"Miele!" Her mother cried, wrapping her arms around her youngest daughter. Her dark green eyes moisten with tears. "Don't you dare do that ever again!"

"What were you thinking going into the woods on your own?" Her father scolded, the relief hitting him hard causing him to collapse on a nearby chair.

The small girl sniffled in her mother's embrace, feeling terrible for causing her family this much trouble. "I-I'm sorry," She sobbed. "I wanted to see Flora train…so I thought I could find her on my own."

"You should have told me, Miele." Flora said sadly, knowing she was responsible for this incident. She kneeled down on her knees and held her arms out as Miele ran to her. "I'm sorry, this is all my fault."

"Huh?"

"I've been ignoring you haven't I?" The tan girl asked, patting her sister's light orange hair. "Please forgive me for putting my studies before you, my little Rose." She held onto Miele as she cried saying it wasn't her fault. "I'll make it up to you, okay? Now go jump into the bath and get ready for bed."

"Can you tuck me in?"

"Of course." Flora smiled. She wiped away Miele's tears before ushering her towards her room. "I'll be right there."

"Be sure to thank your friends for us, Flora." Her mother said.

"I will when I see them again tomorrow." Flora nodded before heading towards Miele's room.

"Flora!" A freshly bathed Miele cried excitedly, jumping on her bed. "Why didn't you tell me about Ribbit!?"

"Shh!" Flora hushed, placing a finger to her lips while putting her other hand on Miele's mouth. "Now before I let go- promise me you are going to quiet down, okay?" She smiled as Miele nodded her head vigorously.

"Okay," Flora cautiously removed her hand and was relieved when Miele quieted down. "Mother and father doesn't know about Ribbit and we have to keep it that way." She said sternly, raising the bed covers over her little sister hoping she will fall asleep soon.

Miele's eyebrows furrowed together in confusion, "What? Why?" She whispered so quietly, as if her parents were just outside the door.

The nature fairy grinned, lowering her voice as well. "Because!" She whispered teasingly, making Miele giggle. "You know that talking to a human who's cursed is forbidden in the Magix dimension. Mother and father will forbid us to ever step foot in the forest again if they knew about Ribbit." She said calmly even though she was panicking inside, not knowing what she would do if she couldn't see her best friend again.

"But why?" Miele frowned, not understanding the rule, especially after meeting Ribbit. He has become an important person to her after he kept her safe in forest. She smiled lightly when remembering how he talked about her older sister. "He loves you, you know?" She said dazedly, making Flora blush gasp with a bright blush.

"H-huuh?" Emerald eyes going wide, Flora caught herself as she nearly jumped off Miele's bed.

"All he talked about was you, Flora." Miele said gently, closing her eyes as the downiness finally hitting her. "He sounded like a man, well frog," She sleepily giggled, "in love."

Flora silently watched as Miele finally fell asleep. Letting out a pent up sigh, she gave Miele a goodnight kiss on her forehead before heading to her room. Once in her room she flopped on her bed and sighed into her pillow.

Turning around she stared up at her bedroom's ceiling, surprised at her rapidly beating heart. Why was she so happy? The happiness and excitement that burst in her when Miele told her about Ribbit's feelings really surprised her. But did Ribbit really love her?

Did she love him?

Haggard breathing woke him up.

It took him a while to realize it was his own haggard breathing that woke him up. If he could move his face he would have smiled.

The sunlight shone too brightly, he could see the red shine through his eyelids, making it too soon to open his eyes. Testing his body, he stretched his fingers and felt the cold, moss-covered rocks beneath them. He was delighted when he felt the rocks behind his human arms, back, and head.

Eyes still closed, he touched his stomach, chest, neck, fingering over his jaw, ear, his eyes, nose, finally resting on his smile. When he tried turning his head to the side, he felt his hair tug sharply. It was a lot longer then he remembered.

Wow, he remembers…everything.

He mentally stopped himself from going any further, He couldn't properly function his own body yet, better to focus on that right now. Better to focus on the recent memories then go backwards.

First thing that came to mind was her. Vibrant emerald eyes with perfect pink lips framed with a heart shaped face. This past month's memories were filled with her. Her smile, her laughter, her kindness filled his heart. He loved her. Since he was now laying in his human body once again, Flora loves him too. 'My Flora,' He thought lovingly. He groaned as his head pounded as memories flashed by. His heart dropped to his stomach when realization hit him. The universe had a cruel sense of humor making the girl he loves utterly despised him.

Flora's aunt was married to his father before she was mysteriously murdered.
