Hey guys! Sorry, but I'm not going to describe any John and Sarah scenes. There's already too much of that in the original books. Instead, I'm focusing on Nix and Navrina. Hope you enjoy! :)


Six POV:

Turns out, the pizza place was so full that we ordered a takeaway. We're now sitting on a peeling brown bench by the lakeside, guzzling huge slices of triple-cheese peperoni pizza, while chatting about the craziest random stuff.

It's such an anti-climax. Just yesterday we were battling for our lives against Setrákus Ra, and today, we're just sitting on a bench watching people jog, and chatting like normal teenagers.

"You know what we should do after this?" says Nine, his mouth filled with greasy pizza.

"What?"

He swallows. "We should go roller-blading."

I raise an eyebrow. "Roller-blading, huh?"

"Yep," he says, lacing his greasy fingers behind his head and stretching lazily, "You've never Roller-skated before?"

I shake my head, "Never."

"Then let's go," he laughs, discarding our empty pizza box.

He starts jogging off, and suddenly, he cuts right in front of a startled jogger and screams while still jogging, "Hey, stop chasing me!", and he waves his arms about frantically.

The jogger just glares at him, cuts right back in front of him, and gives him the finger as she shoots past.

I catch up to Nine. "Wow," I laugh, "That, was a TOTAL fail."

He just elbows me, "It's not like you can do any better."

I just laugh, "Race you to wherever that roller-blading place is!"

"Game ON!" he cheers.

Actually, it was more of a competition of stamina than speed, as we couldn't run at our real speeds amongst all these people.


Marina POV:

I don't know what's come over me, but I'm completely hyper and I've gone utterly CRAZY. Maybe it's all those cups of coke I drank. To be precise, I've drunk four cups. Six "Extra Large" sized cups. And this is America, where everything is huge.

I'm giggling like crazy while hanging onto Eight's arm as we wander around the shopping mall. We've been into clothes shops where I've tried on all sorts of whacky outfits, we've tried a pretzel at "Aunty Annie's" and we've visited the Pet Shop with a miserable looking cat and two hamsters in it.

Suddenly, I see this adorable baby. "Oh my gosh, Eight! Look at him, isn't he cute?"

I go right up to him, and wave at him. "Hello, you cutie!" I laugh.

Eight's eyes are glimmering. "You know what? We should do more crazy stuff."

"OK, let's say 'Hi cutie' to every baby we see."

And it turns out, in the end, we'd done a whole bunch of crazy stuff. We've saluted cleaners, said "hi" to every baby, Eight even slapped this lady's huge butt, while immediately acting like he didn't do it. She accused this other guy next to him instead. We've also done other things like push aside couples who are holding hands, as in, break through their entwined hands, while laughing like crazy.

Overall, it was an amazing time we spent together.


Six POV:

I've put on my roller-blades, and I stand up slowly, wobbling. Nine extends his arm, and I grip it. It is firm and muscular, sturdy.

"Let's go, baby." He grins, as he guides me into the rink.

I lean on him for a while, trying to get my balance right as I try to move.

After a minute, I let go of him. "I can do this."

I take about two big steps, and I fall straight down. He just laughs and skates toward me.

I grit my teeth, feeling humiliated. "I can get up by myself."

He just grins at me, "I bet you that you can't."

I'm determined to try, but however much I try, I just can't get up.

"Fine then," I laugh, taking his hand.

We go on for about fifteen minutes - Me holding on to his forearm, while trying to learn how to skate. He's giving me instructions and tips, and I absorb them quickly.

Soon, we're holding hands, skating around the rink together. I'm smiling like crazy as we go round and round. Somehow, my hand in his just seems so… right.

He is warm and feels so strong, like me. We look into each others' eyes. His dark eyes are dancing, and he's smiling too.

"Race you," he laughs.

I let go of his arm, and extend my legs, willing myself to go as fast as possible.

I'm laughing with exhilaration, and I see him right next to me, both our speeds matching.

Suddenly, he twists around, and grips both my hands. Electricity shoots through my body as the world spins round and round us.

The whole world is a blur around his face. I see his face, and his face only - His strong square jaw, his brilliant dark eyes, his firm chin. We're gazing intensely into each other's eyes, the world spinning round and round us.

Our eyes lock together, and I'm not sure if my heart has ever beaten this fast in my life.

I notice a thin scar on his chin, and for a fleeting moment, I wonder how he got it.

But more than anything, I want to feel his lips on mine. Simultaneously, we pull each other in close, and he says, "I love you, Six."

"I love you too." I whisper.

And just as the longing becomes unbearable, our lips meet in a blazing kiss. The warmth of his mouth sends a current through me, and I throw my arms around his neck.

We stay there, our lips locked around one another's. It's as though the world is revolving around our two beating hearts. Nothing else matters anymore. It's just me and Nine.

I feel a fierce passion and longing for him, and we kiss, over and over again. His arms are around my waist, and my arms are around his neck and shoulders.

We stay intertwined like that for what seemed like forever, and then we gently pull away.

My eyes are shining, and he gently pushes back a lose lock of hair from my face.

We just stare at each other, smiling like crazy. This is a perfect moment, a moment I want to live in forever.

"I'm sorry about your hair," he mouths.

I just smile even wider. Both our faces are red, both our hearts are racing, both of us are feeling the same fierce passion.

We are meant to be.


Personally, I think the kiss was a bit sudden and I just can't describe the moment perfectly! However, if you try to picture this scene, it might just about work. Sorry if I ruined the Nix moment :(

A review will be much appreciated! :)
