"Sinbad, why are you here? Why do you intrude my dream?"

"As rude as usual, Maeve! It's been a long time since we last seen each other and you just have to throw a bucket of sea water on me rather than greeting me with opened arms?"

"Sinbad! For the last time..."

"Okay! Okay! Fine! Put that fire ball away. So the thing is...uhm...I found you, I mean your body. You are having a rather long sleep and the only way to wake you up is finding your soul and giving you a true kiss."

"Sinbad, either you are reading too much of "sleeping beauty" or this is a trick aims at vulnerable innocent and pure girls like me.

"This is Dim Dim's idea and please, there's no need to describe and insult yourself with such vulgar words. Seriously! Hold on Maeve! I told you not to use that fire ball. And now... are you gonna let me kiss you and return to the ship or are you gonna sit here and play with that fireball for the rest of your life?"

"Sinbad, today is Valentine's Day at my hometown."

"And...?"

"People celebrate love on this day and according to tradition...uhm...people will...er...give gifts to each other so here...uhm...

"For me? A new sabre. It's beautiful, Maeve. Thanks! And uh....why are you...looking at me like that?

"Oh c'mon Sinbad! Where's your manner? Of course I'm expecting you to return the favor."

"But it's too sudden, Maeve. I'm unprepared... or...what say if I gift myself to you?

"Please stop flashing your teeth. I'm not impressed. And sorry Sinbad, no offense but I don't want to receive a gift used by some others multiple times before."

"Not fun, Maeve. Not fun at all!

"Remind me again, why are we up on the yard of the mast at MIDNIGHT like this?

"Sinbad! shhhh...didn't I tell you that I need to collect pure sea dew for my new spell?

"And... what's it got to do with me?

"Absolutely nothing. Just that I don't want to be the only one suffering from sleep loss."

"What nonsense is this?!....I'm climbing down!!!!... Damnit...Who cut the rope?"

"Gone with the wind~!"

"I'm not stupid, Maeve. And don't be full of yourself just yet. I've got a backup rope right behind the mast. You'll see...!"

"Oh you mean... that lump on the deck.floor.down.there?"

"For the last time, Maeve! DO NOT keep me here!"

"Don't yell, Sinbad! You look ridiculous. Besides, I'm not keeping you here, it's just that Fate decides to tie you up with me... Yes! Yes! be a good boy and just sit down like that. How cute !"

~*~

"This is ridiculous, Sinbad! How could I be running up on the deck with a rope tying around my waist connecting to YOURS?"

"Stop struggling, Maeve. You will listen to me and you will do as I said because this is a captain's order. Understand?"

"Have I ever obeyed any of your ridiculous command?"

"No! But the only time you did and I lost you for two long years. Mistakes will not be repeated. And if you keep insisting that you will not be sitting still in the cabin while there's a raging storm out there then at least, listen to me and do not get me distracted with your safety. Please, Maeve!"

"Oh...fine. But the first person who dares laughing at me will be grilled. Understand?

"Your wish is my command!"

~*~

"Maeve? Are your free?"

"I'm rather busy researching a spell, Sinbad. Anything important?"

"Ah...no! I just want to have a small talk with you but if you're.."

"Please sit down, Sinbad! It's probably very important since you're all nervous with sweats.I can bare a few minutes, you know!"

"It's nothing, really. It's just that...I'm...as the captain, representing for all sailors...would like to...er....give a small suggestion on...uhm...as you already know...no, no, not that...I mean, as far as I know, women...er...uhm...uh....er...have that time of the month when they become easily irritated. Given that circumstance though, I think we should keep the situation under control."

"I don't get what you're trying to tell me."

"Uhm...I mean...Maeve...er...mean...it's not that I'm saying you're scary nor you're ill-tempered but could you please treat my sailors kinder?

"Sinbad, you're wasting my time. Either you explain now or I'm gonna turn you into a frog."

"See! You're doing that again! Bullying people when they do something you don't like. Accounting statistic has stated that of all twenty sailors in my ship, seven of them have been turned into frogs. You don't need them to pull the sails but I DO and this cannot conti-...ribbit...ribbit....ribbit"

"Sinbad. This apple tart with wine smells really good."

"..."

"Pour a few honey drops to arouse the smell!"

"..."

"And that roast chicken too. Uhm...smell delicious!"

"..."

"And if we eat it together with-"

"Maeve!!! For the last time. I'm not allowed to either eat or drink till sunset. So please, stop with that silly act already!"

"Well it's not my fault that I'm not Muslim and celebrate the Ramadan!"

"No, it's certainly not! But IT IS your fault for purposely bringing all that food in front of me. And for Allah's sake, your food made Doubar faint with a watery mouth!

"This is it. This angry expression of you knowing fully well that there's nothing you can do to protest is so cute. And since I have nothing better to do with my time, I'm just gonna sit here, taste the good food and entertain myself with the scene that you make."

"#%$@#%$^ !!!"

"Sinbad... Can I ask you something?"

"What?"

"Is it difficult to love me? Why didn't you choose someone with a less complicating background? Someone who does not have a brother turned into a hawk, someone who does not have an arch enemy as a black witch, someone who does not threaten to turn your sailors into frogs or grill them when she's upset?"

"Because it would be quite boring...Ouch! Maeve! It hurts! Ouch! Don't pinch! I'm just kidding! I mean it...naturally came, Maeve. Like a ship meeting the sea, and like the wind dancing on the waves. I don't know when but I do know that loving you is the easiest thing I have ever done. I love your past, present, future and everything about you even if you're quite bothersome"

"Well, the sea breeze sure is cold... but it's nothing compared to your words. It made me shiver!"

"Now that breaks my heart! How cruel of you to trick me into this cheesy mood then throw a bucket of sea water on me?!"

"Nah! Don't be! If it makes you feel better...uhm...I love you too because you're just as bothersome as me!"

"What? Bothersome? Who? Me? Seriously?!"

"Yes! Don't play dumb, Sinbad! You hear me, we'll make a matching bothersome couple and it sounds perfect!"

"Maeve! Happy birthday"

"Oh Sinbad! How surprising... And here I thought you guys claimed that there's nothing to celebrate when a person is one year older..."

"Well I guess the benefit of one being a sailor is you get to know a lot of different cultures. Now come here, cut your birthday cake!"

"Oh you even have a birthday cake? How lovely!"

"Here! Your cake slice! And uhm...CHEW it carefully and er...enjoy the feeling!"

"Your words are quite strange, Sinbad..."

"I just want to wish you enjoy the cake. So how is it? Feel anything yet?"

"Anything is what thing?

"No! No!...don't mind me, keep eating!"

"You're strange, very strange, Sinbad! You couldn't have poisoned the cake, could you? Uh-oh...Don't turn pale! I'm just kidding, Sinbad!"

"Im-impossible! You ate all of the cake..."

"So?"

"F..Firouz! You didn't put in the cake what-I-told-you-to-put-in?

"Of course I did, Sinbad!"

"Sinbad! Hold on! What did you put in the cake?"

"The proposal ring, Maeve! I asked Firouz to put in the ring."

"...You....you m-mean...the ring is in the cake?"

"Yes!"

"And the cake is inside my stomach?"

"Yes...!"

"And to get the ring out I have to...have to..."

"Er...y.. yes..."

"Sinbad! I'm so gonna grill you! Get off my hands, Rongar! Doubar! I have to grill him!"

~*~

"Maeve... are you still mad at me?"

"Uhm!"

"Is it about the ring...?"

"Uhm!"

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! I didn't think you would swallow it..."

"Uhm!"

"So will you forgive me?"

"Uhm!"

"Is it...'uhm' yes or 'uhm' no?"

"It means if you keep blabbering about this, I'm so gonna grill you on the spot and throw your ash into the sea. Got it?"

"But I'm really sincere, Maeve! Look! I washed the ring thoroughly and I promise, it won't smell! See? Maeve! Maeve! I'm kidding! Just kidding! How many times have I told you not to bring the fireball into our discussion?!"

"Fine! If you don't want to be grilled, I'm gonna turn you into a goldfish and gift you to Rumina as a pet!"

"Look Maeve! You wouldn't have the heart to...Not after you see this..."

"Oh Sinbad! This diamond ring is even bigger and shinier than the last one!"

"You like it?"

"Yes...oh yes..."

"Forgive me?

"Yes!"

"Is it a yes for that as well?"

"That? What's "that" that you're asking me?"

"The ring, Maeve. I thought you'd understand. Oh well, just to save the bloods and tears like last experience...I'll be more direct this time. Look, I'm not good with flowery words so uhm... I love you so much. Will you marry me?"

"I love you too, Sinbad. Of course I'd say yes. You don't have to ask!"

"B-but you just said..."

"Shut up and kiss me!"

"Your wish is my command!"

[Doubar]

Woohoo, another new fic. You guys are totally spoiling us these days. ;D

I'm sure this an awesome piece and will give it a read as soon as I can. However, I gotta read Ban's story first and some other works that are on my list... but I'll get back to this one as soon as I can. The summary at any rate sounds great. ;D O

Ooh, and lovely banner for the fic btw!

[Eric/Deamus]

first of all i soooo love the banner so so much ;D ;D ;D and this a new unusual idea and writing style as well
and then i want to tell you i couldn't just stop laughing as i was reading it

i so loved this one and laughed as crazy one when read it:

Accounting statistic has stated that of all twenty sailors in my ship, seven of them have been turned into frogs. You don't need them to pull the sails but I DO and this cannot conti-...ribbit...ribbit....ribbit"

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
and he sounded here as Firouz ;D ;D ;D

and the one of Ramadan is priceless ;D ;D ;D ;D poor Sinbad & Doubar and others who were fasting
and when she ate the whole cake hahahahaaaaaaaaaaa you make me imagine one gourmand Maeve ;D ;D ;D ;D i mean she beats Doubar here ;D ;D how could she finished the whole cake even before Sinbad finished his talk, not to mention that she gulped it without even feel the wedding ring that suppose to be with a diamond ;D ;D ;D

this fiction is priceless Maevezanar i so like it, well done honey

[maevezanar]

Thanks for the comment Teti. As for Maeve beating Doubar... well, Maeve probably is just overwhelmed with happiness and surpise. I mean she's been on board with the crews for some years and away from her hometown. Of course she'd miss the tradition. Also the crew would make a small cake for her since she's the only one enjoy it. They celebrate her birthday because it's Sinbad's idea and her sake, not that they truly want to so they wouldn't enjoy the cake. He He.

I also love the frog one as well when I was writing it. Poor Sinbad, torturing himself and putting his life on stake by loving a hot tempered sorceress.

[Eric/Deamus]

Aw you're welcome my friend
well i know she isn't really beating him ,, i was just kidding ;D ;D
but i think too it would be small one, the cake,,,, but imagine not soooo small either i mean one that may be cut on 3 or 4 pieces,,,,, may be 2 at least,, because they won't bake a very small one that can be for only one person i think baking would be hard for sailors so they will make small one yet not way too small
and i imagine they may be interested to taste it as from new different culture,,, Maeve certainly destroyed their dream ;D i know she is so happy and i don't blame her as that what exactly i'm doing myself ;D ;D ;D ;D but i so understand how she is feeling, yeahhh
however Jacki always showed to be delicate and gentle while eating in the show,, she took small bits,,, so here if she really finished it before Sinbad finished his talk even if it was one piece i imagine her opening big mouth to tale large piece,, and in 3 to 4 times only she finished it,,, she even didn't chew it well ;D ;D ;D

hahaha yeah the frog one is great,, but honey it's L'amour
i remember him saying once during S1 "no one is over love, big brother, no one" or something like that in The islet of Bliss ep he admitted it then

[maevezanar]

oh well, the original idea is that the cake is a normal one and Sinbad or Firouz will cut and divide the cakes into small pieces. He will then give Maeve the one that he knows the ring is in and when Maeve eats all of that slice, he becomes panicked knowing that this is the one and if she doesn't feel anything, then she had swallowed it.
I probably confuse you guys at some point, he he, writing all dialogue fic is hard cuz I don't know if the message is fully conveyed.

[Doubar]

Awwwww, my gosh, haha, this is so sweet and funny. LOL! That sailor certainly didn't take the easy road with falling in love with this sorceress. Haha, but that's quite exactly how I could picture their relationship to be on sunny and carefree days.
Oh gosh, how mean of Maeve though to taunt Sinbad like that. And she made Doubar faint. Ow, that's almost too mean of her eating delicious food right in front of the guys when she knows exactly they're fasting. But then again, out on the open seas in calm waters, what else is there to do? xD
Haha, and her turning the crew into frogs. Bwahaha, now for some reason I could totally picture her doing that. Very amusing thought indeed!
And last but not least the cake thing. Haha, poor Sinbad. Here is going all romantic (as much as he can anyway), hiding an engagement ring in the cake for her to find and what he gets is a furiously mad Maeve. That was ill luck, really. xP
All in all a highly enjoyable story that I really liked reading. Thanx a lot for writing and sharing!

(note: I left the same review on ff.net for ya )

[banmaixanh]

"365 days loving you" - You gave it the very romantic name but the story.....!!!!! I have no comment except laughing. Haha. What Maeve told about herself "innocent " and "pure" Oh god, she made me sick with her thought. Hhahaa. Sinbad wasn't wrong when he said she insulted herself. ;D ;D ;D I like the way you pictured Maeve here. I have so many time imagine her to be like that but the way you described her is much better than my imagination. And yes, the cake!!! Oh poor Sinbad. If I were him I would kill Maeve because of her gluttony.
And even most of them are the humorous moments (except one is a bit romantic but Maeve wrecked it before Sinbad started being soppy.) but still very romantic in its own way.
Very happy to see you write AOS fic again.

And I read the Vietnamese version on your blog too. I don't know if it's because I read the English version first or else but I prefer the English version over the Vietnamese one.

Ah, one more thing. Beautiful banner for this one.

And the last thing: Will you write other 36500 days? Hehe. I just joke.

[maevezanar]

Tiakisu: Thanks for leaving the comment at ff.net too. How thoughtful ! I'm glad you felt entertained with Sinbad's poor idea of hiding the proposal ring in the cake. But then again, he shouldn't be blamed for something that he has never seen one doing in Muslim society. Ha Ha.

Ban: Lol, the fic title is supposed to lure you guys in and I'm glad it serves its purpose. (Tiếng Việt mình gọi là 'lừa tình'). There's another AoS fic in my blog. Don't know if you already read it. The remade version of my old fic and is in vietnamese.

I could totally write more of this 365 days. You can give me the idea and I'll think of what I can do with it. Don't have to be in details, mostly it will like the drabble theme such as "flower", "insect", "sea wind" etc. Something random.

Again, thanks for the comment.

[Eric/Deamus]

meeeee toooooooooooo ;D i posted my review in ff.net just like Doubs ;D ;D ;D ;D

you know maevezanar, i'm super glad you return back these days hope to see you around always, and enjoy your works

haha. Yes, that word describes exactly what you do with the name. ;D ;D ;D
And yes, I see there is another story in your blog too and I read it already. I read it a month ago but don't know where to leave the comment. I don't have account on wordpress. You said the old name of the fic was so... uhm...."sến" but the new name is even worse than that. (I'm sorry, I can't turn on the unikey so I can't type Vietnamese. Hope you can understand what I mean.) Hehe. Don't feel bad, I just joke. It's quiet interesting reading it in Vietnamese. And I was very happy because I read it while I was laying on bed not while I was eating. ;D ;D ;D I must say your idea is unusual and a bit terrible. (take the good side of the word please. ) ;D And I also read "Until we meet again". Don't know what I should say. It's sad even it's still a bit humorous. You're right, even the ending is not what we expected it would be, there's still hope for our couple. All we have to do is believing and hoping. One day we will meet again. I just love how you ended it "Chỉ cần chúng ta tin." And you know what I was impressed most when I read "Until we meet again"? It's "Troi dat, chi ay me trai tu nam 10 tuoi". Hahaha. Ok, I just joke. Please don't be angry.

I could totally write more of this 365 days. You can give me the idea and I'll think of what I can do with it.

Great. But it come so suddenly, I don't have any idea now. But don't worry, with my imagination I'll find something soon. ;D

[maevezanar]

what? what's with the falling for a guy even when I was only 10? =)) =)) =))
I'm pretty sure all the girls around here fell for Sinbad/Zen at around that age. Tell me yours too.
And about wordpress, I pretty sure I set it so that people with no account can still comment. Maybe you can try again. :">

The fic title? The "nothing is impossible" vs "love lost love found"? Well sure, they are both cheesy. Count the "365 days loving you" too. I don't mind if it's cheesy as long as it can capture your attention.

@teti: Thanks for leaving the comment on ff.net too. so thoughtful !

[Eric/Deamus]

you're so welcome

[Eryl]

Oh dear, I read it and I just couldn't stop laughing...SOO cute and funny! I could easily picture them acting as you wrote. Great work!!!

Haha. Maybe. I don't remember the my first impression on AOS. I was only 7 that year.

And about wordpress, I pretty sure I set it so that people with no account can still comment. Maybe you can try again. :">

Oh, I didn't know that. I simply thought that I didn't have the account so I couldn't comment. I even didn't try. Well, sometime I can be that innocent. (Tiếng việt gọi là "thật thà" hoặc là "ngu")

I'm sorry but I can't understand the word "cheesy" here? It doesn't mean "Sến" in Vietnamese or does it? But if the word "Sến" means bad for you. I think you misunderstood it or maybe misunderstood me. "Sến" is a slang word we often use to say about thing which is soppy, too romantic or too emotional. We often use that word in bad way but its meaning really doesn't bad. You can say "how romantic you are" or "how "Sến" you are". The first is the polite one and the second is the one you use to complain so most of people often be upset when they hear that word. But seriously, it's just a word to describe the romantic and emotional things. You said the name of the story was "Sến" and it means (to me) that "nothing is impossible" is the too romantic title . But the new one as I see is even more romantic than that. So that's why I said the new name is worse than the first one in case you wanted to create the name less romantic. Say that, but really I don't see the titles you gave to your fics are bad. The new title as I see fits the story-line better and more romantic than the old one. I like it more than "nothing is impossible". I don't mind if someone describe me and my things by the word "Sến" so I'm very easy in using it. Sorry if I upset you. But I don't
