Lovers Forever [A Zayrose Fanfic] [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 4: Blazes from Within

3rd Person POV
---------------------------------------------------
"Are you sure you got this?" Primrose asked. Zayden has been rubbing two sticks together for the past 5 minutes.

"I know what I'm doing!" Zayden didn't even look at Primrose, as he tried to make a fire. Suddenly, smoke started to rise from the two sticks.

Zayden watched in awe as fire burst from the sticks. He quickly brought both sticks to the campfire, as the fire starts to spread to the smaller twigs.

"See? Told you I know what I'm doing!" Zayden smirked at Primrose. "Stay here Guesty, we'll gather more fire." Primrose started to walk into the vast forest as Zayden followed.

Zayden's POV
-----------------------------------------------------
I walk down the forest with Primrose, trying to gather more wood than she does. The breeze blows through the strips of my hair.

The colors of the trees shine through, the ground felt soft, and the smell of nature. It all feels so nostalgic. Just like the days where Primrose and I used to play together before we got separated.

"Alright, that should be enough." Primrose walked over to me. She noticed that I had a larger stack of wood than she did.

"Darn it! Fine, you win..." Primrose turned her head away from me. All I could do is chuckle at her defeat. She then turns her head back to me. Her head looking down but her eyes looking up at me.

"That was a lot of fun. Thanks..." she smiled. "I remember when we used to do that when we were younger. I always beat you." she said.

"This forest reminds me of our childhood." I reminisced our past together. "I remember when you, me, and Guesty would run around in the forest, doing whatever."

"Remember when Guesty put his hand onto your shoulder after he put it in the fire?" Primrose asked. Oh yeah, I do remember. That was pretty painful.

"Yeah, I remember." I responded. "It was pretty shocking, but funny at the same time. You screaming like a girl." Primrose laughed.

I turned to her, flustered. "I did not!"

Primrose only giggled. "And Guesty found this river and dumped water on you thinking it would make you feel better."

"It kinda made it feel worse." I responded. "Remember when Guesty saw snow for the first time?" I asked.

"His reaction was priceless. He would always roll around in the snow, throwing snow everywhere." Primrose giggled.

"He was always so stoic, so it was strange seeing him like that." I replied. "Robots are always full of surprises."

"There were so many other memories. I wish I could just go back." Primrose's joyful tone turned to a more somber tone.

"Yeah, back to where we hung out. The tree..." I remembered that's where we would always meet up when Primrose comes over to play.

"Yeah, we always hung out at that big tree." Primrose added. "It's when we made our Friends Forever promise. It's where we met..."

I smiled. I could never forget. That tree was an important part of our childhood. It's where we made a lot of memories together.

"I'd hope that one day, when this is all over. I would get to see it again..." Primrose sighed. At that moment, I knew I had to do something about that.

"Primrose. I promise you that I'll take you to that tree. No matter what happens, I will make that happen." I said, grabbing both her hands with both of mine.
