Alex rolled her eyes and sighed. "What?" I questioned.

"Why would you say that? It's so cliche!" Alex cried, but her face glittered with a repressed smile.

I just leant over and kissed her forehead.

We swooped down and came to rest on the island, it's dark by now and the field is covered in the hovering balls of dusk. They had exploded all over Alex and I and we looked like we'd just finished a game of, what was it, paintball. It's a Freyan thing were people shoot little balls of paint at each other.

Besides from that, I couldn't help admiring how bright Alex looked, her face had splint into a massive smile and she was dancing through the colours, watching them explode across her skin. Her previously navy dress was slashed wth colour and, by the look she was giving me, so was I. She ran towards me, jumping into my arms. She kissed me lightly on the mouth and whispered 'I love it.' Then, louder she cried 'Thank you so much!' As she ran away from me and over to Xira, who was still perched on the edge of the island, looking amused. She ran over and circled her arms around his large head. I could see that she was talking to him so I kept my distance, just watching Alex as she hugged Xira.

"Thank you... just thank you, for... helping..." I pressed my lips in a light kiss to the smooth, warm scales that covered his head.

"Always so dramatic." Xira whispered, sighing. But I could here the smile in his voice. I gave him one last hug and ran back over to we're Kaiden was waiting, popping the balls of colour as I went. I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him on his cheek. Tanned skin shone through the space where my lips had pressed against the defined line of his jaw. Defined line of his jaw! I'm talking like I'm in a movie or something! I shook my head and, thankfully, didn't have to respond to Kaiden's questioning glance as Xira chose that movement to push up from the ground, calling out to us as he flew, "Just call when you need me!"

Looking up at Kaiden, I said, "I love it but why are we here?" I couldn't think of a reason why Kaiden and Xira would have gone to all this trouble just to bring over some more land. Unless... no, he probably wouldn't... would he?

"You'll see." Came Kaiden's response and I rolled my eye at his uninformative response. He took my hand and lead me forwards to where a small picnic blanket and a basket over flowing with food had been carefully arranged. A mountain of pillows covered almost half of it and Kaiden lead me over and sat down on them, drawing me into his arms. We sat there like that for a long time, occasionally whispering to each other but mostly just sitting in silence, watching the colourful, starlike orbs floating around and the, even brighter, stars as they lazily drifted across the night sky.

Any constructive criticism would be nice!!!
