Aphmau MyStreet: Searching Hearts

Ep 6: Speak To Me, Aaron

Everyone was hanging out in Aphmau's house waiting for Melissa to come back with Aphmau and Travis. Kawaii-Chan was finishing up her confetti cake and Garroth was pacing back and forth.

"Ohhh, they're going to be here any minute!" Garroth squealed.

"It really hasn't been that long since we've last seen them, but it feels like an eternity." Katelyn said, trying to face call Lucinda, "Ugh. How do you set up a face time on this thing?"

"Here, let me see." Zane said, taking the laptop from her. After a few minutes, Lucinda's voice was heard, "Hey! Can anyone hear me?"

"Lucinda!" Everyone said, excitedly.

"Thanks, Zane!" Katelyn said.

"It's whatever." Zane said, "It's good to see you again, Lucinda."

"It's great to see you all, too!" Lucinda said.

"How's magic school going?" Katelyn asked.

"It's going great! The uniforms are stylish, the food is great, and the teachers are really helpful and nice."

"Kawaii-Chan is glad that you're learning magic again." Kawaii-Chan said, stepping away from the cake.

"Hey Garroth, how's it going as a werewolf?" Lucinda asked.

"It's actually not so bad." Garroth said, "The best part is that you can smell EVERYTHING!"

"Kawaii-Chan has had to hide so many sweets because of it!" Kawaii-Chan said, glaring at Garroth. 

"Hey! When you smell something delicious, you go to it."

Lucinda laughed, "Well it's good to see that nothing changed. Where's Aaron?"

"Oh, he's just outside. I'll let him know you're here." Zane said, going to the backyard. A few moments later, Zane came back with Aaron. 

"Aaron?" Lucinda asked when she saw him, "It's so great to see you, how've you been?"

"I-I'm sorry, who are you?" Aaron asked.

Lucinda let out a deep sigh, "I'm Lucinda. We're friends. I'm a witch. I recently lost my powers, so I've gone to learn again. Which is why I'm behind a computer screen and not really there."

"Oh." Aaron said, "Well, I hope you get you're magic back." 

"Thanks. Also, Aaron, your vision is coming back slowly."

"R-r-really?!" Aaron asked, "Why didn't any of you tell me this?"

"I thought Melissa told you."

"She didn't. I guess she forgot. But thanks for telling me."

A few moments later, the door swung open and Melissa stepped inside, "Everyone, there's someone here who'd like to see us." She stepped aside, revealing Aphmau and Travis with broad smiles on their faces.

"Hi guys." They said.

No one hesitated to rush up to their friends and squeeze the crap out of them with tears in their eyes. 

"It's so great to see you both again." Kim said, choking back tears. 

When they pulled away, everyone had their turn giving Aphmau and Travis an individual hug. 

Travis hesitated slightly when he was about to hug Katelyn, but she threw her arms around Travis with tears in her eyes. This caught him off guard for a moment, but he hugged her back. 

Melissa pulled Aphmau aside and asked, "Are you sure you're ready for this?"

Aphmau took a deep breath, "I'm ready."

Melissa nodded and walked up to Aaron, "Hey, Aaron. There's someone you need to meet."

"H-Hi, FC." Aphmau did her best to keep her composure. She wanted to throw her arms around him and kiss him and squeeze the living life out of him. But she knew that he didn't remember her that way. 

"Um, I-I'm really sorry to ask, but who are you?" Aaron asked. Just hearing those words broke Aphmau's heart. 

"I-It's me. Shu."

"S-Shu?! Melissa, how did you find her?!"

"It wasn't so hard." Melissa said, "I just had to do some more digging."

"It's great to finally meet you! I'm sorry that you have to see me like this. It's a long story."

"I-It's alright." Aphmau said, "I'm just looking forward to helping you out with your memories."

Aphmau hugged Aaron tightly, a small tear falling from her face, 'Aaron, please come back to me.' She thought. She broke the hug and said out loud, "We have a lot to catch up on."

"Hey, Aph. Over here." Lucinda called out.

Aphmau walked over to where Lucinda was on the laptop, "Hey, Lucinda!" She said.

"It's really good to see you guys again. I wish I could be there in person, but this isn't a good time for me to leave the school."

"That's ok. We'll be in touch though." Travis said.

"Yeah." Lucinda said, "I gotta go, but we'll talk soon. Bye!"

"Bye!" Everyone called out before Lucinda hung up.

"Kawaii-Chan made a confetti cake for everyone!" Kawaii-Chan said.

"Oh, that sounds delicious!" Travis said.

"We decided to have a movie night with pizza and cake." Kim said.

"These foods sound really strange. Are you sure that they're good?" Ghost said.

"Oh, hush. If you're so unsure just let me take over."

"I can stick around if you guys want me to." Aaron said.

"We would love it if you stayed, Aaron." Melissa said, "The whole point of this is to welcome Shu and Travis home."

"Shu?" Garroth asked.

"I'll explain later."

"Um... alright." Aaron said, "Sounds like fun."

They spent the rest of the night eating Kawaii-Chan's cake and more pizza than anyone should eat, watching their favorite movies, laughing, and a little bit of catching up. Every now and then, Aphmau looked over at Aaron. She knew that she needed to be Shu for a while, but what if that would be all her remembered of her?

Later when everyone went home, Melissa was talking to Aphmau about where she's supposed to stay.

"You can stay with me in the guest room tonight until we can think if a more permanent solution." Melissa suggested.

"That doesn't sound so bad." Aphmau said, "Are you sure you'll be comfortable?"

"We're both girls, Aph. It's not anything I haven't seen before."

"Gah! M-Melissa!"

"I'm kidding! But seriously, it won't be hard to bunk with you."

Aaron walked passed them, "I'm gonna hit the hay for tonight. I'm glad you'll be sticking around, Shu."

"So am I." Aphmau said.

After saying goodnight, Aphmau had a trouble sleeping, 'Aaron. Please remember me.'
