Chapter 3: The Friendship expands

(Trowa still hasn't stopped thinking about Maya, but is this true that he had broken his promise to never love again? 3 months have passed, and he wanted to be left behind, but the ship wanted him back on board. So he was sent back to Spain with the sailors. he couldn't eat or sleep. All he could ever dreamed was Maya, then he had a flashback. Flashback: Trowa and Midii ran from the battle scene. They started to hide behind a huge piece of debris of what is left at the church. Midii spotted a lost puppy from view.)

Midii: Oh my god, I need to go get him!

Trowa: No! You can't do this!

Midii: Trowa, I can't just leave this pup all by himself!

Trowa: If you go out there, it's over!

Midii: What do you mean it's over?

Trowa: You're life! That's what's over, if you go out there! You'll never know when it's safe!

Midii: Please, Trowa!

(They stared at each other and kissed. Midii told him that she'll won't be there long. So she tries to grab the pup away from the battlescene. She got the pup and started to ran as fast as she could, then shots fired. Bang! Midii was hit at the chest but not at the heart. She and the pup fell.)

Trowa(shouting): Midii!!!

(He ran towards her, then he carried her to the nearby hospital.)

Trowa: I need a nurse!!!

Nurse #1: What happened?

Trowa: Midii and the pup are wounded!

Nurse #1: Okay I'll get someone right away!

Trowa: Oh, thank you.

(Then he says it to Midii.)

Trowa(holding Midii): It's okay! You'll live! You're gonna make it, just hang on!

(Then the nurses took Midii to the emergency room, and another nurse took the pup to the vetenarian. It's been 4 hours since Midii was wounded, trying to save the pup. The nurse came back and she wasn't happy.)

Nurse #2: I have some bad news.

(Trowa heard the bad news that Midii died of a gun shot after they removed the bullet from her chest. Trowa burst into tears. The pup, however, was alive, and Trowa later adopted him. Back to reality, Trowa now has another girl he needs to protect, this time, he's not letting her die. 2 Months later, Trowa sailed back to the New world to see Maya again. As he got there, he didn't know that Maya was waiting for him.)

Trowa: How did you know that I came back?

Maya: You said it yourself that you're going to see me again.

Trowa: Oh, right.

(At the forest, Trowa and Maya sat near the river. Trowa doesn't seemed like himself lately.)

Maya: What's a matter, Trowa?

Trowa: Nothing.

Maya: Nothing?

Trowa: Yeah.

Maya: Oh, I thought you were sad. Well, I didn't want to bother you or anything so I was wondering...

Trowa: It's okay. It's just that... I'm bored... So can I go with you?

Maya: What?

Trowa: You know... um... where you live?

Maya: Oh, that? Um I don't know if it's okay...

Trowa: Are you alone right now?

Maya: There's no one there in the house, and...

Trowa: Great! Let's go

Maya: What? Wait!

(Maya catches up with Trowa.)

Maya: Don't you think that's a little too fast?

Trowa: You said that no one is there at the house right now, right?

Maya: Yeah, so?

Trowa: So, we're going

(Trowa grabs Maya by the wrist and they started to run towards the palace.)

Trowa: So you worked there?

Maya: No, I live here.

Trowa: Oh. (then went inside with Maya) Wow, It's shiny.

Maya: Oh, well that's a compliment for the shiny palace.

Trowa: It is.

Maya: Can I get you anything?

Trowa: Yeah, I'm sort of hungry right know.

Maya(gasp): Oh my, I'll start right away

(Trowa was going to say something to her, but she left. Maya, then, came back with the tray filled with food.)

Trowa(raising one eyebrow): Wow, I know that this is going to be good.

Maya(scared): Are you sure? I made it all!

(Trowa doesn't seemed to care. He just wanted to try the food. As he tasted it, he was amazed.)

Maya(scared): Oh my god, you hated it! I knew I was a bad cook! Oh, please don't be mad at me!

Trowa: Actually, It taste so good!

Maya: Huh? Really?

Trowa: Yeah!

Maya: So you're not mad at me?

Trowa: Maya... I would never be mad at you.

Maya(giggles): Aww! Thank you!

Trowa: No problem.

Maya: So where are your people?

Trowa: Maya...

Maya: Yes?

Trowa: Did you know what Spain is?

Maya: What's Spain? A planet?

Trowa(laughs): No, it's a country that I grew up in.

Maya: Oh. Where's Spain?

Trowa: Oh, Maya, you'll just have to wait and see.

Maya: Aww, do I?

Trowa: Sorry.

Maya: It's okay (the she's fascinated of Trowa's hair.) Ooh! I like your hair. It's all messy!

Trowa(touching Maya's hair): I love your hair, Maya. It's long!

Maya: Yeah, it is long, but you're keeping that hair.

Trowa: Oh, you mean like that(moves his hair at Maya)

Maya(laughs): Ooh, Stop don't do that!

Trowa: Sorry.

(Maya stared at Trowa, and Trowa stared at her.)

Trowa: Maya?

Maya: Yes?

Trowa: Did you know you have the cutest eyes in the world?

Maya: Ooh, What makes you say that?

Trowa: 'cause I could see myself right through them.

Maya(softly): Oh, Trowa, stop it, you're making me blush!

Trowa(softly): Well, that's what you should be. I've always make the girls blush when I comment them on how beautiful they are, including you.

Maya: Trowa!

Trowa: I'm serious! Now don't you make a counter example of it, 'cause it's true.

Maya: All right. You win. I am beautiful.

Trowa: See? Now that wasn't so hard, now was it?

Maya: Only you get to make me agree with you. I never say that I'm beautiful to the whole world. It's not that I'm the last woman in the world.

Trowa: I know you're not, and I understand that.

Maya: Sure you do.

Trowa: I am. I swear to God!

Maya: Okay! Don't get all freaked out!

Trowa: Just like what you did?

Maya: Trowa...

Trowa: Hey! Don't blame me! That expression is on you!

Maya: Wow, that's like 3 hours already?

Trowa: Maya, you know that is 2 p.m.

Maya: How did you know?

Trowa: The time.

Maya: Oh... um... do you want to...?

Trowa: Hell yeah!

Maya: But I didn't finish!

Trowa: It doesn't matter. It's a date.

Maya: Okay then, we shall go

Trowa: Yeah, we should.

(At first they don't know what they are doing, but the date went on smoothly. Maya took Trowa to her secret spot when she gets all depressed and sad. The "spot" made her think of the happy times. Then she took him to the pyramids, and she also showed him the towns and places to eat, work and buy. At night, they were back to that secret spot to see the moon and stars.)

Maya: Trowa, you're sad again.

Trowa: What? Me? No way.

Maya: It's okay to be sad.

Trowa: Do you really want to know why I'm sad?

Maya: Why?

Trowa: Before I met you, I met this pretty French girl named Midii. She has trouble speaking English like you do, but she accomplished it. 5 days have passed, and we started to fall in love, well, she made the first move, though.

Maya: Did you ever thought of having kids of your own?

Trowa: We both did. I told her "Well, you'd be lucky 'cause I'm the prince of Spain!" She smiled at me and I was really the prince of Spain.

Maya: Oooh! I just can't wait to meet her!

Trowa: Well, you're too late.

Maya: What?

Trowa: When the war with France started, She sees the pup who is wandering off. She wanted to keep him. I told her not to go out there, but she didn't listen to me, and then she got shot.

Maya(gasp): Oh my!

Trowa: And...

Maya: Oh, Trowa, Come here.

(Trowa burst into tears again and started to cry. Maya conforts him.)

Maya: It's okay. Please tell me what happened to her.

Trowa(sobs and looks up): She's dead!

Maya: Oh my! I'm so sorry, Trowa!

Trowa: It's not your fault, really, it's not!

(Trowa couldn't help to stop crying, Maya hugged him to make him feel much better, but they aren't the only ones at the spot. Tecumbalam was spying on them.)
