find her in the arms of another guy. "Mr. Elios, I'm sorry, but you really look like you need a break." "I'm fine!" He was also very irritable.

Peruru was thinking about her as well. "Mother, I just want to see her again." His elegant fairy mother sighed; "I know Peruru, but you have to wait until the gate opens." "I only have to get through tomorrow." He had no idea what he would say to the girl that he had known for a few short days five years ago. He also had white hair, but it reflected a whitish-blue, and had a few pink curls in it. What if Rini had forgotten about him? What if she laughed, and said that he was just like a brother, not a lover? She probably loved someone else. No, he resolved, he could not assume anything until he at least saw her. With a firm resolve to do just that, he settled down to sleep.
