New beginnings

<p>(Name) opened her door, a smile on her face. "Poks, Poni! Welcome!"</p><div>

<p>The two walked in, looking around her less than impressive apartment. "Oh, wow... it's certainly an apartment."</p></div><div>

<p>Pokkle elbowed the blue haired girl, who coughed before speaking up. "What I mean is, this place is lovely."</p></div><div>

<p>"Thanks Poni, but I know it... average? I mean at East there's no pests. My last apartment had a bad rat problem."</p></div><div>

<p>They both grimaced.</p></div><div>

<p>"Yeah, they were like the size of my arm. Thought of keeping one as a pet. I mean, they were dog sized."</p></div><div>

<p>"Dog s- never mind. We brought some gifts."</p></div><div>

<p>(Name) gasped when they pulled out a gift basket and pot of flowers. "Guys, you shouldn't have!"</p></div><div>

<p>She placed the basket on her counter, before looking at the pot of flowers. "What are these?"</p></div><div>

<p>Ponzu smiled, her bees flying around the small red flowers. "They're poppies, Poppy!"</p></div><div>

<p>"Poppy?"</p></div><div>

<p>The two smiled at her. "Yeah, it's your nickname. You call us Poks and Poni, so we're gonna call you poppy!"</p></div><div>

<p>(Name) laughed. "Oh really? Is there a reason for that name specifically?"</p></div><div>

<p>———————</p></div><div>

<p>(Name) packed her suitcase yet again after seeing off her two friends. 'I'm going to miss them...'</p></div><div>

<p>She pulled her suitcase towards the airport, where she'd be meeting Gon and Killua.</p></div><div>

<p>It was early July, and the two had asked her to join them on whale island to catch up and train.</p></div><div>

<p>"(Name)!"</p></div><div>

<p>She gasped when she felt someone jump onto her back. "G-Gon?"</p></div><div>

<p>He laughed, hugging her from behind as she tried not to fall over. "Hey, did you miss me?"</p></div><div>

<p>The weight on her back disappeared as she heard yelling from behind her. "Gon, you idiot you can't just jump on people!"</p></div><div>

<p>"Killua!"</p></div><div>

<p>She turned around and pulled the two boys into a hug. "I missed you both so much. My sweet boys!"</p></div><div>

<p>Gon laughed, Killua halfheartedly swatting her away. "Let's get boarded, and we can talk then!"</p></div><div>

<p>(Name) nodded slowly as they explained what happened in Heavens Arena. "You fought Hisoka? Gon..."</p></div><div>

<p>She patted his cheek, the boy leaning into her touch. "I'm okay, (Name). It was a... learning experience."</p></div><div>

<p>(Name) sighed before leaning back in her seat. "I understand you want to get stronger, Gon, but please be careful."</p></div><div>
