Disclaimer: I do not own Golden Sun.

I am trying something angsty here so bear with me. This is a Valentine's Day special for my one-shots, so I skipped the requests temporarily. I will get working on them soon.

I would also like to wish myself a happy birthday on Feb. 14, 2004. It also snowed for the first time since the 1980's yesterday in my town. I even skipped 5th to 7th period to play in it. It was so cool.

A Valentine From a Lonely Heart

A single tear rained down from the sky, a beginning to the torrent of rain. New Vale sat amid the ruins of Mount Aleph, glowing brightly into the night. The cheer inside the walls contrasted the joy within. This was true, except for one building.

The house was strangely dark, only a single candle burning in the upper floors. Alone, a cerulean haired beauty sat before a plain white desk. In her hands was a light red piece of paper, a valentine from her love. Though the page was stained with tears, the words were still visible as her aquamarine eyes reread them.

Dear Mia,

I wish you a Happy Valentine's Day, my love, even though I cannot be with you. I hope you are happy, even without me. If not, I will be back soon. I am not sure what is wrong in this world of Weyward, but I sense a new presence of unspeakable power forming. I will be back soon, so don't you worry. I just wish that I could see your face once again, and hold you in my arms forever, but I sadly cannot do so for eternity. Please remember that I will be back soon, and do not cry for me. I am always with you as you are with me. I will be with you soon my love. . .

I love you,
Isaac

Again, Mia broke out in tears of loneliness, for she was alone on this day, a day that Isaac had treasured even more than any other after they had fallen in love. Her tears would not leave her as she mourned over Isaac's departure from Vale. He had left in the early hours of the morning, and Mia had been there with him to say farewell. She had given him his gift quickly, a new scarf of yellow. He had gratefully accepted it, and replaced the old one that had weathered all of their adventures. His gift was a surprise with two parts. The one he gave her was the card she was holding now, but the second was not to be given until his return. She could still his happy indigo eyes and his spiky golden hair as he faded through the distant hills surrounding Vale. Unstoppable tears spilled forth as Mia retired to the loneliness of her home.

Midnight approached, with very few hours of the day meant for lovers left. Parties across Vale slowly winded down, with each of their occupants leaving to their or even possibly to someone else's homes. A single couple seemingly stood out from the crowd of departing guests, a young girl with bright brown eyes and matching auburn hair clung to a tall boy with bright red hair exploding forth form his skull russet eyes. The two ambled drunkenly towards Vale's main river, and quickly sat to admire the sparkling stars. A large moving log caught both of their attentions, because this log was strangely dressed in a blue shirt and breeches. A shock of blonde hair showed it to be a man, and one that the pair instantly recognized.

"Isaac!" the two were instantly brought out of their stupor as the man rushed the river.

"Be careful, Garet!" the girl cried out while thinking inwardly, 'I do not want to lose you to this river like I almost lost Felix.'

Garet had forcefully forged a pathway through the flowing water and instantly caught his best friend. He slowly fought the current back to dry land, where he deposited Isaac down carefully.

"Jenna, could you go wake Mia, while I carry him over?" he asked, while he reached down to pick up Isaac's limp body.

Jenna sprinted off in a flash, down the cobblestone pathways, though the bright houses to the only one with dark windows. In a rush, she pounded on the door, expecting an instant answer, but none came. This combined with the urgency of the situation and her short temper caused the door to soon be ashes. Serpent Fume is a plus in some predicaments, isn't it?

Jenna rushed up the creaking wooden stairs to Mia's oak door. This door was also reduced to ash, as Jenna rushed to wake the sleeping Mia.

"Jenna, what is it?" Mia asked while yawning.

"Isaac," Jenna's one word answer shot Mia through the door and down the steps. Jenna was left in awe at Mia's sudden speed that not even the nimble Ivan could hope to match.

Mia met Garet halfway out of her nonexistent front door, and was leading him upstairs before he could react. They went through another oak door to a guest room, and Garet sat Isaac down of the white sheets of the bed. He was quickly shooed out, with barely a word of thanks and was soon joined by Jenna.

In the guest room, Mia peeled the wet clothes off Isaac's deathly pale skin, and quickly concealed him in another white sheet. Her white gloved hand pushed his unruly bangs out of the way, as she felt his temperature. Isaac was boiling hot, and taking shallow breaths with short gasps of pain. Mia quickly glowed sapphire and concentrated on healing her love. His breaths deepened and temperature dropped instantly as her hand made contact with his forehead, and his painful gasps receded to nothing.

Mia smiled contently as she watched Isaac's sleeping form. It truly brought her joy to see him again. She leaned down and lightly kissed him on the forehead, before retiring to a chair to keep watch throughout the night. A quick look to the old grandfather clock it the room showed only half of an hour until the end of this blessed day.

The clock ticked and ticked, until only five minutes were left to the end, yet Isaac still did not awaken. Mia watched on as the clock's hands walked closer and closer to midnight.

Isaac awoke form his peaceful slumber with only a few minutes to spare to midnight. At his side sat an angel, clothed in pure white robes.

'My angel,' he mentally corrected himself, 'but only if I succeed in this.'

Isaac reached to where his pocket should have been, to find that he was wearing nothing. His body moved frantically as he searched for his clothes while his angel noticed his awakening.

"Isaac, you shouldn't get up so fast!" Mia scolded, but Isaac did not respond for he had finally found his breeches.

Isaac leapt from the blanket over him and quickly searched through the pant's pockets. He produced a small black box and quickly knelt in front of Mia, ignoring the fact that he was completely naked.

"Mia, will you marry me?" for the first time in hours, Isaac spoke, as he opened the black case, revealing a shining sapphire ring.

Isaac's only answer was a kiss, just as the old grandfather clock struck midnight, a beautiful end to a day for lovers. The two sat in a silent lover's embrace, reveling in the loss of the loneliness that had lived in their hearts. Unfortunately, Jenna chose that time to finally lose her patience and a third oak door burned down. Jenna caught sight of the two first, and she tried to stop Garet from ruining their perfect moment. She was too late.

"Shouldn't you two wait to do that after you are married?"

I came up with this in Spanish when we had to do Valentine Cards. I am sorry that I did not get to the two that have requested one-shots yet, but I am working on them. Please bear with me on this one.

Reviewers' spotlight-

The 8BTFreek- I still have not put in a cliffhanger in AE. I think I am procrastinating on the initial blow off the mad reviewers. Thanks for the review.

NintendoGamer- The parentheses were just for a laugh at the end and I figured that anyone would enjoy it. I am working on your request along with another one, so it might be awhile. Thanks for the review.

MK- I am working on the Ivan/Sheba, but it is a toughie. I am trying to find something that no one else has done with any requested pairings. Thanks for the review.
