Chapter 4
When Midnight arrived at the park, she found a basket, blanket, and Flash waiting for her. He walked over to greet her with a shy smile on his face. " Hi Midnight. Thanks for coming. I see you got my message?" "Ya, I did. Is there something we need to work on?" (Midnight and Flash were assigned to be flight partners the day before) " No, I just thought we should get to know each other a little more." " Oh. Well something about me is that I absolutely love the creek down the path. It's one of my favorite things about the park." " Really? I go down there all the time! I was going to have the stuff down there, but I wasn't sure if you would mind or not. I also thought you might not have been able to find me." " Well, we could go down there now, if you don't mind." " Sure! I just hope my wings don't get wet. My mom hates it when they get wet." Then the two took the things down the path and ate lunch over small conversation.
" Flash, thank you so much. I haven't had this much fun in years. If my mom asks you though, we were studying the plant life." " I hope she doesn't ask. Lying to princesses is impossible. That's why I haven't lied to you at all." " Really? Impossible you say?" " Maybe not for other princesses, but I do know that it is for me. Midnight, there's something I really need to tell you. Ever since we met, I couldn't forget your beautiful green eyes. The way your mane hit me in the face and you apologized, I wasn't upset. I really like you, and I want to be more than friends, so, will you go out with me?" " Actually, I really like you too. In fact, I counted this as a date." " Really?! You like me too? Wait, if we already went on a date, does that make it a yes?" " Ya, it does. I am really glad you asked. You should come to my birthday celebration next Saturday." " That would be great. I am pretty glad I asked too." Bye the time they left the creek, it was almost sundown. Midnight quickly left to go home, but not without giving Flash a quick kiss on the cheek. She had a wonderful day.
When Midnight got home she went to see her dad first. She wanted to ask him about the poem she found that mourning. " Dad, I found this in the garden with your signature on it." "What? Let me see. This is an old poem I once gave to your mother, she must have lost it. You should go give it to her." Then Midnight went upstairs to her mothers room and knocked on the door. " Come in! Oh hello Midnight, what do you need?" " I found this in the garden and Dad said I should give it to you." " This was my favorite poem that your father gave to me. I was looking for this, you said you found it in the garden, correct?" " Ya, I have an extra frame in my closet if you want it. You could put it on your desk." " That would be wonderful darling. You can give it to me after you listen to the stars." The stars. She had almost forgotten about them. She still went to her aunt's first. Turns out she was in Manehatten for a business trip. When she got to Flash's, all it said was " I had a great time with you today. I am so glad we met, and I need to tell you something very important. I love you." After that she smiled, gave her mom the frame, and went to bed. But right before she went to sleep, she said, " I love you too."
