"I love New York City!!" Prompto shouted in excitement as we are walking around Timesquare area where everything has a massive billboard of a sale or latest trends. The evening time is stunning and blinding at the same time for me. I never have seen signs like this and the people's auras are...wild.
"Why am I here again, chatterbox?" I asked without looking at him
"Duh! We are here to see the fireworks!" Prompto replied as we stopped for a moment to see some comedy sign, Prompto looked to be very excited and took my hand.

"Come on, let's check this comedy out!!" Prompto dragged me into the theater without hearing my answer, we're listening to this guy who was ranting on about a toilet and everyone is laughing. I'm confused, what is funny about a toilet? He asked for a volunteer as everyone is very anxious to be picked except me for I was confused about what is going on. He picked a volunteer and they did this thing called 'joke'? So confusing. About an hour, we finally left and walked in the Timesquare area again.

"Alice, you have to laugh or smile at some time," Prompto said with a sigh

"I do smile, blondie." I retorted

"No, not like that. I mean deep down in your heart that shows you are truly happy."

"I see...I'm most happy when I'm facing the Immortal and trying to kill him," I said as Prompto just looked at me with a shocked face that turned to fear.

"Alice...you are really trying to kill him?" Prompto asked

"Yes, he's trying to kill me too, you know. How have you not noticed?"

"It's just my friends and I thought you guys hated each other."

"That is secondary, chatterbox."

"Then the first?"

"The first is killing your opponent with every chance you get," I said grinning in the happiness of the thought me winning against the Marshal. Prompto shook his head in denial of my words and we started to head to the seaports. We got on a ship called the 'Brooklyn' as it started to sail, Prompto dragged me everywhere on the ship and it annoyed me. How much energy does this blondie have? He dragged me outside the ship to see the multiple buildings in the city. Apparently, we had a table save for us and food is automatically served to us. Prompto didn't strike me as someone who would pay for it so that leaves one of his friends. The food served is a five-course meal of fish and streak with many sides. To top off the course is two sweets dishes: tiramisu and chocolate ice creams with many add-ons. Oh well, free food for me! As we started to eat the food, my eyes gazed on the shoreline and mentally sighed. Some were old that remind the people of the good days and modern building with business's names. This was nothing compared to my home that tall buildings as well with businesses open to the public. However, no one dare defy the current ruler. This moment does remind me of the invisible cage I have back home but I happened to like that very same cage. 

"Alice! Look, Look!! The statue of liberty! We have to get a picture!!" Prompto said as he suddenly took my hand, we dashed outside to the wide patio area and Prompto took out his camera. 

"Alice, stand over there so, we can get the statue! Hurry!!" He said in a state of excitement as my feet lead me to the railing of the ship, Prompto snapped the photo and gave me a thumbs up.

"Blondie, how much memory do you have in that camera thingy?" I asked out of curiosity 

"A lot, really. I have more in my bag...My bag!!" He quickly rushed back inside as I followed him, we returned to our table and the bag is no longer there. My eyes saw the panic and dread in his eyes. Moreover, his aura had dampened dramatically over this bag. Why?

"Blondie, let's ask the servers to see if they have seen it, ok?"

"Yeah! That is a great idea!" He quickly smiled for me as he started to go to one of the servers, my eyes closed and my brain started to hack every device within my area. Some people were posting on social media or talking to others from far away. It took five minutes to hear someone say that they hit the jackpot on a bag of camera lenses and my eyes opened. My feet started to walk to the person who appears to be on the lower levels where the food is coming from. I walked into the kitchen to see many people in the same uniform for the servers and I spotted my target leaving the kitchen. I followed behind as the burglar went to a small boat that had other bags as well and he snickered as if he had the best day ever. 

No, he's day is going to be hell when I'm through with him.

I approached the thief by grabbing the boat as it was about to leave but my hand pulled the boat back and slammed it in place. 

"Ah! What the hell!" The thief finally turned to see me holding the boat with one hand. He quickly took out a gun as my hand let go of the boat, I leaped into the air and landed behind him. I used my right hand to knock him unconscious and I sighed. What a pain...

I got Prompto's bag as my hands opened the pocket to see that everything is inside and my eyes fell to a wrapped box with a ribbon. On its tag, my name is on it and my mind clicked on why Prompto dragged me here in New York City. Feeling better than I got his bag, I decided to return everyone's stuff as well. How to do that? Well, lucky there are a few police officers that I can tell about the boat minus telling them how I know where to find the thief. As the police returned everyone's items, I found Prompto who came to me and asked,

"Alice, I was looking everywhere for you! Where have you been? Oh! My bag; you found it!!" Prompto said as I am relieved that he can be easily distracted, he leads me to the patio again and we sat in the sitting area. After a few minutes, the boat stopped in an area where the other boats were parked in place to see the fireworks.

"Man, that was a close one! I thought I lost the most important thing!" Prompto said

"What thing is so important?" I asked as Prompto stopped his actions, his eyes gave me a look and his cheeks flared red. He quickly turned his head and scratched his head.

"Uh well..."

"Just spit it out, chatterbox." I urged him to hurry up as he sighed to steady himself, his hands grabbed the wrapped box from his bag and handed it to me. My hands unwrapped the box to reveal a silver bracelet with a charm of a sword. 

"I saw it earlier when we went shopping and I thought that is perfect for you since you always fight, Alice," Prompto said as I put the bracelet on my other arm, my eyes scanned the item to be completely normal but yet...it looks cool for some reason.

"..."

"You don't like it?" Prompto said as he panicked 

"...No, I like it. No..one has ever given me a gift like this before." I said in truth for once in my life

"Really? What about that red bracelet your wearing? I thought your master gave that to you." Prompto asked

"No. This bracelet is a reminder of something I don't want to remember." I answered as Prompto was about to ask, we heard the big boom and whipped our heads to the sky. My eyes widened to see many colors of red, yellow, purple and other colors blending into the background of the sky. People were cheering in excitement and pride. The auras around me were calm as if the sea is granting me eternal peace. My eyes were recording this event for my own personal memory and I named it: Fireworks. Suddenly, I heard a flash go off as I turned my gaze to Prompto who took a picture of me and said,

"You finally smiled, for real this time!!"

"I did?" I asked as I wasn't too sure of my action

"Yeah, check it out!" Prompto said as he came to me, he showed me that my face gazing at the sky and my mouth had formed into a smile that I didn't think I have.

"Prompto."

"Yeah?"

"Can I have that photo?"

"Sure! Alice, I'm going to keep one too since you smiled! Wait until the others see this!"

"Don't show them my smile, chatterbox."

"Why?!"

"Then they will tell the Immortal."
