《A dry land》Chapter 7
Advertisement
Luce and Bella are getting ready for their first date. Luce wore a light blue long sleeve tucked in, in black pants. Bella wore a plain brown dress. Luce got to their meeting place first. While waiting, some girls were looking at him, someone talked to him, to hit him up. Bella, not so far from the meeting location, she saw Luce talking to another girl.
Bella approached him calmly while he was talking to someone. She waived at Luce when he look around. He was speechless. He never saw Bella that pretty.
"Excuse me, I have to go", Luce said to the girl then approach Bella. "Hey . . . Uhmm . . . Are you ready?", He said with a shy look. "Yes", Bella replied smiling.
They both started to walk in the street. Bella was happily looking around. Luce can't take his eyes off Bella. Bella stares back at him, and his heart skips a beat.
"Oii, why are you just staring at me, look around the town, it's very beautiful here"
"But you're more beautiful", Luce said while staring at her.
*Cough* "I mean of course it's beautiful here, and it's more beautiful because I'm with someone special to me"
Bella smirks. "Yeah yeah, I know, I know", she pretends she didn't hear what he said first.
"Hey Luce, let's go to this cats cafe, I heard they have a lot of cats. And their blueberry cheesecakes are good", she excitedly dragged Luce inside.
After eating, they go to the carnival, play some games and win some. Unexpectedly there is special event for couples.
"Calling out for couples to join this special event. There are huge prizes awaiting the top 3 winners"
"Hey Luce there's something interesting happening in there, let's check it out."
"Sure let's go"
The event needs 8 couples to participate in it. And there are already 7 couples participating in the event, as they got near it, the mc noticed the two of them. He called them out to be the last participants to join.

"LET'S GIVE THESE COUPLES A ROUND OF APPLAUSE!!! This event will test their relationship. There are 3 prizes for each place. The 3rd place prize is a tree plant, this will measure how long they're being a couple will take. 2nd place prize, is a couple necklace artifact called Minteau, if they are wearing this they can see each other's emotions or feelings. And for the 1st prize is a 3 day vacation in Finlena Island, a very beautiful place to relax and enjoy. Travelling, food, and a transient beach house are all free. PARTICIPANTS, ARE YOU READY??!!"
Bella is very excited. She's so excited that she doesn't think of winning any prize.
The first challenge was to feed each other. In 5 minutes they need to feed each other as much as they can. The couple that has least food they fed to each other will be eliminated. 2 couples eliminated in the end, there are 6 couples left. Luce and Bella are safe
The next challenge is a race where they run while carrying the girl in either back or front and a human horseback riding. Luce struggled a bit in human horseback riding since it's a hard position, but Bella is light. 1 couple eliminated, 5 couples left.
The third challenge was a bit harder. The couple needs to bring the egg from point to point. But they need to kiss the egg to lift it and bring the other side. The participant who brought the least egg on the other side will be eliminated in 5 minutes. While they are holding the egg, Luce puts too much pressure on it. That makes the egg slip on their mouth and their lips touched a bit. 1 couple eliminated and 1 couple got disqualified for fighting in game. 3 couples left, including Luce and Bella.

"We're down to 3 couples, and there are last 2 challenges remaining. Let's proceed with the next challenge!"
The next challenge is easy for Luce and Bella, because they practice their magic a lot. The couple needs to knock down the target that will appear and disappear. Luce and Bella got a high advantage. 1 couple eliminated.
"OOOHH!!! We're down to 2 couples. Let's get on to the next challenge"
The final challenge was kiss your couple. The last couple to seperate from kissing will win. The other couple can do it since they are engaged. But Luce and Bella were at disadvantage since they don't have that kind of relationship yet. They conceded and accepted the 2nd prize, the necklace Minteau.
"That concludes our event"
~at night~
They are both happy Luce and Bella eat dinner in a casual dining.
"I had a lot of fun, in this date with you. Thank you"
"Me too. At least now we can check each other's emotions", the necklace that Luce's wearing emits pinkish red light, which means she is in love. "You can't hide it to me Bella", he adds.
"Yeah yeah, whatever", she smiles cutely.

Soul Weapon Awakening, My Weapon Is A Harmonica
Traversing into this world where the Awakened was respected and where ferocious beasts were rampant, the Soul Weapons the others have awakened to were like the Spirit Lightblade, Moon Spear… but when it came to Copperfield, he awakened to the “piano” and “harmonica”.

8 493Touch
Touch is a story about a boy named James, and his friends: a group of young, superpowered people brought together by trauma; all trying, in their own ways, to come to terms with what that trauma means to them and who they want to be in response to it. This is a learning process, and mistakes are made, but they grow, learn, and adapt to these difficulties in ways that some might say only young people can. While it may look it at first, this is not intended as a sad story, merely an honest one. I wanted to make the characters human, and unfortunately, that means that difficulties hit them in very real ways through the story, but then again, they have some equally human moments of warmth between one another as they grow. Triggers: Explores the aftereffects and recovery process of sexual abuse, and some other forms of physical abuse. I like to think I avoided making it edgy, but you deserve to be informed. Some readers have told me that it can feel a bit too real at times. A bit too honest. If you like what you read, feel free to comment or review. I like the feedback. Or you can vote for Touch on TopWebFiction. Touch also now has both a Discord and a Patreon! Updates weekly.
