(Y/N) POV

Three weeks have passed since the events of Monstrox, the stone monsters, Jestro and our mother. At that time, I got closer to the knights. In a way, they resemble my ninj team. Now sitting in my room reading the Knighton monster book again, I felt a person behind me, coming towards me. I smiled slyly as the figure was close and turned sharply around with a scary smile. Saber screamed and jumped away from me. I laughed at him as I got up from the bed and walked over to the desk.

- You have a point (N/N), again. -Saber said, shaking his head with a smile.

I put the book down on the desk and leaned back against it, looking at the lion.

- And you're still trying.

"But of course, the hunter never sleeps.

I snorted shaking my head.

"So...do you need something? - I asked.

- Ah yes! Clay and Merlok have asked us to join the library with the others. Perhaps it's something about your memories.

I raised an eyebrow in interest and we left the room. As we walked down the corridor, we heard that something was coming. I had barely turned around when this someone grabbed my hand and carried me to the air. I smiled at him.

- Good morning, Aaron. -I greeted with a chuckle.

The boy laughed. Wrapping his arm around my waist, so I don't fall off the shield.

- Hello, Buttercup! Are you going somewhere? 

I nodded my head. - Yes. Clay wanted us all to come to the Merlok's library. Apparently something related to our memories.

Aaron looked confused and raised an eyebrow. - All of us? 

I nodded with a smile, which he reciprocated. Saber cleared his throat, and we looked down to where Macy, Axl, Lance, Ava, and Robin were already behind him and smiled silly at us. I blushed with shame and told Aaron to put me on the ground.

"Okay then...let's go, let's not make uncle and Clay wait. -  I said, still embarrassed.

They just laughed at me but followed me. We ran out of Fortrex and rushed to the castle. After 15 minutes we were at the place where Merlok and Clay were going through the magic books.

- Hello brother, hello Merlok! - I greeted with a smile, walking up to my brother.

They looked up from the books and smiled.

- Hello sister, hello guys. -Clay greeted.

Macy approached us with the others.

- So you said something about your memories of yourself? What with that? -Lance asked.

- Maybe we have a solution. Have a look.- Clay said, showing us the spell book.

- And you think it will work?- Macy asked after a moment, and Clay sighed.

- It's worth a try, isn't it?

We nodded our heads in agreement. Merlok came up to us. - Well, let's start!

-  Now?- I asked.

- Well yes, the sooner the better!

The wizard told us to stand in the middle of the room and grab our hands. We did what he asked, we looked at each other with slight smiles. Merlok cleared his throat and began reading the spell.

,,A magic that will help our friends see.

So bring them back their lost memories.

Give them lives, familiar colors.

Bring them back to a familiar road.

Let them find their memories at last.''

Some force made us close our eyes. I saw the dark from hearing the silence. Then images started to appear, something familiar.

= Flashback =

3rd person POV

You could see two children playing, imitating a sword fight with sticks. They ran and laughed, at one point the boy disturbed the girl who fell to the ground. He gasped and ran to her, looked at her worried. The girl looked at him with a smile and giggled.

- Next point for you Clay. You're doing great.- she said, as the boy helped her up.

The boy laughed. - Thanks, you are also doing well, (N/N) .- he said with a big smile.

- Thanks, but I can't match you anyway. I prefer hand-to-hand combat than with swords. It's just...it's better than that.

The boy shook his head immediately.

- No, sword fighting is better. -he said, crossing his arms.

The girl did the same with her brow furrowed.

- Not hand-to-hand combat is better and more fun.

- Not at all.

- Yes, it is.

- No.

- Yes.

- No!

- Yes!

- No! 

- Yes!

The boy gasped and the girl smiled victoriously.

"I'm glad we agree, little brother. - she said with a goofy smile.

Clay growled and ran after his sister, as she ran away laughing.

= Go to next flashback =

Clay and (Y/N) were walking through the village when they heard a laugh. They looked at each other and ran there. They hid around the corner from where the voices were coming from. They saw three men laughing at the old man . (Y/N) growled, tried to go there, but Clay grabbed her hand.

- Don't go there (N/N), they can hurt you.

She frowned at her brother and shook her head.

"No Clay, I won't let this guests laugh at the weaker ones- she said, throwing his hand away.

- What are you going to do?- he asked with concern.

She looked towards the bad guys, clenching her hands into fists.

"Watch and learn. - she said and walked towards them.

She stood behind the three men, placing her hands on her hips.

- Hey! Leave that old man alone!

They turned to her and laughed out loud at her.

- Oh, and who will stop us? You, little girl? -asked the man in purple clothes teasingly.

- You heard me. Leave that man alone.- said with the venom (Y/N).

- Oh! Better be careful with her, buddies. This is some little fighter.- The man in green clothes said, laughing.

(Y/N) growled at them and rolled up her yellow shirt sleeves.

- I warned you. -she said darkly and walked over to them.

The men looked at her with raised eyebrows. After a while the girl threw herself at them and started beating them. Clay watched it from around the corner, and at times he winced or covered his eyes. As the sounds of a fight died down, he opened it to see the men lying in a pile and (Y/N), which was dusting her sleeves with a proud smile. She looked at the man who was having trouble getting up, smiled fondly and helped him to his feet.

- Thank you miss. - he said.

- No problem, sir. I always help those who cannot defend themselves. - she said proudly.

The older man nodded and slowly walked away. Clay ran to his sister and hugged her.

- It was amazing, little sister!- he said, releasing her.

- Thanks! You see, hand-to-hand combat is also useful. -She said standing proudly and the boy giggled.

= Go to next flashback =

Clay and (Y/N) were sitting in their common room, where he was reading and she was drawing. Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

- Come in. - they said together.

The door swung open to reveal Merlok holding two letters in his hand.

"Merlock!  -they said with smiles.

The wizard chuckled and stepped farther into the room.

- Hello, young childs. I have something to tell you .- he said, sitting on Clay's bed.

The siblings looked at each other confused then walked over and sat down next to him. Merlok smiled and handed over two letters addressed to them. They carefully opened them and began to read.

- What does it mean, admission as a student to the Academy? - asked confused (Y/N).

"It means that you became students of the Royal Academy in Knightonia and you will study there to become knights, little one. - the old man informed.

The children gasped at the news, widening their eyes. They looked at Merlok with a shock that moment then it turned to excitement.

"Oh gosh, really Merlok!?- Clay asked excitedly.

The wizard laughed slightly and nodded. Clay and (Y/N) looked at each other with wide smiles and started jumping with excitement.

"Thank you, Merlok! -  said (Y/N), hugging the wizard.

Merlok returned the hug and giggled.  - But you're welcome. 

= End of flashback =

(Y/N) POV

When all flashbacks were over, we gasped, opened our eyes fiercely. We looked at the others who stood close to us with concern. Me and Clay looked at each other in shock, but then grinned widely and hugged each other. We moved away from the embrace, looking at each other.

"I remember... I remember everything!  -I said.

- Me too, but ... how? -Clay asked.

I smiled broadly. - Magic!

The others approached us. We looked at them.

- And how? What do you know?- Macy asked curiously.

- Everything. I remember our games, arguments, even when we were admitted to the Royal Academy.- Clay said.

Aaron gasped and shook his head. - Wait, wait, wait! So if it wasn't for the fact, that a woman kidnapped (Y/N) and wouldn't erase the memory, then... (Y/N) would also be a knight with us?! 

"Yes. -  I said with a smile.

- And if it hadn't been for this... we would never have met. Me, you and others. You wouldn't be a ninja and... maybe I could stay alone forever.- Saber said.

I frowned sadly. - Yes ... that too. 

There was a silence that might have gone on, until Robin cleared his throat.

- Then ... if you're Clay's sister, then your last name is...Moorington?

- Yes, Robin. - Merlok said.

- So ... since we are all united, maybe ... we will celebrate it? -Lance asked.

We all looked at each other in confusion and shrugged.

- So what? Let's go with this party! -Lance shouted and walked to the library exit.

- Oh! I can bake a cake for you! Then I will eat them in your honor!- Axl said.

We laughed at it and the sadness in all of us is gone.

"Then let's go... to Fortrex! Let's party! -Aaron said, hopping on the hovershield and flying out of the library.

We cheered (even Saber) and headed to Fortrex.

After our return, we all sat down in the circle on the floor of the living room, playing truth or dare. Most of the challenges were average and funny, Clay looked at Saber.

- Saber. Truth or dare?

The lion hummed, wondering. - Dare.

- Tell someone in this room, what you think about him.

Saber looked down at the floor, cleared his throat, and turned to Aaron.

- In the beginning, I was not fond of you. But then, I realized, that you are a super guy and you are cool. But still, I have some concerns, about you replacing me as best friend (Y/N).

I looked at the lion and smiled softly. 

- Nobody will ever replace you, Saber. I don't know any of my better right paw than you.- I said and he smiled broadly before looking at the floor again as if wondering.

He looked at Aaron again.

- Aaron. Truth or dare?- asked the lion with a smirk.

The archer thought for a moment, then shrugged. - Dare.

Saber's smirk widened even more.

- ... Kiss your crush. -he said with a twinkle in his eye.

Macy, Lance and Robin looked like they were about to have a fangirl attack. I looked at the archer and saw him blush, as he looked at his hands.

- I... I have no crush.  

The knights giggled at him. Lance turned to him after a while. 

- Really? Because I think you, think about her all the time and talk about her almost all the time.-he said with a smirk.

The green knight glared at him and left the room without a word. The others started laughing or giggling, I looked at them annoyed.

"Very mature guys, very mature.  -I said, shaking my head at their childish behavior. 

I went out for to see if my friend was okay. As I left, I couldn't see Clay, Saber, Macy, Robin, and Lance high-fives each other with wide smiles. I searched every room except Aaron. I quietly opened it and stepped inside. The boy was sitting on the bed, leaning against its frame, his back to me. I heard his soft mumbling.

- They planned it. So what if I'm the youngest of them all, but they might eventually stop teasing me, especially when it comes to (Y/N)!

After a moment he turned and we gasped. I looked at him with a bit of concern and he was embarrassed.

"Um ... you heard everything, right?- he asked nervously. I nodded, walked over to his bed, and sat down.

"Why are you so worried that they will tease you about me? 

He sighed looking at his hands.

"Because... um... I can only show you this?- he asked, looking at me with a little worry, but also with hope.

I raised an eyebrow curiously and nodded. He grabbed my hand, brought his face close to mine, and pressed his lips against mine in an anxious manner. My eyes widened in shock and I blushed deeply. When he pulled away, he looked at me with a blush.

- Listen (Y/N) ... it's been a year since we met and I ... like you very much. I fell in love with you ... if you don't feel the same then...

I shook my head immediately at these words, looked down at my hands with a smile. I looked at him with a smile.

- No, me either ... I fell in love with you.

He looked at me in surprise. - Really?

I nodded, he smiled and kissed me again, this time longer than before. He put his forehead to mine.

- (Y/N) ... will you come out with me? -he asked with a smile.

I nodded my head smiling. - I'd love to.

We hugged, enjoying the moment. Unfortunately, we did not notice the joyful look, that was looking at us through the crack in the door.
