The reason why Celty never really walked around much in Ikebukuro, aside from keeping her motorbike company, is because she doesn't like bumping into people. And in any city, whether it be a small one or a big one, just as long as it has city along with its name, chances of bumping into strangers at least once a day was pretty high.

That was also the reason why she mostly talks to Shizuo in parks, or less populated areas— less chances of bumping into people, and her helmet bouncing off, and less chances of the 'urban legend' being seen as well.

And while it's practically impossible not to bump into people at least once in her long long life, she's at least made it to be very very careful in her 20 years without her head.

Which is why it surprised Celty to bump into a blonde tourist out of the blue.

Luckily, her shadows caught her helmet before physics could kick in.

She began to type, [I'm sorry, I didn't see where I was going—]

But she was beat to it when the stranger said, "Celty is that you?"

Celty would stare in dumb shock if she had a head, but the best she could do was make her body still in shock instead.

"Ahh, where's my manners, here, I'll lend you a hand, I apologize for bumping into you all of a sudden. Well, it's been a long long time since I last saw you, Celty dear!" the man said, his green eyes warming in delight.

[I'm sorry, who are you?]

"Forgive me, it was a long time since I last saw you, and it was just once, when you were with my sister during a visit to the Court. Aldine missed having to play with Shooter after that day-"

Celty began to furiously type, [Sister? Court? Shooter? How do you know about Shooter, and what are you talking about—!]

But before she could finish typing it out, the man suddenly said, "I'm sorry I have to leave so abruptly, but I see my friend around the corner. I'm really sorry, but let's catch up another time, Celty!"

And with that, the man was gone, and Celty was left behind more confused than ever.

And another reason why she doesn't like to walk around so much- she meets the strangest of people...

OMAKE:

"A-A-Arthur-san! You, you, you!"

"Kiku, what is it?"

"The B-b-black Rider! You got to meet him!"

"Kiku, are you okay? Your mouth's beginning to foam— Kiku? Kiku! Japan!"

AN: I just wanted to write a fic where Arthur and Celty meet. Because Celty's a fairy too you know!

Btw, the 'Court' Arthur mentioned was the Seelie Court, but I just left it as Court since there's also an Unseelie Court. The sister here is Ireland, and Aldine is what I named one of Arthur's unicorns.

Also, please forgive me for this crappy fic. OTL
