She looked straight at Miguel and her eyes widened slightly. She was trying really hard not to freak out. Being a high priestess, she had gotten very good at keeping ger cool, but right now she was really sturggling with it. They both were staring at each other for a long time.

"Okay, this is akward..." Tulio said quietly.

"I'm guessing they know each other?" said the Chief.

Tulio just nodded his head. Esmeralda was looking at him with a look that said, "I told you so."

"Miguel. It's been so long," said Pocahontas.

He was still looking at her. For the first time, he was left speechless. She hadn't changed at all from when he last saw. She still looked as beautiful as ever in his eyes.

"Ok well I guess we should show you where you will be sleeping," said the Chief.

Miguel finally snapped out of his trance and followed everyone up the millions of stairs. At the top, after everyone had caught their breath, they walked into the temple. They were in the same one as last time. It was just the same. Esmeralda was looking at all the drawings on the wall. This whole place fascinated her.

"So..." Tulio's vioce caused her to jump. She turned around and faced him. "Do you like it here?"

"Are you kidding? This is amazing! And I thought Paris was beautiful."
As Esmeralda was looking at the city, she spotted Miguel looking for Pocahontas. She smiled and turned to face Tulio.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked her.

She was still smiling at him. It was the kind of smile that showed victory. "I told you so!"

"What are you talking about?" He wasn't going to let her win.

"Oh, don't give me that. You know exactly what I'm talking about. This is perfect! Pocahontas is their priestess! It's like they were on my side to begin with! HA!"

He was thinking about sulking, but he didn't want her to see him like that. He just had to think of something to say.

"I never said that he wouldn't find her. I was just telling him not to get his hopes up."

"Yeah, but you're so negative!"

"Ok, ok! You sound like my mother."

"Why do men insist on being so negative all the time? I mean it's not that hard to be supportive and happy for some-"

Tulio had to interrupt her before she exploded. He grabbed her arms and made her look at him.

"I get it. I'm negative. Sorry."

Esmeralda started to get that feeling again. The feeling of being too comfortable. This time, it was stronger. Yet, she couldn't help but feel good when she was with him. There was something about him that she couldn't resist. They were staring at each other, like they were trying to read each other's minds. They started leaning towards each other again. Tulio's lips lightly brushed hers when the Chief walked in. He was completely oblivious to what was happening.

"Hello! How is everything? I hope you all are comfortable."

"Yes, Chief. Everything's wonderful." He still sounded annoyed and Esmeralda was too caught up in that moment to notice anything. If someone looked at her, they would say she looked disappionted.

"We have decided to throw a glorious feast to celebrate your return," said the Chief.

"That sounds wonderful, Chief. Thank you." Tulio had calmed down a little, but he was really sick of being interrupted.

Wait...why would I be sick of that? What was he interrupting exactly? Did I almost kiss her?!

His many questions were cut short when Esmeralda was trying to get his attention.

"Hey! What's going on in that head of yours? You've been spacing out a lot lately." Yeah like I haven't. He's all I can think about.

"Sorry...I'm just tired I guess." He looked at her and smiled. "I guess we should go look for Miguel."

"Sure..." She didn't want to go anywhere. She wanted to stay there with him. With him? No, I meant to look at the beautiful temple. Yeah, that's right. Temple. She had to stop thinking about Tulio. It'll be easy...right?
