"What was I doing" Travis said frustrated. The party had ended and Travis went back to his and Dante's house.

"I felt so different around him! I stuttered for Irene sake!" He shouted. The last hour of the party stumped Travis beyond belief, seeing as he hadn't actually fallen in love since high school when he liked Katelyn. And then fell in love with Katelyn again. Years later. But after Travis and Katelyn decided to stay friends for a while, Travis sorta lost interest. And now, the party, and Zane. Travis just couldn't wrap his head around the way he felt talking to him.

"But I can't fall in love with Zane after I just got my words-" Travis stopped himself from talking. Everything suddenly started falling into place, the words made sense now, as well as how Travis was feeling. 'Go away' fit Zane's way of talking.

Travis didn't really know how to react. He should be really happy right? After all that time waiting and wondering who he would be with, he should be ecstatic that he knows.

But, what if it wasn't Zane? This could have just been a shot in the dark.

Maggie: well, this is quite a predicament
Travis: well you made it up! You wanted this to happen.
Maggie: yep~

"Ok! If this is how life is going to be then I will figure this out in a smart way!" Travis proclaimed, climbing under the covers on his bed.

"Hey Aph? You home?" Travis shouted knocking on Aphmau's door the very next day.

"One minute!" The deep mail voice of Aaron called. The door opened to reveal Aaron, in his casual wear with Aphmau, still in her pjs being carried by her lovely mail love.

"Fiv mor mins" she mumbled almost as if she was drunk. Travis, on the other hand was squealing at the two. "I ship it like FedEx!" He squeaked.

Zane: so misspelling the word 'male' was just a setup for this joke
Maggie: yep!
Zane: why did I have to be apart of this.
Maggie: because FedEx

"Come on in Travis" Aaron said stepping out of the door. Travis walked inside and sat on the couch with Aaron (and Aph still being carried by Aaron).

"So, what brings you here?" Travis looked down at his hands nervously.

"W-Well... I- uh wanted to talk to Aph about Z-Zane" Travis stuttered. As soon as Travis said Zane, Aphmau immediately sat up.

"YES! GIVE ME YOUR FEELS" she shouted happily, getting really close to Travis.

"I don't think I was to give my feels anymore" Travis said backing up cautiously. Luckily Aaron was still with them and pulled her back.

"Ok, ok. I'm ok now, what is troubling you child." Aphmau said sounding like a counsellor or fortune teller. Travis was going to tell her everything but kept stumbling over his words. He sighed and thought of a better way to tell Aph.

"Ok, it's easier if I just show you. Don't be weirded out" Travis pulled the collar of his shirt down far enough to see the black words. Aphmau gasped and started ecstatically asking questions to the troubled boy. For the next 30 minutes Travis explained when he got the words, what happened with him and Zane, and how he felt to Aph and Aaron (who was strangely interested).

"So, you think it's possible that Zane is your soulmate?" Aphmau Queried. "But I thought you were into girls" she said, obviously referring to Katelyn. Travis quickly followed on.

"Yeah, I thought that too until I started checking out guys and I might have dated a [Sexy Anime Waifu Cardboard cut out of Reenu Keeves-Senpai~San from Mew Mew Sailor Love Live Madoka Ball Z] at some point" Travis said whispering the last part.

"What was that?" Aaron asked with a grin.

"Nothing! What I'm trying to say is I'm pan."

"Like a pancake?" Aph said hopefully. Both Travis and Aaron face palmed. 

"No, As in pansexual" Travis said with a big sigh.

"Yes, yes of course. I knew that." Aph said quickly. Aphmau's expression changed to a conflicted one as a thought appeared in her head.

"Does anyone know Zane's sexuality?"

"I was hoping you knew that..." Travis responded, looking down. It was no surprise that Zane would keep something like that secret, even to his best friend. As Aph though about it more a bigger smile grew on her face.

"I'v never really seen Zane take any interest in girls in a sense of love , also he's naturally nervous around most people because He doesn't have friends. So there's really no way of knowing who he likes! You still have a chance!" This was music to Travis's ears.

"Then it's decided! As of tomorrow I will try to hang out with Zane!" Then everyone cheered and Aaron made a cake with his awesome cooking skills.

Yeah, yeah, I know, that ending was amazing but don't give me an Oscar yet. I still have more chapters of this book to write.

Well, it's been a while since I wrote a book related to Aphmau. I'm glad I took the other one down. It was literally shit. Bad memories that should never be brought up ever again.
