Luchs was staring at the sky. The stars were beautiful that night. She didn't know
why, but they looked beautiful.

"Searching for patterns again, Luchs?" said Panta - who was chewing a straw.

The crickets in the forest were making their usual noises.

"No, i'm just wondering..."

"What?"

Luchs looked at Tiger, who was resting peacefully in her sleeping bag - looking
at Faust... her love.

"Look at her", said Luchs. "She really is in love with Lord Faust."
"Yeah, so?"
"What do you mean so? Can't you see it?"
"See what? I don't understand you."
"She is IN LOVE with him. Much more than you and I."
"Oh no, nobody can be more in love with him than I AM."
"Ummm... let me rephrase this. Imagine you never met Lord Faust. That you met
some other guy..."
"Your question's stupid. I met Lord Faust, period. That's it."
"No - imagine... how would your life be if you never had met him?"
"Well... let me think... If i hadn't met him, *sigh* I wouldn't be in love with
him.... oh how boring. What would I do?"
"Well, imagine you met someone else."
"Hmmm maybe if he's handsome, and HOT ooh yeah... i would..."
"See my point?"
"What point?"

Luchs sat up and looked at Panther in the eyes. "You don't get it, do you."
"Get what?"
"You actually IMAGINED a life without Lord Faust. I've asked myself that question
before. And yes, i have imagined it also. I'm not saying I don't love Him... I
really do. But..."
"But?"
"I asked Tiger the same question. She cried."
Panther was a bit confused by the answer. "I don't get it, why did she cry?"

Luchs pointed at Tiger with her face. "Look at her."
"And?"
"She REALLY is in love with him. She never answered my question. She said "no,
I CAN'T imagine a life without him. I just can't! He means EVERYTHING to me".
The blonde opened her eyes and gasped.

"Get it now Panta? We COULD live without Lord Faust. But she can't. She just can't.
A life without him... would crush her."
"I don't wanna talk about this. You're crazy!"
Panther spat the straw and walked away.

Luchs sighed. "Scared?"
"Shut up."
Luchs sighed again. "Sooner or later..." she thought. "Sooner or later... we'll
have to give up on him."
Luchs went to sleep... wondering how would it feel to look at Lord Faust, the
only man she ever loved, kissing Tiger. She wished she was Tiger. She wished Lord
Faust would love her as he loved Tiger. She wished... Tiger wouldn't be in love.

A tear rolled down Luch's cheek. "I'm scared" she whispered. "I don't even know
how would I feel..."
She sighed. She thought of Lime. She looked so happy, playing with her childish
animals... but then again, it was Lime. She was in love with Otaru the same way
that Tiger was in love with Faust.

Why? Perhaps is that they were bearing the innocence circuit? Or there was something
more? An unknown force or... something... inside them that made them fall in love
so easily?

"Why do I feel lonely", she thought. "Even with Lord Faust near me?"

Her gaze went blank as she began 'daydreaming'... looking at the stars.
"I wish i had friends like Lime..."

She climbed on a tree and verified that no technology was present in the
surrounding areas of the forest.

She climbed down.

"Maybe I can write a letter to Cherry - i wonder how they're doing."

After saying this, she went to her sleeping bag. She was wondering about the
espionage mission, calculating the odds. She felt better doing that. When she
was analyzing things, she wouldn't have to think about Lord Faust.

It was better this way. But that night, the thought kept stalking her.

"Sooner or later..."

"Sooner...

or

later..."

"Let's hope it's later. MUCH MUCH later."

Analyzing more odds...

imagining herself battling...

Yeah. She liked it.

And so, she began dreaming with battle, combat, and numbers.

Some minutes later, Lord faust walked by, and covered Luchs with her sleeping
bag. He sighed.

"Why can't I choose between you three..."

Was he afraid of hurting them? He knew who his love was, but he didn't want to
accept it.

"Maybe it's better this way. They're my soldiers. My infantry.
Yes... it's better this way. But... for how long?"

"I better go to sleep. Tomorrow will be a very long day."
Sighing, he made sure the intruder traps around the camp were set up.

He waited 2 more hours. He went to bed. He touched Tiger on the shoulder.
Tiger. Wake up.
"huh? Lord Faust..." she said, smiling at him. He smiled back.
"Your turn."
"Yes, sir."

She got up, and let him sleep.

She watched for intruders... and occasionally she looked at Lord Faust. Her love,
her greatest love... the young child that had come back after many years of evilness.

Finally he was back. She was happy. She sighed.

Her love... her ... everything.
"My Lord Faust, I just can't imagine a life without you... you're everything to
me. I just can't..."

Her face got sad. Her eyes began getting wet. She looked at him again.
"Why am I worried? He's here. He's here." She sighed yet another time.

Looking for intruders, she didn't stop thinking in her love. "For you, my love.
For you."

She smiled.
