Author's Note: Hehe... A short drabble about how Ion saw Anise. Just a little thing I thought up tonight. Made it up as I went. Spolier Warning!
Rated T: For safety. :D

"No! We half to let Ion rest."
She always cared for me. Not once has she ever let me fall. She was always there, no matter what. She took care of me. I was always a burden for everyone. But not to her. She made me feel like I wasn't just a replica. Just a replacement. Not just a useless deadweight.
"We don't need Ion anymore; the war won't start as long as I'm around."
I was never really needed. I was just a figurehead. Any of the others could have just as easily unlock the Yulian seals. I never really had any companions. Just her. She was my most cherished friend. When she was away on duty, I felt very strange inside. Like apart of me was missing. It's when I spoke to Arietta I found out it was called being sad. She said most people get sad all the time. So, how come I was only 'sad' when she wasn't around.
"Don't forget we have to let Ion rest when we get back to town."
She was really the only one who considered me. Even among Luke and the others. She always reminded them about me. It was strange. I really thought she was just doing her job. Her simple job in the Order. But I'm having seconds thoughts upon the issue. But no one ever cared about me. Just her. When I met the others I was really happy I had friends. For the first time I had friends. Companions I could call m own. Wait? Did I not already have a friend? Was she my friend?
"Ion, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry I did this to you. It's all my fault."
That's what I heard when Mohs pushed me into the glyph. She helped with this? I was sad again. I thought she was my friend. Do friends do this? I wonder. I didn't think so. But she said 'sorry'. Do friends do that? Yeah, they say sorry. When my hands felt the cold stone and I started to read I felt weak. Weaker than I normally do. Was I going to die? I might as well. I have nothing. But while I read, I heard her voice.
"Ion! Please, don't die! P-please don't die. you're my only friend... I love you."
She loved me? What is love? I felt really happy. Is this love? The pain faded away. I read the last line and I fell. And someone caught me. It was Luke. What was he doing here? Then everything started to fade away. I had so many questions to ask everyone. But I couldn't. I looked at her and I couldn't help but smile.
"Anise... my most cherished... friend... I..."
Then they all faded away. But I was happy. I love her. I love Anise.

Author's Note: Wow. I hope that was okay. Way too short for me. But its drabble. shrug
