"YOU DID WHAT?!" Sync screamed in pure and absolute shock, as he stood in front of the very annoyed girl before him. Of course Anise had just told the green haired boy that Ion Fon had just asked her out on a date, and today was the day they were going to the shopping district.

"Do I really I need to repeat myself? you heard me!" Anise back talked as her hands came back down from her ears and onto her waist

"I'm going out with Ion today, and he was the one who asked me!"

"Wha...why are you even going with him?!" Sync tried to stop the girl

"Because I like him! you already know that idiot!"

"Do you even know why he asked you? he could have just felt sorry for you and asked you out, out of guilt or sympathy" Sync spat out the painful truth, he knew his words could be in fact true, after all it had only been three days since Anise asked the boy out. However Anise thought differently, MUCH differently from Sync

"Are you out of your mind Sync!? how could you even think like that? Ion's not that kind of guy!" the brunette supported her crush.

"For all you know it could be true! how much do you know about Ion anyway?

"Well!..."

"Aside from the things you know about him from school!" Sync challenged, he knew very well that Anise was a nervous wreck and she REALLY didn't need this now, of all times, since her date would start in a few hours but he needed her to see the very possible hurtful truth. That all this could be a set up by Ion who could turn out to be a real jerk!

"...I might not know much about him but I do know that he isn't like that! he just wouldn't play me!" Anise stomped her foot in frustration, she didn't get it! Sync was her BEST friend since she could remember, she told him everything! as did he. They understood each other better than anyone else in the world so why? why was Sync being just a...a BUTTHEAD!

'Sure Sync isn't the nicest guy out there but he isn't like this!' Anise thought in confused frustration, as she stared into her best friend's green eyes. Sync didn't know Ion, he didn't know what Ion was out of school! who he really was! so what gives him the idea that he can say those things?!

"He might! you don't know that!" Sync kept on, he needed her to know, to understand no matter what! so why did he have a deep hurt within him that seemed to grow each time he spoke harsh words at her?

He said too much. He might have been trying to help her, she knew he was but he just said too much! he didn't know Ion! what gave him the right to say those things about him?!

"Shut up! just shut up! you're the one who doesn't know him! I hate you Sync!" and with hot tears that ran down her tanned face, Anise ran.


'That idiot! that jerk! that...that... I hate him! I hate him!... I hate you so much Sync!' Anise already had doubts in her heart, she was already afraid that that possible truth! but she just didn't want to believe it. After all Ion was so kind, he was smart and gentle and put everyone before himself!

'There's no way Ion could be like that!...no way!' the girl continued to walk down the road towards the place they were to meet, in front of the Cathedral. She wore brown boots that reached up to her knees, a light pink mini skirt that stopped mid thigh, a white long sleeved shirt with its sleeves rolled up, a pink tie tied into a cute bow that matched her skirt and to finish her hair wasn't in pig tails but in a pony tail, her father, or rather adoptive father, kept badgering her that she needed to start wearing her hair like her age and not like a third grader.

'That old man! saying things like that! I'm seventeen! I can wear my hair the way I want!' an image of the red eyed man popped into her head, he was a kind dad a bit odd at things like machines but he was better than her real parents, who she heard had gave her up because they didn't have enough money to support her. All these things ran through Anise's mind making her completely forget about the boy who was SUPPOSE to be her best friend, when a bundle of green attracted her eyes.

Ion was leaned on the Cathedral stairs with one leg on the ground the other tucked under him supporting him off the pale walls, his hands were in his pockets. Anise could see that without his uniform Ion looked...hotter.

'Damn it! I'm probably blushing right now!' she continued to stare and see how his white long sleeved shirt seemed to glow under the sun, his beige dress pants went perfectly with his black shoes, his green hair was as it always was.

'Here I go!'

"Umm hi Ion! were you waiting long?" Anise nervously asked, as she made her way to stand in front of the boy, his eyes were closed as if mentally preparing himself,

"Anise! oh no I just got here, wow! you...you look amazing!" Ion commented as his eyes stared at the flushed girl,

"Thanks you don't look half bad yourself!" she flirted at the equally flushed boy

"Haha thanks! should we be going now?" Ion asked as he gave Anise his left arm, and she gladly took it.

"Sure!"


"Whoa! look at this place!" Anise exclaimed with her mouth wide open like a fish out of water,

"It really is something!" Ion agreed as the two teens stared up at the new stores that were set up and just finished a month ago. For major Trithiem, thought it would do better for all of Daath, and it worked! travelers from all over the world were coming to visit! for their Score to be read or just to relax in one of the most safest places around.

"Let's go there!" Anise pulled the shocked boy towards a little boutique that was named, 'Mieu's cafe'.

"Awww the cakes here look so delicious!" Anise gusted like a child in a candy store, as Ion smiled at the girls innocence

'She's too cute' however as that thought finished its process in his mind he blushed deep red, and shook his head, Anise saw this

"Ion are you alright?"

"Ye...yeah! why don't we get a table?" and Ion rushed over to find a free table for them.

"Hey Ion are you alright? your face is really red!" Anise cased a worried look at her date,

"No it's nothing really!" the boy smiled encouragingly and asked if Anise would buy anything

"Na it's okay, I just want to sit here and talk, if that's okay?" the girl blushed and looked into her lap, not noticing Ion looked a bit confused but happy.

"Alright! ask away" only then did Anise look up and asked in a sort of anxious and worried voice,

"Ion...why did you ask me out?" chocolate brown met grass green and only stared into each other, ignoring the out side world. When the grass green eyes gave a smile and answered,

"Because I like you Anise."


"You...you like me? Ion?" his words didn't seem to have made their way into her brain yet, as Anise just sat frozen in her seat staring at the blushed boy in front of her.

"You really...like me Ion?"

"Of course, I always had since I saw you on the first day of high school, two years ago. I just couldn't find the courage to ask you out and the fact that I had so much things to do I couldn't but I really did want to ask you out" Ion blushed a deeper red "so I told principal Mohs to stop telling me how to run my life and he finally gave me space to do what I wanted"

"Really?! you're not in trouble or anything?"

"Nope, I am the best student Daath high school has, if Mr. Mohs tries to do anything to me it would jeopardize the school's name" Ion explained

"I see...so are...are you really free to...date?"

"I'm here right? I'd say that is a yes!" he gave his warm smile to Anise who only returned it ten fold.

"I'm so glad! you have no idea how much I'm glad to hear that!" the brunette said excitedly

"Why did you ask me out, Anise?"

"Simple really, I've had the biggest crush on you for the longest time!" against her hot flushed face Anise smiled, she had finally told the boy what she felt about him, after all the years she held it in. Why not smile like a goof?

"You've had a crush on me?" she nodded

"Yeah" Anise smiled when she suddenly felt his right hand reach over the table and hold onto her left hand, a bit nervously at first but when he felt like she wouldn't pull away his hand became calm.

"I'm really glad I met you Anise" both the teens blushed deep red,

"Me too Ion, me too" when Anise couldn't help think

'I knew it Ion! you aren't like Sync at all!'
