"Shihna, wakey wakey!" Shihna pulled the covers over her head. "Mmmph." Zelos pulled on the blanket. "C'mon, hunny! Rise and shine!" Why did he have to wake her up so early? It wasn't like they had anything to do. "Let me sleep!" She groaned. "You're so lazy," Zelos said. "I don't care," she mumbled. Zelos sat on the bed. "Lazzzyyy..." He laid down on top of her. "What are you doing?!" Shihna pushed him away, her face red. "Hmm...I should've done that first."

"Get off, you idiot!" She started hitting him to get him off. "Oomph! Alright, alright!" He jumped off the bed and stuck his tongue out at Shihna. "Ice cream," she demanded. "Hmm?"

"Ice cream," she said again. "I'll get outta bed if you give me ice cream." Zelos stared at her for a while. "Do you want to get fat?" She threw a pillow in his face. "Are you buying it or what?!" Zelos sweatdropped. "Sure..."

Moments later Zelos tapped his foot impatiently at the bottom of the stairs. He sighed. "Shihna! Hurry up!" he yelled. "Coming!" Shihna ran down the stairs. "Took you long enough. Does it really take that long to put on that outfit of yours?"

"Sh-shut up! It's not like you don't take a long time to get ready!" she retorted, her face red. Zelos grinned. "Let's go," he said cheerfully. He grabbed Shihna's hand and headed out the door. "You're so annoying!" Shihna yelled. "Isn't that why you love me?" he asked. "There's no way I would ever love you!" They continued arguing as they walked down the street, not paying attention to the people who turned to stare. "What kind of ice cream do you want, Shihna?" Zelos asked in the middle of things. "You stu-" Shihna stopped in the middle of her sentence. "...Vanilla," she replied, quietly. "Okay, then." He turned to the owner of the ice cream stall. "One vanilla and..." He turned to Shihna again. "Anything else?" She shook her head. "That's it, then."

Zelos handed her the ice cream. "Thanks," she said, quietly. "The Chosen's so lucky," the stall owner commented. "Having a cute girlfriend like that." Shihna felt her face get hot. "I-I'm not his-" "Adorable, isn't she?" Zelos interrupted. He put his arm around her shoulder. "Well, then. Let's go!"

"I'm not even your girlfriend!" Shihna protested. Zelos just laughed. He was obviously enjoying himself. "Hmmm...I wonder what Shihna's ice cream tastes like," he said, cheerfully. "Get your own," she said, turning away so he couldn't take it. "C'mon. Don't be selfish."

"Get away, you stupid Chosen!" she yelled. "But I want it!" Zelos whined. "Go buy your own then!" she retorted, angrily. "But I want yours," he said, grabbing her wrist and pulling her hand close enough so he could lick her ice cream. "Idiot..." she mumbled. "Tastes good," he said, cheerfully. "Hmph."

"Let's walk around a bit," he said, taking her free hand and pulling her along. "Uhnn..." Shihna let herself get dragged along. "Want to go anywhere in particular?" Zelos asked. She shook her head. "Hmmm..." They continued walking along. Shihna paused at a display window as she was finishing her ice cream. "Hmm? You like the teddy bear?" Zelos asked, peering at the window too. "I-I wouldn't like a thing like that! I was just looking!" Shihna replied quickly, her face red. Zelos tilted his head slightly. "I can buy it for you if you want."

"I don't want it!" She started running away hurriedly. "Whoa, wait!" Zelos paused to look at the bear one more time and ran after her. "Shihna!" He caught up to her, almost out of breath. "Slow down..." he huffed. She walked slightly slower so he could catch his breath. "Jeez, Shihna. Taking off like that..."

"Sorry," she mumbled. "Well, then..." He looked around. "How about you wait for me on this bench?" he suggested. "Eh?" she looked at him, surprised. "If you're busy you can just tell me. I could just-" "Nope. I just have to go somewhere for a bit," he interrupted. "...Okay then." Shihna sat down on the bench. "Be back in a bit, hunny," he said. "I've told you so many times not to call me that," Shihna said, but he had already left. She sighed. What was he doing anyways? His eyes seemed to be hiding something. She sat back and looked around her. Why did it seem that so many of the people walking by were couples? She felt slightly envious of them. Their laughter. Their smiles. She felt so lonely. Now that Zelos wasn't there to pester her she felt...empty. What was taking him so long? Or was her impatience just making it seem that he was gone a long time? Wait...why did she want him to come back? She mentally slapped herself. It was Zelos. Since when did she like him that much? He was just...himself. There was nothing between them at all. Nothing!

Suddenly, a rose appeared in front of her face. She looked up to see that it was held in the brown paws of the teddy bear that she saw earlier. She stared at it for a while, not sure what to say. "Happy?" Zelos asked. Shihna finally noticed that the person who was holding the bear in front of her was Zelos. "Ze-Zelos!" He sweatdropped. "Who did you think it was?" he asked, handing her the bear. "You're not the type of person to do a thing like that," Shihna pointed out. "Oh, really? I'm hurt," he said in a super whiny voice. "Idiot." Shihna got up and started walking away. "Hey, wait!" Zelos chased after her. "Don't leave me behind!" he whined. She turned her face away from him. "Hmm?" He tried to get a good look at her face. "Is Shihna happy?" he asked, cheerfully."O-Of course not!"

"Your face is red," Zelos pointed out. "N-no, it's not!" He poked her in the nose playfully. "You're so cute when you're embarassed," he said, poking her again. "You're secretly happy that I gave you a present, but you don't want to say anything. Right?"

"I...just..." she hesitated. "...Thank you." Zelos wrapped his arm around her shoulder. "You're welcome." Shihna's eyes widened. "Let's go!"

What was this feeling? That she should be here...with Zelos...that it just felt like they could be like this forever. "Let's go eat lunch, somewhere," he said. Shihna nodded. Why was he so warm? His body was just so...she couldn't describe it. Why was she thinking about this anyways? Her face flushed. "We really look like a couple, don't we?" Zelos asked. Shihna noticed that he was grinning. For some reason it annoyed her. Very much. "I wouldn't be your girlfriend if you gave me everything in the world!" she snapped. "Hmmhmm! We'll see about that."

"There's no way you could ever win me over!"

"Oh really?"

"Really!"

There was no way she would give him a chance. Ever. He would never be able to make her fall in love with him. EVER.

SakuMeiMei Says: There's no point in fighting it, Shihna! You're already in love with him! You just won't admit it! XD Bum ba bum! I've been wanting to do this one for a while...and even though I say that I took so long to write it. I AM SO SORRY. But so much happened. Loads. I was going to finish it yesterday too, but I had this really freaky nightmare that screwed me up for almost the entire day. Sorry! XD I actually didn't like this one so much in the beginning. Or any of it...actually. XD I liked the part where Zelos bought the bear for Shihna though. Ah...marvelous! XD

The next one will be something hard for me to write, I think. So I'll try my hardest! Look forward to it! And the next one too because it'll be huge! XD
