We met the others outside sitting on the benches and picking grass from the yard as they laughed and talked. They saw us coming and welcomed us. "Lookign good." Alex said eyeing me. David swooped Elizabeth back. "Are you feeling better?" Rosalind asked next to Max. "Yea way better, Cindy was such a big help." I said. We walked outside handing out pass to the guards who nodded and saluted. We walked a while looking at big breath taking mansions until we came to a long dark alley. "Let me guess there is where it starts." I said. "Yup. Now you girls better stick close to us it might be fun checking things out but people will notice that we're different they'll try to rob you or even use violence against you." Alex said. "And who do you think we girls are?" Elizabeth said sarcasticly making us laugh. The ally got britter until we entered. There were those little red light blubs hanging from roof to roof. It was really different from what we just saw. The floor was uneven and people did take glances at us. There were people sitting begging for food and money and others selling stuff. There were little boys who sneaked three apples as a man chased them with a stick. They came and bumped into me. The boy looked up at me with fright and ran. The old man stopped chasing and stared. "Here you go." I said giving him the money for the apples as he was still frozen and staring at us. "What the hell it's like they're really scared of us." I said walking by as two girls our age dressed in old styled dresses and worn out shoes whispered and glared at us walking by. "You'll get used to it. Actually I have a friend around here who had the best ramen noodles. Oh over there." He said pointing to a small shop with out a door. It was sort of the open and people were eating in it. We walked in. "Hey Alexander!" A man in his 40's said raising a bowl of noodles. People around stopped eating. Looking closley at them they were scary looking. The man who welcomed Alex frowned looking around at them. "Anyway ignore them, come here is a special table for you and your friends I assume they are right?" He said guesturing us to the empty table. "Welcome 6 fresh ramen!" He shouted to the counter at the back. "Ron, why is there filth here?" Said a man getting up. He had a light shaved bear and a brown coat covering him. A person next to us wore a black coat covering his face with a hoodie, and kept on eating not minding anything. "What do you mean filth?" Ron said, the guy who welcomed us. "I mean them!" The man shouted pointing to us. "They are my customers, there isn't such a rule that they can't stay here!" He shouted back. The guy was still eating his noddles in peace as if nothing is happening. What's up with these people? "You know that they're filthy rich they're even probably part of the Exiles! Yet you still call them customers! Don't you know our history between them!" the guys shouted back. They both stared each other down for a long time until a burp came from the guys with the black coat. "Woooh! Good stuff, I'm full. Thanks old man!" he said stretching. I still couldn't see his face. "Hey you mind your manners boy!" The guy said. He just wanted trouble around here didn't he. The guy with the black coat just walked by ignoring him. The other guy stopped him. "HEY! Didn't you hear me I said mind your manners!" He said. There was a long silence until the black coat guy took him from the scruff of his coat against the wall. "I'm minding my own business trying to eat something tasty at night and you come annoying me?" He said. The other guy was freaked out of his life. "Honestly people like you are the filth." He said letting go. "If you want to take this outside then lets go!" The mystery guy said to the man who had barley recovered. "Stop leave me alone!" A girl's voice outside said. "Huh...isn't that?" I said. "CINDY!" Rosalind said getting up. We ran outside. "Alexander you alright?" Ron said following us. There she was surrounded by 5 men with clubs and axes. "Get out of this place or else you're to be a corpse on the floor! We own this place and you're not welcome." A tall and fat ugly looking one said. "We know who you are from that filthy badge, you Exile scum!" A skinny one said. "I don't know what's up with you but I'm not leaving I have the right to stay here!" she shouted back. "What is she doing here alone!" Alex said with an angry look. "Fine then we'll give it to you the hard way, men attack!" He said. Cindy didn't move infact she let out a sigh. "If the anger drains out of you then go ahead beat me." She said. "Like hell we will!" He said just as he they were closing in on her a boy around 16 years flew in and sent the men down with his sword protecting Cindy! The big ugly fat guy slashed his club at him but it sliced in half and he cut him. "My my what a disgusting man you are, attacking a helpless woman like that." he said. He turned around. He had a nice built body like Alex and Max, his hair was light brown and his eyes were pale blue along with a fine skin tan. He wore a white short sleeve shirt unbuttoned with dark green pants and had a black waistband where he put back his sword. "Hey!" I called out. She turned and faced us. "Oh it's you guys what do you want?" She asked dusting off her pants. "Hey beautiful woman," The mystery boy said bowing down on one knee and holding Cindy's hand. "Allow me to take you out on a romantic stroll tonight in this lovley moon." he said. She stared at him with no intrest. To make things worse he kissed her hand. "WHEN THE BLOODY MOON COMES OUT I WILL!" She said kicking him as he skidded a bit far. "Ouch," He said crahsing into a merchant's items. "Wow he beats up a gang but doesn't know how to protect himself from a kick?" I said stiffling a laugh. "Doesn't he sound like the guy we met at Ron's place?" David asked. "Now that I think about it yea, he does sound like him. Look there is the long black coat." Alex said pointing infront of the shop. He got up. "Hey you okay?" Max said guesturing at him. "Me? Yea sure." He said giving a big smile and looked at Cindy with a romantic look. "The kick of love I assume?" He asked. "What kind of moron can he be she just refused him?" I said pointing at him. "A true man doesn't back away from beauty." he said answering me. "You are also good looking too oooh and the other two behind you, if you like we can all go on a romantic stroll under the lovley moon." he said fixing his hair. "Back off." Said Max, Alex, and David nearly at the same time. "My lovley princess, please join me." He said bowing down again. "You are one heck of a presistant fool," She said walking away. "Hey Cindy!" I said calling out. "What?" She said turning around. "Just wanted to thank you, that pink medicine is something else." I said. "Yea sure whatever." She said walking on. "Of course I was the one who invented it." the boy said sitting down spreading his feet out. Cindy stopped. "Huh?" I guestered at him with a confused look. "Yep it's made by 100 cherry blossom petals and a drop of honey. It can cure any sickness." He said smiling and closing his eyes acting like a know it all. "Your lying, stop lying. There is no way you made it because I made it as well." Cindy said not turning around. "Well miss know it all if you really did make it the ingredients were right, right?" He said with a smarty tone. She didn't reply. "I made it once with a partner but no one heard of it, where did you get it from?" She asked finally after a long silence. He stared at her back with a blank expression. She turned. "Yea see the problem is I came here looking for my partner that I made it with." he said smirking. "That annoying smirk..." She said biting her lower lip. "She said your name was Cindy right?" He asked her getting up dusting his pants as a horse carriage walked by. "but.." She said with watery eyes. "Took you a long time to realize, did I grow that old you puffypinkprincess???" He said checking himself out. "I'm not a puffypinkprincess you retartedswordidiot!" She said yelling back at him. She gave a little gasp. "Well then...I'M NOW A RETARTEDSWORDIDITIOT!!!" He said screaming back like a 5 year old attracting attention. "Oh well, guess I should be going." He said attaching his sword to his belt on his waistband and walked away. "Wait! Luke!" She said. He walked a little but stopped. "Guess your the right one after all", he said turning back with a grin. silent tears streamed down her face, "...you....retartedswordidiot.." she said between sniffles. "Pinkpuffyprincess!" He said walking and hugged her head to his chest. "You can't just go around by the way saying that you made the medice, jeez just give me a little credit! But I suppose you were the one who told me what nitrogentics and trinogr-" A muffled voice and pound from his shoulder stopped him he looked down. "Your crushing me to death you retartedswordidiot!" Cindy said successfully peeling herself off of him. "Oops sorry." he said laughing and ruffling the back of his head. "It really is you...." She said looking closley at him. He smiled. "MORON!!!!!!!!!!!!" She said punching him in the chest. "Oomph." he made a sound as she punched him hard. "MORON MORON MORON *gasp* MORON MORON!" She said pounding her fists in to his chest. "Are you done yet, ow! Your punches got harder." he said with a 'oh wow i'm surprised' face. "SHUT UP MORON!" She said slowing down the punches and stopping with tears in her eyes. "Aww don't cry now." He said smirking at her as he quickly dropped when she stepped on his foot. "Oh I need some of the medice now." he said making an imitation of a sick person. I guess we were forgotted because we watched them the whole time, guess it was a reuniting thing, a very awkwards reuniting. But the dream in my head rang. The swords in the dream was exactly their swords, and the cherry blossom can explain something too. "There's medicine in my strapbag," Cindy said wiping her tears. "Oh I was hoping for another medicine he said blushing and looking away trying to give intrest to the sky. "Just what do you mean!" She said raising her fist infront of her face. "ummm.." I said looking at them. They looked back. "Well hello didn't introduce myself" Luke said. "I'm the greatest, the one and only, woman loverrrrrr, LUKE!" He said striking a pose. "Uh...." I replied to see Max trying the pose to Rosalind as she giggled. Elizabeth and David chuckled. "So that's who you were." Alex said pointing at him with an 'oh' face. "Huh? Oh isn't that the grumpy boy who never let me join in sword training?" Luke said with also an 'oh' face. "It wasn't my fault I had reasons back then." Alex said crossing his arms. "Gee you didn't have to be so pushy though," Luke said crossing his arm as well. "I was the pushy one! You never stopped asking me like an annoying brat!" Alex said stepping closer. "You should've took that as a que ash brain!" Luke said stepping closer. "Um guys." I said holding Alex back. "Enough Luke," Cindy said holding him back. The both gave a hmph and turned the other way. "Your both acting like babies." I said. "I'm the baby! Go tell him that!" Alex yelled. I looked at Luke. "I'm not the baby make sure he heard what you said clearly!" He said yelling back. "Geez!!!!!" Cindy and I said smacking our foreheads. "Enough." I said guesturing to move on. We walked around together, "Hey Cindy are you any better at sword fighting yet?" He said. "Luke you'll be surprised." She said drawing her sword and slapping him. "Get you hand off my butt." She growled. Luke smirked and rubbed his cheek. "Oh really because there's a small sword fight going on there." He said pointing to a crowd. "Let's see what you really got." he said heading towards there.
