[F-4 pp Quest](Valentine Festival)

[Kiru 0]

A young girl waited on a bench in a blue butterfly kimono and an umbrella that matched. Why was she waiting? Well, today was the day of hearts and smiles to couples. Today was Valentines day....

I waited for my date to arrive. As I waited many couples passed with smiles and laughs. They all were heading to the Valentines Festival just past the bridge and through the flower garden in the town of Hugemel.

A man stepped out from behind a booth dressed all in black, nothing more nothing less. He snuck up on the young girl and placed his hands on her shoulders.

Excuse me Miss...are you waiting for something? he said in a deep voice hoping to startle her a bit more. (Clearly I know this is me, so im not going to fake you with the he, stuff, but ya know dramatic effect)

A shiver went down my spine then I turned around and saw Ryu and smiled then hugged him.

Ryu! you're here! Lets go...shale we? She asked him.

[RyujinSeaLord 0]

I wasnt sure what to do when she hugged me so i kinda just stood there. I looked around and tried to figure out where we would go.

Um...sure,...where...where would you like to go first? i asked. Never being to a festival, i didnt know anything about the reason to hold a festival, or even what you DO at one.

[Kiru 0]

Hmmmm... She thought then saw a few players on the lake, ice skating. How about, since its still day out, why don't we go ice skating? She asked him in a half smile.

[RyujinSeaLord 0]

I looked at the ice then remembered something..i never learned how to ice skate.

Um...sure...we can skate first...its up to you i said nervously knowing this was going to be the longest event of my life and also knowing i was going to fail to horribly at all of these events going on today.

I grabbed Ryu's hand and we went to ice skating rentals Two pairs please? I asked the clerk. Sure... He gave us two pairs of skates in our size and we headed to a bench to put them on. But I haven't skated so I think this wont end well...

I laced up my skates like i do my combat boots and stood in the waiting area by the ice. I looked out and watched everyone else skating and thought about how lonely life really was for me. I remember playing ice hockey when i was much younger but i had forgotten most of the skating i was taught. I put one blade on the ice then quickly retracted my foot. There was no way this was going to be good, i was going to hurt myself...or worse...Cicila. I turned to look for her, but when i looked i couldnt find her right away then i realized she was right next to me.

Well...shale we? She asked, stepping on the ice.

She started to flail around and almost fell.

I caught her quickly, realizing i was on the ice slowly moving forward. Suddenly i realized, i was skating and didnt think i could ever do it again. It was slow but i was doing it, hand in had with Cicila and for once...i was having...fun! I smiled as my hood fell back and revealed my face once more.

I seemed to smile too as I started to skate slowly. I pushed off with her pic and started to drag Ryu, noticing that he'd never skated before and then fell onto my butt, bringing Ryu with me. I looked at Ryu then laughed.

[RyujinSeaLord 0]

That was something i could never do. I looked at her funny as she laughed. I slid on the ice trying to find my grip eventually standing and suddenly skating circles around Cicila. I remembered how to do it, i stopped in front of her and offered her my hands to her and helped her up pulling her into me.

I took his hand and started to fall but fell into Ryu's arms. Blushing, I felt us slide and didn't want this moment to end that is until we both fell over the railing.

[RyujinSeaLord 0]

We fell over the railing, I whacked my head on the ground but i held onto Cicila so she never actually hit the ground. I winced in pain forgetting that none of it actually exists but its hard to forget what has become you life. I kept an eye on Cicila not showing any emotion or...honestly having any but pain at this moment. I had to at least make sure she was ok.

I looked up and heard people whistling. Then I remembered that my shorts were showing and tried to cover but fell face first into Ryu's chest. Blushing like crazy and starting to cry I knew I couldn't move or I may cut Ryu with my skates.

[RyujinSeaLord 0]

Cicila its ok to move...this isnt the real world...i wont get hurt trust me im fine. I said, kinda just laying there with her face buried into my chest. I wiggled a bit trying to get her more comfortable when it came to moving. I gave her plenty or ways to get up...how she did was up to her not me.

I felt one of my skates fall off and then rolled off of Ryu, landing in a soft patch of snow that was still there and had not yet melted. I took off my other skate and stood up then helped Ryu up. I'm sorry. I should've told you I couldn't skate.... I confessed, blushing....

[RyujinSeaLord 0]

I wanted to admit to her that i couldnt either but clearly...i would have been lying. I looked to her an continued to remain emotionless but i kept my hood down, but i never removed my cloak. I opened my mouth to say something then shut it.

So...what are we going to do now Cicila? i asked emotionlessly waiting on an answer from her.

[Kiru 0]

Hmmm.... I thought. Moments later I found people throwing things and winning prizes. Then it hit me....Maybe I'd be better at that... I thought then turned to Ryu. We'll do that! I said with a smile, pointing at the Dart Toss.
