<strong><em>Wheee - Elijah and Maddi and...</em></strong><br/><br/>Standing there looking at Kira, Elijah realized what an emotional roller coaster was all about.  he had thought he had known before, but now he realized that what he had known could not compare.  Was it only ten minutes ago that he and Maddi, full of the carefree attitudes of new lovers, washed each other, made love in the lagoon and then washed each other again, reveling in the bliss of discovering each others' sexual joys and growing all that much closer?  And now, a few minutes and a few hundred yards away, Elijah faced his shame.  So strong was it, that despite his refusing to let go of Maddi's hand, he actually found himself involuntarily hiding behind her.
