The sand swirled around Bruno as it turned green.

You looked around in awe. You couldn't believe it. Out of all of the Madrigal gifts, Bruno's was one of the flashiest.

He opened his mouth and started to speak. "So, you want to know about the wedding right?"

"Yeah. Please..." You slumped a bit.

"Okay! Here I go." He closes his eyes and looks deeper in your future. You start to see yourself coming through the sand. You looked beautiful in an expensive looking wedding dress. A man came from behind you.

He held out his hand and you took it happily.

"I see it! Can you get a closer look at his face?!" You turned to Bruno and he struggled to talk.

"I'm trying.... It's so blurry there... Like it doesn't want me to see..."

You and the man stepped into a hug as you laughed to each other about something someone had said. You pulled away and went into a kiss.

"I got it!" Bruno's eyes opened, shining a bright green color. He stood up and pulled a Jade tablet from the sand. He looked at it as the sand fell to the floor. It was clear and bright green, just like the one your mother had.

His face flushed as he looked at the tablet.

"W-What?! This can't be right! Something has to be wrong, you can't-... This can't ... Me?... I..." He stuttered and shook his head.

"What? What is it? Is he ugly?!" You stood up and started to walk over to him. Bruno hid the tablet in his coat.

"You can't see it! If you see it, your gonna get mad! Everyone always gets mad at Bruno! ...and I don't know how you'll take it. The future is never wrong..."

You sighed and sat back on the sand filled floor. "I knew this was a bad idea... "

"...I'm sorry. If you want to see. I'll show you. But you have to tell me- PROMISE me, that you won't be mad. I can't control what I see... I didn't do it on purpose! You have to accept what you see!" His desperation was weird. You couldn't say no to him.

"Yeah, okay. I promise. I won't get mad. I need to know. This is my future we're talking about." You turned to look at him. He took a deep breath and pulled out the tablet.

"The person you are going to marry... Is me..." The green hue of the table shine brightly as it depicted you and Bruno's wedding day. You both shared a loving kiss and embrace in your wedding attire. You couldn't believe it.

"It's... You?" You were drawing a blank. How could it be him, you just met him.

"I know! I'm sorry! I can't change it... I can't do anything about it... Now you have to marry a guy like me and what can I do?!- I'm not very strong or good looking... I can't do anything... I'm useless..."

You stood up. He can't be serious. He just told your future, how could he think that about himself? The mans wallowed in shame to himself. You set your hand on his shoulder making him look up.

You started into his eyes, he tensed up. "We're family. I guess... This is just a better bond or something..?" You pulled him into a hug. He gasped a bit and hugged you back. After what felt like eternity, you pulled away.

"Tomorrow, at the fountain in the square, at five."

"What?"

"Meet me there. I mean, I'm gonna be here a while in Colombia and I guess it would be nice to talk about what I just saw after a calming eight-hour nap." You face started to turn red from embarrassment. Bruno thought it over and nodded.

"That sounds about right. Are you sure your okay with going home tonight? Maybe I could walk you or-?"

"No!- no,... I'm fine. I just need to cool my head. Thanks for the... Offer though..." You had put your hand up in your defense. He nodded.

"Right, everyone needs their face- I mean space! Uh... I'll walk you out." He took you out of the prophecy room and down the long, grueling steps. Then, he took you out of his room, and to the door.

"Uh... Well... See you tomorrow..." He waved at the doorstep.

"See you." You waved and started to walk away. You stopped and turned around, speed walking to him and lightly pinning him to the door. The man cowered and you moved his hair and kissed him in his forehead.

"Buenas noches, Bruno." You said as he squeaked.

"b-buenas noches..." You pulled away and the blushing man slipped back into the house. To cute. That was to cute. You were upset at first but... You couldn't stay mad at a cute man like that.

You could tease him alot more, and it never get old. You sigh as you start heading back home. You have a date tomorrow. Time to get a full eight hours.
