First off, I should explain who Fallon is. In Episode 6, Arbiter Attack, starfish invaded the Silvana. Fallon was in the one Claus destroyed, and he survived, but lost a hand. He had it reattached. Then, in the scene where the two Guilders stop Lucciola from getting into the throne room, the one who says "Can you handle Cicada?" is Kitami. The other guard is Fallon.

So there you go. Enjoy Chapter 10!

Chapter 10

The Stalker

"Hey, girls, it's Friday night. Wanna watch a movie?" After the incident, Kisarami decided to work from home. "Depends." Alvis said, her eyes narrowing. "Does it have to be Wayne's World?" Kisarami and Sparkie laughed. "No." Sparkie said. "Good." Holly had come into the room. "Why don't we ask Delphine what she wants to watch?" She asked thoughtfully. "Yeah!" Kisara had become more talkative and open since the blizzard. Kisarami looked at the girls. "Sure. Why don't you go ask her now? I'll make some snacks." The girls scurryed upstairs.

Delphine was asleep. "Aww..." Sparkie said disappointedly. "Let's leave her." Kisara said. They tried to tiptoe out. "Gotcha!" Delphine jumped out of bed. They all laughed. "So, what's up?" Delphine asked them, sitting on the bed. "Mama wants to know what movie you want to watch." Kisara said. "Hmmm. I don't know too many movies. Why don't you show me what you have?" "OK." The five of them skipped down the stairs. "We don't know yet. Can you tell my mom?" Kisara said to Kitami. Kitami smiled. "Sure. I'll go tell her now."

The girls helped Delphine decide she wanted to watch A Series Of Unfortunate Events. Cicada still wasn't home from his band meeting, so the girls decided it would be girls night. Kitami even watched the movie. Suddenly, during the Uncle-Monty's-Death part, there was a knock on the door. "I'll get it." Kitami said. She opened the door to someone she thought she'd never see again, standing in the light snow.

She always wanted to look spectacluler in case she ever opened the door to Fallon. Right now she was wearing a Simple Plan concert T-Shirt and sweat pants. She was speechless and her face was quickly reddening. "Hello." Fallon said, grinning his grin. "Oh..." That's the only word Kitami could get out. "Surprised to see me?" Kitami tried to comprehend what was happening. She's watching a kids' movie with a bunch of 11 year olds and an old friend of theirs that had lost her memory and some surgeon and she looked like a piece of crap in front of the man she'd secretly loved for years. Yeah, she thought, that seems right. "Fallon, I...would you...hold on..." She ran back into the living room. "Uh, Ms. Kisarami, one of my friends is here, can he come in?" "Of course."

She ran back to the door. "Um, would you like to come in?" He laughed. "Sure." Kitami led him in to the living room. The girls looked at them. "Hi, Fallon!" Al and Holly said brightly. Sparkie, Delphine, and Kisara looked puzzled. "Hi, you two. So, this is where you live, now?" "Uh-huh." Alvis said. "Is this your boyfriend, Kitami?" Sparkie asked. They blushed. "Uh, no, he's just an old friend of mine. His name is Fallon. Uh, Fallon, this is Kisara and her mother, Ms. Kisarami, and Sparkie, a girl who lives with them." "It's very nice to meet you, ladies." Fallon said politely. His eyes fell on Delphine. "Oh. Fallon, may I speak to you...?" "I already knew about it." He said quietly. "How?" Kitami was puzzled. "Because there's something I have to tell you about." Kitami stared. "Tell me what's wrong." Kitami and Fallon walked into the kitchen.

"Someone's been stalking her since she got sick." Kitami was taken aback by this. "Who is it?" Fallon looked down at the floor. "That's why I had to tell you, Kitami. It's...it's Formica." Kitami shook her head. "Don't even joke about it!" Fallon took her hand. "It's the truth. I'm trying to talk him out of what he's doing before he does something dangerous, but he won't listen." Kitami's lower lip quivered. No, she thought, not my brother, not Formica, he was one of her best friends...why would he do this? "He knows she's been hurting ever since the story on the news. He wants to make her stop hurting. The Guild has addled his brain as much as it's addled hers." Kitami's head was spinning. "I'm very sorry." Fallon tried to leave. "Where are you going?" Fallon smiled. "Back home." Kitami had to do something. She never told him how much she liked him before, she had to make him stay...

"Please don't leave!" Fallon frowned. "Why?" "I...um...I..." "You know," He said, walking over to her, "you're just as beautiful as you were all those years ago." He kissed her cheek.

"I love you!" Kitami blurted out. Fallon turned around. "What did you just say?" "I always have loved you! Why do you think I'd been spending as much time as I could with you. Because I always dreamed that one of these days you'd say you loved me first. You showed me so much...I can't even begin to tell you...ever since I walked with you that day..." Her voice trailed off. "Kitami, is all of that true?" "Yes." She said quietly. "Do you know how afraid I was when I saw your starfish be destroyed? I thought...I thought you were going to die...I couldn't bear it when you came back looking like you had been blown to smithereens and put back together by a three year old." She started to cry. "My heart ached after we lost Exile and the Guild...the Guild...was destroyed, and we were sepereated. I thought you died. Please, Fallon, stay, I don't want to lose you again..." She burst into sobs. He touched her cheek. "Kitami, I'm sorry..." "It's not your fault..." Their faces moved closer together...she could feel how warm his breath was...

The girls walked in. "I knew it!" Sparkie said. Kitami broke the deepened lock. "Uh, Sparkie, no, this isn't what you think it is..." Fallon laughed. Kitami started laughing nervously, as well. "You know, Fallon, Ms. Kisarami said you could stay here, too." Holly said. "Really?" Kitami turned to him. He embraced her as if he would never let go. "I'm staying." Fallon whispered in Kitami's ear. Kitami smiled. "I'm glad."
