Bastian felt the warm reach his skin as he thought about last night and this morning. What did happen that would
make Bastian feel so lost... empty... but... hopeful?
Why did Ben come to him then? It seemed he almost needed to tell
Bastian something. Bastian could see it in his voice, his aching body and even... Ben's soul?
But Ben held back...
This confused Bastian because he knew deep inside he didn't what horrible secret dwelled inside Ben because... because...
Sophia: Hey Bast, are you okay?
Bastian: Wha--? Oh, yeah... i am...
Bastian mentally shoved his thoughts
aside as he settled back to reality. Damn, why did he always dwell and overthink everything? The world became a blur when
he retreated into his mind.
Sophia: Look, I know you're worried about Lance and this crazy reporter chick, but it'll work out Bastian.
Reporter?
Bastian wondered what Sophia was on--- Oh, Nami Sue... He felt a pang of guilt when he realised how self focused he was when
other peopole had their own, much more menacing problems to worry about.
But... Bastian felt something missing when
he was with Sophia. Something whole and oh so... perfect. What was it? He liked Sophia geniunely and so wonderfully, but what
was he missing?Bastian: um... Thanks Sophia...
He pushed against her lips. She felt so soft and wonderful to kiss. Sophia seemed to almost melt into Bastian as he
kissed her.
Sophia: Bast! What was that for?
Bastian shrunk back. He didn't like getting scolded.
Bastian: I just...
I just... felt like kissing you...
Sophia: Bastian, it was just so... random and I just don't like being... surprised
like that, okay?
Bastian felt embrassed and felt his heart sink. All he wanted to do was show some affection...
Bastian: oh...
okay Sophia...
Sophia: *gasp* It's that SKANK!
*insert scary music*
Nami: come along Sparky, my Idiotic ally...
Sophia: i have a score to settle...
Bastian felt taken aback. How the heck did Sophia know Nami Sue? And why
has Sophia gotten so scary all of a sudden?
Nami: Oh ho, looks like Miss Prissy pants wanna talk...
Sparky: Damn, I wish I brought my camera...
