Got this idea from Robin's blue meteor outfit, which can be found in the "Robin's Millenium Idol illustation" book

On Penacony...

"Come on, Dan Heng! Come on!" March insisted eagerly to her friend, tugging on his sleeve like a child. The pink haired girl was pulling her friend to the variety of shops, restaurants, and other stops that this colorful and eccentric planet had to offer. "Alright, alright! Just don't drag me around so much, March." The stoic black haired man sighed with exhaustion, having no energy to stay patient with his energetic partner.

Himeko chuckled an amusingly while Caelus shook his head with a smile. Welt just shook his head, sighing in dissappintment at March's childlike behavior. No one can blame Dan Heng, though. He had just landed the final blow at their last battle. All he wanted was to rest, but along the way, March had the idea to explore Penacony to help relax her friend. Honestly, everyone needed a break after that last fight.

"Hey, look! I think I see a bakery over there! Come on, Dan Heng! I bet you must be starving after that fight!" March mentioned, dragging him over with all her might. "March. Remind me how you are not tired from that last fight?" Her dragon friend asked tiredly, yet amazed by how much energy she somehow maintained. "That's March for ya, Dan Heng. Always the one with a lot of energy packed in her." Caelus commented, entering the place and greeted by a glass case with all kinds of desserts and sweets displayed on it.

"You know when it's the only time your energy is down, March?" Caelus brought up, grinning at the ice welding archer as she looked at him and titled her head. Unknown to them, a girl with perwinkle hair glanced her deep emerald green eyes when she heard their voices enter the bakery.

"No. When is my energy down?" The girl asked, already feeling like she was not gonna like the answer. "When we're in trouble and you can't come up with a backup plan." The silver haired trailblazer answered, and March looked at him, shocked before puffing her cheeks in fustration. "How many times are we gonna bring that up?! I'm working on it!" She exclaimed fustratedly and peeved, earning some amused chuckles and laughter from her friends. Even Dan Heng was smiling, trying to hold his laughter back.

The green eyed girl smiled a little and let a small giggle slip from her lips. Her eyes widened, covering her mouth and glancing back at the group, hoping they had noticed. Someone did.

Caelus heard a small giggle that he didn't recognize and glanced at her. His eyes grew big when he recognized her. Despite the white hoodie and sleek black gym pants, he recognized only one person with little wings sticking from the side of their hair.

"Robin?" He walked away from the group with eyes brightening at seeing the music star here. It was rare to see her in public. Not to mention, she hadn't been seen since that last battle. Caelus assumed it was probably to help her brother after everything that happened.

"Caelus. Hi." She greeted him softly, waving a hand as he approached. "Hey, Robin. It's been a while. How are you? How's your brother?" He asked her, hoping he wouldn't upset her or anything. Her little wings on he head lowered down when she felt a tinge of guilt in her heart.

When the trailblazer and the express came, it was supposed to be a vacation for them. Not be dragged into the chaos of the Family and Penacony's situation. She felt awful about it. And yet, he somehow had the heart to talk to her and ask how she and Sunday were doing. It meant a lot to her.

"I'm doing well. Thank you for asking, Caelus. As for my brother, he is alright, I suppose. He is taking the time to reflect on what he did and all that has happened. It hasn't been easy, but he is determined to fix his errors." the singer explained, her eyes glancing down sadly as she re alled everything that happened, that guilt once again pulling at her heart.

Caelus stared at her softly, feeling sorry for her. Sunday's betrayal did come as a shock to everyone, but maybe even more for his sister. Caelus didn't know what it was like to have a sibling but he considered a lot of his friends as his siblings. They were the closest thing he had to a family.

"Well, if you see Sunday, tell him I hope he is doing alright." Caelus said genuinely, hoping that just by saying it would help her a little bit. Robin glanced up at him, eyes slightly widening at him. But her green eyes shined happily, let a very loving smile show on her face. She didn't expect him to somehow look past all that happened in Penacony, but it made her happy to see him talking and checking on her.

"Thank you, Caelus. I will." She assured him, feeling her heart flutter at his warm smile. "Hey, Caelus! Come here and pick something!" The two turned their heads to March's voice calling out.

"I should get going. If my fans learn I'm here, things can be chaotic. Bye, Caelus." Robin told him, her emerald eyes gleaming and her little wings flapping happily before she walked out of the bakery. The silver haired man smiled at her, feeling relieved to see she was alright. "I'm coming March." He responded casually, making his way over to his friends.
