Chapter 2
I knock on Wizard's door. "Hello? Wizard, are you home?" I say loudly.
No one answers. "Finn, are you sure he's here?" Suddenly, the door creaks open.
Wizard steps out. "Hello...Hikari." He says quietly. "Please...come in."
I step into his house. "What are...you...doing here?" he asks.
"Um...I...you know...um..." I stammer. Why didn't I plan out what to say to him? I think.
"You know..." Wizard says as he steps close to me, his chest almost touching me. He lifts up my face gently with his hand. "I've always found you...to be... beautiful."
I step back quickly. "W-W-What?" I say.
Suddenly,he bursts out laughing. "What's so funny?" I say angrily.
"I was...kidding!" he shouts. "I know about...your quest with... the Harvest Goddess! I just wanted to see... how you would... react!" Wizard falls to the floor, tears streaming out of his eyes from laughter.
I start to blush. "How did you find out!"
He stands back up. "My...crystal ball. I can find out...anything about anyone."
"Then why were you trying to find something out about me?" I ask.
"Um..." he stammers, suddenly looking away. "That's none of...your concern."
"So..." I say. "You know about my quest. What are you going to do?"
"Well, you know...I'm am a bachelor, so..."
I open my eyes wide. "You mean...you mean..."
He nods. "I'm part... of your quest."
I sit down on a near by chair. " But, I mean, that's means you have to fall in love with me...and, that, um..."
Wizard sighs and rubs his neck. "I guess... I can pretend. It's not like she'll... be able to tell."
I stand up. "You'd do that...for me?"
He nods. "Yeah...sure...I guess."
"Thank you so much!" I shout as I hug him. Finn tugs at my hair, trying to pull me to the door. "I've got to go." I say as I start to leave. "Thank you!"
I begin to rush out the door, but suddenly he grabs my hand. "Wait..." he says. He comes close to my ear. "The Harvest Goddess...is watching," he whispers. Suddenly, he leans over to my cheek and kisses it.
I blush profoundly. "Um, thank you." I say, and I burst out the door.
