11th Joke - Funny Stories of Lives Past [Event! Valentine's Day]

[xochipilli_cursed]

[[Aaron checks the mail to find a package! Normally, Aaron would avoid the mail but he's been socializing a lot and thinks it must be a Valentine's Day gift. Sort of nervous, and very curious, he'll take it inside and open it to find...

... nothing.

Then the memories hit him. An entire life time's worth of memories. Aaron stands there, staring at the open box for a few minutes as he tries to process all this.

These are memories that were stolen from him by Mayfield! A life where he was happier, where he had much more to live for. Where he had someone to live for.

He was in love then. He still is and he always will be. Could she still be too?

He doesn't dwell on that yet. They are here, now, together. What are the chances?

Aaron let's himself calm before walking to the phone.

His drone sister glares at him and he chases her out of the room before making a call.

Would she remember?]]

[Call to Elizabeth Tudor | Filtered away from the drones]

"Elizabeth, it's me. It's Aaron...

... I mean it's me, Zachariah."

[Elizabeth meanwhile had been having a few moments of anxiety as well.

Her memories, they....were different now. She remembered...dear lord, she remembered things.

Was this truly what had happened. ....she'd always had a soft spot for her friend Robin, that she'd sometimes wondered....but now. This other young man...

She was trying to piece everything together while remaining collected, sitting on her bed when she hears the phone ring. She takes a deep breathe to compose herself before picking it up.]

Hello.....Zachariah

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[Her voice, did he hear recognition in it?

He hopes.]]

I can't begin to describe how good it is to hear you say my name again.

I missed it.

[someday-a-queen.livejournal.com]

[Yes there is. Now...]

.....You remember too now?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

I do.

I was such a fool, I let them take me away.

But I am here now. I'm back.

[[Even if he is in Aaron.]]

[someday-a-queen.livejournal.com]

.......

There wasn't anything you could have done.

[But she's holding back a smile. ....How long ago had it been since she'd heard his voice.]

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

I still won't excuse my absence.

Not now that I've been gifted this second chance.

[[A pleased sigh.]]

You're voice is as beautiful as ever.

[[How many times had he seen her in class and not known, not even felt a twinge of what he did now?

This town had stolen that but now it was back and he enjoyed it.]]

[someday-a-queen.livejournal.com]

[And she laughs]

And you are as sweet talking as ever.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

You bring out the best in me, you always have.

I really cannot believe I have gone so long sitting beside you in class without knowing.

[someday-a-queen.livejournal.com]

You give me too much credit.

And I as well. It's quite odd....I wonder why they took our memories away...or why they're giving them back now...

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

I hardly think I give you enough.

This town takes everything away from us when we arrive and gives them back for the holidays. It doesn't seem all unlikely that they would steal our love along with it. T

hough the drones are acting strange. My sister doesn't seem pleased. She keeps trying to spy on me.

Can we meet? I could listen to your voice all day, though I fear I may not survive on just the memory of your visage alone.

[someday-a-queen.livejournal.com]

Well I should hardly wish to be the causes of your demise. Where should we meet? I suppose we don't have to hide from Kat any more.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

I suppose we don't though I do now wish this town to take this away from us again.

I know it seems forward, but how about Makeout Point? Please do not find fault in my intentions, it is just a place I am sure we can avoid prying eyes.

[someday-a-queen.livejournal.com]

[Amused smile]

I know you better then that.

Very well. I shall meet you there.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

I will arrive as quickly as my legs can take me and wait as patiently as always.

[[With that he hung up the phone, ditching his sister to head out at a brisk jog.]]

[someday-a-queen.livejournal.com]

[She hangs up, shaking her head with a small laugh. And it's not long before she to is gone to meet him.]

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[He's hanging around with both hands behind his back. Rocking on his heals when he sees her approach.

Taking a moment as the memories rushed through him before speaking.]]

I feared for a moment that the sight of your had struck me silly, I could think of nothing else to say beyond you are the most beautiful girl I have ever known.

In this life or the past.

[someday-a-queen.livejournal.com]

[And she smiles when she see's him. Her calm mask breaking for once.]

I thought I should never see you again.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[Seeing her smile, he put one hand to his chest.]]

Be still my heart.

Fate nor time could keep us apart.

[someday-a-queen.livejournal.com]

[And she laughs.]

No, it seems not.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

I must admit I've come here a bit unprepared. I was so rushed to see you.

Though, I do hope this will suffice.

[[His other hand comes from around his back and he offers her the flower he got on the way over. A simple red rose.]]

[someday-a-queen.livejournal.com]

[She takes it with a warm smile. Smelling it briefly.]

It is lovely.

And of course it does. Any gift from you is one I will treasure forever.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

If I could, I would shower you with all the gifts you deserve for all the time we have lost.

[[For her it might be only a short bit, but for him it was a lifetime.

Steps up and offers his arm.]]

May I have the honor?

[someday-a-queen.livejournal.com]

[Still smiling she takes his arm.]

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[He leads her on a walk.]]

You know, I was a little afraid you would reject me for not being... quite myself.

You though, you have stayed the same. I guess they couldn't hope to change perfection?

[someday-a-queen.livejournal.com]

[She shakes her head.]

As though I could be that cruel.

Hardly perfection. I'm much too stubborn to be changed in such a way.
