Witout you i'm Lost, but i will cher you on

Once again... their longtime friend is there in front of them, yet she seems so far away. Why?

How long had they felt this way?

Since Kipo had returned from her first adventure outside the burrosw, she had changed, she seemed the same, cheerful and lively as always, but more courageous, more enterprising. And definitely more beautiful than ever. Especially when they saw her transform her arm into that of a mute.

Ah ... Asher and their obsession with mutes.

It was a good thing, but ... now Kipo had become the hero of the mutes, H.M.U.F.A.'s leader and she was destined to do great things ... And Asher was still there, to take care of Pierre, wash dishes, to fix things and... their have done absolutely nothing useful for Kipo.

Not even now, when the first Human Mute Ultimate Friendship Alliance's meeting resolve into a fiasco, Asher have done or said anything. Kipo is there talking to her father and her friends from the surface, holding hands, discussing what to do with it and Asher is there at the door, looking at all them with some jealousy and desire to go there. But they knows they wouldn't fit.

<What are they looking at?> Asks a voice from behind.

Asher jumps almost slamming against the door and sees Dahlia, their twin sister watching them as she dodges a Newton Wolf and a Timbercats who beat each other.

< Maybe it's best to talk about it in the bedroom.> Asher suggests.

<Yeah definitely.>

After arriving in their room, Asher sits on the window frame and starts looking at the forests that for months had become their refuge, while Dahlia sits in the hammock where she slept to watch her sibling.

<Asher seriously, you've been looking weird for a while now. My twin instinct tells me that you have something in your head, and as usual you bottle it so that no one can see it. >

<It's nothing. > it's obvious that they're lying. <it's just ... > they sighs, resting thier head on the wood. <What are we doing here Dahlia? Can you tell me? > The sister is clearly confused but answers patiently

<Help Kipo form a strong alliance with the mutes.>

< As she goes out there, looking for a mad scientist who wants to destroy her and us.> Something they had in their stomach for months and finally got out. <Admit it Dahlia, we haven't done anything to help her. > the girl looks surprised at her twin, while sadly lowers her eyes. < I didn't do anything to help her. >

<Asher this is not true.>

< Oh yeah? You know that Dave this morning when I brought him breakfast in the dining room, he mistook me for you? Yet I just had Molly cut my hair ! It's not annoying the fact that he mistook me, but he seemed like he didn't know I had a twin and he said "I'm sorry but you know, we saw eachother so little that I almost forgot you existed."> they grunt clutching their knees to their sore chest. Before seeing their sister with a hint of concern <Am I really that dull?.>

<What? > Dahlia asks as she approaches and strokes their knee. <No! Don't think about Dave, you know he's not as smart as he wants to prove. You are my twin and you are very special. Both for me and for Kipo.> Asher looks at her and blushes asking <For Kipo too? Do you really think so? > Dahlia looks at their with a knowing smile

< Of course, she wouldn't be your crush for 3 years if she was'nt > Asher lowers their legs, blushing until their face turns red and exclaims <Nghh... Dahlia !> making their sister laugh.
