No Objections
Marc surprised Moon with a vacation home in the Far East, and they both considered it money well spent.
Moon was already thinking about spending their next anniversaries here and Marc had no objections.
Their wedding had been a family affair with all their friends, family and guests surrounding them.
It was beautiful but their honeymoon would be a lot more personal. Just the two of them.
Moon sneaked away two slices of her wedding cake just to make their vacation that much special.
And even though she had plenty of her own, that didn't stop her from digging into Marcs.
~*~*~*~*~
Their honeymoon wasn't so much romantic as it was comfortable.
It didn't consist of drinking wine , watching fireworks and dancing until dawn but instead, they were much more happy just being away together than worrying about that.
However they did enjoy doing the tourist thing.
Moon became captivated combing the Zen Garden
and eventually spotted a ninja.
She tried her best to catch him and ask him a few of his secrets. . .
but he disappeared right before her eyes.
Marc is never going to believe this she thought.
Later on they ended up having a special tea with a few other tourist.
One lady congratulated them on their wedding and told them stories of her and her husband.
Marc couldn't wait to grow old and grey with Moon.
All and all it was good to get out and about but early into their sightseeing,
Marc hinted on how he really wanted to go back to their place.
No objections.
~*~*~*~*~
When they returned it didn't take long for them to both scurry into the bedroom.
"Let's stay in for the rest of the day," Marc suggested.
"The rest of the day it's only 4 o clock," Moon laughed.
There was still quite a bit in the Far East she wanted to see. . . and their time was getting away from them.
In order to convince her, Marc kissed her passionately.
When he released Moon looked up at him, out of breath.
". . . I think staying in would be a good idea," she grinned.
"Yeah?" he laughed.
"Yeah," she giggled.
~*~*~*~
The next day however Moon made it clear that she wanted to see a few more things before their flight in the morning.
"So no more seducing me?" she smiled.
"What? I would never," he grinned already thinking of ways to keep her in.
After his attempts failed and after Moon fought off all his enticing ideas (foot massages, back rubs, romantic baths) they resume their tourist duties.
Moon found a Lucky Shrine
and it was lucky enough to get couple of coins out of it.
The one thing Moon was dying to see was Pagoda in the Shadow, which was a secret Lot with an wise old man.
A friend of a friend gave her a cool map to locate it, and told her tips on what to do when she met him.
When they arrived Moon bowed at the wise man and he greeted her the same.
He then began to tell an interesting and magical story called the Dragon Legend.
It was about destruction, hope and forgiveness.
Moon and Marc were both fascinated by the story and couldn't wait to share it's insight with their friends back home.
~*~*~*~*~
After the story Moon and Marc headed back to their place.
Their Far East vacation was just about over, which really saddened her. Although she was looking forward to a good nights sleep she felt like the sooner she slept, the sooner morning would come.
Marc knew his new wife and knew what was going on in her head. He suddenly had an idea. . . and it was something she didn't expect.
~*~*~*~
"Do you want to go dancing?" he asked smiling.
He knew she could never turn down a dance and agreed.
~*~*~*~*~*~
She quickly got dolled up and they walked down the street to an all night spot.
Everyone else faded away when Moon and Marc took the dance floor.
She felt loved in his arms. Loved, safe and protected.
As he twirled her, their smiles were in sync and their feelings felt everlasting.
Suddenly Moon couldn't wait to go home. They would officially be starting their lives together as Husband and Wife.
That was something they both were looking forward too. No objections.
