I own nothing. Enjoy!

Area-Z(5): Cafeteria

Prairie smiled as she entered the massive room. The smells of the food cooked here always made her smile. She felt a slight tug on her arm as she tried to enter further. Turning back around she saw a very scared looking Aile.

"Aile, what is wrong with you?"

The girl didn't answer, her eyes darted from each Guardian that sat in the hall, she seemed to want to leave.

"There is too many people."

Prairie just smiled as she gave Aile's arm a tug, effectively pulling the girl into the room. Aile made a little noise to show that she was unhappy, but made no move to flee. Prairie was proud of that fact because it took Aile about five hours to be persuaded to just go into this room. Leading the scared girl further in Prairie walked up to a table and pulled out a chair, motioning for Aile to sit down.

"What are we doing here Prairie?"

"There is something that I want you to try, just wait here as I go get it."

With that the pink clad girl left, Aile sat at the table fidgeting uncomfortably. There was so many things going on that the girl felt just a bit overwhelmed. So many noises and people that she couldn't seem to concentrate. She wanted to speak with O, but he was taking a nap, this left the girl alone to her thoughts.

Area-Z(5): Cafeteria (with Prairie)

"Hello there Commander, what will you be having today?"

"Hi Hibou, I'll have the usual thank you."

The old repliroid smiled as he turned around and produced a coffee mug. Placing in on the table he took out what looked like a small can and proceeded to fill the mug. After he was done he slid the drink to Prairie.

"One hot chocolate for the Commander, anything else?"

Picking up the drink Prairie turned to see Aile frantically trying to find her, she smiled and turned back to the chef.

"Yes, can I have one for Aile too?"

"Yes, do you want me to add extra E-Crystals?"

Prairie simply raised an eyebrow, Hibou frantically tried to explain himself.

"Well I mean, she is a Cyber-Elf. And they do need excess amounts of E-Crystals to stay healthy."

The chef quickly made another drink and handed it to her before he said anything else.

"You do know that she is half human right?"

The ancient repliroid shrugged as he turned back to his cooking.

"I put E-Crystals in everything. You new age repliroids think you only need to eat food, but most of your power still comes from the crystals I put in. Even if she is half human, her Cyber-Elf half must be starving."

Turning around Hibou just blinked when he saw that Prairie was no longer there, he chuckled.

"Always the impatient one."

Area-XZ(5): Cafeteria (back with Aile)

Aile was so much enjoying the feeling of slowly going mad that she didn't notice that Prairie returned until she sat down. She gave Prairie a pleading look when the pink clad girl slid a mug in front of her. Aile eyed the mysterious brown liquid with both curiosity and caution.

"What is it?"

"It is a drink, now drink it."

Aile's expression changed from pleading to annoyance, Prairie just smiled as she took a sip from her own cup.

"I know that it is a drink. I asked you what it was."

"You are no fun, you know that?"

"You dragged me to this awful room, sat me down and left me alone. All of this to get a drink? Of course I'm not having fun."

Prairie sighed, she didn't like it when Aile got this aggravated. Shaking her head she put her drink down and gave Aile a pleading look. She knew that the look was one of the few things Aile didn't like to see her with, but it was also a way to get her to consider what she had asked.

"Please, just try it. We can leave once you do."

As Aile looked down to the drink, Prairie mentally smiled. She may have originally brought Aile here so she could get used to being out of their room, but she decided that the experience probably was a bit much for her, so she made a compromise.

Watching as the girl placed her hand around the cup, she gave Prairie one last look before picking up the drink and brought it to her mouth. Taking one small sip of the liquid, she put the cup back down and blinked in surprise. Prairie just chuckled.

"So, how is it?"

"Refreshing, delicious, and chocolate. Can we leave now?"

Laughing Prairie gave a nod and Aile shot up. Aile quickly grabbed Prairie's hand and pulled her out of her seat and towards the door. Aile was walking so fast that Prairie almost spilled the rest of her drink as they both stopped outside the door. Aile suddenly turned and gripped Prairie in a fearful hug.

"Please don't make me go back in there again."

"Alright, but can we try something else I have in mind?"

Aile thought for a moment, but she reluctantly agreed. Prairie smiled and started to lead the girl back to their room.

Another chapter done. I hope you have enjoyed!
