Ali: Woah... I'm full...*lay back against the chair*

Reverse;*snort* Pftt- You only ate a few cookies how can you be full just from that?

Ali: *tilt head* Well, a few months being the criminal,I trained my stomach to not digesting many food. So now I kinda used to eat small portion.

A few months after his disappearance were sure tough as heck.

Reverse shakes his head slowly.

This kid gonna be the death of him-

Ali: Anyway,are you done? Wanna go now?

Reverse was already done with his foods before Ali. All clean.

Reverse: Yeah,of course.

Both of them stand and go to the counter. Reverse managed to give the lady his card first before Ali could hand out the money.

Ali: Reverse!*whine*

Reverse: Keep you money to yourself,Iris.*look forward**take his card*

Ali: Now you are annoying me...*grumble*

Reverse: Just keep your money Iris. You might need it in the future when I'm gone.

They both walked out from the court,bidding the nice lady goodbye and walk aimlessly.

Reverse: So,where are we going now?

Ali: *think* Hm.... How about arcade?

Reverse: *raise one eyebrow* Arcade?

Ali: Yeah. There are  a lot of games we can play there.

Reverse: Yeah sure. Let's go.

Ali smiled and drag Reverse with him.

It has been a long time since he have fun like this.

And with a cold blooded-murderer as his companion-

Anyway,they arrived at the arcade and Ali rent a locker to put their stuff before actually enter he arcade so that they will not misplaced their bags.

While Reverse is looking around Ali managed to change his money for the token before Reverse could whip out his black card.

Hah! Take that Reverse!

He then walk to Reverse and tug his sleeve.

Ali: Got the token. Let's play!

Reverse:*nod*

Ali take Reverse to play hand-hockey first. Which Reverse always win and Ali is contemplating on should he wear IRIS or not.

After that, they play the fun house. Ali's life is at stake as he accidentally hit Reverse with big ball and he fall flat face down on the squishy mat,Reverse then chased him around the fun house.

Reverse:*holding a balloon sword**maniac smile* Iris~ Where are you~? If you come out now I might be generous enough to hit you as lightly as I can~

Ali is now hiding in balls house. He could see Reverse dragging the balloon sword around while looking for him.

Ali(in mind):I'm so dead...

He was buried in thousands of colorful balls so maybe Reverse will not find him.

Could you be....in here?

Ali's blood turned cold as Reverse is standing directly at the only entrance of the ball house.

Reverse:*incline his head to the side* *maniac smile* Found ya~

Ali scream as Reverse jump inside the ball house and grab his legs.

Ali:AH!!! MERCY! MERCY! AAAAA FORGIVE ME!!! *struggle*

Reverse: FEEL MY WRATH YOU IMBECILE!!

Reverse put Ali in a headlock and use another hand to tickle him.

Back in the past,tickle was used as torture method.

And now, he is torturing Ali for hitting him and making him fall flat on the face.

Ali is laughing loudly to the point tears are brimming at the corner of his eyes. After afew minutes of torture, Reverse finally stop tickling Ali and both of them laying down surrounded by the balls.

Ali is gasping for air while his laughs still linger.

Ali:Aha...Hahaa...Argh...My tummy hurts...*still giggling*

Reverse:That's what you get for attacking me.

Ali:That was an accident!

Reverse: Yet,you still run and hide from me.

Ali: It because you have that murderous glare of course I would run!

Reverse: Pfft-

They both walk out from the ball house after they bracelet beeps, announcing that their time is out. They walks out from the arcade and Ali goes to take their shopping bags from the rental locker.

Reverse: *take his bag* Now,where to?

Ali: After running and hiding I'm thirsty now. Oh,I know! Let's get the boba milk tea!

Reverse: Bob- Boba what?

Ali: *le gasp* Boba milk tea! You don't know about that?

Reverse: I told you,I was not raised here so yeah. What the heck is boba milk tea?

Ali is mumbling to himself.

Ali: Poor man... Never taste the legendary boba milk tea-

Reverse: Oi,I can hear you, y'know?*annoyed*

Ali: You must taste one. Come on let's go!

Ali eventually dragged Reverse with him.

Gosh,feels like he is going with an innocent child who is still learning about the world.

But this child is actually a grown-up teenage boy,a conqueror to be exact.

How- How can he never taste that?

Wait- What does he exactly eat back in the space?

Ali: Hey, Reverse. I am curious. What did you actually eat when you are at your spaceship?

Reverse: Meat and blood after I slaughtered my enemy.

Ali backed away from Reverse.

That's create a giggle from Reverse.

Reverse: Nah, I'm just joking. Mainly I got foods supplies from the planet that are in my diplomatic relationship. Their foods are not that much. But i was healthy and it's enough for me.

Ali let out a relief sigh and walk back to Reverse.

Dang,this man sure know how to make him run a few miles laps-

Anyway,they arrive at the milk tea shop and Ali ordered large original boba milk tea for Reverse and large boba milk tea with cookies crumbs for him.

After paying for their drink,both of them sit down at the place that are provided for the people to rest and enjoy the scenery outside. Garden balcony.

Ali: *already drink his milk tea* Wah... That's refreshing. Come on Reverse,try it!

Reverse look at it hesitantly before start drinking it. He almost choked.

Ali: W-Wait you have to chew on the boba not directly swallow them!*panic**pat Reverse's back*

Reverse: Uhuk-! W-Why you didn't told me earlier,dammit!

Ali: Sorry,sorry! Here,try again. You should chew on the boba.

Reverse grumble before taking his milk tea again. This time,he drink the tea but chew the remaining boba.

His expression soften as he did that.

Reverse: Hmm...Not bad. I like it. *start to drink more to get the boba*

Ali lightly smile to himself as he drink his own milk tea. Both of them enjoy the moment of silent enjoying each other company.

Reverse: Well,I guess I can learn a lot from you during my stay here.

Ali: Haha,learn from me? Like what?

Reverse: Hm, I don't know. I never been around real human my whole life. Just humanoid alien.

Ali almost spit out his milk tea.

Ali: There were aliens look like human?

Reverse: Of course.

Ali lean his head in his hand.

Space are sure mysterious.

Ali: Well, we are friends now so yeah. I will lead you around while you staying here. But promise me you won't go and killing people.

Reverse: No promises.

Ali:*sweatdropped* I can't bail you out if you got caught.

Reverse:*shrug* They will never get me I guarantee that.

Ali rolled his eyes playfully before sipping his tea.

Well,of course this peaceful moment must turn sour as Ali saw some of the MATA'S agents lingering inside.

Ali:*groan**look at his watch* Already? On the day that I'm enjoying myself?

Reverse heard Ali's distress immediately look inside the mall. He could see some guys in black sunglasses.

And it looks like they are talking to the earpiece.

Ali pull up his hood and put on his mask.

Ali: Come on Rev we need to go.

Ah,his suspicion is right. Those people actually recognize Ali.

Reverse take Ali's bag.

Reverse: You should go now. They are after you,not me.

Ali:W-Wha-?I can't leave you alone like this!

Reverse: I'm going to slow you down Ali. And they definitely going to chase after me too since I was seen with you. Splitting up can distract them.

Ali nodded at Reverse's idea. They opened the door to the outside and Reverse rush Ali go.

Reverse:Go! Take the emergency exit!

Ali immediately rushed to the emergency exit and left Reverse.

He hope he did the right thing for now..
