-Food Court Area; Lulu World-

With the tension in the air, they thought to take it easy with lunch. Though Dream had been over at her own table listening to music as Razzle and Dazzle kept her company. Angel on the other hand couldn't help but look over to Dream, recalling what she had said; he had looked at his phone messages, particularly one from his boss Valentino as he sighed, realizing that all things considered... She had been in the same boat as him.

"Hey Angel?" Jaxon said as he approached him, "You okay?"

"I feel like shit---How do you think I'm doing?" Angel said.

Jaxon sighed as he said "I figured you say that." He soon sat across from him, "I noticed you've been eyeing Dream for awhile---Are you bothered by what she said?"

"... I knew the Human World had all sorts of problems---But shit like that---" Angel said before he groaned, "---No kid like her deserves to have that kind of treatment! Of all the things to do that's just---" He soon groaned as he hit his head on the table.

"... Yeah well---If you're lucky they could end up here one day and you can kick their ass then." He said.

"Ya fucking right I will!" He said.

Jaxon soon tapped the table and thought of what to say, "Look, I know it hasn't been that long but we can't know what exactly she went through. I know you said you want to be her friend---And honestly I am proud you're willing to take that step but these things just take time. We just met her—So we can't force this."

Angel groaned, as he angrily sipped his soda that he brought. "... Actually---" Jaxon soon said, "---I wanted to ask you about that. Why did you decide that?"

"What, you saying I can't have friends?"

"What? No, of course not! It's just well---Out of character. I've known you for awhile and I know your Charlie's first Patron of the Hotel but---Up till this morning you've never taken this kind of step. At least---Not since you met me."

Angel sighed as he recalled the polaroid and how happy she looked, "Maybe---It's because---I felt bad for her. But, maybe I'm not cut out to be her friend."

"Hey, don't say that---" He said, "--You're the best friend anyone could ever have. Cherri thinks this and I think so too despite the flaws you have. Sure you may do questionable things but---I think Dream is lucky to have someone like you. If anything I know you'll find a way to fix it."

Angel perked up at this as he looked to Dream again. He soon thought of something,

"Jax---You just gave me an idea!" He said before he gave Jaxon a kiss on the cheek, making him freeze, "Thanks Sweetie Pie~!" He soon stood before he went over to Dream, while Jaxon had been left in a daze.

"... Sweetie Pie?" He couldn't help but say.

"Hey Dream!" Angel said as he startled her.

"Whoa! What?" Dream said as she jumped.

"Come on, I got something I want to show you that you're gonna love~!" Angel said as he took her hand, before he dragged her over before she could get a word in; Razzle and Dazzle didn't even get a chance to follow them.

Unknown to Angel, He avoided a shot that flew on the floor.

"Damn it!" Decimo said as he reloaded.

"DECIMO REALLY?!" Jaxon shouted.

"You forgot about my daily quota, remember?!" Decimo asked as he took the modified Serverhead to get a clip as he reloaded his gun.. "Because of you guys' meddling, I'm Behind!"
