Chapter 42 - Young and naive (1/2)

A/N: This happened before Adam got kidnapped. The day before he was taken away.

It's only been two days since the incident with Ashley, Ted still hasn't come back, it may be an emergency in the hospital or just because Ashley needed her brother as she recovers her mental health.

This again left the two with each other, that night, the stars were beautiful, bright and even seems close to touching as they both lay flat on a blanket, smiles plastered on both of their faces as they point out the biggest star that they can see.

"Oh! Look! There's a falling star Adam!" her voice filled with excitement as her eyes focuses on the twinkling night star.

"Another one! Hey, are you even looking?" she said, now facing him, his eyes fixated on one thing, her face...

His eyes glued on the brightest thing he can see, her sparkling eyes, soon his little tigress will become a fine lady, he can see the universe in her eyes, it's beyond beautiful.

She slightly pushed his face the other way.

"Look. At. The. Stars" she emphasized.

"But I'm already looking at them,"

"You are looking at me, Adam! I saw you stop teasing me okay?"

"Not okay...what's wrong with staring at my greatest star?" he speaks, too cute for Celestia's own good.

Admitting defeat, Celestia's cheeks betrayed her, it felt hot under the night sky.

She just continued to focus her attention on the sky, counting shooting stars and making a wish each time her eyes caught a glimpse.

"How's it like having no memories?" she said after a while, her hands on his as the cold wind slightly touches their skin.

It's been a long day for both of them, they did the laundry just like they plan, the day after tomorrow it will be ready to wear. They played with bubbles and experimented a lot before finally deciding to went into a nearby town and ask the folks, Celestia knew as Dave.

"Hm, just the usual," he said in few words.

"Usual? What do you mean by that?"

"Usual, I continue living without them, I'm much better off without those," he said, although on his mind he already has a hint of who he is.

"Why? I mean, what if you forgot someone important? Don't you want to remember them?" she said, sad at the fact Adam does not even care a tiny bit about his lost memories.

"Hm, there's no one important," he replied, unsure.

"What about me? What if you forget me?" now, Celestia's pouting. 'Will you not look for me?'

Adam gazed at her face even more, his eyes piercing through her soul, "How could I forget the one person who completed me?"

Their eyes on each other as their hearts beat on the same rhythm.

"We do not know what will happen, just in case that you' ll have another memory loss, promise me that once you remembered everything, you'll search for me"

Celestia knows it is ridiculous to make a promise that he too, can also forget but she still did it anyway so that when his memories came back, he will remember this day, the day he promised her.
