I finished early :D
Wow, long chapter.
Thank you all my followers, reviewers, blah blah blah.
This chapter is dedicated to you!
Enjoy c:
"It's the sea!" Everyone except Eve called out as they approached the beach.
Chung's father reserved the beach for that day so the Elgang could enjoy it as much as they could. Therefore, no one was on the beach at the moment.
"Watermelon splitting! We need to do some watermelon splitting!" Elesis called out as she grabbed a splitting stick and blindfolded herself.
"Aisha, set down a watermelon, somewhere!" Elesis cried out. Aisha saluted and placed the watermelon right in front of her.
"Hoy! Hah! Where is it?!" Elesis yelled, swinging the stick around her in all directions.
"It's right in front of you!" Aisha called out.
Elesis unleashed her final attack and smashed down the stick on the watermelon. There was a huge rumble on the ground before the watermelon burst open, splatting everyone with watermelon guts.
"I'm all sticky!" Rena said, looking at her self, covered with watermelon seeds and pink liquid.
Eve took no offense at this, however, she wanted to wash herself off so she headed for the ocean.
"Eve, going for a swim already?" Elsword asked Eve as he took the watermelon seeds off his body and ate them. Aisha came up to him and wacked him on the head with her staff.
"No, just to wash myself off. I dislike being slimy." Eve replied. Add caught sight of Eve and he followed her, but hiding behind her.
Eve approached the water and kicked off her flip flops before feeling a great force on her back that shoved her into the ocean.
Eve got back up and looked behind her to see Add, laughing his ass off at her sudden "accident".
Eve walked up to him, grabbed him by the wrists, then spun him around and threw him into the ocean. She wiped her hands together, grabbed her flip flops, and set off to set up a resting station.
"Next on the list is fishing!" Elesis read aloud, trailing her finger down on a piece of paper.
Elesis grabbed a fishing pole and headed for the ocean, whereas Aisha did the same and followed her.
"Ooh, fishing! I love fishing! Can I join? My brother and I always used to catch crayfish together!" Ara exclaimed.
"Of course!" Elesis set down her gear by the side of the ocean and let her fishing hook go.
Ara followed and did the same as both Elesis and Aisha.
"Ooh, I caught something!" Elesis exclaimed. Aisha and Ara's eyes lit up in excitement.
Elesis gave a few, large heaves and trapped on her hook was Add, being lifted up by his swim trunks.
"AHHHHHH!" Add screamed like a little girl and covered his exposed butt.
Elesis stared in disappointment then let her fishing hook go and fall to the ground.
"NOOOOOo-" Add yelled before falling down into the ocean again.
"Can we move on?" Aisha asked, also staring at the ocean in disappointment.
"Yeah..." Elesis trailed off, looking at Ara, who was also staring at the ocean in disappointment.
Elesis took out her piece of paper and her disappointment disappeared as she looked at the next thing on the list.
"Volleyball!" Elesis told Aisha and Ara.
Aisha and Ara's faces brightened and they smiled.
"All right Elgang! We're playing beach volleyball next thing!" Elesis called out to everyone on the beach.
"EVEEEEEEEE!" Add screamed Eve's name as he came running out of the water, covered in fish, crabs, and coral.
He charged at Eve.
"What is it?" Eve lifted her head up from her magazine and looked at Add. She put a hand to her mouth and giggled.
"THIS IS NOT FUNNY!" He yelled, pointing at her.
"What do you want me to do about it?" Eve asked. Add smirked as a brilliant idea came into his brain.
"If you can win in a volleyball match against me, I'll let you off the hook. If you can't, then it's punishment time." He said.
"Alright." Eve said, setting down her magazine and standing up. "Bring it on."
"Elesis, may I borrow your volleyball?" Eve asked as Elesis walked back to camp.
"Huh, but, we were gonna play-"
"Erm, Add and I were just gonna have one quick match between the two of us." Eve explained.
"Oh, that sounds exciting!" Elesis said, handing Eve the volleyball. Eve took it from her and walked over to one side of the volleyball court, and Add walked on the other side.
"The winning score is 21." Add said. Eve nodded.
"You can serve." Add said. Eve got into position and threw the ball into the air. She hit it with her fist and it flew over to the other side, where Add missed it and it hit the ground.
"Ooh, I didn't expect that. You're pretty good." Add smirked and picked up the ball. He served it and the ball flew over to Eve's side at tremendous speed. Eve fell to the ground and hit it with both her fists. Luckily, the ball flew into the air, and Eve got up fast enough and passed it over to Add's side.
Without trying, Add bumped the ball back over to Eve's side.
Five minutes had passed and the score was 11:8, Add having the former and Eve having the latter.
Eve wiped her sweat-covered forehead. Add smirked and served the ball once more.
However, Eve was not ready to give up yet. She did NOT want to get that punishment from Add. Who knew what he would do to her, other than steal her codes?
Add started laughing like a maniac and smacked the ball with his fist hard, and it soared over to Eve's side and hit the ground.
A few more minutes passed and the score was 17:12. Eve was losing, and she didn't know how to establish a counter attack.
"Eve...!" Add chanted her name, once Eve used her fists to pass it over to his side once more.
How...Am I going to do this?!
Add sent the ball flying over, and it hit the ground right next to Eve, making her fall down from the force of impact.
The score was 20:15
"Eve... Just one more!" Add said. A strangely-shaped purple aura engulfed his body, and his eyes glowed purple.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" He yelled, jumping up in the air and punching the ball.
The ball came crashing towards Eve at such a speed that it would possibly destroy her, but she took no risks and tried to stop the ball.
It slammed onto her stomach, and sent her flying backwards. The ball fell down onto the beach sand, and Add smirked, then punched the air. "Yes! YES!" He said to himself.
"EVE!" Elesis shouted, running towards Eve's figure, laying sprawled out on the sand in the distance.
"Eve, are you okay?!" Elesis asked, dusting the sand off of her body.
The rest of the Elgang followed, and Chung went up to Eve and gave her his energy drink. She took a small sip then handed it back to him.
"Eve, you did a good job, but the score was 21:15. You lose." Elesis announced. Eve looked at Add, standing away from the Elgang and looking extremely excited.
"It's alright." Eve said, standing up.
"I'm going to back to my resting area." Eve replied, grabbing her pair of sunglasses and putting them on her eyes.
Eve approached her seat and lay down on it, grabbing her magazine.
"Well, whatever floats your boat, Eve..." Elesis mumbled, then checked her list.
"Jet skiing! You can't go on the beach without jet skiing!" Elesis announced.
Elesis walked over to a dock and grabbed 9 jets skiis.
Eve dropped her magazine when she felt someone tap her shoulder. She looked behind her to see Add, smirking.
"First punishment is to ride with me on my jet skii." He said.
"Huh? What makes you think I would-"
Eve was cut off when Add grabbed her wrists and brought his face close to hers. She felt a hot temperature on her cheeks, but shook it off as a small defunction.
Add kept his hold on her wrists, and he dragged her over to the jet skiis, where Elesis and the Elgang was.
"Me and Eve are riding on the same jet skii." Add winked.
"Ooh, how exciting!" Elesis said.
Add hopped on the lilac-colored jet skii, and Eve got on right behind him.
She looked back to see the Elgang, all of them looking at her with anticipation and excitement.
Eve ignored it and put her arms around his waist. Add blushed at the contact; thank god nobody could see him like this.
Wait, why was he blushing in the first place?!
Add ignored it and started up the jet skii. Eve's arms held on tighter to him, as she was scared of falling off.
The jet skii streamed across the water extremely fast, and Eve started yelling.
"Woooooooohooooooo!" Add cried out, smiling.
"ADD! EVE!" Aisha's voice came from behind them. Add turned his head around, and saw Aisha tearing across the water with her purple jet skii, and Ara on her orange jet skii, but, standing on her spear not bothering to control the jet skii?
"ARA! THAT'S DANGEROUS!" Add put his hands over his mouth and yelled to Ara.
"IT'S OK!" Aisha yelled to him. "THE HAAN FAMILY IS KNOWN FOR DOING STUPID THINGS LIKE THAT!"
"Hohoho!" Elesis laughed while chasing after Elsword. "AHHHHH! SOMEONE HELP ME! SHES CRAZY, CRAZY I TELL YOU!" Elsword screamed.
Chung, Rena, and Raven had a race, whereas Rena was winning.
Chung laughed; but didn't catch himself fast enough and the jet skii went out of control.
It teared across the water and hit Add's jet skii. Add looked back and, in slow motion, he saw Eve falling down...
His world stopped; his heart did the same thing. Eve, with her arm stuck out, terror struck on her face, and screaming his name...
She fell into the water and Add looked at the rippling waves for a few seconds; paralyzed, unable to do anything.
"EVE!" He screamed her name as loud as he could.
The last thing Eve saw was Add, swimming towards her, as she closed her eyes and sunk into unconsciousness, falling deeper into the ocean...
Eve woke up in her bed; she was confused as to why she was there and what happened to her.
Surrounding her was the Elgang, with worried expressions on their faces.
"Eve! You're up!" Elesis touched Eve's cheeks and stretched them out.
"Elesis, what are you doing?" Eve asked, annoyed.
Eve's eyes flickered over to Add, and he was still staring at her with fear.
"What happened?" Eve asked.
"You were unconscious! Thank god Add saved you! It was so scary, I was so scared, Eve, don't do that to me again!" Elesis cried out, hugging Eve.
Add... saved me?
"So sorry, Eve, I didn't mean to bump into you! I swear!" Chung exclaimed.
Ah... I remember now..
"That's alright." Eve said, slipping out of her bed and standing up.
"Eve, you need to rest-" Rena started.
"No, really, I'm fine." Eve explained.
"For hurting Eve, Chung must be punished!" Elesis grabbed Elsword's neck.
"Why... Me?!" Elsword asked, his face turning blue.
"We're playing Hide and Seek! Whoever finds Eve first wins the last slice of strawberry cake!" Elesis announced. Instantly, everyone's heads turned to Eve, and their eyes glowed red.
"The last slice of cake?" They repeated with dark voices.
"I want that cake." Elesis's eyes glowed red, and she cracked her knuckles.
"Eve, go hide somewhere, quickly!" Aisha said, pushing Eve.
"Ahh, okay." Eve said, dashing off somewhere.
"THAT CAKE IS MINE, SIS." Elsword's angry voice could be heard from Eve, who was walking towards the elevator to go the 7th floor.
"I'll be getting that cake before all of you can hope to say your last words." Rena said.
Add looked off into the distance, and he spaced out.
Eve found what she was looking for; the door to room 613.
"I've heard rumors of this room being haunted." Eve said, opening the door without fear.
Her eyes met a dark, gloomy room, with silk tapestries leading to a balcony, a dining table, a broken mirror, and a portrait of a woman with black hair.
"Is that Irene?" Eve asked, running her hands on the picture of the beautiful woman.
"Eve..." Eve heard a voice from the portrait.
"Eep!" Eve squeaked, jumping back.
Rena's head crashed through the portrait, she was drooling.
"That cake is mine!" Rena fell through and hit the ground. Eve took the chance and ran out of the room.
Eve ran in the hallways, and spotted Raven, who walked towards her.
"Cake..." He muttered.
Eve was cornered, crashing through the roof was Elesis, holding her sword and falling on top of Eve.
"MY CAKE!" Elesis shouted.
"What, NO!" Rena jumped on top of Elesis.
"NOOOOO!" Raven held out his Nasod arm.
Elesis was contempt, and stuck a fork through the piece of strawberry shortcake.
Everyone in the Elgang looked mad at Elesis, and they all crossed their arms. All of them except for Add.
"We should do something. The day's not over yet." Eve said.
"It's almost nighttime, so... How about the amusement park?" Elesis suggested.
"Ah, I can just imagine it! The view of Hamel as we reach the top of the ferris wheel." Ara clapped her hands together and daydreamed.
Aisha checked her watch. "It's 4PM right now. We could go anytime." She explained.
"Everyone get dressed, we're going to the amusement park!" Elesis held out her arm and shouted. "Yeah!" The Elgang replied.
Eve was dressed in a white blouse, a medium-length white lace skirt, and blue flats.
The Elgang reached their destination, the amusement park. It was starting to reach sunset, and the Elgang planned on staying there for a while. Not ironically, the amusement park had quite a lot of people, but not enough to be crowded.
"Eve and I are going to do some games together." Add said, grabbing Eve's hands and leading her to a water squirting game.
"What are these called?" Eve looked around at all the game stations.
"Carnival Games." Add replied, giving the owner money and placing his eye through the scope. "You spend money and either win or lose."
Add aimed then pulled the trigger; he was surprisingly skilled at this.
"Oh!" Eve gasped in surprise as he hit all his targets in one go.
"What would you like, sir?" The owner asked Add.
Add turned his head to Eve. "Eve, what do you want?"
"Me? Well..." Eve's eyes gazed upon a large, pink stuffed bear that caught her heart.
Add noticed this and got it for Eve. He took the bear from the owner's arms and gave it to Eve.
"Kyaaa! So cute!" Eve stuffed her face in the bear's. Add smiled, then flicked the back of her head.
"Ow..." Eve rubbed the back of her head and followed him to where he was going next.
Add stopped in front of a bumper cars station.
"We're going here next." He said.
"Eh? But, wouldn't it be more fun if-" Eve was cut off by Add grabbing her hand and pushing her in a cart.
Add got in a cart himself; soon they were surrounded by strangers. Add's eyes could only notice Eve, however...
"That was fun." Eve said, walking with Add to the food court to get drinks, holding her large pink stuffed bear.
Add dialed a few numbers on his phone, then checked his messages. "Looks like the gangs' here." He said, flipping his phone closed.
Elesis spotted Add and Eve walking, and she waved to them.
Eve sat down next to Elesis, whereas Add sat diagonally across from her, next to Raven.
"I thought you two were gonna have your own day all to yourselves or something." Elesis spoke out loud, sipping her Sprite.
Add's cheeks turned red and he wiped them.
"No, I don't think I'd allow him to do such strange things to me." Eve replied casually. Elesis spit out her drink. "WHAT? REALLY?!"
"NO! WE ARE NOT IN THAT SORT OF RELATIONSHIP!" Add yelled at Elesis.
"Ah, I see. It sure is getting dark though, isn't it?" Elesis and the Elgang looked up at the sky, to see the sun was already set and dark was coming.
"At nighttime, we should be going on the ferris wheel and the cabel car!" Rena suggested.
"Of course we're going to do that." Chung said, standing up. "I've already got cable car tickets for the 9 of us." He pulled out 9 tickets from his wallet.
"Wow, so formal and prepared." Aisha stared in awe.
The Elgang finished and they all followed Chung to the cable car. Dark had already come, and the city lights streamed the city and amusement park.
"Oh, it looks like only 4 can fit one car." Chung said, looking at a rule scoreboard.
"Um, may Add and I go in a car alone, just the two of us?" Eve asked. Add looked at her in surprise.
"Oh, yeah, I guess that means you four girls and us three guys, then..." Chung said, hopping in a car with Raven and Elsword.
"Raven!" Rena held her arm out towards him. "On second thought, I think I'll-" Aisha grabbed Rena's arm and pulled her back into the girls' car. "You're not going anywhere, Rena..." Aisha's dark voice said.
Eve got in the third car and sat herself down on the seat. Add placed himself on the seat across from her.
The cable car started up and Eve looked out the window to see the gorgeous strobe lights; flickering on and off, the reflection shining in her robotic eyes.
She turned back to Add, who was staring at her.
"Why do you give no effort to steal my codes?" Eve asked him.
Add looked into her eyes for a few seconds, then heaved a sigh.
"I don't know, I'm trying to sort out my own feelings at the moment." He said, placing elbow on the window railing and resting his hand upon his cheek.
"Answer me seriously." Eve commanded.
"I am answering you seriously." He replied.
Eve twiddled her thumbs before Add spoke up.
"Whenever I think about taking your system apart, inspecting your circuits, your electronics, wires, battery chips, I get so excited but at the same time, I feel regret, sadness, despair, and grief. I just don't understand." He said, catching a glimpse of Eve's eyes. He quickly positioned his eyes onto the window next to him to look away.
"I'm sure you know I am only just a machine." Eve started off.
"You're not just a machine." Add said, Eve looking thunderstruck at his sudden comment.
"You have emotions, and human functions inside of you. I don't know how they did it; whoever created you was an amazing person." Add looked at the ground in embarassment.
"Even if I don't look like I feel them, I really do." Eve replied. "I think I know how you feel." Eve stared at her feet. Add looked at her; shocked.
"I think... that what you're feeling at the moment is..care." Eve replied, her cheeks feeling hot all of a sudden.
"Ah, no..." Eve touched her cheeks and felt them. "Why do my cheeks feel hot?"
"You're blushing." Add replied, embarassed. "You know, when blood rushes to your face."
"Yes, I understand, but why does it suddenly occur?" Eve asked. She noticed Add's face turn a brighter shade of red.
"I can't tell you the reason why yet." He said, his eyes hidden beneath his bangs.
"Ah, I see." Eve said. "So you're never going to steal my codes?"
Add's eyes revealed themselves.
"Just give me some time. I'll think about what you said." He told her. She nodded.
A few seconds later, the cable car halted to a stop.
"Time flew by." Eve said as she walked out of the cable car door first, then Add walking out after her.
"That was so fun!" Aisha announced, holding up her arms and stretching.
"You know what means? It's time for the ferris wheel!" Rena said. The whole Elgang walked together to the over-sized Ferris Wheel, decorated with rainbow lights.
"Look! It's big enough to fit all of us!" Elesis announced, grabbing her brother by the waist and jumping in the passenger car.
"Elsword can sit on my lap since he's a lttle baby because he's still afraid of heights!" Elesis teased, stretching out Elsword's cheeks.
Chung sat down next to Raven, who sat next to Rena, who sat to Elesis with Aisha on her lap. Eve sat down in a seat and Ara sat on one side to her. Add sat on the other.
The passenger car lifted them up slowly but surely, and everyone looked at the sky and at eachother with anticipated, excited expressions.
All except Eve, who just stared with her usual poker face.
In a few minutes, the Elgang reached the top of the Ferris Wheel, and that's when the golden moment struck. The Ferris Wheel froze in motion, and the Elgang all looked out at the view before them.
The city of Hamel, covered with colorful lights, shiny blue water, and beautiful white marble buildings that sparkled in the moonlight.
That one streak of moonlight that Add's eye had caught shone upon Eve, herself.
Eve turned around to face him; and she actually smiled at him.
She leaned in and whispered in Add's ears, "Thank you".
It took Add a few moments to realize what just happened. Reality sunk in and he blushed hard. Thank god nobody could see.
Thank god Eve couldn't see.
"Aww, no dance club?" Aisha pouted.
"Aisha, I'll have you know that those are for 18 year olds." Elesis explained.
"But I'm 18." Aisha replied casually.
"Aisha, just don't... go there..." Rena said, looking at Raven with the Excalibur expression.
Raven gladly returned the face.
"Aren took me into one of those when I was 8." Ara's face quickly faded from a smile into the excalibur expression.
"We're going to sleep! GET IN BED NOW!" Elesis yelled at everyone, holding up her claymore.
Everyone ran for their lives and jumped into their beds when they reached their rooms in the hotel.
"Eve... Get up..." Elesis whispered, shaking Eve's body.
Eve fluttered her eyes open, then tore the covers off of her.
Eve looked around to see Ara wearing a long pink dress, with her hair up in the Yama Raja style.
"We're going on a picnic for lunch. And then after that, Chung has prepared a special event for us." Elesis winked.
"Ah, I see..." Eve said, changing her clothes from pajamas to capris with a striped T-shirt and a white jacket.
"But first..." Elesis finished putting up her hair in the Saber Knight style. She grabbed a pillow and threw it over to Eve.
"PILLOW FIGHT!" Elesis swiftly grabbed a pillow and pounced on Ara. "Kyaaaa!" Ara said, covering her face.
Elesis hit Ara with the pillow repeatedly, all over her body.
"Why, you!" Ara said, reaching for a pillow then forcing a counterattack on Elesis's face.
Eve stood up in her bed then threw the pillow at Ara's face.
"Oh, you wanna go?" Ara asked in a dark voice.
"I'm pretty fast, you won't be able to catch me." Eve replied.
"We'll see about that." Ara said, jumping in the air and flying at Eve.
Eve dodged it and jumped away, with Ara hitting the wall.
"Elesis, why are we having a pillow fight in the first place?" Eve asked.
"Dunno, just bored." Elesis said.
The door was knocked on a few times and Elesis went up to go answer it.
"Yes?" Elesis asked, seeing it was Chung at the door.
"We're all ready. Come on, let's go." He said.
Elesis, Eve, and once Ara fell out of her daze, she left the room in a hurry to catch up with the rest.
"I think we should stay here." Eve said, picking a sunny spot on top of a green hill nearby Hamel's Sunken Resiam site.
This spot was known for its large Maple Tree. The orange leaves fell one by one, onto the red and white patterened cloth Elesis was setting up for their picnic.
Ara held the picnic basket, she set it down once Elesis motioned her to.
"Marshmallows!" Aisha yelled as her face fell on Rena's marshmallows.
"MY MARSHMALLOWS!" Rena cried out as she lifted Aisha's head and grabbed her bag of marshmallows. "DONT' SQUISH THEM!"
"Rena... Why do you have a bag of marshmallows?" Chung asked.
"No reason." Rena said, opening the bag and putting one in her mouth.
"Ara... What did you prepare this morning for us?" Elesis asked.
"Well..." Ara said, opening the basket and taking out sandwiches, apples, bananas, lemonade, and cheese. "I brought more than this, but I think this is what we should start off with."
Eve looked up at the Maple Tree, and slowly, one fell on her face.
Someone grabbed the leaf off of her face, and she turned around to see Add, giving her that one irritating smirk.
"Add."
"Eve."
Eve looked at him with no expression, as always.
He returned the stare.
The silence broke when a maple leaf fell on Add's face. Eve put a hand over her mouth and giggled.
"IT'S NOT FUNNY!" He yelled, crunching the leaf in his hand.
"Ara, you look beautiful today." Chung said, taking Ara's hand in his.
"Surprise bitchslap." Ara said, slapping him on the cheek. Chung fell over and lost consciousness.
"What does Elbrat want for lunch?" Aisha said, climbing on top of Elsword.
"Aisha... stop, STOP!" Elsword said, holding out his hands. They accidently grabbed her breasts.
"They're so small." He said. She kicked him in the face.
"Staring contest!" Rena said, looking Raven in the eyes. He looked shocked for a second, then proceeded to stare into her eyes without blinking.
A few seconds later, their expressions gave off looks of... desire.
Rena collapsed on Raven. "Raven-kun!" She said playfully, kissing his cheek.
"R-Rena!" He said back, holding her waist.
"Ara, let's play janken." Elesis said, holding out both her hands, one shaped into a fist.
"Ah, okay." Ara said, playing along.
Ara held out scissors, and Elesis held out paper.
Elesis gave Ara a look of death, then growled.
"Eeeeeeep!" Ara squealed, trying to run away.
"GET BACK HERE! WE STILL HAVEN'T SETTLED THIS!" Elesis said, chasing after Ara.
"Wuehhhhhh!" Ara cried, running around in circles.
"What a group of two year olds." Eve stated. Add nodded.
"Add, why are you hanging out with me?" Eve asked.
"Well, why not? I am inspecting you to find ways to steal your codes." He replied.
"Shhhhh! What if they hear?" Eve scolded Add.
"Sorry." Add said, rubbing the back of his head and looking away.
"Go ahead and eat, everyone!" Ara said, running back to the picnic after getting Elesis's mind off the subject of punishment.
Everyone walked forward and took some food.
"Mmmm, these are good, Ara!" Chung said, taking a bite out of a sandwich.
"Chung! When did you wake up?" Ara asked in surprise.
"Huh, what do you mean?" He asked.
"Nothing." Ara said, grabbing some taiyaki out of her basket.
"The dessert is mochi." Ara announced, giving Elesis some taiyaki.
Eve was the only one not eating.
"Eve, you're not hungry?" Raven asked.
Eve shook her head and walked away to the other side of the Maple Tree.
She stared out into the city, thinking about all her memories with the Elgang.
"Eve." Add's voice rung in her ears.
"What do you want?" Eve said, leaving her relaxing daydream.
"What are you doing?"
Eve thought about it for a moment, in fact, she couldn't really answer that question.
"I'm unsure." She replied.
Add placed himself next to Eve. Eve scooted away, irritated.
"I want your codes." He said out of the blue.
"I know."
He looked her in the eyes.
"Once you revive the Nasod Kingdom, what are you going to do?" He asked.
"Dunno, never thought about it." She replied, then looked over to him. "What are you planning on doing after you steal my codes?"
"Dunno, never thought about it." He said the same thing as her.
"Alriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight, everyone!" Chung said loudly. "The special thing I have prepared for you, listen closely!"
Add and Eve walked out from behind the tree and sat down on the picnic cloth.
"We're going to a museum!" Chung threw his arms up in the air.
Everyone looked at him. "Yay!" Aisha shouted.
"Okay." Everyone else said, not excited.
"Welcome to Hamel's greatest museum!" Chung said, the sliding doors opening as Chung walked in.
The place was crowded today, lots of people bowed as they caught sight of Chung.
"Prince Chung!" The manager walked forward and shook his hands, then bowed.
"Oh, please, you don't have to do that!" Chung said, embarassed.
"I'll be showing my friends around today." Chung looked at the Elgang.
"Come on guys, let's go." He said.
"First, we have this." Chung said, walking forward to the first thing he saw. "It is a painting of me. So beautiful, huh?" Chung asked.
"Oh, how... gorgeous." Rena said, looking at the hideous painting.
"Next, we have a statue of my father, Helputt." He said. The statue was huge, almost 15 times larger than Chung himself.
"And..." Chung said, walking forward. "Oh, it's a painting. A painting of the Nasod Kingdom in its reign."
Eve started sweating as her eyes met the painting. The painting had the Nasod King, Nasod miners, Nasod scorpions, Nasod guards, all Nasod monsters. Eve felt like she was gonna be sick as she held her hand over her mouth.
Eve fell to the ground and held her stomach.
"Eve, are you okay?!" Chung almost yelled.
"I...I have to go to the bathroom." Eve said, getting off the ground and sprinting for the bathroom.
"I'll go after her." Add said, running after Eve.
Eve made her way through the crowd, fear embodying her.
Add tried his best to follow her, but was he swallowed by the people he tried to get around.
After a few minutes, Eve finally made it, and luckily, no other person was inside the bathroom.
She started hyperventilating, and she couldn't stop.
"Whats...wrong...with me?" She spoke, looking at her shaking hands.
She fell to the ground, hard. She could feel her system shutting down due to pressure.
"Ah...Ahh..." She whimpered, her body changing temperatures.
A few seconds later, Add rushed in the room and froze at the sight of Eve. All curled up, laying on the ground, unable to stop shaking.
"Eve, EVE!" Add yelled, turning Eve over. "Oh my god, oh my god..." He said, lifting her porcelain arm and inspecting it.
"It's cold... No, it's hot... It's cold again?!" He said.
"Add..." Eve rasped out.
"Eve?!"
Eve held out her arms towards him. "Add, I..."
Add grabbed her and hugged her.
"Add, I'm scared!" She said.
"It's okay Eve, it's okay..." He said, holding her close.
"I'm scared!"
"Eve, I'm right here!"
"I'm scared, I'm afraid, I can't..."
"Don't worry Eve, don't worry..."
"Add!"
"I've got you, I've got you..."
She clenched his shirt in fear.
"I'll always be here for you, Eve."
Eve woke up in her bed, Add sitting on the edge.
"Eve..."
"Add, thank you for taking care of me. Where is everyone else?" Eve asked, looking around.
"Lighting fireworks outside." He said, pointing his head in the direction of the window. Eve slipped out of her bed and walked towards the window.
There was everyone, holding glowsticks, sparklers, and playing with them.
"Eve, I wanna show you something." He said. "Punishment."
Eve walked out of the hotel with him, and outside.
They walked towards a grassy edge, bordering the land and the sand.
Add sat down and Eve sat down right next to him.
"Look at the moon." He said. Eve's eyes wandered up to the moon.
"What do you see?" He asked.
"Wishes." She replied.
"That's exactly what I thought." He smiled.
