The grass and wind was swinging in sync with the weak wind. The colors popped the place out, making it seem like a dream. A dream you didn't want to get out of, because of the joy it gave. Kris was leading the way, followed by Ralsei, then Susie. 

"We need to get to the castle fountain as soon as possible, before the King knows about our presence." they said, wisely. "You're right. If he knows we're here, he'll trap us before we get to do anything!" responded Ralsei. Susie sighed. "We could still take a rest, don't ya think? We've been walking for a while now, and my feet are fucking dying." she demanded. "Well, we could still take a rest. We'll lose time but if we want to fight correctly, we'll need all our energy."

At those words, they stopped by a gorgeous red tree. The leaves were falling in direction of the wind, towards the Fun Gang. Susie sat down and took off her shoes, and then sighed in relief. She then proceeded to rest her head on the tree trunk, and closed her eyes.

"Come here", Ralsei asked to Kris, after having spotted something, "I want to show you something you'll like." he explained, as he took Kris's hand and pulled him. Susie didn't react nor did she seem to care.

Ralsei was pulling Kris to a specific area, that he didn't stop staring. Yet, Kris couldn't see because of Ralsei's hat that was blocking the view. "Where are you leading me to?" they asked.

Ralsei marks a stop in front of a huge, closed flower, that stopped at the height of Ralsei's nose. "This flower is about to bloom." he stated. Kris observed carefully, wanting to see the flower gently open and reveal everything about it.

The flower had indigo and pastel hues, with a curved, stiff stem covered with leaves of different sizes. The stem was dark, navy blue, faded to purple at the base. The flower seemed as dreamy as the whole place, and it was surrounded by the same purple grass that was previously seen in the Fields.

The flower was shaking with the smooth, imperceptible wind. It was swaying, but resisting. "This flower matches your colors, Kris." Ralsei notes. "And it's gorgeous, isn't it?" Ralsei's cheeks ignite with pink colors, almost matching his scarf. Kris doesn't respond, flattered by that sentence, somehow.

The flower's petals begin to move against the smooth, weak wind, separating from one another. "Kris, it's starting!" Ralsei says, joyful. The petals bend, and separate more, revealing a purple hued inside. The flower opens further, showing that the purple fades to light pink at the center. The inside had white little dots, like the view of a far away galaxy full of bright stars. The flower finally opened, revealing a whole universe with the majestuous bloom.

"Ralsei," Kris started to say, "I want to say that... I feel that way. I feel like I'm blooming, when I'm near you." Their voice was slightly shaking. "You said that flower matches my colors, but not just that. You've opened a new universe to me."

Ralsei's cheeks turn red from these unexpected, yet poetic words. He stood there, looking at the ground, fidgeting, flustered. "So... Wha-what am I supposed to respond..?" He asked. "I didn't expect you to... Like me back..." He added.

Kris bends his sturdy legs to get to Ralsei's height, and looks at him straight in the eyes. For the first time, in forever, he smiled. He gently approached his hand to the goat boy's cheek, and caressed him. "Maybe we'll find a flower like you, then, we'll keep this one and yours in a vase, like stupid lovers. Let's think about nothing and dream about everything together." Kris proposed.

"This is a good idea." Ralsei looked at Kris, relieved. "Let's bloom together."
