Thought it'd be cute if it was just Musaki and Summer on a date themse;ves.

Chapter 7: Watching the Sunset

The next day, only three more days left until it was valentine's day and Musaki thought about Summer and he figured what he was gonna do today with her. Nothing special or fancy, just to enjoy themselves somewhere beautiful. He didn't exactly know what he had in mind, but he was hoping to just watch the sunset with her.

Just then, Viper comes up to Musaki and she poked at his back with her tail and that caught his attention as he turns around and sees her behind him. He lets out a small sigh and he said, "Hey, Viper."

Viper was smiling at him for some reason and she slithered up to him and asked, "Whatcha doing?"

Musaki lets out a heavy sigh and fidgeted his fingers for a while and replied, "Well...I was thinking of watching the sunset with Summer tonight. I kinda don't know what special thing we might do together."

She completely understood what he was talking about and she said, "I think that's a great idea. You and her...watching the sunset together. I think it's a very sweet idea you have."

"Yeah, I know." Musaki said, with a sigh.

Musaki looks up at the sky and figured that it's almost time for the sunset and he immediately mustered up some courage to ask her to join in. He stood up and said, "You know, I think watching the sunset would be a great idea and we'll talk a little bit."

"How about a little picnic to go along with it?" asked Viper.

That idea popped into Musaki's head and figured that it's the greatest idea she could ever come up with and he said, "Yeah...that's be great. Wonder what she likes."

"Maybe you can find some snacks in the kitchen." Viper answered.

Without thinking about it, Musaki immediately sprinted to the bunkhouse, he went up to his room and he picked up his new picnic basket and went to the kitchen to pick up a few things; some bananas, grapes, a few sandwiches and some strawberry cake. He sets them all into the basket and covered it all with a blanket t enjoy the setting. Then, he brings it all out and Viper could see that he's got that part covered and he smiled at her and said, "Thanks for the suggestion."

"You guys enjoy yourselves." Viper said, smiling.

Later on, Musaki caught up with Summer as she brought out her picnic basket as well and he was surprised that she was thinking the same thing as he did and when they saw each other, they could see that they each brought their own picnic baskets. Summer chuckled softly and said, "I guess we're both going on a picnic then."

"And watch the sunset together." Musaki added.

She was excited to hear him say that and she said, "I know a place. Follow me!"

They immediately went outside the Valley of Peace and then they headed to this one place that overlooks the entire town and a view of the Jade Palace and when they got there, Musaki was surprised by the beauty of how it looks from above. He said, "Wow...that's pretty cool."

"Yeah, I know. I used to go there when I was a kid to sorta get away from the orphanage for a while and just watch the sunset." Summer explains.

Musaki sat down on the ground and he said, "Sounds a lot cooler than the Peach Tree at the Jade Palace."

When Summer sat down, they each opened up their picnic basket and placed both blankets towards themselves and brought out whatever food they brought in. Soon enough, they began eating and talking with each other and just talked about their lives after being adopted and what's it like to have an adopted family. Later on, the sun begins to set and they both witnessed it together, which proves to be the most beautiful thing ever.

Summer looked at Musaki and she asked, "Can I ask you something?"

"Yeah." Musaki replied.

"The day I left the orphanage...I didn't know you were looking for me. Why did you?"

Musaki bit his lip after hearing that question and then he looked back on how they first met when they bwere kids and how one day, Musaki looked for her, but she was already adopted anyway. He looked at her and replied, "I kinda wanted to see you again and asked if we wanted to be friends, but you were already gone. Even when I was younger, there was something about you that felt like I was never alone to begin with and wanted to get to know you more. I guess I was too late for that then...until I saw you again a few days ago and it just felt like it was th happiest day of my life."

Summer blinked her eyes and she felt a little bit of guilt about that day and she said, "We never got a chance to say goodbye to each other."

Musaki smiled at her and then, he puts his hand on her shoulder and said, "After reuniting with you...I don't think we'll ever say goodbye. In a few days, valentine's day will be the greatest day of my life as long as we celebrate it together."

Summer smiled at him and as well and then she said, "There's a valentine's day dance at the karaoke place near the Noodle Shop and do you think you could be my date there too? Sierra and Lani will come along too."

That made Musaki feel like he could jump for joy after announcing that news and he said, "I'd love to go."

"Thanks."

Both of them just looked at the sky and sees that the sun is far gone and all that's left is a couple of purple, red and pink skies all around and both of them nestled their heads towards each other and Summer said, "This is the best time of my life."

"Mine too."

Was that sweet or what? Sorry I had to make it short, though. Stick around for more.
