We were on the road again heading to some weird name port but my scanners were busy with a current problem. The blue Z virus somehow made it to one part of my brain: the function system panel 1. My circuits inside my brain we're going haywire and part of my scanners were seeing mixed colors like the Giver's world. Good news since I can still transfer data and record my target. The bad news is that I will experience the deep dives more without my consent. The authorized dive is looking into people's past life. Medusa had always told me that this ability is mine alone but I...don't think she was telling the whole truth about it. With this ability, I can instantly know what they saw and how they feel. When the dive was going through Noctis, he was remembering a moment in time when things were...simple, I believe. My mind placed barriers around the function system panel 1 for now until I can contact Medusa. The really bad news is that I can't contact Medusa at all or Ardyn for that matter. All my contacts are somehow missing which shouldn't be possible. This isn't good. My thoughts were interrupted when Prompto shouted,

"Hey! I see the sea!" Prompto

"I 'sea' it too." Noctis joked

"That is Gaidin Quay," Ignis commented

"I kinda wanna go for a dip," Gladiolus said as I hummed to his response since I'm expected to act normal but it was hard when the blue Z virus is working its way to my whole brain. Once in a while my fingers would twitch in response if fighting the blue Z.

"Is that a mountain behind it?" Noctis asked

"No, it's an island," Ignis answered

"Nobody goes to the Galdin key for an island, though. They go to kick back and get massages." Prompto said

"Massages? What is that?" I asked in wonder of the word to avoid the small unusual twitching in my fingers right now.

"Remember when I rolled your shoulders that time when you were in pain, Alice? That is a masssage!" Prompto said happily as he recalled that time a 'hot' moment, Noctis turned to glare at Prompto and asked,

"You massaged Alice?!Why was she in pain?!Because of you?!"

"Of course not, dude!! She was fighting Cor again and her shoulders were in pain. I offered her a great massage." Prompto answered

"Prompto, don't go touching her without her consent! Got it?!"

"I don't need you tell me what I can do with Alice! She didn't push me away when I did it so ha!!" Prompto retorted as Gladiolus and Ignis just sighed at the duo's useless argument. I still didn't understand why these boys were arguing about me. Still a mystery to be solved.

"And savor the seafood. It's famously delicious." Ignis interrupted their banter to change the topic

"Sounds great," Noctis said sourly as he looked away from Prompto to pout and so did Prompto

"Something to look forward to," Gladiolus commented

"Excellent. More food for us." I added as my mind is thinking about the food in Eos, Ignis cooking had open the door for me to many delicious meals.

"Kid...You can really eat. Where do you put it all, Alice?" Gladiolus asked in wonder

"I'm curious about that as well. Miss Alice, you seem to eat more than an average person." Ignis added

Shit....I was eating like a pig when I forget that humans eat so little.

"I waste a lot of energy when fighting, of course. Cor takes a lot of energy out of me." I replied of this bucket of lies

"How much energy?" Gladiolus asked

"300 percent," I answered as the men got quiet of my answer

Did I say something wrong?

"Alice...We need to talk about normal activities with you." Noctis broke the ice

"Normal activities? Like what? Fighting?" I asked eagerly as Noctis had no reply to my question, the men whispered about retraining me the basic of being...normal??? Whatever that is, sounds boring. Ignis pulled into the parking lot and Prompto asked,

"What do you said we pull over a minute?"

"Yeah, my throat is bone dry," Noctis said

"Maybe because you don't eat all your greens, vegetable hater," I said as Noctis gave me a glaring look but quickly looked away.

"Sounds like ground for a pit stop," Gladio said

"Sounds like a waste of time and money." Ignis said while he parked the car under the shade, "Here we are."

Gladio sighs as we all got out of the car, the Gladin Quay is...peaceful. Something that again was told wrong to me.

"We made it." Prompto commented

There is a beach that had crystal clear water that showed me the atoms and other modules that made this water...stunning. My thoughts were going back to the tech teaching that Medusa gave me when I was little. She had claimed that all the area is evil and needed to be destoryed. From where I stand, I see the weather is calming with the people around here and the sun is welcoming a good day. Question remained: Why did she tell me the world is evil when I see...good? We all went to the building that looked like a resturant until we heard a voice,

"I'm afraid you're out of luck."

"Are we?" Noctis asked as my eyes spotted Ardyn, I am screaming in my mind and stood my ground.

What the fuck is that basterd doing here?!?! Medusa is going to kill him....

"The boats bring you here," Ardyn said

"What about them?" Prompto asked

"Well, they will not take you forth," Ardyn answered

"And What's your story?" Gladio asked

"I'm an impatient traveler, ready to turn ship." Ardyn said as he walked halfway in the group, his eyes spotted me and smiled.

"My my, what a lovely creature you are. You seem to shine brightly than the sun, my dove."

I remained quiet as Noctis was about to go to Ardyn but Ignis stopped him from doing something in public. Ardyn took my hand and pressed a light kiss to my fingers. Prompto and Noctis were being held back by the two older men. However, I saw their weary eyes to Ardyn and realized what he was actually doing.

Is he...flirting with me.....Hell no, Ardyn!!! You went too far!!! You may be my creator but you are a son of a bitch!!!!!

"I'm giving you a final warning: Fuck off, Cherry Top." I said growling while containing my anger, the boys were watching me in amazement of my name calling and Ardyn gave me look.

"Do I at least get a name from you, beautiful dove?"

"....Die, Cherry Top." I said as my hand was about to unsheath my sword but I felt two hands grabbed my own and my eyes saw Noctis holding me back. Ardyn finally let go of my hand and said,

"The ceasefire is getting us no where."

Ardyn throws a coin in my direction but Gladio catches it and it revealed a familiar coin that I know about.

"What's this? Some sort of souvenir?" Gladiolus asked

"Do they make those?" Prompto asked

"What? No." Noctis said as he continued to hold me back, I wanted to kill him for edging me on with his...flirting game. Damn you, Ardyn!

"Consider it your allowance," Ardyn said

"Yeah and who is allowing us?" Gladiolus asked cautiously

"A man of no consequence. I hope to see you again, beautiful dove." Ardyn said leaves us

"Yeah, Right," Noctis said as my body began to shake in anger but...something else as if I wanted to release my powers here and now.

"Alice you ok? Your shaking." Noctis asked

"...."

"Alice?"

"If I see that Cherry Top again, I will cut out his eyes and shove them down his throat. Then I can open his damn corpse." I said darkly as I imagined the sight, the boys looked at me in fear of me doing such a terrible act.

"Alice...if your...going to do that, please don't do it here," Noctis said as he let me go but still stands close behind me

"Also, Alice if you need help; I'll help you with your plan." He whispered in my ear so the others didn't hear him and I looked at his face

"Hmmm. You are being flirt with me, huh? I guess I can you 55 points for trying and a reward." I said

"55 points for flirting??? Alice, something is wrong with you." Noctis commented as he is completely confused on about the points.

"Nothing is wrong with me. Something is wrong with you, vegetable hater." I replied as we went inside the restaurant.

Flashback on Citadel stay, Month 3 day 5

Location: Library

"Alice!!! WHAT IS THIS?!" Noctis shouted as his eyes were on the books that covered the floor, I shrugged and continued to read. I was trying to find a book for the Giver so I know what he is planning and what better way to find a book is in the library. Well, minus the vegetable hater that is here.

"What is what, goth?"

"You heard me, Alice! What is with this mess?!" Noctis pointed out

"I am reading, vegetable hater."

"I can see that and stop calling me a vegetable hater!"

"No, that is your name and Wise beard man said I'm in charge of you," I said as he became speechless and groaned in defeat. My eyes returned to the book that my hands were holding and it has an interesting subject.

"Sigh...What are you reading that had you made a mess in the library?" Noctis asked

"Sex positions," I replied as Noctis stood still, his face became completely red and shouted,

"...What!!!???? Why would read that!"

"Prompto said something about sex and I was curious. Shut up, goth. I'm reading." I said as once again, Noctis is speechless and I heard a slap in his face. He mumbled Prompto's name in disgust as he came to me and sat next to me in the messy pile of books.

"So Alice," Noctis started to break the silence "If you not busy,...do you want to walk with me in the city later today?"

"Why would I do that, vegetable hater?" I said as my eyes were trained on the book

"Because I...wanted to show you something cool," Noctis replied as my gaze went to Noctis whose face had a tint of red to his cheeks and scratched the back of the head.

"Something cool, huh? Alright, goth."

"Really?" He beamed at my answer

"You pay for the food," I said as he frowned at my words

"Alice...you eat...way too much food."

"Who cares, goth?"

"I care. You will get sick."

"Again, who cares and you not my...um..what did Gladio say...Oh, yeah..you're not my mother, stupid vegetable hater."

"Alice, quit learning from Prompto and Gladio!" He demanded as he was about to stand, Noctis lost his footing and fell on top of me. He mumbled an ouch in pain as my eyes were seeing something different and my gaze went to Noctis's eyes. My scanners detailed his eyes carefully as I saw a small glimpse of another him and my hands went to his face. The second version of him looked to be Noctis but...something was way off as his eyes were not welcoming. Rather, sad, angry and...mischievous. My hands explored his face with curiosity as my mind couldn't respond to my current actions and I heard the voice again.

Possible love for you if you succeed. Remember, talk to me when you are ready.

"Alice, is something wrong?" Noctis voice snapped me out of my gaze, his eyes were focused on mine and his hands cupped my face.

"Your face..."

"My face? Something on my face?"

"...No, you...remind me of someone I knew." I lied but the words somehow hold truth.

"Really? Who?" Noctis asked

"...Someone who...was nice."

"I'm always nice, Alice. Even to you when you don't know it." Noctis said as he rubbed my cheeks, my body began to rise in temperature and my face..felt warm for the first time.

"Don't know it? I don't understand, goth."

"It's ok. I'll tell you eventually." Noctis said as he inched closer to my face, our lips were close but our moment was ruined when the three men came inside the library. They saw us in the awkward position as Prompto screamed in panic and pointed to Noctis.

"DUDE!!!!! Are you trying to hit on Alice??!! Hell no, Alice is my girlfriend, Noct!!" He shouted in panic and jealousy. Before I could say anything, Noctis got up from me and told Prompto,

"Prompto, I need to talk to you."

"Why?!"

"You got Alice interested in sex positions. Care to explain that?" Noctis said as Ignis shook his head in disbelief, Gladiolus laughed at his words and Prompto...he looked pale.

"I didn't tell her that! Why would I, Noct?" Prompto quickly said as Noctis didn't believe him, he put Prompto in a headlock and began to choke him. I sighed at the idiots as my body got up from the books, I went back to reading to avoid the nonsense that is there and something came to mind.

Noctis and I had a moment of peace, I think.

....Is that normal???
