Psalm 13: We love

1 John 4:19

We love because he first loved us.

Vlad

The date is October 17th, a Sunday. It's been a few weeks since Neutron suddenly announced that we were going to be in a competition I knew nothing about. Honestly, I can't do anything about it. I can't sing, I can't make music. All I can do is just play the drums and other percussion instruments.

I wondered what Vlad is thinking. He looks depressed.

"I do not!"

Be nice. It's my birthday.

Oh yeah. I should explain what happened earlier...

Neutron was smiling this morning. At first I thought that she was in love, but I decided against that because we've been too busy practicing, and I doubt Neutron would've been able to find a guy within the inn's customers.

So I decided to check. It's my birthday! So.... I jumped her from behind and yelled, "Happy birthday!"

Of course, everyone went and congratulated her, but, for some reason, she slapped my arm and said, "Baka! (Idiot) I wanted to say it myself!"

Anyway, since it's Sunday, everyone suggested a break. "Neutron, how about we put on a celebration for your birthday?" Reiji had asked.

Neutron disagreed. "I actually want to go shop."

And of course, everyone had suggested Elsa to go with her. Even I wanted Elsa to go with her. Not that I was getting rid of my sis, but they'll turn to me if she disagrees, since I've been shopping with sis. But Neutron hates me; I don't actually care if I go shopping.

But she said that she had something to do. So they made me do it. Darn you sis. I think I saw her winking. Of course. What is there in this world that she'd want to do anyway?

And so, I'm accompanying Neutron as we went through the streets of Land Forest. Now that I think about it, it doesn't look much different from 21st century Oregon. Except for the fact that there are magic tools being sold.

Speaking of Neutron, she looks really nice today. Her hair is still in pigtails, but she took time to put a little makeup on, and she wore a cute yellow sundress that totally fit her personality. When she wasn't angry at me, that is. Her red headphones dangled around her neck. She's really pretty.

Wonder why girls take time to dress up when all they're doing is going shopping.

Anyway, now that I thought about it, Neutron hasn't yelled at me yet. Even her saying that it was her birthday earlier didn't have the usual 'I despise you' tone. Wonder what's up. But I guess I need to leave a girl alone at times. Maybe she's really mad at me. Whenever sis is really angry, she ignores me.

Yeah, that must be it. I'll leave her alone.

Neutron

Ohmygoshohmygosh, OHMYGOSH! I forgot it's a Sunday; Vlad looks normal for once. He's so handsome! His non dyed, beautiful autumn hair. His leaf green eyes. His-

Wait, focus Neutron. He can read minds!

But he didn't seem to be paying attention. Okay good. Eek! Thank you Elsa, You sly little matchmaker! If you ever fall in love, I'll be sure to hook you and the guy up!

But wait. I was somehow able to take my eyes off wonderful Vlad and saw... AN ICE CREAM TRUCK!!!! Ice cream is so rare nowadays because so many other desserts are popular. How lucky am I!
