20 reviews!! .

You all are so kind!

for staying with my for so long!

I won't let you'll down!

Trust me! I just finished my drafts for the

rest of the story! and it's going to be...

well I'll just leave it to ya'll to judge that!

'Damn it! damn it all! why!? why did I have to see that! of all things why that!' Anise's mind raced as her legs kept her running, she wanted, needed to get away from them, from him! the one person who she thought was her best friend! the one person who understood her better than anyone in the world.

'Heh look at us now, it's like I don't know him at all' her tears refused to fall anymore as she stopped her running and looked up at the apple tree they would sit in, only to clench her fist as boiling anger fumed its way into her heart, twisting and wrenching it,

'Why should I care about that guy! it's not like he ever cared much about my feelings! when I told him that I liked Ion he just laughed at me and told me to stop thinking in fairytales' Anise's chocolate colored eyes stared up through the tree, the light shadows shown on her tanned face giving her a look of pure sincerity for a moment.

"What he does doesn't matter with me anymore!"

"You don't really think that do you Anise?" a male's voice asked from behind the girl, she slightly jumped and turned to look up into her boyfriends green eyes

"Ion!...I do mean it! what Sync does from now on, I don't care anymore!" she turned her back to the boy her arms crossed tightly over her chest, when she felt Ion's strong arms wound around her shoulders, making her lean back on his small yet very warm chest

"I know Sync hurt you Anise, but he's still your friend"

"So?! he doesn't understand me at all! if he did then he wouldn't be dating Gloomietta!"

"Gloomietta?"

"Arietta! that's what I call her since she's always frowning!" Anise looked forward, not seeing a smile cross Ion's face at the nickname his girlfriend gave the pink haired girl,

"Anise if you knew him so well, then you would have told him that we were dating and not postpone it" Ion explained as he remembered how Anise had told him that she told Sync that she had always had a crush on him but when they were together, she never spoke a word to him.

"I told you! I was angry at him, we had a fight before and I...well" the girls brown eyes looked down as he could feel her body slump against his chest, he held his ground and continued to be there for her to lean on.

"I know Anise, I'm angry at him too but you shouldn't just block him out, you've been friends for so long" Ion persuaded the girl when she twisted her head to look up into the boys eyes,

"Why are you trying to back him up Ion? it's Sync who should apologize to me!"

"..."

"Ion?" chocolate brown eyes began up right as she turned around until both their chest were touching, Anise gently lifted her hand to caress Ion's left cheek bringing him out of his stupor.

"Ion? what's wrong?"

"Please Anise, don't allow this fight to break your friendship with Sync, no matter what happens" the green eyed boy pleaded to the much confusion of Anise

"What happened Ion?"

"I lost a friend long ago, because I didn't tell him of my decision to come to Daath"

"What?" Ion's hands reached up to softly remove Anise's hands from his face as he turned his back to her and told his past mistake. From long ago.

"Florian! hey Florian!!" a boy of the young age of seven ran up to his friend who stood at the port of their home, Yulia city.

"What is it Ion?" a boy similar to the other, turned around as his own green eyes looked at his friend,

"Florian! you know I got the highest grades in school right?"

"Yeah! how could anyone not know?"

"Haha right, but anyway! just now Theodoro said if I wanted to, I could leave Yulia city and go to Daath!" Ion's bright green eyes beamed at his friend's similar green eyes.

"Daath? but why?"

"Well to go to their school of course! they have the best high school in all of Aldrant!"

"High school! but we're just in elementary! why are you thinking so far into the future?!" Florian yelled at his best friend, clearly angry at the fact that they could be broken up. The two had been the best of friends ever since they were in first grade, when Ion would be picked on because he would answer all the questions the teacher would ask. He was the one who had stood up for the boy genius and since then they had been stuck at the waist.

"I know that, but if I put my head into it then I can go to their middle school and then their high school, so I'll have a better chance at making myself better!" Ion beamed with a wide smile across his face, however Florian showed no signs of happiness for his friend,

"Are you just going to leave then? you're just going to up and leave to Daath and never return?!"

"No, I'm going to come back! but...if I go then it would be the best decision!"

"Fine! go! leave me here! you're old enough to protect yourself!" Florian yelled turning his body around to face the port, Ion facing his small back. He always knew Ion was a smart kid, always. But he was also the best friend he ever had, they could talk to each other and understand each other so perfectly! however Florian also knew that one day, Ion was going to leave and he wasn't going to come back, or wait for him to follow. His future was too great to be ignored by age, or promises made long ago.

"Florian! don't be like this! I promise to come back really!"

"No, you won't Ion, you'll do great in middle school and in high school! then you'll go to college to some place even more great! then you'll become so great you'll have no time to come back, and even if you do I won't be here, you know that, I'll have things to do too!" Florian tried to hide his tears through his anger,

"Florian..." Ion's eyes began watery as his tears began to show,

"Go! leave! now...!" the young boy pushed Ion away and ran as fast as his legs could take him.

"FLORIAN!!" Ion's tears never ceased that night, as he boarded the ship to leave Yulia city, and his good friend.

Clear cascading tears fell from Anise's tanned face as she stood before Ion as he clenched his fists in anger and frustration,

"Ion...I'm so sorry" he only shook his head, opening his eyes to stare at the girl wiping her tears understandingly

"You don't have to apologize Anise, it was my fault the I didn't take the time to think of Florian's pain, not yours"

"Ion, I'm so sorry!" she held the boy tightly enough to let him know she was here for him, but not too tight to hurt him more than he already was.

"Tonight, I'll call Sync and talk to him I promise"

"Thank you Anise" Ion smiled, hugging the girl close, "Thank you."

Me- sorry if it's too short

I hope ya'll like this chapter!

I'm really getting back into my TOA mood!
