"I was meaning to ask, was the trip a success?" Dante asks, looking at the three of us.

Dante is standing directly in front of Aphmau. Garroth is on her left, and I'm on her right.

"Unfortunately not. The island we visited seemed familiar to me but..." She pauses for a moment, "It didn't jog my memories or anything. I still have no idea who I truly once was."

"The memories will return to you." Garroth states.

"We just have to keep trying." I say, sympathizing with Aphmau, wishing I could help more.

"All I know is... You guys are so well known throughout the regions, people keep trying to move to Phoenix Drop." Dante explains, "We're more popular than O'Khasis now. That's saying something."

"Haha! Right." Aphmau laughs.

"I miss when it was just a small village and everyone hated me..." I groan, leading Aphmau to giggle a bit more.

"I never thought I'd see the day." Garroth says, glancing at me.

"Don't you three worry about anything for the party. Now if you'll excuse me, Kawaii~Chan is going to kill me if I'm not back in time to finish helping. See you soon!" Dante says, heading off towards his home.

"See you, Dante!" Aphmau replies.

"I wonder if Nekoette and Dmitri will be here for the party... I know that they're at the academy... But it would be nice." I mutter, thinking about the friends I've made in my short time here. So much has happened... Not all good... But none the less... I finally found a home where I feel like I belong.

"Anna? Hello?" Garroth's voice calls out to me.

I look up to see Aphmau and Garroth are now facing me. "Hm? Sorry... Uh..."

"Are you alright?" Aphmau asks, with concern.

"Uh, yeah! I was just thinking about something." I smile, "What were you saying?"

"Aphmau was asking if we think these journeys are worth it?" Garroth replies.

"Well... Nothing has come of them yet... But I can tell you're getting close."

"They are getting tiring... But the girl seem to enjoy them." Garroth adds.

"True. It's good for them. But still, these trips make we wonder." Aphmau says, before getting interrupted.

"HEY! YOU GUYS!!" A voice calls in a voice that makes me infuriated.

"That's sounds like..." Aphmau turns to face a man who has recently gotten very close to us, purely as an ego boost. Brendon.

"If it isn't M'lady Irene and Menphia... And Sir Garroth." 

"Ugh... Kill me now." I mutter to Garroth, while Aphmau laughs.

"Brendon! So good to see you!" Aphmau smiles, "Now what do you want? You're never this formal, unless you want something."

"Hey now, come on. Can't a guy get a popularity boost with the visiting villagers to show he's SO CLOSE WITH LADY APHMAU!" Brendon yells, attracting the villagers attention. "YEAH! THAT'S RIGHT! SHE'S MY FRIEND. I'M SHAKING HER HAND. I KNEW HER BEFORE SHE WAS POPULAR."

The Irene worshippers begin freaking out, but the werewolf pups snarl at him, annoyed he's so close to me. I glare at them briefly and they calm down... A bit.

"BRENDON! What are you doing?!" Aphmau whispers, annoyed.

"I want them to think I'm cool." Brendon states.
