MistressCoCoLoVeR: Hi! This my first Sorcerer Hunters fic. I noticed there is very few Chocolate/Carrot fics. So you guessed it. This is a Chocolate/Carrot pairing. Other pairing are Tira/Marron and Gateau/OC. I don't own Sorcerer Hunters or the songs "I Try" and "This time I'll be Sweeter" by the wonderful and divine R&B/Jazz artist Angela Bofill.

Enjoy!!

I Try

Prelude

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Darling can't you see
what losing you has done to me
I'm not the same girl I used to be

have a change of heart

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chocolate Misu paced restlessly behind the curtain. Tonight was Carrot's birthday party and she was going to be the last act to perform for him. She checked her appearance one more time. She looked absolutely stunning in her sleeveless gown. The dress went down to her ankles and her small feet were put in pure white heels. Her red hair was straighten down her back and had piece of hair swooped over her left eye making her look alluring and mysterious. "Today I'm going to lay it all out in the open today," muttered Chocolate to herself. Over the years trying to get Carrot's attention has wearied Chocolate down. All the rejections and trying to get him in line and make him notice the woman in her and see him chase all those women has harden and braked her heart all at the same time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

don't leave me standing in the dark
Don't let confusion keep us apart

Come back to me and I'll guarantee
all the tenderness and love you'll ever need

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Looked through the curtain and that everyone was here. She thought about her last dream meeting with her friend from another dimension from last night.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Flashback - THE DREAM~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She sat on the cream colored sofa telling her whole life story and love life to Kiwi or as she is known in her world Kimmy. She told her about the countless times she tried to get Carrot's attention and was rejected and his skirt chasing. She cried for what seemed like hours. Kiwi understood her pain. She went through a similar thing with her crush Nate Johnson but was rejected too. They listened to old school music like the Temptations, Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin, Nate King Cole, and Angela Bofill to name a few. When Chocolate heard "I Try" by Angela Bofill, it all clicked for her. Kiwi told her if you ever wanted to visit or come and live with her all she had to do was snap her fingers and she would take care of the rest. Kiwi told Chocolate that she was a Wiccan(sp?) and her powers would take care of her and keep her safe on her way to her world. They said later and they both woke up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~ End of Flashback ~~~~~~~~~~~

She toned her Smokey voice to its right pitch and got ready to sing. Her name was called and she waked out on stage. Carrot and his younger Marron and her little sister Tira sat in front. Marron and Tira sat in the front holding hands. Gateau sat to their left in shadows looking at them longingly. Carrot was ogling a serving waitress. 'Ok, here we go' ,she thought and grabbed the mic. "Hello everyone. Is Everyone having a good time? Ok, I'm going to sing a song to the man I've loved since I was little. This it to you Carrot. Happy Birthday." Chocolate said looking him in the with such intensity and love. Carrot just sat there and thought to himself that Chocolate looked beautiful tonight. Chocolate cleared her throat and sung her heart out.

[Chocolate singing "I Try"]

I tried to do the best I can for you

But it seems its not enough

And you know I care even when you're not there

But its not what you want

Close your door when I want to give you more

And I fill, I fill so out of place

And you know its true

Don't you think I'm good enough for you

You can't even see that you're hurting me

And I want, I want this pain to stop

So if you really care I mean if you really, really care

Well then open up your heart to me, open up to me

You know that I tried to be with you

And you know that I wanted to see it through

You know that I needed to make you mine

And it's was just only a matter

You know that I tried to be with you

And you know that I wanted to see it through

You know that I needed to make you mine

And it's was just only a matter

"You know that I tried to be with you

And you know that I wanted to see it through

You know that I needed to make you mine

And it's was just only a matter" she sang. The room erupted into a cheers.

She came down the stage steps and went straight to Carrot's table. She walked up to him and kissed him softly on the lips leaving him breathless. "Go bye darling. My joy. My pain." she said and snapped her fingers. As she disappeared in to the silver dust her last words would haunt Carrot until he found her. "I will always love you Carrot Glace," she whispered and she was gone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since you've been away
I haven't seen the light of the day
I'm lost without you
Can't find my way

So won't you please be fair
And let me show how much I care
Say you'll be mine
And answer my prayer

Come back to me
And I promise I'll be
Everything that's bright and new
Your whole life through

This time I'll be sweeter
Our love will run deeper
I won't mess around
I won't let you down

Have faith in me
Have faith in me
