L,O! For once this is a different song instead of the ones you've been getting by Kelly Clarkson. This one was perfect for this drabble. It's by Snow Patrol, "Chasing Cars."
---------------
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

Golden brown eyes admired the sight of a warrior, training new techniques with a pair of twin dagger swords. The warrior faced each opponent, determining quickly whether to block or attack. Each move, graceful, but strong. She was about to be caught between two opponents, both coming at her from infront and behind her. The warrior made perfect timing, as she jumped up and the opponents swords missed her, but parallel from eachother. The duelist landed a foot on each of the faces of the swords. With power, she jumped from the swords, landing in a sitting swan position, both arms extended outward, gripping a sword in each hand. She was perfectly balanced, and in perfect form. .

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
----------------
Her graceful pose, stayed perfectly balanced, and time seemed to stop, as the world fell motionless. It was unbelievably quiet. All that could be heard was the fast beating of a heart. The two opponents brought their swords foward, raising them in the air, preparing to strike down on her. The perfect position faded, as she brought her back leg to the front, and her arms up, spinning around right in between the two. She bent her left knee and kicked her right leg out, hitting one of the men in the stomach. As she crossed her arms she managed to bring a blow to the others head with the handles of the swords. Uncrossing her arms, she spread them straight to her sides, and getting into yet another perfect pose, as both opponents collapsed to the ground. Now all six of the challengers were down
---------------
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lay with me and just forget the world?

After being congradulated by the master duelist, her training was done for the day, and she was able to leave the training grounds. Now was his chance, now would be the time to ask her the question he had been waiting all day to ask.
"Hey Elektra! Nice job. You had perfect form." Chase called, approaching her.
"Thanks. I'm just glad it's over. Six hours of nonstop training is kind of annoying." She replied.
"Um, I was just wondering if you, um, wanted to do something with me." He replied, walking alongside her.
"Ok. We can do 'something' right after I change out of this uniform." She replied, heading inside.
"Um yeah, sure, ok. I'll wait right out here." He said, sitting against a small wooden fence.
"I'll be right out." She replied, before disappearing inside.
"Alright!" He shouted in triumph, throwing his arm up in victory. Unfortunately, the small little fence was too weak, and broke, sending him to the dirt. "AH!...Ow..."
----------------
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
-----------------
Elektra came out of the temple, wearing white pants and a red short sleeve shirt.
"Ready to go?" Chase asked, as she walked next to him
"Yep, so where are we going?" She asked.
"Someplace I know you'll like." He replied, starting to walk straight. She followed him out of the village.
"So...where are we going?" She asked, trying to get him to tell her where they were going.
"I'm not telling you. I want it to be a surprise, so just follow me." He replied. They remained pretty much silent as they walked down the paths through meadows and next to woods.
"Ok, we're just about here. I want you to look past the tall grass on the top of that hill." He said to her.
"Okay." She was a little confused, but climbed the hill and looked past the grass and gasped.
"Like it?" He asked, standing there with her.
"Yes!" She looked at the sandy shore and the water of the ocean. "I like it!" She was happy and ran out to the edge of the water. She stared out into the water, looking where the sea seemed to meet the sky.
"I knew you would." He walked to her side. Nice view, isn't it?"
"Yeah, it's breath taking." She replied.
"Does that mean I'm gonna have to give you mouth to mouth resuscitation?"
She looked at him. "No." Then she started walking along the shore, still admiring the view.
"Cause y'know I can, I don't mind. Just let me know." He replied casually, walking alongside her.
"Yeah, but that won't be needed." she said, not looking at him. They continued walking down the shore, quietly, glancing at each other every few minutes.
They turned around and started heading back, they still had more destinations to go to.
-------------------
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lay with me and just forget the world?
------------------
The next place they went was into to the fields.
"Up for more training?" Chase asked her.
"That depends." She replied.
"Come on. One on one, you and me. No weapons." He replied facing her.
"Fine." She said, taking a fighting stance. Chase was the first to make a move. He ran at her, throwing a variety of punches, which she countered by blocking. She threw a high kick at him. He grabbed her leg and swung her over him, into the dirt.
"You're not the only one who can counter attacks." He smirked at her.
"Yeah, but you don't know everything I do. I still have advantages." She smirked back at him. Standing up, she went at him, and he dodged all of her blows. She made it look like she was going to high kick him, so he prepared to block and counter like he did before. He was caught off guard and she managed to get behind him quickly and kick him down. He landed hard on his stomach in the dirt.
"Oww. Hey, no fair!" He shouted, slowly standing up.
"Not my fault you fell for it." She replied, grinning and crossing her arms.
"You wanna play like that huh?" He dusted himself off and ran at her. Before trying to punch her, he jumped into the air, preparing to kick her down. She jumped up, back and away from him. When he hit the ground he jumped back up, making it look like he was coming up from behind her. In mid air, she turned her head to see behind her. He wasn't there. She turned her head back, only to figure out that he had used agility and got in front of her. He did something she hadn't expected. He got unbelievably close to her and quickly kissed her. She landed on the ground and stumbled back, looking at him.
"Looks like I have advantages too." That annoying smirk on his face.
"Yeah? Remember mine?" She asked, stepping foward and closer to him.
"What, are you mad at me now?" He asked, looking at her.
"Maybe I'm mad at you for doing that, or maybe I liked it." She was flirting with him, her hands clasped behind her back.
"...Really?" He was too busy focusing on her reply and the fact that she was flirting with him. Elektra got close enough to him that she swung her leg around and pushed him into the small river.
"No, not really." She replied, looking at him.
"Hey that's not fair!" He yelled.
"You sure about that?" She asked?
"Hm, I'll get my revenge. Can you help me up now, I think I'm gonna have some problems." He repled sheepishly.
Elektra sighed. "Fine." She put her hand out and he grabbed it, and pulled her in with him.
"AGH! I can't believe you!" She punched him in the arm.
"Ow, we're even now." He replied.
------------------
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
-------------------
They were sitting in the grass, drying off from being in the lake, watching the clouds drift by.
"Bunny." They said in unison. "Cat...tree...flower...err, horse/fish thing?"
Elektra stood up. "Think we should head back before it gets dark?"
"Nah, there's still one more surprise." He grabbed her arm and pulled her down on top of him. She blushed and rolled off of him, lying in the grass.
-------------------
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lay with me and just forget the world?
------------------------------
The sun had set and now they were watching the stars shoot across the sky.
"Are you cold?" Chase asked, seeing her arms crossed, gripping her skin.
"A little." She replied.
He scooted over to her and put his arm around her shoulder. She blushed, but luckily he couldn't see due to the darkness of night. He lied back down gently, bringing her too, and watched the stars.
"Sorry if I made you mad earlier." He said, breaking the silence.
"Huh?" She asked, turning her head to him.
"When I kissed you earlier. If it angered you or anything, I'm sorry." He explained.
"Y'know earlier, u told me to let u know." She said to him.
He looked at her. "What?"
You told me you could, if I ever needed it, at the beach, remember?"
"Seriously?" His mouth was gaping open.
"Mm hm." She said, smiling.
Chase brought his face closer to hers, like she did, and he closed his eyes. She felt his lips make contact with hers, and she closed her eyes, giving into it.
It really was the perfect day.
-------------------------------
Is it over yet? (puking guts out) Ugh, I hate this junk. It's for the weak minded, and trust me, it makes sense to people like me. Well, it was a change from Kelly Clarkson though. So I hope you, ugh, liked this. So please, please review! Bye!
