Chapter 2-
"Hey Lenka! What are you up to? Will you present me your new friend?" A guy with blonde hair in a tiny pony tail said, approaching us with his light blue bicycle. This guy seemed like a creep. Especially the banana picture on the front of his bike.
"This is my friend Rin-chan. I just met her. She's really nice though. In fact, I'm taking her on a tiny trip around this place so she can get familiar with the town." Lenka said. "That's cool. Don't forget that you have to go take care of Luka's garden. She's at the school right now." He said. "Oh right! I almost forgot. Can you take Rin from here? I'll catch on to you later!" Lenka said. "Yeah, fine with me. Take care!" He said, waving to Lenka, who was running now. "Don't worry! I'll be fine!" She said, turning back for a few seconds, with a smile.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. Im Len. Do you want to ride along with me on my bike? I'll be able to show you around more of the place that way." He said. I stood there thinking my possibilities. I could get lost if I didn't accept his offer. But if I did, I would be stuck with this strange person. Better off accepting his offer considering I'm am the alien here.
"Do I take that as a yes or a no?" He said with a smile. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at him. "Ok!" I said. He got on his bike and I sat behind him. He looked back at me, and took my arms putting them around his waist. "Hold on tight!" He said, smiling.
"Don't worry. we'll make it on time." He said, as we got on his bike. If there was one way I could get to places without walking, it had to be his bike.
"Is everything ok?" Len said, making my flashback end. "Yeah, all good!" I said, smiling. That was the strangest flashback of mines yet. But something is still better then remembering nothing, right?
"This here is the library. If you ever need to research anything or just want to relax at a quiet place come here." Len said with a little laugh. "I know what a library is!" I said, laughing as well. "Well just in case. I don't know how foreign you are from here. You may not know anything for all I know." He said. "Just act like if I came from the past or something. foreign enough." I said with a smile. "Haha, you would have to learn a lot if that were the case!" Len said. I nodded. I don't think he realized I really meant that.
"And.. here's my house, if you ever need anything." He said, pointing at a yellow house. "Then.. there's this garden." He said, stopping. "Do you like flowers?" He asked. I nodded. He got off and I followed him into this door in between bushes. "Nobody really knows that this is here. But I love coming here to take care of it. It was ruined before, but I come often to take care of the flowers. It's my little secret garden" He said, walking on a stone path.
The flowers were of all kind: even of colors the rainbow cannot express, and of shapes I had not seen before. I stopped and looked at the butterfly whom did not become frightened from my presence. "Oh, she's back!" Len said, turning to look why I had stopped. "She?" I asked confused. "The butterfly comes very often." He said smiling. I looked at the bright blue butterfly that stood out from the bright red rose.
"Here, the most special one for my lady." Len said, handing me a beautiful flower with a wide variety of colors that made it stand out from the rest. It was almost unreal. "This is so... You didn't color it?!"I said, looking at the flower, then at him. He laughed then pulled me by the hand deeper into the garden.
The view was spectacular, exotic flowers that seemed to come from a persons imagination. It was just to beautiful to be true.
"Just planting them took a long time. If I had colored them, I would probably be living here to be able to finish." He said. I smiled.
"Let's go bug Lenka, shall we?" He said, putting out his hand. I looked at him then back at the hand. Clearly he seemed to have a thing for me. "Sorry, I hope this isn't abnormal in the place where you are from." He said smiling, then walking toward the bike. "No, it's fine." I said.
"Len? Shouldn't you be at work today?" A girl with Green hair said to him as we stopped at a school. "No, I took a vacation this week, remember? What about you? Shouldn't you be helping Meiko at the bakery?" He said. "Meiko closed up for some repairing. I'm helping Luka out with grading papers here. But she insisted I take a break from grading and help her and lenka with the gardening here." She said.

Len looked at her in a serious way, then smiled. "Oh, I almost forgot! Gumi, This is Rin by the way. Rin, this is Gumi, my girlfriend."
A/N: I will let your little brains process this chapter. What will happen? Dun dun dun... Please review and tell me what you think.
