Lake

[Dexter, like a bau5]

A large lake is surrounded by bright white and pink cherry trees On the Northern side, lush green hills are lined with clover and forget-me-nots. On the Southern side, Pueblo's Grill looks out on the lake. The Western side leads to the town, and the Eastern side is where the miles of jogging tracks line the cherry trees.

Beau led Olive through the lanes of cherry trees.

[Jessica, Top Mod :) POLSKA~ xD]

Olive looked up and watched the cherry blossoms fall off their branches dancing in the air as the wind blew them.

"I've always wondered where they came from, these trees..." Beau said quietly. The air was cold, spring was far off.

[Jessica, Top Mod :) POLSKA~ xD]

"Yes.. they really are beautiful." She smiled watching them, noticing the wind was quite cold.

Beau put his leather jacket around her shoulders. "Japan" He said finally.

[Jessica, Top Mod :) POLSKA~ xD]

"Yea, I wonder how they got here though. Did the Japanese bring it here." Olive wondered out loud then thanked him when he put his jacket around her shoulders.

"After the Second World War. As a peace-keeping offering" Beau smiled, they were making their way towards the hills. "C'mon, I want to show you something" He smiled.

[Jessica, Top Mod :) POLSKA~ xD]

Olive listened interested. She followed him, "Where are we going?"

[Dexter, like a bau5]

"You'll see" He smiled, leading her through a small gully, a stream gurgled somewhere close by.

[Jessica, Top Mod :) POLSKA~ xD]

Olive smiled and followed, somewhere in the distance she heard water.

[Dexter, like a bau5]

A forest revealed itself, surrounded by bluebells and a slight mist, Beau led her to the stream, and to a cross.

[Jessica, Top Mod :) POLSKA~ xD]

"Wow, its beautiful." Olive looked around turning on the spot. "But why did you show me this?"

[Dexter, like a bau5]

"It's a memorial. For my parents" He smiled sadly.

[Jessica, Top Mod :) POLSKA~ xD]

"Oh wow.. it's really beautiful." She said quietly, "How long have they been gone?"

[Dexter, like a bau5]

"16 years today" He said, looking at her. "But I'm probably boring you to death?"

[Jessica, Top Mod :) POLSKA~ xD]

"No, of course not." Olive went over and put an arm around Beau. His parents had died on his birthday. How awful.

[Dexter, like a bau5]

"Really? Because we could go catch a movie or something?" He smiled.

[Jessica, Top Mod :) POLSKA~ xD]

Olive shrugged, "I really do not mind. What do you want to do?"

[Dexter, like a bau5]

"Whatever. C'mon, anything. Anything whatsoever?!"

[Jessica, Top Mod :) POLSKA~ xD]

Olive grinned cheekily and pushed him to the ground, kissing him.

[Dexter, like a bau5]

Beau kissed her back, holding her to him, laying there in the soft grass. As they finally pulled away, he was speechless once more. "That.. Was..."

[Jessica, Top Mod :) POLSKA~ xD]

Olive looked at his suprised face and his speechlessness and burst out laughing. She fell onto her back laughing.

[Dexter, like a bau5]

Beau smiled, nuzzling her neck.

[Jessica, Top Mod :) POLSKA~ xD]

Olive's heart skipped a beat but she quickly ignored it, but up at the sky, the cherry blossoms falling onto them.

(( Shall we skip a few weeks soon or something? ))

[Dexter, like a bau5]

((Yes please!))

[Jessica, Top Mod :) POLSKA~ xD]

(( ahaha okki.. whats happened in the next say.. month? ))

[Dexter, like a bau5]

((Beau and Olive grew apart. Then she turns up at his house with a bump? :O))

[Jessica, Top Mod :) POLSKA~ xD]

(( yea, they can grow apart. How about Olive vomits a lot and eats a lot, and she hadn't gotten her monthlies and decides to get a pregnancy test and then she finds out, blah blah. ))

[Dexter, like a bau5]

((Yeah!))

[Jessica, Top Mod :) POLSKA~ xD]

[Dexter, like a bau5]

((The 1x1?))

[Jessica, Top Mod :) POLSKA~ xD]

Ichi sprints as fast as he can attempting to catch up with his friend. "Beau you idiot!" he growls , sometimes the other man acted like a child.

[Dexter, like a bau5]

Beau was sitting by his parent's cross. Far ahead, tears running down his face.

[[deleted user]]

Speeding up he spots Beau and is beside him within moments. Panting he looks down at his friend. He's shocked looking at the tears. "Hey! What's wrong?"

[Dexter, like a bau5]

Beau nodded towards his parent's cross. "You know" He mumbled.

[[deleted user]]

(SORRY! COMP WASN'T WORKING!))
He looks over and spots the cross. Gritting his teeth he drops to the ground next to his friend. Slipping an arm around the other's shoulders he pulls him into a hug.

[Dexter, like a bau5]

Beau sobs a little. "It's been 15 years. Fifteen!" He screamed, shaking with anger.

[[deleted user]]

Both arms now slip around Beau's shoulders, squeezing him tightly. Not saying anything, just being there for silent support.

[Dexter, like a bau5]

After a while, the babble of the brook took over Beau's sobbing. "I..." He stared, but didn't know how to continue.

((Private Peaceful: Finished it. Hanley charged Charlie with insubordination. Had him killed. Tommo survives, and takes care of Molly, Little Tommo (As Charlie and Molly named him). MADE ME CRY))

[[deleted user]]

((Mum's reading it now! And she's absolutely loving it! That sounds really saddd))
Running a hand through his friend's hair he makes calming noises, attempting words, but nothing came out but a soft, incomprehensible mumble.

[Dexter, like a bau5]

Beau looked up at him. "Ichigo, please. Please do me a favour?"

[[deleted user]]

The carrot top looks at him solemnly, nodding. "Anything."

[Dexter, like a bau5]

"I'm enlisting. If anything happens, take care of Olive. And our baby" He asked, for the first time opening up to someone.

[[deleted user]]

For a moment he just sits, staring, shock almost sending him bowling over backwards. His heart hammers in his chest, "You're..............." His mouth work's like a fish's before hugging him even tighter. "Of course." The thought of losing his friend forever sent stabs of fear through him. "When?"

[Dexter, like a bau5]

"Next month. Training at Ft. Wayne" He said quietly. He hugged Ichigo back, here, in the forest, he felt closer to his friend than anywhere else.

[[deleted user]]

Ichi wished he could scream and yell at Beau to not go, that he could stop his friend from putting himself in danger. But he couldn't, Beau obviously wanted this, and he just couldn't deny him that. Nuzzling his head into the taller man's shoulder he closes his eyes. "Thanks for telling me."

[Dexter, like a bau5]

"You're lying to me. You want to tell me something. I can feel it" Beau said, looking him in the eye.

[[deleted user]]

"Of course..." Ichigo smiles grimly. "But I think you'd probably be able to guess what..."

[Dexter, like a bau5]

"I want to here it from you" Beau insisted.

((Where were you today? You coming tomorrow?))
