Cycles passed, and with each cycle Enzo and Asheera grew more and more depressed. Enzo couldn't concentrate during ancient languages, well at least more than normal. Asheera, who normally kicked major butt in every training game, kept losing and getting injured. Turbo refused to notice that Asheera's performance was dropping. He just went about his buisness like normal. Soon Asheera couldn't stand it anymore, she had to see Enzo again. So one night she snuck out of her room, and used Copline to make a portal to Mainframe. The next day when Turbo went to wake her up. . .
"Asheera, Front 'n' Center. . .Asheera. . .ASHEERA!"
But there was no answer.
Asheera had landed at her and Enzo's 'secret place' at Floating Point. She thought that maybe Enzo still visited their spot, so she just stayed put. It turns out that he did still visit their spot, and when he saw her his sad face lit up with pure and simple joy, and so did hers.
"Asheera"
"Enzo"
The two young sprites embraced. It had been a full second (month) since they had seen each other. Enzo seemed to have gotten taller, his hair was just a little bit longer, his voice was deeper, and he actually got rid of his 'beloved' cap. Asheera had changed, too. She was also taller, but not as tall as Enzo, her silver hair was now down to her knees, but she now wore it up in a pony tail. He was surprised at how beautiful she had gotten. She was also taken aback at how ruggedly handsome Enzo turned out to be.
"Asheera, what are you doing here!," he said, his big deep violet eyes sparkled with happiness.
"I couldn't take it anymore! I missed you way too much!"
"Me too, but I don't have a key tool to make a portal, and I doubt Dot would let me go to the Super Computer."
As the two sprites caught up with each other, Turbo went to Mainframe. He first went to Dot's Diner. Boy, was he ever mad. "When I get my hands on that disobedient granddaughter of mine, I'll make her go through so many hours of training, she won't be able to stand it, and she won't have anymore energy to disobey me!" he thought. When Bob saw Turbo walk in, he knew immediately what had happenned.
"What did you expect her to do.," Bob said.
"Don't tell me how to raise my granddaughter, Bob!"
"Why do you treat her like a prisoner?"
"What do you want me to do? Let her go off and do what she wants. Don't you know that she could go off into a game, and get herself nullified?!"
"So that's what this is about."
"What in the Net are you talking about, Bob?'
"You're afraid that she'll get nullified like her mother and her father. So, you keep her as close to you as possible, and watch her like a hawk. But don't you see, she's just going to see you as a jail warden, not as her grandfather. Besides she is more than capable of taking care of herself, and even if she was left defenseless, Enzo would never let anything happen to her with out a fight."
"What does Enzo have to do with my granddaughter?," Turbo questioned, rather naively.
"Don't you see what everyone in Mainframe sees."
"And what's that Bob"
"HELLO, You're trying to avoid the inevitable. I mean they've been best friends for seconds (months) now."
"So"
"So, he's a boy, she's a girl. You do the math."
"But they're only children"
"They're 1.6"
"But Bob, I don't want to lose the only family I've got"
"Turbo, it's your decision, but if you make her go back, she'll just go on being miserable."
After Enzo and Asheera were done catching up, they went for a drive (in Mainframe you can get your drivers license when your 1.3). Enzo parked on the side of the road, and turned to his friend. The moonlight shone in Asheera's eyes, and her eyes seemed to glisten. 'Good User, she's beautiful,' he thought.
"Enzo, there's somthing that I was going to tell you the day before I left, but I didn't think you felt the same. Now I'm still not sure if you do or not, but I'm going to go for it anyway."
"What is it?"
She bent over and whispered in his ear, "I love you."
After she slid back into her seat, Enzo took his hand and gently touched the side of her face, he moved in closer to her, his hand still on her cheek, then he kissed her, with a kiss of unconditional, true love. The kiss seemed to last an eternity, but when their lips parted, it seemed as if the kiss didn't last long enough. Then as he was sliding back to his seat he looked deep into her big brown eyes, and she looked deeply into his deep purple eyes, and he said to her ever so softly, "I love you, too."
After Enzo had returned the rented car, he and Asheera walked into Dot's Diner hand in hand. That's when Asheera noticed her grandfather sitting in one of the booths, and she knew that she had to face him and tell him that she wasn't going back to the Super Computer. She told Enzo to wait for her in another booth as she walked towards her grandfather. "Grandpa. . ."
"Before you say anything, I want to say that I was upset that you snuck out, at first."
"But," Asheera said cutting in
"No but's. I just have one question for you."
"And that is?"
"Do you love Enzo?"
"Yes, grandpa. I love Enzo more than words can describe."
"Then I guess there's only one thing to do."
"And what's that"
"Find you an apartment, I mean we can't have you staying with Dot for the rest of your life.," Turbo said as he gave his granddaughter a smile.
Asheera's eyes lit up.
"You mean I can stay here!"
"Yes, for as long as you want, on one condition."
"And what's that."
"That you visit as often as possible."
"You bet."
Asheera went over to Turbo's side of the booth, gave him a hug, and whispered, "Thank you, I love you."
"I love you, too"
Asheera then went over to Enzo and told him that she was moving to Mainframe for good.
"You mean it.," Enzo said with hope in his voice, and a sparkle in his eyes.
"Yes, I mean it----You're stuck with me for good!," she said with a laugh.
Then the two sprites embraced. Then they shared a long, passionate kiss.
"Asheera, Front 'n' Center. . .Asheera. . .ASHEERA!"
But there was no answer.
