"Jump?are you insane!?"Roman whisper yelled"no,I just wanna live.jump!"Virgil then shoved Roman off the ledge.

Roman yelped as he began to fall,Virgil then jumped off as a creature leaped out the leaves.

Virgil fell and grabbed Roman before beginning to float,Virgil turned and saw a mountain lion growling at him.

Virgil hissed back at the mountain lion"are you ok,Princey?"Virgil asked"y-yeah,are you?"Virgil chuckled"you're a bit heavy I'll admit that."

"Hey!"Virgil then landed on the ground below,Roman looked up at the ledge"how did you know something was there?"Virgil smiled softly"I have good ears."

Roman chuckled"and good for that,c'mon we should keep going."Roman put a arm around Virgil as they kept going.

It was starting to get dark as Roman looked around"where is that path?"Virgil shrugged"we'll find it,there's always convenient timing."Roman smiled"that only happens in story books,Virge."

A small firefly flew into Virgil's face making scrunch his nose and swat at it"what is this tiny creature!?"Roman chuckled"it's a firefly,they're really beautiful."Virgil tilted his head"are they made of fire?"

Roman shook his head"they're harmless,watch this."Roman creeped up on a opening of tall grass,then bolted to the middle.

In his path fireflies shot into the sky with blinking yellow lights,Virgil gasped"wait for me!"Virgil ran after Roman,Roman smiled and stopped running around making Virgil bump into him.

Roman chuckled and looked up at the fireflies,his hand brushing Virgil's.

Virgil smiled and grabbed Roman's hand as he rested his head on his shoulder"ti dewo comba,Roman."Roman smiled"ti dewo comba,little comet."

A firefly landed on Virgil's nose making him reel his head,Roman looked at Virgil.

He was so beautiful in the moon light with the firefly's light reflect in his eyes how did I deserve him?

Virgil giggled as the firefly went back to the others in the sky"come back here!"Virgil floated up and tried to catch one of the bugs"be careful Virgil!"Roman said.

Virgil pawed at the air then saw something in the corner of his eye,he stared up at the sky and saw a light purple go across the sky no..Virgil landed on the ground"let's head back,now."Roman nodded"o-ok."
