Disclaimer; I don't own golden sun!

Alex woke up just as the sun was rising in a room that was unfamiliar to him. He didn't remember ever coming to this place. The last think that he remembered was the wise one telling him that his power and life were nearly endless but that they had their limits. Then he remembered being swallowed up by the ground at Mt. Aleph. Had someone rescued him?

He looked down at the female body curled up next to him. Mia? This was all too weird. He was sure that Mia hated him for leaving her. She looked like she had been up all night long with a.patient. Him? No! Could it be that she had stayed up all night just so that she could heal him?

Then he looked down at his body. He was clean. He didn't ever remember being clean after the incident at Mt. Aleph. Had Mia given him a bath? He blushed at the thought. As he positioned himself in the bed, he realized that he was naked. That naughty girl! He tried to get up and move, but his body refused to carry him and he fell on top of Mia.

Mia yelped under his weight. Her eyes fluttered open to find Alex on top of her. Mia wanted to slap him for leaving her but she told herself that she would only hurt him. She was so happy to see that he was alive. She would never deny her true feelings for him. She could only wonder if he felt the same way about her. She had been 15 when he had left Imil. She remembered that he had given her a kiss before he left and told her that he would always love her no matter what. Did he mean what he had said or was it just a pity kiss? Did he even intend to return to her?

Mia could feel a feeling like surpressed tears welling up behind her eyes. They were tears of joy mixed with pain. A tear streaked down her face while Alex got off of her. He looked at her. She was an angel. He had made her cry yet again. Alex felt so awful for everything. He had a broken heart from hurting Mia and a wounded pride and broken body from the wise one. He felt like he would never be able to face anyone again. They would only remember him as a power hungry fool.

Mia looked up at him. She knew that he was hurting. She only wanted to be able to help him. "Alex."

He looked into her eyes. Mia could see that pain and sorrow consumed his eyes in darkness. "There is nothing that you can do for me now, woman. So why have you wasted your time on me? I'll only die."

"Don't talk like that, Alex. You won't die. You can heal."

"I'm not talking about my wounds! I'm talking about my spirit. I'm broken, Mia.in both heart and body." He said harshly.

Mia shook her head. Alex stared coldly at her. "Why did you rescue me?" he spoke softer.

"I didn't. Felix and Sheba found you in the ruble at the base of Mt. Aleph and brought you to me." She said quietly. She was slowly developing a fear of what Alex might do. He had gone into temper tantrums before. In his rage he had hurt her. Mia would always forgive him afterwards and then Alex would show his gentler side to her. She wanted to help him to overcome his brokeness, but how?

She looked at him with longing eyes. Alex just sneered back at her. "where are my clothes?"

"They're at the cleaners. I'll get them immediately." She stuttered.

She slowly got up from the bed and put on her clothes. Alex's look softened as he saw her bare skin. He remembered the time that he had made love to her before he left Imil. A smile formed on his face. Mia looked at him dumbfounded. He was the most beautiful man she'd ever seen.

"Mia.I'm sorry." The words felt strange to his tongue like he had never really meant them before.

Mia looked back at him. "I forgive you." She spoke softly.

"Come closer."

Mia did as Alex said and leaned over the bed. He reached a hand up and wrapped it around the back of her head. He slowly pulled her down and embraced her in a heated kiss. She slowly wrapped her arms around him as his hands wandered down her body, feeling every curve as they went.

Mia slowly pulled away and smiled at her lover. They were reunited. "I should.go pick up your clothes." She muttered.

She stood up and threw some casual clothes on and walked out the door. For the first time since he had left his angel, he was happy.

As Mia walked through the market and toward the cleaners, she stumbled upon a familiar face. It was Isaac. Their eyes met for a brief second as he ran up to Mia. "What-up, Mia?" he greeted her.

"Nothing much. Why?" She said.

Umm.I was thinking.maybe if you're not busy.and.uh."

"Yes?"

"You wanna go out this Friday night?" he finally asked her.

"I'm.busy. Listen, I gotta go!" with that she ran off. She didn't know what to tell Isaac. Did she just tell him that she'd fallen in love with his enemy? She didn't want to hurt his feelings.but she loved Alex, not him. She knew that he loved her, but she had found Alex; they were reunited. She had been searching for him for so long; two whole years.

She soon made it to the cleaners in time to pick up Alex's clothes. Then she quickly made it back to her hotel room.

Mia handed Alex all of his clothes and left the room to allow him to get dressed. She looked around the inn to see Sheba and Felix walking in. "hey Mia!" called Sheba.

"Hey Sheba, hi Felix!"

"Is Alex all right?" asked Felix.

"Yeah, he fine." Mia had a smile in her face, but it suddenly turned into a frown. "I ran into Isaac today. Should I tell him."

"He's head over heels for you, Mia." Said Sheba. "It may break him."

"Sheba's right, but you still have to tell him. He'll be angry with you if he finds out on his own." Said Felix.

"How should I tell him?" asked Mia.

"Just tell him the next time you see him." Said Sheba.

Right as they were talking about the dilemma, Alex staggered into the room. Felix eyed him cautiously. "Is that how you greet an old friend?" asked Alex.

"Old friend?" said Felix. "You're not my friend."

Alex rolled his eyes. "Oh, I'm hurt!" he said sarcastically.

"Be nice, Alex." Said Mia. "They were the ones that rescued you last night."

Alex couldn't believe this. They had rescued him. "Why?"

"Well, we weren't just gonna let you die out there." Said Sheba. "I'd make us look bad!" she joked.

"Well that's comforting." Said Alex.

"Oh, they don't mean it! C'mon, Alex you're not fully healed. It could hurt you to just walk around like that!" Said Mia.

"I don't need you help, woman!" he said as he walked into the open room and fell on his face. Mia rushed to his side. He tried hard to get up.

"Leave me alone!" he shouted then retreated to his room and slammed the door.
