I'm going to be alone… and I'm scared… I'm scared because I know I'll lose you guys too. In August 2017, I'm going on a mission for my religion. No FanFiction for two years… I'm just scared… you guys will forget me… I'm over emotional and sick and tired. I'm over thinking this and my life is so confusing…

Prompt 88: Bench

Kitty always had fond memories of one place: the bench. It was always the one place Kitty and Alistair could go to talk. Most of their relationship was made on that bench of their's. It was their place of love.

The bench was the last place on her mind as she made her way to the shoe store. Kitty was pretty much done with the day as she slowly made her way forward. She saw the shoe store ahead of her and sighed.

"He better be here this time," Kitty grumbled as she approached the story.

As she got closer, Hunter and Lizzie came into her view. Hunter hid a smirk while Lizzie giggled silently. When she got up to them, Hunter smiled. "Let me guess. A certain birthday girl wants a certain boy," Hunter guessed.

"And no where you look he's there, right?" Lizzie guessed.

Kitty sighed in relief. "Yes, that's exactly right! Does that mean he's here?" Kitty asked desperately.

Hunter and Lizzie looked at each other, then at Kitty. "No," they said in unison.

"UGH! This is one of the worst birthdays ever…" Kitty sighed, dropping to the ground. A few tears exited her eyes. "I just wanted Alistair for myself one day…"

Hunter glanced at Lizzie knowingly. "Kitty… we all have those days where we want our significant others to ourselves," Hunter said to her. "I want Ashlynn all the time, but with her job and other responsibilities, I can't always be with her."

"And Neb's… Neb," Lizzie said, scrambling for words. "Whenever I need him… he pretty much ignores me until I give up. Then he turns up and I smack him across the face."

Hunter looked over at Lizzie. "You and Neb… love weird," Hunter said simply.

"It's a special relationship," Lizzie said awkwardly and then looked over at Kitty. "Look… Kitty, I know that we might have a rough friendship since you killed him… but Neb's always there, even in death. Alistair's always there for you too."

"Not today he's not," Kitty grumbled.

"Look Kitty… I'm your best friend. Your brother, in a sense," Hunter said. "I know you might think Alistair is abandoning you when it matters most. I've been there. I know how it feels. But I know that he still loves you very much."

"That and he's not Neb," Lizzie said simply.

Kitty sighed, but managed a small smile. "Ok. Thanks guys," Kitty said weakly.

"We… have two more things for you," Hunter said. "Consider it our birthday presents from us to you."

"As you may know, by some random miracle… Neb and I are getting married," Lizzie said, blushing hard. "I… I want you to be there… but I also want you to speak. I know that it's untraditional… but Neb suggested we each find a person to speak on our behalf. So… I'm giving you the choice to speak for me."

Kitty beamed and gave Lizzie a hug. "I'd be honored. Thanks Lizzie," Kitty said.

"Now my gift," Hunter said. "We all have those special moments with those we care about. Ashlynn and I have them all the time. Thing is Kitty… you and Alistair seem to have this connection with one spot. One spot that's only special to the two of you. The one spot… Alistair will always be."

Kitty blinked. "No… no… how did I not think of that first!" Kitty said, shaking her head. "Thanks Hunter! You have no idea how happy you just made me!" Kitty gave him a quick peck on the cheek and dashed off.

Lizzie giggled. "I won't tell Ashlynn," Lizzie promised.

"Kitty and I are best friends. Ashlynn would understand anyway," Hunter shrugged. "Besides… I'm not the one getting married."

Lizzie blushed. "What does that have to do with anything?" Lizzie asked.

Hunter chuckled. "Neb paid me to tease you about it a little bit," Hunter said. "To be honest, teasing you about it is absolutely hilarious."

Lizzie's blush grew a deeper shade of red. "Shut up!" she said.

Meanwhile, Kitty made her way as fast as she could to the bench. As she did so, Kitty was thinking to herself. Why didn't I think of the bench first? Kitty thought furiously to herself. Neb… he threw me off! But… why would he do that? Sure, it was nice getting my presents from everyone… but why distract me from seeing who I wanted to see.

Kitty finally made her way to the bench. And, like Hunter and Lizzie said, Alistair was sitting there, with a smile on his face. "Took you long enough," Alistair chuckled.

Kitty pouted. "Why did you made me look for you?" she asked. "I thought we were going to spend all day together."

Alistair merely smiled as Kitty sat down next to him. "You'll see why," he said. After a moment after saying this, he took a mental breath. This is it. No turning back now, he thought to himself.

BN: Lizzie, I know everything. Thus, I get to tease you about the things I know. Hehehehe… this chapter was mostly to wrap up all of Kitty's friends plots. I wanted to show everyone who influenced Kitty at some point and give them a sort of farewell. You'll see them again, yeah, but consider it a wrap up of all the plots thus far. Also… what's Alistair have planned? Hmmm… eh, beats me. Probably nothing.

Like? Hate? Meh? Let me know via review!
