Just letting ya know, that picture is what Lexi wears.

~Jessie's P.O.V.~

        When we were outside of the guild, he let go of me and we walked in silence. I don't know where we're going, but that wasn't on my mind right now. How can I not use my magic anymore..? This...has never happened before..

        "Hey Jessie, you alright?" Lexi frowned, making me jump back to reality.

        "Y-yeah, I'm fine," I lied.

        "You thinking about your magic?" Sting asked. I looked at him weirdly.

        "How did you know?"

        "It's what I would be thinking about if this was happening to me," he shrugged. Eh, that would be true.

        "So, where are we going?" I asked.

        "Oh, just a cafe," Sting answered.

        "A cafe?" I haven't been out lately. In fact, I can't remember anything for the past....three months? "Ow.." I winced when my head started pounding. Almost immediately Sting looked worried.

        "You alright? We can go back if you're not feeling well.." he suggested. I smiled weakly. Atleast he's kinder than other "players".

        "Nah, I'm fine, besides we're here," I shrugged, looking up at the sort of small building. The words "Breakfast Cafe" were lit up high on the wall. I could see people sitting down on the small wooden tables, and both the insde and the outside looked just like any normal generic cafe.

        "Shall we?" said Sting, opening the door for me. A small bell chimed when he did, and I couldn't help but giggle a little.

        "Thanks," I grinned and went in, Lexi following me. Sting and Lector then caught up with us.

        "Bonjour madame and monsieur," greeted a waiter. "Table for two I presume?"

        I was about to say "four" when Sting said, "That would be right." I looked at him weirdly but then Lexi winked and she and Lector went outside. Okay, just me and Sting then.. The waiter smiled and showed us to a table with two chairs across from each other. I sat down on one and Sting sat on the other.

        "So, what would you two lovebirds like?" the waiter asked. I slightly blushed at the word "lovebirds". M-me in love with him? I highly think not, but...I feel really safe when I'm with him, but I've only been with him for no more than an hour, so why do I feel like this???

~Sting's P.O.V.~

        "N-no, we just met.." stuttered Jessie. I couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness when she said that, but I can't tell her that I've known her since I was twelve...

        "Yeah, we just met.." I said, hoping she didn't hear the hint of sadness.

        "Oh, sorry, I was just assuming," said the waiter. "Anyways, what would you like?"

        "Just a glass of strawberry lemonade please," Jessie replied.

        "Alright, and for you monsieur?"

        "Just milk please," I replied. He nodded and left just the two of alone. We had visited here a couple times, but she doesn't seem to remember it.

        "So," said Jessie, "what magic do you have?"

        "White Dragon Slayer magic," I replied. Her eyes widened.

        "Oh, another Dragon Slayer," she grinned.

        "Yup," I said.

        Jeez, I never thought it would be so awkward between us, but then again, to her this is like meeting a stranger.

        "So...how did you become a Master at such a young age?" she asked after the silence became too awkward.

        "Well, our old Master thought that strength was everything and after the Grand Magic Games he disappeared and everyone in the guild said that I should be the new Master," I said in one breath. She looked at me weirdly. "I know, sounds weird right?" Instead of agreeing, she just chuckled.

        "Nah, I've heard weirder," she smiled, making my heart flutter, but then I felt another pang of sadness. She wasn't wearing the clip I had given her. Now that I think about it, where is it?

        "Here are your drinks," said the waiter, gently placing a glass of milk and strawberry lemonade on the table. "Would you two like anything else?"

        "No thanks," we both said unison, making me slightly blush. The waiter nodded and left. Please please don't tell me she can see me blushing. Whether she remembers or not, knowing her, she'll never let me live it down. I quickly took a sip of my milk. When I placed the glass down, Jessie started giggling.

        "What?" I asked.

        "A very nice mustache you have indeed," she giggled, making me blush even more and I quickly wipe my mouth.

~Lector's P.O.V.~

        The plan was for them to get to know each other more in that cafe, and me and Lexi were suppose to wait outside. So now, we were sitting on a bench together, waiting for the two of them to finish. Lexi was swinging her legs back and forth while I was trying to work up the courage to give her something she loved. Over the past three months, we had been getting closer and closer, and I just really want to go above being friends. Of course I feel bad for her about Jessie, but this has given me the chance to become more than her friend. "H-hey Lexi?" I stuttered, getting her attention.

        "Yeah Lector?"

        "I-I got something for you.." I gave her a box of raspberries I had bought for her. Her eyes almost immediately lit up when I gave the box to her. She popped one into her mouth.

        "Thanks Lector!" she said with a bright smile.

        "N-no problem," I said, probably a hint of pink on my cheeks.

        "H-hey Lector?" she said.

        "Yeah Lex?"

        "D-do you want to pop one of th-these raspberries in my mouth?" she asked, a hint of pink on her cheeks. My eyes widened in surprise.

        "S-sure," I said, an excited smile creeping onto my lips. I took one of the raspberries and slowly put it in her mouth. When we finished all the raspberries, we heard a bell chime. Crap! I panicked. We both turned around to see Sting and Jessie smirking at us.

        "Aww, they make such cute lovekitties!" giggled Jessie. Lexi and I's face turned red and we looked away from each other. Well that was embarrasing...

        "H-how much did you see?" I asked.

        "Oh, just enough," they both said in unison.

        "So how'd it go??" asked Lexi, trying to get off the topic.

        "Yeah, I thought you'd be gone longer Sting-kun," I said with a sly smile. Sting scowled at me, his cheeks turning slightly pink.

        "So, what do we do now?" asked Lexi, crossing her arms.

        "Oh, how 'bout we go to Sabertooth?" suggested Jessie. "I haven't been there in awhile, I wonder how it's changed."

        "S-sure, we can go," said Sting. Jessie grinned and grabbed Lexi.

        "Then what're we waiting for? Let's get to the train station!" Jessie said impatiently.
