"…" The young man frowned. "Where is she?"

"Would you calm down, she said she'd be coming, right?"

"Ooooohhhh…but I can't TAKE this ANYMORE!"

Several people were waiting for the new arrivals in the crowded airport. The young man was about to jump into the runway when he sees her.

His baby blue eyes widened. "Oh LOOK! There she IS!!!"

Takao, Tsukiyo and Professor came out first, followed closely by Max, Kai, Lei, and Asaya. Takao was in seeming good spirits.

"Oh BOOOYYYY~~~!!! I can't believe we're ACTUALLY here…I'm HUNGRY."

"Oh, but you ALWAYS are, Takao," Professor said with a huge sweatdrop on his head. "When was the last time you never went hungry…?"

"I don't know…"

"God Takao, you're really HOPELESS." Tsukiyo sighed. "Let's grab our bags and head out of here. I want to hit the sack, I'm SO totally BUSHED."

"That's a really good idea," Max replied. "My jet lag's finally catching up on me. Who's for the hotel?"

Lei, Professor, Tsukiyo, and Max all raised their hands in the air. Takao blinked. "Huh…no restaurant HOPPING?"

They all fell down on their heads, with the exception of SD Asaya, who was blinking, and SD Kai, whose eyes became murderously narrowed. SD Professor had his hands curled up into tiny fists, his teeth jagged fangs. "Takao Kinogu, you're a DISGRACE to the ENTIRE human RACE! Would you PLEASE just stop thinking of FOOD for once and start acting your AGE~~~?!"

"I AM acting my AGE."

"What, as the ETERNALLY hungry HUMAN VACUUM CLEANER?!"

"ASAAAAAYYYYYAAAAAA~~~~~!!!!"

They all stopped bickering to look. Asaya's eyes widened. "Huh?"

A young man with short dark caramel brown hair and baby blue eyes came shooting towards them like a rocket then hurled himself into her arms, amidst flying hands and feet. He ACTUALLY bowled her over.

"ASAYA~~~~!!! ASAYA~~~~!!!" the young man was sobbing. "It's been 8 YEARS~~~!!!"

"…" SD Takao blinked. "Uh…do you…know him…?"

The young man's baby blue eyes flashed, then straightened up almost immediately. He was as tall as Takao. "Of COURSE she knows ME! I'm her TWIN! My name is Pierre Vervain and I am her personal bodyguard from all you UGLY people!" He became SD. "What have you done to HER?!"

"Huh?! We're not doing anything to HER," Max replied.

"And who are you calling UGLY?!" SD Tsukiyo asked, her eyes devilish little slits.

A huge telephone directory came sailing out of nowhere and bowled Pierre Vervain over. A tall young man with blond hair parted to one side was standing behind him, a gargantuan red twitch on his head. "Please forgive Pierre, he's just so unusually emotional today."

"You're telling US." Takao blinked. "Now…who are YOU?"

"…Llewelyn…?"

Asaya was sitting up on the floor, regarding the young man with wide, clearest amethyst eyes.

"…" The young man smiled gently down at her. "Hey, squirt. It's been 8 years."

"…" SD Asaya's eyes became wobbly, then she stood up and rushed towards him, her tears pouring out in a spray. "LLEWELYN~~~!!!"

"???" SD Takao, Max, Professor and Tsukiyo had huge question marks over their heads. Kai was just quiet, and Lei was just blinking.

Asaya was crying so hard, the young man became positively alarmed. "Hey Asaya! Turn of the waterworks, save some for later." He looked up and smiled at them apologetically. "Forgive my transgressions…errh…my name is Llewelyn Falstaff. Pleased to meet you."

"…uh…hi."

"You must be the BBA Team. Uhmm…we're part of the welcoming committee. The others are waiting beyond the arrival area."

"~~~~" Pierre Vervain got up from the floor then gave Llewelyn Falstaff a passable death glare. "That was uncalled for, Llewelyn! And…what did you do to HER?!"

"She's just TOO happy to see me."

"Traitor! Her ARMS belong to ME~~~!!!" SD Pierre wailed. He bolts off without another word, leaving a Road Runner-esque trail behind.

The whole Blade Breakers Team regarded this new development with huge sweatdrops over their heads. Llewelyn gave a goofy grin.

"Sorry about that. Uh…should I say…welcome to France?"
