The Tales of Pietro and Zrinka- Part Two

Did make a book. It'll be up by tonight.

Pietro smiled, grabbing the card and toy panda. It was Zrinka's eighth birthday, and he had wanted to get her a present especially from him. Wanda had gotten her one, too, obviously. She and Gertie were Zrinka's best friends.

"You're ready for the party, right, you two?" Their mother asked the twins.

"Yeah!" Pietro exclaimed.

"Aren't you excited," She teased.

Pietro gave her a look.

Soon they were at the park, running around and playing with Zrinka, Markus, Tomas, and Gertie. When they settled down at a picnic table, Zrinka's mother started handing her the presents. Pietro's came last.

Zrinka opened it, swinging her legs. She pulled out the panda and shrieked. "YOU REMEMBERED! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!" She threw her arms around Pietro, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek.

He blushed. "You're welcome, Zrinka."

Zrinka giggled quietly.

Pietro wanted to say something else, but the kiss had made him blank. But an idea occurred to him. "Hey, Zrinka, you might want to try that again."

"Try what again?"

"That kiss. I think you missed."

Zrinka playfully pushed him, but she whispered something into his ear. "I'd love too, but Daddy would get mad at you."

"I'm willing to risk it," Pietro whispered back.

Zrinka smiled. "Later."

Pietro smirked at her. "I'll hold you to that."

"I'm sure you will."

"What are you two whispering about?" Zrinka's father asked.

"Nothing important," Pietro said. He winked at Zrinka.

Wanda, who has overheard the whole conversation and seen the wink, smiled devilishly. She opened her mouth. "That's not true! You two were talking about-"

Both Zrinka and Pietro clamped their hands over her mouth.

"Stop messing around, Wanda," Pietro said. "Now isn't the time for your shenanigans."

Wanda gave him a 'you're one to talk' look, but remained quiet. Zrinka and Pietro removed her hands.

Zrinka grabbed the front of Wanda's dress, pulling her towards her. "Wanda, don't ruin my birthday. Please."

"Fine. But only cuz you're one of my best friends."

"Thank you."

Wanda shrugged, settling back down. The adults gave them questioning looks, but didn't say anything.

Later, Pietro and Zrinka ran over to a creek. They were holding hands.

"Pietro, you know when we get older, we're gonna like people other than each other."

"Maybe. I hope not. But if it's what makes you happy, then I'll be happy."

"How sweet."

"I do try."

Pietro wrapped his arm around her waist. "Never forget you're beautiful, Zrinka."

"I won't. I promise."

"Good."
