My Note: Continuing….

"Linh!"

"What are you doing here?" Linh practically yelled.

"I--," Chaud began.

"First you destroyed my net navi, now you're coming to my house? What are you trying to do? Destroy my life?" Linh asked angrily. Chaud had never seen Linh so mad ever.

"Look, I'm really sorry for what just happened. You've got to believe me! I didn't do it on purpose!" Chaud explained.

"I know, but it was your net navi's fault. So half the blame is yours," Linh replied.

"Yeah!" May stuck out her tongue.

"Stay out of this," Linh told her.

"Linh, I'm really sorry," Chaud said, feeling hurt. He stood up. "I might as well go now."

"Good for you," Linh said, putting her hands on her hips. Just then, Ms. Riku came out from the hallway. When she saw Chaud was about to leave, she looked at Linh sternly.

"May, what's going on?" Ms. Riku asked May.

"I'm not really sure, but it seems like Linh really hates that guy….um what's his name?" May explained, hesitantly.

"Chaud," Linh told her.

"Yeah. Chaud," May corrected herself.

"What's wrong, Linh?" Ms. Riku asked, wondering.

"Nothing, it's just that I don't want to see his face anymore," Linh half-fibbed.

"Linh, that's not very nice. I think you should apologize to Chaud right now," demanded Ms. Riku.

"But---," Linh started.

"No buts," Ms. Riku cut her off.

"It's alright Ms. Riku. She has the right to not wanting to see me again," Chaud interrupted.

"I don't understand," Ms Riku said, confused.

"You don't really have to. It's just the way it is," Chaud told her.

"Well, if you won't give me an explanation, then you two owe me," said Ms. Riku.

"Name it, Mom," Linh said in an annoying way.

"Why don't you two make it up to each other? Like right now," Ms. Riku insisted.

"What!" Linh said, surprised. Chaud gasped.

"You heard her," May said in a bossy way.

"I--," Linh can't think of anything to say.

"Look, I don't know why you don't want to see Chaud anymore. But, I do know that you two have to make it up. Whatever the problem was," Ms. Riku told her.

"Oh, all right," Linh gave in. Chaud tried to look as if nothing had happened, but inside he was happy. Thank you, Ms. Riku, he thought silently.

"So, uh…do you want to go out for ice cream?" Chaud suggested, keeping things simple.

"Sure, I guess," Linh answered, feeling all weird inside. "Can I?" she asked her mom.

"Yeah, go ahead," Ms. Riku nodded. "Just be back soon."

"Eww, I'm gonna be sick," May cringed her face. "Can't you see a nine year old girl was hearing the conversation the whole time?"

But everyone ignored her. Linh got outside with Chaud and left the house.

On their way to the ice cream shop, they haven't said a word to each other. Linh felt uncomfortable around Chaud and was feeling very nervous. Just stay calm, she thought.

"Here we are," Chaud broke the silence when they reached the shop. "What kind of ice cream would you like?" he asked Linh.

"Um, how about strawberry?" Linh said quickly.

"Good choice. I'll have the same," Chaud nodded. He handed the ice cream man some money and the man gave him two ice cream cones. Chaud handed one to Linh.

"Thanks," was all Linh could say. They continued walking, not knowing what else to do and say to each other.

"I think I should get home now," said Linh.

"No!" Chaud blurted. Linh stared at him.

"I mean, please stay," Chaud covered up quickly. What is the matter with you? he asked himself.

"Uh….okay, I guess I can stay for a bit longer," Linh said slowly. She was really confused.

"Look, I just want to say sorry…again for what happened today," Chaud apologized.

"That's okay. I'm just bummed, that's all. You were right, it's not your fault," Linh said, shrugging. She gave him a small smile. "I'm sorry how I've acted to you since this morning. I was really sad and mad at the same time," she told him.

"Hey, don't worry about it. I know how you must have felt," said Chaud, giving his smile in return.

"So we're cool with that," said Linh.

"Yeah," Chaud replied. He could feel the pressure rushing in.

"Will you---" Chaud was about to say something, but was interrupted by a big noise. The dimensional area was forming around a building!

"Let's go!" Linh ran toward the building.

"Wait!" Chaud cried out. "I guess I have no choice!" Chaud ran after Linh. She was inside the building right now. Come on, where are you? he thought panicking.

A huge scream came out. It was from Linh. "Linh!" Chaud yelled.

What do you think Chaud was about to say? He-he…well I'm not really sure myself! Please review!
