Cara was walking and talking with Reborn in her arms, when she was about to pass a certain school.

"…and then Xanxus threw a glass at Squalo!"

"Cara."

"Hm?"

"Would you like to see an old friend?"

"Of course! But please remind me of the time, I need to be back before Squalo comes looking for me. He's such a mother hen. It's adorable." Cara finished with a smile.

Reborn smirked.

"Really? Heh. Well, walk through these school gates and go up to the roof."


"Ciaossu, Pipsqueak Dino."

Dino froze for a split second, allowing the person aiming for his head to land a hit. Dino fell back, clutching his head.

"Ow! Reborn, what are yo-!" Dino turned his head and froze again. There was a familiar girl holding Reborn in her arms, wearing an orange cardigan and white dress. The girl had a slight flush to her cheeks (the stairs tired her out, Reborn noted), sending a smile his way.

"It's nice to see you again, Dino."

Dino's face was on fire, reaching his neck and ears. Dino disregarded those painful, eight years since their first meeting, and felt like a boy again.

"C-c-cara!" Dino was quick to get up and lunge for a hug, but Reborn kicked him away.

"Watch it, Clumsy Dino."

"Reborn!"
