Dedicated to my best bud who's leaving. Many thanks to you for managing to become such a pal in a matter of minutes. Thank you for editting and betaing at midnight, and just overall being there when I turn into my insane moments and go stark raving mad. I'll miss feeding you sugar and seeing you go hyper, babbling a dozen things in milliseconds and not understanding a word except for the occasional breakout of "SUGARRR!"and watching the ground whiz by while you inevitably try and get me and UKL to Starbucks at 9 am in the morning so you can wake yourself up. I'll miss shopping with you...until you come back. I'll miss exaggerating things about the dire situations at school with you. Most of all though, I think I'll miss our crazy adventures with being locked in a room outside the exam hall seeing the history GCSE exam take place, to making mischief with a guy's bag in the girl's bathroom (I'll never forget Bernard's face) to generally just going bonkers. I hope you appreciate that this is actually longer than whatever I'm posting.
Good luck in england. They don't know what a gift they're getting. ACROSS THE PAGES

His hand was already itching for some paper. Thinking that he was already in a pensive mood, he thought back to when the little ritual had begun.
It had been after their little adventure with Zeo, he supposed, really. They had not yet become comfortable with the other teams –and Rei was especially tense around the Saint Shields. He still hadn't quite forgotten the threat on his life and Driger's.
Despite keeping a somewhat calm –if not cheerful –look in front of the others, he knew that inside, he had actually been quite edgy.
And so, apparently, had Kai…
