Chapter 7: Finally Together, Love Forever
"Hey Liz." he said to her and she stopped running.
"Yeah? What is it Takeshi?" Liz asked. He only smiled. She laughed with a smile.
"What is it Takeshi? We're already way late and I don't think Amy or Luca will put up with us if we don't hurry back to the theater." Liz said with a grin.
"I have something to tell you, and I think it's worth hearing." he said to her with a big smile. Liz looked a little confused, and then faced Takeshi, her right hand on her hip.
"All right Takeshi. Let's hear it then." Liz replied with as a grin began to form. Takeshi took a deep breath in, hoping to think of everything he could so he wouldn't have to look back on this day, although making amends wasn't bad.
"Well?" Liz asked, already getting a little impatient.
"I'm sorry." he said. There was a little silence.
"Is that it?" Liz asked, a little confused. Takeshi shook his head no. Strike one for Takeshi!
"I'm sorry that I made you go through all of this, and you know what I'm talking about." he started and she nodded. They sat down at a nearby bench. He took her hand, and held it tight, she began to blush and blink a lot.
"I wasn't thinking straight back then, but with the help and support from you and everyone who's been helping me I've been able to see the light. I'm sorry that I was hiding being jealous of Cunningham and Fantine's relationship. I just didn't think she'd get over me that easily you know?" Takeshi asked.
"It's perfectly understandable." Liz answered. 'I bet he'd like me to say that!' Takeshi continued.
"And I'm also sorry for being a complete and total jerk to you, and making you cry and stuff made me feel really awful inside for doing that to you. So I'm going to make it up to you starting today! I don't ever want to see you cry, or get hurt because of me. I'm going to be trustworthy from now on and I won't do something as reckless as this ever again. If I even put one dent in this relationship then I shouldn't even be your boyfriend anymore. Hurting you would make me go into depression and if anyone hurts you I'll kick their ass and all. Basically, I'm never ever from now on never going to leave your side again. I swear it I promise I-mmph!" he cried as Liz shut his lips tightly. He looked at her with a puzzled look, and she looked back at him with a caring smile.
"Gosh Takeshi, you're such a talker. I forgive you, now stop rambling." she said to him and he relaxed his shoulders. When she let go he laughed.
"Say Liz...thanks for being so understandable and stuff. I really appreciate that." Takeshi said to her. When they were itching closer, ready for a kiss, Takeshi closed his eyes and moved foward. When the two were just inches apart, Takeshi's head connected with an angry fist.
"Gah! Liz what was that for!" Takeshi cried.
"FOR MAKING ME WORRY AND DUMP YOU! YOU REALIZE HOW PAINFUL THAT WAS FOR ME! YOU SAY YOU'RE GOING TO PROMISE TO NOT DO THIS AGAIN SO!" Liz roared and Takeshi shut his eyes. Liz's voice calmed, and he opened one eye to see what she was going to do to him.
"So this time keep your promise. Or else next time it won't be just a fist to your skull." Liz said and he smiled.
"I promise. I will never do anything like that to hurt you. I'm going to stop living in the past, and move on with you by my side in the future." he said to her with a smile. Finally, they moved closer, ready to kiss. Yet again Liz was the one to ruin it (haha). Takeshi moved foward, eyes closed, and almost fell flat on his face on the bench. Liz had gotten up.
"We had better get to the theater. We don't want to forget Amy now do we?" Liz said to him and extended her hand. Takeshi willingly took it and sighed with a weak smile.
"If you want to kiss me then what are you waiting for?" Liz asked with a laugh.
"Waiting for you to stay still and not hit me." Takeshi replied and Liz laughed.
"Well don't worry I won't move and most certainly not hit you next time. Now come on, let's head back to Amy and Luca before Luca gets angry at us." Liz said and the two rushed off. As they ran, in the distance there was Fantine and Cunningham. Fantine and Cunningham watched the two as they began to fade away in the distance. Fantine was leaning on Cunningham's chest while he wrapped his arm around her. They were glad that finally, Takeshi and Liz were a true pair.
"I'm so sorry that you got beaten to a pulp by Liz. I didn't think she'd be here frankly." Fantine said apologetically.
"It's all right...God does she pack a hellova punch I must admit." Cunningham replied painfully with a smile as he had his hand behind his head with a chuckle.
Amy made sure no one touched the little envelope that was on the bench she and Luca had waited for the return of their teammates ever since Liz mysteriously disappeared. She giggled and was so happy at her plan. It was perfect. 'I'm sure Takeshi and Liz will like my surprise.' Amy thought with an excited squee and felt Luca stretch.
"Luca, do you think Takeshi and Liz will like my present?" Amy asked. Luca meowed with a yawn. "Yeah you're right. They won't like it, they'll love it!" Amy answered with another giggle. She looked out, and saw two familiar faces. Thankfully they didn't see Amy and she and Luca hid at the side of the theater. They peeked out to see what would happen.
"Liz, are you sure you left Amy and Luca here?" Takeshi asked, seeing no one.
"Of course I'm sure! We were waiting right here!" Liz exclaimed.
"Are you sure you didn't lead us to the right theater?" Takeshi asked and Liz got angered.
"OF COURSE I'M SURE!" she roared and the scene showed Liz towering over a cowering and very tiny Takeshi with sweatdrops behind his head. Flaming colors could be seen in the backround of the two's bickering. Amy had her eyes narrow, and Luca had his closed to show slits that spelled out, 'Oh brother there they go again'.
'I wish you two would stop fighting about where we are and just look at the bench!' Amy thought to herself. She really wanted to walk by them and cough, 'look -cough- at -cough- the bench -cough-'. Doing that though would ruin everything. Luckily after three minutes later the two glanced at the bench, a lone envelope could be seen. The two walked up to it. The scene showed both of them looking down, staring at the print. It read: 'To Takeshi and Liz' They both looked at eachother, and back at the letter. 'Pick it up! Bakas...' Amy thought to herself with a playful smile. Finally Liz had the brains to pick the envelope up and open it. She read outloud.
Dear Takeshi and Liz,
Luca wanted to go home for a cat nap so I got both of you tickets to the 3 o'clock movie entitled "Love Forever". I hope you enjoy the movie you guys, you make such a kawaii couple! -Your pal, Amy
Liz took out the tickets, and the two smiled. Already it was 2:55. They looked to where Amy was hiding. She squeaked and pulled back. When she came back out, they still looked at her and smiled kindly. Then they went into the theater. Amy smiled happily and picked Luca up in her arms. 'You're welcome guys. It's the least I can do.' Amy thought to herself and walked happily back home, Luca was ready to go for that cat nap any second now. Besides, if he didn't get it he'd be grumpy the next day!
Liz and Takeshi entered the theater, the movie was about to begin. Strangely, there wasn't anyone else in this theater room. Had Amy planned this too? She was such a good friend, they'd have to repay her some day. They took their seats in the center row, and sat down quietly. When the movie began, the more they watched the more they wanted to kiss. Near the end of the movie, the romantic music played, and Liz and Takeshi looked at eachother. The scene showed them, center row, looking at eachother passionately, the movie could be seen in the backround. When the romantic piece reached the climax, the two closed their eyes and locked in a loving kiss. In the backround, the couple in the movie did the same. When the movie had ended, the romantic music began to fade. As the room began to grow dark, the last thing that could be seen was Liz and Takeshi, still locked in that one kiss that lasted forever...
9 years passed since that day where Takeshi made amends, and he and Liz were a true couple once more. The Team became the champions during IG-1 again after their many battles, finally going to the top once more, and after their IG careers had ended, Takeshi still always kept his promise. He never made a mistake, never made his love cry, never hurt her feelings. Now, the true love began, for on July 16, 2059, Liz Ricarro and Takeshi Jin were no officially a married couple. It was the happiest day of their lives, and it would continue to be from then and there. For now, they'd truly live, and they'd truly Love Forever.
