Nag-reunion ang magbabarkada, this time kasama nila sina Aiya at AJ. "I knew it. You guys would end up with each other," Lauren said with a smile. "Yeah I'm glad Devon gave me another chance," James said, he glanced at Devon and smiled. "You shouldn't mess this last chance dude," sabi ni Quen at inakbayan si James. "I know, I know," sabi ni James. "You should invite us if you guys get married. I will hate both of you forever if you guys didn't," sabi ni Kazel with a hair flip. "Of course we will. You guys know how grateful we are to all of you. For putting up with our petty fights, for helping us realize our feelings. And for locking in us in a room for one night," said Devon and everybody laughed at Devon's last sentence. "That's my idea," Kazel said, raising her hand. "Well, speaking of marriage....." sabi ni James. He got down to his knees and took out a blue velvet box. "Devon Seran, I don't want you to slip away from me again. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, to grow old with you, to spend the rest of forever with you. Devon Seran, will you accept this ring and become the future Mrs. James Reidd?" James said, obviously nervous. Devon teared up. "Y...Yes, of course," she said. James put the ring on Devon and he got up. James and Devon shared a passionate kiss while everybody clapped and cheered.
Devon and Ayami became good friends. They found out that they share the same passion. Sam and Devon fans accepted James. Even though James and Devon are in a relationship, Sam and Devon's career still blossomed. Sam had a secret relationship with Devon's friend, AJ. Devon stopped her acting career to be with James in Australia. They got married two years after their engagement. They have three children named James Jr., Dara Destiny and Savannah. Devon started to act in Australian television and became a popular actress there.
"Mission accomplished," sabi ni Cupid. "Syempre. Ang galing ko kaya!" sabi ni Cupidette. "Ang yabang mo talaga!" sabi ni Cupid. "HA!? Sinong mayabang!?" galit na sigaw ni Cupidette. "KAILAN BA KAYO MAGTATANDA!" sigaw ni Aphrodite. At napagalitan na naman ang dalawa.

Chapter 12 Truth
Sinamahan ni Ayumi si James sa beach. "It's nice here right?" sabi ni Ayami. "Yeah," ang tanging nasagot ni James. May biglang nakakuha ng attention ni James. Babae at lalaking naghahalikan. Kita nya mula sa sideview ang dalawa. Ito'y walang iba kundi sina Devon at Sam. Di namalayan ni James ang tumulong luha. Napatingin si Ayami sa direksyon na tinitingnan ni James. Napansin nya ang luha sa mga mata nito. "Mr. Reidd, are you okay?" naga-alalang sabi ni Ayami. "I'm fine Ms. Okumura," sabi ni James. Pinunasan nya ang mga luha sa mga mata nya. "Do you know those two?" tanong ni Ayami. Tahimik lang si James. "I will take that silence as a yes," sabi ni Ayami. "Yes, I do know them," sabi ni James. At ikwinento nya ang tungkol sa nakaraan nila ni Devon. "I know how you feel," sabi ni Ayami. "Huh? What do you mean Ms. Okumura ?" sabi ni James. "I fell in love with a guy, way back in high school. Sadly he didn't like me back. And the worst thing is, he is working at Higashi Corporation. And you can call me Ayami Mr. Reidd," sabi ni Ayami. "I see. I won't ask any further questions in case you don't want to share it with me. And you can also call me James," sabi ni James. Ngumiti si Ayami. "Thank you. You're a real gentleman," sabi ni Ayami.
Napalingon si Devon sa lalaki at babae na nakasuot ng suits sa beach. Lumingon ang lalaki. Nakita nya ang mukhang matagal na nyang napapanaginipan, ang mukha ni James Reidd. May kasama itong isang magandang dalaga. "And cut!" sigaw ng direktor nila. Sinubukang habulin ni Devon si James, pero nawala itong parang bula......
Bumalik sina James at Ayami sa hotel. Nagkayayaan kasi silang lumangoy. Nalaman nila na marami pala silang pagkakatulad. Pareho nilang gusto ang italian foods, pareho silang mahilig magbasa, pareho rin nilang paborito si Cookie Monster. Nagbihis si James sa isang black boardshorts. Si Ayami naman ay nagbihis ng isang white bikini. Marami silang napagkwentuhan. Tungkol sa business, sa family at sa lovelife. "The guy I was talking about was Jun. I liked him when I was in 1st year highschool. We were in the same class. I admitted my feelings in 3rd year, but he said that he didn't like me. He always avoided me after that. Then we went to college and I thought I would never see him again. Then we trained at Higashi at the same time. And now, he's my boss. And I'm still in love with him," maiyak-iyak na sabi ni Ayami. "Hey...." sabi ni James at inakbayan nya si Ayami. Sakto naman na anduon si Devon. Umiyak ito at tumakbo patungo sa hotel. Nabungo nya si Aiya at AJ. "O Devon. Ba't ka umiiyak!?" tanong ni Aiya sa kaibigan. "He's here. Aiya, James is here," sabi ni Devon. Ikwinento nya ang nakita. Di man kilala ni Aiya at AJ si James personally, bigla silang nagalit dito. Lumabas sila at nakita si James. Kilala nila ito dahil sa nakita nya ito sa mga pictures. Lumapit si Aiya dito at sinampal ang kanang pisngi ng lalaki. "That is for my bestfriend," sabi ni Aiya. Si AJ naman ay sinampal ang kaliwang pisngi ni James. "That is for Devon. Why did you come back? Devon's life is fine just the way it is, until you came back," sabi ni AJ at umalis na rin ang dalawa.
Hinawakan ni James ang magkabilang pisngi. Ang sakit ng sampal ng dalawa. "Devon......" bulong ni James. Narinig nya kasi ang sabi ng babaeng naka-purple. "That is for Devon...." yun lang ang nasa isip ni James. "Wait a sec Ayami, I'll be back," sabi ni James. Tumango naman si Ayami. Tumakbo si James sa reception ng hotel. "Excuse me, can I ask if there's a Devon Seran staying here?" tanong ni James sa receptionist. "Sorry sir. I can't share that kind of information. We respect the privacy of our customers," sabi ng receptionist. Lumingon si James at nakita nya si Devon na pinipigilan ang luha. Tumakbo sya sa direksyon nito. Niyakap nya si Devon ng mahigpit. "Devon...." bulong nya sa tenga ng dalaga. Pero tinulak sya ni Devon. "Why are you here? You should be with that girl, the one that's with you earlier," sabi ni Devon. Halata ang selos at galit sa tono ng boses nya. "Ayami? She's only a friend of mine. Nothing more," sabi ni James. "I also heard about your engagement. Congrats," sabi ni Devon with sarcasm. "That was a lie," sabi ni James. "Hmmpph," sabi ni Devon. "What could I do to prove that you're the one I love?" tanong ni James. Di naman sumagot si Devon. Nagulat na lang ang dalaga ng bigla syang hinalikan sa labi ni James. Gusto sana nyang itulak at umiwas, pero ang puso nya ay hinahanap-hanap at na-miss ang labi ni James. Nag-smile si James. Matapos itigil ang halikan dahil kailangan nila ng hangin, "You still love me don't you?" ani ni James. "Oo na," sabi ni Devon. James smiled and did the JAEVON HUG. And then they kiss, not minding the photographers.

Chapter 11 The Higashi Corporation
Pinauwi na si Devon ng mga doktor. Nakahiga sya sa kama nya at nagpapahinga. Siguro ang katawan nya napapahinga, pero hindi ang puso at isip nya. "Ikakasal na sya....." yun lang ang laman ng isip nya. Inisip rin nya ang conversation nya with Sam.....
"Devon, now that.....now that he's engaged, can you give me a chance?" tanong ni Sam.
Di nya nasagot ang tanong na iyon ni Sam. Handa na ba syang mag-let go?
"Haaaayy.... kawawang Devon. Sino ba kasi yang Ericka na yan?" tanong ni Cupid kay Cupidette. "Wait a sec, I'm surfing the net. Aha! Sabi dito, sya daw ang anak ng business tycoon na si Kyle Vilongco. Only child. A brat. Andami nyang scandal. She hooked up with Mark White, Rick Sugui to name a few guys. Kaloka naman pala itong babaeng to!" sabi ni Cupidette. "Hay, bisitahin nga natin si James para malaman natin ang truth once and for all!" sabi ni Cupid. At lumipad ang magkapatid patungong America.
Pagdating ng dalawa sa America, nakita nila si James sa office nito. "Sabi na nga ba," sabi ni Cupidette. Nakita nila ang mga photos nila James at Devon na magkasama at may picture si Devon na nakangiti. "Rumors lang talaga ang mga yun," sabi ni Cupid. "We need to take action!" sabi ni Cupidette. Pumunta sila ng Japan at nag-shoot sila ng arrow duon. Tinamaan nila ang presidente ng Higashi Corporation na Japanese firm na ka-deal ng Reidd Corporation dahil balak ng Reidd Corporation ng magtayo ng isang hotel sa Japan. Pagkatapos ay bumalik agad sila ng America.
Samantala, nakatanggap naman si James ng tawag kay Jun Horie, ang presidente ng Japanese firm na ka-deal nila. Sinabi nito na kung pwede ba daw silang magkita para pag-usapan pa ang tungkol sa hotel. Pumayag naman si James. Ang sabi ni Mr. Horie ay kung pwede sa Pilipinas sila magkita dahil anduon si Mr. Horie ngayon. At pumayag ulit si James. Ngumiti si James ng binaba nya ang telepono. "Finally, I have the time and reason to visit the Philippines," isip ni James. He booked the earliest flight to the Philippines.
Sa Boracay ang place kung saan sila magme-meet ni Mr. Jun Horie. Mr. Horie likes to mix business with pleasure. Nagsta-stay si Mr. Horie sa Blue Resort kaya dun na rin nag stay si James. "Good morning. Are you Mr. James Reidd?" said a pretty brunette. "Yes, I am James Reidd. And you are?" sabi ni James. "I'm Ayami. It's a pleasure to meet you," sabi ng babae. Kilala nya ang babae ito. Sya si Ayami, ang vice president ng Higashi Corporation. "Mr. Horie is currently sick and he's in his room. He asked me to show you around," sabi ni Ayami. "Oh, it's okay, I don't want to be a bother," sabi ni James. "Oh, it won't be a bother," sabi ni Ayami at ngumiti ito kay James.
"Devon, now that.....now that he's engaged, can you give me a chance?" tanong ni Sam.
Di nya nasagot ang tanong na iyon ni Sam. Handa na ba syang mag-let go?

Chapter 10 Cupid and Cupidette are back!
"Nasaan ako?" tanong ni Devon. Naroon sina Sam, AJ at Aiya, pati na rin ang director at ibang staff, crew and cast nila sa teleserye. "Thank God you're okay," sabi ng director nila. "Dev, are you okay?" sabi ng co-star nyang si Mae. "I'm okay," sabi ni Devon. Pero sa loob nya, alam nyang di sya okay. Niloko lang sya ni James. Katulad ang din pala ito ng ama nya. Iniwan din ang mama nya. Pinaasa lang sya ni James. At ito naman sya, tanga at naniwala.
Samantala sa kabilang bahagi ng mundo.......
"Shit! What the fuck is this!?" James asked his secretary while throwing the magazine at the wall. "I'm sorry sir. I don't know where this came from. I'll prepare a press conference right away," she said. She left the room. James looked up at the ceiling. "What if Devon sees this!?" James murmured. Yes, di pa rin nya nakakalimutan si Devon. Kahit na dalawang taon na ang nakalipas. Palagi syang nagsu-surf sa mga sites na may balita kay Devon. Kung may magazine na cover o may article si Devon binibili nya. Tapos lahat ng teleserye at pelikula ni Devon ay pinapa-translate nya sa English para mapanood nya. Call him obsessed, wala syang pakialam. Minsan may pagkakataon na pag napapanood nya ang mga kissing scene ni Devon kay Sam at nababasa nya ang kwento na may relasyon si Sam at Devon ay nasasaktan sya. Pero iniisip na lang nya na ang lahat ng iyon ay walang katotohanan. Bibisita sya sa Pilipinas sa susunod na buwan. "Devon, do you still love me?" isip ni James
Sa land of the Immortals
"Nakakaloka na talaga ito," sabi ni Cupid. "Hay naku, after all my efforts," sabi ni Cupidette. "Stupid! Di mo efforts yun noh, akin!" sabi ni Cupid. "Sinong stupid!!??" tanong ni Cupidette. "Ilang taon ba kayo!? Amg iingay nyo ha!" sabi ng kagigising lang na si Aphrodite. "Sorry ma, ito kasing curly haired baby fat na ito eh!" sabi ni Cupidette. "SHUUUUT UUUUP!" sabi ni Aphrodite. "Naloloka ako sa inyo. Bumaba nga kayo! Atupagin nyo ang love story ng dalawang yun! Pag nag-away kayo, iba-barbeque ko kayong dalawa! Chupi na!" sabi ni Aphrodite at bumalik na ito sa kanyang bedroom. At bumaba na ang dalawa sa land of the Mortals.

Chapter 9: Farewell and 2 Years Later
Inihatid ng barkada si Devon sa airport. "Wala na akong kasama dito," sabi ni Fretzie. "Mami-miss kita Fretz," sabi ni Devon. At nagyakap ang mag-bestfriends. "Thank you Ky, ikaw ang cupid namin ni James. Thank you sa lahat ha," sabi ni Devon kay Kyra. "No Devon. It was fate. Kaya kayo nagbangga. I will really miss you Devon. Keep in touch okay," sabi ni Kyra. At nagyakap sila. "We will miss you too Devon. You're like a little sis to us," sabi ni Quen. "Yeah. And here's a farewell present," sabi ni Ivan. Ibinigay nya kay Devon ang isang Cookie Monster na stuff toy. "Thanks guys," sabi ni Devon at niyakap ang dalawa. "Devvie, we'll miss you. Sleepovers and shopping will be different without you," sabi ni Kazel. "Yeah. Promise you'll keep in touch okay?" sabi ni Lauren. "Promise," sabi ni Devon. At narinig nyang tinawag ang flight nya. "I need to go now," sabi nya habang lumuluha. Lumapit sa kanya si James at niyakap sya. "I wouldn't be able to be in contact with you for the next two years for my training. But I will keep my promise. Wait for me okay," sabi ni James. "I will wait for you," sabi ni Devon. And they kissed for one last time. Devon entered the gates, and now, she's gone.
Pagsakay ni Devon sa eroplano, di pa rin tumitigil ang luha nya. "I will miss my friends,the place, the clean air. I will miss everything about Australia. But I will miss you James, the most," isip ni Devon habang nakasulyap sa bintana ng airport. Di nya mapigilan ang mga luha. "I will miss you Devon. I will train hard for you. Wait foor me," isip ni James habang pinapanood nya ang eroplano ni Devon na nagte-take off.
After ng two years......
Successful pa rin si Devon. May ongoing syang teleserye ngayon with Sam. May pagbibidahan din silang dalawa na pelikula. At kaka-platinum lang ng kanyang fourth album. Ang dami nyang endorsements at sya ang cover ng mga magazines. Pero alam nyang may kulang. "Hoy! Nakatulala ka na naman dyan!" sabi ni bestfriend nyang si AJ nang pumasok ito sa dressing room nya. "Hindi ah. Kung ano-ano na lang ang pinapansin mo," sabi naman ni Devon sa kanya. "Ah sus!" na lang ang nasabi ni AJ. "Nag-aaway na naman kayo noh!?" sabi ng isa pa nyang kaibigan na si Aiya. "Di po away, asaran lang," sabi ni AJ. Naputol ang usapan ng may biglang kumatok sa pinto. "Hey," sabi ni Sam. May dala syang bouquet ng red roses. "Uhm, ibibigay ko lang sana ito," sabi ni Sam at inabot nya ang roses kay Devon. "Thanks Sam," ang nasabi ni Devon. "Sige alis na rin ako," sabi ni Sam. "Bye Sam," sabi nina AJ at Aiya. "Bye Sam, and thanks," sabi ni Devon. Ngumiti lang si Sam at lumabas na rin. "Haaaayyy... ang haba ng hair mo gurl! Gwapo kaya ni Sam. Kung sa akin lang nya sana ibinigay ang rose, ibibigay ko sa kanya ang aking matamis na oo," sabi ni AJ. "Asa ka pa AJ. Kay Devon lang ang pagtingin nun noh!" sabi ni Aiya. "Che! Sinisira mo ang aking moment," sabi ni AJ. Matagal na rin nanliligaw si Sam kay Devon. Mahigit isang taon na rin. Maga-apat na taon na rin naman kasi silang magka-loveteam kaya siguro di na rin naiwasan ni Sam ang mahulog kay Devon. Pero may nagma-mayari na ng puso ni Devon. Ayaw nyang paasahin si Sam kaya sinabi nya ang tungkol kay James. "Ayos lang sa akin. Kaya kong maghintay," lang ang sinabi ng binata. "Uy, may nakita ako oh!" sabi ni Aiya. Inilabas nya ang isang magazine. Andun ang picture ni James. At and headline sa cover ay 'James Reidd, America's most successful businessman'. Ang laki ng ngiti ni Devon. Binasa nya ang article ng malakas para marinig nina AJ at Aiya.
James Reidd, 20 is one of America's most successful businessman. He owns the Reidd Hotels and Reidd resorts that is famous all over the world. It is rumored that he is about to marry the Vilongco Corporation's princess, Ericka. The rumors said that James Reidd proposed to Ericka Vilongco last month. And rumors said that Ms. Vilongco is pregnant.......
Naputol ang binabasa ni Devon. Di na nya maipagpatuloy. Nabasa na rin ang magasin ng mga luha nya. Nabigla sya ng masyado. At dun biglang nagdilim ang lahat...........

Chapter 8: A Letter and a Call
The happy days continued for both James and Devon. Until a letter came. It was her manager, asking her to come back. She is afraid to tell James.
Meanwhile, James received a phonecall from his father who is now in America, where the main building of Reidd Corporation is located. He asked him to go to America in three months time so he could start his training. He's turning 18 that month. He is afraid to tell Devon.
The next day at school, di nila matingnan ang mata ng isa't isa. Nagi-guilty sila. Hindi muna nila nilapitan ang isa't isa. Sa cafeteria may napansin ang barkada nila ng naupo si Devon sa ibang table at hindi sa table nilang barkada. Ganun din si James. "There's something strange about the two lovebirds," bulong ni Kazel. "They've been ignoring each other the whole day. They're usually either being lovey-dovey or fighting and shouting," sabi ni Ivan. Nilapitan nina Kyra at Fretzie si Devon. "Devon, is there something wrong?" tanong ni Fretzie. Di na napigilan ni Devon ang luha. "I have a confession. I'm leaving in three days. I have to go back," sabi ni Devon. Nagulat ang dalawa. Niyakap lang nila si Devon.
Si Quen at Ivan naman ay nilapitan si James. "Dude, something wrong?" tanong ni Quen. "I have to go to America. My dad insist that I should start training. But I don't know how to tell Devon," sabi ni James. Pinipigilan nya lang ang mga luha nya. "But you have to tell her," sabi ni Ivan. "I agree with Ivan. She has the right to know," sabi ni Quen. "I WILL tell her. I will," sabi ni James.
Sa van pauwi, walang kibuan na naganap sa pagitan ng lahat. Alam ng nga babae ang tinatago na lihim ni Devon samantalang alam ng mga lalaki ang lihim ni James. Wala ang usual na kulitan at harutan. Pinaalam nina Devon kina Kazel at Lauren ang sikreto. Tahimik ang lahat. "Why are you so...quiet today. This is very unusual," sabi ng driver ng van ni Ivan. Di na lang sumagot ang lahat.
Paguwi nina Devon at Fretzie, pumasok agad sa kwarto si Devon. Kumuha sya ng towel at naligo. Sumasabay ang luha nya sa patak ng tubig mula sa shower. Paglabas nya ay nagbihis sya ng pajama nya at kumuha ng ice cream. Yun kasi ang comfort food nya. Sinamahan sya ni Kyra at nanuod sila ng mga chick flick habang kumakain ng chocolate ice cream. Nasa kagitnaan sila ng pelikulang A Walk to Remember ng may nakuha syang text mula kay James. "Can u meet me? I'm in the park. I need to tell u sumthing," nakasulat sa text message nito. "Sabi ni James i-meet ko daw sya ngayon na. Nasa park daw sya," sabi ni Devon kay Fretzie. Halata sa mukha nya na ayaw nya munang kausapin si James. "I think na kailangan mo nang kausapin si James. Kailangan nyang malaman ang totoo," sabi ni Fretzie. Nagsuklay lang sya at lumabas. Di na nya pinansin na naka pajama lang sya. Nakita nya na nakaupo si James sa swing. Nilapitan nya ito at umupo sa pink na swing na katabi ng blue na swing na inuupuan ni James. "Hey," sabi ni James ng nakita si Devon. "Hey yourself," sabi ni Devon. "I have to tell you something," sabi nilang dalawa ng sabay. "You can go first," sabi ni Devon kay James. "Nah, it's okay. Ladies first," sabi ni James. "No, it's okay," sabi ni Devon. Huminga ng malalim si James. "Devon. I have something important to say. My dad wants me to go to America. He said I need to train because I'm going to manage the company one day," sabi ni James. Nakatingin sya sa sapatos nya. Ayaw nyang makita ang mukha ni Devon. "I am going back to the Philippines in three da. I have to," sabi ni Devon. Tumulo na ang luha nya. Kung malayo ang Pinas at Australia, mas malayo ang Pinas at America. Niyakap sya ni James mula sa likuran. If this was two months ago, I would probably go to America without any hesitations because I was preparing for this training my whole life. But then I met you. You're the number one reason that I want to stay here. I promise, one day, I'll come and get you in the Philippines. I will never forget you. I will love you f....forever," sabi ni James at hinalikan ang leeg ni Devon. Yun kasi ang paboritong lambing ni James kay Devon. "I will wait for you James. And I will love you forever,too," sabi ni Devon. Iniharap ni James ang mukha ni Devon sa kanya. And they shared a passionate kiss. Parang wala ng bukas. Alam nilang pareho na kailangan nilang sulitin ang oras, lalo na't malapit na silang magwalay.
Meanwhile, James received a phonecall from his father who is now in America, where the main building of Reidd Corporation is located. He asked him to go to America in three months time so he could start his training. He's turning 18 that month. He is afraid to tell Devon.
The next day at school, di nila matingnan ang mata ng isa't isa. Nagi-guilty sila. Hindi muna nila nilapitan ang isa't isa. Sa cafeteria may napansin ang barkada nila ng naupo si Devon sa ibang table at hindi sa table nilang barkada. Ganun din si James. "There's something strange about the two lovebirds," bulong ni Kazel. "They've been ignoring each other the whole day. They're usually either being lovey-dovey or fighting and shouting," sabi ni Ivan. Nilapitan nina Kyra at Fretzie si Devon. "Devon, is there something wrong?" tanong ni Fretzie. Di na napigilan ni Devon ang luha. "I have a confession. I'm leaving in three days. I have to go back," sabi ni Devon. Nagulat ang dalawa. Niyakap lang nila si Devon.
Si Quen at Ivan naman ay nilapitan si James. "Dude, something wrong?" tanong ni Quen. "I have to go to America. My dad insist that I should start training. But I don't know how to tell Devon," sabi ni James. Pinipigilan nya lang ang mga luha nya. "But you have to tell her," sabi ni Ivan. "I agree with Ivan. She has the right to know," sabi ni Quen.

Chapter 7: The Truth about the Mystery Arrow
Ang lakas ng ulan. At biglang kumulog. "AAAAHHHH!!!" sigaw ni Devon. Sumilong sya sa isang waiting shed. She hugged her knees. At di nya napigilan ang umiyak sa takot.
Si James naman ay basang basa. Hinahanap nya si Devon. Nang may makita syang tao sa waiting shed. Kinuha nya ang Ipod nya at ipinasok nya ang earphone sa tenga ni Devon. "Listen to this. So you won't be able to hear the thunder," sabi ni James. He wiped her tears. At niyakap nya ang likod ni Devon. "James, thank you," sabi ni Devon. "For what?" sabi ni James. "For being here. And I want to aplogize. I've been rude earlier," sabi ni Devon. "That's okay. I've been rude too. Sorry," sabi ni James. Devon smiled. Ayaw man yang aminin pero kinikilig sya sa small gestures ni James. Nilingon ni Devon si James. At napakalapit ng mga labi nila. Like magnet, biglang nagdikit ang mga labi nila. James initiated a kiss. And parang na-hypnotize si Devon at hinalikan din nya si James. Naghiwalay lang sila ng nawalan sila ng oxygen. "Devon, would you....would you go out with me?" sabi ni James. Ngumiti si Devon. "Yes," simpleng sagot ng dalaga.
"That was Parental Guidance!" sabi ni Cupid habang nakatakip ang mata. "Ano ka beh? Cupid ka diba? Di ka dapat nagfre-freak out sa mga ganung gestures," sabi ni Cupidette. Nag-giggle sya sa reaction ng kapatid. "Shut up," sabi ni Cupid. And Cupidette just glared at him. "You know, you're unknown arrow almost ruined her happiness," sabi ni Cupidette. "HA? Ano bang effects nun?" sabi ni Cupid. "Well..... dapat magiging monkey sya, pero 'love conquers all'," sabi ni Cupidette, grinning. She grabbed her brother's wings at lumipad sila sa Land of the Immortals. "Mission Accomplished," isip ni Cupidette.
"Would you like to go out with me sometime?" sabi ni James. Nagblush si James sa sinabi nya. It's his first time asking a girl out cause the girls always ask him out. "please say yes, please say yes," isip ni James. "Sure.What date and time?" sabi ni Devon. "Saturday. 10:00," sabi ni James.
Nagsuot si Devon ng simple blue shirt, jeans and sneakers. Casual date lang naman daw sabi ni James. Nagspray sya ng perfume at lumabas. Magmi-meet daw sila sa may waiting shed. Nakita nya si James na nakatingin sa kabilang direksyon. Nilapitan nya ito. Pero may narinig syang binubulong niyo. "Yo Devon. No that's for guys. Greetings Devon. No, too formal," sabi ni James. Pinigilan ni Devon ang tumawa. "How about...hi Devon," sabi ni Devon. "That's too......" sabi ni James. "Normal?" sabi ni Devon. "Yes," sagot ni James. Paglingon nya nakita nya si Devon. He turned tomato red. They went to an amusement park. They rode a lot of rides. James played hoops and won a light bleu teddy bear. He gave it to Devon. They ate hotdogs for lunch. And they watched fireworks when the night came. James dropped Devon off at Fretzie's place. "I know that we haven't know each other for a long time. But I can say that I really like you. No, I love you," sabi ni James. Tahimik lang si Devon at yumuko. Na-sad si James. "I get it, you don't love me," sabi ni James. "No.... I do," sabi ni Devon. "Then say it," sabi ni James, nakangiti. "I love you," Devon whispered. "I can't hear you," James said, grinning. "I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU JAMES REIDD!!!" sigaw ni Devon. "I heard you," sabi ni James. Then they shared a passionate kiss.
Si James naman ay basang basa. Hinahanap nya si Devon. Nang may makita syang tao sa waiting shed. Kinuha nya ang Ipod nya at ipinasok nya ang earphone sa tenga ni Devon. "Listen to this.

Chapter 6: Thunder
"Cupid, look at this amazing sight," sabi ni Cupidette sa kapatid. Si James nakayakap sa bewang ni Devon, at ang labi nya ay nakalapat sa noo ni Devon. Si Devon din ay nakayakap kay James at nakangiti sila pareho. Ang mga unan ay nasa lapag na. Si Devon ay nanaginip. Ang gaan ng pakiramdam nya. Parang ang saya saya nya.
Samantala, nagising na si Lauren. Ginising nya ang iba. "Let's unlock those two. We totally forgot about them," sabi ni Lauren sa iba. At binuksan na nila ang pinto. Nagulat sila sa itsura ng dalawa. Kumuha si Kyra ng camera at kinunan ang dalawa. "They look so cute," sabi ni Fretzie. "They're so peaceful. When they're asleep!" sabi ni Quen. He chuckled. Lumabas na sila.
Nagising si James sa mga boses nila. Nakita nyang yakap nya si Devon. Nung una, balak nya sanang itulak ito. Pero nagbago ang isip nya. "This feels really...right," isip ni James. Biglang nagising si Devon."May nakayap sa akin?" takang isip ni Devon. At nakita nya na ang may-ari ng kamay na nakayakap sa kanya ay walang iba kundi si James.
"Wow. Ngayon ko lang sya nakita ng ganitong kalapit. Ang ganda talaga ng mga mata nya," isip ni Devon. Biglang binuksan ni Fretzie ang pinto. At bigla rin nilang inilayo ang katawan sa isa't isa. "School's going to be interesting," isip ni Fretzie. Biglang pumasok si Quen sa kwarto. "We're going to be late. If you two don't hurry up, I will post these photos on the bulletin board," sabi ni Quen, at iwinagayway ang mga litrato ng dalawa. "Shit," sabi ni James. Nagmamadali silang dalawa. Buti na lang may dala silang damit. Sa pagmamadali nila, baligtad ang damit ni James at ang gulo ng buhok ni Devon. "Sumakay silang dalawa sa sasakyan ng walang imik. Pagdating nila sa school, may mga taong nagbubulungan at sumisilip sa kanila. "I think they posted the pictures," sabi ni Devon ng mahinang boses. Pumasok sila sa classroom nila at ganun pa rin ang nakita nila. Maraming nagbubulungan habang nakatingin sa kanila. "Congrats James," sabi ng isang geek. Akmang sasapakin ni James ang lalaki. "Leave him alone, idiot," sabi ni Devon. At nagsimula na naman silang mag-away. Sigawan na naman sila. "This is all you're fault!" sabi ni James. "My fault! My fault! Ha! Are you nuts!?" sabi ni Devon. "You..." sabi ni James. "I'm not yet finished. We're not even going out anyway. You shouldn't be angry," sabi ni Devon. "This is entertaining," sabi ni Cupid kay Cupidette habang kumakain ng popcorn. "This is like a movie," sabi ni Cupidette. "Why cheese sis? Caramel popcorn is better," sabi ni Cupid. "Shut up, stupid baby fat," sabi ni Cupidette. "If we're going out, I am not going to tell anybody. It's embarassing," sabi ni James. "You're the embarassing one, idiot," sabi ni Devon. Quen, Lauren, Fretzie, Kazel, Kyra and Ivan entered the room. They watched the scene with amusement. "But we're not going out," sabi ni Devon. "But it's still embarassing," sabi ni James. "Children, just admit it if you like each other," sabi ni Kazel, grinning. "I don't like her," sabi ni James. "I don't like him," sabi ni Devon. "Stop denying it. They say, 'the more you hate, the more you love', " singit ni Quen. "I'm out of this school!!" sigaw bigla ni Devon. At nagwalk-out sya. "She's......leaving!?" isip ni James. Then biglang kumulog ng malakas. "Devon...." sabi ni James. "What do you mean, Devon?" sabi ni Kyra. "She's.... she's afraid of thunder," sabi ni James at bigla nyang kunuha ang bag nya at tumakbo sa direksyon na pinuntahan ni Devon.
Samantala, nagising na si Lauren. Ginising nya ang iba. "Let's unlock those two. We totally forgot about them," sabi ni Lauren sa iba. At binuksan na nila ang pinto. Nagulat sila sa itsura ng dalawa. Kumuha si Kyra ng camera at kinunan ang dalawa. "They look so cute," sabi ni Fretzie. "They're so peaceful. When they're asleep!" sabi ni Quen. He chuckled. Lumabas na sila.

Chapter 5: The Blackout
"You should come to our movie night later. Bring Fretzie with you," sabi ni Kazel. "Are you sure I could come?" tanong ni Devon, unsure. "You could, definetely. Bring you're pajamas and necessities, us girls are going to have a sleepover at my house. Tell Fretzie to come too, mkay?" sabi ni Kazel.
DINGDONG!
The doorbell rrang. Binuksan ni Kazel ang pinto at pinapasok ang dalawa. "Why is that freak here?" James said. "Shut up James. She's my guest," sabi ni Kazel. Naupo sila sa mga bean bags at sa carpet. Maraming blankets at pillows na nakahanda. "Ignore James. He's really childish," sabi ni Quen kay Devon. "Hey! I thought you're my friend!" sabi ni James. "Sorry dude. We know how to treat pretty girls," Quen said. Ivan is asleep already. That man sleeps every available time. Biglang nawalan ng kuryente!
"Power's out," sabi ni Quen. Biglang naginig si Devon. "Where is the electrical box?" tanong ni Quen. "I'll show you," sabi ni Kazel. "I'll get the tool box," sabi naman ni Kyra. "I'll come with you," sabi ni Lauren. "I'll search for some flashlights," sabi ni Fretzie.Natatakot na si Devon. May fear kasi sya sa dark. "We could use some help here ma," sabi ni Cupidette. Sinira kasi nila ni Cupid yung electrical box. Tinago rin nila yung tool box at lahat ng flashlight, kandila, lighter at matches. Biglang kumidlat. "AAAAHHH!" sigaw ni Devon. Di pa rin nagising si Ivan. Masyadong mahimbing matulog ang isang yun. Pinanood lang ni James ang nanginginig na si Devon. At may bigla syang na-realize. Bigla nyang tinabihan si Devon. "What am I doing? I don't like her. We're not even friends," isip ni James. "Are you okay?" tanong ni James. Di makapagsalita si Devon sa takot. Inakbayan na lang sya ni James. "It's just a storm. Don't worry, it will pass. And besides, I'm here," sabi ni James. Inakbayan nya si Devon. "What the hell am I doing?? But this...this feels right," James thought. "Guys, I think you should see this," sabi ni Kyra. Ang kagigising lang na si Ivan, si James at si Devon ay sumilip sa binta. May mga sasakya, puno at poste na nakaharang sa labasan nila. They're stuck. "Let's play a game. So we won't be bored," sabi ni Fretzie. At biglang bumalik ang ilaw. "Let's play truth or dare!" sabi ni Quen. The others agreed. Ang naunang magtanong is si Kazel. "James, truth or dare," sabi ni Kazel. She smiled mischeviously. Yumuko lang si James. "Are you chicken," Quen taunted. "I AM NOT! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU CALLING CHICKEN!?" sabi ni James. "Truth," sabi ni James. "Totally chicken," sabi ni Lauren. "Fine...dare," sabi ni James. "Perfect," sabi ni Cupidette. She took an arrow and aimed it at Kazel. "I dare you...to let us lock you and Devon in a room," sabi ni Kazel. "WHAT!" sigaw nina James at Devon. Nagtawanan lang ang iba. "Lord, di naman marami ang kasalanan ko para gawin mo ito sa akin," isip ni Devon. "Why should I be stuck with a lunatic?" isip naman ni James. Pumasok sila sa kwarto. "I'll take the bed, you sleep on the floor," sabi ni James. "What!? I'm the girl, I should sleep on the bed. Be a man," sabi ni Devon. "No way," sabi ni James. "Yes way," sabi ni Devon. They continued for about 15 minutes, hanggang mawalan sila ng boses. "Fine, let's share the bed," sabi ni James. "No way! You might rape me or something," sabi ni Devon. "Don't flatter yourself. I'll put pillows on the middle," James said. Devon sighed. At humiga na rin sya sa kama.
DINGDONG!

Chapter 4: The Mystery Arrow and the War
Cupid's flashack....
"Hindi ito isang ordinaryong arrow of love. May special power ito. Wag na wag mong gagamitin to para sa kung saan-saan lang kung walang pahintulot ko," sabi ni Aphrodite. "Yes ma," ang tanging sagot ni Cupid
Present....
"I'm dead. Litsong Cupid ang labas ko nito."
PING! May little girl na may pakpak ang bigla na lang nasa tabi ni Cupid. "Anong ginagawa mo dito!?" tanong ni Cupid. "Dahil sa ka-engotan mo. Pinadala ako ni ma dito," sabi ng bata. "Si ma? Mission ko ito ah," sabi ni Cupid na nakasimangot. "Shut up baby fat," sabi ng bata. "Alam mo kainis ka talaga Cupidette," sabi ni Cupid sa kakambal.
Flashback...
Pinapanood ng mag-ina ang ginagawa ni Cupid sa lupa ng Mortal. "Cupid!!!!" sigaw ng ina ng makita ang ginawa ng anak. "Isang lechen arrow. Isa lang na kailangan nyang ipagpaalam, di nya pa nagawaaaa!!!" halos magmawala si Aphrodite. "Don't worry ma. Stupid yang si Cupid. Leave it all to me ma," sabi ni Cupidette.
Present...
"Ayan ang rason kaya andito ako," sabi ni Cupidette sa kapatid. At wala nang nagawa si Cupid.
Nagkita na ulit finally sina James at Devon. Panay asaran, irapan, apakan at batukan ang naganap. Ayaw magpatalo sa isa't isa. "You....you annoying virgin!" sigaw ni James kay Devon. Nasa loob sila ng van ng family ni Ivan at nagtatalo sila pinaka likod. "You stupid jerk," sabi naman ni Devon. "You flat chested woman!" sabi ni James. "I am not flat-chested. While you on the other hand have no balls. Being rude to a woman is not how a man should act," sabi ni Devon. "She got that right," sabay na sabi nina Lauren, Kazel, Kyra at Fretzie. Tawa lang ang mga lalaki. Nakipag-usap na lang si Devon kay Fretzie at Kyra. Pero inaasar pa rin sya ni James. "Cupid, ganyan ba palagi si James kay Devon?" tanong ni Cupidette sa kapatid. "Yeah...." sabi ni Cupid. Ngumiti si Cupidette sa kapatid. "Boys...." sabi nya with an eye-roll. "See how she dress? She looks so low-class. Trying hard," sabi ni James ng malakas. "That's it! I had enough! You stupid, annoying, childish person. I had enough of you. Apologize to me RIGHT NOW!" sabi ni Devon. "Why should I apologize?" sabi ni James. "Apologize James," sabi ni Lauren. "But--" protesta ni James. "Why should I?" sabi ni James, proudly. "Cause you're a jerk?" sabi ni Devon. "I am not a jerk. You're just plain annoying," sabi ni James. "You're nutcase!" sabi ni Devon. "That's it! THIS-IS-WAR!" sabi ni James. "Here's our stop," sabi ni Fretzie. "Thanks for the ride guys," sabi ni Devon at bumababa na sila ni Fretzie. "I seriously hate that jerk," isip ni Devon.
"Hindi ito isang ordinaryong arrow of love. May special power ito. Wag na wag mong gagamitin to para sa kung saan-saan lang kung walang pahintulot ko," sabi ni Aphrodite. "Yes ma," ang tanging sagot ni Cupid

Chapter 3: Yeah, Cupid is Stupid
"Stupid woman," sabi ng nakabunggo nya. Nakita nya ang nakabunggo sa kanya. Isa itong lalaki, matangkad, maputi, at may kulay tsokolate na mata. "I'm waiting..." sabi nito. "Waiting for what?" sabi ni Devon. "For your apology, stupid," sabi ng lalaki. "I won't apologize. You're the one who bumped to me," sabi ni Devon sa lalaki. Mataas kasi ang pride ni Devon. "Inaaway mo na ang subject ko ha," isip ni Cupid. Kumuha sya ng arrow at shinoot ang kaaway ni Devon. "James, let it go, she's new here," sabi ng isang babae na kalase ni Devon kanina. James continued to glare at her. Umalis na sya para hanapin ang susunod nyang klase. Nakita nya uli sa hallway ang babaeng tumulong sa kanya kanina. Nilapitan nya ito. "Thank you. For saving me from....whats-his-name guy.... I owe you," sabi ni Devon sa babae. "Don't worry about that. I'm Kyra by the way," sabi ng babae at inilahad ang kamay nya. "I'm Devon," sabi ni Devon and she shook Kyra's hands. "I'm half-Filipina so I can speak tagalog. Wag mo nang intindihin si James," sabi ni Kyra. Nagulat sya sa galing ng panana-galog ni Kyra.
Kay Cupid......
"Ba't walang nangyayari sa James na yun? Uh-oh...." isip ni Cupid.
Back to Devon...
"He's not polite to newbies but he's a real nice guy once you get to know him," sabi ni Kyra. "Parang di naman," isip ni Devon, pero di nya sinabi. "Andito na pala yung friend ko," sabi ni Kyra. May mga lumapit sa kanila. "This is Ivan, Quen, Lauren and Kazel. Guys, this is Devon, she's new here," sabi ni Kyra. "Nice to meet you guys," sabi ni Devon. "Nice to meet you too," sabi nila. They seems nice naman. The the bell rang. "WE ARE LATE FOR HISTORY!!!" sabi ni Devon. Quen chuckled. "We're not late. Everyone is just....early," sabi nito. "We're late, for 3 minutes," sabi ni Devon, nagpa-panic. "We own this school. Me, Ivan, Lauren, Kyra and another guy," sabi ni Quen. "You're our friend now, so consider this as one of your perks," sabi ni Lauren. Nalaglag ang panga ni Devon sa bigla. Pumasok sila sa loob at walang sinabi ang teacher nila. "You can sit with us Devon," sabi ni Kazel. Laglag panga na lang ang mga babaeng nanginsulto sa kanya kanina.
Cupid....
Chineck nya ang mga arrow nya. 'Gawin palaka, gawin unggoy, madapa, gawin dwarf....." pero nakita nya ang nawawalang arrow. "Pataaaayyyyyy...." isip nya.

Chapter 2: How The Two Met
"Devon!" sigaw ng isang babae. "Fretzie!" sigaw ni Devon. Tumakbo sya at niyakap ang babae. Ito ay isa sa mga best friend nya since bata sya. Dito na nag-aaral si Fretzie. "You must be tired," sabi ni Fretzie. Tinulungan nya itong dalhin ang mga gamit sa sasakyan. At pumunta na sila sa tinitirhan ni Fretzie.
Samantala....
"Kailangan makahanap ng lover tong si superstar," isip ni Cupid. Nag-ikot ikot sya sa area nina Fretzie.
"I enrolled you at Jade High already," Fretzie said. "Jade High? Bakit?" Devon said, confused. "You're manager requested that I should enroll you," Fretzie said. "WHAT!? I thought this is a vacation," Devon said. "Sorry Devon. I didn't know. But he has a letter for you. And don't worry, para naman sa mayayaman ang school na yun," sabi ni Fretzie. Inabot ni Fretzie ang sulat ng manager ni Devon.
Devon,
You have to study. Para naman may matutunan ka. You always say that you want to continue your studies. Here, you're a senior high school there.
Your manager
Fretzie started giggling. "Ba't ka naman tumatawa dyan," sabi ni Devon. "I remembered when we were in grade school. Ang geeky mo noon. Ngayon, ibang-iba ka na," sabi ni Fretzie with a smile. "Siguro nga on the outside iba na ako, but not on the inside," sabi ni Devon. And she started a pillow fight.
"WAKEY WAKEY!" sabi ni Fretzie brightly. "Five more minutes ma," sabi ni Devon sleepily. "I'm not your mom.And you're going to be late. It's your first day pa naman," sabi ni Fretzie, at binuksan nya ang bintana para pumasok ang liwanag. Minulat ni Devon ang mata. She blinked as she saw her surroundings. "Oo nga pala. School," isip ni Devon. She took a shower, prepared herself and changed into a simple shirt, a jeans and sneakers. Schoolmates sila ni Fretzie. 5 minutes lang ang layo nila sa school. Nagmamadali silang umalis. Di nila alam nasa likod lang pala nila si Cupid. "Ow," sabi ni Cupid, rubbing his reddening nose. "Kung di lang ako papagalitan ni mom," sabi ni Cupid sa sarili.
"Math agad, first lesson after homeroom," sabi ni Devon. "Bakit ba ang daming classes," isip ni Devon. "Stupid. School is equal classes. Talaga naman. Mababaliw na ako.," isip ni Cupid, rolling his eyes. He took out his insanemomether at inilagay sa kili-kili nya. Tumunog ito ang ang nakasulat ay 'You're not insane. Not yet.'
Pumasok si Devon, a bit late. Di kasi sila classmates sa class na ito. "Who are you?" their teacher, Miss White asked. "I'm Devon. Devon Seron," sabi nya. "Take a seat Devon," sabi ng teacher nila sabay turo sa isang bakanteng upuan. "....Trying to be fashionably late," narinig nyang sabi ng isang babae. "...her LV backack looks so cheap. I bet it's fake," sabi pa ng isa. 100% real ang bag nya. She even bought it in Milan. Pero di na nya pinatulan ang mga ito. Liningon nalang nya at tumigil din sila. "Ahh, ganun ha," isip ni Cupid. Kumuha sya ng curse arrow at sapul ang mga babaeng nagchi-chismisan about Devon. Dumami ang pimples nila. Pagtingin nila sa salamin ay nagsigawan sila kaya binigyan sila ng detention ng teacher. After ng class ay nagmamadali syang lumabas para hanapin ang classroom ng susunod nyang lesson ng BAM! May nabunggo sya.

Chapter 1: The 'Vacation' Starts Now
Sa Palace of the Gods
"Cupid!!!Cupiiiiiiid!" tawag ni Aphrodite, ang goddess of love sa anak. "Opo mom," sabi ni Cupid sa ina. "Lumapit ka nga dito," sabi ni Aphrodite, halatang galit. "Uh-oh," isip ni Cupid. Lumapit sya. Then SLAP! "Eh, mom. Akala ko ba goddess of love ka?" sabi ni Cupid with sarcasm. "Nakalimutan mo na naman yung mission mo. Buti pa si Cupidette!" sigaw ng ina ni Cupid. Cupid rolled his eyes. "I saw that!" sigaw ni Aphrodite. Binato nya si Cupid ng lightning bolt na hiniram nya kay Zeus. "Sige, pumunta ka na sa Land of the Mortals at gawin mo yung mission mo dun!" sabi ni Aphrodite.
HEADLINE: Devon Seran, malaki na ang ulo?
"Bakit ba palagi na lang ako ang nakikita nila!?" sabi ni Devon sa manager nya. "Syempre, no. 1 actress ka. You have a teleserye AND a movie coming out soon. People likes to read things about you," sabi ng manager nya. Devon shrugged. "Alis muna ako. Magpapahangin lang," sabi ni Devon at lumabas na sya ng building. At anduon na naman ang mga reporters sa labas ng building. "Devon, totoo ba na kayo na ni Sam?" tanong ng isa. "Totoo ba na buntis ka?" tanong naman ng isa. "No comment," sabi nya at tumakbo sya. Good thing hindi sya naka-heels.
Pagbalik nya sa building, kinausap nya ang manager nya. "I DEMAND A VACATION! Away from all of this, or else I will quit," Devon said. Walang nagawa ang manager nya kundi sumangayon. Halata namang stressed si Devon eh.
Devon decided to go Australia. Matagal na nyang gustong pumunta dun. The next day, nag-empake agad sya at bumili ng ticket. Pagbaba nya sa airport ng Australia, huminga sya ng malalim. "Peace, finally," isip nya. "Australia, I'm here. Relaxation time!" isip ni Devon.
