Chapter 25: Welcome Home
The sun was quickly setting. Colours of red, orange, indigo, blue and yellow shone in the sky and covered everything in its path.
Since the cops weren't going to arrest them if they spotted them, they were able to take the main highways, which were much shorter than the roads they took on the way to Scotland. Other cars passed by with speed or slowly. Gavin carefully watched them go past and counted each one.
He finally felt relaxed and much happier than he could realise, so much had happened in exactly a month. Everything he expressed in a video that saved Seto.
The meeting of his new friends, being named criminals, fish and chip shop fires, saving a shop from a robbery and meeting new friends.
Gavin never thought something like that would ever happen to him, we'll he got proven wrong.
The Brit turned to Alex who was driving slowly, a smile and bags still under his eyes. Probably from being the the most stress of being the driver. Escaping people and meeting his brother. It was odd to see the Russian so relaxed and happy.
He finally turned his head to the back of the van.
Rythian and Seto were fast a sleep to the side - Seto's head rested on Rythians arm. Rythian was snoring slightly but it was barely audible. Seto was moving slight but only from the van swinging a little.
Such odd brothers. So physically opposite yet so protective and happy.
Martin and Faith were calmly at the side. Faith humming a slight tune which she made up as she went along, her hair was extremely messy and her yellow jumper still had some dirt marks on it. It was a different jumper yet still got dirty. Martin was on his phone and just browsing. Though whatever he was looking at seemed to have made him happy, as he scrolled through it carefully.
Akura was at the back with Nepeta and Chopper. The cat-girl was pointing at her shipping wall with glee and giving a lecture on shipping itself. Akura was rather befuddled with her eyes narrowing yet asking the most questions. Chopper was more or less in awe of Nepeta drawing skill. The cat girl had turned her head many times towards each of them, trying to least have them understand the few simple points of shipping.
Finally Gavin took a deep breath and relaxed in happiness. It was so calm and peaceful, unlike how loud and noisy it usually got. The blonde watched the road in front and his smile grew.
Honestly he couldn't be happier.

The trip back itself took less than a whole month but did take a couple of weeks since it was more short open roads and less long single complicated shortcuts. They also passed the many things that they had encountered.
They passed by the castle of Alex's brother Ioann. The Russian wasn't happy and before they even passed it, he asked Martin to drive. He sat in the back next to to Faith, the red-eyed boy grumbling angrily under his breath and holding his left arm. He didn't stop until they were finally so far away from the castle. Alex screamed stop, dragged Martin out of the driving seat and quickly took control. In no more than two minutes.
It was after a while they finally got into England again. Passing again through the tax booth toll, they were only one booth across from the actual broken one. Everyone was quick to look away all except Akura who wasn't caring, Faith who deeply stared at it (without blinking) and Rythian who was following Faiths gaze.
They also passed the police station. Yep…that one. Martin wasn't caring much but Seto was very much glaring and muttering Japanese under his breath. Rythian clearly wanted to ask but instead left the topic for later.
Spotting the same 24 hour store, they wanted to immediately enter to find food but seeing some drawings of then with the words Banned. They quickly passed it without words and kept on driving.
It was finally the fish and chip shop they passed, still burnt to a crisp and now some black stuff on the floor. Some yellow tape was around it but nobody had exactly done anything to it. Questions came up from Alex when he realised it was the shop that Gavin went to. A quick lie about the shop was made, only for Akura sake. She wasn't ready to revel her past yet.

"I'm home!" Gavin cheered loudly, getting out of the van and admiring his home. It was still in the same condition, though the grass on his front lawn had grown. It seemed exactly like it was when they first left.
"I'm very worried about my home now," grumbled Akura who was glancing to her own home.
"You can go and check on it if you want." Gavin replied though the blue-eyed girl just followed the group to the front door instead.
Fumbling with his keys, Gavin finally got the lock into the keyhole and quickly opened the door. Inside was dark, too dark. Nobody could make out anything.
"SURPRISE‼!" the light quickly turned onto to reveal a massive crowd of people there. The smaller group screamed and Akura quickly took action, she grabbed the nearest item she could threw it as hard as she could. That lamp.
That lamp at high speed took down a blonde freckled girl with a cowboy hat, a ginger with freckles who began to scream many odd words and a another freckled guy with reddish hair bit wore glasses.
The lamp bounced off them and then slowly to the wall on the other. The three lying on the floor got up, the smaller group just watched in shock. No body moved and no sound was made.
"My lamp…" Gavin whined.
"GAVIN!" screamed a similar voice, it was then the glasses-wearing ginger tackled him with great force, leading the blonde to scream rather loudly or make ''Gavin noises'. Then another large ginger with beard and glasses tackled, then a guy with black hair, glasses and sort of facial hair, a sandy haired guy and finally a guy with a moustache, black hair and tattoos on his arms.
It the larger group finally went in. Many all recognised as their friends. Only Seto, Rythian and Akura watched from the sidelines.
After a while Gavin was finally able to get away from the dog pile and breath.
"Boi…what the bloody hell is going on here?!" the blonde exclaimed in confusion. A silence went over the group as Michael got up to explain.
"We assholes were worried for you since you got yourself named criminals and that Seto guy did the 'phone-thing." He gritted his teeth at the end and pointed to Seto who was quickly hiding behind Rythian.
"We honestly had no idea what to fucking do…so like cop we searched for others who knew you well and found us all," Michael went on, "we were about to go get you…until we found that YouTube video of yours!"
"So here is one huge motherfucking party, celebrating whatever the fuck you were trying to accomplish!" Michael proclaimed, making wild hand gestures.
The smaller group went silent but finally all smiled.
"Chopper‼!" screamed a loud voice and a boy in a straw hat quickly hugged the doctor. A green haired guy, large chested ginger, long-nosed guy, blonde with curly eyebrows, lady with black, long hair, a werid blue haired guy and a extremely tall old man with a Afro. They quickly followed behind and hugged the doctor as well.
"Party starting time!" Loud cheers were proclaimed as people began to talk and have fun.
Gavin was already taking to Achievement Hunter and trying to show his Boi to his new friends. Akura seemed sceptical but joined in when Faith introduced her to a rainbow girl with some courage. Chopper was showing his green haired friend Zoro to Rythian, both who seemed to be glaring.
Martin was talking to his friend in a blue t-shirt and another in a orange t-shirt, both with expressions of frustrated relief. Alex was talking to his group The Creatures but was being dragged away by Nepeta who wanted Equius to meet him. Seto timidity at the back, rather confused and not looking all this chaos.
"Hey…I almost forgot you didn't like parties!" Seto twisted to see Gavin who had left his spot from the group. "Just pretend it's like one our normal talks."
Seto nodded to this but still pressed his back against wall and gave a slightly shy look. Gavin blinked at him.
"Ok…can we be friends?" Gavin asked, stars shining in his eyes.
"No." Seto replied promptly, but felt slightly guilty when Gavin's face changed from happy smile to a soft frown. "After this all blows over, we will go back to our normal lives and act like this never happened," Seto ordered.
"Hey Seto?" Gavin questioned, his emerald eyes shining again.
The hoodied boy gave a soft hum.
"Are we…friends?" Gavin questioned, his fingers lightly drumming against his wall.
Setos gaze went to the other side without a word.
"I guess now we could call ourselves…friends," Seto answered.
Seto was put into a bone-crushing hug from the Brit who was making extremely odd noises. His eyes were shining even more and the biggest smile you've ever seen from the guy was etched across his face.
"We friends! Finally, we're friends!" Gavin announced loudly with Seto turning red.
"Seto? I have this friend who has similar interests to you…I would like you to meet her if you don't mind." Faith asked, the pink haired girl appeared out of nowhere which scared Gavin out of his wits. He let go of Seto and fell onto a blonde with a missing arm, missing eye and blonde hair with blue dyed tips.
Seto ignored the chaos at the side and nodded, following Faith towards the other side of the room.
'Friends…maybe it will work out this time.' Seto thought, a smile spreading across his face.
So I finished by first completed Fanfiction. I feel like I taller than God yet shorter than Franky.
Ok so there friends hadn't been not doing anything, all also grouped together and almost decided to go after them. Until the video came up.
I thought this would be good, I believe that though some might have been scared and angry with Seto since taking off with there friends.
Most I think had forgiven him after the video.
I would like to thank the readers who stayed through out this first journey and I hope you might stay with the second journey. It's your choice.
I would like to thank the readers in the United States, Mexio, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Malaysia and Canada.
