Not far away, Vera was just reading her books, when she heard the ring of a telephone. She sighed at the interruption, and picked up the receiver. "-Hello?" "-Hey, Vera?" It's Rockavar... AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T HANG UP!!" she heard him shriek. The vixen's jaw tightened at the sound of his voice. "-Rockavar..." she spoke icily. "You better have a damn good reason for calling me." "I DO!" I swear I do!" he yelped. Vera growled, "-Get to it QUICK, then." "Ok, ok!!" First thing... I need you to come over." Rockavar heard Vera take a long, silent pause. "-What?" she finally hissed. "-Vera, please!" I NEED to talk to you!" Face to face!" This is SO important!" pleaded the Fox Prince. The young vixen sniffed, "-Why should I care?" Honestly?" What do you need to say, that is SO big, that you can't just say it over the phone, right now??" Rockavar sighed, "-Vera... you gotta trust me, here... PLEASE... just come over... it won't take long!" And plus... this pretty much gives you what you want, either way!" Vera was confused, yet curious. "-How so?" "Let's just say... what I am going to say to you... will either resolve this whole mess... or you won't have to see or talk to me ever again, unless you WANT to." Does that sound like a fair deal?" There was another pause. It took a minute, but it finally was heard. "-Alright... I'll come over." Just give me ten minutes, and I'll be there, to fix this, so that we'll both have some peace at last." she consented. Rockavar felt a wave of hope rise in him. "-Oh Vera... thank you SO much!" I'm serious... you have NO idea how much this means to me-" That's when he heard a dead click on the other end. "-Vera?" No response. Rockavar hung up the phone, with a slight sigh. *Gee... you sure know how to keep a guy coming back for more, don't ya Ver?* he thought to himself.
Several minutes later, she stood at the entrance, waiting for someone to answer her arrival. Rockavar finally came out. He looked at her, with a gentle gaze. "-Hey Vera." She ignored the look, and gave him the cold shoulder. "-Good day, Rockavar," she replied stiffly. He didn't seem to mind it. He waved to her. "Come on in." She held a stiff upper lip, and spoke snippily, "I was going to." Then she walked right past him, slightly brushing into his side.
At the bottom of the main stairway, Rockavar halted. Vera stopped also, irritatedly, wondering what the heck was going on. The prince turned back to her. "-Could you... just wait here for a second?" There's just something I need to.. 'get'." Rolling her eyes, with annoyance, the young vixen replied, "-Alright..." Despite all her airs of repellence and moodiness, the young dog fox didn't seem to mind. He merely smiled when she consented, and told her, "-I'll be right back." "-Can't wait," Vera muttered under her breath. Rockavar could hear her, but didn't say a word. He just started up the stairway.
In a room on the higher floor, the Fox Prince opened a two-door entrance. He slightly smiled to himself. It was all planned out and ready to go. Rockavar had set up a scheme, so to speak. As his mother, Queen Guenevere, was elsewhere, as were the advisors, and he'd managed to get most of the servants and attendants out, the palace was pretty much empty. Which was exactly what he needed. Rockavar walked into the room, and leaned over. There was a rather large sound system, separate speakers, and a few other bits, ends and such. Among it, was a small portable headset mic(rophone). The fox picked it up, and adjusted it behind his ears and around his head. Then he bent the tiny mouthpiece towards his mouth, and looked over at the main base of the sound system. He pressed a few buttons, turned the volume down to just enough for him to hear, and quietly spoke into the mic "-Okay... it works..." Then he bent the mouthpiece back, and pressed the buttons back to the way they were again. There were wires all around, trailing through and out of the room. This had taken him all morning to set up, and he'd tested and arranged it all, so no mistakes would occur. After checking everything again, just to be safe, Rockavar stood up, and breathed out. This here was the moment of truth. What he was about to do, would either get Vera all weepy and flattered, at such a romantic gesture, or have her laughing at and mocking him for such a sappy, desperate act. It was a huge, daring risk... with practically ALL of Rockavar's pride and dignity at stake. But he knew it was the ultimate sacrifice... and if THIS didn't make Vera want him back, then nothing else would. And believe it or not, even after all the hell he'd been through with and without her, during the last two weeks, Rockavar was still determined to try to get Vera back. He took a deep, uneasy breath, and sighed. *Well... here I go...*
Downstairs, still impatiently waiting for Rockavar, Vera hissed with exasperation, arms crossed, and an annoyed look on her face. Then suddenly, she heard a sound moving throughout the room. The vixen's ears prickled. It sounded like.... a piano solo... But not only that... a rather... 'familiar' one... Vera felt her heart jump into her throat, when from up at the top of the stairs, a voice sang out to her. She looked up to see none other... than Rockavar himself, with a microphone mouthpiece around his head, slowly walking down the steps, as he was singing out the words of a song they both knew all too well...
"Look into my eyes, you will see,
What you mean to me,
Search your heart, search your soul,
And when you're finally there,
You'll search, no more"
"Don't tell me, it's not worth trying for,
You can't tell me, it's not worth dying for,
You know it's true,
Everything I do, I do it for you"
The vixen felt her heart skip a beat. She couldn't believe it. Rockavar was singing. For HER. He knew how much she loved his voice. And not only that, he was singing their favourite song. It was too much. Vera felt herself practically swooning, at this. Still singing, and having reached the main floor, Rockavar came towards her, and held out his hand to her. She barely needed an instant to think. She slowly took his hand, and he gently pulled her into a slow dance position, his one hand holding hers, his other on her waist, and her other on his shoulder. His sapphire eyes never strayed from her emerald ones, as he continued on singing,
"Look into your heart, you will find,
There's nothing there to hide,
Take me as I am, take my life,
I would give it all, I would sacrifice"
"Don't tell me, it's not worth fighting for,
I can't help it, there's nothing I want more,
You know it's true,
Everything I do, I do it for you"
"There's no love, like your love,
And no other, could give more love,
There's no end, unless you're there,
All the time, all the way, yeah"
"Oh you can't tell me, it's not worth trying for,
I can't help it, there's nothing I want more,
I would fight for you, I'd lie for you,
Walk the mile for you,
Yeah, I'd die for you"
"You know it's true,
Everything I do, oh, I do it for you"
After what seemed like a beautiful forever, the music finally stopped. Vera was awestruck and breathless. Rockavar released her, took off the mic, and stood there, shrugging shyly. "-Well... I'm sorry if that little performance there, humiliated you horribly." I can guess what you're thinking... "Man... what a sad, desperate fool."." And in saying that... all I gotta say is... that it's TRUE." I basically AM a 'sad, desperate fool'... who's also STILL madly in love with you." What I'm trying to say is... that I love you... and I miss you... SO much." He slowly took one of her hands, which she let him. "-Vera... I'm asking you... no, BEGGING you... will you please take me back??" It was all too much for Vera. The young vixen looked like she was about to cry. But whether they were sad or happy tears, Rockavar was about to find out. She put her other hand up to her mouth, trying to keep from sobbing outloud. She stammered out between tears, "-Oh Rockavar... *sniff*... after what I said... *gulp*... what I did... *sob*... that fight... *pause, tear*... and now this..." Vera had both her hands over he mouth now, as more tears rolled down her cheeks. This pained Rockavar. He wanted to hold her, kiss her face, and tell her it was alright. But he managed to restrain himself. He didn't want to upset her, further. Then... it happened. Vera lowered her hands, and held them around her shoulders... and SMILED through the tears... at Rockavar himself. For a minute, the young fox thought he was seeing things. But he wasn't. Vera then spoke, "-After all that... how could I NOT take you back?" Rockavar's mouth hung slightly open. "-Vera... you... you're serious?" She simply held her arms open to him. He slowly went over to her, and she put them around his neck, and snuggled against his chest, hearing the thumping of his heart. Rockavar smiled amazedly, and wrapped his arms around her, nuzzling against her cheek. With a slight sniffle, Vera sighed happily, "-I love you, Rockavar." To hear the words he never thought he'd hear again, made Rockavar's spirits soar higher than the clouds. He hugged her closer, and said, "I love you, Vera." This made her weep fresh tears, as she clung to his shoulders. It didn't hurt Rockavar near as much this time, because he knew, that now he could do something... He slowly pulled back, and looked her in the eye. "-Vera... sshhh... don't cry..." He held his hands against her face, gently wiping away her tears. "-It's alright... everything's okay now... we've got each other-" Even Rockavar had to pause to sniffle back a tear... "-I'm here... you're here... and that's all we'll ever need..." Then he brushed his fingers against her cheeks, and softly kissed her lips, sharing the most beautiful moment he could remember, with her.
Later on that evening, Vera received another telephone call. Except this time it was more than a welcoming one, for (two) obvious reasons. "-Hello?" "-Vera!" It's me, Aleena!" "-Aleena!" I was just thinking of calling you!" But it looks like you beat me to it... oh well." Sweetie, I have the BEST news to tell you!" "-Oh Vera, so do I!!" "-Oh my gosh, that's wonderful!" You tell first!" "-No, you can tell first, hun!" "Aleena, you called first, I insist! You tell!" "Oh alright... if you say so!" "-So what happened, Aleena??" "-Vera, you would not BELIEVE it!" See... I was with my parents, at the village... and guess who comes looking for me??" "-You don't mean-!" "-Yes!" It was Masevar!" Anyways, he just wouldn't leave me, he told me he HAD to hear him out, and despite how rude I was being, he ended up telling me how much he LOVED me, and that he wasn't gonna ever stop loving me, and that he'd do whatever I wanted to make me happy!" "-Oh my goodness!" That's so SWEET of him!" "-I know!!" And he was just about to walk away, and I just couldn't leave him like that, so I ran after him, and caught up and KISSED him, crying that I was sorry, and he just smiled and said HE was sorry, and.... we got back together!!!" "-Aleena!!!" Oh my gosh!!" You're kidding!!" You'll never believe ME, now!" "-Why not??" "Rockavar called me, and asked me to come over, saying he HAD to tell me something!" So I did... and he asked me to wait downstairs... and all the sudden... I hear this MUSIC starting, at there he is at the top of the stairs, SINGING!!" "-Oh my gosh!!" That is so romantic!!" "-I know!!" He knows how much I love his voice!" And he was singing our song!!" Oh god, Aleena... it was the SWEETEST thing he's ever done!!" And then he told me how much he loved and missed, and that he wanted to get back together too!" So we ARE!!" "-Oh Vera!!" I'm so happy for you!!" "-And I'm so happy for you!!!" The girls both couldn't help themselves. They both started squealing and shrieking, with excitement and ecstatic joy, for several seconds. "-I can't believe how LUCKY we are, Aleena!!!" What did we do to deserve such WONDERFUL guys??" "-I don't know... but I'm glad we DO!!" "-I know!!" And they screeched gleefully again. But Vera was interrupted. "-Aww drat!" Sorry hun... but Mom needs the phone now." "-Oh that's okay, sweetie." I'm just so glad I could tell you!" "And I'm so glad I could tell you too!" This is so great!" "-I know, I know!" I'll see you tomorrow, Vera!" "-See you later, Aleena!"
And both girls hung up, feeling so joyous, they could burst with happiness. Indeed... they had received a rare chance, in a lifetime. Not too many people could break up and get back together. Dare they believe it... it was very much so.... true and everlasting love.
