---Aaron---

I woke up to my front door being slammed shut. I looked over and saw Aphmau still sleeping. I smiled and got out of bed and walked to my living room. Garroth was standing in my living room.

"Yes." I said.

"Aphmau isn't in her room. Lily thinks she's been kidnapped. Have you seen her." He said.

"Yes I have. She's here. She said she heard something last night and came over here. She's asleep right now." I said.

"Then were is she." He said.

"Um she's sleeping in my room. She wanted me to stay with her so I did and I just woke up." I said.

"Can you get her up then. She needs to be seen outside so she isn't thought to be kidnapped." He said and I nodded.

"I can g-" I was cut off by Aphmau walking in.

"Morning." She said.

"Aphmau you have to go outside because the village thinks you've been kidnapped." I said.

"Oh yea I probably should have left a note saying I'm fine and I wasn't kidnapped." She said. I smiled at her and walked to my room. I put my armor on and grabbed my sword. I walked back out to see Aphmau on my couch.

"Aaron thanks for letting me stay over." She said.

"Yea it's fine. Just next time at least put a note saying you weren't kidnapped." I said and she nodded.

"Come on we should go." I said and walked out my house and she followed me. I shut my door and she dragged me to the plaza.

"Aphmau~Senpai!" Kawaii~Chan yelled and ran over. She tackled Aphmau in a hug. I laughed as Kawaii~Chan kept hugging squeezing Aphmau.

"Ok Kawaii~Chan I think you're killing her." I said and she let go.

"Sorry." She said.

"Thanks Aaron." Aph said.

"No problem." I said and smiled.

"Oh Aphmau! Where were you." Laurence said.

"I couldn't sleep so I walked over to Aaron's place. He let me stay over for the night." Aph said. Laurence and Kawaii~Chan looked at me.

"What she couldn't sleep so I let her stay at my house." I said.

"Aphmau~Senapi! Is Aphmau~Senpai dating Aaron~Kun." Kawaii~Chan said and Aphmau blushed and I was shocked.

"Kawaii~Chan I'm her guard. It's against guard rules for me to date her." I said.

"Yea and if he ever got a girl like Aphmau I'm positive me and him would be fighting." Laurence said.

"Yea and I would win. I'm stronger than you think Laurence." I said.

"Yea sure." He said.

"Oh you wanna test me." I said.

"Ok would you two stop." Aphmau said.

"Fine. Only for you Lady Aphmau." Laurence said.

"Laurence I don't like formality. I like Aph or Aphmau better." Aph said.

"Oh ok then La.... Aphmau." He said. He pulled Kawaii~Chan away with him. I looked at Aphmau and she was staring at the tree.

"Are looking at the tree again." I said.

"What. Oh yea. It's just I didn't see the tree in my dream yesterday. I saw some guy that has a mask over his mouth and hair covering right eye. His other eye was baby blue. I'm not sure what it meant or who the guy was but I'll find out." She said. Wait!
