Neptune's P.O.V. (And since this novel is near to its end. I know, I know. It's hard for me to end this too, Let's give Neptune a time to show us what he thinks inside his mind in his remaining days here on earth.)
It was really cute when Mandy have that 'scowl' on her face. When she unconsciously pursing her lips whenever she's pissed or mad at something I said. I can't blame her, Bethany is real pretty. I didn't know that when she had her makeover this last weekend, she would this...gorgeous. I mean, look at her now! But at least the list of Blue Valley High is now SHUT OFF. Cause, as I said to Matthew before, we do not need to care how people look like and tease them about it.
It's one of the things I learned here on Earth. That no matter what mabe their gender or the style they do it's up to them. (A/N: Sucks that in reality, what I said isn't true. Stupid society.) And I think it's better. But no matter what, Mandy will still be the prettiest girl in my eyes. I only have a few weeks with me. And the Spring Fair is the last event of the school I'll be in. When the night comes that day, I'd be flying off the space like nothing happened. I already prepared my speech for Mr. Garner anyways. But what I will say to Mandy? That is not on my list yet.
The truth is? I don't want to leave Earth. I've been attached here even though I only spent a year. The friends I made, the people I met, the places I went and most of all the girl who is my mission. To make her fall in love with me. Mandy Crooke. At first, I was determined to know how love feels like, research and research non-stop to find out how I can do it. It was hard for me to understand. Why do people love the feeling of love. I can't think of any special reason why should we like it. But after months of being with Mandy, seeing her most of the time, I guess I am proud to say...That I found love by myself. Without trying or forcing anyone to love me. I, myself fell for it. And I don't know how or when it did really happen, but I just knew that in one blink of an eye, Mandy was the girl I wanted to spend the rest of my existence with.
I can see her with me. And I wanted to grow old with her. Be surrounded by young grandchildren and somehow when the end of time comes for us, we'll still be together, holding hands and not afraid of what might come and get us. I learned that, love was right on front of me all of the time. That I was not only looking enough. It was there, I can grab it. And I can tell, I was just stupid to see that it is. When I was looking at Mandy most of the time, there's this sensation inside me that I can't explain. And I don't want to. It's a happy and unforgettable thing that doesn't need to be explained. I was contented.
I also told myself, that if ever Mandy wouldn't like me back? Then I can't do anything about it. I won't force her or anything in that matter, because love doesn't work that way. It comes naturally. And if that person isn't really for you, then it won't come back. It will never give the same feelings you are giving them. You just have to let it all go and somehow, make yourself happy and find that true person made for you. And I just wanted to pray to whoever that will hear my prayers, please let me know if I have chance with Mandy or not.
"Neptune?" Mandy asked me, I was cut off in my daydream when I heard her voice.
"Sorry, I was just distracted." I apologized and smiles at her and Justin. We are now having our lunch in the cafeteria and I don't have plans to go on my next class. And since I can sense Mandy feels the same way too, maybe I should ask her to hang out today.
"Distracted, thinking about-" Justin was suposed to say Mandy's name when I glared at him to make his mouth stop talking. This bastard don't know what he's getting into.
"So, Mandy. Do you want to just hang out after lunch and skip school with me? Just this once?" I asked, looking at her. With my puppy-cute eyes. I hope it works.
"Neptune, I've got to keep my grades on the flo-" she's about to say and lecture about how she wants to keep her grades up but I went fast and gave her a peck on her lips, smirking after. I heard Justin cleared his throat and stood up from his chair.
"I guess that is my cue to leave then. Enjoy skipping school. I still have my football practice. Be careful. Give me a ring Mandy if I have to kick his butt for you. Bye bye, Dy. And also to you, Neptune." he said and turned to walk out of the room.
"Bye, Tin! Enjoy the practice. Slap the b*tch hard when she's harassing you!" she yelled. She's talking about Megan exactly. And I would love to watch Justin give her a lesson for the whole school to see.

(A/N: So we're back to Mandy's P.O.V. here.)
Where did Neptune brought me? He put a blindfold over my eyes to make sure I wouldn't recognize the place. He slowly untie my blindfold and let me take in the place before me.
One word. WOW.
"Where are we, Neptune?" I asked him, practically getting excited and all because I've never been in this place in my entire life. So this is a new thing to me.
"This is my secret hideout. Whenever I feel like I need to be alone and think of things without anyone bothering me. This is the place." he answered me, fixing a blanket on the ground and setting a picnic basket with it. Did he cook all of the stuff in there? I can't wait to taste them all. I'm pretty sure it will be fantastic.
"You cooked all of those?" I asked him, sitting across him and peeking in inside of thr basket. Wow, who knows he can be a natural cook?
"Yep, why. Is it hard to believe a guy like me can cook? Even though i can be a bit cocky at times, I can still be as normal as other guys out there, Mandy.' he grinned and helped me prepare things that we will be using today. I can't wait to start and have a kind of date with Neptune.

We finished eating in a blur. And I can't count the minutes that have passed. I'm always like this when I'm with Neptune. It's like I don't see or care about the things that surrounds us and only us matters.
(PLAY THE SONG. NOW! ----->)
Neptune looked at me and suddenly a song played out of nowhere. I recognize the song! It's from my favourite bands. Owl City (Actually this sin't a band.) And He is We. And as the song started playing, I felt myself dancing with Neptune. And as he looked into my eyes and smile, we move into the rhythm while I lay my head on his shoulder.
Wishing this moment would never end, I looked at Neptune's peaceful face. Closing his eyes to feel the music in him and so we can sway in the beat. It's like I'm a princess out of a Disney movie. Remember that scene of the best and Belle dancing? I felt that way right now too. Only that I am not dancing with a beast. I felt his hands grip min tighter, I listened to beat of his heart inside his chest.
"What are you thinking about, Neptune?" I asked him.
I suddenly felt him stiffen. Why? What did I say? I was just asking what his thinking about.
"Nothing. I shouldn't tell you right now anyways. Come on, I'll show you where I live." he smiles and changed the subject. Weird.
