Back at the Academy, just the same time as when the 35-year old Amura met her mother, the 7-year old one in her 16-year old body was confused as she stared at Five.

"Where am I? I really am sure I'm at the beach with my Mama." The girl asked looking around.

Her English accent was gone, maybe because she was 13 years old when she moved to England, courtesy of the Handler.

Amura's suddenly big and innocent eyes were starting to water.

She was scared and confused, she didn't know what to do.

And the subconsciously old man started to panic as well, scared of making the brunette cry.

"H-Hey... Um... This is a dream, you'll wake up soon." Five told her, crouching in front of her so that she won't feel small and defenseless against him.

She won't feel scared that way as well.

Amura blinked her threatening tears and tilted her head at the boy.

It was so adorable that Five swore to himself that his heart just skipped a beat at that.

"A dream?" She asked.

"Yes. Yeah... This is just a dream... Look." He said and stood up, warping to every part of his room.

The blue light was surrounding them as he spatial jumped which amazed the 7-year old Amura.

"Wow! That was cool!" She said and giggled, lightening Five's heart at the small sounds she make.

"But... Why am I big? Is this what I look like when I'm old? Am I using my power?" She asked and asked while observing her slightly bigger physic.

And the boy sighed at her curiosity, 'Of course... Kids are such curious ones.' He thought to himself.

"A dream is just an imagination Amura... No big deal." He answered with a shrug.

"So, who are you Mister?" She pouted and tilted her head once more.

And Five swore she'll be the death of him.

He took a deep breath before answering, "I'm Five." He said, not even giving her the whole details.

The boy remembered the girl saying that she have quite a sharp memory before.

But she forgot how she lost that.

"A number?"

"Like I said... This is just a dream." He said once more, crouching in front of her once again.

"If that so..." Amura started and touched both of his cheeks.

Making the boy flustered, "I wanna drink coffee!" She said with pure determination.

Her eyebrows were furrowed and her amethyst eyes were staring at his green eyed ones.

Five blinked in confusion, "W-Wait... That's it?" He asked, can't help but snicker at her request.

The girl removed her grasp on his cheeks and pouted, "Mama said I can't have coffee yet... I'm too young... Am I still not allowed to drink it?" She asked with puppy eyes.

The boy don't know if this was just a mind game or she really just want to try the drink and feed her curiosity.

But her puppy eyes makes it hard for him to decline.

"It's alright to drink it... this is just a dream anyways." Five shrugged with a smirk while standing up from crouching.

If either of the two was correct, her mother won't scold him anyways.
