(10 Minutes Later)
(B.Star and Flare are now at Mr. Nakamo’s restaurant)
(Axel meets up with B.Star outside, while B.Star is sitting down and enjoying a relaxing cup of tea)
Axel: Hey B.Star!
B.Star: (Puts the cup down) ‘Sup Axel. Where have you been?
Axel: Huh, I was expecting you to be mad.
B.Star: Nah, it was better that you did run, so all of us wouldn’t be caught.
Axel: Okay then.
B.Star: So, what were you doing while we were captured?
Axel: I was just getting a Frappuccino at the café.
B.Star: Ahh, okay.
Axel: What’d I miss?
B.Star: Nothing much. Arelia convinced Miyu to let us go.
Axel: That’s odd.
B.Star: That’s the same thing I said.
Axel: Well, continue.
B.Star: Well, now we won’t be forced to help with the festival, but Miyu did seem angry at Flare.
Axel: Ouch.
B.Star: That’s to be expected though.
Axel: True and it’s also strange that Arelia would purposely let you guys go.
B.Star: I know, right? So out of character.
Axel: Yeah, it’s very strange.
B.Star: Indeed.
Axel: Anyways, where’s Flare?
B.Star: If I remember correctly, he’s inside drinking cocoa and eating a chocolate bar.
Axel: … He enjoys eating chocolate way too much.
B.Star: Surprisingly, it has no effect on him. You’d think he’d have a sugar rush by now.
Axel: Yeah, I’ve never seen him get hyper from it or from anything else for that matter.
B.Star: That’s just him. He’s never really gotten hyper off of anything.
Axel: That’s true. I just hope he doesn’t get sick, because of a choco overload.
B.Star: He consumes like a pound of chocolate a day and has been doing that ever since we’ve known him.
Axel: We’ve known each other since the age of five. Hard to believe it’s been ten years already.
B.Star: Feels more like twenty-five. (Laughs)
Axel: (Laughs)
B.Star: Listen to us, we sound like old men, reveling about our past.
Axel: (Stops laughing) Yeah, but we still have a long way to go.
B.Star: (Stops laughing) Hehehe, ain’t that the truth? Time flies when you’re having fun.
Axel: Yeah. … Let’s go check on Flare.
B.Star: Fine by me.
(They both walk inside and look around to see if they find Flare)
B.Star: You see him?
Axel: No.
B.Star: Where could he be?
Axel: No clue.
