Me: (sighs) young love. Hale: hey, you're too young to think about that. Me: I know but just reading this part of Tala proposing to Kaze makes me kilig all over! Hale: anyway, while she's daydreaming… hey, now I know why her penname is daydreamer150, here's chapter 20.

Chapter 20: Things I'll Never Say

"Yeah?" Bryan said.

"Have you seen Tala?" Kaze asked.

"Um… the last time I saw him he was in the garden," Bryan said.

"Okay, thanks," Kaze said. She went in the garden and saw the redheaded Russian sitting on a bench. Kaze took a deep breath. 'This is it Kaze,' Kaze thought to herself. She sat next to Tala, cheeks starting to heat up. "Um… hi Tala…" Kaze said shyly. Tala turned his head to see her.

"Uh… hey Kaze," Tala said, cheeks bright red. 'Okay Valkov, try to calm down and give her the gifts you bought,' Tala thought.

"Um… here…" Kaze said giving him the heart-shaped box, her cheeks as red as ever as Tala's hand made contact with hers when he got the box. She looked down not making contact with his eyes.

"Um… thanks…" Tala said and opened the box to see small heart-shaped cookies. "Did you make these?" Tala asked. Kaze nodded sheepishly blushing hard. Tala took a bite on one of the cookies. "It's good…" Tala said. Kaze looked up to him.

"R-really?" Kaze said. Tala nodded his head and finished his cookie and starting with another one. "Well… I-I have to go now…" Kaze said. She was about to leave when Tala grabbed her arm.

"Kaze wait, I… have something for you too…" Tala said, blushing a bright shade of red. So did Kaze. She sat back down as Tala got a heart-shaped box, a rose and a small heart shaped balloon out from his bag and gave it to Kaze. "Here… for you… all of these…" Tala said looking away. Kaze paused for a while, blushing extremely hard.

"Um… thank you…" Kaze said getting the gifts. There was silence between the couple for a while.

"I didn't get to answer your question yesterday," Tala said. Kaze looked at him confused.

"What do you mean?" Kaze asked.

"If… I liked you…" Tala said as the pair turned apple red. "The truth is Kaze… I… really like you… if only there was a 'no relationships' rule… I would've asked you to be my girlfriend… but I don't want to you to suffer the punishment again…" Tala said. There was silence once again.

"I… don't want you to suffer either… because I also really like you…" Kaze said. Tala held Kaze's hand.

"But we could keep it a secret… no one would ever know… what do you say?" Tala asked. Kaze nodded her head.

"All right," Kaze said smiling. Tala smiled too.

"Thanks Kaze, this is the first time I've ever felt this way to other people," Tala said. Meanwhile in the Granger dojo…

"Hey Tyson/Hilary…" Tyson and Hilary said getting each other's attention.

"Can we talk? In private?" Tyson asked, blushing.

"Sure…" Hilary said also blushing. The two walked away from the rest of the team who were training. They went out for a walk in the park and sat on one of the benches. The two were silent for a little while.

"I have something for you," the two said at the same time, facing each other. They blushed and looked away.

"I hope you like it Hil," Tyson said giving here a bunch of romantic red roses. Hilary blushed as re as the roses were.

"How sweet of you Tyson," Hilary said taking the roses. "I have something for you too," Hilary said.

"Y-you do?" Tyson said blushing hard. Hilary gave him the container of the cookies she made with Kaze and Ming-ming last night.

"Cookies, for you," Hilary said shyly. Tyson ate one of them.

"Wow Hil, they're really good," Tyson said, now eating a lot of the cookies in the bag.

"You really think so?" Hilary said.

"Yeah," Tyson said facing her. His brown eyes making contact with her ruby eyes. The two blushed. "Hilary, I have to tell you something…" Tyson said.

"What is it Tyson?" Hilary asked.

"I'm sorry for all the fights we've been through… for calling you bossy and other names like that…" Tyson said blushing even more.

"And I'm sorry for calling you names too…" Hilary said blushing cherry red.

"Actually I really like you," they both said. They blushed really hard knowing what they said.

"So… I was wondering if… you could be my girlfriend." Tyson said blushing more and more.

"O-okay…" Hilary said. Back at the Blitzkrieg's hotel, the new couple looked at each other in the eyes, their faces growing closer to each other, enough for a kiss when…

"Hey Tala! Kaze!" they heard someone call out to them. They pulled away from each other to see that it was Bryan, carrying two big plastic bags over his shoulder. He dropped them in front of the two.

"What's this?" Tala asked.

"Special Valentine's delivery for you two, gift fro secret admirers," Bryan said.

"Ugh… this happens every year…" Tala said.

"I know, Kai's got a bigger bag though, I'm surprised Kaze's bag is as big as Kai's, and she's still kinda new," Bryan said.

"Guess it runs in the family," Tala said.

"Heheh, seems like it, anyway, Kai's looking for you Kaze," Bryan said.

"Oh yeah," Kaze said. She got her bag off secret admirer gifts… which was kinda heavy.

"Want me to help you with that Kaze?" Tala asked.

"Are you sure it's okay with you? You have a heavy bag too," Kaze said.

"Yeah but yours is bigger, come on, I insist," Tala said. Kaze smiled.

"Okay, if you say so," Kaze said. The two went back to the hotel. Bryan blinked.

"Since when did Tala offer any help to anyone?" Bryan asked himself. Kai was on the rooftop, he was watching the whole time and smiled.

"You finally did it Tala," Kai said.

"Brother?" he heard someone say. He turned to see Kaze.

"Oh, hi Kaze," Kai said. Kaze positioned herself next to her brother leaning on the rails.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Kaze asked.

Me: well that's it for chapter 20 guys! Ay! I feel so kilig right now! Tala and Kaze and Tyson and Hilary! Hale: all these lovey-dovey scenes make me sick. Me: aw don't be a kill-joy Hale! See you guys in chapter 21!
