Hello! Just decided to add on to this story, since I have an idea, and a reader who would like a new chapter!!
"Gil! Wait Up!" Anne cried out. It was barely even fall, in fact autumn was still settling in. A week before Anne was to begin teaching at Avonlea School. Also, a day before Gilbert Blythe left for college. "Gil, wait!" She giggled, chasing him through the field near Green Gables.
"Come get me, Carrots!" He yelled back to her, a half-bushel of apples in his arm. "I'm right here!" He yelled to the panting girl, teasing her by running away with the apples.
"Gilbert, you bring those back this instant. Do you hear me? This instant!" She yelled back, still chasing him.
The two reached the small grove of apple trees, each one a rich green color with spots of red apples.
Anne ran to where she last saw Gilbert, only to find no one there. "Gil? Where did you…" Her words were abruptly interrupted.
"BOO!" Gilbert's voice yelled from behind. Anne screamed in fright, and tripped. She landed face first to the ground, giggling in surprise. Gilbert's face lightened, seeing that she was fine. "Are you all right?"
"Yes, no thanks to you!" Gilbert helped her up, and her face turned serious. She took the apples from him. "Thank you…you may ask for one if you would like."
Gilbert laughed loudly. "No thanks, I have a warm dinner to get home to before tomorrow. Will you come to the station to say goodbye?" He asked, staring intently at Anne.
"Of course I will." She said, still giggling. Gilbert's face turned serious.
"Don't."
"Don't?" Anne said.
"Don't. I couldn't bear seeing you, knowing I'm leaving you. I'm awful at good-byes." He said. He took the basket, and set in on the ground. Then took Anne's hands in his.
"Then why don't I come to greet you!" She laughed, not getting a cheerful response from Gilbert. "No, I'm going to come. We won't have to say goodbye, you'll write to me, won't you?"
"Of course! Every week," He finally smiled. "I promise. I need to know how my could've been pupils are!" The both of them laughed.
"I will miss you so much though, Gil. You're the only man I'll ever understand, as much as I ever could." She said, just smiling.
"And yet I still don't fully understand you," Their faces got closer to each other. Eyes glistening in the setting sun's light, staring into each other's. "Carrots."
Their lips touched, both soft to the touch. When they backed away, Anne blushed, still staring into Gilbert's eyes. They were such a perfect blue, in contrast to her dull green eyes. But they were more than that, but she never imagined she'd understand their complex beauty.
