"Something smells good," Yugito said as she made her way into the kitchen. She didn't realize how much of a taskmaster that Jean could be...then again, she was working on incorporating her lightning element into her fighting style.

" Mac and Cheese." Taylor said as he poked his head out of the kitchen. He was hoping Michael would be here, but understood that his friend was still needed by his bosses for a little bit longer.

"And there's also salad," Sora said from inside the kitchen as well. He had sensed the others come inside.

" It's ready and I have the plates all ready this time. " Taylor said with a smile. The last time he had almost forgot to get the plates out for everyone and he had been really embarrassed.

Eve giggled lightly, remembering what happened the last time he cooked. Noticing the look of confusing on her friend's face, she said that she would explain later.

" What would you all like to drink. I did make lemonade earlier if you would like it. " Taylor said. He was glad they had lemons in the fridge , since he had wanted lemonade for such a long time.

"Lemonade sounds good," everyone said quickly.

Taylor smiled and got the jug out of the fridge and poured glasses for everyone. He was happy that everyone enjoyed the Mac and cheese , along with the salad.

(timeskip to them getting ready to leave the town?)

( sounds good to me.)

(alright)

Ark and the others stood at the gates of the town, Gina, Simon, Michael and their Bishies were waving good bye to them all. Salem and Eve decided to come with them and Ark was glad for his company, even though Eve would miss her friend. What sort of surprised him was the fact that Kirito was going to miss Kushina, but he chocked it up to the fact that Gina and Eve were friends.

"I'm gonna miss them," Yugito said. "Especially Renamon," she added, getting a chuckle out of her trainer.

" I'm going to miss them too, but I'm looking forward to the adventure. " Kirito said. He would miss Kushina and hoped they would see each other again in the future.

"Same here," Yugito said. Even though she had more good memories than bad, she still had bad memories of this town.

" I do wonder what the future holds though." Kirito said. He wondered if it was possible to save Carly and Deanna's mom. He gave a smile to Eve glad that she was feeling confident in her self , compared to when he had first met his trainer.

"Well there's only one way to find out, and that's to go there," Kit responded, getting a nod out of the black swordsman.

"Alex? Do you think Tracy will let me register to join a match?" Taylor asked. He hoped she would let him, since he felt he was ready to try.

"I don't see why not," Alex replied. "I know that Deanna has Thalia Grace, but I wonder if she has any new bishies..." he thought to himself out loud.

" I wonder too. " Taylor said with a smile.

" Want to go for a walk Thalia? Tracy says the fields outside the city are a good place to train on a nice day like this. " Deanna said. She was had today off and wanted to relax a bit. " I can make us lunch ." She added.

"Sounds like a plan to me," Thalia replied as she stretched lightly, feeling something pop. "especially since you make the best food," she added. The demigod of lightning also had a feeling that Dea would find another Bishie while they were out.

" How does last night's potato salad and turkey sandwiches sound? I'll even bring a bag of pretzels and soda I'd you would like. " Deanna said and got a lunch bag out that would be big enough for food.

"Sure," Thalia replied.

Deanna made the sandwiches and put everything else in the bag. " I hope cream soda is okay. " She said. " How about we get some cookies on the way. " Deanna quickly added. She also packed her charged Bishie dex and some Bishie balls , having a feeling she might encounter a Bishie or two today.

"I'm sure I can live for one day with cream soda," Thalia replied jokingly as she got ready to head out with her trainer. 'I just hope I don't screw up the weather...' she thought to herself.

Deanna smiled ang grabbed the lunch bag and had her purse on her shoulder. " Thalia? Can I ask you something ?" Deanna asked after she had bought the cookies. She wanted to know if would be okay for her to catch another Bishie if she had that chance today.

"Yeah?" Thalia asked, curious as to what Dea wanted to ask, although she had an idea of what it was going to be.
