Skyler Arakawa: Alright (happy)
And what happened next well this...
The End Of Chapter 15...
Poem: At the carnival's lights, hand in hand we roam,
Laughing and shouting, our joy all our own.
Each game, each ride, pulls us close and apart,
Yet here I stand, with you, in the fairground of my heart.
Poem2: Ferris wheels spin, but time holds still,
A silent night, and hearts to fill.
Beneath the fireworks, with laughter bright,
You are the spark that lights my night.
Poem3: Waking to warmth, under blankets cover,
You're more than a friend, almost a lover.
Hearts open slowly, shy but bold,
In this shared morning, new tales unfold.
Poem4: Rings fly through the air with cheer,
Skyler's laughter is music to hear.
A prize won, a bear for Moon,
Their joy dances to a playful tune.
Poem5: In the library's quiet nook,
Mary and Ben share every look.
With puzzle pieces, they find their way,
Building stories, day by day.
