The Return of Memory Days

A Promise Made...

"Y-Yeah..?" he said with a bit of humor in his voice. If only I had a better aim, then I would throw a rock at him. And since my name did came from the word "lucky", it just so happens that a perfectly, small but heavy-looking rock was just a few inches from where I sat. I grabbed it and ignored the hushed warnings from behind me. I was about to throw it, until the little blonde girl stood up abruptly and turned to look at my lion spirit eye to eye. Oh well. I didn't really wanna hurt him anyway...

"Mr. Prince..." she said softly as she held his face with both hands.

Her stare was more focused than any other ten year old child's could ever be. For the first time, I didn't know what my own mind was thinking. I felt Loki tap into my thoughts. I did the same.

My dearest princess, what are you thinking? I mean, when you were ten years old... right now, Loki thought.

How should I know. You're the one changing the past. Use your imagination or whatever! I yelled in my thoughts, the annoyance layered in every word.

Hmmm... Okay. I'll be a writer then. See? We are meant to be, my Lucy..! The chuckles coming from the others made me realize that we weren't the only ones in our psychological conversation.

Well, what do you think, Loki?

I think... you wanna kiss me! I heard more muffled laughter, mostly from Scorpio and the twins.

I was really sure that my face was red, I could feel the heat creeping in my cheeks and it's not gonna disappear any time soon. I was angry..! Was I? Ughhh! I shot a glare at him -Little Lucy too focused on him to notice me- and Loki flashed a glance at me. He smirked playfully seeing my face.

You wish! My mind scream was so high that it made even made my flirt-of-a-spirit wince. Why on earth would you come to such a conclusion?!

He looked at me for a moment, stared at my ten year old self -who seemed like she was in a trance- for a bit, then directed his attention back to me. His thoughts seemed rather... smug. I lost this argument. So I just sank behind the bushes, pouting like a kid as I continued to watch through the leaves. The other Zodiac's chuckling didn't really help the blush fade away. The blonde girl suddenly turned her head towards the bush where we hid in, since she heard the rustling made by a certain cow.

"What were you going to tell me, princess?" he smiled and held her hands that were still on his face.

Her head turned to look at him again, "Oh... yeah. About that!" She grinned happily then leaned her face closer to Loki's for more effect before saying, "I know what I'm going to do now!"

"Oh, really?" Loki raised an eyebrow, curious of what she was about to say and also trying to make a point for me. Loki just closed his eyes with a smile on his face, thinking I am honored to be your first kiss, princess. I could just die right now...

"I'm gonna be a stellar spirit mage!"

Lucy's voice made me stop what I was about to think. A stellar spirit mage? Why am I surprised? Of course she's gonna be a mage like me. I guess I just forgot when I came to such a decision. I just remembered that after my mom's funeral, I woke up and realized I wanted to be like her. I forgot what happened.

Wait! Could it be that that certain forgotten memory was my first meeting with Loki? Was he the guy I was trying so hard to remember? And the ring... I reached for it, realizing that it wasn't attached to my belt anymore. Before we even got into this mess, I was trying to remember a guy who gave me a gift. Was that why Loki wanted the ring? So many thoughts in my mind, though the spirits just listened.
