Disclaimer: I don't own Zatch Bell or the song "Could It Be" in any way
Setting: Still at Kiyo's apartment; around 3:00 in the morning.
Notes: Kiyo's thoughts are in bold, Megumi's are in italics, Tia's are in parentheses, and Zatch's are in regular apostrophes this chapter.
"Megumi," Kiyo had began, "I want you to know that I have had feelings for you too. But because of a painful memory, I never acted on my wish." "What wish was that, Kiyo?" Megumi asked innocently, but still having her arms wrapped around Kiyo. He smiled and said, "To be with you, Megumi…" At this she gasped. "Kiyo, my wish was, no, my wish is to be with… with you." She then leaned to Kiyo to share a long passionate kiss before they fell asleep together.
"Zatch." He looked up to see Tia talking. "I know that I chase you, choke you, and…" "Tackle me, yell at me, and slam me into walls." Zatch laughed as he finished Tia's sentence for her. ('Okay Zatch, I get the point!') "Yeah, even though I do all those things to you, I couldn't have asked for a better person to fall in love with." Tia said quietly. "I just never planned for it to be you…" "That's a nice thing to say, Tia. I think." Zatch said both trying to embarrass Tia and hold back his own tears. "Do you remember the other song that I would only sing to you, Zatch?" "Uh…" he looked in astonishment. "Something about wishes, I think." "That's right!" exclaimed Tia. "Why don't you sing it to remind me, Tia?" She blushed, but began the song anyway. But not before cuddling to Zatch, who in turn, leaned against her.
When daytime turns to night…
When the moon… shines bright.
When you're tucked in tight…
And everything's alright.
Slip softly to that place…
Where secret thoughts run free…
And there come face to face…
With who you want to be… so…
Swim across the ocean blue.
Fly a rocket… to the moon.
You can change your life, or you can change the world!
Take a chance…
Don't be afraid 'cause life… is yours to live!
Take a chance… and then the best is yet to come…!
Make a wish…!
It's up to you.
Find the strength inside…
And watch your dreams come true!
You don't need a shooting star!
The magic's right there in your heart…!
Close your eyes…! Believe…! And make a wish…
I've always hoped for happiness.
And finally fulfilled my wish.
'Cause I just need… to see you smile……
Make… a WISH…!
(Pause)
It's up to you…!
Find the strength inside.
And watch your dreams come true…
WATCH YOUR… dreams… come true…!
(Pause)
The magic's right there in… your… heart…!
(Pause)
Believe…!
Make… a wish…
It's up to you…
Find the strength inside…
And watch your dreams come true…!
You don't need a shooting star…
The magic's right there in your heart…
Close you eyes… Believe… And make… a… wish…
As the song ended, the two became very sleepy. They feel against each other not realizing Tia was in Zatch's arms. "I know I got my wish Zatch, what about you?" she questioned sleepily. But Zatch was already in deep slumber. She was disappointed as she tried to go to sleep, but smiled into a dream at Zatch's last murmurs. "You… were my… wish… Tia."
