-One year later: Carlos and Nicole are now fifteen.
"Hurry up we're almost there!" I shouted at Nicole.
"Where are we going anyways?" Nicole asked, tired.
"Somewhere special." I answered
We arrived at the bridge that crossed the Starfall River to the Forbidden Ground. It was fenced with a sign that read POSTED NO TRESPASSING, TRESPASSERS WILL BE AREESTED AT POINT.
"Isn't this illegal?" Nicole asked
"Even if it is, I love it" I answered.
I opened the door and crossed the bridge to the field of flowers of all colors, and a land with green hills that stand below the silver lining that the moonlight gave to the forgotten land. "I dare you run, and I dare you to try and come in here." I dared Nicole. She hesitated but she did come in, running, and laid beside the shallow pond, she asked me to lay beside her and enjoy the dotted stars that lined up a vast and pitch black darkened sky. "Follow me towards the Hills I want to show you something." I told her and she followed. We made our way towards the highest hill and I covered her eyes, "Follow me," I whispered in her ear. Once we were on top of the highest hill, I uncovered her eyes, she stood amazed, I could see the lights of the distant downtown reflecting in her green irises, the beautiful city in all its splendor stood before us, the cool air hit our faces, it felt like freedom, the multicoloured lights flickered in the vast emptiness called distance.
"A dream of paradise." Nicole called it.
"A dream that one day our children will rejoice, a dream that makes anyone stop breathing just to look at, a dream of paradise." I said.
"Since I was a little girl, I always imagined why the plated moon gave way to a burning sun when they could share the sky and be together side by side." Nicole said.
"Because the beauty of the moon can only be seen in the darkness when the bright, red sun has rested so it doesn't outshine the moon." I explained her.
"I want you to promise me something." Nicole told me.
"What?" I asked her.
" I want you to take the oath, under the silver plated, moon that rests on the vast, dark sky, that you will love me, no matter what, or what ever happens. Promise me." Nicole pleaded.
I smiled, I kneeled to pick up a beautiful flower growing beside me, a multicolored Rose, I used my light power to light up the rose and make it shine with its now neon colors, I stood up, and slowly got close to Nicole's pale pink lips, kissed her and whispered in her ear, "I seal this oath with a kiss," I paused and continued to say "I promise."
"Now you have to promise me something," I told Nicole.
"What your proposal?" she said smiling holding the glowing neon rose to her small nose.
"That when all of this ends, we will marry, we will have two children, with beautiful dimples like yours and a sweet charm like mine," I paused and laughed. "and we will let them see the Dream of Paradise here in the Forbidden Ground."
"I also seal this with a passionate kiss," she paused and kissed me for a good thirty seconds, "that we will marry and have beautiful children."
"Let's never forget this promises that were greeted upon the moon that will one day rise over the beautiful, free Third Town." I said.
We formed a heart with both of our hands, kissed and stated in unison "I promise. "
