I'm stuck in 1995 as a ghost?! No one can even see me. I'm just watching it all happen in front of my own eyes like I'm watching a movie expect I'M IN IT!
I followed behind Xania to where she could've went. Surprisingly, she stayed in the same room I did when I lived in Luna Corp. Right next to the boss's room.
It would make sense that she would live in the same area as her guardian. I don't think Pentos is married yet because if my calculations are correct.. Xania would be 17 right now and Luna OH WAIT I MEAN AZULI wouldn't even be born yet. Azuli should be 25 in the present time right now.
I opened the door to her room and walked in. She lazily sat on her bed holding the landline phone to her ear. I listened into her conversation.
"My 'dad' won't let me see you. I like you. A lot. So I will go out of my way to meet up with you. Yeah. Yeah. Alright. Miss you, Orion," she said ending the conversation.
Wow, is this what it's like to be in love? Sappy phone conversations and sneaking around? It sounds like a regular mission to me.. oh whatever.
I blinked my eyes and I wasn't in Xania's room anymore. I was suddenly standing next to a dinner table in a restuarant. A burst of laughter came from the table's occupants.
Xania and Orion.
"Ori, you got to try this ice cream. It's awesome," she said holding the ice cream near his face.
"Okay, bring it over here," he said leaning over the table. She brought the ice cream closer to his face and as he was about to take a bite.. she smashed the cone right into his nose.
"Oh what the-"
"O-oh my g-god you have to see your face! Y-you look like an narwhal!" Xania was laughing out loud. They both started laughing together.
They looked really happy together.
She cleaned the ice cream off his face and licked the residue from her fingertips.
I blinked my eyes again and I was no longer in the restuarant with them. Instead the surroundings were a lot of trees and lushful grass. They were on a date in the park now. It might be Central Park.
I was walking right behind them as they strolled through the park. She was wearing high waisted denim shorts and a white crop top with a pair of sneakers. Orion was wearing a blue shirt and a pair of gray shorts.
They were holding hands, interlocking their fingers. They kept bumping into each other and just having fun.
Xania looks so happy. Also, I can tell by the way Orion looks into her eyes..he won't ever leave her.
It was love.
At one point they stumbled upon a stream and made a contest on who can skip their stone the most times.
"I am the master of skipping stones. You know what my middle name is?" Orion jokingly asked holding a flat stone.
"Oh yeah, what is it Ori? Is it Notthemasterofskippingstones?" she teased while looking on the ground for stones.
"On the contrary. My middle name is Xaniaisnotgoingtowin," he shot back while sticking his tongue out.
"Hm, that's a weird middle name," she responded as she found a perfect flat stone.
"Oh? You got a better middle name? What is it?" he bugged her.
She threw the stone on the water and it jumped seven times. She turned around and faced him and smiled while putting a finger to her lips. "It's a secret."
