Epilogue

*Ring-Ring-Ring* "Moshi Moshi?" A female voice answered. Currently having a pencil in hand, writing out her almost finished report. "Hey Fine, it's Rein. We're coming back from the beach tomorrow." She lit up. "That's good, did you have fun? You didn't catch sunburn did you?" Fine said worryingly. "Nope, but Altezza did. Poor thing, anyway, I called to ask you how your week was." Fine stopped her writing, and set the pencil down. "Fine, I went to the hot springs and such." She was leaning back and forth in her chair, spinning a couple of times. "Lucky, that seems fun." A chuckle was heard through the line. "Says the girl who is STILL at the beach…" Fine heard a small giggle through the phone. "Your right, anyway what did you do?" "Well, we took the train there which took 1-2 hours. Though I got a good luck at the sea, then had a picnic, picked up some things, bath house and went to the festival. It was really fun." "Lucky, oh, you might not know this. But Bright and Shade weren't able to make it. They each said they had something come up." Rein's voice was full of disappointment. "I was really hoping to surprise Bright-sama." Fine suddenly gulped, at the thought she practically spent the entire 2 ½ days with Bright and Shade. "Yeah… that sucks." 'Yabei, I better no say anything. Or else she'll be mad.' Fine thought, scratching her cheek; than a thought popped up. "Rein; do you know why they were busy?" Some reason, she felt an erg to look up about that legend at the festival. "Hmm, they said they wanted to do something with someone special to them. I assume it's probably a family member." Rein mumbled. "Though Altezza didn't know a thing about family members." Fine's heart started to pound, she started scrolling down about information on the festival. "Anyway, bye Fine, see you tomorrow." The phone was hung up, and Fine turned her full attention towards the computer. "The legend states that if you're together with the person special to you when the last firework is shot, you will be fated together with that special person." Fine's face steamed red.

"It's probably nothing Fine." She told herself. She looked towards the corner of her desk, where a clear-bowl filled with pure water. But inside swam a little fish, scales of orange; yet it was called a goldfish. She moved the tips of her fingers, lingering it around the bowl. "You're so beautiful." Her eyes follow the movement of the fish, starring straight and following its fins. Looing away from the creature, she looked at the item next to it. A flower, hooked with a ribbon, which slid to a bell; color so fitting for her.

"Hmm, they said they wanted to do something with someone special to them. I assume it's probably a family member." Rein mumbled. "Though Altezza didn't know a thing about family members."

'Why does my heart keep pounding? It's like, 'Thump-Thump' all the time.' Fine held her heart.

"It's perfectly okay. Everyone here is familiar with the two and their families, so when we heard it was just them and a girl; we were surprised. And we figured you must have been pretty special to them. So we wanted to give you the best stay."

'I don't understand though. Only when I think of those two do my heart starts to pound.' Ears turned red.

"The legend states that if you're together with the person special to you when the last firework is shot, you will be fated together with that special person."

'Don't tell me they…'

"Is there something wrong visiting our, beloved Fine?" 'Eh?' She looked a Shade. "He's right…" Then she looked at Bright. A soft smile was coursed into his face, and his eyes gleam with kindness that Shade had too. "We miss you Fine. You're special to us."

'Planned all this…' Slowly memories were filling her mind, how the two spent their time and personally did these things.

"The fireworks were like flowers in the sky, colorful and grand. I watched until the end, where the final flower blew into a beautiful color of pink, purple and orange and that ended my summer fun. So to conclude this summer report, at first I did nothing this summer, just lazing around the house and wasting my days away. Not enjoying the breeze of the summer air, the song of the cicadas and splashing at the beach. But then two of my friends came and fixed just that. They invited me out to one of the most precious memories I would never forget, at first I never understood why they went to great lengths. A train ride with a view so dazzling it calms you, resting at the fields of flowers and enjoyed the homemade food. Bathing and relaxing at one of the most amazing hot springs and watching flowers bloom in the sky. But I finally understood…"

Fine looked down at her hands; the warmth of those hands still lingered on the tips.

"I was special to them, and they were special to me. That concludes what I did this summer."

Thanks for reading and don't forget to vote. But most importantly, I hope you enjoyed it and have a great summer. : 3
