Author Notes: Thank you so much for reviews. It made me happy to see them. On with the story. I apologizes for any error in this chapter. Enjoy.

"WHAT!" Yamato shouted causing Tusk to look around.

"Will you keep your voice down?" Tusk put a finger to his mouth, shushing his friend.

"Is there a problem sir?" the driver looked back at the guys and asked.

Tusk shook his head and slightly smiled. "It's nothing, thank you".

The driver went back to his driving, rolling the window behind him up. Yamato and Tusk were dressed in black suits and were in the limo heading to the location of their assignment. Tusk had told Yamato about his situation that left Yamato in shock.

"Let me get this straight," Yamato looked over at Tusk "You send photos of me to the girl you chat online instead of your own photos?"

Tusk nodded.

"And you never told her the truth about it?"

"Apparently, no," Tusk sighed "I'm sorry, I didn't tell you or ask your permission". He apologised.

"Not that I mind, but why did you use my photos instead of yours?" Yamato asked with curiosity.

"I felt insecure, but you don't. I see girls surrounding you wanting to ask you out but you turn them down for some reason I don't know". Tusk explained.

"Well," Yamato folded his arms and slightly chuckles, "Maybe, because I'm not ready for a relationship".

"Or maybe because you haven't found the right girl," Tusk teased and Yamato slightly glares at him before smiling.

"You're probably right," Yamato agreed and pointed his finger at Tusk, "But, we weren't talking about me so don't try to change the subject from you to me and beside you never explain why you send her photos of me".

Tusk swatted Yamato's hand away from his face. "I was hesitating and unsure to show my photo. You know how I am. Plus, I didn't have a good photo of myself during that time when she asks to see a photo of me".

"I see," Yamato looked ahead and nodded with understanding.

Silences ensue between them. Both of them were thinking to themselves. Tusk was looking at Yamato debating whether to ask his friend the question that he has been wanting to bring up since he told Yamato the whole situation.

Back in the Apartment

Amu was pacing back and forth still in shock from what Sela had told her. "Wait, are you saying that you send my photos to him instead of yours?" She asked, making sure she was hearing it right.

"Yes," Sela buried her face in her hands. "I'm sorry for not telling you". She apologised.

"Idiot!" Leo yelled, slamming his hand on the table startling Sela and Amu. "Shame on you for doing this to poor Amu!"

"Leo! Stop that!" Amu hit him in the arm and sat down in front of Sela and beside Leo. "You're scaring her and me".

"Sorry," Leo looked over at Amu and quickly apologizes.

"So, all the photos he has are of me, right?" Amu asked Sela again to make sure.

Sela nodded. "I was nervous and shy that day when he asked to see a picture of me. When I was looking for a photo, I found a good one of you. I hope you're not upset".

Amu sighed "I should be, but I'm not. I can understand why you did that," She put her elbows on the table and placed her head in the palm of her hands. "How are you supposed to meet him when he arrived in town?"
