Chapter 12: Starry Nights
Later that day…
It was around 8:00 PM at the palace and everyone was getting ready for the feast. Everyone was getting dressed into their best formal attire. Chris was in his room and he was dressed in a black tuxedo with a black tie and black shoes. He had just finished polishing his shoes and was looking at himself in the mirror to make sure that everything was in order. He went over to his suitcase and pulled out a couple of cufflinks. The cufflinks were in the shape of stars. The glowed brightly with the energy of light. He was combing his hair when a guard knocked on the door. Chris finished combing his hair and opened the door. It was a green Yoshi guard who was armed with a Chinese Sword.
"Sir, it is time for the feast. Princess Sheila asks that you come to the courtyard." the guard said.
"Ok, I'm coming." Chris said.
"Please follow me." the guard said.
Chris left his room and followed the guard to the courtyard. They went down the hall where all of the guest rooms were at. Chris noticed that nobody was in them and assumed that the rest of the team already went to the courtyard. Then they went down a hallway that had a row of paintings on each wall. The painting were of former rulers of the island. While walking down the hall, a particular painting caught Chris' eye. He stopped for a moment and took a look at it. It was a painting of a black Yoshi raising his sword high over his head while a beam of sunlight surrounded him. His face had an aggressive look to it. The guard told Chris that they needed to be going and Chris soon followed again. They walked downstairs to another hallway that led to the courtyard. The guard opened the door and Chris stepped through as the guard closed it. The courtyard had a fountain where several stone Yoshis were spitting water out from their mouths. The water was sparkling from the reflection of the moon's shine. Flowers and trees decorated the ground and the walls that surrounded the courtyard. There were several statues around the courtyard that commemorated the previous rulers of Yoshi's Island. Chris walked over to a statue that commemorated Leon and noticed that the pose was the same that was of the painting's. Chris found the team standing by a long table where there were several covered dishes. He noticed that Yoshi and Rayoshi were both wearing black tuxedos and that they had shined their shoes. Sonic was wearing a white tuxedo with black shoes. Tails and Knuckles were also wearing black tuxedos with black shoes. Fox was wearing a white tuxedo with black shoes. Krystal was in a blue dress with white shoes. Amy was in a pink dress with red shoes and Rouge was in a purple dress with black shoes. Lex was also in a black tuxedo with black shoes and Pyra was in an elegant blue dress that she got before she left Nadira. Chris walked to the team and started chatting with them. A purple Yoshi guard approached Chris and tapped on his shoulder from behind.
"Sir, please be seated. The princess will be here in a moment." the guard said.
"Ok. Team take your seats." Chris said.
The team sat down and waited for Sheila. After a few minutes, the door opened and two guards, one red Yoshi and one green Yoshi stepped out and stood next to the door. Sheila stepped outside soon afterwards. She walked over to the table's end, where her seat was and sat down. She was wearing an elegant red dress with white trimming and several brightly colored gems on it. She was also wearing a gold necklace with a sapphire placed in the center of it in front of her neck. Yoshi looked at her in awe. He kept on staring at her even after the guards took the covers off of the food dishes. Under the covers were many wonderful foods. They had chicken, steak, salads, vegetables, fruits, soups, and many other items. Chris noticed Yoshi and patted him on the back.
"Yoshi, are you okay?" Chris asked.
"Oh yeah...I was just daydreaming for a moment..."
Everyone got their food and began to eat. Everyone was enjoying every bite of the food.
"So is the food good?" Sheila asked.
"Oh yes Sheila! This is some of the best food that I have had in a while!" Chris exclaimed.
"Well I'm glad you liked it Chris. We have some of the best chefs in the world at this palace. Feasts like these are their specialty since they can create almost any kind of dish." Sheila said.
"Excuse me, Sheila, how did you know who Yoshi was?" Chris asked.
"Yoshi and me met just months after we were born. I was born about two days after him. We met when we were about two months old during a festival. We were playing in a playpen with all of the other young Yoshis. Yoshis are capable of talking when they are about one month old. It was right there where we became instant friends. We went to the same school and we had the same classes every year. We were best friends as we always relied on each other when we needed help. During our teenage years, we seemed to have grown just a bit closer. We shared our hopes and dreams. My dream was just for peace around the world and Yoshi shared the same belief. During high school, I was chosen to be the princess of Yoshi's Island, but it didn't change our friendship. Yoshi was always able to get inside the palace and we always talked with each other for what seemed like hours. When we graduated, I had to stay at the palace and help rule the island. Yoshis don't need to stay in school as long as humans do. Yoshi wanted to bring the dream of peace into reality. He decided to join the Mushroom Kingdom Agency. He left the island after we said our goodbyes and we never saw each other again. This is the first time that Yoshi and me have seen each other in several years." Sheila said.
"Yes and I wish that I could have seen you earlier. I was just never able to see you during these last few years. I'm so sorry Sheila..." Yoshi said as he closed his eyes and lowered his head.
"You don't need to be sorry Yoshi! I understood why you wanted to join. You wanted to protect the world from everything that was evil. We sometimes have to sacrifice some things in order to reach our goals. Just look at yourself Yoshi. You are a hero, you are well known both here and in Yoster's Island, and probably in other places around the Yoshian Archipelago and you are working with the greatest team of agents that ever walked the planet." Sheila stated.
"I guess so. We have to make sacrifices and sometimes we don't reach our goals but all we can do is keep trying until we can't try anymore." Yoshi said as he opened his eyes and rose his head.
"Yeah, I still remember that night you took me to the spot one last time before you left. You took me there as one special present the night before you took the ship to the Mushroom Kingdom." Sheila said.
"Yeah. It was such an amazing evening. That night was something that would never leave my mind." Yoshi said.
"Yoshi took me to a spot that only me and him know about. We also went to that spot ever since we were young children. We had a picnic and watched the stars as they occupied the entire sky. We then fell asleep as a peaceful meteor shower was occurring in the sky. It was a truly amazing night that would never forget as it was one of a few things that helped me remember Yoshi." Sheila stated.
"I bet it was. I see you two had an outstanding friendship that developed between you guys over the years. I'm sorry to ask Sheila, but what did Leon do before he left?" Chris asked.
"Let me see…it was two days after you left. Something was bothering Leon. He was talking to a sky blue Yoshi about something. I didn't know who the Yoshi was or what they were talking about. Leon is a very mysterious Yoshi. He became the ruler of Yoshi's Island when he was only eight years old after his parents were murdered right in front of his own eyes. While the killer was caught and executed for treason, that gruesome image would never leave Leon's mind as if it were to haunt him for all eternity. That sky blue Yoshi always came over to see Leon ever since he was placed on the thrown. He also trained himself in swordsmanship and he was extremely intelligent in school. He was a well-gifted Yoshi with a bright future until that incident occurred. The next day I saw him packing some things in a field pack that agents at the Yoshi Agency had. When we woke up the next morning, he was completely gone. We searched everywhere for him, but nobody on the island saw him. He just vanished without leaving any trace of his whereabouts. What makes things ever stranger is that sky blue Yoshi also vanished at the same time that Leon did. It was believed that she vanished with Leon, but we can't confirm that. The Council had no choice when they placed Leon on the throne and now they debate if I should be ruler. All I can do is wait as the island continues its life without a ruler." Sheila said.
"He vanished without a trace. How good of king was he exactly?" Chris asked.
"He was an outstanding ruler. Whenever an enemy threatened us, he took care of them with extreme prejudice. He also helped our economy and led Yoshi's Island into a very prosperous age." Sheila stated.
Everyone continued to eat and then everyone left to their rooms to get ready to go to bed. Around 11:00 PM, Yoshi was the only one awake. He walked out of his room and wandered the halls for a little while. He then saw Sheila on a balcony that was overlooking the small village nearby. Yoshi walked over to Sheila and began talking to her. Sheila was looking at the sky, which was covered in stars. It almost looked like that one night.
About six years ago...
A teenage Yoshi and Sheila were walking down a very small path through the forest. They eventually reached a small opening where there was a large waterfall that had water that was in the color of a rainbow come down from over the edge of the cliff and into the pool that was glowing brightly with the colored water. Yoshi sat the picnic basket down and unfolded a towel over the ground. He then pulled out some sandwich making stuff and started to make Sheila a sandwich. He gave the sandwich to her and made his sandwich. After he was finished, he pulled out a couple of glass bottles of soda from the basket and opened them. He gave one to Sheila and they ate their food as they watched the waterfall roar with its beautiful water.
"This is real nice of you to take me here Yoshi." Sheila said.
"I thought this would be the proper place to spend our last night together." Yoshi said with a smile.
After they finished eating, they went into the pool and swam in it for what seemed like hours. They were splashing the rainbow-colored water at each other as the night continued and more stars appeared. They eventually got out of the water and dried off. Yoshi moved all of the stuff out of the way and he and Sheila laid on the towel. They stayed close to each other as even more stars appeared in the sky.
"Look at all of those stars Yoshi..." Sheila stated.
"Yeah...it's going to be a beautiful night." Yoshi said.
"It's sad that we won't be able to do this anymore Yoshi." Sheila stated.
"I know...we need to make the most of it while we can..." Yoshi said.
After a few minutes of watching the stars, Yoshi decided to do what he wanted to do.
"Sheila?" Yoshi asked as he sat up.
"Yeah Yoshi?" Sheila asked.
"I have something for you..." Yoshi said.
Yoshi reached under his saddle and pulled out a small box. The box was black and it instantly made Sheila sit up.
"Wha-What is it?" Sheila asked.
"I got this yesterday..." Yoshi said as he opened the box and revealed a ring. The ring was gold and it had a bright blue sapphire stone on the top.
"Yo-Yo-Yoshi! It's beautiful!" Sheila exclaimed as she placed the ring on her finger.
"I knew you would like it. It's a token of my friendship. It is something that you can forever remember me by." Yoshi softly said.
"I don't know what to say...thank you..." Sheila softly said.
The two laid back down on the ground and held each other close. A meteor shower started, but Sheila and Yoshi were too tired to watch it as they drifted closer to sleeping.
"Yoshi..." Sheila softly said.
"Yeah Sheila?" Yoshi asked.
"Thank you...for being such a good friend..." Sheila said.
"You too Sheila...you too..." Yoshi said as they both closed their eyes and began sleeping in the warmth of each other's hearts...
Present time...
"Why are you still up?" Yoshi asked.
"I wanted to look at the sky for a while. It is so beautiful when it is like this. Why are you still awake?" Sheila asked.
"Couldn't sleep. That sky is very beautiful tonight." Yoshi stated.
"Yes…it gives me that feeling of peace, even when there is such evil out there." Sheila said.
"Don't worry. With a person like Chris, the world will always be at peace." Yoshi confidently said.
Sheila stared into Yoshi's smiling face. She couldn't help but look into his gleaming eyes. She was starting to blush and it became noticeable to Yoshi. Yoshi couldn't help but blush as well. They came closer and hugged each other for what seemed to be forever. When they released themselves from the hug, they continued to look into each other's eyes as they remained silent for several minutes. Yoshi then noticed the ring on Sheila's finger.
"I see that you still have the ring I gave you..." Yoshi stated.
"Yes...I swore to myself after you left that I would never take it off. Now we are together again after all of these years..." Sheila said.
Music started to play in the nearby village as a meteor shower started as well. Both Yoshi and Sheila stared into the sky as the pristine beauty of the shower brought a true sense of peace to the island. Yoshi then got an idea that he couldn't pass up.
"That's some nice music down there. Would you like to dance?" Yoshi asked.
"Yes I would love to Yoshi…" Sheila said.
They grabbed onto each other and began to dance to the music and under the meteor shower. They continued to dance long after the shower was over and for the remainder of the night as they finally revealed their true feelings for each other…
A/N: This chapter was primarily made to advance the romance and to reveal some things about Leon. The flashback idea came to me while I was revamping this and listening to that track again. The action will start picking up again in the next chapter so stay tuned! Read and Review everyone!
