~Third POV~
                          
    Shoto brought Astriel into the ice cream shop which wasn't super busy, but there were enough people for one of them to cause trouble if they got too close. Before the mesmerised dragon slayer could get seperated from her two toned friend, he grabbed her hand, and pulled her back into their spot in line. They got their ice cream and Shoto paid for it with his dad's credit card. "Shoto this is super yummy you should try this!" Astriel said while holding out her ice cream spoon to said boy. Shoto couldn't help but smile to himself seeing this childish side of the girl. "But that's usually something only couples do." Shoto said with a blush creeping onto his face, but only got a confused stare from the dragon slayer. "But does it really matter? We are friends after all, it's not like we're total strangers. Just try it, it's really yummy!" After a lot of persuading the boy finally gave in and tried the ice cream the girl was offering to him. When they finished their ice cream the two teens set off towards Aizawas house so Shoto could make sure Astriel got home safe even though she wanted to walk him home knowing she would be fine even if someone did jump her.
                          
    On their way towards Aizawas house they didn't talk a lot but they were both comfortable. When they got to Aizawas house it was around 8pm, it wasn't late, but it was starting to get dark out. "Thanks for walking me home Shoto! It was nice. I really enjoyed today." Astriel said with a smile. When she turned around to go inside she missed the blush on the two toned boys face. Once Shoto knew she was inside he started off towards his own house.
                          
~Astriel POV~
                          
    "Hi Aizawa! I'm back!" I yelled once I closed the front door behind me. "I thought I told you not to bring anyone over here so they A, don't find out that I live here and this is my house and B, that you stay here with me." Aizawa scolded, this feels too calm. It's only nice because he isn't hitting me on the head like Erza usually does. "Sorry Aizawa," I said bowing while holding my hands together, "Shoto just really wanted to walk me home so he could know I made it home safe."
                          
        Me and Aizawa watched tv for a little bit before going to bed.

"ASTRIEL! What the hell did you go to her? Answer me!" Natsu screamed while holding the dark wizard by his collar. "Natsu I'm okay! I'm okay. I miss you guys so much! You guys don't have to worry about me! I've found some really nice people and- huh?" Team Natsu was still trying to figure out where I went. "They can't hear me." I started to feel tears well up in my eyes. I looked around. Alix was crying. Wendy was crying but trying to comfort the exceeds. Lucy was standing in shock, terror, and crying. Erza was trying to take hold on the situation and find out if I was okay. Gray was on his knees, eyes open in shock and terror. He was right in front of the spot the portal was. I want to help them so badly.
                          
    Next thing I knew I woke up with tears in my eyes.
