The Forest Princess [✓]

The End...?

I look at Saria, who looks back at me for a brief moment, then to Jessica.
"What kind of questions?" Saria asked, regret evident on her face.

"Like: 'When did you realise you liked each other?' Y'know... basic stuff."

I mentally sigh in relief," you can go first Saria. When did you first like me?"

Saria blushed, "well, I realized I liked Amanda when she gave me this necklace." Saria stated, grasping the blue gem.

"And you, Amanda?" Jessica asked. The question piqued Saria's interest.

"I realized I first liked Saria when... I first saw her..."

"Aww," Jessica coos, "love at first sight!"

"Woah! Who said anything about love?!" Saria and I exclaim in unison.

"You to love each other, don't you?"

Saria and I look at each other, then quickly look away.

"You two do love each other! I knew it!"

While Jessica was having her own little celebratory dance behind me, I started thinking. Does Saria love. Could she? Would she? Should she?
My mind was racing with all these thoughts until suddenly, Lyla came to a halt. Saria jumped off and walked forward as if being pulled in by some unknown source. I look up and see a beautiful waterfall looking into a big lake. Saria was heading right for the water.

"Saria, there's water there! Be careful! It looks deep!" I shout but she continues. I run after her since she isn't stopping. I won't make it to her in time. Just then I see her foot hover above the water for a split second before landing peacefully on the surface. I hear Jessica gasp behind me.

"Are you two coming?" Saria called. I walk up to the water's edge.

"We can't walk on-" I stop abruptly as I notice my foot isn't disrupting the surface of the water. I put my other foot on the water, and start giggling. I wasn't sure if it was out of happiness or fear. Jess and Lyla soon followed, swiftly making our way through the water fall and into the cave. What's up with all the caves lately?

"Are you ready?" The princess asks, "you don't have to come with me. You can stay here. In your world."

"With our whole village after us? No thanks." Jess comments.

"There are more dangerous things in my world. More dangerous people. You could die..."

"I think I will take my chances..."
