"OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
The outraged scream of the airship pilot was so earth shattering, that that the little girl next to the flower field in Saint Binah looked up in shock and curiosity… Over a continent away…
A very anxious Noelle was scampering around the airship, searching frantically. A slightly amused Anise watched from a bit away.
"Oh, where is it, where is it!? I know it's here somewhere!" Noelle mumbled as her search toiled on. And on. And on…
"What's wrong Noelle?" The preteen asked the pilot.
"I lost my notebook!" Noelle screeched, her fears resurfacing.
"That's all? Just get a new one." Anise stated, confused.
"Get a new one…?GET A NEW ONE!? I NEED THAT ONE!" Noelle yelled. She was getting annoyed. Why didn't Anise understand? She needed that notebook and that notebook alone!
Anise looked even more puzzled than before. She smiled to herself. She's got to be hiding something. "Why is that one ooooh, soooo important? It's not like you're short on money or anything…"
Noelle was taken aback. She didn't expect that reaction from Anise. Okay, maybe a little on the inside… "It's got all the extensive info on the Albiore in it… It's really important…" she said, quieting down a bit.
"You've already memorized all that stuff already, or you wouldn't fly it with people on it…" Anise shot back. Noelle sent Anise a furious glare. She yanked the nosy preteen into an alcove so they could talk more privately.
"Okay, fine. You win! It's kinda my… part-time journal/diary thing… What if Gu… Someone found it and read it!?" Noelle quickly corrected herself.
"Guy's not gonna read your diary…" Anise sighed loudly.
"But it looks like it's an endless supply of fontechy info on the Albiore… HEY!! I DIDN'T SAY I WAS WORRIED ABOUT HIM!!!" Noelle blushed scarlet.
"Oooh, yes you did…" Anise said, smiling slyly. "YOU LIKE GUY!!" Noelle shook her head vigorously.
"NUH-UH! NUH-UH!!" Noelle argued futily with the ecstatic young girl, trying to get her to quiet down.
"Um… Excuse me, Noelle…?" A smooth voice asked. Noelle's heart stopped beating.
"Here, I think this is yours…" Guy handed Noelle her notebook. Noelle was blushing so hard, even her ears were red as a blacksmith's flame.
"Uhh… Thanks…" Noelle answered, watching Guy leave both girls in shock. After Guy was nowhere to be seen, she slashed through her notebook book, skimming each entry. Only one thing was different… The page where she had profusely fused their names and drawn, like, a zillion hearts. Beside the entry "I 3 Guy!!" was a reply in bright red ink, saying "Do you Really…?"
