Aeris' POV:

"..." We walked into the giant castle. "......", "You'll live." Yuki said. "No I won't! I don't have my weapons, my armor, my--!", "Just relax." He said, putting his hands on my shoulders. "Tch..." I said, crossing my arms. "Aeris!" Soren jumped at me from out of nowhere. "Ah!" I said, dodging him. He landed. "Oof!" He said, as he got up. "You guys made it!" He said. "Aeris didn't want to wear a dress..." Lana said, scratching the back of her head. "I would've guessed." Soren said, laughing. "Well, in any case, enjoy the celebration!" He said, walking off. "Well then..." Yuki said. "..." I continued to stay silent. "I know what'll take your mind off of it, food?" Yuki said. "GAAASP!" I gasped. "Ahem." I said, calming myself. "Heheh..." Yuki laughed. "It's not funny..." I said. I grabbed a plate of food, then I sat down next to Yuki. "The food is amazing!" I said. "Is it?" Yuki said. "Obviously." I said. "Alright. I'll be right back." Yuki said, walking over to the food. "Didn't he just have cake earlier...?" Lana asked. "Yeah." I said. "His stomach is like an endless pit..." I whispered. "Wow." Lana said. "Mmhm." I said. 'I keep getting this feeling...' I thought. 'It's like someone's watching my every move... But, who?' I thought. 'It can't be Soren, or Yuki, or Lana...-- M-Makoto?!" My eyes scanned the room. '...-- BELOW US?!' I thought. "EVERYONE! Get away from the center of the room!" I shouted. "Aeris, there's no one here!" Yuki yelled. "Please--" *BOOOOM!* "..." The room exploded. "...No... No, no, NO, NO!" I shouted, running over to Yuki, who was in the explosion. "..." No response. "..." I sighed in relief that his heart was beating. "..." I growled. "Surprise! Oh... Wait. It wasn't really a surprise, was it?" It was Makoto. 'I need my armor... And blades... Now!'
