Chapter 23: Until They Meet Again
After Yamabuki, Alex and Ciel left the crossroads, we all went straight to Arle's base so that we could immediately get Arle's sleeping bag and get a move on. I'm starting to feel a little sleepy during our walk, but I'm starting to shake it off and get it over with.
I'm just glad everything has been put into silence and I can finally spend the last of my hours going to my house and sleeping. I went through so much today and now I can get this chance to take a break from everything that I went through the whole day.
I should've been in bed a long time ago, but I guess Satan and Ecolo got me way too distracted. Not that I wanted them to make me do one more thing.
"Are you sure that you need your sleeping bag, Arle? Because I can grab a blanket at my house for you to sleep in." I asked Arle.
"No, it's fine. The sleeping bag feels comfortable when I'm going to sleep so I'll be fine." Arle said.
"Why do you guys sleep with sleeping bags outside anyway?" Raffina asked her.
"Because we don't have anything to get comfortable with and using blankets may be a poor decision because what will happen if we used a campfire and we used a big blanket in order for us to get comfortable until all of the sudden the fire gets on the blanket?"
…
…
…
"Y-You do have a point there." Raffina said with a sweatdrop.
"I don't think a lot of people die doing that." Ringo said.
"I wasn't going to be superficial, but I was just wanting to wonder why you guys get sleeping bags. I was hoping that you guys bought them or a friend gave them to you."
"We bought it for all of us." Chico said. "I don't feel comfortable sleeping with sleeping bags but I always suck it up. Serilly and the others are fine with their sleeping bags. I can tell."
"It's summer so there's nothing to be worried about when you are in the dark." Arle said.
"I'm surprised there are no bears in this forest. It'd be so scary to watch." I said with a worried look.
"Well you're in luck. Because they aren't any. And if there WAS one, I bet Schezo and Ragnus could finish it off." Amitie said with a giggle.
"And why would we do that?" Schezo asked with an annoyed look along with a sweatdrop.
"I would rather defeat the foe all by myself for that matter. I would be in the right time to show the hero's toughness." Ragnus said.
"Well… Ragnus could be one tough guy… but not Schezo." Witch said with a sweatdrop.
"Hey! I am tough. Just only when I need to be when I'm traveling. You can't try to judge my level of performance just because of me not doing something." Schezo said.
"Right…" Witch was unsure about it.
"I'm a dark mage so I should achieve my goals that are given to me. If a person is in trouble, yes I could help, but I can't go help lots of people and not get a break. I would be too fatigued afterwards."
"Well you were a big help protecting the red stone for me so that's that." I said.
"You said it would create chaos, right? I don't need anyone starting an apocalypse early for no reason. It would make them look stupid."
"Well… I second that a little."
"Imagine you and Schezo doing it together! How would it feel if both of you could stop an apocalypse?" Draco asked.
"Uh…" I didn't know what to say about that.
"Why would I do it with this girl? Of course she is strong, but she is not like me. In terms of our powers and our character." Schezo said with a sweatdrop. For the third time.
"Well that's not it, Schezo. I think… yes our personalities differ, but I think I could rely on you mostly when I need it."
"Huh?"
"You say that you are mostly into helping others in need AND stop other people from creating an apocalypse. So I think in my personal opinion, you may be a pervert of course, but you are still reliable out of several people I needed to rely on the most in this world."
"I guess I could let that slide for now." Schezo said with an annoyed look. Again.
"You don't need to feel agitated. You are much more adventurous like us. We could definitely use you on our adventures much more. Although you are likely going to say more perverted stuff." Arle said.
"Would you cut it out with the pervert theory already?! You are saying this way too much now."
"I can't help it. Your speech is a total dump. Maybe I can improve your vocabulary. I'll think about it soon."
"I wish I could capture your power already." Schezo whispered.
We all arrived at Arle's base, where we could just grab Arle's sleeping bag and head straight to my house. I was hoping to get more people, but I want to have Arle, Ringo, Amitie and Raffina all by my side for this one. I believe they all had my back throughout the entire time I was in Primp Town.
"Finally! We're here. Now I can rest my eyes!" Draco whined, wanting to go to bed.
"Well you're in luck now. We could all use a nap anyway since we had to go through a lot today." Witch said.
"Yes. I can finally go back to sleep after such a weird experience." Schezo said, trying to get his sleeping bag.
I don't doubt him. I'm sure he went through a lot today. Maybe I'll keep in touch with him somehow.
"It was odd that I was being controlled here at a time like this but thankfully I can have a goodnight sleep for once." Chico said.
"Wait. Where's Suketoudara and Nasu Grave?" Arle asked, a little concerned about the other two.
"*sigh* Don't mind them. We might just wait for them to come back because I'm getting really tired from all of this." Rulue said with an exasperated look.
"Rulue does have a point there. I'm tired of walking and I need to relax my whole body." Ragnus said.
"Well… I guess we'll leave at that. Anyway I'll be back in the morning." Arle said.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to Kaze's house along with my sleeping bag. She needed only four people to sleepover at her house and keep her company because she is leaving Primp Town tomorrow afternoon."
"Right…" Ragnus said with a sweatdrop.
"Wait… leave here? This world?" Rulue asked.
"Oh yeah… I forgot to tell you guys that I live in a different world. It's called the United Kingdom. I'll tell you more about it next time."
"You didn't even tell me, Arle?!" Rulue asked with a mean look.
"I'm sorry! It's just I didn't want to go even further with the information about her." Arle said while looking at me with a worried look.
"It's fine, Arle… I'm fine with you telling me where I'm from since we both travel in dimensions." I said.
Wait. I haven't brought this up to them now that I'm starting to think about it.
"Speaking of dimensions, do you guys live here in Primp Town?" I asked.
"Well… for us, we live in a different kind of world. It's hard to tell what our place was named though. And I was also born there." Arle said.
"And that was before I met Arle who was the only person that I knew ended up here before most of her friends joined in. Even Ringo ended up being here too. I was kinda shocked to see both of them here since these two are my best friends." Amitie said.
"But our current friendship did not start until after I met BOTH at Suzaran. I didn't know a lot about Puyo Puyo until Arle started to get me into the groove. Just like how my mathematics skills are top-tiered in miscellaneous amounts of ways." Ringo said.
"Top-tiered? So you are like, Arle?!" I asked her.
"Arle? Wait, do you excel in math, Arle?!" Ringo asked in a surprised look.
"I do. I'm just not an expert in the types of math stuff that you do. If I was an expert at math then I would definitely be more like you, but someday It's going to take a lot of practice."
"I see. Maybe I might applaud you for trying to go on top of my level. Although the requirements for it can get a little tricky if you ask me."
"It may be tricky, but I'll try to get the hang of it. Only I start school someday." Arle whispered that last part.
I should try to get her to my school someday. But I wonder how I should work it out.
"But then we have you, Kaze. Well… Raffina was the first to get your attention." Amitie said.
"That's right. I know you are a really quiet person, but I assume you are really interactive towards other people. As well as me being a friendly human being to you." Raffina said.
"Thank you, Raffina. Although you were kind of a teaser to me mostly, you also kept me company. I hope we can get along more." I said with a smile.
"You betcha." Raffina said with a thumbs up.
"And I also can't forget about Ringo, Arle and Amitie. They were the ones to help me along the way. Protecting this red stone, having my back at all times. I just couldn't possibly forget about them."
"I can't forget about you either!" Amitie said.
"Well… that's what friends are for." Arle said.
"You can always rely on me at any time." Ringo said.
"Same here. Anyway, we should get going. I have to prepare for tomorrow and I don't want to waste anymore time."
"Ok. You're right. I could really use some sleep right now." Raffina said.
"Yeah. Let's get moving. It's dark outside and we can't stay outside forever." Arle said, trying to get her sleeping bag.
"You're right. See you guys later." I said as I waved to everyone.
"Bye, Kaze." Witch said.
"We will meet again, Kaze." Rulue said.
"I shall see you around, fellow warrior." Ragnus said.
Or hero. But I'll guess let that slide.
"Alright. Let's go." I said.
"YEAH!" Arle, Amitie, Ringo and Raffina screamed, almost giving me a heart attack in the process.
"Damn it! Already giving me a heart attack! Just cut it out already!" I shouted at these four.
"Sorry… it was just one last time." Amitie said.
"Well said." Ringo, Arle and Raffina said.
I just can't wait to kick them.
We all arrived at my house after a somewhat of a 7 minute walk. We took no hesitation at all to walk straight over there in order to get ourselves settled.
"I guess this may be the last time I'm going to be staying over here." I said.
"Are you sure your mother is getting your bus tickets? Because I don't think they'll arrive on time." Arle asked me.
"They will. I just gotta wait for somebody to drop them off at my door. It might take a while, but it should be here by the time I wake up in the morning." I said.
"It would be odd that it might come in the middle of the night." Raffina said.
"You're not wrong. I wouldn't want to get it in the middle of the night, but those are the keys to help me get back home, so I need to keep an eye on what I'm looking for."
"I see. I wish we could've found a new way to get you back home, but if bus tickets are your option, then I can 100 percent confirm that this could be your way out of here. I'm just hoping you're safe on the bus." Ringo said.
"Don't worry. No one's going to try and bother me along the way. It's just that people are getting on and off. For me, I'm going back to the United Kingdom so I have no problems with me feeling unsafe." I said as we all came inside the house.
"So what are you gonna do with all of your stuff?" Arle asked.
"I'm taking it with me. I can't leave all of my stuff here in my apartment, right?"
"Yes, that's true."
"Speaking of the apartment itself, did you rent it before you came to this world?" Raffina asked.
"Yes it was rented. It was only for one month so I'm only going to be staying here until my time's up. Although my time is up."
"Yup. Anyway, what are we supposed to do here? Take a nap?" Amitie asked.
"Well let's get everything settled. We could start off in my room with you guys unpacking your stuff and then we could even take a shower and wash up." I explained.
"I'm not gonna wash up. I just took a shower this afternoon." Ringo said, trying to take it seriously.
"I don't think I have a new set of clothes to wear, so I'm not gonna take a shower." Arle said.
"Of course…" I said with a facepalm.
"Geez, Arle. What happened to your other pair of clothes that I bought you?" Raffina asked, a little concerned about the outfit that Arle is wearing right now.
"I didn't want to wear them today so I thought it would be best to put on my old outfit."
"Right…"
"So it's only me, Amitie and Raffina?" I asked.
"Yup. So how about the three of us ladies wash up?" Raffina asked us.
"W-W-WHAT?! W-W-Why the three of us?!" I shouted while extremely blushing. "And all three of us can't fit in the shower. We need to have one girl hop in the shower first."
"I wouldn't want to get stuck with the both of you grabbing the soap anyway. I can't become clean at that rate." Amitie said.
"*sigh* You do have a point." Raffina said. "I was saying this because I was hoping we could all finally get some rest after a long day. But, I guess having one person in the shower shouldn't be a pain at all."
"Yeah, agreed." I said.
"Do you want to go first, Kaze?" Amitie asked me.
…
"Well… how about you go first, Amitie? I want to make sure you haven't used up the soap before I go inside."
"Oh, what a coincidence. I never expected that to happen either."
"I mean, I wanted to go in first, but at least I'll get to chat with you, Arle and Ringo. Which is nice to hear."
Raffina said.
"Yeah. It actually is."
"To actually think that this is our first time sleeping over with just the five of us is *cough* Amazing~! Amazing~! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Amazing at your home~!"
I didn't know Ringo could sing too.
"It totally is Amazing~!" Amitie said to Ringo.
"Well… you can pack your stuff in this room right here. That's where we all will be sleeping since it's bigger." I said.
"Alrighty!" Amitie said.
"And the shower is on your right after you pack."
"Got it." Raffina said.
"You sure you don't want to wash up, Arle? Ringo?" I asked the two.
"Nope I'm fine." Arle said.
"My body is fresh for now." Ringo said.
"Alright. If you say so."
*THREE SHOWER BATHS LATER*
Soon after we took turns using the shower, and us having conversations with each other while one person was in the shower, me, Amitie and Raffina were changing our clothes.
For me, I had on a normal black t-shirt and some black and white shorts with some black socks. Yup. Just wanted to wear socks for tonight.
Amitie had on pink fluffy pajamas with bunnies all over them and some white bunny socks. For me, This made me think about something.
She already graduated and she likes wearing this? Never mind. I'm not gonna say anything about it.
And Finally, Raffina also had on pink silk pajamas that looked really beautiful on her. I can't really explain why she looks very beautiful, I'm only gonna bear with it. But the only difference in her appearance is that her hair was tied up into a bun.
So this girl really wants to stay beautiful. Just like how Draco would be.
Then after our change of clothes, we all were on the floor with our sleeping bags and blankets.
"Finally I can relax my back." I said while I was stretching on the floor.
"You don't have problems when you are asleep, huh?" Raffina asked. She was lying down next to me and Ringo.
"Nope. My life is just plain normal when I'm asleep. I don't get a single injury at all."
"You know, I kinda like it better sleeping in your house than just sleeping outside. It's actually kinda warm in here." Arle said. She was laying down next to Amitie who was next to me.
"Same here. I wouldn't lose concentration on my sleep just because of how warm it is inside the house." Amitie said.
"That probably explains why you're wearing those pajamas." Raffina said with a sweatdrop.
"I like them! They were supposed to be my favorite when I was younger. And me growing up doesn't affect the likelihood of wearing these over and over again."
"Well, I haven't used to wear those in my sleep as I would wear just normal pajamas in my sleep back in my world. I don't wear them often but I just feel like it would help me feel more comfortable when I'm asleep. Even though it would be hot." Arle whispered with an annoyed look.
"I do the same thing here. But I would change clothes doing that as well." Ringo said.
"You do that in Suzaran too, Ringo?" Amitie asked.
"Yeah. I always wear a new, fresh set of clothes every night and I just sleep with them. It's just normal for me."
"I can see your point there."
"I'm just wondering if you both have an air conditioner? You know… for you guys to feel a little cool when you're hot." Raffina suggested.
"Well… I do. I'm just trying to figure out where mine is at home." Ringo said.
"I also have one. But I usually open my windows back in my world in order to feel a little cooler." Arle said.
"Oh. But you can also use an air conditioner. It's way cooler inside than to just open your windows." Raffina said.
"Well, if I find something that turns on the air conditioner, then I'll use it. But more importantly, I'm perfectly the way I am."
"Alright. I'm just suggesting." Raffina said, trying not to protest.
"What about you, Kaze? Do you get hot?" Amitie asked me.
"Sometimes, but not all the time. I found an air conditioner in this room that works. It might keep you guys a little cool." I said as I got up from my blanket and turned on the air conditioner.
"Wow… it kinda does feel cool." Arle said.
"You can't really tell how cool this place feels now!" Amitie said with an amazed look.
"Yup, I turn on the air conditioner when I'm hot back in my world." I said.
"It's as cool as my mansion. I'm satisfied with it, Kaze. Ohhohohohoho!" Raffina said with her queenly laugh.
"Yeah… anyway one more thing."
"What's up, Kaze?" Amitie asked.
"I haven't even got the chance to tell you this before, but do you girls want to see my mother?" I asked.
"R-Really?!" All four girls shouted.
"Well, I was wanting to introduce you guys to my mother since you haven't seen the identity of her. She might be asleep, but I might get the chance to wake her up."
"Well I never even expected to hear something so rare before, but sure. I'm open." Ringo said.
"I'll be glad to see your mother! Count me in!" Amitie said.
"I guess If Ringo and Amitie want to do it, then I'm in as well." Arle said.
"I guess it can't be helped. I guess I'll see her. She seems to be nice." Raffina said.
"She will be nice to you once you get to know her. I have a strong relationship with her anyway." I said while I was grabbing my phone to call my mother.
I would really hope that she would still be up. Although she may be asleep by now. However, it's odd that she never called me and told me how I'm feeling right now. I wonder why though. I guess we can call it at that for now. I have the red stone with me anyway, so I'm not gonna elucidate the details from what happened when the red stone was there until I get back.
And besides… My mother is who I care for the most, so I'm just gonna have to discard all the important stuff right now and get to where I must do right now.
"Hope she answers." I mumbled to myself as I was called to my mother.
"Hello?"
Right on cue!
"Hi, mom."
"Kaze, my pumpkin! How's it going? Are you ready to arrive home tomorrow?" My mom asked, so eager to see me.
"Yes. I'm ready to return back to you. And I still have the stone in my possession. How's everything going so far?" I asked.
"It's going pretty well so far. There's still more news occurring about the flash of light, so all of these people are still figuring out what is going on."
"It's still going on, eh? Well I guess I'll still need to wait until something comes up later." I said with a down look.
"Yeah. How are you feeling right now?"
"I'm fine. I just wanted to call you to ask you if you wanted to see my friends on video chat?"
"Sure! I would LOVE to see how many friends you've got hanging out with you.
"Cool. Hold on. Let me turn on my light." I said as I was going to brighten up the room and tried to put my phone on the wall.
"Alright can you see us?" I asked while I was looking at my mother.
"Yeah. GEEZ! You got a bunch of new friends!" Mom shouted while looking very surprised at all of the friends that I've got.
"Well, I got four with me right now. Girls, this is my mom." I said to them.
"Hiya!" Amitie shouted.
"Nice to meet you." Arle said.
"Hello, Kaze's mom." Ringo said.
"It is my pleasure to meet you." Raffina said.
"They sure seem nice! Nice to meet you all. You may call me Jordyn. What are all of your names?" My mom asked.
"The name's Amitie! It's nice to meet you."
"My name's Raffina. Again. It's a pleasure to meet your acquaintance."
"My name's Arle Nadja. You can just call me Arle for short. I hope we can get along as well."
"And my name is Ringo. It's nice to meet you as well."
"Wow… you girls have dyed your hair just like Kaze. I'm kinda jealous." Mom said.
"Well… I don't… dye my hair." Arle said with a nervous look and a sweatdrop.
"Me either. Although I would look cool with a new hair color." Amitie said.
"So that means Raffina and Ringo have dyed their hair." I said while looking at Raffina and Ringo.
"Correct." Raffina and Ringo said. "Which is why I'm the most beautiful girl in Primp Town. Oh La-Ti-Da!"
"Hahahaha! Wow, you sure look beautiful! But what was that type of accent that you just said after you just ended your sentence?"
"Huh? Do you mean Oh La-Ti-Da?" Raffina asked, confused.
"That's what I wanted to figure out at first. It's gotta be a different language that she took from a different world." I said while looking at Raffina:
"W-W-What do you mean?! I just like saying it that way! There's nothing with it! Well… let's just say it's more like royalty. Let's just call it that." Raffina said, trying to make things right for her.
"Right…" I said with a sweatdrop. "Anyway, I also wanted to tell you that these girls were also helping me protect this red stone. Along with other people as well in which I won't be able to tell since it's a long list."
"Really?! Did something happen along the way?!" Mom asked us.
"Yes, but it's a really long story. I don't want to talk the whole way through." I said.
"It's ok, Kaze. We could fill in for you and make the conversation better." Arle said.
"We know about those two so we can join in the conversation if you let us." Ringo said.
"Well if these two know something, then the three of you can explain to me what was happening when you guys were protecting the red stone. I can put all the information to everyone and they will definitely understand why the flash of lights were occurring."
…
…
…
"Ok. I guess that kinda makes sense. Alright… now where should I begin."
We then told my mother the keys to what went down during our safeguard of the red stone. How Satan and Ecolo were using different tactics to steal the red stone along with the other stones in order to spark an apocalypse. But only just the red stone. Along with how they recruited Arfoire to go raid the Suzaran City celebration at the beach and steal the red stone from me but still managed to protect it. I also added the fact that Floré was there to help me get rid of Arfoire, but not only that she was helping me, the stone was starting to glow and a giant bomb-like Puyo starting falling down on only Arfoire and exploded at a huge radius, causing her to blow away at a high rate speed in which it was hard for her to see. That was when I told everyone who evacuated from the city about that scuffle. And that was when after everyone was walking home excluding me, Ringo, Arle, Amitie, Raffina and Witch who were trying to get Arle's sleeping bag so that all of us could finally relax, Satan and Ecolo appeared again but with bigger pain. And what I meant by that is that Rulue, Schezo, Harpy, Draco, Serilly, Ragnus and Chico were all possessed by those two (Only Ecolo himself) and started to attack us, with me almost losing my strength at the process due to Rulue choking me. But I told my mom she was actually choking me in order to find out where I placed the stone, and soon as she found the stone she threw me to the ground and gave the stone to Ecolo. They were about to leave with the red stone but that was when Ecolo was trying to make sure that I really don't interfere so he tried to find a way to use the red stone, but then, out of nowhere, we told my mom that Yamabuki, who was on top of a tree, snatched the red stone from Ecolo and quickly evaded in a flash. That was when Ciel tried to heal us all who were badly injured. The Seven clones were demanding for the stone back, but then we challenged them to a Puyo battle, and managed to make them snap out of it by defeating them brutally. Probably because of us using dirty chains. Then we tried to explain to Arle's friends who got out of Ecolo's illusion what happened to them and they seemed to understand. Then Ecolo was wanting to know what happened to brainwashed clones of Arle's friends and we explained to Ecolo that we had to do what we must to help get them back to normal. And that was to create dirty chains. Then after hearing that story, Satan and Ecolo were still not giving up as they were still demanding for the stone back so all of us challenged them to a Puyo battle. And they lost. Twice. The first time I won was that I had to take over for everyone that was teaming with me. The second time I won was that I had to defeat them one-on-one due to Ecolo taking over Satan's body. And the last thing I did to make them get out of here was to use the red stone that I still have and blast them into the starry-night sky. And that was it. Those evil beings were no more after that.
Arle was talking about why Satan was trying to capture the red stone. She explained that Satan was trying to destroy all worlds because he had no interest in people in terms of our… appearance, I guess. I'm not sure. Not to mention that he doesn't want Arle and Carbuncle to die so he wants to make sure it doesn't happen right away. My mother was so thankful for Arle that she tried to defend herself at all times by saying no to him. Danger would have arisen at any moment. Arle then told my mom that she knew Satan for a very long time and she told mom that Satan was like this for a very long time and he was always acting like this towards her. But I guess Arle will definitely make him learn his lesson after all the weird times she has put with him.
Ringo just told my mom that Ecolo was a shadowy figure who likes to drool. He always likes to trick people and make fun of them. He was also alongside Satan and was planning on burying all worlds into ruin as well. He would rather want to play with Ringo, but for this one, he is just planning on destroying worlds alongside him for now. Ringo also mentioned that she knew Ecolo for so long so she was sure that she'll try to take care of his evil schemes.
"Yeah. And… that's all. It was like a VERY long story." I said as we finished what was almost 40 minutes of our long story.
"Wow… all this time that you guys were protecting this stone. Now I'm really concerned about what's going to happen next once you return home with the stone, Kaze. We can really put more intel on what is really going on."
"Well, I'll be back as soon I can, mom." I said.
"Wait, do you know something, Jordyn?" Ringo asked, being a little curious.
"Oh yeah, we haven't told you guys this before."
"Remember when I said I was going back home last week? We heard that there may be another stone over there too. At first, I didn't realize it but my mother was no joke when I first called her and asked her about how the United Kingdom was going." I explained.
"There's another stone over there? And Satan and Ecolo are after that thing as well?" Arle asked.
"Well… Not that they are here right now, but all I can say it's so questionable to decide if they are going after that stone next. Maybe this "Arfoire" lady is gonna try to hunt it down or maybe there will be no one else finding out where that other stone is."
"Well the area in the United Kingdom is EXTREMELY large so it's going to be really hard to find where that other stone is. I'm sure there's gonna be some people around looking for it before we even get a chance." I said.
"Well we still have time on the bright side. Everyone just needs to figure out why these flashes of light are occurring because it's happening everywhere on the news."
"But would it be possible if Satan, Ecolo and Arfoire all try to look for the stone in the United Kingdom?" Amitie asked.
"I don't know. This might be their first time going there if they reach there. It's so hard to experience what we are gonna find out next." I said.
"Maybe those three are working for the person who is in need of the stones in order to create this apocalypse in all six worlds. We know the United Kingdom, Primp Town and Suzaran City are part of it. But what are the next four?" Raffina asked.
"Well we do know Arfoire came from one dimension, but we don't know what that dimension is." Arle said.
"And it's also concerning that she was being recruited in order to come after the red stone when she doesn't even know about the red stone." Mom said while thinking about it.
"Oh yeah! And I didn't get the chance to tell her about the other stones either. We could've definitely added even more detail to this whole situation that is going on. But all because of her using magic and sending these huge robots inside the beach, I didn't try to gather information from her about what she knows about the other four stones that are in the four dimensions." I said.
"Maybe Satan and Ecolo were really that tenacious looking for that thing in the first place. Although Satan wants me alive." Arle said with a sweatdrop.
"He won't be there for you, Arle. I'll make sure he stays away from you. I'll do the same with Ecolo." Ringo said.
"Thanks, Ringo. I'm glad to have an innocent friend like you." Arle said with a smile.
"You girls remember that I'm still here." I said to both of them.
"We'll never forget about you." Ringo and Arle said with a smile.
"Anyway, mom. How's dad? Is he doing ok?" I asked.
"Yes. He's doing alright. He said that he's very happy that you got the chance to learn magic. He said he'll bring you back something special." Mom said.
"Wowsers! You can thank us for getting you this far, Kaze!" Amitie shouted.
"Ok ok. Yes I know. But I was the one with the hard effort so I guess I should be thanking myself for that." I said.
"I haven't been meaning to ask this for a long while but… why do you and Jordyn look SO different?" Raffina said while looking so surprised and confused at the same time.
"Well… about that, Raffina…"
"Actually, I'll explain. Kaze was born with light-purple eyes. I was so stunned by her eye color because most of us people have brown, green and blue eyes. She's the only person with the light-purple eye color. It made me feel like I wanted to play with them so bad…"
"Did you really have to say that without a care in the world?!" I yelled at my mom while blushing. The others were laughing at me.
"Ugh… you bullies." I said with a face palm.
"Oh, Kaze. Always falling for it. But anyway, back to what I was saying, Her father or my husband was also stunned by the eye color as well, but we both had to get used to it and looking at her makes it even cuter. That was when we showed Kaze her eye color and she kinda liked it. It was so adorable seeing Kaze the way she is today."
"Now you girls see the reason why I like purple so much. Although I'm not wearing anything purple right now." I said to everyone.
"But she was not all purple in her appearance before you guys see the purple hair that she has. She had long black hair but she wanted a ponytail because she likes ponytails."
"Really?" Everyone asked while looking at me.
"Yup. That's true." I said to them.
"And it was like this until she wanted a change of hair color at the age of 13. She wanted to move on from the black hair color so I decided to give her a purple hair color spray. Since she likes purple so much."
"Geez. So that's why you look like this. Something tells me that you may be the rarest person to find." Raffina said to me.
…
…
...
"Well, now that you say that… I bet I am the rarest person. In terms of appearance." I said after thinking about it.
"But I don't think there are any rare people like her here in our world. If you look at our hair color, you can see why we are not rare." Ringo said.
"I can see that. Although I don't know much about this world, if I get the chance I'll study it more. But for now… I'll leave it at that." Mom said.
"Anyway, is my bus ticket going to arrive in the morning?" I asked my mom.
"Yeah, it should be there by the time you pack all your stuff. I'll be texting you to see if you are good to go."
"Do you think Kaze will come back any time, Jordyn?" Amitie asked.
"She will, Amitie. But for the time being, She has to return back. I know guys care about her so much, but I really don't want my daughter to be left behind for a long time."
"Well, she does have a point. Besides, me and my mother planned that we'll try to research the stones ourselves and see if we can get any more intel."
"Oh." Amitie didn't look too happy.
"You don't have to feel bad, Amitie. People don't come to different dimensions for a very long time, but I'll tell you this. We had so much fun together. I just want you to remember all the good times that we had together when I was here. And the next time you get to see me, the good times will get even better. I promise." I explained to her.
"Alright. I'll try to keep that in mind. You truly are a good friend."
"Same here." Raffina said with a smile
"Don't forget about us too." Ringo said with a smile.
"Agreed." Arle said with a smile as well.
"Same to you guys. I respect it all the way." I said with a smile.
"And I wanted to thank you girls SO much for keeping Kaze some company all the way through. I really appreciate it. She didn't have any friends at all until you girls came in and gave her something to do with you." My mom praised them.
"No problem! I'm always there to befriend anyone!" Amitie said with a peace sign.
"You're welcome. At first I thought she would be quiet due to her appearance, but there's no denying that she is this kind to us." Ringo said.
"Sure thing! We will always be there for her anytime." Arle said.
"Anytime! She is known to be heroic, but in the end, she is really kind to me and all of us so we'll have her back anytime at all." Raffina said.
These girls… How should I ever pay them back?
"Alright… Is that all, Kaze?" Mom asked.
"Nope. I guess that's it. Alright… I'll text you when I'm on the bus."
"Later, Jordyn!" Everyone shouted.
"Later everyone. It was nice seeing you girls. I hope we can see each other again soon. And I'll see you in the morning, Kaze." My mom said while I was grabbing my phone.
"Alright. See you later, mom." I said before hanging up the phone.
"Your mom sure is nice Kaze." Raffina said.
"Yeah. And that's why I love her so much. And like she said, I never had friends at all back in my world. I was just alone. Really."
"Well, at least we got you as friends. We will always look after you. Same goes for everyone as well." Arle said.
"Yup. What Arle said. We always got each other's back until the very end. Even though we didn't see Raffina do much back then." Ringo said.
"Well now you'll get to see me do what I can. I'm not giving up my Super Courageous Heroine title for no reason." Raffina said with confidence.
"You're not wrong." Arle said.
"Alright. I think we should go to sleep. The bus might come in the afternoon so I think we should get prepared for tomorrow." I said as I was going to turn off the light.
"Yeah. You're right. Talking with Jordyn all this time is making me really sleepy." Raffina said.
"Me too. But at the same time… it was still enjoyable." Amitie said.
"I had a long day as well. I don't wanna keep all of my friends waiting." Arle said.
"You guys don't snore right?" I asked. Everyone said no.
"Alright. I was hoping all of you would say no because it's really weird."
"I say no because it's definitely weird." Raffina said.
"I would snore sometimes but not all the time." Amitie said.
"Snoring is not right for me. I would have to sleep normally in order for me to have a good morning when I wake up." Ringo said.
"Well, alright. Goodnight everyone." I said as I closed my eyes and went to sleep.
"Goodnight, Kaze." Everyone said as they all went to sleep as well.
Finally! Sleep! That's all I could ever ask for in my life. I better make sure this doesn't happen again the next time I wake up.
*THE NEXT MORNING*
The next morning was finally the day. I am ready to head back to the United Kingdom after getting through everything that was happening when I was here.
After we all got up, put our blankets and sleeping bags away and got dressed, we were sitting on the table in the living room eating our breakfast. We all were eating cereal and having a normal conversation.
"Finally… The day has arrived. It's been somewhat of a long ride." I said while I was eating my cereal.
"You sure are excited to go back, huh?" Arle asked.
"Well I'm actually gonna miss you all, but yeah. Now that I got everything, my dark magic, the red stone, my clothes, etc., I'm all ready to get on the bus this afternoon. There's no way I'm missing out on everything that I have."
"Do you always have a good mindset when you are packing your own things?" Ringo asked.
"Yes. I usually pack the important stuff that I need when I'm going on trips and I always never miss out on the things that I have to pack whenever needed." I said.
"That's nice. I always do the same when I'm packing. There were some errors that I can actually make, but I can do the same thing."
"So this is what you do daily, Kaze? Or do you just watch tv?" Raffina asked.
"Well… I do both. In here… I eat breakfast. I'm just not into watching tv right now."
"Really? That's odd. Because I do that. Like. A lot." Ringo said.
"I don't watch tv since I have one in my world." Arle said.
"You don't have a tv, Arle?" Raffina asked, confused.
"I wanted to get one, but I don't think I have that much money to buy one." Arle said with a down look.
"Understandable."
"I would eat breakfast and go outside. That would be my morning activity." Amitie said. "Of course I would watch TV while eating breakfast when I'm up, but I always get prepared to start a new day so I skip out on breaks and do what I need to do so I can go outside and enjoy the fresh air."
"You sure are energetic, huh?" Raffina asked Amitie.
"Yup! I'm always energetic! And I'm glad to make friends with all of you! Not to mention, Sig, Klug, Lidelle… Ciel, Everyone."
"You can say that again." Arle said. "We always have each other's backs sometimes. Not that Raffina was involved in many things. But you will be part of it. I'm sure of it."
"Thanks for that, Miss Arle." Raffina said with a sweatdrop.
"Although, Arle. You are always the one who is that heroic when you exclude Kaze." Amitie said.
"Really? I… don't think Ecolo and I don't get along that much. Even though he possessed me one time." Arle said while scratching her head.
"You got possessed, Arle?" I asked her.
"Yeah. Long story short. I got possessed by Ecolo out of nowhere and Ringo had to save me and we and Amitie had to defeat him." Arle said.
"I didn't know how he possessed her in the first place to begin with." Ringo said. When I first met him, he was planning on putting all worlds into an apocalypse but we had to take care of that. I can tell you more about what Ecolo did another time before you arrived."
"That's a pain. I wish I would've helped you guys but I guess I would be too young to be joining in." I said.
"There's no problem with it. You could've still played Puyo Puyo. Even Professor Accord could've helped you out." Amitie said.
"Yeah… but I think I would still be too young to do it. It'd be kinda dangerous in terms of age."
"Well you're not wrong."
"Anyway, do you guys wanna go outside and see what we can do… actually let me see if I got my bus ticket. It should have arrived." I said as I got up from the floor and went to the door.
I really hope it does.
And when I opened the door…
"Oh? I guess this must be it." I said as I picked up an envelope.
"Is that it? I thought that was the bus ticket." Raffina said, looking confused.
"It is. I think it may be inside here." I said as I opened the envelope.
And when I opened the envelope and got what was in there…
"Yup. That's probably my ticket." I said while looking at the object that was inside the envelope.
"So your mother is actually doing these things for you." Ringo said.
"You can say that again. She always respects me, so I respect her back. There's no complaint about it."
"But do you really travel alone, Kaze?" Raffina asked me.
"No not at all. I go with my mom everywhere we go." I said. "But just for this one, she bought me this only for me so that I can learn magic by myself. She didn't want to join the fun so that's why she didn't come along with me."
"That's a shocker. I really wish she would be more like you." Arle said.
"Well… I kinda want her too, but she is not much of a specialist when it comes to working with magic. It's too complicated to tell the reason why."
"Well… actually, same here." Raffina said, trying to admit. It was really hard working with magic when I first got to Primp Town Magic School, but I decided to suck it up and use my martial arts abilities. I believe it was going to be better that way."
"Well, I bet you will soon be like Rulue even though you two knew each other. I bet you guys work these "Martial Arts" a bit intensely." Arle said.
"Yeah I already know. I claim the Super Courageous Heroine title so I should be a powerful woman. But apparently, a new foe has entered the battle." Raffina then looked at me with a smirk.
"Well, I don't do Martial Arts a lot. I just want to have magic is all I have. But I'll try working on self-defense when I get the chance." I said with a nervous giggle.
"Yeah. Anyway, I wanna go outside. I'm starting to get a little bored inside here." Amitie said.
"You want to go outside, Amitie? Ok. Let me get my bookbag." I said while I was getting my bookbag.
"Yeah we should find something to do before we hit the afternoon. Right, Carby." Arle asked.
"Gugu!"
"We can go to the park and look for something to do." Ringo said.
"Yeah! That way, we can see what is there to do. I'm curious to see if I'd bug hunt again." Amitie said.
Of course. A bug-aholic.
"Well we still have time so I guess I should find something to do in these last hours." I said.
"Your right. Let's get everything settled and head on out." Raffina said.
After we cleaned our bowls, made sure we got everything in our bags, we all had to go outside in order to reach the park. I'm pretty sure anyone is going to be there as well. I may not be so sure. Since it's still morning.
"Why is it always so quiet everytime when I'm out here every morning?" I asked.
"Most people don't come out often. They probably just watch tv or they might be oversleeping." Raffina said to me.
"Sig would be up and looking for bugs early. So I'm hoping that he SHOULD arrive somewhere here. I'm just hoping where he is though." Amitie said.
"Well, that's true. But when you mention Sig, nowadays, he is with Lidelle. I'm pretty sure she is stealing Sig away from you." Raffina said with a smirk on her face and a suspicious look.
"S-Steal him?! That's not true! Well… the point is, we all like Sig… Kaze on the other hand started blushing, wanting S…"
"No no no! I-I-I-It's not like that at all!" I yelled while blushing and looking away from them. "*sigh* I just like him as a friend. It's just that we don't communicate much."
"Ok…" Raffina with a sweatdrop. "But anyway, like you said, Amitie, he should be out here somewhere."
We continued to walk down the path on this peaceful morning. After hearing what Amitie was about to say made me feel embarrassed… a little. I haven't even planned on getting a… b-boyfriend. I'm not that experienced when it comes to love.
…
…
…
Look, I'll try to think about it soon. Give me some time for once.
"Hey look! Speak of the devil! And there's Klug, Lidelle and TaruTaru too." Ringo said as she pointed to where they were.
"Yup. That's Sig for you." Amitie said.
"I wonder what they are up to this time." Raffina said.
"Hey guys!" Amitie called out to them.
"Oh. It's you girls." Klug said to us.
"What are you guys doing?" Raffina asked.
"We are just trying to collect more bugs with Sig. He seems to be pushing harder than I thought he would be the last few days." Lidelle said.
"Oh… you five have come." I heard Sig say.
"Hiya, Sig! I see you are doing well." Amitie said with a smile.
"Oh… Amitie. I'm glad you are well too."
"I never thought that you guys were actually doing something with Sig for once. I thought you guys don't like dealing with bugs." Ringo said.
"Well I'm not a bug expert, but I would rather do something new for once so I decided to gather some insects with him." TaruTaru said.
"I mean, what else would you expect? It's the summer, so why not do something with Sig for once. I'm typically unsatisfied in picking up bugs, but I guess I need to go with my gut." Klug said.
"I was hoping you would become a bookworm."
…
…
…
"*nervous giggle* You get it? Because you wanted to find insects. So I prefer you would grab worms." Ringo said, trying to explain it more clearly.
…
…
…
"Still no?"
"Well… you do have a point there… but that's not why I'm called a bookworm. Or what I do." Klug said. "I'm just trying to become a diligent person. Not just some master of bugs."
"Well that's good to hear, I guess." Ringo said.
"By the way, what's with all the bags?" TaruTaru asked.
"We were just coming from Kaze's house. She's leaving Primp Town today." Raffina said.
"Oh. Leaving so soon, huh? Well I guess it was nice meeting you, Kaze." TaruTaru said.
"It was nice meeting you too. I also can't forget about you, Lidelle." I said.
"I know. It was nice meeting you as well. I hope we can get along someday." Lidelle said with a smile.
"Sure thing." I said with a smile.
"Do you wanna help me collect bugs?" Sig asked.
"Sure thing! We got nothing to do!" Amitie cheerfully said.
"Well… I guess I could do it for a little while." Ringo said.
"You want to try picking up bugs, Carby?" Arle asked.
"Gugugu!"
"Umm… I guess I'm in. But I don't want to pick up bugs. At least I could show you where they are at." I said with a nervous look.
"Y-Yeah same here. I don't want to be dirty, picking up insects. I want to have good hygiene for myself. In order to stay beautiful." Raffina said.
"That's fine. Let's go see what we can find." Amitie said.
*ONE HOUR LATER*
"Alright I'm done. I don't think I have any more energy to find anything else." I said while trying to relax.
"Me too. I'm beat." Raffina said, doing the same thing I'm doing.
"You seem out of breath." Klug said, walking up to us.
"Tell me about it. All this time looking for bugs had me working up a sweat."
"I can't describe how hard it is to find bugs here in this world." I said.
"Agreed. I believe Sig might've caught a lot of bugs which is the reason why you don't see them here often." Klug said.
"Geez… I wonder how many bugs the others got. There aren't many bugs around here in this area so I think it's doubtful that they collected so many." Raffina said.
"You guys are done already?" Amitie asked as she walked up to us.
"Yeah. We couldn't find anything else, Amitie." I said.
"At least you guys tried."
"Yeah we did."
"But anyway, bug hunting was totally fun. At least you guys told us where each bug was on the bright side." Amitie said.
"Yeah. That was what probably drained our energy. We don't do much in bug hunting." I said.
"Fair enough."
"Hey guys! Look what we found." We heard Arle's voice as the rest of the gang came back.
"Wow. That looks pretty. What is that?" Amitie asked while we were looking at a blue butterfly.
"It's called a Morpho Godartii. It used to be a rare bug in this world and now I finally found it." Sig said.
"Well, that's good for you, Sig." Raffina said with a smile.
"We only caught four bugs." Arle said.
"Gugu." Carbuncle said.
"I had only two." Ringo said.
"I had two as well." Lidelle said.
"I didn't get the chance to get anything as well." TaruTaru said.
"I just told Kaze that there's not much bugs around here in this area." Raffina said.
"All because Sig catches everything he sees in his path." Klug said.
"I have to take care of bug collection so my bugs don't run away from me." Sig said.
"I see. You are really that responsible for taking care of your bugs, huh? That's nice to hear." Amitie said.
"You can say that again, I guess."
This boy has a strong feeling for bugs.
*BUZZ*
I then heard my phone vibrate. I had to walk away from the others to see what was going on.
"I'll be right back. I got a text from my mother." I said to everyone.
Like I said, I got a text from my mother, making sure that I got all my things. She's just hoping that I'm doing well.
When I opened up my text message…
"Did you get your bus ticket and all your belongings?"
My mom texted me.
"Yeah. I got all my stuff. I'll text you when I get on at 12:15." I texted back.
*BZZZT*
"Ok. You have the red stone?"
"Yup. It's in my bookbag."
*BZZZT*
"Alright. I really hope you stay safe on the bus. You are my only daughter that I love so much."
"I'll be fine, mom. Nothing is going to happen to me."
*BZZZT*
"Ok. As long as you're safe. Text me back when you are in the bus station in the United Kingdom."
"You got it."
Just you wait, mom. I'll be back for you.
I went back to everyone else after a short conversation with my mother.
"Alright. I'm back." I called out to everyone.
"Was that your mother?" Arle asked me.
"Yeah. She was just checking up on me. Nothing extra." I said.
"Is there anything else you want to do for the remainder of this before you leave?" Ringo asked.
"Well… I want to go to the store and grab some snacks and then go to the bus station."
"Didn't you eat breakfast?" Raffina asked.
"Yeah, but I don't wanna be starving the whole ride back so I have to pack something to eat in order to not starve."
"Fair enough. Alright. Let's go." Raffina said.
"I was hoping that I would get something to eat anyway after we did all this bug hunting." Amitie said.
"I'll see you guys later." I said waving to the people who went with Sig.
"We'll meet again, Kaze." Klug said.
"Bye, Kaze. I'm gonna miss you." Lidelle said.
"Later, Kaze." TaruTaru and Sig said.
These four I'm gonna miss as well.
We all have arrived in the store to pick up some snacks before we get to the train station. I'm just hoping that I could make it to the bus station before the clock strikes 12:15.
"Alright. We made it. So what do you plan on getting?" Raffina asked.
"Maybe I'll try to grab some brownies and two bottles of juice." I said.
"That kinda sounds basic to me." Raffina said with a sweatdrop.
"I'm gonna grab some candy." Amitie said as she walked around the store.
"You two need anything?" Raffina asked Ringo and Arle.
"No. I guess we will wait for you outside." Ringo said.
"Agreed. I'm not gonna get anything through here." Arle said.
Then they both left the store to wait for us.
"I guess they both are not hungry." I said.
"I wouldn't bother it. Let's just grab what we both want." Raffina said.
"Well said."
Me, Raffina and Amitie then had to grab the snacks that we needed before we started heading to the bus station. So I grabbed a pack of brownies and two bottles from the counters that they were in. I'm pretty sure those things will keep me from being bored inside the bus.
Let's just hope that I don't miss my stop as well as me skipping the stop in the United Kingdom.
I then decided to walk back down to the cash register with everything that I had in my hands, until someone caught my attention in one of the aisles. And that person was all alone by herself in which she was having some difficulties.
"Goodness, where is this pudding at? It's so hard to find something so common."
"Primm? You are here too?" I called out to her.
"Oh. Kaze. Thank goodness you're here. I need your help with something." Primm said.
"What do you need help with?" I asked, a little curious.
"You see… I'm looking for this chocolate pudding here in this store because I don't want to starve at work. Do you know where it is in this store by any chance?"
"Chocolate pudding? Did you try checking the freezer section?" I asked her.
"I don't… think so. I'm new to these types of things."
"Really?!" I asked, looking shocked at what she just said.
"I've never been at a store my whole life. Io would just go to the store all by herself and grab the stuff that we need."
"That's odd to hear. So you and Toule just stay home?"
"Correct. She has the guts to grab all the bags by herself in just mere seconds."
"No wonder how she would have allowed you guys to walk with her just to grab everything that you guys need."
"I wanted to go, but she told me that I'm too young to go with her and help since we don't have a car to drive. The reason being… I don't want to talk about it. It's too complicated to tell."
"You don't have to tell me if it's making you feel uncomfortable. I'll understand how you feel if you don't want to explain the reason why you always be with Toule at home."
"Really?"
"Really."
…
…
…
"Ok. Thank you, Kaze." Primm said with a smile.
"Now let's try looking for that Chocolate Pudding." I said.
"Ok."
The two of us then looked for the chocolate pudding that was inside one of the freezer sections. Maybe helping a friend is another way that I can use up some time before the bus pulls up.
Primm is so nice. She is like Lidelle and Amitie when I put it into perspective. And I'm not gonna forget that at all.
"Alright we are here. Let's see what we got." I said as I looked down the sections.
Alright let's see… milk, cheese, meat, yogurt…
"Oh, here is some chocolate pudding." I said as I opened the door and grabbed the pudding.
"This is the pudding! Thank you so much, Kaze!" Primm said, looking a lot happy.
"No problem. You can rely on me at any time." I said.
"So… what's with the bag if I may ask?"
"Oh this? Yeah… about that, I'm going back home."
"Home? Don't you have a home?" Primm asked, being a little confused.
"No, I mean home. I'm going back to the United Kingdom. Apparently, it's another dimension that I live in so that's why you won't see me again after I leave."
"You live in another dimension? That's pretty nice to hear."
"Yeah. I think you might like it once you arrive there someday. It's a pretty large world to begin with."
"Ok. That's probably why you have your snacks with you, yes?"
"Yes. I can't be starving the whole entire ride so I have to eat something while I'm on the bus."
"Ok. Are you going to the register? Because I am."
"Yeah I was going to the register. My friends are probably waiting for me so I should hurry back and purchase these things."
"Ok. Let us hurry."
"Yes. Let's."
We all hurried back to the register where Raffina and Amitie might be waiting for us to get what we need. Us trying to grab Primm's pudding might have wasted us some time, but it was no big deal after all.
I hope these guys are not impatient this time.
"I'm back." I said as we both made it to the cash register.
"Primm? You are here too?" Amitie asked.
"Yes. I was gonna get some pudding but I didn't know where it was so Kaze helped me out and found it."
"We could've helped you out, you know!" Amitie said, a little worried.
"I'm sorry! I'm just… new to places like this. And It was hard to find the pudding when I was alone."
"Maybe we were so late once you arrived, is that right?" I asked.
"I guess."
"Well, it doesn't matter. We gotta purchase our stuff and get a move on." Raffina said.
"Right."
Several minutes, like almost 45 minutes have passed now and we were at the bus station to wait for my bus to arrive. We were on the bench having our last conversation.
"What time does your bus come?" Raffina asked me.
"It comes at 12:15." I said.
"It's been really fun chatting and seeing each other, Kaze. Hope we can do it again some other time." Amitie said.
"Yeah. I know. It's been so grateful that you guys were always caring about me so much. I feel a lot comfortable after all of the events that I went through."
"Some of the events were crazy, but I can't ignore the fact that you get embarrassed easily whenever I tease you so much. It's kinda funny on my end." Raffina said.
"Yes. You love wanting me to hit you so much because of this." I said with a sweatdrop.
"But you seem to be the kindest person that we know. You always rely on others when they need you."
"Yes. This is how I am towards people back in my world. But I get all the space to myself prior to being kind towards others."
"I wish there were more people that were like you in this world. There may be some people that we don't know but I actually wish there were." Arle said.
"That's true. Our friendships will never end if we keep it this way. We totally had fun with you around. Playing board games, Puyo Puyo, going on trips, everything. You even changed this whole environment." Ringo said.
Ringo's right. I kinda did.
…
…
…
"I'm glad that you said that. You can also thank me for having to deal with Satan and Ecolo both. I should be glad that I saved Arle's friends also." I said.
"Yes. I wanted to rely on them so much. Even Schezo and Rulue but you had to fill in for me and changed the whole scenery." Arle said.
"Actually, Arle, I think you were part of it too. But only when they were brainwashed by Ecolo and you had to convince Rulue to be your friend due to the fact that you want to allow Rulue to have Satan all to herself. Was Rulue acting mean to you when she noticed that you have taken a liking towards Satan?"
"Yes. I didn't know why she was acting like that. But now that she is finally convinced, she will start to trust me more." Arle said.
"Speaking of him and Ecolo, I bet they won't find out where to find you again with that stone now that you are leaving. That was a really good strategy right there." Ringo said.
"Yup. Now they can finally leave us alone just for this sake of time." I said.
These guys did everything for me, which is making me really happy. I don't even know how they did it, but I wish there were a lot of people like them.
"So what about your magic? Do you think it might shift over to your world?" Amitie asked.
"Probably. I got affected by it by playing Puyo Puyo so I think it might be probable that I would go back home with magic." I said.
I should probably check my phone.
I pulled my phone out of my pocket to check the time.
"Alright. I think the bus should pull up in five minutes." I said as it was now 12:10 PM.
…
…
…
"It was nice to see you here in Primp Town, Kaze. I'll definitely never forget you." Raffina said. While trying to hold back her tears.
"Yeah. We really had so much fun getting along together. I had my fun and you did too. So I'll never forget about you, either." Amitie said. Also holding back tears.
"Same here, Kaze. I wanted to thank you so much for dealing with Ecolo with me while I was here. I kinda appreciate you being a good friend." Ringo said.
"Me and Carby won't forget about you either. I truly thank you for becoming special to us and I'll definitely never forget about you either. We all had our shares of fun. So I hope we can see each other again real soon." Arle said.
"You guys…" I said as I didn't know what to say about those four.
…
…
…
"No problem. I'm gonna miss you all. And I'll definitely never get about you." I said while holding back my tears.
From the bottom of my heart.
"Can I have one last hug from you guys?" I asked.
"Yeah." They all said. All of us had to create hugs one last time. Some of them were emotional. Some tears were falling down, but I guess these may be the signs of goodbye. But it's not REALLY goodbye. It's a "see you later" type of thing.
"I guess this is really goodbye, huh?" Amitie asked, with tears still falling down.
"No… It's not a goodbye. It's a "see you later". I'll return someday. We all have to wait until we see each other again someday." I said.
Speaking of which…
"And one more thing… I don't do this often… but do you guys want to take a group photo with me?" I asked everyone.
"I would love that!" Amitie shouted.
"Yes! Me and Carby!" Arle shouted.
"I'm down for it." Raffina said.
"Sure thing." Ringo said.
"Can we make silly faces?" Amitie asked.
"Do what you want." I said while trying to align the camera on my phone
"Ready?" I asked.
"Ready." Everyone said.
"1…2...3!"
…
…
…
*CLICK*
"*giggle* Amitie, why do you look like that?" I said while looking at her face showing that she lit her eyes up and her mouth showing like she was about to spit.
"Well that is a silly face of course." Amitie said.
"It looks kinda weird." Raffina said with a sweatdrop.
"Hey!"
"At least the picture looks normal for us. It looks like we all had a good time. I'll definitely never forget about this one." Ringo said.
"Yup. Me and Carby are definitely cute in this one." Arle said.
"Gugu. Gugugugugugugu!"
"*giggle* I bet you will be in the future." Arle said to Carbuncle.
"I'm not gonna lie, but you must be a good translator on what Carbuncle says, huh?" I asked.
"Yup. And I'm really good at it too. I can teach you how to communicate with him well some other time."
Arle said with a smile.
"Yeah. That'll work."
*For those passengers who are taking a ride to a different dimension, the next bus is pulling up. Please head to the loading area.*
"That's me." I said as I grabbed my bookbag.
I now looked at all my friends. We didn't get to do much together due to many things that were going on, but in the end, these people made me feel happy. Really. Our relationship would still bloom from time to time. And I'm glad that they were all on my side. All of these fun events that I did with them were so much fun. I didn't know what would happen to me if I ended up dealing with such idiotic people, but now that I ran into such innocent people, I have a strong heart for them. Which is why I will get to see them again real soon.
And I said this to my friends...
"If I get a chance to make some friends back home, then I'll introduce them all to you. But for now, I truly thank you girls for everything here in this world."
"That's nice to hear, Kaze." Ringo said.
"We can't deny that." Arle said.
"Yup. Same here." Amitie said.
"I would be glad to see how many friends you got." Raffina said.
"And… See you later, Kaze." Ringo said while waving her hand.
"Bye, Best friend! I hope we'll see each other again." Amitie shouted
"Come back here anytime, Kaze." Arle said.
I then saw Raffina with tears falling down on her face again. I was hoping that our friendship lasted all the way through. I'm just glad she had my back.
So I came up to her and gave her a comfortable hug one last time.
"Don't worry. You'll see me again soon. I promise we can do all the things that you want to do. Just try your best to not forget about me, ok?" I whispered to her while putting my hands on her shoulders.
"You got it." Raffina whispered.
We then broke apart. And I was looking at them for the very last time. It was that time where I shall take my leave here in Primp Town and back home.
"See you later, Kaze." Everyone said while a few girls were waving their hands.
"Farewell, my friends." I said to them as I waved to them and walked towards my bus. The time has come…
…
…
…
Yup. Arle, Amitie, Ringo, Raffina. I'll miss you all. And I'll never forget about you.
Author's Note: And that is the exclamation point. Kaze says goodbye to all of her friends and leaves Primp Town to go back home to the United Kingdom, the world that Kaze's been to all her life. Now that she has dealt with so much in her life, she can finally get a chance to relax for now. But that doesn't mean her work here is done because there is more work to do.
So this concludes the story of how Kaze manages to fulfill her dream and becomes heroic to everyone who is in the world of Puyo Puyo. So the people who read the whole story through, I thank you guys so much for reading this.
…
…
…
BUT! That doesn't mean the story is over. Not yet. Not by a long shot. There's a reason why the story is called "Dimensional Saga: The Legendary Warfare" which all of you guys already know. Kaze has one stone, but there are other stones that need to be found. So what will you guys see next? You'll have to find out soon.
I'm gonna be honest with you guys. I just wanted to complete this chapter as fast as I could so that I could take a break but there were two things that were distracting me: Sports, which I like to watch during my free time, and trying to make this chapter more entertaining. I'm sorry if this was not entertaining. I just didn't know if I had enough juice left but this is as far I can get through, so I apologize. But the next… maybe at a range of 3 to 10 chapters, I'll TRY. To make the chapters more entertaining for you to read. You just have to keep reading to find out.
One more thing. I'm changing categories after the next chapter. And I'm gonna change it to Miscellaneous Games. Remember that. Miscellaneous Games. I thought about this for a while and I think it works best if I put it under that category since the future chapters are now going to shift into the United Kingdom. So if you guys are still interested in my story, go to Fanfiction, click the category, Misc, and find Misc. Games and you can see my story. If you can find it. I'm not so sure. Or another option is that you could look up the title of the story as it says on the very top if you scroll up. If you don't remember the name, then just look up my username and it'll show on Google.
So that's all I got to say. I hope you guys enjoyed this LONG epilogue showing Kaze saying goodbye to all of her friends. It was kind of fun to read in my opinion. If you guys are satisfied in this story, make sure to follow or favorite this, and I'll see you guys in 2021…

Ok all jokes aside. I'll see you guys in the next chapter.
