This is my first story so reviews would be vastly appreciated. Please tell me any way I can improve and I will try my best to do so. This is a little different than what I originally planned but I like it and I hope you do as well. I plan on updating twice weekly. If not twice then at least once a week.

The Last Goodbye

Its early in the morning as a car pulls up to a beautiful mansion. Three people get out and a man kneels down to his son. "Now Allen I'm sorry but you can't go with us. This is an important trip and your mother and I need to be able to focus on it completely. We can't do that if we're trying to take care of you; you know that." "But I want to go with you it's not fair said a crying Allen." "Hey look at the bright side son at least you get to spend some time with Road and Tyki." "Yeah I know but I want to go with you." "Sorry champ but you can't. Now come on lets go inside. There is someone who is extremely excited to see you, in there you know." "I know and I miss her too but I want to spend more time with you and mom. You're always leaving. What if you don't come back?" Mana knelt down to his son, looking at him fondly. "Son I will never leave you. I will always be there for you. And don't you ever forget that. Now I think it's time we make ourselves known."

*Knock* Knock* Knock*

The door opened to reveal an impressive man of class. "Ah Mana it's you. I was wondering when you would get here. Please, come in. Road, Allen is here, Announced the earl." "Allen, Squealed a familiar young voice!" Allen turned to see Road run towards him and tackle him into a hug. "Hi Road he said happily. It's great to see you again. I don't know how long I will be staying with you and your family this time but I think I'll be here for a while." "Sweet that means we'll have a lot of time to play. Come on she says," dragging Allen behind her.

"Those two are pretty close for kids their age said Mana chuckling lightly." "Yes Road is quite fond of him, Said the Earl. You know her she likes to play quite a bit." "Yeah I know but she just seems a lot fonder of him than her own family. Have you talked to her about it yet?" Not yet, in time I will but they're too young to learn of all that yet. Perhaps when they're older we will have to tell them but for now let them enjoy their youthful innocence. It's quite refreshing to see them so peaceful together isn't it old friend."

"That it is. Well I can't thank you enough for taking care of him while I'm gone, but I really must take my leave I do need to get going. "

"Alright give Cross my regards when you see him for me please."

"Will do Earl, Thank you again and try not to let them bother you too much. Mana Laughed."

"Oh I won't if I can handle road then I can handle Allen." The earl said chuckling lightly.

"Yeah that's true. Well I'll see you in a few weeks then thank you Earl."

"Not at all have a good time Mana. And be safe if not for your sake then at least for Allen's," he added seriously.

"I'll try my friend but that's the best I can do" Mana said under his breath as he walked away.
