~Gomen for taking so long-desu! Here's my continuation! Sumimasen (I'm so sorry)!!!! *bow bow bow*~


I giggled as he followed close behind me. I walked even faster now, trying to loose him.
"Hey! I said wait up!" I can hear him yell not too far behind.
"I said I want to go somewhere where you're not around!" I yelled back.
"Well, what am I suppose to do?! Hey, I have no choice but to stay with you!"
"What was that?!" I turned around facing him, my hands on my waist. "You're forced to?" I narrowed my brown eyes at him.
"Yeah, since no one's up yet.. besides, I gotta follow you around to make sure you don't get yourself into trouble." He smiled arrogantly.
"And what? You protecting me. Ha! You can't even catch me!" I ran away, leaving him far behind.
"What was that?! Is that a challenge! Ugh, I'll get you alright!" He ran, following to whichever direction I go.
Through the deep forest, I ran and he chased me. I haven't had fun like this for a while. Traveling, traveling and some more traveling. It's really good to be
able to loosened up yourself sometime.
"Moonbay! Argh, I'll catch you, you little..."
"Riiight!" I said sarcastically. "You can't even get near me!"
"Ugh, how dare you underestimate me!"
I laughed happily. It is so much fun to tease him. He gets angry easily specially if anyone ever underestimates him. I kept on running, stepping and leaving footmarks
on the cold wet earth. I ran into some small puddles, making a small splash, droplets of water touching my skin and made me shiver a bit.
"I... GOTCHA!" Irvine got a tremendous speed all of a sudden and jumped on me, making me loose my balance.
"Who-ah!!!" I slipped and fell, rolling down on the slanted area with Irvine, clinging on my back. We finally hit the flat ground and I laid there, tired. I laughed to
myself while staring at the blue sky.
"What's so funny?" Irvine asked curiously as he sat down, looking down at me with his muddy-like face.
"I haven't had this much fun in ages!" I continued to laugh, closing my eyes.
"You're such a child..." I know what he meant but somehow, his awkward smile made me laugh at what he said instead of getting angry. I sat down as well with my legs
crossed.
"Don't you miss your childhood?" I looked at him with gentle eyes.
"U-uh.." he turned away nervously as his tan cheeks turned slightly red. "Why would I? Besides, I have better things to do..."
"Like what?"
"Like training to become the best ZOID pilot... that's... that's my dream..." he looked at the ground with gentle eyes which I have never seen before. I stared at him, a
littl shocked as he turned to me and got even more embarrassed. "W-what are you looking at?!" he growled angrily.
"oh, nothing... nothing at all..." I just smiled at him. He stared at me for a while. We just sat there, staring at each other. Then he turn away. "You.."
"Huh?" I blinked curiously.
"Don't... you have... any dreams or goals.." the tree shade hid his face with shadows, blocking the warm young sunlight.
"Me?" I blinked then looked up with a smile up the sky, blushing a little. "It's... It's a secret!" I giggled softly.
"H-hey! That's not fair! I told you mine." he protested.
"Mine is a little personal..." I stood up, putting my hands on my waist, looking far into the green horizon that surrounded the both of us. "..besides.."
"Huh?" he looked up to me, waiting for me to continue.
"You'd think it's stupid.. and common." I looked back down at him with a smile.
