Ace
"Coda?"

"Hmm?"

Ace looked up at the boy and felt her heart flutter. They had been walking down the main road between Alfea and Red Fountain for two hours now since the dance ended. Ace could feel herself falling. Something about his dark eyes made her want to hold him close and tell him everything would be okay. He had told her all about it his homelife, or lack thereof, and it just about made her heart bleed. She wanted to help in any way she could.

"I have to go on a mission tomorrow."

"Yeah?" he said, half-listening.

"Would you... want to be my hero?"

He looked at her regretfully, now finally paying attention, and said, "Ace, you know I'm a musician, not a hero."

"I know, but... it would be a great chance to reunite with Piper."

"Ace..."

"Just hear me out," she said hastily. "I know you don't want to go home, but I have a feeling that Piper needs to know why. She won't admit it, but I can tell she feels personally hurt."

"I explained it to her when I left."

"I know, but I could see in her eyes tonight when she saw you that she sees it differently," Ace explained, placing a hand on his shoulder.

He looked down at her hand like it was something foreign and took it from his shoulder, holding it instead in his much larger, musician's hand. Ace felt her face turn red and was thankful that the moonlight paled it out.

"I'll think about it," he finally said after a long silence.

She smiled and they walked back in comfortable silence. He left her at Alfea's gates. She saw Piper waiting on the balcony. Once she went into her dorm, the first thing she saw was Sylvie sitting at the table, flipping through the books Faragonda had given them and arguing into her phone.

"No, Arlo, listen-"

Pause.

"It is not stupid."

Pause.

"You can't just say that about everything."

Pause.

"..."

Pause.

"That's because it's a magic cauldron! Idiot."

She looked up and silently waved as she saw Ace walk in with her high heels in her hands. Jericho flew up to her and started bombarding her with questions.
