Jackie looked up at the sky. Grey storm clouds were approaching.

"Matt, I think we should head back." Jackie said. She and Matt decided to wander to the battle wall the take a look at the battle field.

"Why?" Matt asked, then groaned when he saw the storm clouds. "That's why."

"Shall we go?" Jackie asked.

"C'mon, a little shower won't hurt us." Matt shrugged.

I don't understand
This should be so easy
To just reach out my hand
And know the world is real
But nothing's as it seems
Though I can tell you freely
Touching's not the only way to feel

Then, with a clash of thunder, it was an instant down pour. The two were soaking wet in seconds.

"Heh heh," Jackie said to Matt, "You were saying?"

"Okay, so it's a down pour, big whoop." Matt said, "We'll just head back and - oh my god!"

"What?" Jackie asked, then gasped when she saw what Matt was referring to.

A wall of vines and poisen ivy was growing as high as the canopy trees themselves. It covered all possible entrance/exit in and out of the forest, and blocked the exit from the moor back to the campsite.

"Great! We're trapped!" Jackie wailed.

"This is worst!" Matt said, pointing down at the ground. The downpour was so strong, that water began to load onto the closed moor. It was as if the vine/poisen ivy walls were like the walls of a bowl or a cup!

"Think we can fly up onto the wall?" Matt hollered over the rapid splashing of the rain.

"It's worth a shot!" Jackie hollered back.

"Fly!"

The two Amulets grew wings, and flew up to the top of the battle wall, carrying the two Keepers with them. When they were rested on top of the 10 story wall, the wings returned back into the AmuletStones.

"I can't hear the rain from up here." Jackie said.

There was a short silence, then Matt said, "So, what do you think the rain is?"

"Huh?" Jackie stared at Matt awkwardly.

"It seems like Heaven's crying to me." Matt said softly, hoping Jackie won't hear.

"Well, what's the difference with teardrops and raindrops?" Jackie asked, hearing Matt's words, "I mean, their both natural water."

When the rain falls
It's like heaven's crying
When the name's all
The difference that there is
Cause tears are
The same when they are trying to grow something good
Out of all the pain
There's no difference between the teardrops and the rain

"The difference is that tears are caused when you're in emotional or physical pain." Matt replied, "Rain is heavenly tears."

"Then, there's no difference." Jackie said.

"I guess not." Matt laughed.

There was a short silence, then Matt said, "I sound crazy, don't I?"

"Crazy?" Jackie exclaimed, "No! Strange, maybe, but, not crazy!"

"Then, why do I feel like I'm crazy?" Matt wondered out loud, "Probably because I am."

I know you probably say
That I'm just talking crazy
To think of life that way
It means that I'm confused
There's happy and there's sad
But maybe yes just maybe
The sadness can make the happiness more true

"Oh, c'mon." Jackie said, "You're being too hard on yourself. I'm the one that's crazy. I'm a neat freak, I like everything organized, and, I do not like getting dirty and wet. Which will explain why I wanted to go back before the rain came down."

"Ha! Good one, Jacs!" Matt laughed as Jackie frowned.

"Get serious here, Matt!" Jackie cried.

"Sorry, sorry! I just can't help it." Matt smiled, looking away from Jackie and down into the slowly rising pool of water, his eyes closed, "It's just that, I dunno, you're too easy to bug. I'm sorry if I'm hurting you too much, but, hey, it's just the way I am."

"And, exactly why do you tease me?" Jackie asked.

"I told you," Matt said uneasily, "You're too easy to bug!"

"I don't think that's all..." Jackie said, moving closer to Matt, until she was right beside him, only two millimeters away from each other. She leaned her head to hear Matt better as the rain continued to fall.

"Um..." Matt was really uncomfortable now. He sighed. As he raised his head to face Jackie, he said, "Jacs, I have to-"

Matt's words faded as he realized that his face was less than a centimeter away from his. He seemed to be entranced by her.

"You have to what?" Jackie asked softly, also seemingly in a trance.

Without thinking, Matt placed a cold, wet hand on Jackie's soaked cheek and leaned his head in, forehead first, and then reached Jackie's lips with his own.

Jackie's eyes instantly shut closed when Matt touched her face, and when she felt something moist on her lips, she couldn't help but lose her nervousness.

The soaked girl felt the moist feeling off of her lips, and her shock return when she opened her eyes to see that Matt's face was ever so close. That's when she realized what just happened.

"Oh my god..." she whispered hoarsley.

Matt also realized what just happened. He departed out of Jackie's space, and turned back to face at the waters, then he said to the skies, "Take me now, please..."

"You just-"

"I know."

"But we're-"

"I know!"

"WHAT THE HECK WERE YOU THINKING?"

"I really mean it this time! Take me now, please!"

"Is that really the best you've got?"

Matt turned his body around completely until it was like he was sitting on a horse and stared at Jackie dubiously.

"What?" Matt wondered out loud.

"I said, is that really the best you've got?" Jackie repeated, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Oh, like you can do better?" Matt argued.

"No duh, I can do better!" Jackie retorted, "I'm a girl! I know a ton about the romance stuff!"

"Then prove it!"

"WHAT?"

"You heard me! Prove it! Prove that you can lock lips better than me!"

"You're not serious, are you?" Jackie cried, staring at an impatient Matt, astonished.

"I mean it!" Matt said, waiting impatiently for Jackie to either make her move and prove her statement right, or back out and find an unexcusable excuse to not prove her statement. Matt was going for the last one.

Jackie stood up on the top of the wall, balanced her way across and kneeled down onto her knees, and then onto her bottom, looking at Matt straight into the eye. "Fine. I'll show you how to do it better."

With that said, Matt's eyes closed instantly when Jackie placed her lips onto Matt's, her arms wrapped around Matt's neck.

Unlike Matt's kiss, Jackie's had more feeling in it. Just when Matt was about to kiss back, a strong gust of wind and a blast of rain, pushed the two teens off of the ledge, and into the water, where they were forced to depart.

Matt broke through the surface and searched his surroundings for any sign of his friend.

"Jackie?" Matt called over the raging water. Then he remembered that Jackie couldn't swim! She was supposed to start lessons, but since the war started, she couldn't!

He dove into the raging waters and found a glowing stone hovering in mid-waters, with bubbles swirling around it, and a figure.

It was Jackie! She seemed to be suffocating.

Matt tried to swim as fast as his legs could carry him towards Jackie, but the current was too powerful to go at a high speed.

By the time Matt was almost there, Jackie stopped moving, and began to sink slowly, the glow of her Amulet slowly dying.

That glow marked the lifespan of it's Keeper!

Matt finally reached Jackie, and grabbed the girl's limp body, and brought her back to the surface.

Matt broke through the surface, gasping for air,with Jackie's body tightly in his grip, her body at the same level above the water as her friend's. She was still unconcious, and the Amulet of Friendship's glow was still fading.

"Jaclyn Edwards, what have you done!" Matt cried, as he felt a swelling up his throat. Matt fought off the urge to cry until he could make it through.

Luckily, as the tides rose, so did the two Keepers.

That's when it struck Matt. "Of course! The Amulet! Courage! Friendship! My Trust lies within you! Help us pass over to the Camp of Elyonna!"

The two Amulet's glowed brightly, as the two Keepers were trapped inside a gold and silver barrier, which carried them along the tide, and they melted in through the ivy and vine barrier, and spat the two Keepers out onto the safety of the road outside the moor.

Matt's Amulet's light returned back to normal as Matt thanked it's power, while Jackie's Amulet's light went completely out.

"Oh no..." Matt sobbed, "No, no! Jaclyn, don't do this to me!"

It was the first time Matt had ever called Jackie by her full first name. For some reason, he just wanted to address her that way.

"Jaclyn! Please!" Matt cried, tears streaming down his cheeks, "Don't leave me! Answer me, please!"

As a teardrop fell on Jackie's Amulet, Matt whispered the words, "I love you. I truly do."

That's when the Amulet of Friendship glowed ever so brightly, illuminating the whole campsite, clearing the skies to reveal a clear blue sky.

The young Keeper's eyes opened as she heard her friend's sobs beside her. She stood up, and placed both hands gently on her friend's cheeks, and gently forced them to look at her.

Matt let out a joyful sob, when he saw his friend safe and sound.

"You saved me." Jackie smiled, tears streaming down her own face.

Matt pulled Jackie into his arms, and kissed the weak girl tenderly and passionatly, one arm holding the young Keeper's hips, and the other hand holding her head gently.

This time, the Keeper of Friendship finally felt something new throughout her body. Was this love? She would never know for sure, because she only experianced crushes, but never an actual, eternal love.

Just then, the familiar voices of their friends came from the distance, as they ran towards them.

From above, someone was watching carefully and intently, making sure the Keepers made a good move. The elder smiled in approval when he saw the Keepers reunited.
