"Hello! Anyone in there?" A crimson pink exceed asked as she knocked on Jasmine'swarm ivory forehead as if it was a door while sitting on Jasmine. The exceed has beautiful night blue eyes while she wore her new white dress that flowed from the waist down but was form fitting the waist up, almost exposing her cute little figure with a white ribbon tied to her tail. She frowned at Jasmine'sstill sleeping form before she yelled. "Jasmine, wake up!"
Jasmine just rolled on her side, nearly knocking the exceed off her. Jasmine hugged another pillow before mumbling. "You smell like a skunk..."
"Grr..." The exceed growled as she stared at Jasmine. The exceed sighed before stating. "Breakfast time."
Jasmine opened her eyes and yawned while she asked. "Breakfast?"
"Oh my gosh, Jasmine! Why do you wake up when I say something relating to food?!" The exceed asked a bit annoyed with her partner as she put her hand on her hips.
"I'm hungry." Jasminesmiled at the exceed as she sat up. "Also, I was awake. I was just ignoring you."
"Seriously?"
"Hehe." Jasmine giggled before asking her exceed friend. "Also, why aren't you out exploring? I thought the splitting image of Katie Adventurous would be out fighting new battles, escaping deadly boobytraps and wild animals that want to eat her, and be collecting new valuables."
Katie Adventurous was the main character in Jasmine's favorite book series. The exceed just smiled as she replied. "Well, I was just keeping a promise I made to you a week ago saying I'd take a day off exploring and go shopping with you for your birthday, but if you think I should go and explore instead I shall."
"Wait, no! No! I'm up!" Jasmineshook her head as she went to get up but stopped when suddenly the two girls heard two people fighting outside. Jasmine growled annoyed as she laid back down and pulled her pillow over her ear and growled while laying on her side. "Must they fight so early in the morning?"
"What's the big deal? You're already up?" The exceed asked as she flew over to the window and looked out of it.
"Yes, But what if I wasn't?" Jasmineasked as she got up and walked over to the window to look out of it as well. She looked down to her right to see an old woman and an old man arguing loudly. "Ah, typical Mr. Grouch and Miss Impossible. They're so lucky I'm not asleep right now."
"Relax, Jasmine. Let the two kill joys fight. They'll tire out eventually." The exceed replied as she flew away from the window.
"When, Ruth? They've been at this years, way before we even moved here." Jasmine asked as she looked at Ruth who stopped and looked at her.
"We got stubborn and we got grouch going against each other. One of them is bound to have enough and walk away."
"My jewel is on Grouch." Jasminereplied.
"You and me both. Now hurry and get ready, before the restaurant gets busy!" Ruth told Jasmine as Ruth left the room.
"I'm moving. I'm moving." Y/N replied as she got dressed.
Jasmine changed into a brand new purple dress. She pulled hair back and ran out the door sliding on her shoes. Jasmine and Ruth cracked their front door open and peeked out and watched the town old people bicker loudly. People, who were up, were purposely avoiding the two and the two girls knew why. The two old people would always drag whoever is closest to them into it. Unfortunately, Ruth and Jasmine lived right between the two old people and those two old people fought every. Single. Day. Right. In front. Of. Jasmine and Ruth's. Yard. All. Day. Long. If the two girls didn't get out fast enough, they'd get dragged into it. "So how do you want to avoid them this time?" Ruth asked Jasminequietly.
"Walk out naturally and then run if they try to talk to us." Jasmine replied as she looked at Ruth.
"Okay." Ruth nodded.
The two girls exited the house quietly trying to avoid being spotted, but it didn't work. They were spotted however the girls made a run for it. Luckily, they were able to escape. They went to the restaurant and ate breakfast before they went shopping. Jasmine smiled at some of the clothing she found. She pointed to a cute dark blue shirt and pointed out. "Hey! Look at this Ruth! This color reminds me of Oni-Chan! He always had a thing for dark colors!"
"Hey, you remembered something." Ruth smiled at Jasmine.
"I did, huh? So I know he likes dark clothes and he's iron."
"What?"
"Don't ask. I don't remember." Jasmine told Ruth.
"I won't." Ruth shook her head as she looked at some jewelry.
After a while of shopping, the girls stopped a restaurant and Jasmine ordered almost everything off the menu. Ruth, however, just ordered a strawberry kiwi shake. Jasmine looked at her and asked. "Hey, Who was your best friend back in the day?"
"Back in the day? You make me sound old." Ruth lifted an eyebrow at me.
"Well we are getting there."
"In maybe fifty to one hundred years."
"Just answer my question!" Jasmine told her.
"Well..." she smiled. "I had two best friends back when I was a child. One of them was an Exceed called Shagotte."
"Shagotte?" I questioned.
"Yeah! We both used to walk around the halls of the castle and talk. We even sometimes played games like hide and seek or tag."
"Who's the other?" I asked her as I lifted an eyebrow.
"Oh..." Ruth laughed. "Since he had a long name I called him Pan."
"Pan? Isn't that a girl name?"
"I think it can be either one." Ruth replied.
"Okay What did you two do?"
"Nothing."
"Wow, some relationship." Jasmine said with a sweat drop on the back of my head.
"Well we can't actually play games since he's always busy, but we did talk."
"Oh! You had that kind of relationship."
"YeahSince my Dad was the General we actually hung out a lot."
"So Pan was training under your dad?"
"Yep."
"What happened to Shagotte and Pan now?"
"No idea." Ruth shrugged. "I guess they're back in Edolas."
"Before we move on to me, How'd you get here anyway?"
"No idea. At one moment I'm flying around the world, trying to find Pan in Edolas and the next poof! 18pt;"=""I'm here."
"Strange."
"Okay your turn."
"My best friend was Oni-Chan! I don't remember his real name for some reason. I don't even remember what he looks like." Jasmineput her hand on the right side of her forehead. "Id have to guess my injury had something to do with it."
"Probably. You did tell me some travelers found you at the bottom of a cliff side in pretty rough shape with a and injury on your head. You probably lost some memory, including your oni-Chan, from that injury."
"I wish I knew where he was and what his name was and what he looked like. I'd totally go and find him. However, somewhere in my mind, I feel like he wouldn't even remember me for some odd reason."
"Hm." Ruth frowned. Soon enough the food came and they devoured it, or at least Jasmine did. Ruth just savored hers. How can she do that?
style=""font-size:" 18pt;"=""Jasmine asked herself mentally as she stared at Ruth.
I can't savor my food without guzzling it down in the end. Ruth lookedat Jasmine and smiled
as she stated. "I have self control."
"Hey!" Jasminegave Ruth a look as she just laughed. Somehow she always knows what Jasmine thinking. It waskind of scary. They left the restaurant later that day, after paying. They walked through the village some more before they finally sat down outside it and stared at the clouds. They discovered shapes in the clouds and pointed them out to each other. Jasmine looked at Ruth and asked. "Hey Ruth?"
"Hm?"
"You've been around Fiore right? Did you... by chance see..."
"Jasmine, Idon't know what your brother looks like. Even if I did I couldn't tell. It was so long ago." Ruth told me sadly.
"I know, I know. I'm sorry. I always forget you weren't there with me."
"Yeah. It seems like we've known each other for years."
"Mmhm!" Jasminenodded. "I'm glad we're friendsters!"
"What?"
"Friendsters. We're friends and sisters, friendsters."
"Oh." Ruth smiled.
They were silent a while. Jasminestared at the sky and thought of my brother who Jasmine couldn't remember. What kind of hair does he have? What about his eyes? What was he like? Did he join Phantom Lord like he wanted to? How is he...? Jasmine
style=""font-size:" 18pt;"=""sat up swiftly making Ruth turn to look at her.Wait! Phantom Lord! The guild my brother was going to join! Jasmine looked at Ruth and asked swiftly yet seriously. "Hey, Where's the Phantom Lord Guild at?!"
"Huh? Uh... I think that guild disbanded like twelve years ago." Ruth told me. "Why?"
"That's the guild my brother was going to join!" Y/N told her.
"Okay... but there's no way of finding him now that it's disbanded."
"Sure there is. I'm sure if I find the master of the guild I'll be able to find my brother no sweat!" Jasmine stood up and began to run when Ruth called out to her.
"Woah, Jasmine!" Jasmine lookedback at Ruth to see her stand up and continue."Phantom Lord was a dark guild! That master isn't going to be friendly!"
"So? We live next to Mr. Grouch and Mrs. Impossible. This guy will be a piece of cake!" Jasmine winked before running off with Ruth flying after Jasmine.
