I woke up in the lobby of Yoglabs, it was warm enough, but still missing something. More like someone. I sighed and sat up, rubbing the back of my neck. What happened? How did I get here? I went to place my thumb over the ring that was on my finger, but it wasn't there, at this I started to panic.

"Honeydew?!" I called out frantically. He rushed out of his office to calm me down, but I was already crying as I held my hand in front of his face, screaming, "WHERE'S LOMADIA?!"

"Xephos... hush, it's alright. She's probably back at the house..." he rubbed my back as I cried and cried, "Why don't you just go check up on her..?"

"Honeydew, I need Lomadia!" I continued crying as I rocked myself back and forth.

"O-okay! I'll go get her then!" he replied and before I could object he was back in his office and probably back at my house. I waited for several minutes and I started to worry. What if I did something horrible and now she wants a divorce?! What if she found out?! What if... what if she doesn't love me anymore..? My heart pounded through my ears and tears streamed down my face. Seconds later, Honeydew came out of his office, carrying a blonde haired girl in his arms.

"Xephos..." was all he said as he placed the girl down in front of me. Lomadia. Her usually perfect hair was all messy, her face was still beautiful, but she was bloody and cold. I stoked her face and the tears didn't stop coming, they just continued on and on.

"Xeph..?" I heard Lom's soft voice say distantly. I looked up at the cold corpses. I'm going insane... brilliant...

"Lom?" I whimpered, tears still going down my face.

"Come on, Xephos... wake up, love..." she said. And I actually woke up as I realized that it wasn't real.

"Oh my God, Lomadia..." I sighed in relief when I woke up to her beautiful face hovering above me. I pushed myself up slightly and kissed her, "Have I mentioned I love you?" I asked, pulling away for only a second, then I went back to kissing her.

"Many times..." she chuckled and pulled away.

"Oh god... you were dead... and... and Honeydew and... and I'm so glad that was a dream..." I said and hugged her tight, starting to cry again.

"Xeph, it's okay... I'm okay... you're okay... we're okay, okay?" she said softly as I cried into her shoulder.

"Okay..." I replied, but didn't let her go. I don't want to ever let her go.
