As the Albiore landed and Anise exited, Guy, who had arrived yesterday, greeted her.

"Anise! Long time no see!" he smiled softly.

"GUY!" I didn't know you were gonna be here!"

She ran over to him and gave him a huge hug. He flinched a little, but quickly returned to normal.

"You know that would have bothered me a couple years ago." He rubbed the back of his head with that goofy smile he always got plastered on his face.

Anise smiled some and looked to him.

"So, how'd you know I was coming?" She quickly asked as they backed away from each other.

"Well," he started "Peony said that he had sent you an invite and you confirmed it so, he sent me here to greet you. You ARE the Fon master now."

She blushed a little and then started to walk towards the palace with Guy not to far behind.

As she entered the palace, Peony was waiting, not for her though. How'd she know you ask? She walked in and he just kept pacing. She stopped in front of him and waved her hands in front of his face.

"Hel-loo! Earth to PEONY!" She shouted, a dull look on her face.

He continued to pace for a moment before acknowledging her presence.

"OH! Anise, Hello! How are you?"

She thought a moment "Im good! But if you don't mind me asking, WHY are you pacing?"

He looked at her a moment, blinking, wondering if he should tell her who was SUPPOSED to be arriving shortly.

"WELL!?" she stomped her foot.

He quickly snapped back to reality.

"Oh, well, Jade will be here soon…. at least he TOLD me he would be."

He pouted a bit and went back to pacing.

She stood there for a moment and then sat down in a large chair.

She hadn't seen the Colonel for quite some time. And the last time she HAD seen him, they had gotten into an argument. She was sorry, but didn't want to see what His reaction would be towards her. She sighed and decided to take a walk around the city while the emperor just kept waiting for somebody SHE knew from experience, wouldn't show up.

On her walk she ran into Luke, Tear, and Natailia, who were all on their way to the palace. She hadn't seen them since HER birthday a couple of months ago. She stopped in front of them and smiled.

"I'm just gonna warn you now," she paused and they all stopped their conversations and blinked.

"Peony's waiting for Jade to show up, so if he doesn't pay attention to you, don't feel hurt!" She smiled "On another note, how are you guys!?"

They looked at each other for a moment before replying with what they had been up to and how they were as of late.

As they talked she was still wondering about how Jade would react IF he even showed up. She thought about the last time they had seen each other. 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

As I sat on the deck of the ship all alone HE walked out stood in front of me. Apparently waiting for me to say something. I stood up and looked him in the eyes.

"You disappoint me Anise, I would have NEVER expected that from you."

I stood there for a moment, still looking into his ruby red eyes.

"Look, your no SAINT either!"

At that he opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out. He turned away from me with a disgusted look on his face and walked away, not another word was spoken. Silence.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

As she snapped back to present events she finished talking and headed back to the palace. When she got in she spotted Peony, who now, instead of pacing was sitting down and talking with Jade. She sat down quickly and he turned his head towards her and stood up.

Excusing himself from Peony's presence he made his way over towards the young Fon Master.

Alright, yes, I know its short but ehh… I said updates would be rare and what-not so just be lucky you have a chapter 2 to read. :D

On a lighter note, I have some extra time on my hands so I will be updating more than usual. Alright so there's a little button down there that's getting lonely!!
