*Aprils P.O.V*

Erick cupped my cheek and leaned in and kissed me. It was a sweet slow kiss. Nothing heated and rushed. Just those types of kisses you hear in the fairy tales. After a couple of seconds Erick pulled back and looked at me with a smile then his eyes got wide just realizing what he had done.

“I-I didn’t mean to do that. I-I was just excited and........” He looked into my eyes, his green eyes, back to their regular dark green, were filled with guilt. I grabbed the back of his neck with my hand and got on my tiptoes so all he had to do was bend his neck down a little.

“It’s fine.” I breathed. He leaned down and we continued our slow, sweet kiss.

* 3 Month Narration* *April’s P.O.V*

The three month’s Erick and I spent together were filled with his training. He mastered how to call the element to him but he still had alot to learn. Everyday we met up at the meadow, our little place that only we knew of, to practice. Everyday his ability grew, so did our relationship. After the hard days of training we would swim in the river or we’d walk through the woods or just hang out on the ground talking, learning more about each other. He also taught me somethings: how to look at the world, the Earth, in a different way. Since meeting him, I see the world as a bright new place. He’s also learned alot but the one thing he still hasn’t mastered his how to control the dirt or rocks when their wet. He tries but it never works. Not much has happened these three months but we both have gotten closer and I never wanna let him go. But we knew at some point, we would have to challenge each other, to see who had grown the most, and we both knew that time was now.

*Erick’s P.O.V*

She was a cross from me on the other side of the river. Staring into my eyes. I had a sense of deja vu: the day we first met. We were to face off. Battle. I was afraid. Was I good enough to at least tie with her? If I lost would she still love me or would she think of me as a weak boy and leave me? No. What was I thinking I know her enough now to know she would never do that.

April’s voice took me from my troubled thoughts and into the present meadow, “Are you ready? Stay focused and don’t let your defenses slip. I won’t go easy on you. Ready?” She looked at me, her blue eyes filled with seriousness and calm, controlled. I knew by her personality and look in her eyes, she was serious and she would not go easy on me. Taking a deep breath I shouted, “ Give me all you’ve got!” The second I finished my sentence her eyes closed and I saw her take a deep breath.

Seconds later the smell of the salt ocean was hitting my nose. I felt the adrenaline coursing through my veins. I looked up at her, a small smile on my lips, and her eyes snapped open, already a light blue. At that moment the wind started picking up, her long brown hair blowing. She was so breathtaking, I sucked in air, a little gasp coming out of my mouth. When the noise reached her a smile crept onto her lips. I knew this was cliche but she looked like a wild goddess.

With the adrenaline in my veins and the added excitement from seeing the girl I loved in her true state I tooked a deep breath and closed my eyes. The smell of pine needles and freshly mowed lawns swept the smell of salty oceans away and I knew my power was responding to me. The wind picked up and I opened my eyes.

I looked over to April and she had aw in her eyes, but she quickly composed herself, “Person to go down first or tires out loses. No holding back.” With that, strips of water came up and spun around her. With that I did the first move. I pulled my arm out and thought of the sand coming up and collecting in my palm. The sand quickly came up and fell in my hand with the other I spread it into the air and let it float for a second. I flicked my finger and the sand went flying towards April like an arrow.

She quickly caught it in her water, knowing it was my weakness. She spun the muddy water around her self and launched it towards me. I quickly ducked and I heard the water splash against one of the any tree’s behind me and I got a whiff of wet bark.

I sent a handful of pebbles and sand towards her, she was a couple seconds late ducking so some pebbles and sand ended up in her hair. She quickly returned the attack, send a stream of water towards me and I ducked again and I heard another splashing of water again the trees and I prepared to attack her when she smiled and I felt water splash against my head, the impact causing me to fall over. She went for a third attack but I quickly rolled away sending a chunk of dirt towards her which hit her at the side of her head crumbling into her hair.

At the same time we both attacked send chunks of water and sand towards each other, but getting hit, me in the stomach and her on the head. Me and her ended up on our knees from the impact and while cradling our injured areas we sent attack after attack, them getting weaker from our injuries and tiredness.

We were narrowing down the fight, both of us panting, trying to forget our pains and sending attacks, when suddenly she caught my dirt that I sent towards her and formed it into a ball and sent it towards me and I shut my eyes waiting for the finishing blow, but it never came, and with my eyes still closed I raised an eyebrow and spoke to April, “Um April you can hit me now.....”.

“Erick, open your eyes” she said calmly.

I slowly opened my eyes and I saw the wet dirt ball an inch away from my face and my eyes widened. I couldn't believe I was the one doing this.

“April, you can hit me already, I’m ready for it.....”

“it’s not me who’s doing it Erick, it’s you.”

I couldn't believe the words that she was saying, how could I be controlling this? I don't feel the ball at all, it’s just floating in front of me. I slowly raised my hand giving April a hesitant look. She nodded and I continued.

I stared at the floating ball of dirt trying to sense the ball but nothing was happening. I even waved my arms up and down and side to side to see if it’d move but still nothing happened. After a couple of minutes I was ready to just give up and forfeit are match.

“April I think I’m just gonna gi-”, in the middle of my sentence I froze and an image flashed  into my head: the ball crumbling into a million pebbles around me and them flying towards April. Suddenly I could feel the ball, I could almost see an image of it in my head. I replayed the clip of the ball turning into a million pieces and it hitting April in my head and concentrated on the ball.

I squinted my  eyes and the ball started slowly shaking, sand falling to the ground. I kept imagining the ball crumbling into a thousand pieces around me, and the ball slowly started crumbling, breaking piece by piece until the ball was a mess of chunky sand surrounding me.

I imagined the pieces flinging towards April, and the pieces slowly started to shake again, so moving towards April. I close my eyes and concentrated deeply, forming a mental imagine in my head and slowly I could feel this energy in the pit of my stomach, and I snapped my eyes open.

April gasped, probably from my eyes getting lighter and I smiled. Without breathing, I mentally flung the pebbles at April, and the pebbles sailed past my eyes, going at a speed my eyes couldn't catch up with it and neither could April. She flung a stream of water trying to protect herself but she was a couple second late and the pebbles hit her, some ending up in her hair and some hitting the tree’s behind her.

The water fell from the air and and she fell on her knees holding her arm, she had scratched all over her face, arms and legs. Her dress was caked with mud, and water was dripping from her face and hair. She looked up at me, with light blue eyes, her brown hair sticking to her face.

“You did a good job Erick, I’m proud of you, you’ve won.”, she turned her head in to the side in defeat  and my heart clenched in my chest. Water streamed down her cheek, and my eyes widened. Did I make her cry?! Does she hate me now?!

I ran to her, jumping over the river and running towards her. In a couple of seconds I reached her and  kneeled next to her, I hesitantly touched her shoulder, “A-April, I, I’m so sorry, I didnt mean to make you cry, y-you can do whatever you want with me, you can hit me or whatever, j-just don't hate me please......”, my eyes started getting watery, I felt like my heart had gotten ripped put of my chest. I hadn't meant for her to cry.

I saw her glance up at me through her hair from the corner of my eyes and then she looked away. With her head still low, she said something.

“-idding”
“W-what?”

“Just kidding!”, she raised her head, and she had a big smile on her face. She tackled me to the ground and wrapped her arms around my neck, “You're so easy to fool Erick. That part of you is really cute.”, she winked and kissed me on my forehead. She sat back on her heels and helped me up. As soon as I was in a sitting position she wrapped her arms around my neck again and hugged me.

“You did really great, I’m so proud of you.”, she whispered in my ear. Blushing I nuzzled my face into her hair, sand rubbing against my face. I whispered back thanks and for the second time since we started dating, I kissed her.
