Read Would You Come Over :: Would You Wish Upon A Star And Would It Come To Hug?

It is a good thing. The man is a cynic.

It is a bad thing. Even if he is truly a sorcerer, he has healed a bunch of people.

We needed him.

We needed the hope of a good man.

We do not need a fake.

He is a sorcerer.

He is not.

He is a cynic.

He is the devil.

Not in actuality, but yes.

"What do you think?" Darren texted Vanessa. "About the sorcerer, I mean."

"Deep stuff. Deep deep stuff."

"Deep"

"What is politics to you?"

"You think this is a political stunt." Darren texted back.

"He is a foreigner yet he has so much influence. Someone has to be waging war on something or something."

"I think politics is how the world saves." Darren texted. "I think politics is how the world survives."

"That is very interesting. And deep. I think you have a point."

But who are they saving?

"Hello, kids" Stella texted them both two individual messages.

"Hi, Stella" Darren replied.

"Hey, Stella" Vanessa responded.

"I want you guys to come with me to the place where you both met and after that we will go to the sorcerer-pastor-who knows' crime scene. I want you guys to use it as a growing opportunity. It will be fun."

"I will tell Darren"

"Already told him"

"What were you thinking?" Stella asked the two people standing in front of her: Darren and Vanessa.

"That is a mystery I guess we will never know." Darren put his hand around Vanessa.

Stella smiled. "I guess we will never know. Make a wish again."

Stella dropped a coin in both of their hands. "One of you go over there. One of you stay here."

Darren went over there.

"Okay. Make a wish."

They both made a wish.

They both made the same.

"Is this where the bodies are buried?" Darren joked as they entered the room where the pastor had died.

Vanessa smiled. And so did Stella.

The seats are in a mess. The only thing that looked normal was the podium.

Vanessa squinted at something in the distance and moves closer to it.

"Is that slime?"

Both Darren and Stella walk closer.

"It has to mean something"

Darren and Vanessa made eye contact.

They both scream in unison. "This is a chance for an adventure!"

Stella smiled at Darren. "Settle down, kids. He got shot. It could be dangerous. I just want you guys to think about what happened that day."

"We are thinking about what happened." Vanessa remarked.

"Yeah, and we need to make sure that the details of the day are shown very well."

Kablam!

Vanessa held Darren close.

"Hide." Stella whisper-shouted.

They all quietly ran inside a break room.

"Shh" Stella whispered, even though we did not need to be told.

The man with a pointed nose walked into the room. Still, one could not see his features.

He was on the phone.

"The plan is working." The man spoke into the phone, looking around the room. "When we have enough slime, we will be able to complete the mission, and if it does not work, then to hell with the world." He leaves the room.

Darren and Vanessa came out of the break room with Stella.

Stella turns around to look at them. "Are you okay?"

Vanessa was trying so hard to stop shivering. "I am okay" But she felt as though she was placed in the North Pole. "It was fun, just scary."

"I am so sorry, Vanessa" This time, it is Darren speaking. "Are you okay?"

"I am okay"

"Are you sure?"

"I am shaken up, but it was hella fun."

"I agree" Darren smiles at her.

Stella could see the look in his eye. "I am so sorry" She tells them. "I wish you two the best of luck."

And that was that.

The next night, Stella had gone off the grid but Darren and Vanessa had a date with the stars.

They laid a scenery on top of a cliff.

They laid down on the blanket and looked up at the stars.

"So you are telling me you would drift your way to where I am even with the cops chasing you, but you would not step on a snake for me? Like a venomous snake." Vanessa joked.

"You are hearing it right. I would never want to be the reason why someone gets hurt, or even an animal. I know, I know. Lame"

"No, it is not lame"

"Thank you"

"I would hop on a cow and race my way to you if something ever happened. Not that it would, but if it did, I would." Vanessa replied.

"Okay, so I am drifting, right? And I just see a cow, and I know--I just know that one day Vanessa would be like riding a cow just to see me. It has to be in Scotland or it is not funny."

"It has to be." Vanessa smiled.

"Seriously, I would do anything for you."

"Just be there" Vanessa told Darren. "Just be there."

"Where?" Darren replied.

"There." Vanessa placed her hand on her stomach.

"If the world was ending, I would meet you at the hotel. I know that is important to you."

"We would not need to tell each other. We would just be there. We would just be." Vanessa spoke softly. "I am in it for the long haul"

"I am in it for eternity"

"I love you, Darren."

"Finally..." Darren almost whispered.

"I am sorry I did not say it on time" She responds, wanting to whisper it but knowing the relationship called for more.

"I am sorry"
