Chapter Six – Cooling Off
Keith waited silently and continued to hold his mobile phone to his ear. Reese climbed up onto the messy blue bed with moderate difficulty and watched Keith's phone conversation. Keith took another leaflet in his free hand and examined it; it was an itinerary list for several cruise liners that had Almia as a destination point. He examined the list for the destinations, but quickly set it back down on the desk.
"Let's see, it's Tuesday now, so I'll be in Unova on Saturday," Keith said as he carefully transferred his mobile from one hand to the other. He then waited silently for a few seconds. "A single room with a double bed if that's possible, please," Keith said nicely. "With an en suite if possible as well." He studied the itinerary until he finally found one that had Castelia City as one of its destinations; coincidentally, it was the next scheduled stop after Almia. He quickly picked up the leaflet for the hotel he was contacting and examined it a little more. "No breakfast, thanks." Keith closed the leaflet and was about to stand up and search for something when he suddenly stopped. "Oh, I pay when I check in? That sounds convenient. Thank you. I'll see you when I check in. Bye."
Keith hung up and placed his mobile on the desk. He took a closer look at the itinerary that caught his attention; it seemed to him that the cruise liner in question served as more of a 'public transportation' between regions as opposed to an actual holiday cruise liner, which, in fact, was more ideal for Keith's needs. He suddenly heard knocking on the door; it made him jump very slightly, but he wasn't too startled.
"Come on," he said loudly. Rhythmi carefully entered the room and closed the door behind her. She instantly noticed the many leaflets scattered across the desk.
"What're you doing?" she asked. "Planning a vacation?"
"The first three days might as well be," Keith sighed. "I just booked a room at this hotel, since I'll need a place to stay," he added as he handed the hotel leaflet to Rhythmi. Rhythmi took the leaflet and read the hotel's name.
"Driftveil Star... Sounds pretty cool," she said as she began to read the leaflet itself. "But, if I'm blunt, I would guess you're only going to Unova because that's where Alexa is right now."
"How else am I going to talk to her if I'm not there?" Keith asked rhetorically as he began to tidy up his many leaflets.
"Why not phone her or send her an email?" Rhythmi asked.
"I would if I could; I don't know Alexa's email address and I can't get through to her cell," Keith replied. "So I thought it'd be better if I went to Unova myself."
"When did you get these leaflets anyway?" Rhythmi asked as she took a closer look at the leaflets Keith was yet to tidy up; she even picked up one that had information about the Nacrene City Museum.
"Before I left Unova, I stopped at a Tourist Information Centre in Castelia City," Keith replied. "Dropped them off here really quick before seeing the professor."
"But are you sure going to Unova now is a good idea?" Rhythmi asked. "I know the professor wants you and Alexa to sort your problems out, but can't you wait until she recovers? I mean, you landed her in hospital for crying out loud!"
"Thanks for the reminder, Rhythmi," Keith said sarcastically. "But when I'm on that ship headed for Unova, it'll take me three days to get there; Alexa will have that time to recover!"
"I guess that's true enough. But, even then, are you sure she'll want to see you after you guys bumped into one another?"
"Again, thanks for the reminder," Keith sighed. "Rhythmi, I can't contact her any other way, so what choice do I have?"
"Wait until she gets back..?" Rhythmi asked rhetorically.
"I don't know how long that'll be," Keith sighed. "I don't even know how long she's been in Unova, so she could be gone by the time I get there."
"If that happens, I'll ask her to meet you in Unova," Rhythmi said kindly. "I want you to stop fighting as much as the professor does..."
"I'd appreciate that. Thanks, Rhythmi."
"I just hope you know what you're doing with all this..."
Alexa lay on her bed, staring blankly at the Nidoqueen plush doll next to her pillow. She tried closing her eyes and going to sleep, but, in the end, she couldn't; she constantly held a hand to her head, moaning silently in pain. Eventually, she groaned as she sat up, walked away from the bed and left the room, leaving the door slightly open as she left.
She looked around the main room and only found Hayden on the sofa, reading the TV guide he picked up from the coffee table.
"Dad..?"
"Hm?" Hayden looked up and quickly discarded the magazine. "Alexa! Feeling any better, sweetie?"
"N-no, I couldn't sleep," Alexa sighed. "My headache's bugging me. Where're Mum and Keenan?"
"Ah." Hayden smiled sheepishly. "They went to find some painkillers; turns out we didn't have any around here." Alexa chuckled slightly. "Is there something you need? I can get a hold of-"
"It's...nothing like that," Alexa replied. Hayden nodded and lightly patted the seat next to him, signalling Alexa to sit next to him. Alexa walked over to the sofa and sat next to her father as he wrapped an arm around her. "I-I just can't stop thinking about Keith."
"I know. But you're in no fit state to talk to him about that now," Hayden said. "Give yourself a few days to recover and talk to him about it when you're back in Almia."
"I'm on leave of absence, Dad; is there any point in me staying at the Ranger Union during that time?" Alexa asked. "And if you're going to sell that house..."
"It's not on the market yet," Hayden laughed. "If you don't think staying at the Ranger Union is a good idea, you could always stay at that house or come home with us. Entirely up to you."
"I'd be better off at home with you; no sense in me living in Almia if I'm not on duty," Alexa said sadly.
"I understand." Hayden's smile faded. "So...are you going to tell me why you had Halo with you today?"
"Why do you think I had a reason?" Alexa asked curiously.
"Call it intuition, I suppose," Hayden replied. "I know Halo can make anybody happy, so I guess I assumed you needed to be happy."
"I-I did... Last night, I...I had a dream about the times Keith and I fought while we were in Johto," Alexa said sadly. "I remembered almost every mean thing he said to me since the Union Cave incident. It feels like my conscience is telling me to talk to him."
"I'd think that as well," Hayden nodded. "But not right now; like I said, give yourself a few days to recover first." Hayden sighed. "Alexa, I want to like Keith – he seemed like a nice boy – but after this...and what he said to you last week...I'm finding it hard to like him. I'm sorry if that's hard to hear, but it's how I feel."
"I know. Dad? Did you and Mum ever...did you and Mum ever fight like Keith and I have?" Alexa asked reluctantly. Hayden laughed.
"Yes." Alexa's eyes widened in shock and looked up at him.
"Honestly?!"
"Honestly," Hayden replied, still smiling. "We've argued about quite a few things; the quickest route through Ilex Forest, letting a Heracross we saw get away and, possibly one of the worst fights we've had, me accidentally leaving a gift from your mother in the sports hall at our old High School."
"Really?"
"Yeah; she made me a Skitty doll from her Textiles class and I accidentally left it at the sports hall after soccer practise one afternoon," Hayden explained. "She genuinely thought I'd abandoned it and she was upset; it was the first Pokémon doll she'd ever made, and was really proud of it."
"Did you find it?" Alexa asked.
"Oh, yeah, I found it. Or, rather, a friend of mine found it for me and gave it back," Hayden smiled. "I still have it to this day, in fact. But losing that doll almost made me lose your mother. But, in my opinion, the biggest fight came from Theo's training."
"How come?"
"Being the rebellious Houndour he was, I thought he needed to know who's boss," Hayden continued. "Because I figured you'd need to assert your authority onto a Pokémon that rebels against you. But your mother wanted to try a more gentle approach, which was how she was trying to train him at the time."
"What happened?" Alexa asked curiously.
"Considering the first time she tried the gentle approach ended in Theo almost drowning in Lake of Rage – where your mother and I first met – I argued my case and she wasn't having any of it, so she stormed off somewhere and tried to train Theo on her own," Hayden carried on. "But, as I thought, Theo wouldn't listen to her, so after Tidus and I found them – and stopped Theo from attacking Cheryl – I persuaded your mother to assert her authority onto Theo. Being his Trainer, she was the only one who could."
"And did she?"
"She did, yes," Hayden smiled. "And it worked; Theo stopped attacking and was willing to listen to her, which later on allowed him to build the bridge of trust between him and your mother. Afterwards, she apologised for not listening to me and I apologised for being forceful with my suggestion. And the rest, as they say, is history."
"Is that right?"
"Yep. Over time, we've learned to handle disagreements in a more civilised manner. Eventually, our fights just...stopped."
"Really?"
"I think so. I do remember the odd playful fight here and there." Alexa looked down rather sadly.
"I wonder if Keith and I will get along like that again..." Hayden pulled Alexa slightly closer to him.
"Apologies can go a long way, Alexa; if you have something you think you need to apologise to him for, apologise. I'm sure he'll do the same thing."
"Maybe... But I'm scared that I might make things worse," Alexa sighed. "And ruin our chances of ever getting along again."
"If you want my advice, try to stay calm the entire time you're talking with him," Hayden said kindly. "If you lose your temper, it'll cloud your thinking, and you may even say something you'll regret." Alexa felt even sadder than she was before. "I know it sounds ironic coming from me, but calmness is the key. Try not to forget that, okay?"
"Y-yeah..." Hayden planted a gentle kiss on Alexa's head.
"Cross that bridge when you get to it, Lexie; you still have a concussion to recover from," he smiled. Alexa smiled as she looked up at her father.
"Thanks, Dad."
"Once you've started talking to him, your mother and I will be there for you if you need it. You know you can tell us anything, right?" Alexa's smile very slightly faded.
"Of course..." Noticing her uneasiness, Hayden laughed.
"Provided you want to, that is; we're not going to force you to tell us every little thing that's going on with you, we aren't going to pry. But if you do need to talk, you can tell us anything. Okay?" Alexa's smile grew kinder.
"Okay. Thanks, Dad."
"Of course."
The hotel room door opened carefully as Keenan, Iara and Lily entered the room. Lily closed the door with her free hand, as she carried a white plastic bag in her other hand. Keenan smiled when he saw Alexa sitting with Hayden.
"Hi, Alex! You feeling okay?"
"All headaches aside, yeah, for now," Alexa replied. Lily placed the plastic bag on the coffee table and pulled out a bottle of water and a little white bottle, which she began to open.
"Did you rest well?" Lily asked as she poured two round tablets onto the bottle's lid and began to break them in half. Alexa sighed as Lily then opened the water bottle and handed both items to her.
"No," Alexa replied as she ingested all four halves of the tablets and washed them down with the bottled water. "I couldn't sleep after all..."
"Oh, dear. Well, with any luck, you should start feeling better soon," Lily smiled sweetly. She looked at the round analogue clock above Hayden and Alexa's heads. "The afternoon's still fairly young. What are we doing for dinner again, Hayden?"
"Assuming everyone's up for it, we could go out for dinner. Or we can have it at the hotel again. Though it depends on what Hailey and Harvey are up to," Hayden replied. "I'll call them in-" Hayden looked up at the clock above his head. "About two hours." Lily smiled at Alexa.
"Is there anything you'd like to do in the meantime, sweetie?" she asked.
"I don't know," Alexa shrugged. "Not sure what I can do with concussion."
"Hang on, I'll be back in a sec!" Keenan suddenly said as he hurried off into his bedroom, Iara happily following behind him. It wasn't long before Keenan returned with a black squared bag in one hand.
"Is that your PlayBox?" Alexa asked. Keenan nodded.
"I was thinking we could play with it for a bit," he explained.
"The TV Guide doesn't have anything worth a watch; come on, buddy, let's get it set up," Hayden smiled as he stood up from the sofa.
"Do you still care about her?" Rhythmi asked. She and Keith sat on his messy bed, with Keith sitting silently as he contemplated an answer. His silence worried Rhytmi until he finally sighed.
"Yeah, I do," he replied truthfully. "I-I just...I really want to make things right with her, you know? Even if she doesn't want to even be friends with me any more, just making peace with her would be enough for me."
"I really hope it doesn't come to that," Rhythmi said with concern. "I still remember how happy we all were in Ranger School...I really want all of us to stay friends."
"That reminds me...did you and Alexa ever sort your problems out?" Keith asked with intrigue.
"Yeah; the day after you guys came back after that avalanche ordeal, she asked to see me privately and apologised for everything that happened," Rhythmi replied. "And I apologised for screwing her around and jumping to conclusions about her amulet." She sighed. "But...hearing about her Butterfree... I never would have imagined something like that actually happened to her."
"Yeah. It did. I really hope she'll be willing to hear me out, though," Keith said. "Professor Hastings is right, this can't carry on."
"Keith...some of us were wondering if it was too soon for you and Alexa to come back," Rhythmi said hesitantly. "I mean...neither of you have been the same since you came back from Johto...you seemed more distant than usual. Not just between each other, but with all of us."
"If I can talk to her, that's what I want to resolve with Alexa," Keith stated. He glanced over at the yellow and black egg in the glass case on the desk nearby. "I just hope three days will be enough for her to recover from the concussion I caused..."
"I would hope so."
"Me too." Keith sighed. "Me too."
"Do you have an idea of what to say to her?" Rhythmi asked.
"Just an idea, yeah," Keith replied. Reese walked over to Keith and sat on his lap, looking up at the glum Ranger with worry. "I know what I need to apologise for at least."
"It'll take three days for you to get there anyway; you have plenty of time to think it through," Rhythmi smiled. "And if an apology can sort things out between me and Alexa, I think it can work wonders for you and her."
"I hope so. Thanks, Rhythmi," Keith smiled. He picked Reese up and held him in one arm as he stood up. "Anyway, I should get packing; according to the itinerary, the ferry leaves in two hours."
"Two hours?! Geez, Keith, you could have said something sooner!" Rhythmi exclaimed as she shot up. Keith laughed nervously.
"Sorry."
"Do you even know what to pack?!"
"Y-yeah, of course I do," Keith replied as he approached his wardrobe and took out a black wheeled suitcase with a print of a Tyranitar on the front and a red and black rucksack.
"Let me help you; you'll get it done faster," Rhythmi smiled.
"Thanks, I'd appreciate it," Keith said gratefully.
The television at the hotel room displayed a battle between a large Steelix, a Bagon with a blue "P1" over its head and a Deino with a red "P2" over its head on a large barren wasteland. The Steelix occasionally slammed its tail onto the ground, generating shock waves the Bagon and Deino easily jumped over. Underneath the television was a black gaming console with two controllers plugged in and a red plastic memory card plugged over the player one controller slot. Lily and Alexa seemed to be enjoying watching Keenan and Hayden as they controlled the Bagon and Deino to battle the enemy Steelix. Iara lay comfortably around Alexa's shoulders.
"So what's the story of the game then?" Hayden asked as he constantly pressed the buttons on the controller in his hands.
"Bagon and Deino have to fight their way through the world they're in to find and defeat the main villain from reshaping the world in his image," Keenan explained happily. Alexa's smile died as her heart began to race; the premise sounded awfully familiar to her, and she didn't like it.
"But Bagon and Deino need to find the pieces of the broken Azure Flute in order to get to Arceus, as he's the only one who can take them to the villain's hiding place," Keenan continued.
"Who's the villain?" Hayden asked as he commanded Deino to slam its head on top of Steelix's head.
"Giratina," Keenan answered. Alexa felt anxious; her heart raced even faster and adrenaline rushed through her body like rapids. She quickly snapped herself out of her state of anxiety and took deep and silent breaths to calm herself down. Keenan lost his smile and looked back at his sister through the corner of his eye.
"Do you evolve your characters?" Lily asked curiously.
"I don't think so," Keenan replied rather nervously as his focus returned to the game. "If you can, I haven't found out how to."
"I wouldn't think you could evolve your characters in this game," Alexa said. "I think the game would end after Giratina," she added, sounding very slightly shaky. Lily looked at her worriedly.
"Are you feeling all right, Alexa?" she asked. "Is it another headache?"
"I-It's fine, don't worry about it," Alexa smiled nervously. "It's just...the game's premise sounds kind of scary."
"It's just a game, Alexa," Hayden chuckled; he seemed to be enjoying himself. "Nothing like that can actually happen in real life." Keenan's concern grew as he heard Alexa's nervous laughter, but he tried his best to hide it from his parents.
Alexa's Xtransceiver suddenly rang with a bland chorus of beeps. Alexa looked at her Xtransceiver and noticed Daphne was contacting her. She pressed the green "accept" button on the screen and, soon enough, Daphne's face appeared on the screen.
"Hi, Alexa! Feeling any better?"
"Hi, Daphne!" Alexa greeted. "Yeah, I feel a bit better; took some painkillers not too long ago." Alexa's smile died. "I hope I didn't inconvenience everyone with my concussion..."
"It's not your fault; it's Keith's! He bumped into you, remember?"
"Not really..."
"Oh. Sorry!" Daphne laughed nervously.
"No harm done. Anyway, what's going on now? What's everyone up to?" Alexa asked curiously.
"Uncle Harvey and Troy are over, talking with Mum and Dad," Daphne replied.
"How's Daniel taking it?" Alexa asked teasingly. Daphne giggled.
"He, uh...isn't," she replied quietly.
"I heard that." Daniel's voice was heard rather faintly over the Xtransceiver. Alexa and Daphne laughed.
"So, did you call to check up on me or was there something else?" Alexa asked curiously.
"Well, actually, I was kinda wondering if you and Keenan would like to hang out with us tomorrow or something," Daphne said. "And perhaps even battle sometime!"
"Us hang out with Daniel? I don't think he likes us very much," Alexa said quietly.
"I know, but it'll do him good to spend time with the cousins he doesn't totally despise," Daphne grinned. Daniel huffed faintly over the Xtransceiver. "So, what do you think? Up for it?"
"I dunno...Jollie does want to evolve someday, and perhaps getting her involved in a battle or two might help her out," Alexa mused. "What do you think, Keenan? Up for hanging out with the twins?"
"If you're up for it, I am," Keenan smiled. The video game Steelix roared in agony as it sank into the now exposed lava surrounding the battlefield; the Bagon and Deino characters automatically walked over to the discarded purple ceramic shard and claimed it for themselves.
"Sounds good to me, Keenan!" Daphne smiled. "When should we hang out then?"
"I don't know what we'll be doing over the next few days," Alexa said quietly.
"Whatever it is, we'll be meeting with Hailey at the very least," Hayden said quickly. "As for when and where...that's yet to be decided."
"Okay, Uncle Hayden. We'll think of a plan when we know more about what's going on tomorrow," Daphne smiled. "Sound good?"
"Sounds good to me, Daph," Alexa agreed.
"Oh, I almost forgot! Mum wants to know what you guys are up to for dinner tonight!" Daphne suddenly said.
"That depends on what she and Harvey are up to," Hayden replied. "I'll phone her in about two minutes or so."
"Got it, I'll let her know," Daphne stated. "But you just take it easy, okay, Alexa?"
"Okay," Alexa laughed. "Give everyone our love, okay?"
"Will do! I'll see you later, Alexa. Bye!" Daphne cut off her communication. Alexa lowered her arm as the video game Bagon and Deino entered a volcanic area.
"So, you and Keenan against Daphne and Daniel, huh?" Hayden asked with intrigue. "That'll be interesting to see, that's for sure."
"It'll be your first proper battle in three years, won't it, Alexa?" Lily asked curiously.
"Yeah," Alexa nodded. "I really hope I don't...screw it up..."
"You won't know until you try," Lily smiled. "Whatever Keith said to you, don't let it get you down, sweetheart; you can only do your best." Alexa sighed; what if she hadn't tried her best? Or, maybe, was her best not good enough? She shook the negative thoughts out of her mind and smiled at her mother.
"Thanks." She looked towards Keenan. "Hey, Keenan, since I'm thinking of getting Jollie another battle or two under her belt, maybe Kyle might like one under his!"
"Sounds interesting!" Keenan grinned. Hayden stood up, keeping the controller in one hand. He looked towards Lily as he held the controller out to her.
"Here, take the helm for a few minutes," he smirked. Lily looked rather flabbergasted.
"What..? Hayden, I don't know anything about video games!" she exclaimed. Keenan laughed as Hayden placed the controller in his wife's hand.
"About time you learned then," he said playfully before sneakily kissing her on the cheek. Lily nervously sat down and stared at the television screen.
"Y-you'll have to talk me through this thing, Keenan..."
"Are you sure you have everything?" Rhythmi asked as she watched Keith climbing onto Robbie's back. Rhythmi and Robbie stood outside the Ranger Union, with Robbie looking down at the Union Road. Rhythmi retained her teal Operator's uniform, but Keith had changed into a white shirt and dark grey jeans. The red and black rucksack was securely worn on his back, with the egg case faintly poking out of the main compartment, which was fastened tightly. Reese sat on top of the Spring Form Sawsbuck's head, holding onto one of Robbie's antlers. Rhythmi held the wheeled suitcase up towards Keith, who took it and placed it in front of him.
"You'll hear from me if I haven't," Keith smirked. Rhythmi sighed.
"Be careful, Keith. And, for the love of Arceus, don't screw it up with Alexa."
"You don't need to tell me twice," Keith sighed.
"But did you have to book a room at the hotel Alexa's staying at?"
"I didn't; she's at a hotel in Castelia City," Keith replied.
"Oh."
"Anyway, I need to go now; I'll talk to you later, Rhythmi! Let's go, Robbie!"
"SAWS!" Robbie sprinted off down the Union Road. Rhythmi waved at him until Robbie and Keith disappeared from sight. Rhythmi walked back inside the Ranger Union, smiling a little. As she entered the main reception of the Union, Linda approached her.
"Rhythmi! There you are! Professor Hastings was looking for you! Where have you been?" she asked quickly.
"Helping Keith pack," she replied.
"What for?" Linda asked in confusion.
"With any luck, fixing the rift between him and Alexa," Rhythmi said quietly.
"Oh..."
Hayden walked into the second bedroom of the hotel room. The room shared the same cream coloured walls and dark brown carpeting as the other bedroom, but there was a solitary double bed in the room, with the wardrobe on the right side of the bed and a desk almost opposite the bed. Hayden dialled a number on his mobile phone as he began to lie on the left hand side of the bed. He rested his head on the pillows behind him and waited, holding the mobile to his ear.
"Hello?"
"Hailey, it's me."
"Hi, Hayden! How are you doing? Is Alexa doing okay?" Hailey asked over the phone.
"She seems to be okay so far, thanks for asking," Hayden smiled.
"A little birdie told me you'd be ringing me," Hailey said teasingly.
"Don't blame me, she said she was going to let you know," Hayden chuckled. "Is Harvey still over there?"
"Yeah, he is," Hailey replied.
"Hi, Hayden!" Harvey's playful voice sounded rather faint, but not inaudible, over the phone. Hayden laughed.
"What can we do for you, brother dearest?" Hailey asked.
"Dinner plans; what are yours?" Hayden asked bluntly.
"I have no idea... Colin, do we have any dinner plans?" Hailey asked, sounding somewhat faint.
"Not that I know of," Colin replied faintly. "What about you, Harv?"
"I'm flexible," Harvey answered faintly.
"Same," Troy added faintly.
"Do you think Alexa's up for going out tonight?" Hailey asked.
"Provided we don't go too far on foot, I think she might be, but, honestly, I'm not entirely sure," Hayden replied. "Why, where do you think we should meet for dinner?" he asked curiously.
"I dunno..." Hailey sighed. "Sorry, Hayden, today's been a bit much, you know?"
"You're not wrong there."
"If it's all right with you, I think we're just gonna get some take-out tonight," Hailey said regretfully.
"No, it's perfectly fine! I know today was pretty bad, but maybe tomorrow will be better," Hayden said reassuringly. "Unless you don't want to come out and play, that is," he added teasingly.
"And miss my twins battling against your dynamic duo?! As if I would miss that!" Hailey laughed. "How about we meet at...White Forest?"
"Isn't that a bit ironic if the kids are going to battle tomorrow?" Hayden asked. "I mean, White Forest is arguably the most peaceful place in all of Unova..."
"I know, but there's a lot of space for them to battle in as well," Hailey remarked.
"Okay, yeah, sounds good. I'll let Lily and the kids know; make sure you and everyone else have a nice evening, okay?"
"Will do, Hayden. See you tomorrow!" Hailey said merrily.
"Bye," Hayden said as he ceased his line of communication. He sat up and stood up off of the bed as he made his way out of the room.
"No...!" Lily complained as the video game Deino dizzily fell to the ground. Alexa and Keenan tried not to laugh as the Deino's life count fell from five to four while it stood back up again. "How do I attack that thing?"
"You press the Diamond button," Keenan laughed.
"Having fun, Lily?" Hayden asked playfully.
"I can't get my head around this game," Lily sighed. "Did you find out anything from Hailey?"
"Well, Harvey's still at her house, and they're going to get some take-out," Hayden replied. "Today felt a bit much for her. But we'll be meeting them tomorrow at White Forest; plenty of room for you kids to battle Daphne and Daniel."
"That's a good idea, Dad!" Keenan smiled.
"I agree," Alexa nodded.
"Por!" Iara agreed. Hayden looked at clock above Alexa's head.
"The hotel restaurant's not open yet...looks like there's still time for me to watch you fumble around the video game, Lily," he said teasingly as he walked over to the sofa. Alexa shuffled away from Lily a little, allowing her father to sit between her and Lily.
"Oh, Hayden..!" Lily groaned.
To be continued...
