As soon as they reached her apartment,she let her body rest on her grey sofa.Billy stood akwardly infront of her,as if waiting to be ordered around.Her lips pulled up slightly in amusement. "You can sit down Billy.Dont be so uptight,relax."She teased the guy.

He gave her a little bow before opting to seat next to her.A good length apart.Still Estella felt his body heat raidiating off from him.Billy looked straight ahead,refusing any eye contact.Not like Estella mined at all,peace and quiet was what she was yearning for.All the events of today really needed her to take a good rest.

"Shall we watch some t.v?"She asked,looking at Billy.The lad finally faced her.His face morphed into a confused expression."T.v?"He wondered.The word sounded extremely weird on his foreign tongue.

"Yeah,wanna watch Strictly?The finals have sta-," She paused,palming her face."Y'all don't have televisions,right?"

Billy slowly nodded,still confused.

Estella took in a deep breath before starting to explain the magic behind a black box with people inside.

Billy listened attentively.He couldn't help but watch his queen closely, admiring how smart she is.He thanked the goddess silently.

At this point he wasn't even listening.His eyes averted to her lips,that were in a smile,making him smile.Only when Estella stopped talking did Billy look at her.He blushed, realizing he'd been caught staring.

"You get it now?"She asked, pointing to the black box that was carrying by a beige wooden stand."Oh yes."He lied and faced away from her.

"Good,I need to watch me some strictly."She stood up and reached for a black object.After a few buttons pushed,the black box lit up.Billy suppressed a gasp,afraid that Estella would realise he wasn't listening.

His eyes lit up as he saw the box reveal people dancing in beautiful gowns and suits.
"Wow.."The words flew right out of his mouth.He had never seen anything like this."I know right?Ellie has sick moves."Estella giggled.

Billy dared to look at her again.A weird feeling engulfed his stomach as he looked at her hum along to a song the people in the box were moving to.

The music stopped and applauds anwed.Billy was about to look away but was to slow,making Estella catch him staring.

The second time tonight.

He cleared his throat."Sorry."He apologized,feeling his palms suddenly heat up.

"It's okay ,you are just doing your job."She said before sighing."Scott would kill you if I ran away."She joked and giggled at her own joke."But I promise I won't.You see,my mother used to tell me stories about Alora as a child.But she said it was just made up.Something about a young girl accidentally falling into a portal and landing in Alora..She was then found by The King and they fell in love.I think it's the main reason I'm kind of wanting to beilive you guys.Although its a little different from what I'm experiencing but still what a coincidence that the names are the same right?"

He slowly nodded,taking in the information.It was really a coincidence he thought.

"Are you close with your mother?"He asked.Incase she would start missing her and their mission would come to a waste.Estella was silent for a moment before speaking up.

"Yes we were.."She smiled."She passed on when I was 15." Billy frowned.What a young age to loose a guardian."And your father?" He asked,with hope filled in his words.She shook his head,biting her pink lips.It took everything in him not to look at them."My parents divorced.I don't know where he is."She admitted.

There was akward silence between them.He didn't know how she felt becuase he still had his guardians in his life.

Without thinking, Billy akwardly wrapped his arms around her,trying to comfort the lady.It uncommon to show affection in Alora,they didn't need to because no one showed weakness.

She hugged him back and sighed against his chest.They shared the embrace for quite sometime before Estella let go."Never in my life would I have thought an alein would cheer me up."She laughed.

'she cheered up because of me.'He thought proudly.

"Okay."Estella clapped her hands."Back to strictly." Her focus went back to the screen and Billy decided it was time to stop staring at her.He wouldn't want her thinking Sylvans are creepy and back out of this request.

After a few hours of watching television,Billy started showing signs of tiredness.Estella took it upon herself to get him to bed.She lead him through the hallway and into her bed room.

She left Billy to take a shower and went to make them a small dinner.If it was going to be her last day on Earth,ramen is definately the last meal she would have.

It was simple yet tasty.

Estella started chopping vegetables and prepared a pot of broths.She adds noodles,letting them cool before starting to assemble her bowl of ramen.The smells of the food whilst cooking made her go faster because her stomach was yearning to be fed.

In a few minutes she was done and sat down to start munching.Billy- rather - Astrid walked into the kitchen.In his alein form,he gave Estella a smile before walking towards her.

"Mind if I join,queen?" She tried to ignore the blush on her cheeks as she motioned on the stool next to her.In his alein form,Astrid was much bigger and more muscled.She guessed his height to be over 6'5.It was intemidating because she was used to being taller than everyone she knows.Six foot is a rare height for girls but it made her feel somehow powerful.

"What is this?"Astrid asked,looking at the steaming bowl.Estella explained the meal and eventually Astrid decided to eat.She laughed at the look on his face when he took his first bite."Wow,this is fantastic!"He exclaimed.She let out a small laugh and thanked him.

They ate in silence and once they were done she looked at the red beast.

"So,sleeping arrangements."
