"Chel?!" He was so surprised that his voice went up an octive higher. Chel ran up and hugged him. She was too happy to notice that he didn't hug her back.

"I've missed you so much!"

He was still looking at her like he'd seen a ghost. "Tulio? Is something wrong?" Then she turned her head and saw Esmeralda.

"Chel...what are you doing here?"

"I...I missed you. I wanted to see you. Who's that." She pointed to Esmeralda and referred to her like she was some kind of animal.

"That's Esmeralda. I met her in Spain, and -"

"Spain? She doesn't look like she's from Spain."

Tulio was having a hard time explaining because Chel kept bombarding him with questions.

"Well...she's not. She was-"

"Oh I don't even care." Esmeralda looked at her incredulously. "I'm just gald I get to see you again. Let's dance!" she pushed Esmeralda out of the way and dragged Tulio into her arms.

"Well excuse me," Esmeralda said under her breath. She started towards the temple before she did or said something she regretted.

Meanwhile, Miguel and Pocahontas got back just in time to see the whole thing.

"I think I better go talk to her." said Miguel.

"What could you possibly tell her?" she teased.

"Trust me. I know Tulio. Esmeralda is misunderstanding big time."

As he was walking up the many stairs, he was thinking about what he was going to say to her. He was also wondering how she could walk up these stairs without passing out. He walked into the temple and saw Esmeralda pacing back and forth with a frustrated look on her face.

She saw someone come in, but didn't know who it was. She looked up and saw Miguel.

"What the hell was I thinking?"

"What do you mean?" She looked at him, this time fully aware of him.

"I just...I don't know why I thought this would be any different. I was stupid enough to believe that-"

"Wait a minute." he interrupted. "Are you talking about Chel?" That was a stupid question. He wasn't very good at this, and he didn't know what to say to her.

"Yes! Just look at her! Can you say tea-towels? Skimpy tea towels? God, why do I even bother trying to get his attention?" She gasped and put her hand over her mouth. She didn't mean to say that out loud.

"Oh please. Stop looking so guilty. Everyone knows how you feel about him. And it's pretty obvious how he feels about you, too."

"What? Then explain that." She pointed to the party down below.

"Chel left him, Esmeralda. She broke his heart. He told me that he would probably never forgive her for that. Then he met you. Every time he looks at you, I can tell that he's completely over her. For a while, until she came walzing back here, I think he had forgotten about her."

"Why didn't he ever tell me?"

"Probably for this reason." She had to admitt she agreed with him. She had never seen this jealous side of her before.

"I guess your right. Thanks, Miguel." He smiled as they walked back down to the party.

Wow. I'm better at this than I thought.

"Tulio, what's wrong. You're not listening to a word I'm saying." said Chel as she tried to get him to talk to her.

"Chel. I just don't want to dance with you...right now. I just...*sigh* can we talk?"

"About what?" She was trying to get him to forget about that right now.

"You know exactly about what." Somehow, he stopped her from hanging all over him and got her to come with him to talk.

"Why are you here?" He seemed angry. Everything was going great until she walked back into his life.

"I already told you. I missed you and I wanted to see you." Weak excuse.

"Then why did you leave?" he said softly. His face had a hurt expression. "Chel, no matter what you say, no matter how many times you apologize to me, it won't change what you did. You broke my heart."

"Tulio, I'm sorry. I didn't know what I was doing."

"Don't give me that! You knew exactly what you were doing!" He was practically shouting now. "If you expect me to take you back after that, you need to rethink your reasons for coming here."

"Tulio-"

"No. I'm done. You broke my heart, and the best part is I've found someone who can put it back together again."

"It's that stupid gypsy girl isn't it?" She was angry that she didn't get what she wanted. Tulio didn't say anything. He walked away without saying another word to her.

Esmeralda was looking all over for Tulio. The crowd seemed to be getting bigger as she was pushing herself through them. Finally, she spotted him. She ran over to him, calling his name. He saw her and they met in the middle. He took both of her hands in his. Esmeralda opened her mouth to say something.

"We need to talk." He was really excited for some reason.

"What happened with Chel?" She didn't really care, she just wanted to know if she was gone yet

"That doesn't really matter anymore. Can we go somewhere more private?"

"Uh...sure."

They were walking down the street as people were waving and laughing all around them. Finally, they were completely alone.

"What's wrong, Tulio?" she asked.

"Nothing. Everything's perfect." he was smiling at her.

"Are you sure? I-"

"I love you."
