Tears of Joy

Elise, Alice and Max has now been back for a few hours now and everyone was playing card games together, until Asuka had gotten up and left, with Elise following her out to the front of the dorms to see what was up with her, while holding something in his hand as well, which he attempted to hide from her. "Hey Asuka what's up?" Elise asked, not gaining any response so he just handed her what was in his hand, a wrapped present and card. "You remembered my birthday?" Asuka asked a tear forming in her eye which she wiped away. "Yes I did, and we all pitched in and got you this, well Alice got it you we just pitched in." Elise said as Asuka read through the card and started to open the present reviling a necklace with a small locket on it, which caused her to start to cry as it was the locket she had wanted back when she was at the tribe so that she could put a picture of her and her mother in it, Elise realises the tears and instantly engulfed her in a hug, but that hug was cut short before he could say anything as her farther, Terrumi Rhodes, was currently standing a few feet away from them, however Elise didn't realised the person stood behind them. "What are you doing here Terrumi?" Elise asked, causing Asuka to turn around and see him stood there in front of her, then she went and stood behind Elise. "I'm, I'm actually here to see the two of you and apologise for what I did, I screwed up, I screwed up big time and I know I did and if after today you two never want to see me again then that's fine but I just wanted to see you both one more time and get to apologise." Terry said while mainly looking between his daughter and the ground. "And I wanted to say happy birthday to Asuka." Asuka just looked at him quickly then back at the ground. "Also to bring someone back to you Elise." Elise just stared at him confused as hell, but eventually he was in tears instead as Charlotte stepped out from behind Terry, who was also in tears. "Char is that actually you?" Elise just about managed to asked. "Yes it is, it's me Elise, it's really me." Her bright silver eyes where as still beautiful as always, and shined like a gemstone as opposed to his dark silver eyes which shined more like a star, her long flowing her which looked to have been bleached since the last time he saw her, as it was now blonde with slight remains of her light purple hair. Not waisting any more time they just hugged each other crying tears of joy the whole time as they where finally reunited. "Man Elise you really have grown haven't you?" Charlotte jokingly asked to her dark purple haired younger brother who didn't seem like the younger brother anymore due to the heigh difference between the two with Charlotte standing at 5ft 8, and Elise at 6ft. "Yeah well I had to, if I didn't I wouldn't be stood here right now, though I'm confused as to how your stood here that bastard Robert said you where dead, and that necromancer brought you back and made me kill you." Elise said getting really quiet with that last part while looking away from Char. "First off language, second of no I didn't die I got shot but ended out encased in ice for about 8 months if my math is right, third you ran into that crazy scientist?" Charlotte asked. "That's a long story." Elise stated. "Well I'm not going anywhere." Charlotte said with a smile. "Well then come on in cos you will need to meet everyone, and be caught up to speed with everything that's going on, oh and before I forget Terrumi, thanks and I forgive you." Elise said as he started to lead his sister into the dorms. "You coming Asuka?" Elise asked. "Yeah, I just, I'm sorry for leaving dad, but I'm not coming back and I don't fully forgive you, but I want to." Asuka said as she started to head back into the dorms. "Well you guys know what to do when you wanna find me, and even if you guys don't accept it, you are always gonna be a part of the family and tribe." Terrumi said as he turned to leave. "Quick question though Elise, why do your eyes look blue?" Charlotte asked. "I'll explain in a minute let's just get you introduced to everyone."
