Amaya decided to take the lead on the next thing on her and Taiyo's expedition of the spirit festival. She was still thinking about the Pumpkin craving festivity. She remembering the very words Hotaru spoke of with giving her blessing of a bright future with Taiyo in a marriage with many kids. She looked at the night sky in deep thought. Taiyo was her future right? He was all she knew and what she accepted and wanted as no one else could take his place. Right? She couldn't think of a time when the thought of the future being anything more then friends was distant, now she is his girlfriend, just like that? She soon found herself lost in deep thought of her relationship with Taiyo and Hotaru's blessing, soon snapping back to reality, nearly running into group of passersby, stopping herself just in time before looking around finding herself at the back of a crowding place for the designated Costume contest. [break][break] She watched the stage from afar allowing flashbacks of sitting on her father's shoulders, feeling his reassuring hand on her legs, keeping Amaya secured on his shoulder over looking the crowds infront watching the various males and females on stage showing off their outfits. [break][break] Amaya shaked the strange thought from her head feeling her forehead, why was it now that small memories were flairing up? She knew why and it was something she didn't want to have to deal with once again as she did every year. Part of her wanted to miss the upcoming obligation, however her heart and soul knew better then to reject a Promise she made to the unknown of her memories. She was here to enjoy the festival as she always had and nothing seemed hard to do, however, this years festival seemed to really bring up something in herself, something she kept locked away deep inside. She closed her eyes before clinging her chest, right over her heart. Calming her heartbeat, allowing the world and all those thoughts and memories trying to claw their way back to the front of her mind. [break][break]

Taiyo Vermillion - My Burning Passion is to be the Best!
Having been slapped by his girlfriend and later being told by another woman that she would make that slap feel like a gentle tap in comparison wasn’t helping the evening for the young Vermillion heir, Taiyo Vermillion. He wanted to go home but he knew how important the event was for his girlfriend so he buried that down and brought out one of his very bright smiles as he walked behind Amaya to the beauty contest area. He saw when she accidentally almost walked into the people. He was going to stop her but he didn’t need to since she did it herself. The beauty contest stood right in front of them. A small smile appeared on Taiyo’s lips. Getting Iris, Leona and Lucia to dress up for the last one was great. What a time that was. That was back when Cyra was still around. Speaking of Cyra, he missed her a lot. The bird spirit loved perching on his head and now that she was gone, it felt like something was always missing. Was it because when he attempted to get in sync with her while sparring with Leona, it failed? Was it because she viewed him as weak? Did he not give her all the time and attention she needed? Why did she just up and leave him like that, especially without saying anything. Did it have anything to do with how he felt about other people? These were things he thought about when he allowed his mind to get too quiet. The smile he had faded as his mind wandered all the way to these thoughts. Those thoughts even evolved into something he never brought up to anyone before but he quickly shut those thoughts down. He didn’t want to think about that!
Snapping out of his mindscape, he noticed that Amaya looked like she was deep in thought about something important as well. Could it be what Hotaru said to them? Was it what Hotaru said to him before they decided to go where they were? Was it something that she remembered from the event in the years she went? Whatever it was, he didn’t want to disturb her. After she shook her head and felt her forehead, he then saw her close her eyes and had her hand clutching her chest. Was she having a heart attack? ”Are you okay?” He was concerned about her.
What they needed was to do something new. That’s when a new idea popped in his head. ”Amaya; I was thinking about the beauty contest and I think it’d be great for you to compete this time around. You don’t have to but I think you’d be great.” He smiled as he imagined her on that stage. He was very aware that this wasn’t her thing but he also knew she was trying to get out of her shell and try new things and this would be perfect for her. WC: 501 TWC: 4,134
Amaya calmed down the voices of her past upon hearing Taiyo, using her want to focus on something else. "Yes, I am fine...A feeling snuck up on me and really stirred up a memory of one Spirit festival when I was 6. It was so vivid and real to me. This festival is very important to me for many reasons. My most precious memories before coming to live with Hania. It was one I haven't ever thought of. I was high above everyone on my father's shoulders. I always loved seeing the costume contest and all the ideas and beautiful fashion and material. " She spoke looking forward in fondness at the stage as the contest workers got the next contest set up. "When it came to events, being a child was something I wasn't really, given a chance to be. His words are so clear and concrete in my mind. Someday, I will be the only one on the stage, all eyes will be on me and my words will ring to all ears." she spoke closing her eyes "That I am a Ravencrest and beside me will be the one who will lead our family into much higher standing and be the strength we need. To remember my place and the standing all is below me" She spoke the last part in a whispered shaking her head slowly in disbelief of the memory "Just an odd one I never remembered for 12 years now" She spoke opening her eyes turning towards him. [break][break] She wasn't fond of stages, she wasn't fond of crowds. She wasn't fond of people judging her. Their possible thoughts good bad and ever the dread strange. She personally wanted to not do the costume contest but the oddity of the sudden memory of her father and this contest. Was it a sign? She looked up at the sky in quick thought, hoping for an answer. Feeling a invisible tap on her shoulder caused her to jump slightly, snapping her mind back to the decision at hand as she looked around herself confused. [break][break] Well, there was the answer? She wasn't sure what taped her shoulder but it seemed familiar. Turning her attention back towards Taiyo "Alright, Alright, I will try this...I am not gonna guarantee a win or anything." She said. Every fiber of her body said not to do the contest but with the strange thoughts and the sensation of a sudden tap on her shoulder, she couldn't bring herself to refuse as she normally would. She needed to get over her anxiety of the stage and being infront of crowds. She just hoped she was going to not freak herself out mentally. "Yes, lets go. If I am getting on this stage, your joining with me Taiyo." She teased taking ahold of his hand before she moved closed moving his arm around her shoulder before pulling him along into the crowd. [break][break] Focus, stay calm, Stand straight. These are important things to remember how to hold yourself when infront of others, such slacking is not meant for young ladies. rang a voice of a stern male voice in her head. He isn't here...This is your choice...Deep breaths, you got this.. Thought the girl drowning out the voice in her head focusing on the matter ahead as she pushed through the growing crowd heading to the registration table. She went about the motions without a thought, going with the natural motion signing both herself and Taiyo up as if guided by an invisible influence. "Lets go this way." She Spoke following the stage hand as instructed on to the stage. [break][break] She adjusted her overall appearance as she walked on to the stage, ensuring a strand of hair was not out of place, she straightened each and every layer of her skirt and every fold within the see through shawl resting in the crooks of her elbows. seemingly not affected at the moment with the gathering crowd.

Taiyo Vermillion - My Burning Passion is to be the Best!
Seeing that Amaya was lost in thought, Taiyo asked her if she was okay. He was worried about her and wondered what was going on in her head. She responded to him letting know that she was okay and that she was remembering something from when she was six and at the festival with her parents. She was reminiscing about her life with her family before moving in with Hania. This was the first time she ever brought up her family which was something Taiyo didn’t expect. She kept that stuff hidden and buried deep down. He could somewhat empathize with that since there were many things that people wouldn’t want to bring up especially if something happened that was bad. Just like her, he had so many things he kept hidden from the world. He didn’t even want to think of them or process them. He just didn’t know how to and so for him it was easier to just pretend that the problems never existed. He looked at her with a light smile as she spoke of being on her father’s shoulders and looking from above everyone else. She liked the beauty contest and seeing the different materials of fashion used. That was normal for girls, he guessed. He wasn’t exactly so interested in fashion or materials. She then continued to speak from the memory of her father who practically told her that the event was below her. Taiyo would naturally have gotten angry due to that since it would be an insult to those who put all their effort into getting the event done but getting angry wouldn’t accomplish anything. Instead, he held her hand and rubbed her knuckles softly.
Having suggested that Amaya should be a part of the beauty contest, not that she had to do it if she didn’t want to but he thought she’d do great in it, she decided to try it out. She also told him that she wasn’t guaranteeing a win. Taiyo didn’t care about if she won or not but he wanted to see her do things and explore areas she normally wouldn’t. Getting her out of her comfort zone was something that would probably benefit her for the future. He had faith in her. ”You don’t have to guarantee the win because no matter what the judges say, you’re the winner of my heart. You’re gorgeous!” Right after she said that they were going to do it together. If she was going to be doing it then so would he. His signature grin found its way to his face. ”Alright! Let’s do it!” With her pulling him along with her, he focused on walking with her. When they got to the registration table, she signed them both up. It was at the time that it was made explicitly clear that there was no gender division and that everyone was in one group. Even so, Taiyo was not backing down. His girlfriend was going to be brave for him so this was a good sacrifice.
As they were told to go on stage, Taiyo walked on stage after her and waited for the announcer to kick it off. When it started, the other contestants showed off their outfits with a bit of style. It was his turn to do the same. He used the time to showcase his outfit and his physique. He could only hope that that would secure him a good spot. Amaya hadn’t gone yet but he was betting on her to win. He didn’t mind being second or not placing at all but he was sure that Amaya had it in her to win. WC: 627 TWC: 4,761
Amaya smiled adjusting her outfit on stage standing in the coordinated spot before slowly closing her eyes. She need to focus her mind on anything other then the crowd at the edge of the stage standing below them looking up. She opened her eyes turning her head to taiyo and the others. She focused on his words and actions before stepping foot on the stage. The confidence and the bright smile on his face. one that always made her confident. Her left hand rested on top of her right behind her back, gently along the tips of her fingers to run over her knuckles before looking back towards the crowd. In her nature, she has always had a knack for drawing eyes to her and tonight was no different. [break][break] She allowed a gentle slow and fun loving self to be seen choosing to do a very simple twirl, allowing the flowing material of her skirt to flow like fluid in its shades from white to a really dark blue. the light beads and bells of the small gold acescents jiggled with its own applause. Being on a stage, above crowds with out a thought really felt good, much like seeing a old friend after losing contact for who knows how long. Her hair flowed freely beneath the headdress's thin veil, accompanying the fluid twists and turns of the dress and sash's own glow within the twists and turns. [break][break] She stopped in one swift but elegant moment ion allowing her hands to fall to her sides with her dares, straightening it while allowing it to rest in flawless rest of neatness and elegance. She turned towards taiyo and the others keeping her smile upon her face in quite thought before snapping her train of thought towards the announcer [break][break] "Ladies and Gentlemen! Thankyou all for coming to the Spirit festival costume contest. Tough pick of choices. As much as we want all to win and enjoy, it wouldn't be much of a contest. By careful consideration of each and every opponent upon the stage they had managed to slim their choices down to one Soul winner. Give your best round of applause for The contest's winner, Amaya Ravencrest!" The judge announced as Amaya watched the crowd give their cheers and proper applause. [break][break]
"Oh I won..."She said in a bit of surprise blushing some in acknowledgement of the Praises as she smiled giving her best small wave before moving over to Taiyo "Thankyou for getting me up here Taiyo..."She spoke to her companion, grabbing ahold of his hand with a smile "I think that should be the last of our activates, Lets get something to eat and head home, I have really loved tonight with you and the others. " She spoke looking up at him
