"What are you doing here?" Meggie demanded. She was shaking and knew she sounded angry. She wasn't angry, only scared. Scared of what might happen if she wasn't careful.

"Meggie, please. Farid begged her "just listen to me!"

"What would you even have to say?"

"I left the Motley Crew."

"What?"

"I have been saving my money for the past five years, almost every cent I earned from performing. I want to marry you Meggie! Please, for as long as I have known you I knew that it would come to this!"

As he continued to speak his almost gone accent became more and more prominent.

"Meggie I know I should never have left you, but I knew I couldn't expect you to accept me with nothing to my name."

"I'm with Doria now," Meggie snapped "you should know that."

"Yes, yes, of course I know that. But don't I mean more to you then him? You can't forget what we have

"Just because we had something doesn't mean I can just forget what happened. You left me, Farid!" Meggie was practically shouting by now "You hurt me! You went off to live your life and left me. If you really thought that you could just come back and I would follow you anywhere again, you were wrong."

Meggie turned and started walking off, her shoulders shaking.

"She's crying!" Faird realized. He stood dumbstruck for a second. "Why am I still standing here?" he wondered He took off at a sprint. He wouldn't lose her, not again.

He caught up with her. "Meggie," He murmered when he was beside her. "please. She turned to him, tears running down her face. "What do you want?" she asked him through her tears. He didn't say anything. He reached down and brushed a wisp of hair away from her face, she didn't even flinch. He leaned in and kissed her. For a second she didn't do anything, but then she gave in. Her arms went around his neck and she kissed him back. They broke apart.

"Meggie?" Faird said, smiling down at her.

"I…I don't know why I did that." Meggie replied "But I'm glad I did. Farid, what you did broke my heart. But the only thing that hurts more then that is the thought that I would have to go the rest of my life without you. I love you and I never want to lose you."

"YES!" yelled Farid. He started spinning Meggie around in his arms. Meggie couldn't help but giggle, she was so happy! "This is what life should feel like:" thought Meggie. "perfect."

Farid put her down and just stood there, with Meggie in his arms.

"Farid?" whispered Meggie

"Yes love?"

"Put on a show for me. Please?"

"Of course, anything"

He broke away and set Meggie down against a tall tree. Then he started. His show began with all her favorite tricks. Then he moved on to the most romantic things he knew of. Fire hearts, love birds, anything he could think of that she might like. She sat in rapture just as she did any other time he preformed. He thought at times it was because of his skill, but Dustfinger was far better and while she enjoyed his shows, she didn't get that look. He ended his show, and walked over to her. He sat down and looked into her eyes,

"Marry me?" he said

"Any time"
