Well here is my origional fic.  I hope you enjoy it.
----------------------------------------------------------

	The sun was rising greeting a man alone, on a cliff looking out into
the wilderness.  The man enjoyed the entire feeling of the dawn, the
sun slowly warming the land, the freshness of the morning air, and the
solitude.  Yes, solitude was something that he had missed, it was a
companion that gave you time to think.  Unfortunetly for him it would
not last.

	"Abaredasu!  Dat! Where are you hidin' ya big loser.", came a soft
soprano voice from somewhere in the woods behind him.  He couldn't
help but smile.  Rooks and himself had been friends during their
training in the Academy.  Some people had always seen her as the prize
between him and his rival William, treating her as if she was some
kind of possesion.  They never thought of her as being a human being
and that was something that irritated Rooks and himself.  Worse of all
in this male dominated society she was considered inferior,
underestimating her because she's a girl was one sure way to get her
mad at you.  Most people would not like what she could do to you when
she was mad.

	Abaredasu turned around as he heard some rustling in the bushes
behind him and relaxed as Rooks came into view.  All five feet two
inches of her vibrant beauty of forceful personality.  She was so very
opposite to him, where he would think she would act, where he is
polite she is sarcastic and snide.  Despite that gruff exterior
however she loved all of her friends fiercly and would gladly give up
her life for them.

	Slowly she made her way to him shivering so slightly in the morning
air.  When she made it she kissed him soundly on the lips, he returned
that kiss back with all his love.  You see despite that these two
people, by our standars at least, are quite young (I belive that Rooks
and Abaredasu are 16 and 17 respectively)  they were lovers that cared
for each other since their training days in the academy.

	Noticing that Rooks had forgotten her cloak, Abaredasu wrapped her
protectivly in his purple cloak, warding of the cold with their bodies
and their hearts.

	"So whatcha doing up here besides freezin'?"  Rooks asked Abaredasu
as she looked up lovingly in his azure eyes.  Instinctivly she
snuggled up closer to him.

	"Just thinking." came his enigmatic reply.

	"Bout what?"

	"Nothing in particular." and sensing that he really didn't wish to
talk about it, Rooks left well enought alone.  She looked up at her
lover, his blue eyes and blond hair that made him look so cute,
serious, sexy and gorgeous all at once.  He was a prize, one to be
treasured, for where on this world of psionisits did one find such a
rare one as he.  Rooks remembered at the Academy that she was one of
the few girls in the school learning how to control her powers before
they killed her.  Most people thought of her as an extremely
attractive girl, Rooks didn't deny them that but most guys would walk
up to her as if the best thing that could happen to her was to go with
them.  Abaredasu wasn't like that at all.  He respected her as an
inferior, equal and better.  Inferior when he did something better
than she did, he would never blame it on her being a girl but would
encourage her to do better.  Equal when they both excelled at the same
field.  Better when she did something that he didn't do well, he never
got angry and called her very insulting names he tried to get her to
teach him so that he could become her equal.

	This is a scene that most poets would kill to write about.  Two young
lovers together enjoying the silence of their thoughts and the warmth
of their love in the chill morning air.  For the cynical people out
there they would only have four words "the moment won't last".

	Sure enough cynics won over poets as the sound of battle resounded
from the group of building below.  The sounds of the dying and the
cheers of the victors.

The person who came up with the three R's of learning,
Reading, Writing and Arithmatic obviously wasn't a spelling
major.
