FPOV:

I didn't know what to say. Running away with Enna sounded so good, but I had a duty to my country. My father, the king, is not in good health, and I really should try be around to take his place whenever I need to.

On the other hand, there was Enna. She's beautiful, and wonderful, and she wants to be with me. I decided I had made up my mind. There probably was never any question to what I would choose, honestly. I had to the best thing for me, and, at this point, Enna was an extension of me.

"Okay Enna. I'll run away with you. But. One condition..." I qualified.

"Name it."

"It's simple really. Just come over here and let me kiss you again." I was feeling quite mischevious all of the sudden. Maybe it was that I knew Enna was feeling the same way.

A beautiful smile graced her face and she began to walk over. "Gladly," she responded, stepping closer and putting her hands on my chest. She looked into my eyes, and kissed me.

After a few moments, I pulled away after I thought about something she had said. "Before we set off on this epic journey, answer me one question, if you will."

"What?" She looked a little confused.

I tried hard to look serious as I asked, "Will men really discuss what they would do to you if they were me?"

She laughed. Good. I loved her laugh. It made me smile. "Oh yes. They certainly will." She grabbed my hand and began to tell him all about the barracks-talk as we walked. We were beginning our journey away, away from everything we knew, so that they could be rebellious and happy one last time before having to grow up and become adults.

Sometime while we were walking along the trail, we changed the subject. She told me something that made me want to explode in joy. "I'm the happiest I had been in a long, long time, Finn. I have everything I had ever wanted. I have the perfect guy, an adventure ahead, and I'm thrilled to be disobeying my parents to my fullest extent. Without leaving you, of course." I couldn't stop smiling.

"So where are we headed?" I finally asked.

"I already told you, it's all up to you. Where do you want to go?"

"I don't know, there's so many places I've wanted to go. But I never wanted to leave the kingdom and my family. It's kind of exhilarating to be so, I don't know, rebellious and....bad." I thought I would try to sound cool to impress her.

She just laughed at me. I must not have done a good job. I laughed along with her, trying to sound like I was joking.

We walked along, hand in hand, in silence for a while. We must have been thinking the same thing because she wore the guilty look on her face that I'm sure was on mine.

"Do you think they'll be worried? When do you think they'll start looking for us? Well, me, I mean. They're already looking for you," I said, laughing

Her response startled me.

"Oh, well, my parents will probably just give up after a while, and say good riddance." I had to remind myself to close my now gaping mouth. I mumbled a "Sorry..." but she just continued. "But your parents will probably miss you like crazy, huh? I would if I were them."

"Would you really?" I stopped walking. Does she really care for me that much? That would be good.

"Well I missed you for the hours before you found me, for sure..." Then, she got closer to me so I was looking down into her blue eyes.

"I was...uh...worried. I thought something might have happened...to...you." It was all I could say. It was hard for me to breath when I was around her, let alone think and form coherent sentences.

"Well, I'm fine now. Right?"

"I don't know. It's look like it, but maybe you should let me check..." I kissed different parts of her face. Finally, I landed on her mouth. I did like kissing her. After a while, we started walking again, arms swinging between us, fingers entwined.

Then I remembered that she hadn't answered one of my earlier questions. "So where are we going after all?"

"Well, since you can't make up your mind, we'll go...." She thought over it for a short moment before saying, "...everywhere."

"Everywhere?" I was pretty sure at this moment my mouth was wide open in disbelief, looking like an idiot. "How can we possibly go everywhere?"

"Hey, I guess we've got a long journey ahead of us, if we want to go everywhere."I love the way this girl thinks.

"Yea, I bet it will ta-" I started to say. I was cut off by the sound my stomach gurgling noisily.

As if on cue, Enna's stomach growled as well.

We both laughed. "Well I guess we need to stop for supplies first on our road to everywhere."

I looked further up the trail. Look, there are a few houses ahead. I bet we can stop there and get food, water, blankets, a map, and some rest, okay? That is, if they have a map to everywhere..." I said, laughing at my own lame joke. But she laughed along too, as if she really thought I was funny, so I felt better immediately.

It felt good to have someone who didn't care how you acted, and still wanted to be around you even when you acted like a fool, and just loved you for you.
