Aaahhh! Next chapter. Maybe things will get better for Maxi. Fingers are crossed. And one more thing, please review.=)

Maxi, Xiba, Leixia and Natsu made it to their cabin and they were all tired out.

" Finally we're back.'' Xiba said as he fell backwards on his bed.

(Sigh) ''Xiba you are so lazy.'' Leixia said as she quietly sat down on her bed.

" Alright everyone get some sleep. We'll be up in a few hours.

All of them went to sleep right away and stayed that way for the whole night.

The next morning Maxi was the first to wake up and he looked around to find that Leixia, Xiba and Natsu were still sleeping but he promised them he would take them to the academy today. So he decided to wake them up.

" Hey guys time to rise.''

(No response)

" Come on kids!"

(Still no response)

" Oooooo! Steam buns and their free!" Maxi said making Xiba jump out of his bed.

" What! Steam buns! Where!" Xiba said getting all excited and waking up Natsu and Leixia.

" Haha got you!'' Maxi said laughing at Xiba and making him mad.

" Hey Maxi! That's not funny! I thought there was real steam buns here.'' Xiba pouted.

" I promised you guys about the academy and we will head out right now." Maxi said happily as he turned around and went out the door.

" Maxi wait!" Natsu said touching his shoulder.

" Yeah?'' Maxi answered.

" So this Kilik guy. Is he dead or alive?'' She asked curiously.

" I don't know. Maybe dead.'' Maxi replied.

So all four of them left the house to go to the academy. It was a long walk there but it was worth it. They were cracking jokes, laughing and having a good time. When they finally got there, Natsu, Leixia and Xiba were wowed by the sight they were seeing.

" Whoa this is huge.'' Leixia said as she started to explore the place.

" Man." Xiba said.

" Xiba do you like it?'' Natsu asked smiling.

" No! Where are the steam buns!'' Xiba said walking off.

'' Really?'' Natsu asked herself as she walked towards Maxi.

" Hey Maxi? Do we really have to be here?'' She asked.

" Yep.'' He answered.

She rolled her eyes and turned her back on him. She turned around to find a man wearing blue and gold. Natsu was lovestruck by his looks. The man turned around and saw Natsu. He then started to walk towards her direction but he just walked passed her. Leixia was looking for her and finally found her standing like a statue and looking straight ahead without blinking. Leixia was really confused to find her that way.

" Natsu? Are you okay?'' She asked poking her head.

" Oh sorry. I'm fine. I just saw the most handsomest man on planet earth!'' She said now looking at Leixia smiling.

" Wait! Do you mean Maxi!" She asked opening her eyes wide.

'' NO! EW! It was someone else!'' She answered looking away.

'' Ooooooo! Natsu's in loooooove!'' Leixia said in a sing-song voice.

'' Sssssshhh! Be quiet! You don't want Maxi listening.'' She said covering Leixia's mouth.

Maxi heard his name being mentioned so went to where Leixia and Natsu were talking.

'' Hey ladies. What are you talking about?'' He asked flipping his hair.

" NOTHING!'' They both said at the same.

" MAXI!" The voice yelled from a long way.

Maxi turned around to see his long-lost friend Kilik standing there waving his arm.

" Hey Kilik!" Maxi yelled doing the same.

Maxi ran to him as Kilik walked. Natsu started to scream and grab Leixia's torso then started to shake her.

" AAAHHH! Leixia that's him! That's him!'' Natsu said screaming.

Leixia looked other her shoulder to see Kilik talking to Maxi.

'' Well then Natsu. You now got a good taste in boys.'' She said smiling.

Maxi looked at Leixia and Natsu and waved his hand as if he were telling them to come here. They obeyed him and walked to where he was.

" Girls this is Kilik. My best friend I kept telling you about.'' Maxi said looking at Kilik who now giving Leixia a little smile.

Hi! My name is Leixia and my friend Natsu loves y...

Natsu slapped her mouth shut.

'' She means that I love to meet people. That's all.'' She said blushing.

'' Then why are you blushing?'' Kilik asked trying hard not to laugh.

'' W...What? (faint)

Maxi ran to her side and started to fan her.

" Is she okay!'' Kilik asked worried.

'' Don't worry she's fine.'' Maxi said calmly.

Xiba was looking for Maxi until he found Kilik standing there looking down at Natsu who was unconscious on the floor.

" Natsu!" He cried.

" Xiba your here too?'' Kilik asked walking to him.

" Yes I am.'' He answered.

" Have you been training like I told you?'' Kilik asked.

" Weeeell. Not really but Maxi tries and he's better than nothing.'' Xiba said smiling at Maxi.

'' That's great. So Xiba how do you like the academy?'' Kilik asked taking one step closer tohim.

'' It's not really how I imagined because I thought that everyone was like lined up and listening to the teacher but this is just a bunch of people wearing the same clothes.'' Xiba said looking at the people.

'' Well then let's leave.'' Kilik offered.

'' You can leave like that? Okay let's go.'' Xiba said then looking at Natsu who was now starting to wake up.

'' Huh? What happened?'' She asked holding on to her head.

'' We're leaving.'' Xiba said.

'' Okay." She replied.

Kilik knelled down to her and looked her in the eyes.

'' Are you okay?'' He asked kindly.

" Uh...yes thank you.'' She answered hyperventilating.

Kilik took her hand and helped her off the ground. Maxi, Leixia,Xiba and Natsu left the academy with another travel companion Kilik.

Until next chapter...
