Christopher turned a cornor and walked to Celest's door. He knocked on it and waited.

A young purple headed girl answered the door and looked up at Christopher. "Yeah?" she asked in a valley accent.  "What do ya want?"

Christopher slightly bowed. "Uh..Is Celest in?" he asked.

The young girl blinked.  "Oh..you must be her new boyfriend.  Sorry, but she was called to go take care of something down in the kitchen.  If you want I can tell her you stopped by." she said.  "Or, you can wait here, with me."

Christopher blinked. "Let her know that I stopped by please," he said and bowed again. As he walked away he turned a corner and headed to the kitchen.  As he neared the kitchen, Christopher stopped in the door and looked around for Celest.

Celest hummed a happy sort of tune while she was rolling out some dough. Her face was covered in flour, but she still had a smile on her face.  One of the girls came up to her.  "Celest, the last batch is done.  Why don't you go ahead and take off. I can finish up this batch. All I have to do is put them in the oven, right?" she asked.  Celest nodded.  "Yes, but only for 30 minutes, or they'll get too hard." she said with a smile as she was shoed out of the kitchen.  She looked up to see Christopher.  "Oh hi." she said to him.

Christopher smiled to Celest as she walked out of the kitchen. He then chuckled a bit and smiled again. "Hello Celest," he said and placed a hand to her face and started to brush off the flour. "You got flour on your face," he said and smiled. "Celest. I wanted to ask you if you were doing anything now," he asked.

Celest brushed her hand across her face and giggled.  "Yeah..that normally happens when i do the bakeing." she said.  "I'm not doing anything right now..though I had hoped for a shower to wash all this flour off...I guess it can wait if it means spending time with you." she said and smiled.

Christopher smiled. "I want to take you somewhere," he said and smiled to her. "And I think you can get that shower in as well," he said with a smile.

Celest looked at him with a light reddish hue on her face.  "Christopher what are you suggesting?" she asked in a soft voice.

"Don't worry," he said with a smile and wrapped an arm around her lead her to a door and opened it. He then closed it behind him and then he teleported. When they reappeared. Christopher and Celest were on the bank of a large lake with a small island and a 350 foot water in the back ground.  They were surround by a forest. The moon hung over the water fall.

Celest looked around.  "Oh Christopher..its...its beautiful.  where are we?' she asked breathlessly.

"We are in a place in Europe," he said softly. "Where techinolgy has never seen. I found this place so long ago and masked it's location with magic. The water here can only be found here. It has healing power and is great to relax in," he said. He then smiled to her. "If you likw to take a bath," he said and went into his cloak and pulled out a package. "It's a new dress and robe I thought you may like," he said and smiled.

Celest was so in awe about the place.  She turned and looked at Christopher.  "You didn't have to do this" she said and then leaned up and kissed him on the cheek, blushing ever so slightly.  "But I'm glad you did..thank you so much..its beautiful here."

Christopher kissed her back. "I thought you would like it here," he said. "I have been wanting to take bring you here for so long and now you are here," he said and handed her the robe. "Here. I know you worked all day so I want you to relax in the water," he said. "Plus there is a hot spring that is at the bottom of the lake. So the water is warm all year long," he explained.

Celest excepted the robe.  "Thank you.  I don't mind the work really.  All the other girls are really nice and their fun to work with." she said and went into the trees and changed into the robe.

Christopher smiled to Celest as she came out with the robe on. He breathed a sigh of relief. "Good, it fits you like a glove. I was worried I didn't get the right size," he said. He then looked over to the water and noticed how calm it was. "I am going to let you take your bathnow," he said and looked back to Celest. "That island over there as some jars of soap if you need any. And of course some shampoo," he said with a smile. "And if you neeed anything I will be over by the waterfall," he said and smiled to her again. He then ran and dove into the water and headed to the waterfall.

Celest looked a the water adn tested it with her foot.  She then slowly slipped into the water.  "It does feel nice." she breathed and relaxed in the water before making her way over to the island.

Christopher was climbing up the wall of the waterwall. Hehad made cuts in the wall so he could climb to the cave that was behind the waterfall. He finally made it and went into the dar cave. Walking in the large room, he lite a match and started a fire. The glow of the fire covered the room. The room was deorcated with things that Christopher collected when he roamed Earth. He then went back to the waterfall and jumped down a boulder and laid back on it and relaxed.

Celest finished bathing and didn't want ot leave the water.  She reluctantly climbed out and put the robe back on and looked around.  *Where did he go off to?* she wondered.

Christopher stirred in his sleep and found himself falling from the top of the falls in his dream. Suddenly he fell into the water and woke up and looked around. He found himself in the water. Christopher looked around and found Celest was finished. He then swam over and climbed out of the water. He was dripping wet and walked over to her and smiled. "So how was it?" he asked with a smile.

Celest smiled at him.  "The water was so wonderful.  Thank you I feel so much better." she said.

Christopher embraced Celest in a hug. "I am glad you enjoyed it," he said and smiled. "Now I want to show you something else," he said and they appeared in the cave. "Whatr do you think?" he asked.

Celest looked around the cave.  "Christopher..." she breathed and looked at a small chinese doll.  "This is dated back, right after the milliennium." she said softly.

"That is right," he said softly. "Most of the items you see here in this cave are dated back right after the milliennium. You can say I have the oldest musem in the world," he said with a soft chuckle. "If you like the doll you can keep her," he said.

Celest looked back at Christopher.  "Oh no.." she said.  "If you have kept it all this time it must be very important to you, I would never take something as precious as that." she said.

Christopher slowly nodded. "No it's ok. I mean I have some others around here somewhere," he said softly and walked up to Celest and wrapped his arms around her. "Plus it is a dream doll. If you take this doll to bed it will make all your dreams come true," he said softly. "And I think my dream finally came true. Because you are here now," said Christopher softly.

Celest blushed slitly and looked up at Christopher.  "And my dreams came true teh day I saw that you were alive and save. That's all I ever wanted was for you to be happy and well." she said and hugged him.

"I am happy now that you are here with me again," he said and hugged her back. "Here, I have something to show you," said Christopher and opened a steel door that was in the back of the cave. They went in and a crystal in the middle of the room started to glow. "Look," he said and pointed to the wall where paintings lined it. Under each painting was a date. The first picture had a date of 1098 and the last painting had a 1645.

Celest smiled as she looked around the room.  "Wow, you've been busy the past few hundred years." she said and giggled.  "what's this?" she asked looking at a canvas that was covered with a cloth.

Christopher looked at the painting that Celest was looking at. "Go ahead, uncover it. You maybe surprised at what you find," he said and watched.

Celest went over slowly and pulled off the sheet.  "Christopher..where...how.." she asked.

Christopher walked over to Celest and looked at the painting. The painting was of the towo of them. In a garden surround by roses, both of them where in each others arms and they where looking at each other in a loving gaze. "A painter in Italy painted this. When he finished and showed it to me I went pale. Then I figured it out. He could see into the future," explained Christopher. "So I guess he saw me in the future with you," he said and wrapped a arm around Celest. "Do you like it?"

Celest was speechless.  "Its beautiful." she said. "But..why keep it covered?" she asked.

Christopher looked at the painting then back at Celest. "When he gave me that painting, I had the feeling we would be together again. So I covered it up for a surprise so when I would bring you here," he explained.

Celest looked up at Christopher and smiled.  "Its beautiful." she whispered to him and kissed him on the cheek.

Christopher smiled and blushed a bit. "I am glad you like it," he said softly. He and Celest then waled out of the room and the room and the door closed and the light went off. He looked at Celest and placed a hand to her cheek. "Here is the dress," he said and handed her the dress. "I was wondering. Are you hungry?" he asked.

Celest thought for a moment and then nodded.  "Yeah, surprisingly.  I didn't even notice until you said something." she said and smiled.

Christoper smiled. "There is a place I think you will like," he said and smiled. Christopher wrapped an arm around Celest's waist and they disappeared.

Soon they reappeared.

Christopher looked around and smiled. They were standing on a hill that over looked a forest and mountains. Behind them was the resruant. "Do you like the view?" asked.

Celest leaned in closer to Christopher and wrapped her arms around him, holding him extremly tight.  "I wish you would warn me a bit before you do that...it somewhat scares me." she whispered, she was trembling a bit.

Christopher could feel her tremble. He nearly wanted to cry. "I am sorry my love," he said soflty. "I did not mean to scare you like that," he said and wrapped his arms around her. "Next time I will give a fair warning next time," he said softly.

Celest relaxed in his arms.  "Its alright love..I'm sorry if I upset you." she said softly.

"You didn't upset me," said Christopher softly as he ran a hand through her soft hair. "I could never be upset with you," he said softly and kissed her lightly.

Celest smiled up at him and leaned in to be closer to him.  She sighed softly in his arms, enjoying the moment.  "So where are we?" she asked.

"We are in the north part of Germany," he said softly. "A place I found breath taking," he said. "The restruant is right behind us," he said.

Celest looked up at Christopher, almost astonished.  "Oh." she said and blinked a few times.

Christopher looked at the resturant. "They are the type of restruant that couples come to because it is in a location where they can relax and enjoy the day together," he explained. "Shall we?" he asked.

Celest smiled up at Christopher.  "Sure" she said and took his arm and walked quietly with him towards the resturant.

Celest and Christopher went into the resturant and got a table by the window that over looked the valley. Christopher looked at the menu. "I hope I remember how to read German," he said and smiled to Celest.

Celest giggled a bit.  "Good then maybe you can translate this for me." she said.

Christopher chuckled. "I will do my best," said Christopher and he talked to the waiter in what seemed to be prefect German. "I hope you don't mind if I ordered for you? I get this all the time when I am here."

Celest nodded.  "That's fine by me." she said and smiled gently to him.  "So..what exactly are you ordering." she said in a somewhat worried voice.

Christopher looked at Celest. "Well we are starting off with an appitizer, fruit salad with plenty of kawaii," he said with a wink. "Then is the main meal of a small turkey with sides and then dessert if you like," he said smiling.

Celest smiled.  "Oh that sounds wonderful" she said enthesasticly.  "I can't wait to try it." she said.

Christopher and took Celest's hand into his. "When I first came here it was around the early 1900's," he said. "That was a time I will remember," he explained. Suddenly he was back to present. "So what were all the cookies for that you were baking?" he asked.

Celest smiled.  "They are for a mission on the other side of town.  Once a week we girls get together and get to take over the kitchen.  one of the girls got sick so i said I would fill in for her.  Its lots of fun."s he said and smiled

"A mission huh?" said Christopher and took out a leather book and wrote something. "Here, next time you go there give them this," said Christopher and tore a piece of paper out of it. Written on it was a large sum of money. "I think that will help them," he said and smiled.

Celest nodded adn put it in her pocket.  "The kids are really sweet, but we all have to take turns going there." she said with a giggle.  "Maybe you should come with me next time.  I  am sure they would love to hear some of your stories." she said with shining eyes.

Christopher smiled. "I would love to come along," he said and squeezed her hand gently. "I think I can think one or two stories to tell," he said with a chuckle. "I mean how long I have lived I have enough stories to fill the library at the palace," he said with a laugh.

Celest giggled at his remark.  "I'm sure they would love it." she remarked as the waiter put down the fruit plate.  "Oh its lovely." she commented at the arrangement of the fruits.

Christopher smiled. "I knew you would like it," he said and looked at the plate in front of him. "Oh good. They remembered to put peachs on on it to," said Christopher as he picked up a peach slice and smelled it.

Celest giggled a bit and picked up one of the slices of Kawaii and slowly bit into it.  She then looked out the window to the sun setting and the river below.  "Its so peaceful here." she commented.

Christopher nodded as he ate the peach. "Yes it is so peaceful here," he said and looked out the same window. "How about after dinner we go for a walk?" he asked.

Celest nodded.  "Oh I bet the countryside here is so lovely at sunset.  That would be great." she said and smiled at him as she took another piece of Kawaii.

Christopher smiled to Celest as he took some Kawaii and feed it to her after she finished the other one and smiled.

Celest giggled for a few moments and then blushed as the waiter cleared his throat behind the couple and removed the empty plate.  He placed the main corse in front of him, said something in gereman and left.  Celest smiled.  "It looks great." she said. to him.

Christopher nodded to the waiter and then looked at his meal. "This does look good," he said and took some turkey into his plate.

Celest smiled as she took a small piece and gazed at the sun.  "Wow...I never knew the country side was so pretty.  Its so differnet from Tokyo." she said.

Christopher nodded in agreement. "Many countries haven't changed like Tokyo has. Germany, France, Italy, Ireland, New Zeland, Scotland, all have still the smae landscape," he explained and gave her a smile.

"It must be great...going where you want to when you want to." she commented to him softly as she watched the sun.

Christopher took Celest's hand into his own. "Celest. I can take you to those places if you like. Right now if you want," he said and gave her a smile.

Celest smiled kindly.  "I know this Christopher.  But I'm more interested in spending time with you.  There will be plently of chances to see the world." she said softly to him

Christopher took Celest's hand and kissed it gently. "And I want to spend my time with you," he said softly.

Celest smiled at Christopher.  "I'm glad." she said and blushed slightly as he kissed her hand.

Christopher smiled back to Celest then ate some more of his food and then looked out the window and sighed. "Everything is prefect," he said softly.

Celest nodded slowly.  "Yes it is." she agreed and smiled.

Christopher finished his food. Looking at Celest he took her by the hand and got up. "Care to dance?" he asked as softly as music started to play in the background.

Celest was caught a bit off guard, but then nodded slowly and smiled up at him.  "I would love to." she said.

Chris lead her over to the dance floor and plaved a hand on her side and and took her hand and smiled to her. "When was the last time we danced?" he asked softly.

Celest blinked, thinking hard.  "I don't remember." she replied.

"It doesn't matter," he said softly. "We are dancing now and in each others presance," he said softly.

"No..nothing else matters." she whispered softly and rested her head against his chest as they moved.

Christopher slowly locked his fingers with Celest's hand as they moved slowly around the floor. He then realized that the other people were watching them as they danced. "I love you Celest," he said softly.

"This feels like a dream.  A prefect dream that i never wish to awaken from," she said softly.

Christopher took his hand and titled Celest's head a bit so he could stare into her eyes. "This isn't a dream," he said softly and kissed her gently.

Celest closed her eyes as Chrisopher kissed her.  *Has there ever been a more perfect moment.* she thought to herself.

Slowly pulling back Christopher looked into Celest's eyes. He missed her so much and now they were both together again. In each others arms. Christopher smiled to Celest. "Would you like to go for a walk?" he asked her slowly.

Celest looked up and smiled brightly.  "That sounds wonderful." she said.

Christopher smiled back and took her by the hand. They two went outside and walked over to the hill that they arrived on and went towards a small like with ducks and other animals that drunk from the lake. Christopher held on to Celest close to him. "I am so happy you are here with me," he said softly.

Celest looked at the lake adn giggled.  "oh..they're so cute." she said quietly and leaned into Christopher, placing her head on his shoulder and sighing softly.  "There's no where I would rather be right now." she said and giggled again.

Christopher chuckled. "The only place I want to be right now is with you," he said softly and held her closer. Inhaling the sent of her shampo from her hair.

Celest giggled.  "We better return before we are missed." she said saddly.

Christopher continued to hold onto Celest. Not wanting to let her go. He loved being with her. "Celest? Would you like to return to the Moon?" he asked.

Celest looked up at Christopher..."I thought it was destoried?" she asked.

Christopher nodded. "It is but alot of it remains standing," he explained. "So do you want to go there?"

Celest slowly nodded.  "Alright." she replied and smiled taking his hand.

Christopher took her hand and smiled. "Get ready. I am going to teleport us," he said and a while glow surround the two. The next moment they were on the Moon. Christopher turned to Celest. "Are you ok?" he asked.

Celest nodded.  "Yes, I'm fine." she said and looked around.  Her eyes filled with tears as she saw the destoryed garden before her.

Christopher wrapped his arms around her waist. "I know it is painful to see this place like this. But I want to show you something," he said and took her by the hand. Leading her past the ruins of the palace and into the back, Christopher stopped at another garden and knelt down next to it. "When I was here on the Moon, before the others found me. I started growing roses again," he said and smiled to her. "This place is has hope," he said.

Celest nodded and buried her head in Christopher's cest, crying softly in it.

Christopher wrapped his arms around her and held onto her tightly. "Come my love," he said softly. "Let's go home," he said and the white light appeared again and they reappeared in the rose garden of the palace. "I'm sorry my love," he said softly.

Celest shook her head.  "No..it is I that should apologize.  I let my emotions over power me again." she said.

"Shhh. It's all right my love," he said softly. Running his fingers through her hair. "I know it is painful to go on the Moon and see the why it is now," he said softly. "Even I am sad at the state of it," he said softly and sadly. Kissing her softly on the lips.

Celest looked up at Christopher.  "All my memeroies started flooding back..all the happy time we would spend and..." she said and chocked on her words.  "will we ever get back the Moon Kingdom to its glory?" she asked sadly.

Christopher looked into her eyes. "Of course we will. The Moon Kingdom is where it all started and I know we can bring it back," he said softly.
