Chapter Three:
"Where have you two been?"
"Why have you been gone so long?"
"What
have you two been doing for the past year?" The Questions came
faster than
they were able to try to answer, so they just stood
there smiling at each other
and holding onto Maurice, Mayter, and
Lynck.
"Well?
Are you going to say anything?" said Holland, causing the others
to stop
and stare at the couple.
"We
missed all of you very much, and feel bad about being gone for so
long." Said
Eureka, smiling and looking into Renton's eyes.
"We
have been traveling for a long time, the landscape has changed a lot
since
the events of the second summer of love, and it made it more
difficult to navigate."
Said Renton grinning stupidly, as
usual.
"And
you said that I was bad with directions! You're the genuine idiot!"
Came a voice from the shadows behind the two, and everyone but
Renton turned
to look at the newcomers.
"At least I know what way is west, and no, it's not the hand you hold your fork with... Dominic!" Said Renton, without missing a beat.
"He
may not know directions very well, but I still think he's cuter than
you Renton,"
came the voice of Anemone. Renton then turned to
face the two who were still standing in the shadows, "But you're
a close second."
"You two are pretty late, we were beginning to wonder if you'd actually show up, I mean even Renton and Eureka beat you here and they didn't even know that we were having this little party." Mocked Holland
"Wha'd you do, get lost on the way?" chuckled Renton
"Erm, well...you see..." Choked Dominic
"Yeah,
we got lost and ended up in the next town over." thinking it was
Bellforest,
and wandering around for several hours before someone
told us how to get to here."
Laughed Anemone, then everyone
but Dominic who had turned bright red, started laughing, then the
group moved back to the area where they had been enjoying themselves,
but now with four more in the party, and everyone sat down, and began
to talk and enjoy themselves, and they decided to leave the questions
for the morning and just have some fun.
"What is..."
said Renton looking up to the moon which had been behind the two. As
the moon rose high over the group, Renton and Eureka caught their
first glimpse of what had been carved into the moon one year before,
and Renton put his arms around Eureka and held her, she leaned into
him and tears began to run down her cheeks, the terrible memories of
the day when the Skubs had almost awaken and reached the limit of
questions, and destroyed the world and everything on it.
"So
many people died, It is still so painful." Wept Eureka. Renton
pulled her
closer and closed his eyes as he let her cry he
touched his forehead to hers and unnoticed by the other a faint red
and blue light pulsed for a split second then they looked into each
others eyes, they moved in closer, and pressed their lips together in
an affectionate kiss.
"All right none of that here, especially in front of the children." mocked Talho glancing over to Holland, who was still holding Charles, who was playing with Holland's ascot which caused Holland to look down and smile at their child.
"Well
it's late, we should all get some sleep, after we figure out where
these two are
going to stay." Said Holland after a long
pause, he looked back to Talho.
"I have a room for them, when I rebuilt the shop, I added an extra bedroom for them, I knew they'd return sooner or later, so I was prepared. It's all ready, I've even kept it cleaned, albeit a little bare," Said Axel looking to the couple then to the children who were huddled and whispering, "Let's go home Renton, Eureka, kids."
"Right!" Chimed the children, who suddenly looked very tired, after the initial excitement of their parent's finally returning home wore off.
"Yeah, home..." said Renton, yawning, along with everyone else, and so Holland, Talho and the others went back to the Moonlight, and as the couple climbed into bed next to each other, Eureka fitting perfectly into the curve of Renton's arm, and they leaned in for one last kiss before they both fall asleep. "I love you, Eureka."
"I love you too, Renton," replied Eureka softly. As they fell asleep, the red and blue glows came to life from Renton's and Eureka's Foreheads, filling the room with the mixture of the two lights, the intensity of the light shined through the curtains covering the window, and under the crack beneath the door, but, despite the light the two lovers stayed asleep, finally reunited with both of their families, Axel and the kids, and the Gekkostate, it was the safest they had ever felt, and so nothing could or would disturb their slumber.
