When Garet woke up, he had a pounding headache. His mouth had a bitter taste in it, and he was feeling a little dizzy. 'What happened last night?' He asked himself. Using the wall for support, he slowly stood up, and took in the surroundings around him. He remember stopping here, and finding that wierd concoction; everything after that was blurry. Now the men's sleeping bodies littered the floor, and none of the girls were to be seen.

"Hey, sweetie," Mia's voice whispered in his ear. Though low, it sounded as if a harpy was screeching in his eardrums.

"Ugh, not so loud," He murmured, his own voice sounding like a roaring waterfall to him. He turned to face her. Her pleasant face took away any bad feelings before...at least until she spoke again.

"Oooh, sorry," She cooed. "That drink had a funny smell to it...perhaps you shouldn't have drunken it."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, you sound like my brother," He grumbled. Mia giggled, but she had to muffle the sounds with her mouth, on account that everyone else was sleeping.

"Your brother, huh... I have only heard a little about your brother," She said. "Aaron, right? The only thing you've told me was that he was as annoying as heck. You have a sister too, and you say the same about her. There must be some good qualities about them; come on, share them with me."

"There isn't much to tell," He mumbled. "Kay has a really bad temper, but she's really sweet around adults of course. Aaron tries to hard to be like me and Isaac, but I guess he's a good kid." He messed around his red hair a little as he said this. "Vale's nice and all, but I wonder...how am I going to see you when we return." Mia was silent. She had never thought about before, and now, a funny feeling was settling in her stomach.

"You could always visit me, and I can go to see you," Mia said.

"I guess," Garet said. "You know, I really do like Imil. It's really freezing, but it's a pretty place."

"And the distance isn't too bad," Mia assured him. "We can probably squeeze in a visit once a month."

"But that isn't enough for me," Garet told her. "I-I have been thinking of moving up there." It took Mia a second to process this. It was a bold move, and she was flattered that Garet would want to do it, but was it too soon? It was not as if Mia could offer the same to him; the people of Imil still needed her.

"Garet...your family and friends...your whole life is in Vale," Mia said. She stared deep into his brown eyes. "Why would you want to leave that all behind?"

"Because I love you." The words were so simple, yet they had a huge impact on Mia. For the seconds following it, the words, echoed in her ears. He really meant it too. "I think I fell in love with you the first time I saw you," Garet continued. "You were beautiful. Of course, looks aren't everything, but you treated everyone so kindly no matter what. Yet you also had a spark of wit in there. When I finally realized, you looked passed me to..." He didn't need to say the name; he just went on. "I felt torn, but I knew I had to fight in order to get your attention." Mia smiled.

"Garet, those have to be the deepest words, I have ever heard you say," Mia said. "I love you too. It didn't come so naturally, but it is really true. But...moving to Imil, that is a big step in the relationship. Are you sure you are ready for it?"

"Yes. Do you not want me to come to Imil?" When Mia's mouth opened to say no, she found herself speechless. Was that the case? What would she not want to see Garet everyday. "I mean, it is not as if I am proposing."

"What if the relationship went sour?" She asked him. "You'd just go sulking back to Vale. It wouldn't look good. Let's take it slowly. Return to your family, once this ordeal is all over. We'll visit once a month like I said, then we can decide what the next move is."

"Uggh, what is the deal..." Felix groaned. "Will you please just shut up! I sail all day and all I ask for is a night of sleep without interuption."

"Shhhh," Ivan kicked him. "Now they will realze I've been eavesdropping on them this whole time."

"We'll talk about it later," Mia whispered. "Get some sleep. You really need it." She kissed him again.

"Good night, Mia," He murmured. "Remember I love you, now and forever." Mia gave a sad smile.

"I will." And she left him as if he had just been rejected.
