My Mistake
Chapter 06
by aya_yahiko/terrandagger
Virginia tilted her head slowly in order to see the finally revealed face of her friend. At once, her moist glistened eyes widened in shock.
"J-Jet...?!" She stuttered, her words faltering.
"Well, that is my name, isn't it?" The lost Drifter replied sarcastically yet jokingly as shrugging his shoulders. "Umm... Virginia... I..."
The young girl didn't even let him finish. At once, she flew into his arms, smiling as tears flowed down from her eyes and on to his chest. Jet could do nothing more than accept her embrace, truly smiling as he did so.
"You really came back." Virginia said, as loosening her embrace. She looked up to him and smiled. "I knew that you would."
Jet blushed uncontrollably as he saw the young girl look at him like that. "Well,... I had nothing better to do." He said, changing back to his usual emotionless tone.
The female Drifter giggled as she heard him speak like that. "Now, there's the Jet I remember." She said, as ruffling his grey hair. "I was surprised when you spoke the way you did when you were... 'Adam'. It wasn't like you."
"You mean... you knew it was me?"
Virginia grinned. "Kinda." She paused. "Ok, well, no, not really. It's just that you two had too many similarities."
Jet rolled his eyes. "I knew I was too obvious."
The young lady chuckled, and as she did, Jet noticed that her laugh was much more full of life now, rather than it was awhile ago, when he still hadn't revealed himself. "You're still the same old you," He said, as looking down to her emerald eyes. "... still a chatterbox."
Virginia punched him lightly in the shoulder. Lightly, because she was still in his arms, after all. "For once, I thought you'd say something nice. But I guess not." She said, as noticing that they were still in a certain position. He seemed to notice it too, 'cause both of them were dark crimson red as they immediately let go.
"Uh... I- I..." The young man stuttered, his cheeks emitting heat. He scratched and bent his head, as if not knowing what to say.
The young woman grinned, but her cheeks were also burning. She looked at him with eyes full of light and brightness. "I'm... glad you came back, Jet." She said, as slowly tilting her head to face the night sky. "I never knew shooting stars were that effective."
Jet cocked an eyebrow. "What?" He said, his voice confused and curious. Why the heck was she speaking about shooting stars now?
Virginia smiled and giggled as she heard his reply. "The shooting star, it was effective." She pointed out, as looking back at him. "You make a wish when you see a shooting star, right?"
The boy could only nod, his mind still shuffled about what she was saying. "Yeah... so what?" He said, as moving closer to her, and facing her also. He stared at her eyes, and he could see the elated sparkle that glowed from within them.
The young lady's cheeks burned as she saw him look at her like that. She faced him completely, her head slightly facing upward. He was taller than her, after all. "Well, I think my wish was granted."
Jet rolled his eyes, his attitude returning to what it was 2 years ago, just for the moment. "Whatever."
Virginia pushed him slightly, while grinning ever so broadly. "Oh, just shut up, Jet." She said jokingly, her push bringing him down to the grass. He tumbled and brought her along with him, both of them lying in the soft green blanket of nature.
"What was that for?!" The girl demanded, her voice angry yet full of laughter. His pull had taken her aback, she wasn't even expecting him to fall. Her back was flat on the ground, while he lay right beside her.
"First things first,... I should be asking that." He replied, his back on the grass also. "You sure have some hidden strength."
The young female Drifter giggled as her orbs saw the sky. "That's what you get for giving me a 'Whatever' reply." She paused and added teasingly, "And I thought you had changed."
He rolled his eyes again. He turned to face her, as sitting up and getting into a cross legged position. "Well, I have changed. In more ways than you can think."
She stood up as well, fixing herself as doing so. She then went behind him, kneeling down and letting her head linger just above his shoulder. "And you expect me to believe you?"
Before he replied, Jet turned his head to face her. He flushed as he noticed that their faces were only inches apart. And so as he turned without grace, unknowingly, surprisingly, his lips met hers.
Virginia's eyes widened as she felt something warm lock onto her own lips. She closed her eyes unconciously, and she could feel her knees weakening. Her cheeks were now a dark crimson red, and then suddenly, mostly due to her surprise (and weak knees, hehehe), she toppled over and fell into Jet's embrace.
"Uh... I..." She was able to mutter to the person in front of her, as rising her head from his chest. Both of them were blushing, and neither knew what to say. Their eyes never left each other, though.
"Virginia... I-I --" Jet abled to stuttered out, but was only cut off as the name he spoke was called out by another, and it seemed to be from the front door of the house.
Knock knock knock.
"Virginia? Are you home?" The voice of the young lady's aunt could be heard from quite afar. "We're home, dear! Please open up!"
Both emerald and purple eyes turned to see the faint shadows of 2 people lingering just outside the Maxwell's door.
"I guess your aunt and uncle came home early." The male Drifter said, as releasing her slowly. He watched her as she organized herself, although both of them were still as bright as an apple.
"Yeah," Virginia replied, smiling meekly. She helped her companion stand up before both of them headed side by side towards the house. Their shoulders pushed against comfortably against each others once in awhile, and at one time, when they did, the young female drifter slipped her hands into her companion's, their fingers entwining as they did so.
"I'm here!" The young lady shouted as she ran, her hand still with Jet's, towards her aunt and uncle. "I'm sorry, we were at the cemetary."
Uncle Tesla smiled. "No problem, Virginia." He said, as looking at his niece. He then noticed that one of her hands were behind her, as if holding something. He scoped out what was at her back, only to be surprised at what he could see. "Jet?! My boy, is that you?"
"Uh..." Jet started, as showing his face to Virginia's aunt and uncle. He was still red, obviously, and he was quite scared to show his face. After all, he had disappeared for quite some time.
"It is you! Long time no see! Virginia, why didn't you tell us that your friend would come? Both of you, come in, come in," The browned-eyed girl's aunt said, as abruptly pushing them inside the house.
Virginia smiled as she saw her relatives fuss over them. Although she was happy that her aunt and uncle were back, right now, she had just made other plans. She saw Jet nod at her, asking permission to head back to the guest room. She smiled and nodded back in return, before facing her aunt and uncle.
"Ummm... Uncle Tesla? Aunt Marle?" The female Drifter called out, as they entered the living room. "I was thinking of going to Humphrey's Peak and Baskar... but... only if you will allow me."
Uncle Tesla shook his head. "Dear, you know you don't have to ask our permission. You should've left days ago! You could've just left a note. You are a Drifter, after all. After resting your wings for so long, we wouldn't be surprised how you're itching to fly once again." He smiled and paused. "Jet will be with you, anyway, am I right?"
Virginia blushed and nodded. "Yes, he will."
"Then go."
"Thank you."
"Your welcome, dear."

"Were going WHERE?!"
"Humphrey's Peak and Baskar! I'm sure Clive and Gallows will be happy to see you!"
"Happy to see me?! Them?! They'd probably shoot me at first sight!"
"Oh come on! You know they won't do that!"
This was the arguement that Jet and Virginia had as they headed for the train station. Virginia was smiling happily, her hand twirled around Jet's arm, obviously pulling him to come. Jet, on the other hand, was struggling to get free from her grasp.
"Yeah right, they won't!" The male traveler replied sarcastically, as they entered the train station. "Clive probably wouldn't,… but Gallows?! Oh man,…"
Virginia smiled at the clerk and got two tickets to East Highlands before replying to him. "Don't be such a party-pooper, Jet! It'll be a fun reunion!"
Jet rolled his eyes as she pushed him into the train. "Fun, yeah right. You're not the one who's gonna get killed."
The young girl laughed at her companion's statement. "Don't worry, they won't kill you!" She said, as pulling him into a train cabin. She then muttered in a very very soft voice, "Besides,... I won't let them... if they do... 2 years of searching..."
"What did you say?"
"Huh? Oh, nothing, nothing."
"This is really great, I can't believe I let you drag me into this."
"Yeah, I dragged you into this. As in LITERALLY."
"I am really going to die,... and that's literal too."
The only reply that the young maiden gave was a laugh, which was later followed along by his own.
