Me: Oh My Goodness Gracious! I AM SOOOOOOOO SORRY! I haven't been on for like, MONTHS! Waaahhhh!

Rin: * cough * Wah-wah?

Me: * nods *

Len: Code-like much?

Me: Learn it, and you're officially a mascot * smiles deviously *

Len: Holy –

Rin: Cut it out, you two! Let's just get to the story, btw Mistress doesn't own anything but Rys and Lene, so everything else goes to their respective owners.

One day to help Ted and Teto's wedding and to receive the news of the coming birth of a couple in town.

Rin and Miku were up and about setting a feast for everyone that morning. Len woke up early and went to the porch. Miku noticed him go out and excused herself, slipping away to the porch.

Len was enjoying the scene of nature in sunrise. The faraway mountains looked like pyramids of gold, and the fields looked like lush mixes of green and yellow, but the best part was the near rising of the sun. Suddenly he felt something on his shoulder and quickly turned around to see Miku. "Ummm… Sir Len, may I ask for a moment?" she asked shyly.

Len nodded, and almost forgot his manners "Of course, Lady Miku. Is there something you would like to talk about?" he asked. There, Miku lost her manners and became serious, she nodded and glanced back inside. No sign of her.

"Len, is there anyone you…love?" Miku asked looking at the scene. He was surprised at this question, yet already had a three-lettered word in his mind. He was speechless and just nodded. Miku didn't end her questions there.

"Who?"

"Why do I need to tell you?"

"Because I'm your beloved's bestfriend" Miku said nonchalantly while going back inside, obviously not waiting for an answer.

Len stood there, not in denial nor in assent, but just thought of her, and oblivious as to what Miku did inside.

"Rin, Len said he wanted to talk to you about something important" Miku said, Rin immediately paid attention "A-about what?" Rin asked a little nervously. "I dunno know" Miku shrugged. And Rin went out to meet Len, though her intuitions said that something was up.

"Len?" Rin's angelic (at least to Len) voice said from behind the startled Len. "R-rin! Umm do you need anything?" he stated nervously. Then Rin's calm expression morphed into confusion. "I thought you wanted to talk…" she let the words drift as the two of them immediately knew the culprit. "Miku" they said in unison.

But to Rin's surprise Len spoke up, "Actually Rin, there was something I've been dying to tell you" his face as red as apples. "Hmm?" Rin looked at him sincerely and curiously.

"Ugh! Why do you have to be SOOOO adorable! Why did God make you so irresistible!" Len thought. "I umm…..I" Len would probably kept on stammering had his sister call out from the balcony "Oh for goodness sake, just spill it out!" followed by a cute bark.

The couple looked above them to see Lene smirking and her new golden pup, Revva who was wagging her tail furiously. "And if I can't?" Len asked in contrast.

"I'll make some strawberry-banana juice" Lene said in a sing-song voice. And Len's eyes were as big as saucers and exclaimed "Okay!Okay! I'll TELL HER! Just not… the PENALTY!". Lene smirked and left to wake up Rys, Revva following her every step.

Rin was about to ask about the penalty until Len said in a serious tone "Rin" she stiffened.

"Rin, ever since you watched my first chess match, there was something…something I felt" Len started.

Rin was calm and curious but inside she was anxious.

"That was years ago, when we became best of friends, until now, I still carry that feeling" he continued

Rin thought "Is-is he finally confessing!" and held her breath.

"And do you know what I feel Rin?" he looked straight at her, his wonderful eyes reflecting his anxiety, his lust, and his LOVE. Rin just shook her head, dazed.

"Rin" her eyes reflected her anxiety, eagerness and love. "I love you" he finally said.

Silence

"Rin? I-I'm sorry, I t-thought tha-"

"Len" she cut him off, their faces inching closer and closer "Len, I love you too" until their lips finally hit their mark.

And the sunrise made it clear that it was the dawn of their renewed relationship.
