    "It's been hours and we still haven't found any clues..will I ever find them Raven..?" She spoke softly, her voice slowly breaking as the clues make little to no sense, glancing over every paper and photo.

   "Of course you will, you can't give up hope quite yet, who knows maybe they're looking for you as well." Raven replied back as she sat herself on the countertop, her long black hair covering her eyes as she soon brushes them out of her face. Raven smiled her eyes still sparkling with hope that her best friend would find what they were looking for..let alone who they were looking for. Could it really work? Could she really find who she was looking for or would it all be for nothing? Raven looked at the ticking clock as it was 5 minutes before midnight, she let out a yawn portraying how tired she was becoming from how late the night was becoming. "Look..it's getting late Maya..lets go outside and enjoy what the night has to offer us for a while. Maybe it'll help you think about what or who you're looking for?" Raven suggested, Maya sighed in defeat as she put the papers and photos down. She got up from her seat, looking around the room, the windows covered with curtains as the moonlight peaks through each window. Raven got down from the counter whilst putting her hair into a ponytail, as Raven and Maya walk out the front door they're greeted with a calm breeze as the stars shine above them. Their eyes gazed up to the sky as the universe above them shines with multiple colors, blue, purple, the shade of pink hinting the skies colors. Maya made sure she bought a house with little to no light pollution in the way. Maya looks around before heading over to the side of the house, her footsteps crunching the ground below her feet, she picked up the ladder and extended it against the house before calling out to Raven.

   "Come on, we can stare at the sky from the rooftop. We'll be able to sit down and relax that way." Raven nodded shortly following after Maya, as they both got onto the rooftop they sat at the top looking up at the stars.  "Do you think that soulmates exist? It feels like another fantasy put into our heads to hopefully find the one true person to love us for who we are. To have a deeper connection to that individual and almost that individual alone." Maya's voice started to break under her breath as she starred up at the sky. Raven sighed as she didn't know exactly what to say, she put her arm around Maya's shoulder smiling.

     "Of course you'll find them, and they do exist. We may not see it everyday but it does happen, and I truly do believe that everyone has one, regardless of it being a romantic relationship or even just a simple friend who knows you better than anyone. The letters and clues you have truly do go together, I don't know how but thats because it's not for me, this is for you to figure out for yourself, if you really want to find who it is you gotta work for it. Don't expect it to come to you all the time just by itself. Sometimes you really do need to work to help get to the end Maya. I bet they're out there somewhere in the world let alone the universe working to look for you as well." Raven said with a smile as she spoke deep down from her heart, Maya broke her gaze from the sky looking at Raven with her kind blue eyes. As they sparkled with more hope then before, Maya nodded at her showing her she understood what Raven said and sighed softly before looking up at the sky once more.

   "This makes me feel a little better, you've always been here for me Raven, even after finding out what I went through to even get here, the clues make sense now, they're out there somewhere doing something with their lives. The fact on how many people we truly see finding their special place in someone else's heart, making them feel special to see a smile on their face. The way we cherish our friendship should also be the way we cherish who we'd love romantically. They're somewhere Raven..I just have to make sure I find them and I'm hoping I find them soon." Maya felt tears run down her cheeks as she realized that she didn't want to give up quite yet. Her smile slowly faded from her face while watching the sky roar with life and beauty. One day..we'll both find our way into someone's heart and to live a life with someone we can love and trust for years to come. As long as the night comes and goes it always comes back with a loving and caring feeling that we'll get where we need to go and who we need to find in the end.
