A Past Revealed

One- Memories of The Few

Aphmau's POV

I sighed, and my hand grazed over the purple backpack I had found underneath my bed. It was the same one I had brought with me when I found Phoenix Drop, the one with all my stuff I had brought from home...

I stood up and slung the bag onto my shoulder. At least it's night. Perfect time to go into the forest, relive old memories, then bury them.

I opened the door and breathed the night air deeply. As I went out next to the playground, I decided to go to the right. I stopped at the edge of the forest next to the treehouse and opened the bag.

There was a slight rustling in the bushes and I think I heard a whisper but a pig walked by a second later so I dismissed it.

Within my bag I pulled a book. A scrapbook, with the words 'The Few Through the Years' written in golden lettering on the brown leather book. I smiled and flicked through the pages, laughing as I got to one picture.

It was of me, Steven, and Sly. Sly was covered in goop, and his hand was clenched in a fist, half drawn back as if about to punch Steven, who was shielding his head with his arms, a look of pure fake terror on his face. I was rolling in the background, absolutely dying of laughter. We were about twelve.

I set the book next to me, still open to that page. The next thing I pulled out was a SMH pin. I set that on the book, and dug in my backpack for something else.

Next I found a box, about the size of a shoebox. Opening it, I found a bunch of memory crystals and an old ring Sly had given me.

I heard what sounded like Garroth quietly gasp then a murmur, which could only be Laurence, behind me. So they were watching me? Fine. I'll play their game.

I picked up a memory crystal and activated it, absently picking up my ring and putting it on my left ring finger as I did so.

~Memory~

"Jess, you said we could go to the promise lands!" Sly complained.

I opened up chat.

Jess: no WONDER he can't keep a WOMAN!

"Jess," Sly rolled his eyes.

I put my hands up defensively. "What? That was golden! Did no one catch that?"

"I did." Sly crossed his arms.

~End Memory~

I laughed and put the crystal down and picked up another one.

~Memory~

I begin laughing.

"Why are you laughing?" Sly, still grumpy about the whole Flippy calling me 'mommy' thing, asked.

"Cause we're married now." I grinned.

"Jess, I'm sorry, but I need to be honest with you. The only reason I married you was for my visa." Sly grinned at me to show he didn't mean it and passed me a ring.

Katz started laughing. "Woooooooow." I said, drawing out the 'o'. "You only wanted your visa to Asgard, daaaaang." I chuckled and gave him a ring also. Questions ran through my mind. Was this an official marriage? An engagement? I think it's official due to the whole Priest arranging marriage thing.
