"Love is needing someone. Love is putting up with someone's bad qualities because they somehow complete you."
― Sarah Dessen, This Lullaby

The gang was back in the sweet little village known as Elder and Ara was strolling around with Rena and the girls—shopping for dinner. "Hmm, seems like it's been so long…"

The girls glanced at Rena and gave a questioning look, except for Eve. "Ah, it does…it brings back memories of when we were still unsure of what path to follow."

Rena nodded, beaming a warm smile, as she giggled towards the Dimension Witch. "It seems that you've grown into a fine woman, Aisha."

The petite nodded, prancing on a few steps ahead as she wiggled her finger in the air. "Most definitely, Rena—and I've become somewhat of a role model with the kids."

Ara and the others laughed, nodding in agreement, as they watched Aisha stop to sign a child's T-shirt. "Oh, that reminds me girls! Since we have our times to ourselves…I just want to hear your thoughts about the boys."

Ara tapped her pointer finger against her chin as she gazed up at the sky and suddenly pictured an irritated Add. "Well, when I first met Add…"

"Add…" Eve seemed to echo the name with slight detest.

"E-Eve…" Ara whispered softly and continued on, "Add was, in fact, pretty obsessed with you Eve—and he scared me a little. He was always frustrated with me…honestly, I wasn't sure if he liked me or not. But after a while of venturing with him, I realized that he's actually nice—well, sometimes—and he's more conscious of what he says to me now."

Aisha popped back into the conversation and nodded, "Yeah! That reminds me—he was always saying, 'You're good for nothing—Ara' or 'How can you possibly fall when there's nothing to fall on'…Ah! He's so rude!"

"What was that, Shrimp?" Add barked from the table where they were to meet up—startling Aisha. "I dare you to say it again—and I don't sound like that when I speak to her. Besides I only said those things because they were true. And as they say, 'Honesty is the best policy'."

Chung chuckled beside Add and shook his head, interjecting, "Yes, that is true Add. But, you're not too honest about your feelings for a particular someone."

Add flushed a tint of pink before running his hand through his hair and shaking off Chung's comment, calling Ara over. "Ara…can you fix my hair?"

Before helping out, Ara and the girls placed down their bags onto the open seats and sat beside their love interest. Grand Archer Rena beside the dependable Blade Master while Aisha sat beside Tactical Trooper Chung to discuss about the latest film, and lastly the Empress and her Knight. As for the Sakra Devanam she strolled up to the messy-haired male Add.

"Amazing—your hair's really soft, Add!" Ara exclaimed as her fingertips comb through his hair gently.

Add gave a grunt and sipped on his coffee, shrugging, "Yours is softer…"

"Really? I don't…think so." She chuckled softly as she bundled up his hair into a ponytail, "Okay—all done."

"Thanks." Add softly tapped the seat beside him, and pulled out his screen to show Ara the current meals that the boys wanted. "And—I, personally, would like this one."

She leaned over, placing a hand on his shoulder as she nodded. "Okay—we can do those meals with the things we bought and—"

Aisha chuckled softly, leaning over Chung to stare at the Mastermind and Sakra Devanam. "You two looked like a newlywed couple—Add, letting Ara fix your hair and talking about what to make for dinner. I have to admit..."

"Now, now, Aisha…" Chung smirked at Add and placed a gentle hand against her head.

She pouted at Chung, "But they're cute together…"

Add gritted his teeth and let out a sigh of exasperation, crossing his arms with annoyance, "Those two…"

The others laughed happily as the two shook their heads, distancing themselves from each other. However, it was hard to do because Ara needed to lean over to double check on their ingredients. And the day continued on like this: Ara and Add being teased by Aisha and Chung, Rena trying to clear the situation, and the others simply waiting for their meals.
