Zero to Piano

A Lighter, a Pointer, and a Universe

What is this? Another book?

Yes, this is another book. It'll give you an insight of what Jim and Ariel in the book "You're My Treasure" had that eventually strengthened their connection. I did mention that they had talked for weeks, and this book will showcase those meetings they've had.

So, think of it like this, the first book (and the second one which is already up) as a movie. This book is a TV series.

Get it?

The book will merely contain six parts, but my mind might change. We'll see, you know. But I hope you enjoy this writing of mine. I am very aware of the state of the fandom, which is either non-existent or dead. But who cares?

His boots scraped against the ground in rush, bringing the male to the stairs that connected the inn and the beach. Their secret meeting was always the reason why he'd always rush his way down to the beach. Besides, when it comes to a boy who's in love, there's no such thing as stopping for him.

Jim reached the beach with a loud thump after having himself almost trip a step while descending. With the lighting provided by the sunset on the far west, he saw only the water ahead of him. No Ariel in sight.

"Alright... I'm early, as usual, I suppose."

The boy shrugged, and walked to line where the small waves would reach the sand. He removed his shoes and threw them away. His hand reached for the inside part of his leather jacket, checking if his possession was still with him. a smile grew on his face.

"I have 'em..."

Not long after that, a red head breached the surface just ahead of the boy. The red head's appearance widened that goofy smile on Jim's face.

"Good..." Ariel turned to the sunset, "evening, Jim."

"Evening. That's very formal of you," Jim said. The response earned a shrug from the female.

"A little bit of formality wouldn't hurt, don't you think?"

He nodded. "It wouldn't," Jim's hand snaked into his jacket. "Let's cut the fun part. Do you want to see the items I've brought to you?"

She nodded even more vigorously.

"Well, I'll grab out whatever comes into my grasp first," his hand went even deeper, and Jim sensed the sensation of a cloth. He pulled it out, and it was a piece of red cloth. Almost like a handkerchief. But then, Ariel wouldn't recognize the item's identity.

"What is that?" Ariel asked.

"It's a piece of cloth," his smile grew on only one end, so it wasn't really a smile. It was more of a smirk. Ariel saw the smirk.

"What is that?" She repeated her question, emphasizing on every word now.

"Haha, calm down. This piece of cloth is not just any piece of cloth. It's a type of cloth that you'd find on boats that use solar power in order to fly. It absorbs the sunlight, and if it's still functional..." Jim stood up, and Ariel's eyes locked onto the piece of cloth. Those eyes of hers widened right away when they saw how brightly the cloth glowed.

The cloth absorbed the sunlight from the sunset, its energy spinning around inside the cloth with nowhere else to circulate. The behavior affected the cloth to vibrate a little.

Once it had collected enough sunlight, Jim hid the cloth away from the sunlight. He bent his knees down, showing the cloth closer to Ariel. Her eyes were filled with curiosity, although squinting due to the heat the cloth was radiating.
