A reunion...of a sort(Sarella)

"Blue! Blue, are you gonna go see that guy again?" Nettie asks me, jumping in my face as I walk inside. She shoves a paper to my face and I take a step back. "Woah, woah, Net, calm down," I say, taking the note. I'd left yesterday afternoon to meet Siprah - my neighbor - but we ended up in a fight. I read the note and scratch my head suspicously. "I don't know, it may be a trick," I say. My little sister sists down giddily and knocks over a cup. Lightning fast, I reach and stop it from shattering on the floor. Keep calm, Blue. Keep calm.

"Net, if anything like this ever happens to you, I reccomend you go. Just be ready to strangle someone if it's not who you expected," I say, a grin forming on my lips. Memories of the day I met Xander slip into my mind. Then they slide to the back of my head. He hasn't crossed my path since that day. Oh I oughta just turn him upside down and slap him with a spatula on the face.

"Alright, I'm going, just don't climb on any table tops," I say, and turn around. My path leads right into the Square, near where the note said to meet. It may be someone I don't like - perhaps someone who wants a fight. Of course, who would fight in such a public place? Inside, I laugh a little. Although it's never wrong to be cautious, it was most likely just Xander. I'm going to have quite a bit to say if I see him. I never want to have to go searching for him.

As I near the restaurant, I spot him craning his neck in many directions. I grin and pull a blueberry off it's bush. Then, sliding silently towards him, my grin turns into a cruel smile. Yes, I had many thoughts of hurting him, and yes, choking him is an option. The only thing keeping me from jumping on him and hitting the life out of him is the fact when I'm around him I feel like I do with Nettie - just more intense. So instead of murdering him, I walk to him and drop the blueberry in front of his face.

"Blueberry, the Great and Terrible, has arrived," I whisper in his ear.

Xander jumped what could have been a mile high, and falls on the ground. I shake my head, laughing at the small show he made. ""Don't hurt me Blue," he said, and explained why he hadn't been around. Then he asks me not to hurt him again. Oh what a man! So brave - and such a career! Inside I feel like wringing his neck, but I'm smiling too hard to do it. I swear, my mouth hurts from trying not to burst into laughter. "What a brave little boy you are!" I joke, "I'll get your blankie, just hold on a few minutes."

Truly, how could anyone hurt someone acting like such a fool? Well, I could, but I like Xander too much to do do that to him. Of course, being gone for the time he was was a bit annoying, and enough to make me feel like hitting him with a frying pan, but I can forget. If he deserves it. Xander abruptly stands up and forces some flowers from some boy, and offers them to me. I raise an eyebrow. Taking them awkwardly, I hold them by my side in my left hand, upside-down.

Then he offers me a chair. My smile leaves and turns into a steady gaze. I sit down, still looking at him closely. "I wanted to make up to you by eating at the best restaurant District 1 has to offer. I know it probably won't make up alot, but I hope it helps," He says. "Xander, you're fear was enough to make me satisfied," I say, "But food always helps."
