Blaze POV

"NEXT STATION IS TAKIMENO" The extremely loud voice jolted me from my peaceful sleep which in my opinion was the best sleep I had gotten in a while.

I felt something soft under my chin shift. I looked down and saw a head of perfect black hair with a pink streak running through it. Myst. Her head was resting on my chest, I had my arm around her shoulders and had been resting my head on top of hers. I smiled as she shifted again, snuggling deeper into my chest. I looked around the carriage. Everyone was asleep, Romeo and Wendy next to each other in the same position Myst and I were in with Charle next to Wendy leaning against her. Haru with Rip on his lap, her head resting on his chest with his arms wrapped almost protectively around her. Kai with her head resting on the glass of the window with Alec's head on her lap, one of her hands were buried in Alec's hair and the other entwined with one of his hands. And to my surprise Aqua sleeping next to Rip with her head on Kibo's shoulder, his head resting on hers with their hands gripping each other's on their laps. I didn't want to wake any of them but we had to get off the train and get on with the mission. I reached for my bag, careful to not wake Myst and got out my Air Horn. I decided to wake Myst first, not wanting to use my cruel trick on her for some reason.

"Myst" I whispered, shaking her slightly. Surprisingly, her eyes opened sleepily. "Block your ears" I whispered again slipping bits of cotton wool into her hands.

A slight expression of confusion took over her face making her look incredibly cute and innocent as she looked up at me. I smiled reassuringly at her as she brought the wool up to her ears and blocked them. Stuffing the cotton into my ears, I held up the Air Horn and pressed it. All of a sudden the others jolted up from their sleeping positions, Alec's head colliding with Kai's, Wendy and Romeo's heads crashing, Rip's head jerking up and smashing into Haru's chin, Kibo and Aqua's foreheads hitting each others. And the whole time all this was happening, Myst and I were busy laughing our asses off unable to hear the yelling from the rest of them because of the cotton in our ears. We caught each other's eyes, I grinned at her and a small smile settled on her lips. It was perfect. Until both Haru and Alec punched me that is, at the exact same time.

Myst POV

Blaze still had two slight bruises on his cheekbones from where he had been punched. Wendy had reduced most of the swelling out of pity for him but they were still slightly purple. I caught his eye, asking silently if he was ok. He smiled reassuringly despite the fact that that simple smile must have hurt. I sighed, not sure how to lessen his pain, so I grabbed his hand and squeezed it softly. His hand squeezed mine back and I leaned slightly into him as we walked to the client's house.

Once we had gotten there, he had given us the details of the mission. He had been on a walk through a site of ruins and had lost an important piece of parchment. He also apparently had terrible memory and couldn't seem to recall which site of ruins it was exactly. That might not have been a big problem if there wasn't 9 different sites that the parchment might have been at. We had decided to split up, each human taking a site each and the three exceeds teaming up for the last one.

All the site were only accessed through a long winding road that went up the mountain side with the entrances to the separate ruins along it. There was one site that was quite far away from the rest and was actually larger than the others but Kai, being as stubborn as she is, insisted on taking that one.

"But what if you get hurt?" Rip said, her voice filled with worry.

"Don't fret," Kai answered with a smile, "You know me, I can deal with a few cuts and bruises" she reassuringly smiled at her friend.

"We know," I sighed. "Well, good luck then." I said, still worried for her.

"You too!" She said with a grin as she waved and we went on into the ruins. I noticed Alec look after her as she went, as if sensing that it was a bad idea to send her here alone.

Charle POV

We chatted as we walked up the twisting road occasionally laughing. Suddenly, a picture filled my mind, Kaisha slipping off the edge, falling down, sharp rocks and debris underneath her. I gasped, jolting out of my vision.

"What is it Charle?" Wendy asked, sensing my discomfort.

"Kaisha will fall..." I breathed.

Alec stopped dead in his tracks, I saw the blood drain out of his face as he asked me, "What do you mean?" his voice dead quiet.

I froze, scared by the seriousness in his voice and I couldn't form coherent words. All of a sudden Alec took off, running back in the direction we had come.

Kaisha POV

I was falling. I couldn't use my magic to save myself, my friends were far away, and it was my fault. I had stupidly insisted on staying here to check out the ruins that were furthest away from the rest. I guess this is the end of me. There was no way I could survive a ten metre free fall landing on my back. I closed my eyes, accepting the fact that I had no options, this was it. I began to think of my family. My brother, my mother, my father, my grandma. At that I smiled, I would be joining her in heaven now. I then though of Myst, Rip, Wendy, Charle, Aqua, Blaze, Haru and finally Alec. Cute, adorable and incredibly annoying Alec. I smiled, I would miss him.

Suddenly I felt myself fall into something hard but comforting. I winced and curled up, my head collided into something cushiony. I opened one eye at a time to find myself staring into sea green ones staring down at me. He had a smirk on his face. I then realised that I was in his arms, literally, he was carrying me...BRIDAL STYLE!?

"KYAAA!" I exclaimed once realisation hit me.

He grinned cheekily at me.

"Is this the part where you throw your arms around me, thanking me constantly then reward me with a kiss?"

I stared at him for a second, "You're delusional." I said, my voice getting softer "But thank you, really."

He smiled at me, "Your welcome, Tenshi" (Japanese for Angel)

I blushed at his nickname for me. "Wait, how did you know to come back anyway?" I said once I had thought about it.

"Charle." He answered simply.

I nodded, "That makes sense."

He then let me down very gently much to my surprise and as he pulled away an idea popped into my head.

"Alec, can I ask you something?" I said, stepping closer to him.

A blush crept up his face, "Sure." He managed to get out.

I looked directly into his sea green eyes, as I asked.

"Will you go to the dance with me?"

His eyes widened a fraction for a millisecond, so quick I thought I might have imagined it, before a smirk overtook his face. "Why me?" He asked, his smirk telling me that he couldn't care less but his eyes genuinely wanting to know the answer.

I thought for a second. What should I say? That I liked him more than I liked other guys I had known or that I loved the colour of his eyes? That he had literally just saved me from falling straight to my death or that I thought he was cute and adorable sometimes? I could think of tons of reasons why but I didn't think any of them were appropriate. So I settled for making him jealous, which I had a feeling would work. I let a smirk matching his own slip onto my face, "Ok then," I started, starting to turn away from him to walk in the direction we were originally headed, "If you don't want to go then I guess I'm going to have to ask Haru or Blaz-"

Suddenly I felt a hand grip my wrist and pull, spinning me around, straight into his arms. I stood with my arms trapped between my chest and his, his arms around my waist, his face inches from mine.

He smiled softly at me, "Yes Tenshi, I will go to the dance with you."

I couldn't stop the grin that took over my face as I went up on my tiptoes and kissed his cheek lightly, surprising him enough to loosen his hold on me. Taking this opportunity I slipped out of his hold, grabbed his wrist and began running towards the rest of the ruins.

"Come on! The others are probably getting worried." I said over my shoulder, still pulling Alec along. I felt his wrist slip out of my grip, his hand replacing it and gripping my hand tightly as he ran beside me. He grinned at me and I grinned back at him.

I guess I had a date to the dance now.

Ripple's POV

"Hey guys, what took you so long?" I asked Kai and Alec with a teasing tone to my voice.

"We are going to the dance together." Alec announced, slipping his arm around Kai, pulling her closer somewhat...protectively? I watched as her eyes widened and glanced up at his serious face, a blush creeping up her onto her faces.

"Y-yeah, we are." She confirmed a small smile on her face as she leaned into his chest. Aqua, Wendy and I squealed while Myst and Charle smiled.

"We should probably get on with the mission now." Kibo said a small smile on his lips, happy for his friend.

"Yeah, Kibo's right, we have kinda already wasted like, an hour." Blaze commented.

I saw something change in Kaisha's expression and she exploded, "WASTED? I NEARLY DIED!" She yelled at us.

"Well, not really..." Haru said.

She whirled on him, her glare getting harsher, a dark aura surrounding her. "NOT REALLY? YOU-" the yelling immediately stopped when Alec slipped his hand into hers and lightly squeezed. She turned her head to face him, her harsh aura fading as her face and body visibly relaxed as she stared into his eyes. It seemed almost like they were a having a silent discussion. She smiled at him and all of a sudden she crumpled to the floor, Alec catching her before she hit the floor and set her down gently.

"The emotional stress of nearly dying must have caught up with her." Wendy said kneeling down next her.

"That probably wasn't the only reason," I smiled, then turned to Myst, "Now both Kai and I have fainted, it's your turn next" I said with a grin.

She stared at me, her eyes narrowing, accepting the challenge, "We'll see about that."
