The snow was beautiful. The rays of sun that broke through patches of cloud made the winter wonderland sparkle. The beauty of the place took Aladdin's breath away.
She liked this. She could see her breath cloud up in front of her and knew she should go inside, but she wanted to relish the crisp air. It was so refreshing after being cooped up inside for so long. She grinned at nothing in particular and turned around at the sound of Judal's footsteps in the snow.
"Chibi, we should go inside. I don't want you to get sick again."
"Just a little bit longer, we were inside for so long!"
"Chibi, it was only two days. And you were the one who didn't want to go outside, remember?"
"Jugemu! Let's just stay out a few more minutes. I want to play in the snow for a little while."
"Chibi, we already built two snowmen and made snow angels, what else do you want to do?"
She was crouching down seemingly ignoring him. "I want to have a battle!" She threw the snowball in her hands at his head. Luckily for him her aim wasn't great and it hit him in the shoulder. She grinned and started running.
"Chibi, I'm going to get you for that. Come back here!"
Judal ran after her, picking up snow and packing it into a ball as he chased after her. He threw his snowball, hitting her at the back of her neck. While she was trying to remove the snow and run he caught up to her. His arms wrapped around her waist and he pulled her to him. She fought against his hold and they ended up falling to the ground.
"Did you have to land directly on top of me?"
"You're the one who was pulling on me. It's your fault!"
"Whatever Chibi, I'm freezing. Let's go inside."
"But Juju!"
He rolled his eyes at the nickname. "I thought you wanted to finish the song. I told you I wasn't going to do all the work on my own."
"Can we finish it now? Let's go! We should have hot cocoa too."
"Fine. Let's just get out of the cold please."
"You do have manners!"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"You said please. Good job Ju! Now let's get inside. I'm cold."
"You are such a pain."
Aladdin ran into the house and started the hot cocoa making process. By the time Judal entered the kitchen she was done making the drinks. She handed him one of the mugs then grabbed his free hand and pulled him to the music room. She sat on the piano bench and moved over to give him room. He sat next to her and began running through warm-up exercises. He stopped after several minutes and changed to playing guitar. He started playing what they had so far. She started off the singing; he picked up where she left off. She started playing the piano when he reached the chorus. They sang that part together. There was only a little more to write. They sat in the room, changing positions throughout the morning and early after noon. After a few hours of arguing and agreeing over different pieces of music and lyrics, the song was finished.
"It's so good! Let's practice it a few times."
"Well aren't you just excited beyond reason? It's just a song Chibi. Calm down a little. There isn't anything different about this song then any other song you have ever written."
"Don't say that Judal! This one is very special. We wrote it together. Isn't that important to you? Wasn't this more fun then any of the other songs you have written? It was for me."
"Yeah, it wasn't to bad but- Chibi! Stop jumping around. You are going to knock something over. These instruments are very delicate be careful!"
"I'm not a little kid, geez."
"But you are acting like one."
"You just use that fake-cool too often. You should at least let your guard down around me."
"Chibi, why are we even talking about this? This is stupid. We might as well talk about rainbows and unicorns. I am who I am and it isn't going to change."
"Yeah but you should at least relax around me!"
"I don't' relax around anyone, Chibi. It comes as a side effect of previous life problems. Just get used to it."
"I'm going to make you act completely normal around me one of these days."
He believed her. She had a way of always getting him to react the way she wanted him to. It was slightly annoying. Well, maybe her doing that would be okay. If he could trust anyone, it was probably her. He would just see what was going to happen.
"Hey Judal?"
"What Chibi?"
"I think we should go back."
"Back. To Portland?"
"Yeah. I can't run away from this forever. I need to talk to Sinbad and then move on with my life. I can't just keep hiding from him forever."
"Are you sure? It'll be really uncomfortable for a while. That hole might get worse."
"I know, but I can't just stay here forever. I have to go back to my family and friends. I have to keep making music. I want to make music and movies and model with you. Don't you think that would be fun? I can't do any of that if I'm afraid of running into Sinbad at any of the events. It will happen one day, so I think I should do it on my own terms. I don't want to be caught off guard."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. I want to go back. But we should definitely come here again. Many more times!"
"Then we should probably start getting ready to leave."
Hello!
Craziness is happening today but it's all good.
The Ren Family movie facfic is coming together, I'm working out a few more things with the plot and such but I'm almost done so get ready for that! It took me a really long time to be able to start working on it, I was having some serious writers block.
Shit is going down coming up really soon, so get ready for that. The story is going to pick up. I'm really tired. I'm going out to dinner and a movie later and I kinda have to get ready for that but I'm feeling super lazy right now and I should probably go finish doing my laundry but I don't want to move. And I want to get some more chapters done. I don't even know what I'm saying anymore.
Request and review! This is pretty much the last chance for now. BTW since i'm going to be really focusing on the plot from this point on, little asides with the side couples will be in another side story which I am working on slowly.
Review review review! I neeed the motivation right now.
Until Next Time!
