"Where is it?!", Claudia brings her joyful self back just to cover the pain.

"By the river. Come on!", Azazel pulls Claudia over.

No matter how much Claudia tease him, their friendship remained the same. No hurt feelings. But, it's different to Maverick. Since Serenity rejected him, he becomes someone else. He argues with Maverick, but this time it's different.

"Woah! They're really cute!", said Princess Evandale.

"Yes!", Serenity agrees.

Azazel sits by the tree trunk. He now noticed that Maverick was still not around. Think back to it, Maverick walk away from him just now.

"Mave, could you stop making shame of yourself?", Azazel asked him.

"What do you mean?"

"Stop chasing over her. How can you're not happy by seeing her happy?"

"Happy? Me? No! Not until I get her!"

"Are you dumb? This is not Maverick that I use to know! Is love change you this much?!"

"Yes, it did! And I'll do anything for it and not even you can stop me!"
