A/N: This chapter I wrote myself. Sorry ahead of time if you think it's too sappy, but I'm a romantic at heart. This is what really happened to Julia. Enjoy.

Julia and Aveon

Julia woke up sore and her head pounding. She opened her eyes and saw that she wasn't in Thundria anymore. "Wow, Riku must have done something," she said to herself, "Or I'm dead and Kaine killed us all. I may never find out." Julia looked more closely at her surroundings and saw she wasn't alone. Aveon was lying on the ground unconscious. She rushed over to him. "Aveon, wake up! Please wake up!" She took his hands in hers and brought them to her face. "Please wake up," she said quietly, tears falling down her face. "I can't lose you. I think I love you." She dropped his hand, closed her eyes, and let the tears fall.

Suddenly, Julia felt a hand on her cheek, wiping her tears away with the pad of his thumb. "Please don't cry, angel of mine," he said weakly. Aveon slowly sat up and then, Julia threw herself at him, hugging him tightly. Aveon was caught by surprise at first and then returned the hug cherishing this precious moment.

"I was so afraid that I'd lost you," she sobbed into his chest. Aveon ran his hand through her beautiful, silky hair.

"I know, I heard you." Julia pulled away, her eyes widened in shock.

"Y-you heard?" She stuttered.

"Every word," Aveon replied.

"And how do you feel about- about what I said?" She asked so softly he could barely hear her. Aveon ran his fingers over her cuts. There was one on her lower lip and one on her cheek. Julia pushed his hand away. "Please answer the question," she whispered, fresh tears falling.

"I feel the same way," answered Aveon and with that he kissed Julia. Their kiss was loving and tender then, it grew passionate. Aveon wrapped his arms around her waist, while Julia ran her fingers through his hair. Everything just seemed to melt away. Julia pulled away after what seemed like forever. After taking a look at what she had done to his hair, she burst out laughing. "So that's how it's going to be, huh?" Aveon started tickling her, making her laugh even harder.

"Stop! Please! Mercy! Ow! My sides hurt! Please, stop!" Aveon stopped just as she requested. An abrupt change seemed to have overcome Julia. She now looked thoughtful and sad. "I've just thought of something. What are we going to do? We can't stay here forever."

"We should probably head to Gia. That's where we were traveling to anyway."

"Yeah, I guess your right. I wonder what happened to the others, though."

"Me too, but for now we should just stay here; just for the night." Julia agreed and the rest of the day they spent gathering kindle and hunting for food. They ate their dinner quietly and stayed up a couple more hours just talking near the warm fire. After a while, Aveon lay down and Julia went to a nearby stream to get a drink of water. When she came back, she asked something completely unexpected.

"Can I sleep with you?" Even in the darkness Aveon could see her blush. "I mean, not in that way, but you know-"

"Of course." With that, she lay down and rested her head on his chest while he ran his fingers through her silky hair. "Julia?"

"Hmmm?" She looked up.

"There's something I want to ask you."

"What?" Concern was evident in her eyes.

"Uh... um... will you be my girlfriend?"

Julia grinned from ear-to-ear. "Yes."

"Good, 'cause now I can do this." He lifted her chin up and planted the most mind-blowing kiss imaginable. It literally took her breath away. They pulled away for breath and just stared at each other.

Julia cocked her head to the side smirking, "I don't know about you, but I'm tired." She laid her head back on his chest and within minutes they were both asleep.

The next morning they took off. Since both had wings they flew, covering twice the distance, but it was still very, very far to Gia.

Several months of flying later, the journey was getting wearisome, but their bond was closer than ever. Aveon and Julia truly were in love. During one day of flying, Julia spotted two people walking below and dove to land. Aveon followed, hot on her tail.

It turned out the two people were Raiden and Kit. Julia was ecstatic to see Kit. Even though she enjoyed being with Aveon she was desperate for some female company.

"KIT!" Julia exclaimed, practically tackling her to the ground. "It's so good to see you." She pulled away. "You too, Raiden." At that moment, Aveon knew what he had to do. He was going to propose to Julia. He knew they were both young, but why wait. He was in love. He loved everything about her, especially when she was beaming like this, which is a rare thing (she acts cold and keeps things to herself, like her element). He started fingering the ring in his pocket. After they were done catching up, they decided to set off.

"We'll have to go on foot, since neither Kit nor Raiden can fly," stated Julia. Aveon seemed to be distracted. "Aveon? Are you all right?"

"Huh? Oh yeah, I'm fine. I agree. We should go on foot and get going, like, right now," and with that they headed toward Gia once more.

After a couple of hours of hiking, they decided to call it a day and set up camp. When that was done, Aveon ventured out to find the perfect spot to propose to Julia. It took a while, but eventually he found just the place. He got back to the campsite just before the sun set.

"Julia?" She looked over from where she was talking to Kit and Raiden. "Could you come with me for a moment?" She looked hesitant, but followed nonetheless. Aveon led the way and when they were getting close he had her close her eyes. Then, he led her to the clearing he had found earlier. "Now, open your eyes." She did and gasped at what she saw. He had brought her to a magnificent waterfall with a sparkling clear pool and trees blooming with beautiful flowers. Aveon picked off a white lily and put it in her hair.

"This place is beautiful," Julia whispered, still amazed.

"I know something even more beautiful than all of this," said Aveon, suddenly not so nervous anymore.

"What?" She asked, turning to face him so the sun hit her in just the right way, making her look like an angel. She smiled at him.

"You," he replied simply. Julia blushed. "And I would be the happiest man alive if," he got down on one knee while her eyes widened, " you would be my wife." He took out the ring box and opened it.

Julia got down on her knees as well and took the ring and slid it on her finger. "Yes Aveon," she said, beaming like a crazy woman, "I will marry you."

"Really?" She nodded. "YES!" He jumped up and scooped her up, spinning her around, her laughter pealing out through the forest. "You truly have made me the happiest man alive," he said, putting her down and drawing her in for a long, passionate kiss.

After they pulled away, they decided to get back to the campsite since it was starting to get dark. When they got there, Kit and Raiden were already sleeping so they turned in for the night, too.

They had been on foot for a month and now, finally, they had reached Gia. They announced themselves as the keepers and soon enough Riku and Mina came running up to them.
