Author's note:

Pairings: mainly on Yzak x Shiho.

There's a little spoiler, some grammar mistakes and stuffs… Hope you guys won't mind.

Thank You So Much for the reviews. I'll work harder to write better chapters in the near future to come…

You guys can also read my first fan fiction on Yzak and Shiho. It's called Forever With You.

- Chapter 11: The Meeting -

"Morning Shiho, Yzak!" Flora smiled as she caught sight of the pair. It has been 3 months since Shiho and Yzak became a couple. Just how the whole college did come to know about it? All thanks to Dearka, Yzak's best pal, who went around announcing the news to everyone. Things were going well for those two except that once awhile Maya would pop up and create trouble. Other than that, Both Yzak and Shiho were envied by many other couples in college.

"Morning to you too, flora!" Shiho replied. "So how was the lesson on the day before yesterday with Mr Brown?" Flora asked. For the past two weeks, Mr Brown, the Military Class instructor has been conducting extra lessons with only Shiho, reasoning that her skills could be improved further. However, something tells Yzak that there's more than meets the eye. "Oh, it went well. Mr Brown gave me a few tips on making my MS' power/battery last longer. But the strange thing is that I haven't been seeing him around today." Shiho replied, heading out of the college compound with Yzak. "Strange isn't it? Count yourself lucky, Shiho. Mr Brown never conducts any extra lessons for anybody. He must have seen something extraordinary in you." Flora added. 'Mr Brown seen something extraordinary… hmm…' Yzak thought. "Anyway, I'm meeting Serene and others to study at the library. I'll see you two tomorrow. Have fun!" Flora winked just as she caught sight of her friends.

"A penny for your thoughts, Yzak?" Shiho said, waving her dainty hands in front of Yzak's face. "Huh? No, nothing. I must have zoned out, sorry." Shiho giggled a little, "It's ok. Come on, let's head down to 'BAKERY, RESTAURANT, CAFÉ' to study. I love Miriallia's strawberry cheese cake and chocolate latte." Shiho noted with such delight at the thought of heading Miriallia's café. "Sure, anything you say, Shiho." Yzak smiled, holding Shiho's hand in his.

Just then, Yzak's mobile rang and he answered the call, finding out that he was needed urgently for a meeting held by the PLANT Council in Aprilius. "What's up, Yzak?" Shiho enquired. "I'm so sorry, Shiho. The Council needs me to attend an urgent meeting at Aprilius. I've got to go, a shuttle is assigned to pick me up at the shuttle port any minute from now…"

"It's alright, Yzak. There's always next time. You run along first, I'll go there myself. Take care of yourself, alright?" Shiho cut in, understanding the situation. "Thanks, Shiho. I'll call you as soon as I'm done with the meeting. You take care of yourself too. Got to go." Yzak ended the conversation, planting a kiss on Shiho's cheek and headed off.

- At Bakery, Restaurant, Café –

"Hey Shiho! How come you're alone today? Where's Yzak?" Miriallia asked as she served Shiho a slice of homemade strawberry cheese and a cup of chocolate latte. "Thanks. Yzak had to attend an urgent meeting held by the Council. So here I am, at your café, enjoying cake that you've baked and the latte you've brewed. Not to mention, studying as well." Shiho replied, sipping the piping hot latte. "Glad to hear that you're enjoying the edibles that this little café of mine is famous for. Dearka has been called back for the similar meeting as well. Wonder for whatever particular reason that is?" Miriallia mentioned, taking a seat beside Shiho. "Ya, I wonder too."

-End of Chapter 11-

Hint/Clue: Yzak and Dearka have been called back to Aprilius for an urgent meeting held by PLANTS' Council. So what is this meeting all about? And why the sudden lessons conducted by Mr Brown for Shiho? Stay tune to the next chapter to find out!

Author's note: Please accept my most sincere apologies. I'm really very sorry to keep you guys waiting for about 4 to 5 months, which is like how painstaking long! Sorry about that. Firstly, I've got a huge problem with carrying on the story. So I took some time off in search of inspiration and ideas. Secondly, I'm getting ready for a major exam, the O'LEVEL EXAMINATION , at the end of this year. Hope you guys will understand. Do feel free to drop any ideas as review because I'm really running short of ideas. Thanks!

Thank you for the support and review! I love you all!

Till the next chapter/time!
