A/N: Hi guys I'm back with chapter 9~! I hope you aren't disappointed this took forever and a day… well no matter; I'm getting back into the flow of updating. Okay!

Feliciana decided to save the news for Ludwig until after school, where there would be no interruptions. The two had already made plans to meet up at the same ice cream place they went to on the first day. Throughout the school day, Feliciana became more and more anxious.

'What if he turns me down because he doesn't like me the same way? What if he figured since I was in a relationship, he wanted to be too, so he got a girlfriend after I left? What if he's always had a girlfriend? What if he secretly hates me?' Her thoughts were mostly centered on that, and nothing else. All through the day, her mind was in another world.

Ludwig noticed, and at first he only thought little of it. But throughout the day, he began thinking about it more and more. He remembered she wanted to meet up with him after school, and began to ponder if it had anything to do with her current spacing. He began to think about it most of the time as well.

'Maybe she's avoiding me… No that can't be it, she asked me to ice cream later. Maybe she's going to tell me some bad news? She looks awfully nervous… That girl… She does things to me no other girl has before. She has that effect on me. I kind of like it… I kind of like her… Wait what?! No, bad Ludwig… School. Focus on school. Your studies, work, grades… Feliciana's long silky hair… Gah! Verdammt, Ludwig!'

His thoughts were haunting him until the final bell rang. Rising from his seat in the emptying classroom, he headed for his locker to retrieve his things needed for homework. Feliciana popped up from behind him.

"Ciao, Luddy!" she squeaked, hugging him.

Ludwig blushed. "Feliciana, let go…" he said calmly. Disheartened, she obeyed his orders.

"Better?" she asked, lightening up.

"Ja. Now, ready to go?" he asked, changing the subject.

"Yup!" Feliciana was so lost in anxiousness and excitement, she forgot to get her books and bag from her locker. The two headed out of the school and down the road to the ice cream parlor.

Once inside, Feliciana and Ludwig seated themselves in a more secluded booth. A young waitress came over and took their order. Neither of them got anything big, just two small cups of ice cream. The two chatted amongst themselves while eating their frozen treat, along with the occasional brain freeze.

Feliciana almost forgot what she invited Ludwig out for until he reminded her. "So… what was it you wanted to tell me?" he asked, actually quite curious to know.

"Oh! Right, I almost forgot…" she took a moment to collect her thoughts. "Um… so. Okay. The other day, I realized something important…"

"Go on…"

"I realized that… Well, I'll put it this way. I don't particularly think I like you, I think…"

'Oh no…' Ludwig thought. 'Perhaps I was right. Maybe she doesn't want to be my friend at all…'

"I think I… Like like you. Like, a lot…" she blushed as red as a tomato.

Ludwig almost choked. "You do?"

She nodded. 'Here comes the rejection…' she thought.

"i… I don't know what to say… All I can really say is that i… Like like you too."

Now it was Feliciana's turn to choke. "You do?" Ludwig nodded.

"I've wanted to get closer to you ever since I met you, and I just now realized that the reason I wish to spend time with you is because I do like you. I just… no other girl has made me feel the things you make me feel. I get all weird inside when you're around. I'm no expert at this, either… Girls back in Germany never really liked me the way you say you do."

Feliciana didn't hesitate to respond. "Ludwig, that's so sweet~! I always think I know about things like this, but then when I see you, or I'm with you, I get a whole new perspective on love and relationships… And it's honestly better than anything I've ever imagined! I've been thinking about this for a while, and it was never clear to me. But I finally found an answer that makes everything crystal clear!"

Ludwig smiled. Feliciana smiled back.

Ludwig offered to walk Feliciana home, but that was when she realized she had forgotten her books and bag at the school.

"Uh-oh… Hey Ludwig, instead of going home first, can we stop by the school…? I forgot my stuff…"

"Of course we can. No problem."

The two turned in the direction on the school. Once they arrived at the big brick building, Ludwig kindly held the door open for Feliciana as she walked in the direction of her locker. The school seemed eerily silent, as if it was empty.

"Hey Luddy… What time is it?"

"Almost four-thirty, why?"

"Doesn't the school seem… weird to you? I'm just getting this strange feeling…"

"Actually, yes…"

"Hm… I wonder why…"

All of a sudden, there was a loud banging noise coming from a nearby classroom, followed by a few grunts and curses. The voice sounded gruff and low, definitely a male's. Ludwig silently told Feliciana to stay put. He slowly approached the open classroom door, only to discover a man covered in black, searching through the desk of the school's treasurer. Ludwig gaped.

He made his silent way back to Feliciana and pulled her aside.

"We need to get out of here." He whispered.

"Why?" Feliciana was worried now.

"Shh…" he started to pull her to an exit.

Another large man spotted them and stood in front of their way. "You ain't going nowhere." He said sternly.

A/N: Cliffhanger anyone? :P I'm so mean…

Nawww you love me because I finally made them confess, am I right? :D

So yes their school is being robbed. And they're stuck in the school. With big meanies. Please leave a review I'd love to hear what you think! Buh-bye!
