Prior to the event… (Part 5 of 5)
As much as she's excited to go home, Lucy has finally grow fond to the place. And her feelings for Pietro is, well,growing romantically at the same time.
"W-w-wow! Hooray! H-h-how?!" Pietro asked, his words are breaking from happiness but with a bit of sadness too.
Lucy started explaining to Pietro that she heard a knock and found a piece of paper that was slid under their front door. And when she tried to look who slipped the paper, the hooded figure was already running away.
There was written on the paper and it said something about the portal...
"Nothing to Worry
Nothing to Ponder
On a Midnight in Full Torqouise Moon
Everything will go back naturally
Must not fight
Must not resist
If it senses tampering
Time will heal itself eventually"
Lucy and Pietro looked at each other. The both know that tomorrow, the turquoise moon will be in its fullest and tomorrow midnight is also their last time together.
Both sad, but Pietro and Lucy know it's for their and the rest of the world's best.
Pietro and Lucy spent their last day going out and having some fun. Had their picnic on the park. Shared stories to each other. Told things from their time...
From horses to cars, from grandfather clocks to wristwatches, from magic to technology, and so on.
The night has finally came. Few minutes before midnight and it's time.
They both stood infront of the fountain, the Blue orb and the portal started glowing and portal has finally opened. Lucy and Pietro finally said their thank yous and goodbyes to each other.
--- Cheezy Part ---
Pietro hugged Lucy for the last time and just before Lucy walks away.
Pietro held Lucy's hand and finally the most awaited kiss has finally happened.
Holding each other tight as if letting go is not an option. Pietro and Lucy admitted the romance that they had formed and told each other the words of love they wanted to hear.
Taking the chance, Pietro asked Lucy not to go. Lucy didn't want to go either but they both know that's not possible.
They held and hugged each other for the last time. Tears started to roll from their eyes as Lucy started walking into the portal.
--- Cheezy Part End ---
She was gone.
He was again,
alone.
But instead of being depressed, Pietro learned something that night...
That whether they are far or gone, as long as their memories stays in your heart, they will be always right there in you.
Pietro smiled and said the words "I'll miss you Lucy, you'll always be my inspiration." As tears continuously run down from his eyes.
Lucy safely arrived back in her time as if nothing was changed. It was still evening like what happened was just ina a dream...
------------
Few months after...
Always visiting the park, Lucy still misses Pietro.
As she leaves the park, Walking slowly but not looking to her way, Lucy accidentally bumped into a person. Picking their self-up, started saying apologies as they start to look at each other.
Lucy was surprised on who she saw.
It was a guy that somewhat looks familiar... His name was Gale.
Few more weeks have passed.
Gale and Lucy eventually became close friends.
One day, When Gale and Lucy was hanging out at his house. Lucy picked up a guitar and played a song.
Gale jumped out from his seat, surprised and curious, she asked Lucy some questions like...
"Where did she hear that song?"
"How did you know that song?"
Confused, Lucy told Gale that she was just playing her all time favorite song and explained that it was written by someone special to her but wasn't able to witness its completion. She only knows some few parts in the song yet she considers it as her favorite piece.
More confused, Gale told Lucy that the song was a very popular back in the far past and has been the trademark song of their family.
Gale further explained that base from his family stories, the song was written by one of his ancestors for a specific girl whom he loved so much. The girl that saved him from totally ruining his life. Waiting and hoping that the song will reach her wherever she was.
Tears began falling from Lucy's eyes. The tears of joy and sadness. Remembering the fun days and adventures with Pietro.
It was a happy future for Lucy after that.
She and Gale eventually ended up together and lived happily ever after.
As for Pietro...
One sunny morning...
While writing poems and melodies, Pietro heard many horse stomps and noises outside his house then loud knocks on his door succeeded.
Disturbed in his writing momentum, Pietro irritatedly shouted
"Coming! What's the rush?!"
"What's the prob-" Pietro said as the door fully swang open, and before he could finished his sentence. Pietro was surprised and confused.
A middle-aged person in formal suit was standing infront him.
It was Gerard the Butler. Their Butler.
Breathless and sweating. There was fear in his eyes.
"Master Pietro! Your parents have asked me to come here and fetch you. You need to come home! They are in critical condition and the city of Punk O' Steam is in grave danger! Monsters and Bandits are everywhere! You're our only hope!"
Shocked. Pietro quickly packed his stuff and jumped into the carriage.
"Let's go" he told Gerard.
And the Blue Orb glowed once again.
End.
