Louise paced back andforth nervously, she was going to tell Narto how she felt today. She didn't know if he felt the same, if he wanted to spend every second just staring at her, if he wanted to just hug her and never ever let go . . . but, she had to tell him, because she had carried this secret for too long.

He walked into the RC holding his bow. "Oh! Narto!" She said nervously. "Would you like to sit down?"

'Hello. What's up?"

"I.......have something to tell you." She told him timidly.

"Sure Louise. You can tell me anything."

\Louise smiled at him, she loved him so much, he was so kind and funny and cute. "Yes, but this might make you hate me."

A sad look flashed in his eyes. "Nothing could ever make me hate you Lou! Don't say that." He hugged her and she almost started crying when she thought that he might hate her after she told him what she was going to tell him.

"Iloveyou" she said very fast, and she blushed and looked down.

Narto looked stunned. "What....what did you say??!"

"I love you" she said slower, "and if you don't want to work with me I understand." A single tear escaped and ran down her cheek. Narto just stared at her. So Louise knew he must not feel the same. She sobbed gently and ran out of the room.

-------------------------

Narto searced frantically for Louise. "I have to tell her…" he sadi to himself. "Why did I let her run out like that? Oh Louise......"

But he couldn't find her anywhere. He looked for hours, but he couldn't find her. He started crying as he ran through HQ looking for the girl he loved, but she wsan't anywhere he looked.

"Louise..." he whispered sadly. "I love you too...." And he laid his head down on the cafeteria table and sobbed.

"R-really??!" said a voice behind him. Narto jumped, then smiled joyfully. He knew that voice.

"Since I met you! You were so beautiful and kind, how could I not love you?"

Louise smiled back at him. "I thought you hated me..."

"no, I love you so much....." He looked at her, and she threw herself into his arms. He hugged her very tight and then he kissed her passionately. She kissed him back for a long time, then finally they broke apart.

"Louise Patience Murphay will you marry me?" (a/n I didn't know her other names so I just made them up, I thought they fit her) Narto was nervous but he loved her and she loved him and he wanted to stay with her forever.

Louise smiled and a single tear slipped down her cheek. "Oh, dearest . . . of course! Of course!"

Narto laughed with pure joy and picked her up and swung her around. "I love you! I love you! I love you!"
