The next week flew by. Aether went about his normal school routine. He had gotten to know everyone sitting at his lunch table much better. They all had a lot in common than he first thought. Today however something...happened.

Aether woke up same as usual. He showered and got ready to go to school. He and Gorou were walking to class, they had run into each other in the hallway. 

"So Aether, what are your plans for the weekend?" Gorou asked hoping they could hang out.

> Well I had noticed a pretty big pool on campus and thought I'd get some friends and go swimming. <

"Really!" Gorou gasped excitedly. His tail wagging.

> Did you want to come? <

"Yes yes, if its fine." His eyes light up.

> Okay, is there anyone you want to bring? <

"Yeah, I have 3 other friends I've been meaning to introduce you to. We can meet with them during lunch?" Gorou asked first before making it offical.

> Sure! See you then! <

"Great, meet at the fountain in front of the cafeteria."

Aether nodded as he watched Gorou go off.

{Who else should I invite? Maybe...}

This was all Aether thought about till lunch. He waited at the fountain for a bit waiting for Gorou and his friends. Every time he'd see someone turn the corner he got up. 

{Is he even coming or did he forget?} Aether started to think. Just then he heard voices approaching. He got up since he recognized Gorou's voice among the others.

"Stop whining. I already told him to meet us here!" Gorou reasoned with one of them.

"But I'm hungry..."  The voice spoke back.  Ó╭╮Ò

He couldn't make out much of the rest. Finally Aether saw Gorou with 3 other people. One of which seemed oddly familiar...

"Now then friends! This is Aether!" Gorou introduced Aether first showing off his beauty to the 3 men.

"Wow Gorou! You didn't tell me your little friend here is this cute!" A tall guy went over and ruffled Aether's hair. Aether swatted at his hand.

"Hello Aether. Forgive him he is...difficult. I'm Ayato." The second one introduced himself.

"Oh right. I'm Itto!" He took his hand off Aether's head and pointed to himself smiling.

"Hello Aether, long time no see. its me, Thoma." The third one introduced himself. The others looked to him.

"You know him?" They said to Aether then looked back to Thoma.

"Of course. I grew up with Aether. Until he moved away" Thoma gave Aether a side hug putting his arm on his shoulder.

Aether was still surprised. He didn't recognize Thoma. He changed so much. Once the shock finally set in he gave Thoma a full hug. He almost didn't expect it but hugged Aether back.
