Lucy's POV:
"Pssst..."
"Psssssst..."
"Psssssst!! Hey Lucy!!"
My eyes fluttered open and I saw Markl climb on top of my bed. He had a huge smile on his face. A smile soon graced my face as I sat up.
"Good morning Markl!" I greeted him with a yawn. He crawled right next to me and cuddled himself into the crook of my arm.
"Master Howl says we'll be arriving at Star Lake soon!" Markl smiled. I laughed and nodded as Markl got under the covers. I wonder where Markl's parents are... my smile faltered at the thought but it soon returned once I heard the soft breathing of Markl. He's sleeping. I suppose it couldn't hurt to sleep a little longer...
Howl's POV:
Turning off the shower I wrapped a towel around my body. Using some potions and brews I colored and dried my hair. Walking down the hallway I went to change in my room. Once I was dressed I walked down the hall to Markl's room. Knocking lightly I cracked open the door. He was fast asleep in his bed. I walked in and sat on his bed.
"Markl. Wake up Markl." I cooed as a sleepy Markl woke up.
"Good morning Master Howl!" Markl greeted me. I smiled and ruffled his hair.
"We'll be arriving at Star Lake soon! Tell Lucy and then come down for breakfast." I told him, standing up. He nodded and hopped out of bed.

"Cal what do you think is taking them so long?" I asked my fiery friend as I finished serving the eggs. I had the entire table set and the food was already and served. "It's going to get cold." I huffed.
"You know girls, they take forever to get ready!" Calcifer chuckled. "Oh, and when you're ready I've parked by the lake." Cal informed me. I nodded and smiled, setting the still hot pan in the sink.
"I'm going to see what's keeping them." I told Calcifer as I walked upstairs. I walked into Markl's room but it was empty. Peering into Lucy's room I saw the cutest thing I'd ever witnessed. Little Markl had curled himself up into Lucy's side and they were both sleeping soundly. I clutched the fabric over where my heart would be. There was an aching pain that resonated within my chest. I want to feel love... I actually want to feel love...
