Chapter 3-Strange Happenings(Ashton)

"OK! All done shopping!"Rena said smiling.Then she asked,"Hey..I've been wondering...Where's Claude?

"I dunno...,"I replied dully.

Rena looked at me strangely."Are you ok?" she asked.

I snapped back into reality."Huh? Oh...just...peachy..."

"Umm...ok...I think I'll go find Claude. See you later!" Rena smiled, and then ran to the elevators.

"Oh Claude, you always have to be so worried about him don't you Rena?" I said bitterly to myself.

Ururun then bit me and then growled,"Arrr ruuu!Ruuu arrrr raa!" ( Be nice! Rena's a good girl! )

"Ya I know...but still-"I started to say but was cut off by Ururun.

"Raaa ruuu ruu arrrg, ruu raaaa arggg!"( If she has feelings for Claude then that's her choice. )

I frowned and said," I guess you're right...What do you think, Gyoro?" All I got from him was a soft snoring. "Hahaha, look like he's already tired. Guess we should rest too." I walked to elevators and went into my room for a long nap...but I didn't get much rest with all those thoughts of Rena swirling through my head. When I looked out a window and saw it was dark outside, a sudden drowsiness came over me and I fell asleep.

**********

I was then woken up by a bite from Ururun."Wha...!?!?" I said rubbing my eyes.

"Raaa ruuu ruuu arrr." ( Rena is here with breakfast. )

I shot up out of my bed. "G-good morning Rena!" I said sheepishly.

"Haha! Good morning sleepy head! I brought you breakfast since you missed it," she said with a beautiful smile.

"T-thanks...," I said blushing.

"Here's your food. Take the tray and utensils back to the kitchen after you're done. Oh, you have a nasty cowlick. You should try to comb it over. Hehehe!"

As she said that my face turned red. Ururun and Gyoro were snickering loudly."Umm...ya thanks for pointing that out...,"I said, with an embarrassed tone of voice.

"I'm gonna go have a walk with Celine. It seems she wants to tell me something important." You can join us too if you want. We'll be in the gardens. Well bye for now."

"Bye," I said. She got up and smiled. Then she got up and petted Ururun and Gyoro and then left the room.

Ururun then piped up,"Raaa ruuu ruu ra!" ( Look, she invited you for the walk! )

"Ya , she wants to hang out with me. It's probably because she thinks I'm a good person to confide in. I always to her. I'm like one of her 'girlfriends'," I said sarcastically.

"Arr ruuu raaa arrrggg!" ( Oh just shut up and eat! ) Gyoro yelled.

"Ok...Hey look! Bacon! I love bacon!"

**********

I had just finished breakfast and taken the things back to the kitchen. I was already bored with nothing to do. "What should we do?" I asked Ururun and Gyoro.

"Raa arrrg arrr ruu?" ( Aren't you going on that walk? ) Ururun replied.

"No!" I yelled.

"Raaa ruuu, arrr raaa arrr...," (Calm down, it was just a suggestion... ) said Ururun with a sullen face. Then Gyoro bit me.

"Hey! What was that for?" I yelled at Gyoro.

Gyoro replied, "Raa ruuu raa arrr ruuu." ( You were being a jerk. )

"Hmph! Maybe I should get the things for that exorcism..." I said bitterly to Gyoro.

"Raa raaa ruu!" ( You wouldn't dare! ) said Gyoro.

"Try me," I said with a sly smile. After that Gyoro became quiet.

"Hahaha! That's what I thought!" I laughed and then decided I would go outside, but not with Rena and the others. Just...some alone time...I guess...

**********

I was sitting on a bench looking at the garden when I hear someone behind me.

"Hello!" said the voice.

"Huh?" I turned around and saw Precis. "Oh, hey. I didn't think you would be here so early." I said sort of disappointed.

"Oh Leon said I could go ahead of him. So I did.," she said with a smile.

Then her little blue ball toy jumped on my lap. "Hi Ashton!" it said.

"Ahhh!" I screamed and then whacked it off my lap.

"Ahston!" Precis yelled. "Did you forget Bobot can talk?"

"Oh sorry!" I said trying to smile.

Precis sat down and then asked, "Is something wrong?"

"No nothing's wrong." I murmured, looking away.

"Aww come on. You can tell me," she smiled as she said it.

"Well, alright, I guess. I...I think I'm in love with Rena," I told her. Precis' smile turned into a frown right away. "Umm...something wrong?"

"Oh no, no," she said trying to bring back the smile. "Doesn't she like Claude?" she said, trying to change the subject.

"Ya I think so...," I then sighed. I would never have a chance with her. "I think I'm gonna go back to my room. See ya later."

"Oh ok, bye." she waved.

I was walking into my room when I saw a window shattered. "Hmm, how could that have happened?" I asked myself. I walked to the area and found a disc of metal on the ground. I picked it up and felt it. It was smooth and light. "I wonder what it is..."
