Mhairi:

~Insert~

"Chris! Chris?!"

*A young, 20-year-old Mhairi is currently running in the middle of a huge, old garden surrounded by lots of glittering lights all over the said place*

"Chris! My wee Chrissy Chris! Where are you?!"

*Mhairi saw a young boy standing not so far away from where she is. She pauses for a while and catches her breath. Her feet suddenly move towards the young boy. The said boy didn't turn his head to her*

"Finally, you heard me!"

*Her eyes widens in bewilderment as soon as the young lad turns and beams his attention to her; now seeing the grown-up Chris smiling at her*

W-Wait... W-Why am I seeing a different Chris now? Where's my wee Chrissy Chris?

*The grown-up Chris genially walk towards to her front; his dazzling, elating smile still on his mouth. He pauses and lays his palm in front of her*

"Could I please request the honour of Ms. Mhairi McHardy to have a dance with me?"

*The surrounding swiftly shifts from a big garden into a veranda overlooking this huge Loch from afar. The said place is decorated with lots of enchanting, glittering lights beaming on both of them. She gazes around once again. To her surprise, she now finds herself sitting on the hammock while looking up to Chris*

W-What's--- What's happening to me? W-Why---

---W-Why am I in this place?

Where am I?

*She's about to put her hand over his palm when the surrounding around her suddenly shifts once again; shifting from the veranda into a living room of a house. Her gaze widens, now seeing her own self hugging this tall, young lad through his back. Her other self is sobbing while her arms are clinging around his waist*

Why am I hugging that, that guy? And why am I crying?

*Her surrounding keeps on shifting; from hugging the said tall guy up to kissing each other while heeding their sobs. A flicker of light keeps on flashing in her eyes that's why she couldn't see clearly the face of the tall, young lad she's kissing while stroking his teary face with her thumb*

"You don't have to be scared. I'm here..."

That voice...

"...I'm always here to protect you, remember?"

"Chris..."

N-No... T-That's--- I-It can't be...

"I've managed to wait for you for 10 long years. There's no way I could possibly not wait till you're finally mine again, till I can finally hold you again."

*Mhairi shakes her head in total disbelief from what she heeds. The flickering lights subsides from flashing; slowly seeing the face of the tall young lad that her hands are holding. Her mouth suddenly opens uttering these words*
