This chapter has also had a lot of major changes. Sorry I've never been that good at action scenes.

Chapter 8: Happiness...
(Brad's point of view)
I awoke early the next morning, after having a wonderful dream. Of course it had Diana in it. Though I opened my eyes to see Diana lying on her hospital bed. I still held her cold in mine.
"I'm so glad you still alive." I said knowing she couldn't hear me.
Just then Rini ran in, "Brad I have to leave now with the Asteroid Quartet, we're going to get her crystal back!"
"Wait! Let me come with you!" I said, stopping her from leaving. "She saved my life now I have to save hers! I will come and nothing you can say will stop me!"
Rini stood there speechless. "Umm ... well ok then... I'll meet you out in the garden in five minutes?" she asked.
"Yeah," I started, then she left the room. I hesitated as I left Diana... I really had to pull myself away from her. Right before I gave her a quick kiss against her cold cheek. I really wish I could kiss her when she's conscious...
Then I quickly dashed for my room to grab my sword... the only weapon I had to protect her. This sword was once my father's but that was before he and my mother died... I almost started to cry as I thought back to them, but I pulled myself together and ran towards the garden.
When I got there the scouts were already transformed and ready to teleport.

When we got to the ice palace, it was just as cold and icy as before but now it seemed cooler because I wanted revenge.
I ran into her cold palace and without thinking just out of anger I yelled, "Give her crystal back now!"
"Brad wait-" Rini said yelling as she chased me in.
"Oh so look whose back. Oh and your angrier than ever..." Kaguya said evilly. "Well, I'll play your little game." She said as he snow dancers attacked.
"Pink Crystal Imagination!" Minimoon yelled before Kaguya could hurt anyone.
Kaguya retaliated and threw a blue sphere of energy at me. I landed on my back on the cold floor. She thought I was dead so she threw Diana's crystal at me.
"Now I've killed you both! Now you can rest in peace together!"
I used the last of my energy to catch it.
"I am not going to let Diana die!" I said weakly, using all my strength to stand up.
Kaguya was very mad that she had not succeeded in killing me. She was getting very furious and was going to attack viciously any second.
"We got the crystal so we better get going NOW!" Ceres yelled.
We all quickly dashed out of her palace and they grabbed hands with me in the middle, and sailor teleported back to Crystal Tokyo.
Without thinking I ran with all my strength into the palace. I don't think I've ever ran so fast in my life, though my whole body ached. I dashed into the medical room that Diana was in.
I held the crystal in front of her and soon it flashed brightly and was absorbed into her.
She opened her eyes they were now back to normal, "Brad?!" she asked.
I couldn't keep up my strength anymore, and I just blacked out.

(Later the next day {Still Brad's POV})
I opened my eyes. Finding myself now lying on the hospital bed.
"You're awake!" Diana yelled with joy, quickly hugging me.
"Diana are you okay?" I asked.
"I'm great thanks to you!" she said with happiness.
"But...I didn't do anything." I said sadly.
"Yes you did! Brad you risked your life for me!" she said.
"You did the same for me." I replied.
"So how are you feeling?" she asked.
"I feel a lot better, now that I see your okay and that you're alive." I said.
"Amy, said you would be okay once you woke up. You have been sleeping for almost a day now. She gave you some shot that restored the energy you lost in Kaguya's attack." She explained.
"Did Rini tell you what happened with Kaguya?" I asked.
"Yes and she told me how brave you were!"
Before I could reply Rini walked in.
"Hey Diana can I talk to Brad alone for a second?" she asked.
"Um... sure." She said leaving the room.
"So Brad did you tell her yet?" Rini asked.
"Tell her what?" I asked.
"That you love her!" Rini said.
"Well... no because I haven't really had a chance to talk to her, and I don't know her to tell her really. Do you think she loves me back?" I asked.
"Well... I'm not sure you gotta find out for yourself and the only way to do that is to tell her that you love her." Rini said.
"Well I will tell her today." I replied.
"Dr.Amy says you need to get moving and have your blood circulating, so why don't you take her on a date and tell her then?" Rini suggested.
"I guess I could but where could we go?" I asked.
"Well... a lot of couple go ice skating at the pond over by the forest..." Rini said.
"That's a good idea I'll ask her if she wants to do that." I said.
"It's past lunch time now why don't you eat and then go?" Rini suggested.
"Um... okay I guess I will." I agreed, I had a feeling Rini had this all planned out.
"Okay I'll have someone send you some lunch!" she said and then she left.
A few minutes Diana came in carrying a lunch tray.
"Rini told me you wanted some lunch." Diana said, handing me the tray.
"Yeah thanks." I said shyly. "Hey Diana after I eat I was wondering if you wanted to go ice skating with me at the pond."
"Are you sure you feel well enough?" she asked nicely.
"Yeah, I need to get up and get moving." I replied.
"Then I would love to go with you! I'm gonna go get ready!" she said happily. Then she left.
I quickly finished my soup and got on my winter apparel and my skates. Then I heard a knock on my door.
I opened it to find Diana all ready to go.
"I'm ready if you're ready." She said.
"Okay then let's go." I said and we left to go to the pond.

(Diana's point of view)
Ten minutes later we were at the skating pond. We put on our skates and then stepped on the ice. I almost slipped and fell flat on my face but Brad caught me.
"Here take my hand." He offered holding out his gloved hand. I willingly accepted it.
"I'm not that good at skating." I admitted.
"That's alright." He replied taking my other hand as he began skating backwards.
"Wow you're really good at skating!" I told him.
"Thanks but I've had a lot of practice." He replied.
We skated around the circle of the large pond a couple times until I got the hang of it. So I took his one hand and we skated side by side.
"Do you wanna skate faster?" he asked.
"Uh... I guess so." I said unsurely. Then he began to skate very fast, I held onto his hand very tightly, as he pulled me along the ice. I tried to skate faster but I couldn't.
"Brad stop!" I said while I was laughing. He suddenly stopped, and I didn't so I was about to crash... into him. But right before I could he caught me. I suddenly started giggling.
"What's so funny?" he asked.
"Nothing really this is just really fun." I said.
"Well, I don't think we should skate so fast anymore." He suggested. So we just skated very slowly hand in hand around the pond.
"Hey, can we take a break?" I asked.
"Yeah that sounds good." He replied. He untied my skates and then took off his, we put on our boots. "Can I talk to you?" he asked.
"Yeah sure." I replied. So I took his hand and followed him into the little forest next to the pond. The trees were coated with snow and icicles.
"Diana..." he started to say as we walked along. "I'm not sure if you know this but..."
I remained silent to let him finish what he was saying.
"Diana... I... I love you." He said.
I looked into his eyes with happiness. "I love you too." I replied.
Then he took me into his arms, and we kissed. After our lips had parted I said to him, "I didn't think you did love me."
"I guess we kind of had a misunderstanding." He said.
"Yeah..." I looked up at the trees, "Hey looks it's mistletoe" I said pointing to it. "They used to say in England if a couple kisses underneath it they will have eternal love."
He smiled. "You want to see if that's true?" he asked.
"Yes." I replied, and once again we shared a sweet kiss
