[PRIVATE: DGFone & Thewhistlerify]

Umeme looked down at the ground, her face heating up with embarrassment. "Yeah," she said, smiling. "That's what happened. It was slow at first, but once we got over our embarrassment, it was wonderful." She looked up at Lina, smiling. "Muroki's a great guy."

She then saw how Lina looked. "What about you? You look like the same thing happened with you and Delano." She wasn't sure, but it certainly looked like it.

Delano grinned and nodded slightly in acknowledgment. "Yeah, that's the thing though," he said, "When I was with her, it was great. But at the same time, almost the entire time, I felt like I didn't know what I was doing. You on the other hand look certain enough. How do you do that?" He asked. "How did you keep your cool?"

[TheWhistlerify]

Lina smiled upon hearing that her sister had a good time, before the smile was suddenly replaced with an embarrassed expression. "What? No..." it was that obvious was it? "Yes, yes it did." she said, still a little embarrassed but with a slight smile. "It was so romantic... We found this beautiful spot by accident," she remembered Delano didn't mind if they told Umeme or Muroki about their spot, "It was just perfect."

Muroki listened to his brother, trying to think how exactly he should answer that. "I guess because I really like her. The only reason I ever was nervous was because I didn't know how she would react to me when she found that out. When I found out she liked me too, the worries just went away." he didn't know whether he was explaining it correctly, but that's the best explanation he could come up with.

[DGFone]

Umeme smiled. "Really? What was the place like?" She asked. Lina rarely called places 'beautiful', so for her to do that, it had to be something special. "Was is a beautiful place, or was it simply because you were there with Delano?" She smiled again. "Because that's how the savanna felt for me. With Muroki, every place is beautiful."

Delano didn't exactly get his brother. "Oh. Well, I guess I can try again tomorrow, huh?" He asked. "And today did not go bad, at either case. So whatever I was doing, it worked, right?" Delano then decided that he wanted to change the subject. "So where did you run off with Umeme? I didn't follow you guys."

[TheWhistlerify]

Lina smiled, "Well, also because of Delano being there... We got there by accident, it was before we confessed that we liked each other. Once we did, it became much more beautiful though." she decided to describe to Umeme how did the place look. "It was a small waterhole hidden between trees, the sun beams broke through the leaves in a really amazing way..."

Muroki chuckled, "I'm sure you'll be fine." it was kind of ironic that now Delano was the one asking him for advice. "We just ran off and sat down somewhere in the open savanna..." he couldn't help but add, "And I'm taking her to stargaze soon." he said with a smile, obviously excited.

[DGFone]

Umeme didn't even know that such a place existed in the area. "Really? How far is it?" She asked. Lina made that place sound really good, and Umeme hoped that Lina would take her and Muroki there tomorrow. "Is that why you came back late?" She asked.

Delano smiled and nodded. "I'll see tomorrow." He said. And when Muroki mentioned stargazing, Delano immediately thought of the times they did that with their parents. "You go ahead," he said, "I think she'll like it."

Muroki got up, but Delano stopped him again. "Oh, and Muroki, I was thinking, tomorrow morning, because we are stronger now, I was thinking that we should go for some early morning run," he said, "Just so that we won't go back to being weaker."

[TheWhistlerify]

Lina smiled, "Well, that, and because I kept Delano from going anywhere... It's not that far..." she chuckled, hoping that she and Delano would be able to go there again some time soon. Considering that she and Delano discovered their feelings for each other in that place, it would always be her most favorite spot in the world.

Muroki smiled and got up and was about to leave, "I know she'll like it." he looked around when Delano again stopped him from going anywhere, telling him that they should try to stay in shape. "You're right, we should do that." despite the trainer saying that the odds were low, who knew when the police might show up and force him and his brother to go with them. "Well, I'll see you before we go to sleep." with a smile, he slowly walked to where Umeme and her sister were talking.

[DGFone]

As much as Umeme wanted to see that place Lina was talking about, she knew that she would have to wait for the next morning. "So will we get to see it tomorrow?" She asked, just to be certain. Umeme heard someone approach behind her, and turned to see who it was. It was Muroki.

"Hey," Umeme greeted, glad that he was back. Hopefully now they will be able to stargaze together.

Delano nodded as Muroki walked off. "See you soon," he said, waiting behind. As much as he liked Lina, he was grateful for this short moment where he can be alone.

[TheWhistlerify]

Lina nodded, "Of course, I'll take you there tomorrow." she smiled when she noticed Muroki coming over.

Muroki smiled and sat down in front of the two, "Hey." he said, greeting them both and looking at Umeme. "We can go now if you're ready." the moon was already showing up in the sky, so the stars should start appearing any minute now. But if there was anything Umeme still wanted to do like finishing her conversation with Lina, he could wait until she was done.

[DGFone]

"Thanks," Umeme smiled, grateful. She then turned to Muroki. "Yeah, I'm ready. Let's go!" She got up and walked over to Muroki, nearly forgetting about Lina. "Uh, Muroki's going to take me stargazing." She explained, hoping that Lina would understand.

[TheWhistlerify]

Lina chuckled as Umeme was so off in her own world that she nearly forgot about her, "It's cool, go have fun." she smiled as the couple walked off before getting up and heading into the den, wanting to just lie down and let her mind think about today's events.

Muroki smiled as he and Umeme walked off to be on their own. He noticed a hill in the direction they were going and pointed at it, "This is a good spot." It's been a while since his parents died and therefor a while since he had gone stargazing. He was so shocked by their sudden death that he avoided doing anything he used to do with them, and that included looking at the stars. Now that he had moved on from the tragedy, he was more than happy to go gazing at the stars again, especially with Umeme.
