A/N: Corniness, but essential to the story, so you cannot skip it! ************************************************************************ Elios woke suddenly, and looked east. "Selenity!" He jumped out of his bed, and threw on a T-shirt and some jeans. Then, he raced down the stairs and almost ran straight into his mother. "Elios, Serenity called; she sent."
".Selenity, I know!" He was in a hurry, so he tried not to sound like she was holding him up. "How could you? You don't even have a phone within a mile of your bedroom." While running out the door, he yelled; "That's what happens when you're in love!"
"Making my way down town
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound."

Selenity felt that she was getting closer to him, so she sang.

"Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd

And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you... tonight."

Elios practically heard her running, though they must have been miles apart.

"It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever think of me

Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Living in
Your precious memory

Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by,oh
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you... tonight."

They were both singing now, as they ran toward each other even though they were still a few miles apart.

"And I, I don't wanna let you know
I, I drown in your memory
I,I don't wanna let this go
I, I've fallen...

Making my way down town
Waking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound

Staring blankly ahead
Making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd

And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time, would pass us by
Cause you kow I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you...

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you...
If I could just hold you... tonight." ©Vanessa Carlton, yes, I do know that was a bit corny, but hey, I needed to
put that song in

Then, her legs went numb, and she looked down at her feet, which were burning with pain. There was a thorn lodged where a major ligament in her ankle would be. She tried in vain to keep going, and fell down. The pain was so enormous that she could feel herself passing out. "Elios, it's in your hands now."
