Chapter 9: Confessions of Love

It was finally the eighth of spring the day known as the Goddess Festival. The Sun was shining bright in the sky as the villagers slowly awoke. That night Jack had dreamt of no one else, but Aja and who her face must've looked whenever he told Elli he would go with her to the festival.

"I'm such an idiot!" shouted Jack as he looked at himself in the mirror on the wall. Jack put his hat on and started to do the choirs. After a couple of minutes he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in." said Jack really hoping it would be Aja, but it turned out to be Elli.

"Hello Jack. Are you ready to go to the Festival?" asked Elli as she stood in her goddess festival costume. Jack looked at her and put his hand in his pocket. His hand gripped the blue feather in his pocket.

"I'm sorry Elli, I can't go with you!" claimed Jack. Elli looked shocked

"Why?! Why can't you go with me Jack!?" asked Elli on the verge of tears. Jack could do or say anything. He simply ran out the door.

Meanwhile at the winery, Aja was getting dressed for the goddess festival. Manna smiled as she looked at her daughter for the first time ever in the goddess costume. (If I remember right, duke said in BTN Aja didn't go, so now she's going for the 1st time. YAY!) Aja looked at herself in the mirror a little embarrassed.

Suddenly there was a pounding at the door.

"How could that be?" thought Manna. Manna got up and answered the door and saw Jack standing before her.

"Is Aja still here!?" asked Jack in a panic. Manna just nodded as Jack run up the stairs.

"AJA!!!!" shouted Jack as he ran into her room. Jack stood there and stared at her for several minutes.

"Jack?… What are you doing here? Where's Elli?" asked Aja as she looked at him, hoping this wasn't a dream.

"I… I couldn't go with her…. Because I realized something." Said Jack as he felt his palms sweat, "Aja I…I love you!" shouted Jack as he embraced her.

"Jack." Said Aja as she felt her head get all fuzzy and light headed.

" I love you too, Jack!" cried Aja as they both looked at each other. Finally after several moments, Jack pulled out the blue Feather.

"This is for you Aja."
