Seeing Ben again was pretty great, but I got sidetracked when I heard a woman's voice calling out Zero's name. Glancing behind me, I saw a young girl envelope Zero in a hug.
"I'VE FOUND YOU AT LAST!" the stranger cried out in happiness.
I took a deep breath, stepping away from the group that had formed around Ben and waited for Zero to start explaining. I knew I didn't need to be jealous, but it was obvious she was a part of his past, and the past was hard to forget. I knew I shouldn't be worried because I knew Zero wouldn't do anything to hurt me, but I couldn't help the envy that was starting to build up.
Zero looked a little awkward, but it was obvious she had been a close friend to him, and I couldn't get mad at that. I had had guy friends from back home. I tried to keep a calm appearance, as I didn't want to anger Zero at all. I waited patiently for him to introduce us.
Zero kept the girl at arms reach, "It's good to see you Kiyoko." He took a step towards me. "Ariel, this is my friend Kiyoko from back in the orphanage."
I smiled warmly. "It's nice to meet you."
Kiyoko returned a curious smile. "And you must be Zero's girlfriend?"
I smirked. "Yes, yes I am."
-Asuka-
"S-so you're the guy from the m-mountains right?" I stuttered asking Ben. I didn't know the guy too well, and I'd be surprised if he remembered me. I'd bet he didn't remember me. I'm not the most noticeable person out of the group.
"Yeah, I remember you, your Asuka right?" Ben said, interrupting my thoughts. He knew who I was?
I looked up, the surprise reflecting off of my face. "You remember?"
"Yeah I do!" He stared at me for a moment, and I turned my head. I couldn't keep up the staring.
"I'd say he's a stalker Asuka, watch out!" Sky but in playfully. I smile slightly.
"Aren't you cold?" Ben wondered, staring at my sundress I was currently wearing. I was a tad cold, but I didn't want him to worry.
"Nah, Im good!" I lied, hoping he would buy it. I never had been a good liar.
He pulled off his jacket and threw it over my head. "Put it on, you're freezing." he told me sternly.
A huge burst of light lit up the sky followed by a huge KABOOM! We all startled a little and looked up to see a wide spread of fireworks over our heads. It looked like the con was almost over.
"Aww look how pretty!" Sora said amazed. She seemed ready to burst into flight.
I glanced over at Ben and smiled; he returned it.
Continue? Yeah for a quick update!
