Ok, so I just HAD to redo Chapter 3. Something just wasn't right… and it definitely didn't sit well with me, of course the fighting scene was well... it really sucked. SOOO here's the NEW and definitely improved chapter. The beginning is the same, but it changes more towards the end. I was up until 1:00am last night thinking of an alternate idea, and this is what I got, so I hope you enjoy and I apologize for the previous Chapter 3… because yea, I know… it really wasn't my best. I promise this will be waaaay better.

A week later, I was used to my new home. The scenery all around town was beautiful and everyone was very nice. It was really great being with Mist again. She was all I'd ever need.

I was still asleep in bed when I heard a voice. "Raguna! Raguna, wake up! Did you hear me? Wake up!" I stretched and rubbed my eyes before I opened them to find Mist sitting next to me on my bed.

I jumped up in surprise. "M-Mist? What are you doing here and how did you get inside, anyway!?"

"I have a spare key, silly!" Spare key? I didn't even know there was a spare key! Was she hiding that the whole time?

I sighed, "What do you need so early in the morning?" I tried to stop it, but I couldn't help that my face was getting redder every second she was there.

"Early in the morning!? It's eleven o'clock and you promised me you'd go on a picnic with me for lunch!" she pouted.

"I overslept? I'm so sorry, Mist! I'll be ready to leave in a few minutes", I said, trying to be as apologetic as I possibly could.

"Ok, then. I'll be outside. And hurry up! It's not polite to keep a girl waiting", she winked as she walked out the door.

I got ready quickly and walked outside. "So, where are we going?" I asked.

"It's a secret", Mist replied.

"What kind of secret?" I said playfully.

"The secretive kind", she giggled. She took my hand and we walked to the 'secret' destination. When we got there I was speechless. We were at the bottom of a waterfall, the grass was green, flowers poked out of the ground, and there was a huge and magnificent cherry tree. "Like it?" she asked.

"Yea", I said, "It's amazing."

"It's my favorite place to come to! I'm glad you like it."

We laid out a blanket under the cherry tree and sat down. Mist had a little picnic basket. When she took out the food, it looked like a feast. "Did you cook all of this?"

You bet! I love cooking", she said.

When I tasted everything, it was delicious. I had no idea Mist was such a great cook! "It's amazing, Mist!"

"I'm really glad you like it", she smiled.

After we were done eating we walked over to the side of the lake at the base of the waterfall, where we sat down and dipped our feet into the water.

The gentle breeze was blowing cherry blossoms from the tree everywhere. "Isn't it so peaceful here, Raguna?" Mist said.

"Yea, it really is", I said. I took it all in… the waterfall, the blue sky, the cherry tree, and of course… Mist. I didn't think it was possible to feel so great. I was in complete tranquility.

"Thanks so much for coming with me."

"I was happy to." She smiled at me, which always warmed my heart. We sat in silence for a while, just admiring the scenery. I didn't think things could get any better.

"Raguna…" she said after a while. I looked up at her and she quickly looked at the water. "Have you ever… thought of me as… well, more than a friend?"

Her words froze me. She averted her gaze from the water to my eyes, which in turn, made me even more anxious. We stared at each other for what seemed like hours. Mist patiently waited for my answer, but I had no idea what to say. Why would she ask me that? Did she know about my feelings towards her? After all, I was never really good at hiding my emotions. I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came out. Why couldn't I just tell her? What was the worst that could happen? Suddenly, my stomach didn't feel so good… I wanted to get out of there, and fast, but I knew I couldn't. I had to say something. "W-well", I began. Oh great, I couldn't even speak straight either! "I… kind of do."

"Just… kind of?"

"Well… maybe… more than kind of..." I thought my heart would stop beating right then and there, until I noticed that she was blushing just as much as I was. "What about you?" I gulped. "Do you like me… as more than a friend?"

"Well..." she began. I really loathed the suspense, though I knew I shouldn't be the one complaining about that… A few minutes later she finally spoke. "Yes… I have for a long time." The suspense was replaced by an awkward silence. Neither of us knew what to say and I was still contemplating what had just occurred. Then, she moved closer to me and took a hold of my hand as she rested her head on my shoulder.

Oh yes, I like this ending A LOT better and I hope you do too! *sniffle* I love… *sniffle* happy endings. I'm pretty sure the next chapter will be the last, unless I get some more ideas to keep it going… hmm. I still have to think about it. I absolutely love Raguna! I just want to give him a biggg hug! Haha ANYWAY… I hope you enjoyed. Oh and one of Raguna's uber cute lines came from a very awesome friend of mine! ;) So, this chapter is dedicated to my amazing buddy, Zak.
