Herald of light: Well this is really a short chapter. Just to whet you for the bigger things to come in the next few days :D

Disclaimer: Nope, still don't own 009. But I do wish to express my feelings if anyone should ever, without permission, use my 0021 (Jedi) character without permission, I will not be happy!


Chapter 5: When all that is left is love…

Date: June 18, 2055

Location: Normandy, France

The waves caressed the sandy shore just as he was doing to her shoulder. Light, gentle, steady, without a single hesitation in his movement. The moon shone brightly in the sky, it was just about the right time for him to make his move.

"My dear," the Frenchman said as he arranged himself onto one knee, "I would be honored if you would be with me for the rest of my life." And with that he produced a box with a diamond ring in it.

"Oh Pierre!" She said, she had been expecting this all night. Why else would he have gone to the trouble of insisting that we go to the beach at this time of the night? "I will! I will. Oh dear God I will!" She shrieked as she hugged him. They sat back down and silently watched the shore, as the waves kept easing themselves up and then back down.

"Oh look! A shooting star! Let's make a wish!" The girl shouted as she pointed to a bright streak in the sky. "And look! Another! And another!? Pierre, was there supposed to be a meteor shower tonight?"

"The news didn't say anything about it. It must be a sign from God that our marriage is meant to be." Pierre said as he thought silently about how that many meteors don't just all of a sudden appear without a good reason.

But what could it be……


Herald of light: Okay, I just had to put this chapter in before I went to bed. This set up for the rest of the story would have bugged me forever if I hadn't posted it. I am really sorry about the cliffhanger though; I guess that you will just have to cope until then.
