A/N: I made this chapter on purpose despite it having little, if anything to do with the actual storyline. Another reason why I did this was to honor a fallen character, Nicole. If you don't remember or know who he is, read through Seasons 1 and 2 and you'll figure out who he is. Thank you.
Rider sat quietly by the headstone, smiling lightly. "Hey, Nicole," he said quietly, "heard you've taken an interest in Lilac, why's that?"
"It's because you've taken a liking to her," Nicole said from behind Rider. Rider turned around and looked at the familiar figure before him.
"Happy birthday," Rider said, smiling at Nicole who smiled in return and hugged him.
"It's my birthday today, isn't it."
"It sure is," Rider replied, hugging Nicole in return. "Can you do me a favor though?"
"What is it," Nicole asked looking up at Rider.
"Can you not freak Lilac out? From what I gather, she's not really that appreciative of spirits of the dead."
"Astral projection and Ethereal existence are fun to use on her though," Nicole said, frowning, "she can't see my Ethereal form so that's what makes it more fun!" Rider glared at Nicole.
"Oh, alright," Nicole said, pulling away and crossing his arms, "I won't creep her out anymore."
"That's a good Healer," Rider said grinning, "now can you two have a formal meeting now?" As Rider said this, Lilac made herself known and Nicole looked at her with a warm smile.
"Hi!" He pranced over to her and looked directly into her eyes. "Maybe it's a height thing he's into." Nicole looked back at Rider. "Do you like us because we're short?" At this Rider shook his head and Nicole looked back at Lilac. "Sorry I kept scaring you with my abilities."
"It...it's alright," Lilac stated, adverting her eyes.
"I don't have much time left to stay like this but do me a favor, Lilac Ginata," Nicole said to her and she looked at him as Nicole took a few steps back before he inhaled. "Si tenerlo sicuro o io verrò e assicuratevi di avere una vita orribile!" Rider couldn't catch any more than eight words that he said. When Nicole finished, Lilac nodded and expressed slight discomfort before looking at Rider. Nicole nodded in accomplishment and he looked over at Rider himself as he slowly faded from view. Rider held a quizzical expression on his face which Lilac ignored as she walked up to him and gave him a hug.
"Nicole's fierce," was all she said as the two walked out of the cemetery.
A/N: Happy Leap Day everyone and Happy Birthday all those born today! ^_^
