Worlds Apart: Chapter 4 I Just Wanna Have Fun
"Uh…breakfast?" Baralai replied fingering his platinum hair, and chuckling slightly. With a satisfied grin, Alearie let go of his hands, realizing how tightly she had held them. 'They're so soft…' she thought as she walked through the door, waiting for him to show her the way. Baralai motioned for her to follow him, and they walked down the long bright colored hallways. He didn't disrupt her, seeing her stare open-mouthed, eyes shining as her eyes explored the new territory. Finally getting to their destination, she gasped. Never in her whole life, had she seen a feast like this. Food was layered and put in transparent plates, stacked high. Strange symbols also decorated the walls and tables; this also sent another click into her brain. Baralai suppressed a laugh. It was funny to watch her react to new things. He broke the silence, "Where'd you come from?" A frown immediately replaced her astonished look. "Uh…" She had to think of something fast, and since this was obviously not her world, she looked around frantically until her eyes rested on a plaque with a map labeled, "Besaid." Another click went through her mind, there sure was something fishy going on with the sudden clicks, and she was going to find out what, but for now, she would need to focus on what was happening now. She looked back at him, and hurriedly exclaimed, "Besaid!"
"Besaid? Well that's a nice, peaceful place to live at!" He was fumbling to find something to talk about. Noticing this, Alearie picked up a random fruit, and tossed it at him, (amazed with his speed and catching skills, he wasn't even paying attention when she picked it up, and *Alearie thinking he had a sixth sense* caught it immediately)"Is this good?"
That question had caught him off guard, and he looked at her with a puzzled look on his face. The fruit was mainly from Besaid. Thinking she had probably just not eaten it before, he answered slowly, "Yeah…"
Not noticing the puzzled expression he gave her, she grabbed another one, and took a bite. A thoughtful expression came onto her face. "Baralai, uh, do you think we could go visit some places? You know, just for a little bit, I'll understand if you're too busy…" He cut her off, not even letting her finish.
"Sure, we can go right now, I'll just notify the priests and guards." And with that, he immediately left. She blinked. 'Well then…' she thought, and continues to munch away at the fruit, then threw it away.
Baralai ran all the way to the top floor to tell the priests and guards. "Yes, um, I'll be away for a few days," The priest's eyes fell to the fruit in his hands. Baralai noticed his gaze, and hid it behind his back. The priest nodded, but asked one question, "Are you taking the girl with you?" Baralai's eyes dropped, and he stuttered, "Well, u-um, y-yeah." His face was burning. The priest nodded, and turned around, smirking, the praetor had finally fallen for someone. This was gonna be interesting.
She had watched him return, his face flustered. 'I'll question him about it later, maybe,' she thought.
"Ready?" Baralai asked.
"You betcha!"
"Well, okay then, let's go!"
'Wow, he's loosened up' she chuckled quietly at this thought. She followed him outside, as they walked towards Moonflow. The long grass and tall redwoods reflected off a lakeside as they stopped for a bit. They had chatted for quite some time now, and were laughing insanely. Alearie sat down in front of the calm waters as her fingertips gently felt the warm waves, trying to stop herself from having another laughing attack. She and him had exchanged their most embarrassing moments. Baralai stared out into the sky, then plopped down beside her, and watched her finger the water. The sun was setting, and colors exploded out into the sky. Alearie stopped, and looked at the sunset, smiling, she let out a soft sigh, murmuring, "It's beautiful." 'Not as beautiful as you,' Baralai thought in his mind. "Not as beautiful as you," Baralai was just aware of what had happened. He closed his eyes, he hoped she hadn't heard him, and he was having a very difficult time trying to stop himself from smacking himself in the head. Instead, he held his face in his hands. It took her two seconds to recollect what had just happened. Blinking, her eyes widened, and she turned to stare at him, only to see his face buried in his hands. Obviously taking the hint, she poked his arm, and when he looked at her, she smiled, pretending that she hadn't heard him. It was pitch black outside; the stars and moon were their only source of light. She shivered; the gunner's outfit didn't really give her much warmth. Baralai, noticing her shiver, wrapped his right arm around her, while Alearie rested her head on his shoulder. She was tired, and fell asleep, this time, without knowing it; she was clinging tightly onto his shirt.
~Baralai's POV~
She had fallen asleep on him, not that he minded though. He watched the pyreflies dance among the water lilies, and then proceeded to gently lift her up, and take her the hotel. She was very light, and her warm breathing tickled his neck, as he was walking along the pathway. He had prayed that no fiends would be lurking around the wooded area, meanwhile, glancing every now and then at the 'sleeping beauty'. Once at the hotel, he paid for the room, and walked up the stairs, and to the door. Trying to ram the key in without disturbing her, he walked into the room. They had gotten the last one to have two beds, and he set her on one of them. Taking some blankets, he wrapped her around with them, staring at her. The radiance of her drove him crazy, and to settle himself down, he lightly kissed her forehead, and walked to his bed.
~Alearie's POV~
She had another nightmare. The same dream was recurring, but this time, now, light broke through, clashed with a ring of fire, water, and earth. Stars were shining brightly, and a weird message was spoken throughout the whole dream, the first part sounded the same in the last dream, but now, there was more.

Teehee!!! It's a curse!! I say 'teehee' all the time…my friend also came up with a nickname for me…'The Teeheeir'. Anyway, I'm starting on Chapter 5 now, so it'll be there soon! I hope you peeps didn't have trouble with the Al Bhed, (there you know what language it's in) if you do, just say the word, and I'll put the translations here. Okays!!! Time for translations!!!
For a messenger lies unwoken,
Time's circle of stars has been broken,
Fire, Water, Earth Darkness, and Light,
The spirit within,
Shall release the shadows,
And bring eternal night.
Disharmony lies throughout,
And a message,
Shall be written in the stars,
To tell of destiny's fated call.
