Some Live, Some Die

Chapter Twenty One: My Mistakes are just Your New Problems

  "Master, the way is blocked from an earthquake that has happened recently. I suggest that you take another route.", Fi said while examining the once passable corridor. Legend was trying to find a way to move the rubble out of the way while Sky was just staring in shock.

"Why did Past run off in the first place anyway?", Legend asked. "Did something scare him or something?"

"It was my fault that he ran off..", said Sky. "I hurt him and he ran off in fear of me. He could be DEAD right now for all I know."

Legend looked a little shocked by what Sky just uttered. "It's my fault.... Why is it always my doing that makes everything go down?!"

Fi titled her head and put her "arms" around Sky's shoulders in an effort to comfort him. "Do not worry, Master. Your friend, Master Past, should be fine. I do not detect any recent passing of a spirit."

"Fi is right, Sky.", said Legend. "Don't worry. Past should be fine."

"Y...Yeah....He'll be fine...JUST FINE...", Sky said while trembling.

"Just cheer up okay?", Legend said before kissing Sky on his forehead. Sky nodded slowly, still trembling in fear of what he had just done to his friend.

Goddess... What have I done?! He's probably crying all alone right now! It's my damn fault for rejecting him., Sky thought while trying not to drown in the guilt of Past being alone.

Meanwhile, Past was talking to Ravio and Worlds.

"I'm glad to see you and Mr. Past getting along, Mr. Hero.", said Ravio warmly.

"Yeah.. I'm glad about it too.", Worlds responded. "Hey, Past", how'd you get separated from your friend?"

Past looked a little surprised from the question and immediately looked in the other direction. "Huh? Oh... I don't really wanna talk about it right now..."

"Aw... It's okay! You can tell us, Mr. Past!", said Ravio.

"No... Too personal."

"Personal? What happened?!", Asked Worlds.

"I... Oh God... this is so embarrassing."

"Just tell us, Mr. Past."

"I... I had my heart broken..."

"Oh... OHH....", Ravio sounded.

"See? It's a stupid reason to run from them! Now I can't even go back."

"That's not stupid at all... It's not your fault, Past.", said Worlds.

"Ha ha! Don't worry, Mr. Past! I'm sure he/she will still want to be your friend.", Ravio added on.

"We'll help you find your guy/gal. He/she will want to still be friends, okay?", said Worlds.

I mouth-raped Sky though... How can he forgive me for that stupid act?, Past thought while he scratched his head, messing up his pink hair a little. Worlds yawned and stretched and glanced at the bracelet on Ravio's wrist. Ravio saw and smiled warmly, taking the bracelet off and giving it to Worlds. Worlds slipped it onto his wrist and looked at Past.

"...I'm tired, guys...", Past complained.

"Yeah. Me too,", Worlds replied.

"Wanna find a place to sleep?", asked Ravio.
