Chapter 4: Love at first sight… sort of
(Tecumbalam had spied on them the whole time.)
Tecumbalam: I want a full report on that!
Messenger #1: Yes, sir.
(The messenger ran off. Meanwhile, Trowa's tears have disappeared. Maya had finally calmed him down.)
Maya: I hope I'm doing this right.
Trowa: Oh, It's okay. Thanks for making me feel better.
Maya: Well, it's fun seeing you. I have to go now.
Trowa: Yeah, so do I.
Maya: Okay.
Trowa: Okay.
(Trowa and Maya stand there for a moment, then they go in there separate ways. Maya sneaked back to the palace. Little did she know that her father was waiting for her.)
Tohil: Maya, where were you?
Maya: Out.
Tohil: Out where?
Maya: Out of here (then walks away)
Tohil(halting Maya): If there is something you want to tell me, I'll understand.
Maya: There's nothing to chat about.
Tohil: Okay then.
(Maya went to her room.)
Tohil: Oh, Popo, don't you think that I was hard on her?
Popo: Why do you ask?
Tohil: I don't know. She used to be this happy, cheerful girl, filled with joy, but now she is a sad, shy girl, filled with depression.
Popo: I'll talk to her.
Tohil: Oh, thank you, Popo, I don't know what I would do without you!
Popo: You'll may never know.
(Popo went into Maya's room.)
Popo: Maya?
Maya: Popo? What are you doing here?
Popo: Well, your father is very worried about you.
Maya: About me being sad?
Popo: Most likely.
Maya: Popo, people can be depressed.
Popo: Yeah but not too depressed.
Maya: Well, I'm tired, ok?
Popo: Yeah, see you tomorrow.
(Popo left Maya's room. Meanwhile, the Spaniards were doing a search party for their beloved prince. They put up signs, write on walls that said: " Trowa, come home!", and even pray for his safe return.)
Catherine: Oh my god, who would do something like this?
Quatre: I don't know.
Catherine: Is he anywhere in this country?
Cassidy: Who?
(Quatre and Catherine turned around, and saw the rich and "famous" Cassidy. She has blond hair but green eyes, she wore a pink dress with matching shoes, and she has a flower on her head. They didn't know about her secret idenity, Miss Impatient, the ruthless witch in all of Spain. Since Catherine and Cassidy hate each other, they would often argue all the time.)
Cassidy(pissed): That better not be my man wandering off somewhere!
Catherine(also pissed): Trowa's NOT your man. He promissed not to love again, after what happend to Midii!
Cassidy: Oh, boo-hoo! He won't keep his promise!
Catherine: You better watch your back, missy!
Cassidy: And who's gonna stop me? You?
(Quatre couldn't bare it when Catherine and Cassidy argue, so he broke them up before they fight.)
Quatre: Guys, let's not fight on this, all we need to think about is Trowa's safe return.
Catherine: Yeah, you're right.
(Then Catherine left. Cassidy stayed.)
Cassidy: I hope Trowy-bear returns safely.
Quatre: Yeah! Me, too.
(Back in the Empire, Maya couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at all. As she looked around, at the window, Trowa appears.)
Maya(gasp): Trowa! Get out of here!
Trowa: Why?
Maya: I'm not in the mood right now.
Trowa: Well, I am, and d'you know why?
Maya: No.
Trowa(closer to Maya and smiled): I'm lonely.
Maya: Oh, Trowa, you're not lonely, I'm here.
Trowa: Yeah, and that's a good way, right?
Maya: I guess.
Trowa: So, can I sleep with you?
Maya: WHAT?!
Trowa: Great!
(Trowa climbs into bed with Maya. Maya, however, didn't say yes nor no, she just let him in.)
Maya: I don't want my father, seeing us like this.
Trowa: Who's your father?
Maya(annoyed): Tohil, Emperor of Calakmul.
Trowa: Isn't it that a city?
Maya(sighs): Yeah.
Trowa: Really? Wow! So that's makes you the princess.
Maya: I am the princess.
Trowa: Hey... um... Would you take a walk with me?
Maya: Okay.
(Trowa and Maya walked from the palace and into the secret spot. Maya started to feel down, thinking about what Tecumbalam did to her.)
Trowa: What's a matter?
Maya: Nothing.
Trowa: Hey, I told you my bad story, so I wanna here how you're feeling.
Maya: I can't tell.
Trowa(softly): It's okay, Maya, I promissed not to tell.
Maya: You won't?
Trowa: I swear not to tell a soul.
Maya: Okay... If someone has a friend who happens to be a girl that you cared about, but what if the girl got raped by a person who happens to be the hero of your own people.
Trowa(pissed): WHAT?! You were raped?
(Maya burst into tears, and nods.)
Trowa: Oh my god, I'm so sorry.
Maya(sobs): Well you don't have to worry...
Trowa: No, Maya, I want to know who did this!
Maya: Please, Trowa, I can't say, he'll kill me.
Trowa(holding Maya by the arms): Who's he?
Maya(scared): I don't know!
Trowa(even closer): WHO?!
Maya(scared): You're scaring me!!
Trowa: Please, tell me, who it is?
(Maya paused for the moment, but then she comes clean.)
Maya(quietly): Tecumbalam.
Trowa: What? Who?
Maya(cries): It was Tecumbalam!!!
(Trowa was in shock when heard that the man whom he bumped into was the same man that raped Maya. Maya was crying so hard she had trouble explaining. Trowa tries to cheer her up, but he became angry. His eyes were red like the flames on the torch. He was so angry, that he explodes with anger.)
Maya(scared): Trowa? Are you okay?
(Trowa didn't say a word.)
Maya(scared): Are you mad at me?
Trowa(with anger): No.
Maya: Is it something that he did?
Trowa(pissed): You damn right it's something that he did! I can't believe he would do this to you!!!
Maya: Oh god, Trowa, please calm down, everyone will hear you!
Trowa(beyond pissed): Then let them hear it!!
Maya: Trowa, please...
Trowa: Is there something else he did to you.
Maya: I don't want to say it out loud!
Trowa: It's all right, just whisper it in my ear.
(Maya went closer to Trowa and whispered about the beatings Tecumbalam gave her. Trowa got even angrier than ever.)
Trowa(pissed): If I see his face again, I'll will KILL him!!!
Maya: If he killed you, then I'll be all alone!
Trowa: What?
Maya: I hate being alone... One time I was alone in the woods, he would have his men looking for me... but, everytime I was hiding, they would never find me, because I'm a good hider, and I'm also fat, too.
Trowa: You're not fat!
Maya: You don't understand! Look at me, I'm 5 feet tall, very long blond hair, I can't run fast enough, and I have trouble speaking English, because, my first language is Spanish.
Trowa: And don't forget about those beautiful baby blue eyes.
Maya: Who gives a damn about me, I'm not pretty!
(Maya ran to the tree, further away, and looked at the sky.)
Maya: I can't be who you want me to be. I'm not the perfect person you wished for. I know that no one is perfect, but I'm not ready when it's time to be ready. I'm just a dumb, dyslex-kic girl who doesn't know anyone about anything.
Trowa: Maya... You're not dumb, nor dyslexic! It's just that you have trouble with most things.
Maya(still to the sky and a little angry): And what if you care? No one does!
Trowa: I do care.
(Trowa walked behind Maya.)
Trowa: You're right. I can't make you be what I want you to be, and I know that you're unprepared, but you're not alone. There are some people who have something in common with you.
Maya: Yeah, but I can't afford you. I know that we're close friends, but if there is someone in your life that you love, then be with that someone. I hope there's a girl that loved you will hopefully be your one and only someone.
Trowa: I don't want anyone else... I want you!
Maya(confused): What?
Trowa: I want you to be my one and only someone. I want to be with you.
Maya: Trowa, you're kidding, right?
(Trowa smiled at her like he loved her.)
Maya: Oh god! You're not kidding.
Trowa: Nope.
Maya(gasp): Then... what are you trying to say?
Trowa(softly): I love you.
Maya: Oh my.
Trowa: Please, Maya, close your eyes so I can kiss you.
Maya: Okay.
(Maya closed her eyes, then Trowa, with his eyes closed, gets closer to Maya, and kissed her on the lips. They kissed slowly, but they never going to have sex or anything, then they stopped, opened their eyes and looked at each other.)
Maya(softly): Oh my...
Trowa(softly): You like it?
Maya: Uh-huh.
Trowa: Come here.
(Maya lay down beside Trowa, and they kissed again.)
Trowa: I love you, Maya.
Maya: I love you, too, Trowa.
(Then they get back to kissing, but they were tired and fell asleep under the stars.)
