“What's wrong sweetie?” Danika asked.
“I just missed my boyfriend Garadin.” Rowena answered.
“What happen to Jerome?” Danika asked.
“He broke up with but it's no biggie really because if I had of stayed with him I would never met Garadin.” Rowena answered.
“It sounds to me like you really love this sprite named Garadin.” Alyssa said.

Danika is going by the spare bedroom and she heard Rowena singing. Danika went into the room.
“You really do miss him don't you?” Danika asked.
Rowena nodded her head.
“Yes I really do but I've missed all my friends too.” Rowena answered.
~Meanwhile back in Mainframe~
Garadin is trying hard to concentrate on his new project but it doesn't work and he eventually slammed his fist onto the desk in frustration.
"Spammit!" Garadin cursed.
"Hey what's wrong?" asked his sister Jaeleah.
Garadin sighed.
"I miss Row." Garadin said.
"Well maybe you should write something about how you feel that works for me?" Jaeleah asked because he suddenly noticed that Garadin is gone.
Garadin has decided to follow Jaeleah advice. Garadin is now up in his room working on a poem for Rowena. His mother Arleigh passed by and came in.
"So, what are you up to in here?" Arleigh asked.
Garadin is a bit shy to tell his mother but handed her the poem which she read.
"Wow... Who is this for?" Arleigh asked.
"My new girlfriend, and... I think... wife." Garadin said.
"Wife? It's really that serious?" Arleigh asked.
Garadin nodded.
"Hopefully." Garadin answered.
"Well I'm happy for you son." Arleigh said tussled up his hair.
"Mom..." Garadin moaned as brushed his hair out of his eyes.
Arleigh laughed.
~Meanwhile back in Metadata~
Rowena is thinking about Evasoba and she's crying. Danika, Alyssa and Rayanne are talking in the living room.
“As much she wants to be here with her friends being away from this new sprite in her life is really tearing her apart.” Alyssa said.
“I agree completely.” Danika replied.
A more seconds passed and Rowena can't take it anymore. Rowena came downstairs and looked at her friends.
“I'm going back to Mainframe.” Rowena announces.
Danika, Alyssa and Rayanne gave Rowena a hug goodbye. Rowena went outside than looked around than starts crying.
Danika came outside and noticed Rowena.
“Why are you crying?” Danika asked.
“I don't know how to get back.” Rowena answered.
“How did you get here?” Danika asked.
“A Mainframe Guardian opened a portal for me.” Rowena answered.
Danika left for a few minutes than came back with Circuit.
“Can you open a portal to Mainframe please?” Danika asked.
“Anything for you.” Circuit answered.
Circuit opened a portal to Mainframe than left. Rowena smiled and went though it. Rowena headed in the direction of Garadin's house and knocked on the door.
A tall woman with black hair and golden-yellow skin answered the door. Rowena assumed this was Garadin's mother.
"Oh, hello who are you?" Garadin's mother asked.
"Oh um hi, I'm Rowena Garadin's girlfriend." Rowena answered.
"Oh so you're the sprite he was telling me about." Arleigh answered with a knowing smile.
Arleigh beckoned Rowena inside.
"I'm Arleigh." Garadin said.
Rowena smiled.
"I've heard only good things about you, Mrs. Bounce." Rowena said.
"Oh please call me Arleigh." Joy said.
Rowena smiled.
“Alright I can do that.” Rowena replied.

“Thank you.” Arleigh said.

“Where's Garadin?” Rowena asked.
“Oh he's up in his room and he refused to come out.” Arleigh answered.
Rowena laughed a little.
“Well I'll soon fix that.” Rowena replied.
Rowena walked Garadin's room and knocked on the door.
“LEAVE ME ALONE.” Garadin yelled.
“Ok I guess that means you didn't miss and you don't want to see me.” Rowena said.
"Rowena?!" Garadin asked sounding shocked.
The door opened.
"I'm sorry I didn't know it was you." Garadin said hanging his head.
Rowena hugged him and tilted his head up to hers and looked in his eyes.
“It's ok. I forgive but just don't let it happen got it.” Rowena said.
Garadin nodded his head and kissed her. A few nanoseconds later Garadin's broke the kiss.
“I'm so glad that you're back.” Garadin replied.
“Yeah I can tell from that kiss.” Rowena said.
Garadin took Rowena's hand and lead her into his bedroom. Garadin went over to his desk than took out the piece of paper with the poem on it and handed it to Rowena.
“Here my love, I wrote this for while you were away.” Garadin said.
Rowena looked at the piece of paper than started to read it out loud.
You Make Me Lose My Head
Love, swelling in my heart
Makes me so insane
Love
Passion, coursing through my veins
Is what I'll never change
Passion
My head, acting on its own
Is what causes me such pain
Pain
And nobody, not even User himself
Could make me turn away
Turn Away
You are my light, Angel
And I'm standing by your side
Standing by your side
Forevermore and beyond
I can't control myself around you
You make me lose my head
My Head
And though I know I can't
What feels so wrong feels so good
I will never
I will never
Never
Never
Act the same again
Rowena stared at Garadin with a look of shock.
“You really wrote this?” Rowena asked.
Garadin nodded his head.
“Yeah I did my love.” Garadin answered.
“I had know idea that you were that deep with your feelings.” Rowena said.
“Well know you do my love.” Garadin said.
Rowena smiled than hugged Garadin really tight. They sat on Garadin's bed and started kissing passionately. A few nanos later they stopped.
“What do you want to do now?” Rowena asked.
“I want you come somewhere with me.” Garadin answered.
“Alright than.” Rowena answered.
Rowena smiled. Garadin got to his feet than helped Rowena to her feet and they walked to a club.
“What are we doing here?” Rowena asked.
“I've always wanted to take you here.” Garadin answered.
Rowena smiles a little.
All of a sudden music started up which is one of Rowena's favorite songs. A few nanos later the song is over. Garadin let out a long sigh.
Rowena looked at Garadin.
“What bought that on?” Rowena asked.
“Nothing I've just been doing a lot of thinking while you were Metadata.” Garadin answered.
“About what?” Rowena asked.
“Mainly us.” Garadin answered.
“What about us?” Rowena asked.
“Mostly our future.” Garadin answered.
“Our future?” Rowena asked kind of confused.
“Yes our future my dear.” Garadin answered.
Rowena smiled a little.
“I've been thinking about our future too.” Rowena said.
Garadin smiled at hearing that.
“You know I love you right?” Garadin asked.
Rowena smiled.
“Yeah I know you.” Rowena answered.
“Well I want you know that I love more than you ever know and you have are the best thing that has every happen to me.” Garadin said.
“What's gotten into you?” Rowena asked.
“Nothing.” Garadin answered.
“I'm not buying that so spill it already.” Rowena said.
Garadin walked up to the stage that is there and took the microphone.
“Could I get everyone's attention?” Garadin asked.
All the sprites and binomes in the club looked at Garadin.
“Yeah have it.” The sprites and binomes answered.
“I would like to ask the love of my life something very important.” Garadin said.
Rowena smiled.
“Which would be what?” a sprite asked.
“If she would make me the happy sprite here by saying that she'll marry me.” Garadin answered.
Rowena's eyes widen in shock. Garadin walked off the stage and over to where Rowena is.
A sprite looked at them.
“Are you going to marry him deary?” the sprite asked.
“Um….ah….uh…..” Rowena answered.
Gardin took Rowena's hand and they go up on stage together. The song “Livin' La Vida Loca” started playing.
Evasoba:
She's into superstitions, white nulls and voodoo circuits
I feel a premonition that girl's gonna make me fall (here we go!)
She's into new sensations, new kicks and candlelight
She's got a new addiction for every day and night
Rowena takes the other microphone.
Rowena:
She'll make you take your clothes off and go dancing in the rain
She'll make you live her crazy life
But she'll take away your pain
Like a bullet to your brain
Both:
Upside inside out
Livin la Vida loca
She'll push and pull you down
Livin la Vida loca
Her lips are devil red
And her skin's the color mocha
She will wear you out
Livin la Vida loca
Livin la Vida loca
Livin la Vida loca
(Hey donkey that's Fortran!)
Evasoba:
I woke up in Mainframe City in a funky cheap hotel
She took my heart and she took my money
She must have slipped me a sleeping pill
She never drinks the water and makes you order fresh champagne
(Shrek, Shrek, Shrek, Shrek, Shrek!)
And once you've had a taste of her you'll never be the same
She'll make you go insane
Rowena:
Upside inside out
Livin la Vida loca
She'll push and pull you down
Livin la Vida loca
Her lips are devil red
And her skin's the color mocha
She will wear you out
Livin la Vida loca
Livin la Vida loca
Livin la Vida loca
(Com'on, oww, o she's livin la loca, break it down.)
Both:
Upside inside out
Livin la Vida loca
She'll push and pull you down
Livin la Vida loca
Livin la vida loca
She'll push and pull you down
Livin la vida loca
Her lips are devil red
And her skin's the of color mocha
She will wear you out
Livin la Vida loca
Livin la Vida loca
Livin la Vida loca
(Shrek, what'd you say?)
Livin la Vida loca
They walked off the stage hand in hand. Rowena looked up at Garadin.
“Are you going to marry me or not my dear?” Garadin asked.
“Yes I'll marry you.” Rowena answered.
Garadin smiled than pulls Rowena close. Garadin took a blue box out from behind his back than opened it to reveal the ring. Rowena's eyes widen in shock as Garadin's placed it on her ring finger.
Rowena looked at the ring than at Garadin and hugged him. A few milliseconds later they are walking home. They get to Rowena's place. Garadin pulled her close and kissed her passionately.
Rowena just smiled. A few nanos later they stop kissing. Rowena went to open the door than turned to Garadin.
“I love you.” Rowena said.
Garadin smiled.
“I love you too my dear.” Garadin replied.
Rowena hugged him than went inside and Garadin went home to his place.
