Mia slowly walked into the inn to see Ivan with a triumphant look on his
face. "What is it Ivan?" she sighed. She was still crying inside.
"Alex can't use his psyenergy." Snickered the Jupiter adept.
"That's not funny!" yelled Mia as she ran into her room to find Alex sitting on the bed. She slowly closed the door and walked over to his side.
"I was waiting for you to come back." He said sadly. "I can't use my psyenergy."
"What happened?" Asked Mia in a concerned tone. Mia hadn't been able to see Alex's face yet. He didn't want her to because tears of grief were streaming down it. Alex let out a long sigh and Mia knew that he had been crying.
"Alex."
Alex shook his head. "No, Mia. I've hurt you enough. I don't see how you can ever forgive me."
"No, Alex. We all make mistakes. Just because yours is greater than someone else's doesn't mean anything. I'll forgive you no matter what." Said Mia.
"That's your problem, Mia. You're too forgiving." Said Alex. He turned to face her and as he did a tear slid down his face. "After all I've done to you, don't you feel anything?"
"I've felt hurt, yes. But our love makes up for all of it." Said Mia. She moved closer to him and wrapped her arms around him. She sighed as she felt him return her embrace. "Why does life have to be like this?" she asked with a sad tone to her voice.
"I don't know, Mia. I don't know." He tried to comfort her. "Mia, I'm sorry for acting the way that I have lately. I've felt so broken lately that I lost my mind. I'm sorry."
"I forgive you." Mia held him tighter as she freely let her tears fall. They just sat there like that with the occasional sigh or sniff. They didn't get up until they realized that they were starving. The sun had already set and neither of them had had food all day.
Alex was the first to say anything. "Is there anything to eat?" he asked eagerly.
"Of course." Said Mia. "Food. I almost forgot." She hesitantly got up from the bed and walked to the door ready to open it. "Well, aren't you coming?" she asked as she turned to look at her lover.
"Yeah." He slowly joined her as they stepped into the hall and began to walk toward the kitchen. Alex was tired. He was almost ready to collapse. He tried his hardest to keep going, but his last remnants of energy were depleting fast. He kept his eyes focused on the entrance of the kitchen, hoping that some miracle would help him get there.
What happened next was something that Alex had never experienced before. For a second he lost his vision. He kept walking though; hoping earnestly to reach food before the darkness claimed him. He bumped into something (though he didn't know what) and plumed to the ground where he lost his grip on reality.
Mia had felt something bump into her. She spun around to see Alex collapse on the floor. She rushed down to aid him. Then she realized that he needed food. How long has it been since he had eaten? Mia immediately rushed to the kitchen hoping to find some form of food for her lover. If she didn't act fast, he may die of starvation.
Mia tried hard to push all such thoughts to the back of her head as she franticly looked for food. She flung open a cabinet to find some muffins and orange juice left over from breakfast. They looked less than satisfactory, but they would have to do.
She rushed to Alex's side and tried to wake him up but it was no use. He would be out cold for at least ten or fifteen minutes. She sat down be side him and lifted his head into her lap. Then moved his hair out of his face and looked at it for a long time.
Alex slowly began to stir as his eyes fluttered open. He blinked and asked, "what.happened?"
"You passed out." Said Mia gently. "Eat." She handed him the food as he scarfed it down eagerly. He felt some of his strength returning to him. He slowly got up off the floor, careful not to plummet to the ground like he had done earlier.
Mia carefully led him to the kitchen where she sat him down as she cooked. Alex could smell the wonderful aroma of the food as she cooked. At long last she was done. She brought the food out on two plates; one for her, one for Alex.
She sat down beside him as they ate. Alex savored every bite of his food as he chewed. To think, he could have died at the base of Mt. Aleph. The very thought weakened him. He wanted his moments with Mia to last forever. He would never let her go. Not again.
As he finished his food, he looked up at her serene face. She looked back at him and their eyes met. "Thank you.for everything."
Mia looked back at Alex, slightly surprised by his words. She smiled.
Alex slowly leaned closer to her. He wrapped an arm around her slender waist as he claimed her lips. She kissed back as he opened her mouth with his tongue and moved into her. Mia wrapped her arms around him as he embraced her tighter. He was kissing her as if there was no tomorrow. She had almost forgot how good his soft lips felt against hers. But then again, she would never forget.

Du du dun. I am evil! That is NOT the end of the fic. O.k. I need your input on this. Should I put a lemon in or should I not? If you don't know what a lemon is, email me and I'll be happy to tell you. I'll go over the reviewers next chapter.
Alex; vote for lemon! That way, I get to score with Mia!
Mia; *hits him over the head with a frying pan* I'll forgive you THIS time, but next time you won't be so lucky!
Alex; *all beat up* sorry.
