Vyse entered Aika's room and pulled a chair up to her bed. Aika sat down on her bed and looked down for a few seconds before she began to speak.

"Vyse, I…I…I know I've been acting odd lately about the whole Mother's Day thing…but I just can't help it. I miss them Vyse, I miss them so much. You will never know how I feel right now. I can't explain it…I just can't…" A single tear was shed, followed by many more. Vyse didn't know what to do. Here she was, crying her eyes out, and there was nothing he could do about it. He decided to take her to the place that always made everything better. The lookout.

"Aika, I want you to come with me to the lookout, ok?"

She sniffed a few times, wiped her eyes, and then nodded. He took her hand and led her out the door.

Up at the top of the lookout the sun was just beginning to set, and the sky was slowly changing from an light blue to a deep purple. This was always Aika's favorite time of day; the time where daylight and night met, and became one. There was more to life than feeling anxiety and worring about what happened in the past; Vyse hope that being here would help her see that. He sat down upon a crate towards the sunset, and she did the same.

"So, Aika," he turned to face her. "I want to help you…I really do…but I'm not quite sure what you need right now…this is the first time since we have met that I have felt like…I'm useless to you. I need you to talk to me, tell me what you need Aika. I would gladly do anything for you…." he took a deep breath and looked straight into her eyes. "I really care about you Aika, and I want you back to normal."

"Vyse… I want to know about my parents. I want to go where they had gone, and see what they saw, and know what they're life was like. I want to feel them Vyse; for the first time in years, I want to know about them." Tears began to swell in her eyes as she stared into his face.

"Alright…I have a proposition for you then…tomorrow…we'll get some information about your parents from mine, and we'll go out on a journey to find what they were all about. How's that sound?" A smile formed on his face. Aika smiled back whiping her eyes, "Sounds wonderful."

Perhaps this is just what she needed. A trip away from her thoughts, away from that island, just her and Vyse. He pulled her into him a gave her a long hug.

"Get a good night sleep Aika, " he said. "Tomorrow starts our adventure to your happiness." He bent down, kissed her cheek, and made his way down the ladder. She smiled, and a few minutes later, left as well.

"Tomorrow will indeed be the start of the adventure …"

Wow its been a loooong time since I've updated this! Well, I'm back working on it now bet you all thought I'd never come back…well I am! Sorry for the shortness of this new chapter… I was stuck in a rut about what to write…and so I thought I'd drag this thing out a bit longer, make it a little more exciting.

Well until the next time we meet….tata
