Okay, Imma update now. If this chapter shows any resemblance to Maximum Ride or Skulduggery Pleasant you can blame my reading habits. I've also been told (by my little sister, no less) that it is normal for authors to put disclaimers at the beginning of every chapter, so I decided I'd be different. I'll put them at the beginning of every third chapter. This being the third chapter, a disclaimer shall be posted.

Disclaimer: I do not own the magical, mystical, magnificent, majorly awesome phenomena that is Fallen. If I did, there would be no "Luce/Daniel". There would be "I want a fez/Daniel". Of course, because there is a "Luce/Daniel", this means it is owned by Lauren Kate. Oh well.

Luce's POV:

Luce woke, for a moment not remembering where she was or what she was about to do, only concious of the warm body that was Daniel lying by her side. And then it hit her. Today she was leaving her life behind, to stand forever by Daniel's side. And no, she wasn't exaggerating. She really meant forever. Luce was becoming an angel, it was the only way Daniel could get back into heaven. And it may have seemed selfish on Daniel's part, but when she considered all he'd done for her... for them... she realised how truly selfless he was. She figured it was about time she was, too. After all, if she didn't become one, they'd have one more enemy. They already had hell trying to take them down, the Outcasts chasing her every way she turned, and of course the Zhsmaelim trying to perform creepy ritual-thingies every time she came within ten feet of them. The last thing she needed was to add heaven to that list. Her resolve was iron-clad. Not even Callie could change her mind, and they were practically like sisters. She was determined.

She was shaken from her reverie by a yawning Daniel. He stretched, then pulled her closer to him. He was awake, but only just, his eyes half-closed with tiredness.

"Hello sleepyhead," She breathed, kissing him gently.

"Mmm..." Was all he could muster up in response. She liked this side of Daniel, and if all things went to plan, she'd be seeing it a lot more. She smiled at the thought.

"Why you so happy?" He mumbled drowsily.

"You don't remember what we're doing today, do you?"

He looked at her, shaking his head, his puppy-dog eyes making her want to melt. She smiled and rubbed his back, right between his wings, her fingers ghosting over the taut muscles. He shivered in pleasure, his eyes closing. Then his head snapped up, his eyes wide and the biggest smile spread over his face.

"I remember now."

Luce smiled, and Daniel pulled her in even closer.

"Thank you," He breathed, resting his head aginst her cheek.

She continued her rubbing, her hands now massaging the joints where the wings met his back.

Daniel moaned softly.

"You know, if we didn't have to get up soon, I'd be happy to let you do that all day."

"But we do, and anyway, we'll have the rest of forever to do this after today."

"Mmm, yeah," He sighed, nuzzling her neck. He was adorable when he was half-asleep, it was one of the parts she liked best about him. He began to snore. She knew it couldn't last forever, they really did have to get up. She yawned, stretched, and pulled herself out of Daniel's grasp.

"Okay, time to get up!"

She grabbed his hand and forcefully dragged him out of bed. He landed with a thud on the wooden floor.

"Ow! What was that for?" He yelled, wide awake now.

"You fell asleep again, and we needed to get up. Big day, remember? Besides, just be thankful I didn't use a bucket of ice water."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever."

She smiled.

"I liked Half-Asleep-Daniel better."

So, I decided Daniel was gonna be adorable, 'cause I'm in a cute mood. I had to look through the books to remember the various people who were after Luce and Daniel, and that took me awhile. I think I'm gonna write the next chapter now, 'cause I kept you waiting long enough for this one. I really should revise for my NCEA "Acids and Bases" mock exams... but nah. Don't feel like it.

Don't forget the most important equasion you will ever see: Me + Reviews = More chapters!
