Chapter 3 ~ The Hangout

In the morning, Jesse was outside with Lluna by the big red gate waiting for others. She had planned and invited her friends to hang out since they haven't done anything for a long time. She thought it would be fun to have some break from their activities. She remembers the old times when they hang out in their old tree house. She shook her head to forget about the sad memories and knows that they're still friends no matter what. Just then she heard the gate opened to reveal Shira, Nikki, Radar, Aiden, Lukas, & Jack.

"Hey guys! Where's Nurm?"

"Nurm had to stay here to keep an eye on everyone and to make sure they're safe. Stella is also coming." Jack explained.

"Who's Stella?" Shira asked.

"She's a friend of mine. And you will see her." Jesse replied.

Just then, Stella came out before the gate closes.

"Hey, Jesse. Was I taking too long?"

"No your not Stella." Jesse smiled.

"So where are we going exactly?" Aiden asked.

"Well I'm glad you asked. I thought that we could go to the secret place that I have been keeping. I will show you. It will be fun." Jesse smiled.

They all nodded before following her.

While they were walking, Lukas asked Shira.

"Hey what's with the symbol that you and your friend have behind your back?"

"Oh? This? Well we just got these symbols just for decoration. We put these symbols because we wanted to be just like other heroes." Shira said.

But that's a lie. She can't tell anyone yet about their secret not even Jesse.

"Ah I see. We were curious about what you guys have. That is cool." Lukas said.

"Thanks." Shira said looking a little sweaty.

After a minute or so they eventually made it. They were shocked and speechless to see the nice big waterfall and you can see trees on top of it. (Picture)

"Wow!" Radar exclaimed.

"Yeah. Just wow." Lukas nodded.

Lluna was also surprised to see this too. Her mouth was wide opened in shock. Then she jumped up and down feeling happy to go on adventures with them.

Jesse chuckled at their faces.

"I'm glad it never change. This is where I would always go whenever I'm alone. I keep that place a secret and never tell anyone about it. Now that you guys are here I wanted to show this to you since you guys are my great friends." Jesse said, smiling at her friends.

"Nurm would have love to see that place." Jack said.

"Wow. This place is amazing!" Aiden said looking at the waterfall while writing his journal and sketching it.

"Yeah. I have never seen that kind of place." Shira said, sketching her drawing for her to paint.

"I wish I could go there more often. I love that place." Stella said admiring the view of the waterfall.

"How long have you been alone out here?" Nikki asked while looking at the view with stars in her eyes.

"That was like a long time ago before I meet Axel, Olivia, Petra, and Reuben. I am glad you guys get to see it. If only Axel, Olivia, and Petra will come to this place too." Jesse said looking down.

"Hey it's alright. You have us." Lukas assured her, patting her shoulder.

Lluna nodded at Jesse.

"Thanks." Jesse smiled causing Lukas to blush.

"N-no problem."

Everyone was getting comfortable and relaxed to hang out by the waterfall. Nikki and Radar were enjoying each other's company and getting to know each other. Aiden was talking to Stella. Jack, Lukas, and Jesse were chatting things and telling each other's secrets of what they've been keeping. Shira was painting the whole view of the waterfall. As for Lluna she's swimming happily in the water by the water fall, relaxing. They're all having a nice break from all those adventures and works they've been having. This is a life for them. But things won't be the same as they wish it would be. Shira felt as if someone was watching them, but she made sure to keep her guard up if anything goes wrong. While she was painting and thinking, Aiden walked over to her.

"Hey, you're name is Shira. Right?" Aiden asked looking at her painting over her shoulder.

"Huh? Oh hi and yes that's my name. You must be Aiden." Shira turned around.

Aiden blush a little to see the view of her.

"Yeah. It's nice to meet you. What are you painting?" he asked.

"I'm painting this waterfall that we are in right now. I wanted to paint it this for me to remember those nice memories. I'm glad I get to meet Jesse. She's must be so kind." Shira smiled looking back at her painting.

"She's....cute!" Aiden thought.

While they were both talking, Lukas was talking to Jesse and Jack.

"You know what I did after Aiden stayed in Beacontown?" Lukas asked.

Both of them shook their head.

"Well let me tell you...." Lukas started as he started to tell them the secret.

~FLASHBACK~

Lukas woke up from his bed, rubbing his eyes. He got up and walked towards the kitchen to make breakfast. When he made it, he saw Aiden sleeping on the couch with his arm hanging out. He smirks thinking of an idea to prank him. He took out the slimeball he's been keeping and walked over to him quietly. Then he placed the slimeball in his hand, took out the feather and starts to tickle his nose. Aiden groaned and swatted his hand away. Lukas tried again and when Aiden took his hand that had a slimeball on it slapped it on his face. He woke up and saw his hand covered with slime. Aiden then touched his face that was also covered with slime. He started to scream like a little girl and Lukas managed to run away quick before he could see him. Lukas starts to laugh so hard but quietly.

~FLASHBACK END~

Jesse and Jack fell on the down laughing madly.

"That was so funny!" Jack laughed still.

"Yeah. Don't tell Aiden it was me. He would kill me if he heard that." Lukas said.

"We won't." Jesse chuckled.

"Tell me what?"

Lukas stood there in fright to see Aiden.

"N-nothing. W-we're just talking." Lukas stuttered.

"And what was that you are talking about that I wasn't told?" Aiden asked looking suspicious.

"Umm....well...."

"Hmm?" Aiden raises his eyebrows.

"He was just talking about the slime prank you are in. It was him that put the slime prank on you while you were sleeping." Jack smirked evilly.

"Jack!!!" Jesse exclaimed and punched his shoulder.

"Whoops~"

"Not helping Jack!" Lukas glared at him.

"Well you have 10 seconds to run man. 'Cause someone is looking mad right now~" Jack chuckled.

Lukas turned back to see Aiden giving him a death glare with one red eye shining. His face turned pale before running away. Aiden started to chase after him yelling at him to come back. Shira chuckled to see Lukas running from his life and Jesse trying to stop Aiden. Jack was laughing like a maniac. Stella laughed also and joined him to watch the scene. Lluna got out of the water and watched in confusion to see Lukas running away from Aiden.

"I'm gonna kill you Lukas!"

"Hey I said I'm sorry! Someone help!"

"You will be sorry once you are dead! Come back here!"

"Come on! Let's just talk things out!"

Nikki and Radar were also laughing when they heard Lukas screaming while running away from Aiden. Jesse stopped running and watched Lukas running from his doom. She chuckled knowing it was hilarious to see that. Lukas runs around and hides behind Shira.

"Shira! Help me!"

"LUKAS!!!"

Shira sighed and nodded. Aiden was trying to get through her to attack Lukas. But she was blocking his way trying to calm him while protecting Lukas.

"How dare you put that disgusting slimeball on me?!"

"It was just a prank, bro!"

"Aiden calm down. You're acting like a wild animal." Shira reasurred him.

Aiden looked at her in a moment and sighed, "Okay. But if I ever hear you trying to prank me again? I'll kill you."

Lukas nodded.

Aiden stopped attacking while glaring at Lukas. Lukas stuck his tongue out, causing Shira to chuckle. Just then out of nowhere the arrow went past Shira's face and hits to the ground. They were shocked and was frightened a little to see the sight. Shira was also shocked and almost got herself killed.

"What was that?" Stella asked shaking in fear.

The arrow that almost hit Shira has a note on it.
