Ben's Note of Sheer Awesome: Hey guys! For those of you in the U.S., Happy Thanksgiving! For those not in the U.S., Happy whatever day it is in whatever country you come from! I'm hre at home, working at the only job I have in my life: FanFiction. As tradition (starting right now), I request that if you chose to leave a review, please state one thing you are grateful for. I'm grateful for you fans you support me. I love you all, and thank you for supporting me through thick and thin.

KCL, hi! I actually did tell you the amount of words you said. You might have missed them, but I posted Prompts 11 and 13. You didn't review them, and you might have missed the author notes I had there. Might want to back-track a little. (I'm nice though. You had 1,087 words, so you made it :) I also recommend you read 13 then 11. Trust me, you won't regret it!). As for your name… you can continue to be KittyChesireluv if you want. Consider KCL to just be my nickname for you. :). Oh, and don't worry. This next chapter is going to take a break from dark for a moment.

Also, here's an answer to another question. The reason I update so late is because I don't have internet access until late at night. During school I can update at select times, but chapters aren't normally done until late afternoon. Another reason I'm late is because I have a lot of friends on the other side of the world. It's easier for me to stay up late so I can talk to them. I can try updating earlier if you want, but it's just more convenient to update at night. Moving on from that, enjoy the chapter everyone!

Prompt 15: Love

Alistair knew many things about many things, but love was always a major mystery to him.

He knew the basics, of course. It was the feeling he got whenever he was with Kitty. Love was whenever they were together. But he didn't really know what it was from an extent of that.

Kitty didn't know much either.

Kitty's definition of love was whenever Alistair helped her through a rough time. Her nightmares were set aside whenever Alistair came to comfort her. To her, that was love.

They were resting on their bench pondering what love was in their own ways. They didn't really pay attention to that around them, but they saw someone approach in the corner of their eyes. They didn't turn to look until they heard a girl giggle.

"Young love is adorable," she giggled. Alistair and Kitty glanced up to see Cupid standing before them.

Alistair offered her a smile. "Hey Cupid. How have you been?" he asked.

Cupid shrugged. "I've had better days, but today's been nice," she said, then giggled. "I find you two funny. Seriously."

Kitty and Alistair looked at each other for a moment, then back at Cupid. "What do you mean?" Kitty asked.

Cupid giggled again. "You're both thinking about the exact same thing," she said. The couple went wide-eyed, which made Cupid realize she needed to explain more. "You're both thinking about what love is," she explained. "It's how I know. I am a master of love, after all."

This reassured the couple and they sighed in relief. However, that also peeked Alistair's interest. "Hey Cupid? If you're a master of love… then what is love? What the actual definition?" Kitty nodded, showing she wanted to know as well.

Cupid gave a giggle. "Well… it's different for every couple I come across," she explained. "Let's go over what you two think. Alistair, you think love is being with Kitty. That's a big part of love… but it's more than just physically being with her. She's always on your mind and you always want to be with her, even when you aren't. It's also the care you show toward her when she needs it."

Alistair nodded, smiling. "I guess you make a fair point," he said.

"Kitty," Cupid continued, "you think love is whenever Alistair helps you through difficult times. That, again, is a big part of what love is. However, it's also you helping him. He has things he can't deal with alone. He needs you as much as you need him. Love is being able to help him as equally as he helps you."

Kitty smiled. "I see," she said.

Cupid offered them both a smile. "Personally, I find that love can be whatever you want it to be," she said. "So long as both members of a couple feel the passion and love within the relationship, then nothing else should matter."

Alistair and Kitty both offered Cupid an appreciative smile. "Thanks Cupid," Alistair said. "You really opened our insight. We appreciate it."

Cupid simply shrugged modestly. "It's what I do," she said and began to walk away.

Kitty smirked. "Have fun with Dexter," she teased. Cupid's face burned red and her pace quickened as she walked away. Kitty giggled and Alistair chuckled.

"Wish I knew as much about love as Cupid did," Alistair said after she was out of sight. Kitty turned and gave Alistair a kiss.

"I think you know enough about it to make me happy. And I know enough to know that I make you happy," Kitty said, and they went back to relaxing in each other's presence with smiles on their faces.

BN: *cries so much that his basement is now flooded* Surprisingly not the first time that happened, actually. (True story. Ask me about it sometime.) As I mentioned in KCL's note, I wanted to distract from the darker chapters a little and have this one be lighthearted. I felt, given the prompt, I could have them both contemplate the same question: what is love? I had Cupid appear in this chapter because I couldn't think of anyone better to explain the question than her. I felt that they both got out of that convo knowing more they could do for their significant other, and it was a nice cameo from Cupid as well.

As for future updates, I know for sure the next one won't be too dark. The one after shouldn't be too dark either. As for everything after that… I'll keep you informed. Till then, Happy Thanksgiving!

Like? Hate? Meh? Tell me about it in a review! Or don't! Either works!
